XVIII. Mutant Rats, End (Apocalyptic World)
The team they are in is the first team, that is, they are in front of the whole team and are responsible for exploring the basic situation in the granary, so most of the people in the team are attack-based abilities.
The first team was the first to step into the granary, and everyone was very nervous because it was an unknown environment. When you are nervous, it is easier to think crankily, especially after knowing that there is likely to be a large group of rats in the granary, but if you accidentally touch something, a large group of rats suddenly pops out.
It is said that ants bite elephants to death, and a large swarm of rats is the same for them. Therefore, their team spontaneously formed a group of several people to walk together, and the distance between the groups was not far away, just to ensure that others could help in time in case of any danger.
"Yiyi, you said there was a rat's nest in the granary. It's really fake, and there's mutant rats in there. This..... Isn't it dangerous? At this time, because she entered the granary, Su Ma became very nervous and afraid. She didn't dare to intervene when she heard Yiyi and the team leader talk about it, and when she returned to their team, the news had already been passed down, and everyone was prepared to defend.
She didn't have a chance to ask Yiyi just now, and she didn't find a chance to ask until she was a little away from everyone now. But she herself didn't know if she was asking to comfort Yiyi or to make herself quickly accept the fact.
And this rat is not very easy to fight, it jumps very fast. People are running after mice, and that picture ..... Besides, it only said that there are rat nests, but I don't know how many rats there are. If it's a small number of rats, it's fine, but if it's a large number of rats, it's hard to say who catches whom. There are so many rats, it's not good to be bitten by a mouse.
"It's true, but it's all in one corner, and if we don't get too close, it should be fine. We can't leave because of the rat swarm, so let's just be mentally prepared and pay more attention. "Although there are a large number of rats in the rat colony, they are mostly concentrated in a corner of the granary, so there should be no problem. When approaching the edge of that range, Yiyi will use Xiaoxiao as an excuse again to prevent others from going that way, whether it is better to avoid a trouble or avoid a trouble.
Originally, everything went smoothly, but the team did not go to the corner where the rat nest was located due to Yiyi's organization, and they also controlled and lightened their pace when passing by.
But the accident still happened, just when everyone had already carried the food and loaded it into the space of the space powerhouse, ready to return.
As the team prepared to leave the granary and return to the base to count the number of people, they found that one person was missing. However, there were not many zombies encountered by their entire team in the granary, and every time they encountered them, they would turn into scum under the attack of a group of people, and the rats only encountered a few scattered ones. So they went smoothly and there were no casualties, so it would be strange that there was one less person.
Yiyi knew that this person was Li Liyin, and after verification by the team, it was confirmed that the person who was less was Li Liyin.
And what about Li Liyin at this time? She was walking alone to the corner of the warehouse where the team had prevented her from entering. Since she knew in advance that the purpose of the mission was to go to the granary to carry grain back to the base, she deliberately emptied the space, planning to secretly put some grain into the space after arriving at the granary.
But what she didn't expect was that the team guessed that there was a group of mutant rats in the granary, so they asked several of them to explore and carry food in the granary in groups, so she never found a chance to collect food. And now that the granary has been explored, there is no danger, and there may not be a mutant rat colony in that corner, but there is indeed a rat colony, and I believe that it should be okay to be careful.
There are two people who have awakened the ability in the Li family, so one person needs to participate in the mission. Father Dawn awakened the speed ability, she awakened the water ability, but she didn't have the awakening ability in her previous life, and she felt that God should compensate her. When she registered, she hid the fact that she had space, so she thought that she would collect the food into the space.
But it didn't take long for her to regret the idea. Because she had just touched the corner and just opened the door to collect the grain, she found that the place behind the door that should have been a pile of rice had turned into a black patch. A mouse near the door looked back and barked, and then the rats followed. Some of these mice were apparently three or four times the size of the others.
Li Liyin's brain instantly froze when she saw everything in front of her, and then seemed to react and let out a scream. The loud scream in the silent granary directly attracted the attention of the rats in front of her, and it became a commotion. The team outside the granary also heard the scream, and knowing that the missing man was still in the granary, they planned to send one or two people to the place where the screaming was coming from to find out what was happening.
But they were stopped by Yiyi again, because not only could they not save Li Liyin in the past, but they would probably lose everyone. She told the captain of the team to evacuate the team directly and return to the base, because the rats were awakened.
Yiyi said this, the captain also understood what was going on, it may be that the young person planned to go to that corner to steal the supplies, and as a result, the rats woke up. And in the past few seconds, the screams have become louder and louder, and the ground is trembling slightly, and the cries of many rats can be heard. Hearing that this was a lot, the captain immediately ordered the team to retreat at full speed without saying a word.
As for Li Liyin, she can only say that she deserves it, and she is greedy to cause trouble. At this time, Li Liyin went from the initial regret when she saw the rat swarm to the current despair, she felt that her whole body was in pain, and she was buried and gnawed by the rats. She regretted that she hadn't practiced the water ability that she had awakened so hard, and that she shouldn't have washed and dressed up with condensed water every day, otherwise she wouldn't have had no attack power and didn't give herself some buffer time.
But she has no chance to regret it, because her consciousness has slowly disappeared, and before the last bit of consciousness disappears, she is endlessly unwilling, and she is even inferior to her previous life, at least she has no worries about food and clothing in her previous life, and she has not had these pains before death.
At the same time, a system notification rang in Li Liyun's ears.
[Objective: Li Liyin (Death)]
"System, did I complete the task or not?"
"It's done, you took the bracelet back and didn't fall into Li Liyin's hands, but the additional task to reveal her true face was not completed."
"Then there will be fewer tasks when the task is settled. Forget it, just complete the task. It's just a pity, I was going to get back the bracelet I gave her before I went back to the base. ”
The convoy was heading in the direction of the base, leaving the granary little by little. Yiyi glanced back in the direction where the rat colony was, and her eyes were calm.
She has that strength, why didn't she save Li Liyin, just watching her being bitten to death by a swarm of rats like this? Because there is no need, this is her own self-inflicted, and she is the target of the tasker, and she should not be reborn in the first place. She couldn't interfere anymore, she had already told the granary in advance that there was a swarm of mutant rats in the granary, which had changed the fate of many people. And Li Liyin's death was just ahead of schedule, but what remains unchanged is that she was also killed by herself.
After returning to the base, Li's father met the Meng family by chance, and happened to learn that Li Liyun was also in the base, so he went to the door to find Li Liyun several times to ask for food for the elderly, but the Meng family turned them away. He felt humiliated after being rejected several times, and he didn't come back after holding on to his temper. However, Li Liyun still gave some food as a complete severance with the Li family, which was still for the sake of not harming her in his life.
——————
Time passed little by little, and some bases were breached by zombies for decades, and some bases survived zombie sieges again and again. The number of zombies has also decreased, but the surviving humans have also suffered casualties in battle after battle. The world seems to have slowly become a world of animals and plants, but the end of the world can be said to have passed. This is because although the existing animals and plants have attack power, they do not actively attack humans. Humans have slowly found a way to survive and have begun to restore civilization.
Yiyi left this world after the death of Su's father and Su's mother, and is ready to go back to the space to play for a while before starting the next trip.
