Finally feels a bit like the end of the world

No matter Shen Jiayi or Tom or anyone else, they cannot change a fact.

This world is full of malice towards miniature people, and due to their shrinking size, the Haiwei Group, which can know the news in advance and start laying out, has made sufficient preparations. Without the supplies and weapons of the Heiwei Mini Industry, survivors outside want to survive in a world full of danger, and awakeners with awakening abilities have an advantage.

Previously, on the 17th, they deliberately mixed up, but now they increasingly feel that the Jinrui Hotel is too eerie. When grouping operations, they have openly indicated that the Awakened Team should be the main force.

Tom's team is responsible for searching the yoga studio, which is relatively spacious. A large mirror allows them to see more clearly what a huge world they are in. Looking at their tiny companions in the mirror, the team members seemed to be watching a movie about Gulliver's journey to the world of giants.

Unfortunately, the Gulliver in the movie is themselves.

When the micro disaster occurred, these places were probably deserted, and this exploration was just to confirm if any survivors would come here for refuge.

Liu Lian was assigned to the relatively weaker Pasha team, without a useful sound radar. They could only cautiously march in the yoga studio, which was mostly covered with vines. The front horn loudly read, "Is anyone there? We are from the rescue team. If you hear us, please come out and we will take you to a safe shelter."

If there are survivors hidden here. Having witnessed the attacks of insects and beasts, they should be very eager to be rescued in order to return to the civilized world.

Unfortunately, the strange situation they encountered after arriving at the Jinrui Hotel continues today, and there are no survivors here.

At 11 noon, they returned to the campsite in the central hall. At this point, Pan Mingda's third team had already returned, and there was also no harvest.

Soon, the remaining two teams also returned, neither of them.

This is actually expected by everyone, after all, Zhang Tianhui mentioned that there is a mutated dog on the sixth floor. If it is true, then it is impossible for any survivors to coexist peacefully with it.

After resting for half an hour, the 17th divided out two teams and went to Building 1 and Building 2 respectively, gradually searching the upper floors, while he himself stayed behind with a portion of his troops at this camp.

Tom became the captain of the new Squad One, leading Zhao Xin's Shark Squad, Pasha Squad with 4 members, and 60 soldiers to explore Building 1.

On the 23rd, he led the 2nd team, including the Wild Wolf team, the Roasted Squid team, and 60 soldiers, to explore Building 2.

As for the 17th, they will be responsible for staying behind with the remaining 6 members of the Pasha team and the remaining 76 soldiers.

Originally, Liao Jinglei proposed to join Team One with Tom, but Tom refused. Of course, the reason is very positive. Kun's main ability is fire control, and with Liao Jinglei's ability increase, the efficiency of fire control will be higher. She can better play her role by following the second team.

This is indeed very positive, while the other side is that Tom really didn't figure out how to deal with such a proactive girl.

During the day, Tom and his team arrived at the safe stairwell leading to Building 1. For the convenience of going up and down, a canvas roll was used to build a slope, which was accompanied by an electric motor for dragging. After all, not all cars can travel on such steep slopes, and trucks transporting goods need electric motors to drag them up.

According to the arrangement on the 17th, these two teams need to send a car back to the campsite command center on the 6th floor every morning to report on the previous day's situation, in order to maintain contact and facilitate the dispatch of manpower support according to the situation on the 17th.

After climbing to the seventh floor of Building 1 and pushing open the safety door, Tom felt that something was wrong.

This seventh floor gives him a very different feeling from the first to sixth floors below, but he can't say where the difference is. The same house, the same marble floor corridor, is also a very standard hotel layout: a long corridor with suites on both sides.

Tom instructed the team to be cautious and instructed Liu Lian to activate the sound radar to ensure access to the surrounding situation. Then, based on the downloaded guest list, search for each room with registered guests.

People are reduced in their sleep, and most people are unable to open locked doors and escape from tightly guarded rooms, especially hotels. So when they arrived, Number 5 specifically selected two awakeners with the ability to transform wood. There is one of them in the Pasha team led by Tom.

What he needs to do is to make a small hole in the locked wooden door, and then send someone to drill in and unlock the door, allowing the team to enter.

The Jinrui Hotel has 418 large, luxurious, and regular suites. Apart from the rooms on the 2nd to 4th floors, Tom's team needs to open nearly 200 rooms. Although it may be a bit cumbersome, they currently have time to complete it with sufficient supplies and ammunition.

The first suite was empty, and when the second one was opened, they headed straight to the bedroom and found two sets of pajamas on the bed, which proves that the occupants of this room were already on the bed when the Miniature Cataclysm occurred.

"Oh, wearing this armor is really tiring. Anyway, there are no bugs, I really want to take it off." Ouyang Haotian grumbled and complained. Of course, he was just joking and didn't want to die like that.

Zhao Xin, who was walking on the side, stopped working. "You have a Jade Rabbit Type 3, which is lighter and more comfortable. The internal cushion is more breathable, and you feel tired after only running two sets. We, who wear Type 2, haven't even shouted yet. You are such a spoiled young lady."

The awakener of the Pasha team, who was responsible for guarding, nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, otherwise we'll change our armor so that you can cry out in good faith." His agreement caught the scolding of his captain Zhao Zijian, who gave him a fierce glare before he quickly shut up.

The Eighth Courtyard was very dissatisfied with Tom, Ouyang Haotian, and Liu Lian, the three airborne soldiers. Especially the captains of each team, they instilled various ideas of "not taking them to play" in their respective team members to some extent. Now that their subordinates actively approached, the captain naturally gave him a warning.

Ouyang Haotian didn't care about their hostility, anyway they couldn't do anything about him. Moreover, he was very proud of being able to touch Tom's light wearing Jade Rabbit type three, and immediately retorted, "Hey, I can't wear it for you. It's just your fat body that needs to be customized again. Two months have passed since it's been shipped over."

Zhao Xin stopped working and glanced at Liu Lian who was driving the radar in front of him. He whispered, "I'm slightly overweight, not overweight, not like Liu Lian."

"Weipang is also fat, eighty step smile... Ah... what is that?" Ouyang Haotian pointed to the wall lamp on the right side and exclaimed excitedly, "Flies, I've been here for so long, it's the first time I've seen a fly, haha."

Everyone followed their fingers and saw a huge green fly lying on the wall lamp. The fly also noticed them and turned around, flapping its wings and buzzing towards them.

Tom also noticed the situation, and it happened that the direction of the radar wave emitted by Liu Lian missed the wall lamp. He immediately ordered in a low voice, "Everyone retreat to the back of the car. Ouyang Haotian took off his helmet and let it come to find you."

Removing the helmet will make the odor on Ouyang Haotian's body stronger, which helps to attract the attention of flies.

Everyone immediately retreated, leaving Ouyang Haotian as bait to lure the fly to attack. Sure enough, amidst his discontented complaints, a large fly that appeared to be slightly larger than the size of the Jade Rabbit Type III armor pounced directly on him, knocking him down with a clanging sound. The licking mouthpiece flipped out, with sharp burrs, scraping up the breastplate of the Jade Rabbit Type III armor and making a piercing sound.

"Damn it... An Shitou, you..." Before Ouyang Haotian could finish complaining, Tom quickly rushed forward and slashed his big knife straight in his hand. As a result, the big fly reacted quickly and immediately flew up, avoiding the chopping.

As expected, Tom did not pursue and immediately ordered, "Shoot."

The soldiers opened fire one after another, hitting the still flying fly in mid air with blood splattering everywhere. Then it shook twice and fell with a thud on the wooden floor.

"Don't complain, your breastplate is made of tungsten steel. A mutated fly can't do anything about it. Wearing it so well, it will naturally act as a meat shield." Tom pulled him up satisfied.

Ouyang Haotian vigorously touched his chest armor a few times, and there were no scratches at all. However, he still refused to admit defeat and said, "What if it licks my head and you make me take off my helmet?"

Just now Tom ordered, and without careful consideration, he immediately executed it. Now, recalling the abnormal mouthparts of the mutated fly still makes me feel uneasy.

"Your head is too small, in its eyes, your chest is still a bit larger."

"Hey, your chest is big."

Ouyang Haotian's rebuttal caused a burst of laughter from the other soldiers.

At this moment, Liu Lian loudly warned, "In the direction of the toilet, the quantity exceeds thirty."

Everyone immediately turned around, only hearing a dense buzzing sound, and then saw a dense black shadow rushing towards them.

"There are so many flies left!"

"They flew over."

Tom immediately came to the front and ordered, "Armor front, everyone else back, free to fire."

The first fly has a larger head, while the others are smaller, but both are half the size of a human body, so aiming a firearm is not too difficult. On the contrary, the bullets are too small in size and fast in speed. Even if the body hair of the fly can sense changes in air flow, it still cannot capture them, so none of them can avoid the shooting trajectory. The first dozen or so flies were killed and fell as soon as they approached.

The pressure accumulated by the team members for a whole day was all released on this group of unwelcome guests, and more than half of the flies were shot down before approaching the armor of the awakened. The remaining ones pounced on the armor of the seven Awakened Ones before realizing that their mutated new mouthparts couldn't resist these iron knots. Then the awakened ones grabbed and tore off their wings, legs, or heads one by one.

This is the advantage of having armor, of course, there are also some who pounce on ordinary soldiers behind them. The spiky licking mouthpiece leaves terrifying scratches on the thin layer of armor, which makes the soldiers look pale.

Fortunately, there were no casualties in the end, except for one soldier who was licked too disgustingly and ran away in fear, twisting his foot.

The long-awaited battle began, and the soldiers once again envied the Awakened One who could wear thick alloy armor.

But they can only wear relatively lightweight composite fiber materials or armor made from soft shells of mutated insects. Because people have become smaller, their load-bearing capacity has also significantly decreased. The burden of alloy armor on soldiers is still too heavy, and hanging it on them will affect their flexibility, making it impossible to carry bullets and other equipment.

Only awakened individuals with increased speed and strength can withstand heavy alloy armor, thanks to Tom's contribution of the awakened armor blueprint. However, even though the awakened members of the Eighth Courtyard knew about this matter, they still intentionally or unintentionally ignored this contribution and kept treating Tom as a paratrooper through the back door.
