Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 179: Mutated Birds
Lu Yuning didn't waste any time. After discussing the matter over and over again, it was nothing more than taking some risks.

But he was not reckless and still had some confidence in his heart.

Instead of climbing directly on the tree trunk, you can dig a hole in the tree and climb up. This is safer, and even if you alarm the birds above, you will have a way to escape.

Although the bird's nest seems to be much more than three meters high when actually climbed up, it is still a small project for Lu Yuning.

It’s just a little strange that the turtledove’s nest is built so low. Generally speaking, turtledoves build their nests more than ten meters away.

Several people watched from below as Lu Yuning was busy above. He would crawl out from the tree trunk, throw out some excavation materials, then crawl back in to continue digging upwards, and gradually disappear from their sight.

The five people were bored staying down there, but they didn't dare to chat, so they could only stare at each other for a long time.

At this time, Lu Yuning, who had crawled to the bottom of the bird's nest, was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

I don’t know if it was because the sound of his digging was a little loud, but I could clearly feel the things inside the bird’s nest not far from my head fluttering for a while.

Just as he was hesitating whether to retreat first, the sky above his head finally quieted down and he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he was somewhat frightened in his heart. Although he had only flapped his arms a few times just now, Lu Yuning already exuded an overwhelming momentum.

You have to know that an adult turtledove weighs at least several hundred grams, and it can fly away just by flapping its wings a few times, not to mention its sharp beak.

The initial plan was to use the surrounding wood materials to trap it directly, so that there would be a chance to kill it. However, this is only an ideal situation. We have to dig the passage and look at the terrain before making a decision.

He gritted his teeth and carefully dug through the last piece of wood above his head. An unpleasant fishy smell came over first.

What caught my eye was a huge bird's nest made of branches and weeds. It was so big that only a part of it could be seen.

Through the gap, one could see a bird with gray-brown feathers above. Lu Yuning was standing under the bird's nest at this time. The bird's overall appearance could not be seen clearly, but judging from the color of its feathers, it was most likely a turtledove, and a few bird eggs could be vaguely seen under its body.

His heart was pounding with fear and excitement.

If I had to say the first animal I saw at close range, it would probably be a chipmunk. I was scared to death when I first saw it, but later I found out it was Xu Qi's pet and I wasn't so scared anymore.

But this time he felt completely different. The deep breathing and huge figure made him tremble from the bottom of his heart.

He adjusted his breathing and quickly took a look at the shape of the bird's nest and the surrounding environment.

Fortunately, the mimicry ability seems to be effective for birds as well. The turtledove obviously did not notice itself, or it may be that its current position makes it difficult to be discovered.

The timing is just right now. Although he is afraid, Lu Yuning still decides to give it a try. Apart from trapping the turtledove, they have no other way. It is basically impossible to kill it. With their strength, even if Chen Hong comes, he can't cause much damage.

This turtledove looked about the same size as a chipmunk. With his current abilities, he should be able to make a container of similar size to enclose it completely.

But there is a problem. His vision is somewhat obstructed by a bird's nest.

He thought about it and finally gritted his teeth, ready to climb up directly.

Zhang Xinyue below had already discovered Lu Yuning's intention and became nervous as well, but now they didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that the bird would hear them.

The other four people couldn't help but worry for Lu Yuning when they saw Zhang Xinyue's expression.

Lu Yuning slowly crawled to the side, stopping every now and then. He planned to pass through the side and then climb onto a branch nearby so that he could see the entire bird's nest.

After a while of pupation, the field of vision gradually widened.

The turtledove also appeared in his sight. When he was about to make a move, the turtledove suddenly turned its head and looked in his direction.

Lu Yuning suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back. Firstly, he felt that he had been discovered, and secondly, the eyes of the turtledove were actually red.

He almost subconsciously wanted to deploy the protective plastic shield, but in the end he stopped himself.

The turtledove seemed to just turn its head casually, and then turned back, as if it didn't notice him.

Lu Yuning breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was still pounding.

The main thing is that this turtledove has some characteristics of a mutated species, and its eyes are red.

Combined with its huge body, it looks really terrifying.

No wonder it built its nest in this place, it seems to make some sense.

This was the first time he encountered a mutated animal, and he didn't know what changes would occur to this species after the mutation.

After realizing that this turtledove might be a mutant, Lu Yuning began to hesitate.

However, the following series of plans are all related to this turtledove.

Without good warm clothing at night, exploration would be difficult to carry out. Even if Xu Qi is not taken into consideration, it is necessary to take cold-proof measures as winter is approaching.

And this bird's nest very close to the ground is their best chance.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuning narrowed his eyes, then looked towards the place where he came from, and silently calculated in his mind.

If the bird cannot be controlled, the best way is to retreat back into the passage, but the entrance is right below the bird's nest. In an emergency, it may be difficult to run back.

Lu Yuning hesitated for a moment, then came up with an idea.

Without disturbing the turtledove, he carefully dug another hole on the branch under his feet, which made him feel much more at ease.

After everything was ready, Lu Yuning took a deep breath, then used the branches from the bird's nest as materials, quickly crushed and reassembled them in the air, and directly wrapped them around the turtledoves in the bird's nest.

The turtledove was obviously startled and then let out a shrill scream, but it was too late.

Just as its wings were about to flap, it was completely trapped in the wooden box.

Lu Yuning crawled over at full speed, using his supernatural powers to reinforce the already "packaged" turtledove with another layer.

In this way, the bird and its nest were sealed off.

The trapped bird seemed to be extremely angry, flapping its wings constantly inside, shaking the entire bird's nest.

After struggling for a while, he seemed to lose his strength and his voice became smaller and smaller.

Lu Yuning breathed a sigh of relief. The operation went extremely smoothly.

Just as he was about to reinforce the cage again, an extremely terrifying sonic boom came from the cage below.

Lu Yuning felt as if his eardrums were pierced, and then his eyes went dark and he fainted.
