Humans Shrunk 100 Times

Chapter 119: Toy Car

Behind each toy car, there are two or three people pushing hard. These cars are lined up and moving towards the entrance of the cafeteria.

The entrance leads to the dining hall.josei

From this position, you can see the main entrance of the cafeteria, but because the distance is too far, you can't see anything clearly.

At the height of a shrunken human, even the previously flat cement floor appears uneven from a slightly greater distance, making it impossible for people to see each other.

And after humans have been shrunk, their field of vision is easily obstructed by various things.

Afraid of being discovered by people below, Chen Mu immediately crouched down and finally lay flat on the ground. He extended his head from the side of the slope to see what the people below were doing.

Fortunately, they were climbing up from the other side of the slope; otherwise, they might have encountered those people.

And considering this is the cafeteria, these people are probably from the same group as Wei Dalei.

In addition to Wei Dalei, the other three also leaned over.

He Ying lay beside Chen Mu, imitating his actions, and carefully extended her head. After glancing for a while, she said, "This is a set of simulation toy cars from the Ausing brand. There are a total of sixteen cars, each with different models. The car body is made of aluminum alloy, and the tires are made of professional rubber. They are reduced in a ratio of 100:1, and the internal details are also faithfully reproduced. However, they have no power and are purely models."

"How do you know so much about them?"

"My dad gave me a set when I was a child."

"He gave you toy cars?"

"Yes, he was a typical old-fashioned guy. He also gave my mom a PS5."

"And then?"

"And then these two things became his toys. He played with them all the time."

"What a master," Chen Mu exclaimed.

"After I grew up a bit, I realized that he just wanted to play, using me as an excuse," He Ying said, her mouth slightly curled up as she spoke about her family, but then she sighed.

Chen Mu said, "No wonder these people are pushing those toy cars. I wonder where they found this set of toy cars."

"It is indeed quite strange. These are luxury toy cars with excellent quality and high realism. A set costs several thousand yuan. How could they have such things in the cafeteria?"

"It looks like they are using these cars to transport goods."

"Yeah, they must have found a ready-made solution," He Ying scoffed.

Compared to those exquisite toy cars, Chen Mu's homemade flatbed car seemed relatively plain, but in terms of transportation, it was more practical. And those cars were just models, still requiring people to push them.

"If we had remote-controlled toy cars, it would be fun," He Ying came up with a sudden idea.

"The remote control might not be easy to operate," Chen Mu said.

"That's true."

"But it's an interesting idea."

"What?"

"The remote control for these toy cars shouldn't require advanced technology. If we find a professional to modify them, maybe we can make it work."

As they were talking, the fleet of toy cars below slowly passed by. Despite the bumpy road, the wheels and bearings of the toy cars were smooth, making their movement effortless. Each car only needed two people to push it.

Chen Mu didn't want to complicate things unnecessarily. Even though it was unlikely that the people below would notice someone walking above them, he planned to wait until they were gone before continuing their journey.

However, at that moment, they suddenly heard someone in the car fleet cry out in pain, followed by a series of screams. Someone shouted, "Enemy attack!" Then, everyone abandoned pushing the cars and panicked, looking around in alert.

Chen Mu could see clearly that more than a dozen figures rushed out from the nearby green belt and launched an attack on the convoy from Yizhong School.

What surprised him the most was that the first person leading the attack was none other than Yang Buan from Qingbei School.

Due to the height advantage and the distance, Chen Mu was initially unsure, but as soon as he heard the distinctive calls from the other side, he could almost confirm it.

It had only been a little over two hours since they last met, and here they were again.

Chen Mu felt that he had an unexpected connection with this chuunibyou (adolescent delusional) teenager.

As they got closer, he realized that among the crowd behind Yang Buan, there were two familiar figures—Zhao Tong and Song Yu.

What were these people doing here?

Could it be that Qingbei and Yizhong had reached an irreconcilable point?

These people were obviously not coincidentally passing by.

After Chen Mu left the storage room, he rushed here non-stop, and Yang Buan's group was only slightly slower than him, indicating that they had a clear purpose and plan.

Attacking the convoy could only serve two purposes: killing people or intercepting goods.

Qingbei probably had both intentions.

From the intensity of Yang Buan's attack, it was clear that he was more serious than when they had fought before.

Yizhong School was taken by surprise, but soon, several people stepped forward to block Yang Buan's fierce attack.

Among them, one person seemed to create an air barrier, standing at the forefront and blocking most of Yang Buan's rocks.

Although some rocks still managed to penetrate the air barrier due to their insufficient strength, they lost most of their force, no longer posing a threat to the people of Yizhong School behind.

With a brief respite, the people from Yizhong quickly organized their defense and counterattack.

From Chen Mu's position, it was clear that there were only about fifteen or sixteen people from Qingbei School, while Yizhong School had at least thirty or more.

Although outnumbered, Qingbei seemed to have come prepared, relying on Yang Buan's initiative to gain an advantage.

Chen Mu concentrated on observing Song Yu's actions.

However, throughout the whole ordeal, Song Yu merely stood with his hands behind his back, following the group without making any moves.

He seemed very confident that even if he didn't take action, the others would be enough to deal with the people from Yizhong School.

Indeed, his confidence was well-founded. Yang Buan alone had already overwhelmed more than thirty people from Yizhong, and most of them in the convoy appeared to be ordinary people. The few ability users were mostly defensive types.

Soon, Qingbei gained an absolute advantage.

The crowd gradually closed in towards the convoy.

As the two groups were about to clash, suddenly, there was a loud noise from the side.

A large flaming boulder rolled towards them, its trajectory clearly aimed at the people from Qingbei.

Song Yu's steps faltered, and he immediately directed everyone to scatter and dodge.

The boulder's speed was fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was almost upon them. The burning flames around it were even more significant, giving it an eerie and enchanting appearance.

This was the first time Chen Mu had seen real fire since the apocalypse.

Compared to current humans, the boulder was already quite large, but in reality, it was only the size of a marble. However, the height of the flames was several times its size.

As the boulder appeared, more people emerged from the green belt.

Obviously, Yizhong had reinforcements.

Or perhaps, they were prepared and waiting for Qingbei to fall into their trap.

Qingbei realized the danger, and Song Yu shouted a few words, but Chen Mu couldn't hear them due to the distance. However, it was evident that they were preparing to retreat.

Although they were prepared, the ten-odd people from Qingbei were all elite, and completely annihilating them would likely require some effort.

Moreover, while Yizhong had more people, there were not many combat-type ability users. Most of the time, they relied on ordinary people engaging in close combat.

Under Yang Buan's abilities, they were mostly just sending themselves to their deaths.

Fortunately, Yang Buan's powers had their limits, and as long as the vital points weren't hit, their lives weren't in immediate danger. At most, they would lose their ability to move.

Watching the chaos below, Chen Mu suddenly had an idea.

"Wei, how about going to get a vehicle with me?"
