Chapter 8: The Mattress

Everybody wasn’t dumb; with a fast response, they realized it was simply an odd earthworm.

If it had been a snake, it will most likely be as enormous as something!

However even after figuring out it was simply an earthworm, no one felt comfortable. In any case, an earthworm as thick as an individual was nonetheless fairly scary.

Wei Dalei leaned in opposition to Chen Mu’s shoulder and stated, “Boss, I am going to maintain it.”

Chen Mu was puzzled, “Is it crucial? We may simply go round it.”

Wei Dalei defined, “These two ants from earlier weren’t satisfying sufficient to battle. In addition to, though we have gained superpowers, I nonetheless suppose we’d like some actual fight apply.”

Tang Jing added from the aspect, “Dalei’s thought is fairly good. In any case, earthworms do not eat folks. Simply ensure that to not get squashed.”

“This earthworm is kinda massive, nevertheless it should not be capable to crush an individual,” Wei Dalei stated confidently.

Chen Mu thought of his personal experiences and agreed with Wei Dalei’s reasoning. To outlive on this catastrophe, their superpowers had been their best reliance. In the event that they did not prepare sufficient throughout peaceable instances, they won’t be capable to rely on them in actual emergencies.

“Alright, I am going to make it easier to,” Chen Mu determined rapidly.

Killing an earthworm wasn’t simple; even in the event you minimize it in half, it may nonetheless reside for a very long time.

After observing for a second, Chen Mu and Wei Dalei circled round to the earthworm’s head.

Close to its head, there was a extra brightly coloured ring. Chen Mu used to catch earthworms for fishing when he was youthful and will acknowledge it. Earthworms haven’t got eyes, solely a barely luminescent organ, so that they did not react to Chen Mu and Wei Dalei’s strategy.

That was a great signal.

Chen Mu centered his thoughts, and the warrior’s blade in his hand “melted” right into a metallic ball, then cut up into two items. One half reworked into a protracted sword form, which he handed to Wei Dalei. The opposite half turned a thick, sharp-edged cleaver for himself, each barely smaller than the earlier warrior’s blade.

Since he had recovered from crawling on the desk, his potential utilization had grow to be rather more expert. Creating easy issues like knives and swords was now as simple as turning his hand. Nonetheless, they regarded fairly tough and weren’t very sharp.

Wei Dalei shook his head, “Boss, get me a spiked membership as an alternative.”

Clearly, this man most popular the extra brutal strategy.

“Certain, I am going to go for its neck, and also you smash its head,” Chen Mu stated, reworking the lengthy sword right into a spiked membership with thorns and handing it to his good friend.

“Obtained it!” Wei Dalei grinned.

With Chen Mu main the way in which, they charged towards the earthworm.

Wei Dalei adopted intently, holding the spiked membership that Chen Mu had given him.

Although the earthworm appeared calm more often than not, when harmed, it may thrash round violently, so that they wanted to behave swiftly.

Chen Mu sprinted ahead, lifted the cleaver, and utilizing the momentum of his physique, swung it down fiercely.

This swing of the knife unleashed all of their power, and the blade pierced via the worm’s physique, inflicting a harsh scraping sound because it rubbed in opposition to the cement ground.

Solely a skinny layer of flesh remained between the worm’s head and physique.

Wei Dalei adopted intently, lifting the spiked membership and fiercely smashing it down.

“Everybody, step again a bit.”

Chen Mu lifted his knife and half-cut, half-saw the rope that tied the towels collectively.

The towels scattered, and one in all them lay flat in entrance of everybody. They had been surprised for a second, then instantly rushed ahead with shouts of pleasure.

The half-person thick towel was as luxurious as a high-end mattress, tender and comfy, and large enough to accommodate dozens of individuals.

Everybody was ecstatic, rolling round on the towel. Even composed people like Dong Junwei and Tang Jing could not assist however contact the tender ‘mattress’ with a smile.

After greater than a day of exhaustion, psychological torment, and dehydration, everybody was mentally and bodily drained. A number of folks straight lay down on the towel and fell asleep.

Dong Junwei discovered Chen Mu and Tang Jing, saying, “A number of individuals are exhibiting indicators of dehydration. We should remedy the water downside.”

Chen Mu requested, “The place’s the closest water supply?”

Dong Junwei stated, “There is a faucet for watering vegetation close to the cafeteria, nevertheless it will not cease dripping. The issue is, how will we transport the water? We won’t have everybody go each time we have to drink.”

Tang Jing shook her head, “Faucet water will not do.”

“Why?”

“It is not sanitary,” Tang Jing defined.

“Given the present scenario, we should not be so explicit,” Chen Mu was slightly exasperated.

Tang Jing was often a quiet and refined woman, and it was comprehensible that she had some cleanliness habits. However at this level, holding onto the concept of not ingesting faucet water appeared a bit extreme.

Nonetheless, Tang Jing stated, “If it had been earlier than, it may not be an issue, however after we shrank, all dangerous micro organism have grow to be a lot bigger relative to us. I am unable to make sure if the dangers have elevated, but when now we have a selection, it is higher to be secure.”

“Do now we have every other choices?”

“I do know the place there’s bottled water, and it is not too distant.”

Since there was a greater choice, nobody objected.

The issue was nonetheless methods to get the water.

Dong Junwei stated, “I’ve an thought. Chen Mu, are you able to make a water container?”

“That will depend on how massive,” Chen Mu replied.

“Simply large enough in order that Dalei can carry it when it is full.”

Chen Mu instantly understood what the category chief meant.

He would make a big water container, discover the water supply, after which have Wei Dalei carry it again.

To be sincere, though this technique was a bit cumbersome, it was easy and easy. At a time when everybody was dying of thirst, they did not have time to contemplate a secure water provide system.

Dong Junwei stated, “It means extra give you the results you want and Dalei once more.”

Chen Mu nodded with out saying something.
