Chapter 29: The Deadly Chase
Nan Zhiqiao pulled Da Zhuang up, pushed Da Zhuang to the side of the minecart, and shouted, "Hurry up!"
Da Zhuang's left foot was bitten by the Rat King, and blood flowed down the trouser leg, but when he thought of the scene where Erhe was divided by the Rat King and only his head was left, he still endured the severe pain and half-ran and half-crawled through the side of the minecart.
Nan Zhi Qiao fell last, and the White Rat King quickly chased after the minecart and jumped to pounce on Nan Zhi Qiao.
In a hurry, Nan Zhiqiao held the gas lamp in one hand, pulled out the dagger tied to the side of his calf with the other, and when the rat king jumped up, he leaned over and slashed the dagger in the abdomen of the rat king.
The white fur was hard and thick, and the sharp dagger left a red blood stain on the rat king's abdomen, which did not hurt the vital point and was not fatal.
The rat king was injured after failing to strike, his red eyes staring at the human in front of him who had hurt him, with anger, and a "squeak" of intimidation in his throat.
Nan Zhiqiao leaned back against the minecart, held a dagger in his hand, faced the Rat King facing him head-on, and said with a sneer: "Big white rat, although you are big, but humans are the ones at the top of the food chain, if you want to eat us, you can use whatever you can." ”
The White Rat King didn't know whether he understood Nan Zhiqiao's words, or was shocked by Nan Zhiqiao's momentum, and stayed in place for two seconds, the pain of the wound under his abdomen made the White Rat King go crazy again, his feet left the ground, and he pounced towards Nan Zhiqiao, and the sharp white teeth hit Nan Zhiqiao's head.
Nan Zhi Qiao jumped up with both feet, jumped on the minecart, and at the moment when the White Rat King was close, Nan Zhi Qiao jumped up again, and the weight of his body fell on the dagger in his hand, and the dagger was inserted into the red lantern-like left eyeball of the White Rat King in the dark.
One of the rat king's eyes was pierced blind by a dagger, and he let out a terrible roar, and in the roar, a dense "squeak" sound came from the depths of the tunnel.
"Oh no, the rat king has summoned a swarm of rats. ”
A rat king is so difficult to deal with, if the white rats in the white bone corpse pit are all here, everyone will definitely be gnawed to the bones.
After Nan Zhiqiao poked the blind rat king in one eye, he didn't like to fight, and jumped from the roof of the minecart with a gas lamp, and ran towards the outside of the road.
There was a faint light in front of the corridor, which was not a flame of gas lamps, but a soft natural light, and the entrance to the outside world was just in front of it.
The exit is in front, but the rats chasing after it are even closer, and Nan Zhiqiao can smell the urine smell of the rats.
Ye Zhenzhen carried the sampling box, carrying the gas lamp and ran in the front, the closer to the exit, the more uneasy Ye Zhenzhen's heart became, and when she looked back, the tide of white rats followed closely behind Nan Zhiqiao, only five or six steps away in the middle, the speed of the rat group was extremely fast, if she continued like this, before she ran out of the hole, Nan Zhiqiao would be swallowed by the angry white rat group.
Ye Zhenzhen's feet were racing, her head was running quickly, thinking of a solution, and the white lead next to the railroad tracks continued to stretch outwards along the road...... That's right, explosives, use it against the rat swarm, once and for all.
Ye Zhenzhen stopped, and used the gas lamp in her hand to ignite the white lead next to the railroad track, the lead was ignited instantly, and the white sparks spread rapidly along the wire to both ends, Ye Zhenzhen shouted: "Everyone run, the explosives will be detonated, and the cave will be blown up in a while, run!"
The policeman Xiao Wang carried the village chief on his back, panting, passing by Ye Zhenzhen's side, he didn't care about speaking, his legs were like a whirlwind, and he really ran out.
Followed by the villagers who were injured in the legs, vigorously and Da Zhuang, limped forward, although their legs were a little lame, but at this time of life and death, the speed of the two was not slow at all, and they followed closely behind the policeman Xiao Wang, and when they passed by Ye Zhenzhen's side, Da Zhuang did not forget to ask, "Why don't you leave, the rats are about to rush over." ”
"I'm going to pick up Senior Nan. ”
Ye Zhenzhen stood in place, watching the rat swarm behind Nan Zhiqiao getting closer and closer, and shouted, "Senior Nan, use the gas lamp." ”
Hearing Ye Zhenzhen's reminder, Nan Zhiqiao threw the gas lamp in his hand to the rat group behind him, the rat group was afraid of fire, and the speed slowed down slightly, but the number of rats was too large, and the body of a few white rats could extinguish the gas lamp, and the tide of rats followed.
Nan Zhiqiao saw Ye Zhenzhen stop in front, and shouted anxiously: "Zhenzhen, run, I can catch up with you." ”
After the pursuit of the rats, the cave that was about to be blown up by explosives soon, Ye Zhenzhen ran up again, and soon it was only ten meters away from the entrance of the cave, and the bright light at the entrance of the cave could already illuminate the road under her feet.
Nan Zhiqiao ran to Ye Zhenzhen's side and grabbed the gas lamp in Zhenzhen's hand, "Give it to me." ”
Ye Zhenzhen let go, and Nan Zhiqiao threw the gas lamp into the rat group behind him, and the speed of the rat group slowed down significantly.
Ye Zhenzhen shouted as she ran: "The gas lamp has worked." ”
"Not only gas lamps, but rats are also afraid of natural light. ”
Before Nan Zhiqiao's words fell, Ye Zhenzhen heard a loud bang in her ears, and stones fell on the top of the road, and the ground under her feet shook violently.
"The explosives were detonated. The reason for the shaking of the earth flashed through Ye Zhenzhen's mind.
The two ran to the entrance of the cave, and the hot waves behind them rushed the two out of the hole, and the dazzling light from the outside world made people close their eyes in stress, Ye Zhenzhen subconsciously protected the sampling box in her hand, and Nan Zhiqiao protected Ye Zhenzhen in front of her.
In the explosion, the two men lost consciousness.
——
When Ye Zhenzhen woke up and opened her eyes, she saw white sheets and quilts, the sun shining in through the window, and she was in a single ward, with strange doctors and nurses coming in and out of the ward, bowing their heads and whispering from time to time.
Ye Zhenzhen struggled to sit up from the hospital bed, there was a pain on the back of her right hand, she looked down, half of her palm was wrapped in gauze, Ye Zhenzhen remembered that before she fell unconscious, she used this hand to protect the sampling box......
A little nurse saw Ye Zhenzhen wake up, hurriedly walked to the bed, and asked softly, "Are you awake, how do you feel?"
Ye Zhenzhen's mind is now full of the situation in the ghost cave of the Turret Mountain, and the Qiao of the South in the explosion stood up to protect herself, they don't know what happened?
Ye Zhenzhen grabbed the little nurse and asked anxiously: "What about the people who are with me? Are they okay? There is also that sampling box, which contains infectious strains, which cannot be opened at will without a professional laboratory and professionals." ”
The little nurse was a little dazed by Ye Zhenzhen's question, but she still heard a rough idea, the patient in front of her was concerned about the situation of her friends, the little nurse pointed to the bedside table next to Ye Zhenzhen's bed, and said, "This morning, another tall, thin and handsome man came to see you, and he left you a note." ”
Ye Zhenzhen let go of the little nurse, picked up the note on the bedside table, and the chic and familiar font came into her eyes, and the note was written concisely and clearly, "Zhenzhen, I will go to the CDC in City B to deal with the aftermath of this epidemic first, you rest in the hospital and come to see you at night." ”
The note is signed "Nan no Joe".
