Human beings have become smaller in the last days

Chapter 24 The Signal Disappears
After flying to a height of more than 500 meters above the ground, the earthquake started. First there was some white light, and soon there was a loud boom.

A few brave ones approached the edge of the rattan mat and looked down, only to see that the ground was either cracked, or the soil was rolling over and burying everything, or it was being squeezed and pushed up, and the buildings were cracking and collapsing, turning into ruins in an instant.

This earthquake lasted for a long time. They almost fell down several times during the process. Because the magnetic field caused by the earthquake was disordered, the levitation achieved by Song Yi's magnetic field repulsion failed. Fortunately, Song Yi had already made arrangements. , Chen Chen used the floating card in time, and Hu Xiaoyan and others pulled him, so he didn't fall.

I don’t know how long it took, but the earthquake finally stopped. After Professor Pan gave the answer that there were no aftershocks, they dared to land slowly. Only when they got closer to the ground could they clearly see the landscape after the earthquake.

Not to mention the dormitories, only a few of the teaching buildings in the school still have some ruins left, and the others have disappeared without a trace, leaving only fresh soil and mountains as far as the eye can see.

After landing, Song Yi checked the smart bracelet and found that there was indeed no signal. Not to mention that the earthquake would have affected the signal. This global earthquake may have destroyed the signal tower.

Unless they can contact the satellite, they may have to return to their original communication method in a short time.

"The satellite is not working, and now the signal tower is also broken. Are we going to turn back into savages?" A student also took the lead in detecting the signal and said in frustration when he found that there was no signal at all.

"It's not that bad. You forgot that the smart bracelet also has a walkie-talkie function that can communicate with each other within a thousand miles."

"What's the difference between a thousand miles range and nothing?"

"Then don't use it?"

"You still have to use it."

"What should we do now?"

"Let's find a place to rest. What else can we do? We can't sleep in the open. Then we don't want to sleep."

"The problem is finding a place to rest."

"Leader..." As he said this, everyone looked at Ye Lin, Song Yi, and He Chen.

"Find a tall tree." Song Yi thought for a while and said. Resting on the ground must be very dangerous. She didn't think that an earthquake could kill mutated animals and plants.

And it always rains after earthquakes. If it rains, it will be even more unsafe on the ground.

"I think it's okay." Ye Lin nodded.

"We have no objection." The teachers agreed.

Ye Lin asked about the situation of several flying superpowers. Knowing that they had expended a lot of superpowers in order to hold the vine mat, she chose another one with the superpower of transforming into birds and insects to investigate.

Soon they found a suitable tree, which was 1 kilometer away from where they were now. Song Yi controlled the rattan mat to float, and was then led there by the flying superpower who had recovered a little.

Along the way, they saw a lot of buried plants, and even the tall mutant trees were swaying. However, the mountain at their destination did not seem to be affected by the earthquake. The plants on the mountain were all in good condition. Therefore, there were also Lots of mutated animals.

Everyone frowned slightly when they saw the mutated animals, but didn't say anything. After all, if there was an earthquake, they would definitely find a place to hide. Since there was nothing wrong, it was not surprising that they were chosen here.

They would avoid it first and find a way to solve it later, but settling in was also a problem. There were many mutant trees here, all of which were very tall. For a while, they didn't know which one to choose. "Sister Zhou, which tree is more suitable?" Song Yi looked at Zhou Hui.

Zhou Hui sat on the back of a certain bird-turned-superpower and spun around, and finally pointed at one of the huge mutated pine trees and said:

"That's it. This is a mutated pine tree. It is not easy to attract bugs. After the mutation, it will emit a smell that most bugs hate. We humans can't smell it or like it very much, but bugs are very disgusted. It is suitable for living."

This tree is really big. The trunk is six to seven meters thick and a hundred meters high. The crown of the tree is very large. From 20 meters away, there are thick branches growing. The top of the tree is almost all the crown, and the crown is half a hundred meters long. Width.

"Then this is it." Ye Lin was very satisfied.

"This is indeed suitable for us to stay temporarily." Song Yi also nodded, "First check and clear out all the dangers in the tree, and then build some tree houses on it to live in."

"I think it's feasible." He Chen agreed with Song Yi.

"Then let's split up. Hechen and I will lead the people to clean up, and you will lead the people to build the tree house." Ye Lin said.

"No problem." Song Yi agreed.

Then they moved separately. Song Yi was not in a hurry to build a tree house. She began to observe that the trunks of the mutated pine trees were also very thick, and the ones at the bottom were basically more than one meter thick.

Even the top ones were more than half a meter long, and the top ones were thinner. She asked the teachers to come over to discuss how to build a tree house.

There are currently two options, one is to build directly on the tree trunks, and the other is to use wooden boards to pave the spaces between the tree trunks and then build on the wooden boards.

After discussion, the teachers all felt that it was best to lay the wooden planks and then build on the wooden planks, because the bottom layer of tree trunks is just in a balanced state and can be laid flat.

By the way, you can also cut off some of the upper parts to make wooden boards. Then the metal system comes on first, and gets a saw to cut off the upper branches. Zhu Lai drains the water from the trunk, and then Li Hua comes on and makes the trunk into wooden boards.

Her superpower is forging, which is actually molecular reorganization. Currently, it can only be used against dead objects. Tree trunks that are cut down and then drained of water are already dead objects.

With Li Hua, it is much easier to make wooden boards, and you can directly ask for any size or shape you want. After spending three hours, Song Yi and the others finally laid a layer of wooden boards on the pine trees, and they had a 13-meter radius. circular foundation.

It's not that it can't be made bigger, it's just that Li Hua's superpowers have been exhausted and he needs to practice and recover before he can continue. But it's enough for the time being, and the rest can be done slowly.

As for the house, Song Yi originally planned to let the wood-type superpower weave a vine house out of vines, but Zhou Hui gave a good suggestion, that is, there is a bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain. Some of the bamboos are one meter thick, so it is better to just do it directly Cut it down and use it as a house, just enough for one room per section.

After Song Yi took a look at it, he thought it was suitable, so he took people to cut down a lot of bamboo. The bamboo joints were cut off one by one. The big ones were one meter thick and two meters long, and they were made into two rooms. The small ones were also half a meter long. One meter thick and long, it makes a room.

The remaining smaller bamboo sections are directly made into beds or tables, so nothing is wasted.

After working for a long time, the house was finally finished. Song Yi also had a small independent house of her own and was very satisfied.

"Strange." After finishing their work, when everyone gathered in the newly built canteen to eat, Zhou Wan made a confused voice.
