Chapter 42: No Man's City (39) Dead

"Where did I find the key, it's hanging on the wall inside, how are we going to get it?"

I lowered my voice and whispered to the wolf fangs, not even daring to turn the flashlight back to shine at the adult mutant rats in front of me so as not to irritate them, for fear that too bright a light would irritate them to go berserk.

"Where is the height of the wall?"

The wolffang also replied in a low voice, and the rats in front of me were getting closer and closer, slowly, but they were indeed approaching.

I subconsciously glanced back at the location I had just seen, estimated the distance and said to the wolf fang, "More than one meter higher than those little mice, less than two meters high, in our current left-hand position, the straight-line distance is about 10 meters."

Wolf Fang tilted his head slightly to the left to confirm the direction I was talking about, and after a few seconds of silence, he said, "In that case, you can only jump in and get the key." Mo Li, Lin Ya, Mecca, all ready, I'll count three, when I count to one, Mo Li and Mecca, you turn the flashlight around and shake these mice, this kind of strong light at close range is enough for them to panic, we will take the opportunity to jump off this platform and go to get the key.

"Wait, there are so many rat cubs in there, even if their attack power is a little worse than the ones in front of them, but after all, they also eat meat, and we will still be torn apart." Lin Ya's voice came from another time, and this kind of low-voiced conversation made me even more nervous, "Sprinkle some medicinal powder on everyone's body, the effect of medicinal powder must be greater than the pills on our body, and the medicinal powder that has not been touched is left here, and it can also slightly block these adult mutant mice." ”

"Okay, but it's enough to sprinkle half a bottle per person, there are very few medicinal powders, save some." Wolf Fang said, took out his bottle of medicinal powder from himself, and handed it to me, "One bottle for me and Mo Li, one bottle for Lin Ya and Mecca, Mo Li, pour some on my hand, and you will rub it on yourself and behind my back." ”

I took the medicine bottle handed over by the wolf tooth as I said, and I saw that Lin Ya also handed his bottle to Mecca, and Mecca had already put the collection point on the ground temporarily, opened the medicine bottle and poured some into Lin Ya's hand. Therefore, I did what the wolf fang said, and I stepped up to action. After putting down the flashlight, he first poured about a quarter of the medicinal powder on his hand and asked him to wipe it in front of him, then poured out a quarter of the medicinal powder and rubbed it on his back, and then rubbed the remaining general medicinal powder on himself.

The effect of the powder was remarkable, and from the moment the bottle was opened, the mutated adult rats quickly took a step back, and when the powder spilled out, they retreated a lot. But I can also clearly feel that the murderous intent and tyranny of those rats are even heavier

"Have you wiped all the powder? Mo Li, Mecca, pick up the flashlight again, come to the edge and follow what I said before, and listen to my instructions."

Wolf Fang whispered as he slowly moved to the edge of the passage in small steps, and the four of us stood in a row at the edge, nervously facing the army of mutant rats in front of us, waiting for the countdown of Wolf Fang.

"Lin Ya, you drag some Mecca, jump down and get ready at the same time as the flashlight turns, three-two-one, jump!"

According to the instructions of the wolf's tooth countdown, when I heard a moment, I suddenly shot the flashlight in my hand in the opposite direction at the mutant rats in front of me, only to hear the mutated rats let out a terrible and manic scream. A strong force came from my waist, and by the time I reacted, the whole person was already in mid-air, and was rapidly fallingβ€”the wolf's fang wrapped one hand around my waist and led me to jump down with me.

This was the first time I had jumped from such a height, and although I knew that there were overlapping rat cubs underneath as cushions, it was about ten meters high, and I still fell into the rat pile, so I subconsciously closed my eyes with nervousness and fear.

However, the expected feeling of touching countless wriggling ** creatures did not come, and when I was in the air, the wolf fang held me in one direction, and when I fell to the bottom, my back touched his broad, hard chest.

I was still in a trance when I had just fallen below, and just when I was still stunned and did not recover from this feeling of falling from a height, the wolf fang got up and helped me up, dragged me and ran in the direction of the left.

"Where is the key!? Don't leave! ”

I came back to my senses when I heard the wolf's fang's shout, and adjusted the flashlight in my hand to shine on the key's position, so that the wolffang could see the direction of the key.

Following my light instructions, Wolf Fang dragged me, Lin Ya dragged Mecca, and the four of us began to run in the direction of the key, while Wolf Fang shouted at us.

Wolf Fang: "Don't leave!" Mecca! I know where the key is! Turn the lights back to the passage we jumped on, we're going to get out of the way of the rats and find out what they're doing! ”

Hearing the cry of the wolf's fangs, Mecca and I did not hesitate to adjust the lights back according to his instructions, and from here we could already faintly see the pointed heads of the rats, and it was predictable that it would not be long before they broke through the blockade of the powder and caught up.

Although it was only ten meters, because it was not an ordinary flat ground but an uneven layer of rat cubs, and there were all kinds of scattered corpses, plus the light was used to deal with adult rats, we could only rush to the key in the dim light with a little afterglow.

Every step was accompanied by the terrible cries of the rat cubs, because of the powder on our bodies, the older ones did not dare to pounce, but the smaller ones would tug at our trouser legs and shoes to bite. We could only crawl on top of us and gnaw our rat cubs while moving forward one foot deep and one foot shallow. Occasionally, I would step on rotten pieces of meat, and the stench accompanied by the sticky and moist feeling under my feet made me almost want to vomit. There was even a time when I happened to step on a human head, and my feet were unsteady and almost slipped, but luckily a wolf's tooth held me up and continued to drag me forward.

I've never walked such a difficult 10-meter test, and it even gave me the feeling of going back to my student days to take the 1,000-meter test, and when I got to the place where the key was, I was leaning against the wall as if I was prostrating, flicking my legs to get rid of the rat cubs that were gnawing at my trouser legs.

Finally approaching the raised stone, Wolf Fang took the key and put it around his neck. At this moment, I subconsciously glanced at the passage illuminated by the flashlight, and just in time to see that the rats had reached the edge of the passage, and the first few had jumped down!

"Wolf Fang! What to do next! Those adult rats are chasing after them! I screamed uncontrollably, leaning against the wall, my fingers scratching at the bumps of the wall, and as I spoke, the rats that had jumped down at the beginning had already run a meter or two towards us, and the rats that followed were jumping down from the mouth of the passage in turn.

"Find an exit! There must be other exits here! Find out! ”

Wolf Fang roared, picked out the lightweight knife from his backpack, aimed at the target and threw it.

After all, this is the home of the rats, and they don't have as hard time moving as we do, and in a matter of seconds they've rushed to a position where they're only two or three meters away from us. Although the flying knives thrown by the wolf fangs are still sure to hit, I don't know if it's because this is the physical library of the mice, those rats did not compete to eat the corpses of their companions as they did on the rooftop before, only some of the rats were delayed by the corpses of their companions, and more were still approaching us.

"Mo Li and I didn't see any other exits just now, it's all walls!" Mecca shouted, and together with Lin Ya, they also took the props to the wolf's fang, and the three of them protected me in front of me and began to kill the rats that pounced on me.

I watched the rats rush in like a tide, and the more I feared, the more excited I became, and the fear of watching them pounce and the excitement of being killed by the wolf's fangs made me shudder. Perhaps killing is the instinct of every animal, and humans originally had it, but in the long process of evolution and the construction of civilization, humans gradually lost this instinct. However, this instinct is not gone, but hidden deep inside, and at some point it will awaken and turn humans back into beasts.

Looking at the overwhelming rat tide and the three people fighting in front of me, I was no longer afraid, only the desire to kill the rats side by side with them. The excitement made my fingers clenched unconsciously on the wall, probably because I used too much force this time, and my fingers were inserted directly into the wall, tearing off a piece of the wall.

The strange appearance of the wall made me calm down a little, and when I looked closely, I realized that the material of the wall in my hand was a little strange, it was not rock or cement concrete, but the kind I found before, a wall made of mouse droppings!

"Wolf Fang! The walls here are fake! It was the rats who made it! There should be a passage in the back! I hurriedly shouted to tell the wolf fang what I had found, and at the same time took out a bottle of medicinal powder in one hand and stepped forward to join the battle with a close-fitting knife in the other, "You are stronger than me!" You go open the way! I'll take it! There is still medicine powder in your hand! ”

"Then be careful!" Wolf Fang was not ambiguous, and quickly let me take his place, and went behind me to check the condition of the wall, "This wall is indeed fake!" Wait until I get it through! Hold on! ”

Although I don't have the skill of throwing knives like wolf fangs, but with the powerful help of medicinal powder, plus Mecca and Lin Ya to help me, I can barely take the place of wolf fangs. From time to time, he swayed out the powder, and took advantage of the panic of those rats to kill with a knife.

The warm rat blood stained my body, with a peculiar fishy smell, the clothes on my body were completely soaked red with blood, and the arm that wielded the knife was already sore. Although my physical strength was close to exhaustion, my spirit was extremely resistant. The disgust for rats made me kill even more, and even later my consciousness was blurred, leaving only the mechanical swaying of the powder, raising the knife to kill, the sharp screams of the rats and the blood spurting out, actually made me have a strange feeling of pleasure.

During the constant killing, I seemed to feel what was happening behind me, and suddenly I heard the sound of wolf fangs screaming that the wall had broken through and made me walk quickly, but my consciousness was completely unable to react to this, and I only knew that I relied on my body's mechanical instinct to continuously slash and kill the rats that pounced on me from all directions.

Why go? I'm not going! I'm going to kill all these hateful rats! Kill all these demons! Kill! Kill!! Kill!!!

The number of rats is increasing, the effect of the powder is getting weaker and weaker, my ability is limited after all, and when I stab one mouse on the right with my knife, another mouse has already pounced on me from the front, and the target is my throat!

It was only then that I realized that Timbercliff and Mecca had retreated to the back at some point, and that the wolf's fangs were probably at the edge of the wall. The rat pounced on me in the front, and at this angle, even he couldn't help me kill the rat with a throwing knife. In other words, at the moment, there is no one who can support me.

And I have no ability to resist.
