While keeping an eye on the ants' movements, Luo Xinglan pondered a solution in her mind.

This "miniaturized" anomaly lasts for 24 hours, and their pets are also affected...

How to deal with this ant, and possibly more creatures?

Running away isn't the solution; we need to find a way to solve the problem once and for all...

Oh, right!

Luo Xinglan suddenly thought of the "Outdoor Construction" skill.

The small wooden house is hard to be destroyed by other animals. Could we temporarily take shelter in the small wooden house?

Even if this skill is affected, the cabin is very durable, and the ants cannot destroy it in one go.

This gave them a chance to catch their breath.

At worst, if one cabin is destroyed, we can just build another one!

The more Luo Xinglan thought about it, the more she felt that this idea was feasible. She immediately opened her personal panel and clicked to build a wooden house.

Soon, the wooden house appeared in front of her.

After several nights of construction, her construction level has now been upgraded to level 4. The wooden house she built is no longer a matchbox, but a two-story villa with an area of ​​100 square meters.

As for durability, it is 2000 points!

Looking at the enormous villa in front of her, Luo Xinglan felt a surge of joy.

It seems that the "Outdoor Construction" skill has not been affected!

The houses that were built were the same size as before.

She immediately opened the door and invited everyone to take refuge in the villa for the time being.

Everyone saw the villa the moment it was completed and rushed over.

When Liu Hongtao came in, Luo Xinglan quickly closed the door. Ant followed him and wanted to come in, but was blocked by the door.

This knocked it unconscious.

It tried to come in again, but was blocked again.

Sun Zexia was proud: "Hey, are you dumbfounded? Weren't you very powerful just now? Come on, if you have the guts, come in. I'm standing right here, come on..."

The ants turned and crawled towards the gap between the door and the wall, trying to crawl in through the gap.

Zhou Yiran was a little worried: "Lanlan, it won't really crawl in through the crack, will it?"

Even in a villa built systematically, there will be many gaps in doors, windows, etc., and those gaps are large enough for ants to pass through.

Luo Xinglan watched the ant's every move and said firmly: "No, it can't get in."

Even if there are gaps, ants can't crawl in because she can set access permissions for the villa!

At the beginning, she did not give Sun Zexia permission, which resulted in him being unable to enter, and now the same is true for Ant.

The ants don't have the necessary permissions and can't enter the house at all!

Soon, the ant found the gap between the bottom of the door and the ground. It tried to crawl through the gap, but was blocked by an invisible barrier.

It was so anxious that it was spinning around in circles.

Seeing that the ants couldn't get in, Zhou Yiran and others breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone then began to look around the two-story villa.

Now that they've been shrunk, the tables and chairs in the villa look enormous, and that feeling... is quite novel.

Sun Zexia used his hands and feet to crawl onto the straw cushion on the ground. This cushion, which was not very big before, is now as big as a football field to him.

Sun Zexia said excitedly: "Hey, I never thought that one day I would become small! It would be quite interesting if it weren't for that annoying ant."

Jiang Mingze also climbed up. "Where are we sleeping tonight? I remember the bed is on the second floor, but with our current physical condition, climbing up to the second floor probably won't be so easy..."

The first floor of the villa is the dining room, and the second floor is the bedroom.

In the past, those short dozen or so steps were nothing, but now...

Those steps were like high mountains, becoming an insurmountable chasm for them.

It's really unpredictable.

Fortunately, this reduced abnormal state only lasts for 24 hours.

If this continues, even without the other survivors lifting a finger, the various animals alone will be enough to give them a hard time.

Ouyang Aotian pointed at the cushion beneath him and said, "I'll have to spend the night on this cushion. Anyway, there's enough space."

No one else had any objections.

The ants outside, finding they couldn't get in, quickly left.

Sun Zexia even ran to the door and crawled out through the crack. After watching for a while, he came back and said, "That ant is gone. It probably realized it couldn't do anything to us and had to slink away."

Ouyang Aotian: "Have you ever seen ants when you were a child?"

Sun Zexia: "Of course I have! I've even urinated on an ant nest... No, why are you asking?"

Ouyang Aotian: "When an ant finds food, does its leaving mean it's giving up on that food?"

Sun Zexia was stunned, a bad feeling welling up in his heart: "You mean, it went back to call for help?"

Ouyang Aotian remained silent, his expression speaking volumes.

Sun Zexia gasped: "Hiss! Does it think we are food?"

The thought of the swarms of ants coming soon made his back cold.

Although a two-story villa can keep out ants, it is still not very durable!

Ants are best at drilling, so once the villa's durability is gone, won't they become lambs to the slaughter?

"No, why is that ant so persistent in targeting us?"

Luo Xinglan: "It's the skill of the Frostland White Tiger."

Everyone looked at Luo Xinglan, not understanding what she meant.

Luo Xinglan explained, "The Frost Tiger also has a skill called 'King of the Frost,' which allows it to control various animals. I think it used both the abnormal status and the 'King of the Frost' skill on us before it died, which is why the ant kept biting us."

Sun Zexia was so angry that his teeth itched: "This cold land white tiger is too insidious!"

Jiang Ruobai: "So, not only will there be ants, but also cockroaches, rats, rabbits, wolves... they will all attack us."

Sun Zexia: “…”

They were already struggling to deal with just one ant; if a few more came, how could they possibly survive?

Everyone also realized the seriousness of the matter and looked solemn.

Luo Xinglan comforted everyone: "As long as we get through these 24 hours, everything will be fine. The two-story villa has 2000 durability points. Even if a wolf comes, it will take some time to destroy the villa, so don't worry too much."

Jiang Mingze: "Yeah, to be on the safe side, we should take turns on duty and keep a close eye on the durability of the villa. Once the durability drops below 200, we will report it to Sister Lan immediately!"

Each of them can see the durability of the villa and take turns on duty, which is the safest way.

His proposal was quickly approved by everyone.
