Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 226 Explosives
Although everyone was a little worried, nothing happened that night.

After Wu Shumei left, someone quickly brought food over and reminded her not to run around at night.

The food was very simple, probably some compressed biscuit crumbs, and it seemed to come from a nearby supermarket or something like that.

It is now two months after the apocalypse, so we don’t have to worry about food spoiling for the time being.

However, the other party only sent some food but no water. It seemed that they didn't have much water left.

This is a bit strange. Since there is a supermarket nearby, there should be bottled water. Even if there is no one who can purify water, there should at least be a lot of bottled water in the supermarket.

The people who delivered the food also briefly explained that they were indeed short of water. It was true that there was a supermarket nearby, but it had been occupied. If they wanted to transport water out of the supermarket, they had to exchange it for other supplies.

They had almost used up this batch of water, but they had been busy resisting the attacks of the Blood Hand Settlement recently, so they had not had time to transport it.

This is quite interesting news. It seems that there is another group of people in the supermarket besides their group.

Moreover, the people in the supermarket should be quite powerful. To be able to monopolize the supplies of a supermarket, they must have sufficient strength to support it.

In addition, there are only a few key material areas in this place. It is obviously unlikely that the people in the supermarket have never met the Blood Hand settlement. It only proves that this group of people dare not even mess with the Blood Hand people.

This small area is surprisingly complex, and even a trading market has been initially formed.

However, it also indirectly proves that the strength of the settlement is not overwhelming. Perhaps they have some concerns, or the advantage of positional warfare is too great.

One night passed.

The next morning, Wu Shumei appeared in front of everyone again, but looking at the dark circles under her eyes, she probably didn't sleep much last night.

Unlike last night, the other party brought some water this time, but not much.

"I'm sorry, I didn't explain clearly yesterday, so the person delivering the food didn't bring you any water. So I came over to give you some today. Please don't mind. Clean water is really in short supply lately."

Lu Yuning took the food but pushed the water back.

"Can't you get some clean water?"

Wu Shumei was stunned for a moment before she said, "You guessed that? It's true. We haven't had anyone with special abilities who can purify water, and there's no clean water source in this school. A lot of it has gone bad, so we had to exchange it from the supermarket about a month ago. Also, bottled water has a very short shelf life after opening. Anyway, we've been running short on drinking water lately."

"How many people are there among you?" Lu Yuning asked.

Wu Shumei paused, obviously considering whether to reveal the organization's information, but finally said slowly: "232 people"

"so much?"

“Yeah, but some of them are not very old.”

Lu Yuning had guessed a little bit that there should be some students here, but for a school, more than 230 people are not a lot. It seems that something must have happened before, otherwise there would be at least several thousand people in this school alone.

This Wu Shumei reminded him of Xu Qi. It seemed that there were still many kind people among them.

Being able to take care of students in the end of the world definitely shows that one has excellent character.

Lu Yuning thought for a moment, then said, "We can help you find a solution to the water purification problem, but large amounts of purified water are difficult to store and will deteriorate over time. So, you'll have to figure it out on your own."

Wu Shumei paused, a look of surprise on her face, and then said, "Really?!"

Lu Yuning originally wanted to join this organization to see how strong they were, but after confirming the composition of this group of people, he decided to help them. After all, it didn't take much time for them to produce purified water.

Moreover, the character of this group of people is trustworthy, so there is no need to worry about the other party coveting their abilities.

Lu Yuning nodded seriously: "But we need to get some river water first, or if there is rain here, etc."

Wu Shumei shook her head and said, "No, we don't even have enough water for washing. We wanted to go to the river and bring some back recently, but the current situation is special, so we haven't taken any action yet."

"Okay, then we'll be responsible for transporting some back, and you guys can do your own thing."

"How can this be so embarrassing?"

"Just consider it as lodging fee. Besides, you are very similar to a friend of mine. Kindness deserves respect."

"That's right, it's our duty. Leave it to us. We are very familiar with this," Zou Yunxin also interjected.

Everyone nodded. Wu Shumei felt a pang of sadness. She hadn't been doing well lately. There were enemies outside, and supplies were running low.

Previously, because of the battle with the people from the Blood Hand Settlement, many people in the organization died and the morale was a little low.

At this moment, I felt a little touched by the kindness of Lu Yuning and others.

Although I feel very embarrassed, now is not the time to be polite. There are still hundreds of people waiting for water.

"Well, thank you all so much, you, you are all good people."

Everyone was given a good guy card.

"Well, that's it. Let's send the stuff back first. We should be back before noon."

Since they had decided to help, they did not hesitate. After explaining things to Wu Shumei, they walked out of the school.

The cart full of goods was parked in front of the laboratory door, and they planned to transport all the goods back first.

The people in the laboratory began their daily patrol work.

After Lu Yuning told them about the cat at the school gate yesterday, they searched for it all night but found nothing, so they continued searching today.

The main concern is that the enemy is lying in ambush inside the school.

They were people with the ability to smell and had some other reconnaissance abilities, so they started searching the school early in the morning.

Lu Yuning and his companions encountered no other accidents along the way. They rushed to the shore and saw their water base from afar.

The patrolmen on the ship soon discovered them, mainly because their pile of cargo was too conspicuous.

The ship quickly docked and everyone unloaded their belongings into the ship's warehouse.

Then they started salvaging the river water. Their boat was equipped with water collection equipment, so they only needed to use a winch to drag the container filled with water to the shore.

Lu Yuning made a temporary plastic bottle, and everyone filled it with water and dragged it towards the school.

It took almost a whole morning to go back and forth.

When approaching the school gate, I suddenly heard a burst of rapid dog barking.

Lu Yuning murmured, "No way, what a coincidence?"

"Is it someone from the Blood Hand Settlement?"

"Probably"

“What now?”

Lu Yuning's brain worked quickly, and then he made up his mind: "Let's go over and take a look first."

Several people nodded, then threw the plastic bottle filled with river water on the spot, activated their mimicry abilities, and quickly moved towards the laboratory.

A group of large creatures gathered at the door of the laboratory. They looked like stray cats and dogs.

The group of animals gathered at the door and roared at the laboratory door from time to time.

Soon two people came out from the observation hole above the door.

The two men were holding something in their hands, and they threw it directly at the door.

There was a flash of fire, followed by a puff of thick smoke slowly rising out.

The two people above immediately showed disappointed expressions when they saw this scene.

"Didn't it explode?"

"Alas, the time was too short and I failed."

Lu Yuning, who was far away, was shocked. These guys seemed to be developing a bomb?!
