Chapter 7: The Wild Cat and the Tiger
The clothes or something, completely slipped.
The two are indeed smooth and sleek and frank with each other.
But the atmosphere in the car did not become beautiful at all, and the room between the two was only full of speechless words.
Zhou You has previously said that he thinks the worst-case scenario is for humans to shrink to the size of mice.
That's because rat-sized humans have lost control of most of the existing production tools, and they have to face the embarrassing situation of having their head in the range of cats, dogs, and even mice.
That's the way it is now.
Zhou You was lying on his side next to his phone at this time.
He turned around and lay flat instead, then shifted his position to be parallel to his phone, his toes just under his chin.
He raised his hand to compare the position of the top of his head with his phone, then held the position, stood up, and looked left and right.
Zhou You knows that his phone is about a little more than 16 centimeters long.
Now I'm just over half the length of my phone.
Shen Ling on the side didn't learn to travel.
She grunted and got up and ran to the right side of the windshield.
The tape measure is placed right there.
She first put the tape measure down, then tried to pull it out, it was not very convenient, and the sharp edge of the tape measure when it automatically retracted made her feel a little frightened.
"Come and help, I'm lying flat, you measure my height."
Shen Ling shouted, and after speaking, she lay down on her own, and then grabbed the side of the tape measure with her hand.
Zhou You ran over with his hands on his crotch, crouched down next to her, covered his shame with his left hand, and tried to pull out the tape measure with his right hand.
He tried to exert his strength, but this squat and one-handed stance was really not convenient.
In addition, Shen Ling next to him also caused a lot of interference.
For a long time, he really didn't have any thoughts about Shen Ling, he just thought that this person got along well, was quite reliable, and was a friend who could borrow money from her, or lend her money.
But in this situation, I am completely unprepared.
Shen Ling next to him didn't urge him, probably understanding his slight struggle at this time.
However, the tension of traveling around did not last long after all.
He knows the priorities of the matter, and he also knows what it means to avoid danger in an emergency.
Swish!
He pulled the tape measure out.
……
Five minutes later.
"I'm a little over 8.6 centimeters tall now, you're a little over 8.3, and it's really the same as we speculated before, like a mouse." Zhou You said as he wrapped the lens cloth that he had just pulled out of the sunglasses case around his waist.
Shen Ling also had a mirror cloth in her hand, wrapped around her body like a bath towel.
But she tried to take two steps, and then fell straight down, which was very annoying.
"Like you said, it's the worst possible outcome." Shen Ling groaned, "Then do you think we will continue to get smaller?" ”
Zhou You didn't rush to answer, but first shook off the dust on his body, and then observed for a while before saying, "It shouldn't be." The previous coma seemed like a mutation, the final piece of the puzzle for this paranormal phenomenon. If only there was a lab now, at least I could take a piece of skin from my body and see if the cells were getting smaller or lower. In this way, we can get answers to many questions. ”
Shen Ling opened the information APP again and said, "Don't worry, you can still surf the Internet now." If you look at the headlines, the country has been mobilized, and there are reports all over the world, and it won't be long before there will be some scientific conclusions. ”
Zhou You snorted, "I'm now, I just hope they can figure out more things before the power goes off." ”
Shen Ling pulled the screen with her hand again, "Look, there is also a survival guide here, which should be the work of many experts, which gives a lot of survival plans and some available tool guidance." ”
Zhou You shook his head, "It's hard to say how many experts are working hard, but it doesn't mean anything to us." Now everyone is blind and touches the elephant, and they all have to cross the river by feeling the stones, and everyone has a different situation, and it is better to believe in books than to have no books. ”
"We improvise ourselves. Okay, now that you and I have ten minutes to spare, contact your family and ask them how they're settling in, and then we'll have to move on. ”
"Good!"
Ten minutes later, although each of them still had a lot to say, they both cut off the communication in time.
Zhou You: "Now there are still 43 kilometers from my community, and there is enough fuel in the tank. The road ahead can be difficult to walk, and the closer you get to the city, the denser the traffic. ”
"There will most likely be a lot of cars parked in the middle of the road ahead. It's a quarter past six in the morning, and I'm trying to get home by twelve o'clock in the morning. If you have time, just take something to check your current fitness data, such as high jump and arm strength. ”
Hearing this, Shen Ling nodded, "It makes sense, you have to test it." ”
After saying that, she walked to the B-pillar of the car on the other side, and then jumped hard, slapping her palm on the B-pillar.
Gotcha, the bath towel is off.
"It's a nuisance." Shen Ling muttered a complaint.
Then she straightened up again, and then raised her right hand and touched it on the B-post.
Then she picked up the tape measure, dragged it to the side of the B-pillar, and roughly measured the vertical jump and standing height according to the scale position in her memory.
Due to limited conditions, Shen Ling only preliminarily estimated that her vertical jump height is about a little more than 4 centimeters, slightly less than half of her height.
If converted to her previous height, it would be equivalent to a vertical bounce of more than 80 centimeters.
This data is clearly not normal.
Shen Ling hadn't measured her vertical jump before, but she knew that the vertical jump height of many top basketball players was only eighty or ninety centimeters.
Then Shen Ling tried her absolute strength again.
Her solution was to try to carry the phone, and it really worked.
Her mobile phone weighs 202 grams bare, and if you count the phone case, it has to weigh about 210 grams, which is really easy to lift.
Although it only lasted for a few seconds, it was indeed carried up.
This took her by surprise.
Shen Ling hurriedly sat next to Zhou You, and said while doing mental arithmetic: "Our height has shrunk to one-twentieth, and the preliminary estimate of the shrinkage of volume is one-fourth-hundred. Assuming the same body density, the body weight is also reduced to 1 in 400. ”
"Before, my weight was 57 kilograms, so after shrinking, it should be a little more than 0.14 kilograms, more than 140 grams. But I ...... I actually carried a 200-gram mobile phone! That's more than my weight! Wait a minute, I've got to figure out how to measure my weight. Earlier, I saw that you have an electronic scale in the trunk, so I'll weigh it. ”
After Shen Ling finished speaking, she jumped up, slid down the USB cable attached to the tape neatly, slipped to the armrest box, then ran back along the armrest box, jumped down, and then climbed to the back seat along the steps that the two had built with the wooden box before, and got into the trunk.
Six or seven minutes later, Shen Ling returned to the dashboard, "I weighed it, and my current weight is 235.5 grams, which is heavier than expected." Still, I held up my phone, which weighs about my weight. It's incredible. ”
Zhou You shook his head, "There is nothing more incredible than shrinking." Small animals are supposed to have relatively more strength. It's like cats, mice, and even more exaggerated, such as ants and other insects. We have indeed become a different species. ”
Shen Ling nodded in a deep voice, "That's true, but I think that if you face the wild cat alone, if you don't have a guy in your hand, humans are still not opponents." ”
Zhou You was about to nod, but his gaze suddenly froze when he looked at the road, "Wait, something is wrong ahead!" ”
There are some things that you really can't just say.
At this time, the sun had already risen, and the field of vision was much wider than at night, and a large truck was parked in the middle of the road about two or three hundred meters ahead.
The truck did not overturn, but just parked quietly on the side of the road.
On the side of the road between the big cargo and the off-road travel, there was a yellow-haired wild cat lying on its stomach, its head shaking, and its mouth fluttering on the ground as if it was gnawing on something.
Finally, the car drove up to the Wildcat and stopped.
Zhou You and Shen Ling came to the A-pillar, threw themselves on the glass, and looked down from above.
The wild cat stopped its mouth and glanced back at the traveling car, but ignored it, and continued to eat with its head down.
Zhou You and Shen Ling were silent, and the inexplicable fear almost swallowed up all their minds.
The two of them only felt cold to the bone.
The wild cat's mouth was not a mouse, but the lower half of a human carcass.
There wasn't much blood on the ground, just like a dead mouse.
About half a meter away in front of the wild cat, there was a woman with a striped stripe.
A red streak of blood extended from the woman's neck and flowed down the slope of the road for about three minutes.
She only had that much blood.
After a long time, Shen Ling first nervously checked the windows and sunroof, and then made sure that they were closed tightly before saying, "Let's go." ”
Zhou You: "Hmm. ”
When passing by the big truck, Zhou You took another look.
The door of the big truck opened a small gap, just enough for someone of his current size to get out.
I think that the driver inside is more experienced, and he insisted on not being able to drive the car anymore, so he chose to stop decisively, and then stayed up in the car for a while, and the two cooperated to open the car door with all their might, and then tried to move forward on foot, who knew that as soon as he got out of the car, he bumped into the real ecological destroyer, the natural enemy of all small animals, and the sparrow terminator - Wild Cat.
Now, when the wildcat faces a man with his bare hands, it is a tiger, and it is a Siberian tiger.
