The mouse's fears eventually came true. bubble-book_bar()

While it was still squeezing out, several other rats had overtaken it and were speeding towards the two of them like running calves.

"Work harder, and you'll be soon."

Culomb knew that people like Jack who had come out of an underground shelter had very little experience with this kind of crisis, so he spoke out to encourage him. But the brain's most intuitive judgment is that before the rats rush in and tear the two to pieces, the cabinet can be pushed into place at most, and the time to go up is not enough.

In an instant, Coulomb had a plan in his mind that he didn't want to, but that was absolutely feasible. In this day and age, many times it is the sacrifice of some that allows others to survive. So, following this rule, it is better for one person to die than for both.

When the cabinet was pushed to a position where he could barely use it to reach the second floor, Coulomb finally made up his mind to carry out his simple but straightforward plan - to send a pile of food to the rats so that the other pile would have time to escape.

But...... With a loud bang, the iron cabinet was overturned to the ground. Looking at the pile of bulging cement blocks that were stuck in the iron cabinet, Coulomb's mind went blank.

The rat that had rushed to the room first slammed into the door frame because it was not in a hurry, and continued to rush towards Coulomb in the lead with a few scattered bricks.

When approaching Coulomb's position of only about three meters, the mouse suddenly jumped into the air, and two front teeth that looked like kitchen knives bit down on Coulomb's head from top to bottom.

The smell of the rat's mouth made Culomb think not of how painful he would die, but what the rat had eaten before to make its mouth stink to this extent.

Smack-

The next moment, Coulomb knew the answer.

Taking advantage of its leap, Jack's steel pipe stabbed straight into the mouse's fragile stomach. It is said that fragility is only relative to the other parts of the mouse's body, even if it is poked straight up, and the mouse's own strength is borrowed, this time it still fails to penetrate the mouse's body. Just let it vomit the contents of its stomach all at once, and roll on the ground in pain.

The iron cabinet that the two of them had pushed with all their might was knocked out of place by the mouse in the tumbling of the rat.

"Fight."

Jack had only said two words in a hurry, and the second mouse had already rushed over. With the first encounter, the mouse learned its lesson and did not jump again, but directly bit Jack's arm.

Jack took advantage of the situation to pull back the steel pipe with his backhand and hit the rat on the head. But this one didn't feel like it hit a living creature at all, it felt like it hit a thick stack of rags. The mouse that had been hit just shook its head and recovered, and continued to bite Jack with its mouth open.

Seeing that there was no hurry to dodge, a bright light flashed. The mouse's pointed beak was only a bit of flesh attached to its head.

Coulomb looked at the sharp boning knife in his hand and was stunned, and then he swung it in a mess and completely hacked the mouthless mouse to death. But there was no hurry for him to continue to use this powerful weapon to hack to death the rats that Jack had poked over, and the other rats had already rushed up, this time not one, but five.

The clever rat had already realized that the two humans were not as easy to deal with as they were, so they paused for a few seconds to rally their attacks.

Even though the number was far overwhelming, the rats did not rush to attack, but slowly swam in a situation of encirclement.

Jack yelled, "Can't wait, rush out to the door." ”

"Nope." Coulomb swung his knife and pushed back a tentative rat and glanced out, "Rush out and die faster." ”

Jack also glanced out the door, and then the blood that had just boiled from the fight quickly cooled, and there were at least a dozen rats gathered in the part of the room that could be seen alone. And more rats are gathering in a steady stream.

"Damn, I really shouldn't have listened to your nonsense, so hard to run so far to make food for mice."

"We found a lot of things, and if the rats hadn't found them, we would have enjoyed ourselves for a while. If it weren't for the unlucky overturning of the cabinet, we wouldn't have run in vain, at least one person would have had a chance to ......"

Before Coulomb could finish his words, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the entrance of the second floor, and the two of them, who were too nervous, looked up at the same time.

This move gave the rats the opportunity they had been waiting for, and several rats pounced at the same time. When the two of them, who found that there was a problem with the coordination, quickly withdrew their upturned heads, they could only watch as the rat's teeth with disgusting saliva were getting closer and closer to them.

There's no way a third person will come out to the rescue this time......

But fate is always so wonderful.

Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-

A series of large, but coherent sounds came, and with these sounds, the rats approaching the two of them all twisted into various strange shapes as if they had been hit with a heavy hammer. But unlike a sledgehammer attack, every twist of the rat's body will cause a large piece of flesh to fly away.

The two of them had never used a gun, but that didn't mean they hadn't seen a hunter shoot a mouse with a gun, an ordinary small-caliber pistol needed at least three or four shots in a row to kill a rat, and a rare rifle was much more powerful, but it was absolutely impossible to achieve such a rate of fire and power.

In the face of this incomprehensibly powerful attack, these rats scattered and fled after dropping more than a dozen corpses under the furious sound of their ancestors decades ago. This is the first time in their lives that the two have seen so many rats fleeing at the same time. And run so wildly.

Some of the blocked rats actually grabbed the rats in front of them directly with their claws, and in the latter's miserable howl, they quickly crawled past them with several bloodshots.

At the entrance to the sewers, in order to snatch the priority of escape, several rats desperately hit each other like angry bulls.

In front of the cement guardrail of other buildings, the rat that could not grab the entrance tried to climb over it, but the clumsy body always fell again and again, and the rat in a hurry actually hit the cement guardrail with its body, trying to hit it directly and rushed over. But it wasn't until the normal entrance was once again open after a brief period of congestion that the stunned rats staggered away from there.

Looking at all this, Jack actually felt a moist feeling in his eyes.

"Damn, this is the power that humans should have, rats have been afraid of us for tens of thousands of years, this is the most normal ...... Woo......"

Before Jack could find the reason for the moistening of his eyes, Coulomb, who had escaped death, had already cried and told the answer, and in an instant, the liquid accumulated in Jack's eyes flowed uncontrollably.

Every drop of liquid is precious, and crying is a waste of physical strength, which is a law that everyone living in this era knows, so even children who have just become sensible have never dared to cry extravagantly.

In the face of death, the two who never thought about enjoying the feeling of crying found that when it was really time to cry, they couldn't help themselves and those damn laws.

The two of them now feel like children who have been bullied by bad guys all the time, and suddenly waited for the hero to appear and helped him teach the bad guys a hard lesson. The bad guys, who were afraid of heroes, fought each other and slammed into the walls in order to escape...... This is the greatest excitement and emotion that almost every child's simple heart can contain.

What's more, compared to the bad guys who bullied children, the human beings who once dominated the earth were actually used as food by rats, which is a kind of sadness that goes deep into the bone marrow once it is remembered by those who are deliberately forgotten. People who have experienced peacetime always unconsciously give this sadness the disguise of memory and pride, and pass it on from generation to generation in the form of stories until the moment it is triggered.

"What are you doing? Those things might come back, so come up first. ”

The people upstairs obviously couldn't understand the complicated psychology of the two of them, and after hanging a rope, they walked away from the entrance.

After experiencing too many ups and downs in a short period of time, the two hurriedly climbed up the rope, and only after entering the wrong two houses did they see their savior in a bedroom against the street.

It was a handsome young man with white skin contrasted by pitch-black hair.

This description may not be accurate, if by pre-war standards, this young man's skin is not fair, and his appearance is somewhat different from handsome.

But in this era when humanity is repeatedly ravaged by intense ultraviolet rays and ubiquitous radiation, these two words are appropriate for him.

At the first sight of this beautiful young man, Jack unconsciously associated him with the lucky ones who lived in high-class shelters, but the next moment, he quickly dismissed his idea.

The people in the shelter never dared to open the entrance, and the shelters that did so were slaughtered in a day, not only to rob them of their supplies, but also to live on the imbalance of human beings on the ground.

Therefore, under the multiple threats of the same kind and mutated animals that have already appeared in vastly different, as well as radiation, the people in the advanced shelter hardly dare to leave their safe havens, let alone come to this territory that belongs to rats.

In addition to this reason, there is also a big problem with this person's attire, and the delicate skin is enough to show that he is not a mutant. But even those micro-mutants who walked on the ground all year round did not dare to expose themselves directly to the sun, but he was only wearing a thin coat that did not show the slightest protective power, and he could not resemble how such an outfit allowed him to walk under the violent sun alive.

Perhaps, the answer lies in the huge backpack that was nearly a man tall next to the young man......

Jack's eyes wandered back and forth over the backpack for a while, and he couldn't tell what it contained, and he couldn't imagine how the young man carried it.

Finally, Jack's gaze returned to the young man, to be precise, a silver rifle swaying slightly with his hand swinging back and forth.

Needless to say, it's a powerful weapon for rats to run wildly. The yearning for this great power made Jack's eyes stay on this weapon for much longer than on the youth, and on the huge backpack. It wasn't until the young man stopped shaking the gun that Jack suddenly realized how dangerous his actions were.

Hurriedly pulled Culomb, who was also stupid, "My name is Jack, he is my companion Cullen, thank you for saving our ......"

After saying that, Jack didn't know what to do. Usually new entrants to the settlement will go up to shake hands or even hug after introducing themselves, and I heard that this is a friendly way of showing friendship that has been passed down since before the war. But Jack always felt that it would be dangerous to do so to someone he met for the first time in the field, especially the person in front of him, so he quickly put his right hand back after lifting it a few centimeters.

But after a few seconds of embarrassment, the other party took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "My name is Qiu Yu, and I'm a ...... Well...... Passengers who have been separated from their companions. ”
