90.9% Humans Shrunk 100 Times / Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Communication

Capítulo 40: Chapter 40: Communication

Upon hearing Chen Mu's question, He Ying seemed a bit uncomfortable and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I originally intended to take action right away, but you woke up."

"You could hear that?"

Chen Mu suddenly realized that the other party had sharp ears, capable of perceiving even the slightest movement. Despite his careful awakening, they still noticed it.

After speaking, he looked at the boy named Sun Yuan with an admiring gaze.

The meaning in his eyes was clear: "Well done, little brother!"

Sun Yuan immediately put on a more pleasing expression and said, "Hehe, Chen-ge's movements were very light. I didn't actually hear anything. I just noticed that the previous three breathing sounds became two, so I guessed someone must have woken up."

So that's how it was.

When Chen Mu sensed the danger, he naturally held his breath and concentrated, but it ended up exposing him instead.

He Ying continued, "So we came up with a plan at that time, using Sun Yuan's keen hearing to track you. On one hand, we wanted to find another opportunity to take action, and on the other hand, we planned to locate your camp, so that we could come and... offer help when needed."

The so-called "offering help" naturally meant stealing things.

Chen Mu thought to himself how lucky he was, as he almost became their long-term meal ticket.

"And what about you? How did you know that we were tracking you?" He Ying asked, voicing his doubts.

Chen Mu replied, "To be honest, I didn't know."

"Huh?"

"When I saw you suddenly leave, I thought of two possibilities. First, you might have changed your mind and decided to give up on your pursuit, or you were just passing by without any intentions. Second, you were planning to go back and get help."

"That's reasonable, which is why you hurriedly left during the night," He Ying nodded.

"Exactly, but halfway through our journey, I suddenly thought of a third possibility."

"What's that?"

"It's like what you just said. Perhaps you wanted to take this opportunity to find our main camp and then wipe us all out," Chen Mu fastened his weapon around his waist again and continued, "Thinking of this, I naturally further speculated that one of you possesses extremely keen senses."

"And you guessed right."

"But at that time, I didn't know the exact ability. So, while pretending to go to the restroom, I deliberately made some noise to make all the ability users among you more focused. From my current observation, no ability can be maintained indefinitely. After giving you a false alarm, you would definitely have a short period of relaxation. It was during that moment that Wei Dalei and I communicated through eye contact and planned the ambush."

"Of course, there was no guarantee of success in such a situation. At that time, I didn't even know if it would work, and I couldn't be sure if someone was really tracking us. But I had to try my best just to put my mind at ease," Chen Mu explained.

Upon hearing this, He Ying couldn't help but sigh, "We didn't lose unfairly."

Meanwhile, Sun Yuan, with an admiring look on his face, began clapping his hands enthusiastically.

Looking at his excited demeanor, someone who didn't know the situation would think he was part of Chen Mu's group.

It was unclear if he had such a personality from the start or if he had experienced something that triggered this behavior.

"You just mentioned that you have companions?" After honestly recounting the situation, Chen Mu inquired about their group.

"We have a total of five people, but the other three don't have any abilities. So, Sun Yuan and I are the ones who go out to find food. At first, it was okay; we could find some food scraps on the ground near the cafeteria. But after a few days, those things became moldy and spoiled. I thought of going into the cafeteria to take a look inside. In fact, we had more than just five people initially, but we encountered students from Yizhong High School. Those guys were simply crazy and ruthless; they attacked us without any reason. After we lost two people, we didn't dare to enter the cafeteria again," He Ying explained with a sigh.

Chen Mu wanted to ask more about their previous encounters and the specific situation with the Yizhong High School students. However, considering the current situation, it wasn't the right time for casual conversation.

"What are your plans for the future?" he asked instead.

"I don't know, to be honest. We came together in confusion in the first place, and although there are only five of us left now, I can't just abandon the others," He Ying pondered for a moment before speaking.

"How about this, both of you can come back with us first. Tell us everything you know about the situation inside the school, and as an exchange, we can provide some food for you," Chen Mu suggested.

"That's acceptable."

He Ying had no objections to the plan, but he still asked with some doubt, "Aren't you afraid that this might expose your location, and I might come to steal from you in the future?"

Chen Mu smiled and replied, "To be honest, if we were unguarded, you might actually succeed. But now, I'm afraid you won't get another chance."

"You're that confident?" He Ying displayed a rare smile.

Chen Mu didn't confirm or deny it, but he was inspired by the idea and planned to create a container to store food and resources.

He would make a large iron box that even Wei Dalei couldn't lift and then seal it shut.

Let him try to steal from that!

"What about you? Aren't you afraid?" Chen Mu asked in turn.

"What?" He Ying was taken aback.

"Who knows, after we go back, we might extract your information and then eliminate you directly."

"You... kidding, right?" He Ying seemed visibly startled and asked uncertainly. The confident and calm expression on his face now showed a hint of anxiety.

Zhao Xiaoyan giggled, "What are you thinking, Chen Mu is a good person."

Chen Mu shrugged, thinking that it was a good thing he didn't say that to Wei Dalei.

...

After so many events, the sky was getting brighter. Chen Mu decided not to rest any longer and planned to head home in one go.

The group of three expanded to five people now.

More hands for labor.

He Ying helped Chen Mu push the handcart together.

To be honest, even though they had abandoned some flour, it was still not an easy task.

The wheels of the cart were finely crafted, but the problem was that the road was too bumpy. They had to avoid some huge potholes in advance to prevent the wheels from getting stuck. Even so, it was still quite difficult to walk.

Wei Dalei pushed the cart, often dragging it directly, which caused significant damage to the cart, requiring Chen Mu to continuously repair it.

"You have good strength. Can you tell me specifically what ability you have?" Chen Mu initially thought that He Ying was just agile, but since she started helping with the cart, it became noticeably easier, indicating that she also had considerable strength.

"I'm not sure if this is accurate, but I can reduce my own weight," He Ying didn't hide her ability.

"Reduce your weight?" Chen Mu pondered for a moment and asked, "What about your strength then?"

"It remains the same," He Ying replied.

"So you become more agile and have better jumping ability," Chen Mu nodded, understanding her ability.

"Yes, I'm not quite sure how to describe the feeling of becoming lighter. It's like..." He Ying thought for a while but couldn't find the right words to explain it.

At this moment, Chen Mu took over the conversation and said, "It's like walking on the moon?"
