Chapter 9 Test
So far, the entire team relies almost entirely on Chen Mu and Wei Dalei to take cakes, kill earthworms, and protect everyone all the way here.
Wei Dalei is actually a good old man. When he can help others, he never hesitates or thinks about what he should get in return.
Although Chen Mu is not as noble as him, he also knows that at this time, teaming up is the first choice.
His powers aren't enough to stand alone.
Going out alone is basically the same as committing suicide.
What's more, he just awakened his ability first. This ability is of very limited effect temporarily. At least in the early stage, he has to rely on others.
Dong Junwei called Wei Dalei and stated her thoughts.
"No problem, squad leader, I promise to carry a large tank of water back." Old Wei agreed, patting his chest.
Chen Mu asked, "Old Wei, how much weight can you lift with your current strength?"
"This..." Wei Dalei touched his head, obviously not thinking about such a specific problem.
Chen Mu looked around.
There was a shelf set up on one wall of the house, with some pots and pans placed on it, but the shelf's capacity was limited, so most of the things were placed directly on the floor.
In the most corner, some scattered stainless steel tableware was lost. They were probably selected defective products and were ready to be thrown away.
Chen Mu pointed at a stainless steel chopstick and said, "Let's move this and try it."
It was just the most ordinary stainless steel chopstick, but it looked like a telephone pole in front of everyone.
Wei Dalei walked to the thin end of the chopsticks. He kicked it twice with his feet, feeling a little confident. Then he leaned down, wrapped his hands around the chopsticks, which were about the same thickness as a human, and lifted them up with a strong effort.
One end of the chopsticks was on the ground, and the other end was lifted onto his shoulders. Wei Dalei walked forward slowly while shaking the chopsticks. When he reached the center of gravity of the chopsticks, he easily carried the entire chopsticks on his shoulders.
"It's not a big deal."
After Wei Dalei said that, he slowly put the chopsticks back on the ground, just breathing a little.
"Try this fork again."
Chen Mu pointed to the side again.
The stainless steel fork is estimated to weigh as much as two chopsticks.
Wei Dalei followed suit, and when he raised the fork above his head, his body was already trembling slightly.
Apparently, a fork was his current limit.
"Okay, let's put it down."
Wei Dalei was obviously not as comfortable as before. He let go and dropped the fork on the ground with a clang, which shocked everyone.
"Boss, I can get something heavier."
"No, I know it. Not only will it be lifted up, but it will also need to walk a long way." "
Oh." Wei Dalei nodded.
Chen Mu said: "The metal container itself is too heavy and contains too little water. It is best to find some plastic."
Tang Jing said: "I know where to find it."
After that, he led a few people to a cardboard box not far away. beside.
The huge cardboard box is in tatters, especially after a person becomes smaller, he can faintly see the contents inside through the holes.
"Dalei, can you tear him into pieces?"
"No problem."
Wei Dalei stepped forward to grab a hole, used his hands hard, and with a tear, the already dilapidated cardboard box was instantly opened.
Countless scraps of paper mixed with dust floated down, as if it was snowing.
"Bah, bah, bah..."
Seeing that Wei Dalei still wanted to tear it apart, Tang Jing quickly stopped him and said, "Okay, okay, that's it."
From the torn hole, the contents inside could be clearly seen.
They were neatly arranged bundles of disposable transparent plastic tableware, mostly transparent spoons.
Wei Dalei stepped forward, cut the rope with the machete given to him by Chen Mu, and held the front end of a spoon with both hands.
This thing is much lighter than stainless steel tableware, and Wei Dalei easily pulled out a spoon.
"Is this okay?" Tang Jing asked.
"Let me try."
Chen Mu walked over and put his palms against the spoon.
The prerequisite for his ability to be activated is that his body touches an object. Obviously, the so-called superpower is not omnipotent and has various restrictions. Chen Mu has not been able to figure it out until now.
The entire spoon is still too big for Chen Mu, and with his current ability, it is not enough to change its overall shape.
But he can separate part of it from the spoon.
Soon, Chen Mu got a plastic ball, which looked like a basketball in his hand and was quite heavy.
It's much easier to change plastic than metal.
Before long, a simple plastic bucket took shape.
Wei Dalei shook his head: "It's too young. It's not worthwhile to go on such a trip."
Chen Mu nodded and continued to concentrate.
The walls of the plastic bucket gradually became thinner, while the entire bucket grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye, until a plastic bucket half a person's height appeared in front of everyone.
"It can be bigger." Wei Dalei said.
Tang Jing said, "It's almost done. It's filled with water. If we just drink it, it will be enough for us to use for a long time. Besides, you have to walk a lot in a while. It's better to be safe." "Okay.
" Wei Dalei didn't show off, just asked: "But, where are we going to get water?" "
Not far from here, there is a storage room where drinks are stored in the canteen. We can go there to find bottled water." Tang Jing said At this point, he added: "The distance is about ten meters." More than
ten meters is equivalent to more than one kilometer before, and
a round trip of three kilometers.
Not too far.
But Chen Mu knew very well how dangerous this journey was.
This place is close to the cafeteria. Although the school is relatively clean, it is still relatively messy compared to the teaching area.
If you encounter a mouse, you can basically close your eyes and wait for death.
When facing the end of the world, most people's choice is to find a relatively safe place and live as long as they can, but perhaps because of his experience, Chen Mu prefers to control his own destiny. When encountering a dilemma, his first thought is not to avoid it, but to solve it.
For example, now, when others are trying to hide as much as possible, Chen Mu is more inclined to actively adapt to the apocalypse.
This approach is not necessarily correct, and it is likely that you will not survive past three chapters.
But nature is hard to change.
When everything was ready, Chen Mu planned to set off with Wei Dalei, but Tang Jing took the initiative to ask for help and wanted to go with him.
Chen Mu glanced at Dong Junwei.
The current team is vaguely headed by Chen Mu, Tang Jing and Dong Junwei. After Chen Mu and Wei Dalei, the two most effective personnel, leave, the more people left, the better.
Although Tang Jing has no fighting ability, she is the best among them all in terms of brains. When she met the first ant, everyone was so scared that they collapsed to the ground. She was also the first to think of asking everyone to pick up stones to fight back. , and ultimately survived.
According to Chen Mu's selfishness, he certainly hopes that Tang Jing will follow him and make suggestions at critical moments.
But from the perspective of team balance, those who remain need her more.
Dong Junwei did not hesitate and said readily: "Listen to Tang Jing."
