Chapter 8 Mattress
Everyone is not stupid. After a moment's reaction, they realized that this was just an ordinary earthworm.
If it were a snake, it would probably be so big that it would have no edges.
But even if they knew it was an earthworm, everyone still didn't feel at ease. After all, an earthworm as thick as one person is scary enough.
Wei Dalei leaned against Chen Mu with his shoulder and said, "Boss, I'm going to kill it."
Chen Mu asked doubtfully, "Is it necessary? We can go around it."
Wei Dalei said, "The two ants just did not enjoy themselves enough. , and, although I have awakened my abilities, I still feel that I need to practice them in actual combat."
Tang Jing said from the side: "Dalei's idea is very good, anyway, earthworms don't eat people, you just need to be careful not to be crushed. ."
"This earthworm is a bit big, but it shouldn't be able to crush people to death." Wei Dalei said confidently.
Chen Mu thought about his own experience and felt that Wei Dalei's words were reasonable. To survive in such a disaster, superpowers are the most important thing to rely on. If you don't practice it regularly, you may not be able to rely on it in a critical moment.
"Okay, I'll help you."
Chen Mu made a quick decision.
Earthworms are difficult to kill, but even if they are cut in half, they can continue to live for a long time.
Chen Mu observed it for a moment, then led Wei Dalei around to Earthworm's head.
There is a brightly colored ring near the head. When Chen Mu was a child, he often caught earthworms for fishing and could still distinguish them. The earthworm has no eyes, only an organ with a faint sense of light, so it has no reaction to the approach of Chen Mu and the two.
This is a good sign.
Chen Mu's thoughts moved slightly, and the samurai sword in his hand "melted" again into an iron ball, and then was divided into two parts. One half was made into the shape of a long sword and handed to Wei Dalei, and the other half was given to Wei Dalei. I made a thick-backed machete, but it was one size smaller than the previous samurai sword.
Since he recovered from climbing on the desk, he has obviously become more proficient in using it. He can make something that is not too complicated, such as a sword, with just a second hand. Of course, it looks rough and not very sharp.
Wei Dalei shook his head: "Boss, get me a mace."
Obviously this guy is a rough guy.
"Okay, I'll chop off its neck later, and you'll be responsible for smashing its head."
As Chen Mu spoke, he turned the long sword into a spiked mace and handed it to his friend.
"Okay!" Wei Dalei grinned.
Chen Mu turned his head and rushed towards Earthworm.
Wei Dalei held the mace given by Chen Mu and followed closely behind.
Earthworms usually look docile, but they will turn over violently when they are hurt, so they must be dealt with quickly.
Chen Mu rushed over, raised his machete, and used the momentum of his body to swing it down fiercely.
This knife used all the strength of the body. The blade penetrated the earthworm's body and rubbed against the cement floor, making a series of teeth-shattering squeaking sounds.
There is only a layer of skin and flesh connecting the earthworm's head and body.
Wei Dalei followed closely, raised his mace, and smashed it down hard.
puff!
Not only was the earthworm's head smashed, but a big hole also appeared on the ground.
Earthworm's body twisted violently, and the two people hurriedly stepped aside.
Earthworms can survive even if they are cut into two pieces. Although this is true, it is not that easy. Earthworms need very harsh conditions to heal themselves. If their heads are smashed and exposed to the sun on the cement floor like today, no matter what Can't survive.
Chen Mu and Wei Dalei eliminated the earthworms neatly, which triggered a burst of cheers from the students behind them.
In times of disaster, having strong companions is naturally a good thing.
Everyone regrouped, avoiding the still writhing earthworm, and continued on their way.
There are lawns on both sides of the cement road.
The green grass above the road looks like big trees, stretching outward like a forest, but the real big trees in the distance reach straight into the sky.
The sparrows that occasionally fly by in the sky chirp like ancient giant beasts.
To be honest, if we weren't worried about our own safety, the world in front of us would actually be spectacular and exciting.
"We'll be there soon, right in front."
Tang Jing's idea was correct. Although she was frightened along the way, she didn't receive any more attacks.
In about two hours, a group of more than a dozen people arrived at their destination.
This storage room not far from the canteen is actually very small, only a few square meters. Of course, for Chen Mu and the others, it is bigger than a giant palace.
As one of the kitchen warehouses, there are usually some spare pots, pans, pans and tools stored here.
After everyone climbed in through the crack in the door one after another, they found that the place had been cleaned very clean. Although the room was full of things, there was still a lot of space for people.
"It seems, it's not that good."
After seeing the environment in the room clearly, some people began to complain. After all, just like the classroom, there are no daily necessities here. For people who slept on the floor all night, what is most urgently needed now is A soft bed.
Tang Jing looked around, pointed to a corner, and said, "Go there."
Everyone was confused and had no choice but to move forward.
When they got closer to the corner, everyone suddenly realized.
There is a bundle of brand new towels in the corner. They should be used as rags in the canteen. They are white and soft.
No matter how stupid you are, you know that you don't have to sleep on the floor tonight. All the hard work before has finally paid off.
Dong Junwei was puzzled and asked: "Tang Jing, how did you know there were towels here?"
Tang Jing smiled and said: "My uncle works in the school cafeteria and manages this storage room. When I go to him occasionally, I will come here, so I know the placement of things here very clearly."
Everyone suddenly understood.
"Everyone, step back."
Chen Mu held up the knife and went up to cut the towel rope with a half-cut and half-saw.
The towels were scattered, and one happened to be laid flat in front of everyone. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then rushed forward with shouts.
The half-thick towel was as soft and comfortable as a high-end mattress, and it was big enough to sleep dozens of people.
Everyone was so excited that they rolled around on the towels. Even the calm Dong Junwei and Tang Jing stroked the soft 'mattress' and smiled without saying a word.
After more than a day of exhaustion, coupled with psychological torture and dehydration, everyone was in extremely low spirits. Several people fell asleep directly on the towels.
Dong Junwei found Chen Mu and Tang Jing and said, "Several people have shown signs of dehydration. The water problem must be solved."
Chen Mu asked, "Where is the nearest water source?"
Dong Junwei said, "There is one over there in the cafeteria. The faucet for watering the greening is not closed tightly and keeps dripping water. But the problem is how to carry it. We can't all move out every time we drink water."
Tang Jing shook her head: "Tap water doesn't work."
"Why?"
"Unhygienic." Tang Jing said.
"It's like this now, so there's no need to be so particular." Chen Mu was somewhat speechless.
Tang Jing was usually a polite and quiet girl. It was understandable that she was a bit mysophobic, but at this time, it seemed a bit too much to insist on not drinking raw water.
Unexpectedly, Tang Jing said: "If it were before, there would be no problem, but after we shrink, all harmful bacteria have amplified a lot for us. I am not sure whether the harm will increase, but in some cases Given the choice, it's better to be safe."
"Do we have any other options?"
"I know where there is bottled water, and it's not that far away."
Since there is a better choice, of course others will not object. .
But how to get water is still a problem.
Dong Junwei said: "I have an idea, Chen Mu, can you make a bucket?"
Chen Mu said: "It depends on how big it is."
Dong Junwei said: "As long as it is full, Da Lei can move it."
Chen Mu said Mu immediately understood what the monitor meant.
Make a big bucket yourself, and after you find the water, ask Wei Dalei to bring it back.
To be honest, although this method is a bit clumsy, it is simpler and more direct. When everyone is thirsty, there is really no time to think about a stable water supply system.
Dong Junwei said: "I just have to work hard for you and Dalei again."
Chen Mu nodded and said nothing.
