Chapter 45 Circuit Break

In the center of the grotto lies a dead man on a stone platform. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

I wasn't afraid of the dead, and I couldn't count the cadaver specimens I'd dissected in medical school. A dead person seems to me to be no different from an animal's corpse. I'm just curious, how could a dead man suddenly appear here?

The corpse died but did not decompose, but it had lost its moisture because of the age, and its gray dry skin clung to the bones, and its face looked extremely hideous. The dead man was dressed in gray clerical attire, and his hands were dry like old tree roots, holding a metal cross on his chest.

There is nothing near the stone platform, and there are no burial goods, which seems a bit unbelievable. The grotto should have been uninhabited for hundreds of years, and the air is rich in ~ a strange smell of preservatives. Presumably, the corpse will not decay for a hundred years after embalming.

Yuan Mengqingfeng and the others, who followed later, were a little surprised when they saw a dead person lying in the grotto, but they were not surprised. It's normal to see dead zombies in the catacombs.

The bat gang was very disappointed to see that there were no funeral goods, and looked around carelessly, hoping to find the omission.

I found a line of neatly engraved inscriptions on the stone platform at the head of the corpse, "Jean. Bishop Roderick is immortal".

"This is Bishop Roderick!" I whispered my surprise. He was buried here! Half of the maps we have are from his notes. And the half of the map on the Holy Grail seems to have something to do with him as well.

Yuan Meng and the others heard about it and came over to take a look.

At this time, the bat found a hole in the southeast corner of the stone platform, and the round hole seemed to be unfathomable downward.

The mole pulled out a glow stick, snapped it, and threw it through a bucket-sized hole to see how deep it was.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he threw it down, there was a noise in the cave, indicating that there was a living creature below.

This frightened them so much that they scattered in a hurry, not daring to get too close to the entrance of the cave.

I was going to take off the metal cross that Bishop Roderick was holding in his hand because it was surprisingly large, but I was attracted by the movement of the bats, and turned around and whispered, "What's wrong?" ”

The bat and his little friend had retreated to us, and he nervously pointed to the hole, "There's something alive in there." ”

My mind moved, just now An An was grabbed by something~ left five bruises on his wrist, I took it for granted that it was a zombie, but now it seems to be wrong, maybe the living thing that the bat said is the real culprit.

Whether it's right or wrong, this place is a little weird, it's not a place to stay for a long time, so it's better to withdraw quickly and make a decision.

I made up my mind, waved my hand to the others, and went out quickly, while I leaned over and reached for the body of Bishop Roderick, intending to touch his cross, which I had just vaguely found inscribed, perhaps some useful information.

However, as soon as I stretched out my hand, I inadvertently noticed a line of fresh small footprints on the rocky ground next to the stone platform. Those tiny footprints were not left by humans at all, and my scalp tingled suddenly. Hurriedly followed the footprints, only to see that the direction of the footprints was the corner of the cave. There, a pair of shining eyes were releasing a wild cold light in the darkness.

I only glanced at it, and half of my whole body was crispy, and a chill rushed up to my heart.

The old corpse's eyesight is already excellent, and I am also equipped with a powerful LED miner's lamp, although the light of the cave is unknown, but I can still see it clearly at a glance, and secretly peeping at us in the darkness in the corner ~ is a giant mouse that is much larger than a pug.

The giant rat was black~ hairy, oily and shiny, and there was a whip-like rat tail behind him, which was constantly flicking around.

The brute crawled up from the deep hole at the stroke of our mind.

I finally knew what was holding An An, it turned out that she was caused by the rat's tail entanglement.

"Be careful, rat!" As soon as I could say a word of warning, the giant rat swooped down.

The rat is old, and this beast actually took the initiative to attack me.

I was about to touch the metal cross on Bishop Roderick's body, and I was about to reach it, but I suddenly found a giant mouse hidden in the corner, and almost at the same moment, this beast pounced, and I hurriedly grabbed ~ the cross on the corpse, and then took it as a tennis racket and swung it out.

Hear a crunching click, the sound of a skull being shattered.

The giant rat that pounced was pumped by the cross, and its head was torn apart and its brains were thrown out. The corpse weighing dozens of pounds was slammed onto the opposite stone wall and smashed on it, splashing blood.

Before I could rejoice, the bat and his little friend rushed out of the cave with surprisingly fast speed, as if they had been burned by fire.

I thought something was wrong, and before I could turn my head to look, my ears were filled with the sound of claws scratching stones. When I looked sideways, I was terrified.

Swarms of rats, a few points larger than the giant rat I had just killed, scurried out of the deep hole in the corner of the grotto, and at first glance, it looked like a rising coulee flood.

Oh my god, where does that deep hole lead, and how do so many big rats come out? But I didn't have time to ask questions, so I ran away.

So many rats don't run away yet, that's a joke. Even if we have a Thomson submachine gun in our hands, we may not be able to withstand the torrent of rats. What's more, we're still bare-handed.

But to be precise, I also have a metal cross about the size of a tennis racket, but it's like a useless burning stick compared to a pack of rats.

Yuan Meng and the others didn't need to be reminded, and they didn't run slowly, although they were half a beat later than the bats, they were the first to rush out of the cave, and I was half a beat behind them, and the giant rat that came up first had already pounced, and I had to wave the cross desperately to pump the two in front of me before retreating.

But there were more rats coming after me, and I had to fight and retreat, but this was the perfect time to escape. The entire grotto was already crowded with giant rats underground, and I was sadly surrounded by it.

My heart was completely cold, the cross in my hand in front of the rats did not play a role at all, maybe these beasts had not seen a living person for many years, and they were still a little cautious, and when they stabilized their positions, they rushed up together, and then I would inevitably die even if I was an iron man.

There are a million possibilities for death, and who would have thought that I would feed the rats!

At the moment when I was disheartened, swishing from outside the grotto~ three fires came in, and the puff coefficient fell at my feet, and several bright lights instantly blinded my eyes, and then the cold fireworks burned violently.

The rats that had wanted to pounce on me together were frightened by the bright light of the cold smoke and fire, and these beasts lived underground, and were naturally afraid of fire, and this was a good time for me to escape.

"Run!" An An shouted anxiously outside the grotto.

How could I miss this great opportunity to survive in the dead, and a "swallow drilling cloud" flew directly out of danger.

Yuan Meng and An An had a hand break, one caught me, and the other swung a mini mountaineering pickaxe in his hand and directly knocked down the stone wall, but unfortunately this move did not cause the upper rock layer to collapse, and almost all the masonry collapsed into the grotto.

Although this did not work, the frightened rat swarm was still held back, but in a matter of moments they would swarm out and pounce on us to bite us. In the cramped underground tunnels, we had little room to fight back. The only way to do that is to run as hard as you can forward.

But the bats and their little friends were at the front, and the giant rat swarm had already frightened them, and they didn't listen to their legs and feet, and they stumbled and stumbled in front of them.

We were so anxious that we smoked, but there was nothing we could do, and we watched the rats behind us kill us.

No, if we continue like this, as long as we are caught by the rats, none of us will survive. But my mind was blank as to how to escape from the Ascension, and I bit my lip and wrinkled my eyebrows.

Xu is life should not be extinguished, An An ran in front, the backpack on his back scraped on the rock on one side, snorted, the sharp rock surface cut the thick canvas like a knife, and all the messy equipment in the bag poured out~ out. Four or five small gas cylinders were on top, clanging against the rocks. These small natural gases are the fuel for small gas stoves for camping, which are lightweight, moisture-proof and fire-resistant.

Seeing this, I had an idea, and finally came up with a solution that was not a solution.

I bent down to pick up a small aluminum canister, hurriedly took off my coat, wrapped the small canister filled with natural gas tightly, and set my clothes on fire with a lighter.

At this time, the vanguard of the rat swarm behind me had already caught up, but the underground creatures were naturally afraid of fire, and when they saw the fire in my hand, they immediately instinctively sensed the danger, paused, and hesitated.

I looked at the brutes and gritted my steel teeth with hatred, and when the clothes in my hands burned to the fire, I threw them out viciously.

There was a tank of natural gas in the burning clothes, and I riveted it again, and hit the rocky ground in front of the rats, and the small tank was directly broken, and the leaking gas immediately caused an explosion.

There was a loud bang, which was deafening in the narrow underground tunnel.

A blazing fire ignited the hairs of the giant rats in front, causing a huge riot in the rat colony.

I took the opportunity to pick up the rest of the small canisters on the ground, and was just about to continue running, when I saw An An, who had run away, running back again. She heard an explosion from behind her and thought something was wrong with me, so she hurriedly turned back again.

The situation was urgent, and I didn't have time to explain, so I hurriedly picked up the most important pieces of equipment on the ground, stuffed them into An An's hand, and urged her to run quickly. The rat colony is only temporarily retreating, and it will definitely come back after a while, and this place is not a place to stay for long.

An An and I ran forward for dozens of meters, and when we saw Yuan Meng and Qingfeng also returning, I was so anxious that I couldn't cry or laugh, I couldn't talk nonsense at this time, so I quickly waved my hand and continued to run for my life.

After running more than 100 meters, a narrow throat-shaped opening suddenly appeared in front of the underground tunnel, and we could only get through it by lying on our stomachs. The bats and Medusa and others who were waiting here disappeared, thinking that they would run for their lives first when they saw that the situation was not good. Qingfeng, who was so angry that he was grumpy, scolded.

scolded and scolded, but he had to hurry up and drill the tunnel.

As soon as I got through the narrow mouth at the back, I heard the claws of Suo Suo behind me, and I couldn't help but be furious, and cursed the beasts for coming back so quickly!

The matter has come to this point, I am afraid that I will not be able to use extraordinary means, and I will not be spared from dying from the rat mouth.

I hurriedly found a plastic bag, and filled the remaining small canisters of natural gas, and then poked one of them in the eye with a knife to let it leak slowly, and then quickly tied the plastic bag tightly and stuffed it into the rock crevice in the narrow mouth.

As soon as I had done all this, the rats approached, and I snapped and turned on the lighter, although it was a small fire, but the rats had just suffered a little, and they didn't dare to rush up immediately. And I'm in no hurry to throw the lighter out.

I stared at each other with wide eyes, and we were at a stalemate for a while.

Actually, I was waiting for the gas to fill the plastic bag so that I threw the lighter to cause an explosion. And the rats are waiting for the fire in my hand to go out on its own. Because those brutes seem to think that this ignition is really a bit weak.

An An and the Yuan sisters behind me watched the development of the situation nervously, and I forgot to let them leave me alone and run for my life first.

Finally, the group of rats couldn't hold back, hesitated, and rushed forward with courage.

I gritted my teeth and threw the lighter out of my hand with a whoosh.

The lighter that flew out and smashed through the plastic bag immediately caused an explosion, and the explosion of a small natural gas tank immediately detonated the others.

A series of explosions shattered the rock layer at the narrow mouth, and the rock on top immediately pressed down, causing a collapse in an instant with tremendous force. There was a loud boom, smoke and dust rose from the narrow underground tunnel, and the road was sealed by tons of rock.

The rats have been killed and wounded, but there is no turning back.
