Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 202 The Long-Awaited Mutated Mantis

A rich aroma wafted through the air. The people in the branch had never eaten such sumptuous food since the apocalypse.

Everyone swallowed silently, but still politely thanked Zhang Qian.

Then he took his own portion and started enjoying his midnight snack.

The entire branch was bustling with activity. Under the soft light of the LED lamp, the entire branch seemed to have a cozy atmosphere. Having more people did have its advantages.

The last time I experienced such a lively scene was when I was a child.

I don’t know what others think, but when Lu Yuning looked at the noisy crowd, she felt as if it was New Year’s Day.

A burst of exclamations brought Lu Yuning back to his senses, and the crowd suddenly became panicked.

Lu Yuning quickly located the source of the panic.

In the bushes on the right side of the shelter, a pair of blood-red eyes like two copper bells were looking towards them.

Although everyone was frightened, they did not run around. It was obvious that they had experienced this situation many times.

The creature just stared at this side, but did not continue to run over. It was probably a little hesitant.

Although the light is insufficient and I can't see what kind of animal it is, judging from the outline and the eyes, it's probably a mouse.

The branch was quickly organized, and except for Chen Hong who was responsible for guarding the rear, everyone retreated to the shelter in an orderly manner.

"Yu Ning, come in quickly."

Xu Qi called out to Lu Yuning who was still standing there from a distance.

Lu Yuning nodded, then lifted her foot and walked towards the shelter.

The mouse was probably attracted by the food they cooked. They had probably focused their attention on fighting against humans recently and had forgotten the danger from wild animals and insects.

Obviously, cooking food in the forest is a very stupid thing. Fortunately, they now have some self-protection ability. This reminds Lu Yuning that as time goes by, they will have more and more contact with wild animals.

Moreover, it is currently known that there are mutant species among birds, so there is a high probability that there are also mutant species among mammals.

We should still increase our vigilance against doomsday in the future. Moreover, food is scarce in winter, and it is estimated that many animals that do not hibernate will come out to look for food.

Lu Yuning walked towards the shelter while keeping an eye on the rat. Although it was probably coming for the food, they still had to be wary of it suddenly attacking the crowd.

Although it was a large mammal, Lu Yuning was still confident that he could stop it.

He retreated as he watched, and when he reached the shelter, everyone else had almost finished retreating.

Lu Yuning was about to breathe a sigh of relief when suddenly a creepy feeling came from her consciousness.

This sense of danger hasn't appeared for a long time, and it's very strong.

He quickly raised his head and looked at the pair of blood-red eyes like copper bells again. Could this not be a mouse, or a mutated mammal?

Judging from the color of its eyes, it is possible, but in Lu Yuning's consciousness, this sense of crisis should not come from this thing.

That means, besides this creature, there are other dangerous things nearby?!

Lu Yuning's abnormality quickly attracted the attention of others.

"Is there a situation?"

Wu Xiao, who was standing next to him, asked. The two of them had already pushed to the door of the shelter, and everyone else had also entered the shelter.

Lu Yuning nodded solemnly: "Close the door first. There are other things nearby. I guess they were attracted by the food."

"Ah? So I'm sorry!" Zhang Qian immediately realized that it was her fault and quickly apologized. "I forgot about it. I've been thinking about Xinghuo lately, so let's not talk about it for now."

Lu Yuning was halfway through her words when the pair of blood-red eyes in the distance suddenly moved.

As if it saw them leaving, it moved closer to the shelter, and the direction was exactly where Zhang Qian was cooking.

After getting closer, under the illumination of the light, Lu Yuning finally saw the thing clearly. It was indeed a big rat.

But the threat he sensed was obviously not this thing.

When Lu Yuning was wondering, the mouse seemed to have discovered something terrifying and suddenly turned around and rushed back to the forest area.

Then a scream was heard, and it seemed that the mouse was attacked by something.

However, the mouse ran too fast and the distance was quite far, so Lu Yuning did not see what killed the mouse.

I could only vaguely feel that something seemed to fly down from the sky and pounce on the mouse with lightning speed.

And it looked like it was killed in one blow. The rat's screams stopped almost instantly. It was obvious that the real threat and attack power were quite terrifying.

It was definitely this unknown creature that triggered Lu Yuning's sense of crisis. Although he didn't see clearly what it was, he had a vague feeling that something was not right.

The noise outside soon died down, but even so, no one dared to go out again, especially after learning that the big rat had been ambushed by an even more terrifying creature.

The people at the headquarters could only stay here temporarily. It was a dark and windy night, and going out to face these unknown creatures would be tantamount to committing suicide.

Even rats of this size are no match for it in one blow. If you encounter them, you will basically die.

We can only see the situation tomorrow.

Everyone had almost finished eating and had suffered quite a fright. Now that they had entered the shelter that gave them a sense of security, coupled with a day of high-intensity work, everyone fell asleep quickly.

Lu Yuning temporarily built a small shelter inside the shelter, so the people from the headquarters could only rest here temporarily.

Although it is simple, the materials are sufficient, and the outer shelter is equipped with a cold-proof layer, so this temporary residence is quite warm.

Several people were so sleepy that they soon fell into a deep sleep.

Although Lu Yuning was also very sleepy, he kept recalling the scene of the mouse being eaten in his mind.

"It can't be that thing," Lu Yuning muttered to himself.

"Are you still asleep?" A voice rang out in the residence.

Obviously, there are still people like Lu Yuning who are not asleep.

Lu Yuning paused and said, "Can you prove that it is really that thing?"

Zhang Muyan sighed and whispered, "Oh, I'm afraid it is. It should be the Blood Blade. It's probably in this forest area. Although I didn't see it clearly just now, I am very familiar with the Blood Blade's hunting movements."

"Trouble"

Lu Yuning was a little uncertain at first, but after Zhang Muyan spoke, he felt disappointed.

Apparently, he had also seen the mouse being eaten just now.

Although there are many living creatures in this forest area, including insects and various birds, they also pose some threats.

However, unless the opponent is a mutated creature, the mutated bee is very intimidating.

However, the appearance of the mutated mantis bred by outsiders made the situation a little troublesome.
