"Hey......"

Looking at Lin Cheng with an unbelieving face, the old man couldn't help but sigh, "Forgot what I just said?" Discipline! These rats are extremely disciplined, and this time of day is the time of day when they gather and converge, and at this time, no matter what these rats are doing or what they encounter, they must immediately put down what they are doing and rush to the central square of the city to meet! So don't say it's you at this point, even if a huge piece of cheese is placed in front of them, they won't look at it, understand?! ”

"This ...... Really? ”

After listening to the old man's explanation, Lin Cheng was suddenly shocked, the biggest difference between people and things is the restraint of **, even if a person faces the temptation to fight again, as long as it may threaten his life safety, then he will definitely think twice when doing this, but animals will not think so much, even if they have suffered countless losses, as long as the other party changes some routines slightly, these animals will easily take the bait again.

But the behavior of these giant rats has completely broken this rule, Xiaolin Cheng has heard a lot of stories about rats stealing food, some drowned in the oil tank, and some were tricked into rubber shoes and fell to death, so he has always thought that rats are extremely greedy and obscene, but the group of rats he met today suddenly made him realize that when animals have an IQ comparable to that of humans, then in addition to the difference in size, what they do is not much more stupid than humans!

"Got it?"

Looking at the thoughtfulness on Lin Cheng's face, the old man said with a wry smile: "The reason why I want to drag you in is because the batch of rats that just passed is already the last batch, if I don't drag you in again, when they disband and come back, it will be when you die!" In the process of evolution, these rats have improved by leaps and bounds in both their sense of smell and hearing, so even if I am injured when I drag you in, I must close the secret door and not make any sound, otherwise once they perceive our existence, then let alone this stone secret door, even a secret door made of steel will be washed away by the army of giant rats, and then the two of us will wait to be gnawed clean of all the flesh and skin, and then the two of us will wait for the corpse wilderness after all the skin and flesh are gnawed! ”

“…… Is it so scary? ”

Listening to the old man say that the consequences were so serious, Lin Cheng didn't believe it, he had seen too many powerful monsters and mutant beasts, and he had fought countless people, and he had never seen any existence that could peel his skin and cramp.

"Yes!"

Seeing Lin Cheng's indifference, the old man's expression suddenly changed, "I don't know how powerful you are, but since you can reach this city over such a long distance, then you must not be a simple character." But, have you ever wondered about a question? These rats, who have not encountered any natural enemies since the end of the world, have awakened how many powerful characters have awakened in them under the unrestrained self-evolution? Like just now, before I caught you in, I must have been looking for the holes that those giant rats had drilled out, right? I'm telling you, this hole exists, and it's in the corridor outside, but you can't find it! Because this hole has long been sealed by the rats with illusion abilities in the rat colony, unless it takes the initiative to lift it, let alone you and me, even those of its kind don't want to find where to open the door! ”

Speaking of which, the old man may have said too much in one breath and was a little thirsty, "Goo" "Goo" poured another large glass of water and continued: "And this is just one of the giant rats that has awakened their abilities!" I don't know exactly how many rats there are in the city, but I estimate there must be hundreds of thousands! With such a large 'rat army', how many legs do you think you have to escape once you get the attention of these guys, and how much ability do you have to fight your way out of these rat armies? ”

“…… All right. ”

As the old man's tone became more and more serious, Lin Cheng finally realized the seriousness of the problem, and now he finally understood what this old man who seemed to have good strength was afraid of, he could not look at one or two mutant rats, and even ten or twenty of them could be killed with all their efforts, but what if it was two hundred or two thousand?

Quantitative change causes qualitative change, this sentence may not be applicable to all situations, but it is definitely applicable to the current situation, under the attack of the endless mutant rat army, let alone this old man, even Lin Cheng himself is not confident that he will be able to escape!

"So you did save my life."

Thinking of what he did when he first arrived in this city, Lin Cheng couldn't help but feel a cold sweat on his back, he didn't dare to imagine what kind of consequences he would have if he made a bigger move, after all, the old man just said that the ** array arranged by a giant rat with illusion ability can make him struggle to find the location of the rat hole, so if they really attracted the attention of the rat group early, then God knows where he would be now, or maybe he would still be there......

Shaking his head slightly, the old man said with a nonchalant expression: "It's not about saving or not, the reason why I risked pulling you in here, although it also means to save your life, but more importantly, once you start a war with those rats who found you in the corridor outside, then my secret room is also very likely to be exposed in your battle, and I will regret it too late by then......"

"Heh......"

Listening to what this old man said, Lin Cheng had a good impression of this guy, because even if he really had a conflict with those rats, it was impossible for him to stay in this narrow space and put himself at a disadvantage all the time, so no matter how much he fought with the rats, it was unlikely that it would affect the other party, but since this old man could survive alone in this dead city full of mutant rats for so long, then he should be so cautious.

"Since you dare to speak now, does that mean that the group of rats has finished their meeting, and now they have gone back to their respective homes to find their own mothers?"

Since the old man was unwilling to talk more about whether to save or not, Lin Cheng was not reluctant, and directly changed the topic.

“…… Not necessarily. ”

Frowning and thinking for a moment, the old man shook his head and said, "If such a large number of rats want to survive and even evolve, the food they need is huge!" In fact, there are cruel survival rules between this group of rats, after each meeting, most of these rats need to look for prey, and once two or even three or four groups of rats are eyeing the same prey, then it will definitely lead to a fierce fight! And now is the time for them to search for their prey, and as long as we don't make too much trouble, we won't easily attract their attention. ”
