Humans Shrunk 100 Times

Chapter 80: Landing

It is now certain that the headquarters of the Qingbei is located in the playground, while Yizhong is entrenched in the cafeteria.

The storage room where Chen Mu and others are located is roughly in the middle of these two places.

Of course, there is a large open space in between, and the path on this side of the storage room is not a necessary route connecting the two places. On the contrary, because it requires going around, few people would normally walk through here.

But apart from these places, Chen Mu is curious about the situation inside other buildings.

Qingbei has been searching for survivors outside, so theoretically, they should not have missed anyone trapped in the teaching building. However, the problem is that their search for survivors should have started on the third day after the apocalypse.

And during the first three days, it is unknown how many people managed to survive.

Chen Mu believes that some of them will awaken abilities and quickly grasp and utilize them under the pressure of survival, but even so, only a few are likely to survive.

Now that things have come to this point.

Worrying is useless, and with the current strength of Qiming, it is not enough to send people to compete with Qingbei for resources.

...

After the construction of the observation tower was completed, He Ying was the first to go up and experience it.

"There's even a bed?"

She saw a spacious square space that was carved out on the door, and in one corner, there was a solid platform similar to a kang.

"I thought we still had to take night shifts. If we can't hold on, we can rest here for a while."

"You're considerate."

He Ying sat on the hard bed that hadn't been covered with towels yet, and shook her feet, seeming quite satisfied.

"I was thinking, now that we have glass, can we try making a telescope so we can see further?"

"That's not a bad idea. A telescope shouldn't be difficult. I know about it. You need a convex lens and a concave lens stacked together, front and back, and it's done." He Ying said with a cheerful smile.

Chen Mu laughed, "It's not that simple. Anyway, I've tried a few times, but I couldn't make it properly. It had some effect, but it was almost useless. It seems that I need to go and seek advice from Tang Jing."

"Speaking of Tang Jing..."

He Ying turned her head and looked around, whispering, "Was Tang Jing always so amazing? She seems to know everything."

"Well... sort of. Tang Jing has always been known for her extensive knowledge in the class, but..."

"But what?"

"Nothing, isn't it good to have a smart person helping with ideas and strategies?" Chen Mu smiled.

"That's true. Without Tang Jing, we might have taken many detours."

"That's right."

"And Dong Junwei."

"The class monitor? Yes, without her, it would have been difficult for us to come together as a group. Maybe at the beginning, we would have fallen apart."

"He Dong Junwei told me about what happened at the beginning. You killed several of those large bow-backed ants before you awakened, right?"

While saying this, He Ying gestured with her hands to show the size of the ants.

Chen Mu laughed, "That was when I was forced and pushed to my limit. You could have done the same."

He Ying was about to reply when she heard footsteps coming from the stairs.

Du Jiajia's breathless voice came, "Wow, this staircase is so long, it almost exhausted me."

After Chen Mu finished all the construction work, he let everyone come up to take a look and provide some suggestions on where further repairs might be needed. However, because the space above was relatively narrow, only two people could go up at a time. He Ying and Du Jiajia were the first to visit.

He Ying was light as a swallow and ran up the stairs effortlessly, but Du Jiajia didn't have that skill, so she let He Ying go up first while she walked slowly.

It was only now that she caught up to them.

"How is it?" Chen Mu asked the second visitor.

"Let me catch my breath."

Du Jiajia huffed and puffed for a while before calming down and looking around.

In fact, this place is not that big, and there's nothing much to see.

"Not bad at all. There's even a bed. Next time, I'll bring some bedding and it will be very romantic to sleep here. It would be even better if we could see the stars outside," Du Jiajia suggested.

"Wow, great idea!" He Ying said excitedly. She immediately lay down, facing outward, and then tilted her head to gaze outside. She exclaimed, "It really works!"

"Let me see. Yes, indeed! We can see the sky."

"This bed is quite large. Several people can sleep on it."

"You go over there, and I'll try if I can see the ground."

"Okay, okay."

The two girls lay on the bed as if no one else was around, rolling with excitement, chattering incessantly. Chen Mu felt a bit awkward, not knowing whether to watch or not. In the end, he could only say, "I'll leave first. You can come down when you're done."

It seemed that He Ying just realized it was a bit inappropriate. She immediately got up and said, "I'll come down too. Let someone else come up and take a look."

"Okay."

"I'll take another look. I haven't had such a view for a long time," Du Jiajia said, clearly reluctant to leave.

After people became small, it's easy to imagine their limited vision. The height of this observation tower is 80 centimeters, which still doesn't reach the height of humans before, but it can barely allow them to relive some of the past experiences.

Leaving Du Jiajia on top, Chen Mu and He Ying prepared to go down.

However, He Ying didn't take the stairs. Instead, she came to the edge of the stairs, leaped down with a graceful jump.

This startled Chen Mu, who hurriedly approached. He saw He Ying spread her arms in mid-air, making a graceful landing.

With her reduced weight, the impact of the fall was further minimized. It seemed that He Ying had done this many times before, as she effortlessly executed a light roll after landing and immediately stood up.

80 centimeters, the same height as when he climbed the desk to get the cake, but for the current Chen Mu, his mentality had changed greatly. He was well aware that even if he jumped down himself, there would be little risk, not to mention He Ying.

However, he couldn't do the same thing. On the one hand, there was still some risk involved, and on the other hand, he never liked purely thrill-seeking activities.

After He Ying jumped down, she looked back at Chen Mu, clearly showing off and provoking.

Chen Mu just smiled and didn't bother with her, preparing to walk down the stairs.

But then he had a sudden inspiration.

The next moment, he imitated He Ying's movements and leaped down from mid-air.

The onlookers were initially applauding and cheering for He Ying, and teasingly encouraging Chen Mu to do the same. However, when they saw Chen Mu actually jumping down, chaos broke out among them.

"Damn, Chen Mu is crazy."

"He can't be, he's just joking. Don't take it seriously."

"Boss!"

Wei Dalei wasted no time and rushed to catch Chen Mu. If it didn't work, he was even willing to be a human cushion.

However, it was unexpected for everyone.

Chen Mu remained calm and collected. When he was halfway down, he suddenly opened a huge parachute.

Compared to a regular umbrella, this parachute was much larger, resembling the type used outdoors for shade.

Chen Mu's downward momentum came to a halt.

Then he gently floated down, with a landing even more relaxed and elegant than He Ying's.

Only when he landed safely did everyone snap back to reality.

"Wow!"

"That move is cool!"

"Like Huang Feihong!"

Chang Junyan, Sun Yuan, and others couldn't help but applaud.

As for Wei Dalei, he had exerted too much force and had already gone overboard. Now, he turned around and looked at Chen Mu, who was unharmed behind him, scratching his head in puzzlement.
