The two of them were indeed smooth and honest with each other.
But the atmosphere in the car did not become charming at all. The room between the two was only filled with speechless silence.
Zhou You has previously said that he believes that the worst-case scenario is for humans to shrink to the size of a mouse, which is about the point where human height is slightly equal to the body length of a mouse.
That's because mouse-sized humans have lost the ability to control most of the existing production tools, and have to face the embarrassing situation that their heads happen to be within the hunting range of cats, dogs and even mice.
This is the current situation.
Zhou You was currently lying on his side next to his cell phone.
He turned around and lay flat on his back, then moved his position until he was parallel to the phone, with his toes just under the chin of the phone.
He raised his hand to compare the position of his head and the phone, then maintained this position, stood up, and looked left and right.
Zhou You knew that the length of his mobile phone was a little over 16 centimeters.
Now my height is just slightly longer than the length of my mobile phone.
Shen Ling on the side did not learn to use her mobile phone to gesture from Zhou You.
She jumped up and ran to the right side of the windshield.
The measuring tape is right there.
She first put the tape measure down, and then tried to pull it out. She tried it, but it was not convenient, and the sharp edge when the tape measure automatically retracted made her feel a little scared.
"Here, help me. I'm lying flat on my back and you can measure my height."
Shen Ling shouted, then she lay down on her back and grabbed the side of the tape measure with her hands.
Zhou You ran over with his hands covering his crotch, squatted down next to her, covered his shame with his left hand, and tried to pull out the measuring tape with his right hand.
He tried to exert force, but the squatting and one-handed posture was really not convenient.
In addition, Shen Ling next to him also caused a lot of interference to him.
All this time, he really had no idea about Shen Ling. He just thought that this person was easy to get along with and quite reliable. He was a friend who could borrow money from her or lend her money.
But for the current situation, I am completely unprepared mentally.
Shen Ling next to him did not urge him, probably because she understood his slight struggle at this time.
However, the tension of traveling around did not last long.
He knows the priorities of things and what emergency evacuation means.
Whoosh!
He pulled out the measuring tape.
…
Five minutes later.
"My current height is a little over 23 centimeters, and you are a little over 22.2 centimeters. It's exactly as we speculated before. This height is really the same as the body length of a big mouse." Zhou You said while taking the sunglasses case he just took out. The mirror cloth pulled out of the clothes was wrapped around his waist.
Shen Ling also had a mirror cloth in her hand, which she wrapped around her body like a bath towel. It was slightly shorter, revealing a pair of long legs.
But she tried to take two steps and fell straight down again, which was very annoying.
"As you said, this is the worst possible outcome." Shen Ling pondered, "Then do you think we will continue to get smaller?"
Zhou You did not answer in a hurry, but shook off all the dust on his body first, and then observed for a while before saying: "It shouldn't be the case. The previous coma seemed like a mutation, and this time it was supernatural. The last piece of the puzzle of the phenomenon. It would be great if we had a laboratory now. At least we could take a piece of skin from ourselves and see whether the cells have become smaller or reduced. In this way, we can get the answers to many questions. ."
Shen Ling opened the information APP again and said: "Don't worry, you can still access the Internet now. Look at these news headlines, the country has been mobilized, and there are reports all over the sky. It won't be long before there will be some scientific conclusions."
Zhou You hummed, "Right now, I just hope they can figure out more things before the power and network are cut off."
Shen Ling swiped the screen with her hand again, "Look, there is also a survival guide here. It should be the work of many experts. It gives many survival plans and some guidance on available tools."
Zhou You shook his head, "It's hard to say how many experts have worked hard on this, but it has no practical significance to us. Now everyone is blind and has to feel for the stones to cross the river. Everyone has a different situation. I believe that the book It’s better to have no books.”
"We will adapt accordingly. Okay, now you and I have ten minutes of free time. Contact your family members quickly and ask them about their settlement situation. Then we have to continue setting off."
"good!"
Ten minutes later, although both of them still had a lot to say, they both cut off the communication in time.
Zhou You: "There are still 43 kilometers away from my community, and there is still enough gas in the tank. The road ahead may be difficult. The closer to the city, the denser the traffic flow."
"There will probably be a lot of cars parked in the middle of the road ahead. It's 6:15 in the morning. Try to get home before 12 noon. If you have time, grab something to test your current physical fitness data, such as high jump and arm strength. Something like that.”
When Shen Ling heard this, she nodded, "It makes sense, I have to test it."
After saying that, she walked to the B-pillar of the car on the other side, then jumped hard and slapped her palm on the B-pillar.
Okay, the bath towel fell off.
"It's really troublesome." Shen Ling muttered and complained.
Then she stood up straight again and raised her right hand to touch the B-pillar.
Then she picked up the tape measure and dragged it to the side of the B-pillar. Based on the scale position in memory, she roughly measured the vertical take-off reach and standing reach.
Due to limited conditions, Shen Ling only made a preliminary estimate of her current vertical jump height of about 10 centimeters, which is slightly less than half of her height.
If converted to her previous height, it would be equivalent to a vertical jump of more than 80 centimeters.
This data is obviously abnormal.
Shen Ling had never measured her vertical jump before, but she knew that the vertical take-off 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 worked.
The bare metal weight of her mobile phone is 202 grams. Including the mobile phone case, it weighs about 210g. It is really easy to lift it.
Although it only lasted a few seconds, it was indeed carried on.
This surprised her.
Shen Ling hurriedly sat down next to Zhou You and said while doing mental calculations: "Our height has shrunk to one-seventh-and-fifth. It is initially estimated that the volume reduction ratio is about one-fourth. Assuming that the body density remains unchanged, then the weight It has also shrunk to 1/400."
"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! This is more than my weight. !Wait a minute, I have to think of a way to measure my own weight. I saw you had an electronic scale in your trunk earlier, so I'll go and weigh it."
After Shen Ling finished speaking, she jumped up, slid down the USB cable stuck with the tape quickly, slid onto the armrest box, ran back along the armrest box, jumped down, and then followed the two The man climbed up the steps he had built with wooden boxes and climbed into the back seat and got into the trunk.
Six or seven minutes later, Shen Ling returned to the dashboard, "I weighed myself, and my current weight is 235.5 grams, which is heavier than expected. But I still lifted a mobile phone that weighs the same as my weight just now. This is incredible. ."
Zhou You shook his head, "There is nothing more incredible than shrinking. Small animals should have relatively greater power. Just like cats, mice, and even more exaggerated, such as ants and other insects. We It has indeed become another species."
Shen Ling nodded thoughtfully, "That's true, but I think if you are alone and facing a wild cat, and you don't have anyone to take advantage of, humans are still no match."
Zhou You was about to nod, but his eyes suddenly focused on the road, "Wait a minute, something is wrong ahead!"
There are some words that really cannot be said casually.
At this time, the rising sun had already risen, and the field of vision was much wider than at night. There was a large truck parked in the middle of the road about two to three hundred meters ahead.
This large truck did not overturn, it just parked quietly on the side of the road.
On the roadside between the big goods and the wandering cross-country, there was a yellow-haired wild cat that looked very skinny lying there, its head swaying, and its mouth was on the ground as if it was chewing something.
Finally, the car drove next to the wild cat 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 movements and looked back at the passing car, but ignored it and continued to eat with its head down.
Zhou You and Shen Ling were silent, with inexplicable fear almost swallowing up their entire minds.
The two of them felt cold to the bones.
What was under the wild cat's mouth was not a mouse, but the lower half of a human body.
There wasn't much blood on the ground, just like a dead mouse.
About half a meter away in front of the wild cat was a naked woman.
A red blood mark extended from the woman's neck and flowed down the slope of the road for about three meters.
She only has so much blood left.
After a long time, Shen Ling nervously checked the car windows and sunroof, making sure they were closed tightly before saying, "Let's go."
Zhou You: "Yeah."
When he passed the large truck, Zhou You took another look.
The door of the large truck opened a small gap, just enough for a person of today's size to get out.
It seems that the driver inside was more experienced and persisted until he could no longer drive the car. He chose to stop the car decisively, and then stayed in the car for a while. The two of them cooperated with each other to open the car door with all their strength, and then tried to move forward on foot. Okay, who knew that as soon as I got out of the car, I ran into the real ecological destroyer, the natural enemy of all small animals, and the terminator of sparrows-the wild cat.
Nowadays, when a wild cat faces an unarmed person, it is like a tiger, and it is also a Siberian tiger.
