Chapter 1142 1140: Silent Resentment
When a person is of normal size, versus being miniaturized, these are absolutely two different life concepts.
In normal size.
No one ever thinks an ant is important in any way.
Even if you accidentally step on one.
You wouldn't feel anything.
But when shrunk to just a few centimeters.
An ant seems like a monster.
And from this perspective.
It is indeed comparable to a beast.
Besides ants.
There are also snakes, bugs, rats, and ants.
Even moths.
Flies.
All become gigantic.
Everything that was once insignificant in reality.
Can become a lethal factor.
Even if they leave this place.
Who knows if the outside is safe.
After all, an ant nest alone makes everyone timid and afraid to move forward.
But if they continue to stay here.
They will starve to death.
There is no lack of water though.
They can drink rainwater.
But they will absolutely not last long.
Lin Lu's concert is only a few days away.
Yet, she has disappeared.
Even some rumors have appeared online.
However, no one believes it's true.
They think it's probably deliberate hype.
Or creating momentum.
Of course, it can't really be called hype.
"Generally, when someone is holding a concert, there are all sorts of promotions and meet-and-greets, but Lin Lu directly disappeared a few days before her concert."
"Yeah, does she want to go against the tide?"
"Could Lin Lu be in danger again? I saw a lot of police on the street."
"Sigh, don't mention it, I don't even know what's gotten into these police, they're all out in force and we can't even run our massage parlor business!"
"..."
During this period, Jiangdu City is absolutely bustling.
First, with Lin Lu's concert forthcoming.
Then, the city is on full alert.
Seeking trouble?
Besides that.
Other criminal groups.
Have also become restrained.
Thus, the entire Jiangdu City has entered into an unprecedentedly stable environment.
No crime.
No illegality.
Unbeknownst.
The police were merely searching for Lin Lu.
Of course, if someone was courting death, they would deal with them along the way.
Anyway, finding Lin Lu isn't that easy.
The scene shifts back to the cannery.
The group has been there for more than a day.
There's no shortage of food.
Even though there's only one small can.
It's enough for the group for a long time.
But if they don't leave here.
Food will eventually become the primary issue they need to resolve.
To make the food last longer for everyone.
Their food is rationed every day.
And the person controlling the food is none other than Lv Hongpeng.
He is strong, fit, and a fitness coach.
The only man here had broken his leg.
The other women could only listen to his arrangements.
"Why are you giving us so little?" It was time to distribute the food again.
The female physics teacher looked at the portion of can given by Lv Hongpeng, frowning.
Because it was previously agreed that everyone would receive a proportional 300 grams (relative to their normal size, it's actually not 300 grams.)
However, what Lv Hongpeng gave her was just over 400 grams, definitely not 500 grams.
Lv Hongpeng glanced at the female physics teacher, then at the frail old Zhu lying in the corner.
Old Zhu had survived.
But his condition wasn't optimistic.
First, he had lost too much blood.
Second, he was facing the threat of infection.
He sneered and said, "Hu Na, look at his condition, even if I wanted to give him more, he couldn't eat it anyway! Since that's the case, why waste it?"
"Moreover, we all contributed to fending off the ants, except for him; shouldn't he eat less?"
"Do you think he can make it? Sooner or later he's going to die. Wouldn't it be better for him to die early and simple so that there's more food left for everyone, maybe enough until rescue arrives?"
In truth, what Lv Hongpeng said made a lot of sense.
It's just a bit heartless.
The physics teacher gritted her teeth, afraid to voice her anger.
After all, it was Lv Hongpeng distributing the food.
If they angered Lv Hongpeng.
And he refused to give them any food at all.
They'd be in real trouble.
"I can't eat this much, give half of my share to them," Lin Lu interjected at this point.
"Oh sure, why don't you give all of your share to them?" Lv Hongpeng sneered at her words.
"You…" Lin Lu was about to explode.
But Yan Ling stopped her.
Beneath someone's roof.
You have to lower your head.
Even though Lv Hongpeng was currently in control of everyone's food.
Seeming to be in control.
At least he hadn't done anything excessive.
If they angered him.
Not feeding them would be the least of their worries.
If he harbored ill intentions or had ideas about Lin Lu.
No one could stop him.
Lin Lu wasn't stupid.
She understood the current situation.
Lv Hongpeng was essentially acting as a local boss.
They were his subordinates.
The female teacher said no more.
She silently took her share of the food to old Zhu.
After feeding old Zhu.
Then she ate.
"I can't eat anymore, you eat it!" Old Zhu, after taking a token bite, said.
"Eat some more, I can't eat that much," Hu Na, understanding that old Zhu wanted to leave her more food, said tearfully, "You always complained about me being fat, I'll take this chance to lose weight!"
But old Zhu insisted on not eating.
Old Zhu knew his situation.
If there was no rescue.
He wouldn't last many days.
But Hu Na wasn't injured.
Perhaps she could hold out a little longer.
After all, the longer they held out, the greater their chances of being rescued.
"Since neither of you want to eat, then just don't eat!" Seeing them pushing the food back and forth, Lv Hongpeng walked over and slapped the can out of Hu Na's hand, causing it to fall to the ground.
In the face of Lv Hongpeng's tyrannical behavior.
Everyone could only endure it.
Another day passed.
The feeling of despair grew stronger in everyone's hearts.
There was no way to contact the outside world.
Trapped in an abandoned cannery.
This place might go unnoticed for a whole year.
Even if all the police in Jiangdu City were searching for them.
They might not be found.
Moreover, the ants outside seemed to know there was good food here.
When the can was unopened before.
Ants had passed by.
But the can was sealed.
To them.
It was just a metal hunk.
But when the can was opened.
The fragrance inside the can.
Attracted them.
And they are capable of communicating.
So every time an ant came over.
The group had to work together to kill that ant.
Otherwise, if an ant went back to report.
They'd face the entire ant colony.
