Chapter 1: Zoom
into the classroom of Class 4, Grade 3.
On the empty ground, a black ant stirred its tentacles, bumping around from east to west.
Chen Mu leaned against the table leg, holding a staple in his hand.
After taking three deep breaths in a row, he turned around suddenly and thrust forward with his whole body, together with the shining silver staple, accurately hitting the connection between the ant's head and body.
The black ant just wanted to resist when it suffered a fatal blow. Because its nerves were not completely dead, its six legs and tentacles were still shaking violently.
Chen Mu looked at the ant that slowly stopped moving and was speechless for a long time.
...
an hour ago.
Chen Mu found that his body had shrunk.
At first, it was a wonderful experience. The surrounding things were magnified countless times in an instant. The roof of the classroom was like a dome of the sky, incredibly high, and the tables and chairs turned into high-rise buildings in the blink of an eye. The entire classroom seemed to be a world.
He didn't know exactly how old he was now. In short, the ants that he would crush to death if he walked casually were now almost as big as a calf.
Chen Mu had no way of knowing what caused the body to shrink.
But after being confused for a minute, his strong desire to survive forced him to quickly adjust his mentality.
When he was a baby, he was left at the door of an orphanage called "Qidian". He was bullied a lot as a child and suffered a lot. He was adopted when he was older and lived in several boarding families. After that, he worked and studied, not to mention his experience. How rich, at least mentally a lot stronger than his peers.
He didn't know what was going on with the other students, so he wanted to find someone first before talking about it.
However, after taking only two steps, the sudden appearance of ants in front of him made his legs tremble.
The local big black ants, whose scientific name is Japanese ant, can reach more than ten millimeters in length. They are shiny black and energetic. Chen Mu even caught and killed many of them when he was a child. This kind of ant usually lives in the wild and rarely appears indoors, let alone classrooms that are cleaned every day.
Chen Mu felt that the cycle of heaven was full of retribution, and he deserved to encounter an extremely ferocious ant as soon as he became small.
As soon as the ants "saw" him, they immediately rushed over with their tentacles waving.
Chen Mu had no doubt that its plier-like mouth could bite off one of his legs.
Of course he would not sit still and wait for death. By chance, there was half a staple lying on the ground, holding it in his hand like a long sword. After several struggles, he finally eliminated one.
Ants have extremely developed muscles and can move things dozens of times heavier than themselves. For pure strength, humans at this time are far inferior to them. However, after all, they have no IQ and poor eyesight. What's more, Chen Mu at this time is even worse than The ant is still quite big, and just one can barely handle it.
This was already the third ant he had killed along the way, and it took a lot of energy.
Just as he was holding the "long sword" and breathing heavily, he heard many surprised voices coming from behind him.
"Chen Mu!"
"It's really Chen Mu!"
"Boss, here!" "
..."
Chen Mu turned around and saw several classmates in the class waving to him not far away.
Sure enough, everyone has become smaller...
Chen Mu had been worried that he was the only one in this situation before, but now it seems that everyone is the same.
In times of disaster, it is naturally safer to stay together. However, after becoming smaller, even if they are all in the same classroom, because the legs of the tables and chairs block most of the view, it is not easy to find everyone. Now, more than an hour later, almost a dozen people have gathered.
However, it happened to be a recess at that time, and there were not many people in the classroom. After everyone met, they confirmed with each other and roughly confirmed that nothing was missing. Chen Mu was the last one to be found because he was sitting in the back corner of the classroom.
Squad leader Dong Junwei stood out from the crowd and cautiously approached the corpse of the ant that was still twitching occasionally. After looking at it twice, she said with a look of disbelief on her face: "Chen Mu, did you kill him?" No one saw his actual body
. The scene of the action was a little unbelievable, but there was no other person around, so it was hard to believe it or not.
Actually I killed three.
Chen Mu felt awesome in his heart.
A tall figure rushed out, slapped Chen Mu on the shoulder, and laughed loudly: "Boss, you are indeed the best. I almost peed my pants when I saw that ant, and I couldn't control my strength. "
The speaker's name is Wei Dalei, Chen Mu's best friend. He is tall and thick.
When they first met, the two of them had a few fights, but Wei Dalei, who was already nearly 1.9 meters tall in junior high school, couldn't do anything to Chen Mu, who looked thin and weak. After a few times, Wei Dalei was completely convinced, and they met each other. Called the boss, the two later became very close. Of course, the main reason why he was so stubborn was that Wei Dalei's grades were not very good. He always asked Chen Mu to copy his homework. During the exam, he also wanted the boss to help him.
There were many tall boys among Dong Junwei, but when they encountered the same ants before, everyone was frightened and overwhelmed. In the end, a girl reminded everyone, picked up the stones on the ground and threw them to fight back, and they barely saved their lives.
Of course, the so-called stones should be just some sand or soil particles.
Wei Dalei knew Chen Mu's strength and ruthlessness, but others did not.
Chen Mu has never had any conflicts with anyone since high school. No one could have imagined that this ordinary classmate who had no sense of existence could be so powerful.
Dong Junwei is the squad leader, with a strong personality and a strong sense of responsibility. Even after she became smaller, she has always been the one to gather her classmates and maintain everyone's fragile psychology. At this time, she was naturally happy to see Chen Mu bring strength to the team.
"Check with each other again, are all the people in the classroom just now?"
"Yes."
A girl said: "There were exchange activities from other schools today. Most of them went to the playground. Those who were in the classroom at that time should be It’s us.”
After the confirmation was completed, everyone gathered in a circle.
There was a goal before, but now they are looking at each other, not knowing what to do.
"What should we do next?" someone asked.
"At the moment, we can only work hard to survive. Everyone has seen that a few scattered ants can make us at a loss. If we can't change back to our original appearance in a short time, survival will be a big problem." Although Dong Junwei has been
encouraging Everyone, but actually I don’t have any confidence in my heart. After all, no one has ever experienced such a ridiculous thing.
"I don't know what's going on with other people, and I don't know what's going on at home," a girl said.
"It's impossible to go home for the time being." Tang Jing, a study committee member who had always been taciturn, suddenly spoke.
Tang Jing has excellent grades and is a well-known academic master. She also has extensive extracurricular knowledge. She is easy to get medals for various competitions. If there was a debate in the class about some topic before, she can basically settle the matter as soon as she takes action.
"Why?"
Tang Jing explained: "According to my observation, our current height is less than two centimeters. If the guess is correct, the scale will be reduced to 1% of the original size. In other words, a person who was originally 1.7 meters tall is now 1.7 centimeters. , the size has shrunk a million times. According to the way we are now, walking 10 kilometers is equivalent to walking 1,000 kilometers before. Think about how far your home is from the school, and there is no car to pick you up now."
