The gray-brown mutant rat was huge and fat, conservatively estimated to be no less than two meters long. The mouse's eyes were blood-red, its fur was shiny, and its long front teeth were sticking out of its mouth, sharp and terrifying, glowing with a faint red light.

At this moment, it stood up, its long beard trembling slightly, its nose buzzing, searching the air for the breath of Sim Xue and Taoer.

This rodent, which was known for its reproductive ability before the end of the world, even after the end of the world, was infected by radiation and became larger, but it still could not escape the fate of everyone shouting and beating, and became the main source of meat on the table of the mixed race.

Therefore, even if they have a huge size, if it is not a matter of life and death, otherwise they often choose to turn around and run away when they confront humans.

But this big rat didn't know if it was because he had eaten people, but instead of being afraid of Si Moxue and the others, he chased after them according to the smell. It wasn't until the two of them ran into the ruins of the old world, hiding around through the collapsed buildings, that they barely got a respite.

Si Moxue and Tao Er were separated when they fled into the ruins of the city, and now Si Moxue is hiding behind the wreckage of the building alone.

The mutant giant rat's nose sniffed left and right, and slowly crawled towards Si Moxue's hiding place.

Si Moxue clenched the knife in her hand—the firearm she had gotten from the Colosseum security had run out of ammunition in the initial pursuit.

One step further, the mutant rat could see the ruins where Sim Xue was hiding.

"Wow-"

Suddenly there was a sound of gravel sliding from behind the mutant giant rat, it raised its head, sniffed in the air, and decisively turned around and ran in the direction from which the sound came.

It must be Thor, what's wrong with her?

Si Moxue was shocked when she heard this, jumped out of the ruins, followed the mutant giant rat from a distance, and came to the vicinity of a hole in the ground.

Sure enough, it was Todder, and while she was weaving through the ruins to avoid the mutant giant rat, she stepped into the air and fell into the basement of a certain building.

The original exit from the basement has been sealed off by the wreckage of the building, and outside the hole where Doll fell, the mutant giant rat is eyeing it.

Si Moxue didn't dare to rush forward, hiding behind a broken wall, looking at the mutant giant rat from a distance.

The giant rat circled around the hole, shoving its head into the hole from time to time, trying to get into the basement with all the strength of its hands and feet

However, the giant rat's head is too fat, the basement is too deep, and Dol is hiding in the corner, and the mutant rat will not be able to reach her for a while.

After several repeated attempts, the giant rat realized that he really couldn't catch Todd, so he simply stopped his movements and stared at the hole, as if thinking about something.

After a few moments, the mutant rat moved again, not in circles around the hole, but digging into it.

Rats are naturally good at burrowing, even after mutating.

Only the sound of claws rubbing against the cement was heard, and the debris was thrown behind the mutant rats, and the narrow hole where Doll fell was dug open.

Seeing that the hole is getting bigger and bigger, after a while, the mutant rat will be able to burrow through the hole dug out. At that point, in the basement where there was nowhere to hide, Dore couldn't escape.

Si Moxue didn't wait and see, taking advantage of the fact that the giant rat's attention was digging holes, holding a short blade in his hand, and attacking decisively.

Si Moxue's sprint mobilized the strength of his whole body. She thought she was fast enough that the rat shouldn't have time to dodge, but the moment she stabbed the rat in the eye, the rat tilted its head and dodged the knife.

Although it avoided the vital point, the giant rat's long beard was cut off by Si Moxue and fell to the ground.

"Squeak!" The giant rat with its beard cut off let out an angry cry and turned over and pounced on Si Moxue.

Seeing that the blow missed, Si Moxue turned around and ran.

After running dozens of meters, she was surprised to find that the mutant giant rat had not caught up.

What's going on?

With doubts, Si Moxue returned to the cave with light feet.

The giant rat, whose beard had been cut in half, kept touching its head with its hands near the entrance of the cave, and at the same time spun in circles, completely noticing Sim Xue who was tiptoeing closer

Si Moxue held her breath and slowly stepped forward.

"Squeak-" The mutant giant rat instantly stopped its movements, opened its big mouth and pounced in the direction where Si Moxue was.

Si Moxue was startled, exerted force under her feet again, and ran away into the distance.

Just like last time, the giant rat stopped after chasing a certain distance, touched his face with both hands, and circled in a blank circle.

Si Moxue knows that mice are born with "myopic eyes", and tentacles are "guide sticks". The mutant giant rat was apparently extremely eyesighted, and could have relied on its whiskers to run and chase along the ruins. But it was now shaved off by Sim Xue, and it was impossible to discern its direction.

Si Moxue came to a conclusion and approached the giant rat again, but when the giant rat found out where she was, she quickly turned and ran. Relying on her speed comparable to that of a cheetah hybrid, and repeating this back and forth several times, Sim Xue successfully lured the mutant giant rat away from the hole.

Dore, who was hiding in the corner of the basement, saw the giant rat leaving, and took the opportunity to pile up the remaining items in the basement into a "ladder", and then successfully climbed out of the hole by stepping on the "ladder".

As soon as she crawled out, she saw Si Moxue walking mice around the ruins.

"What's going on?" Dol carefully avoided the range of movement of the mutant giant rat, made a big circle, and came to Si Moxue's side.

"I cut off its beard, and it shouldn't be able to tell the way now." Sim Moxue pulled Dol and carefully hid under a rubble.

"But the rat's nose is so clever that when I get close to it, it can smell where I am." The problem that the snow slopes appear to be facing.

"Smell the location?" Doll repeated, her head lowered and her brow in thought. Then, as if she had seen something, she pulled the corner of Smers's coat and said, "Then we just wouldn't let him smell where we are." ”

Si Moxue hid behind a broken wall to observe the movements of the mutant giant rat, and when she heard this, she asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

Doll didn't answer, pulled out a handful of weeds from the cracks in the ruins, and crumpled them in the palm of her hand. As the yellow-green grass juice was squeezed out, a rich, pungent smell wafted out.

This is a common weed in the wasteland, and the smell is not noticeable on weekdays. However, once broken, a kind of juice will ooze, giving off a rotten stench that is disgusting. This grass is used as a means to prevent animals from ingesting.

Suddenly smelling the pungent rancid smell, Doll couldn't help but retched a few times in disgust, but after vomiting, she still kept smearing the squeezed grass juice on herself and Sim Xuexue's bodies.

"That way, the mutant rats won't be able to smell where we are."

After the grass juice was applied to the body, it was blown by the wind, and the rancid smell was much lighter, and it was no different from the weeds in the wasteland.

Smoxue and Doll stepped forward again.

This time, the mutant giant rats really didn't smell their location.

Although it tilted its head frequently at the sudden appearance of the shadows in front of it, the smell of the two shadows was no different from the weeds it smelled every day, and it was momentarily unsure whether to attack.

But Sim Moxue and Dol will not hesitate.

While the mutant giant rat was still hesitating, the two of them rushed forward one by one, grabbed the fur on the back of the mouse's neck, and slashed at its throat with a knife.

Fishy blood splattered out, and the mutant giant rat threw its head back and let out a terrible scream. It twisted and struggled to bite the two men hiding behind it.

But Smoxue and Doll grabbed its neck, changing positions flexibly with its movements, always staying out of the range of the mutant giant rat's bite.

I don't know how long it struggled, but the mutant giant rat finally lost blood and lay on its back on the ground, its chest rising and falling weakly, and the fur in front of it was dyed a layer of dark red.

Gradually, the slight heaving of the mutant rat's chest stopped.

Si Moxue cut off the head and tail of the giant rat and put it away, as for its body, the wasteland is full of predators, and within half a day, the meat eaters who follow the smell of blood will eat the corpse. These very patient gourmets chew even the bones and swallow them.
