The thousands of steps would normally be a difficult stretch of the road—at least for me—but by this time, with the rats in pursuit, both Wolffang and Woodcliff had used their fastest speeds to climb upwards as best they could. This can barely keep a distance from the chasing rats, so that we don't shorten the distance between us and the rats, but their speed is only equal, but there is no way to make the distance even larger.

Because I was carried on my back by the wolf's fangs, I didn't feel much tired even after this rapid climb, only a slight bump, and I don't know how long it took me to climb the stairs, I just felt like I was quickly at the end of the stairs and saw the door to the third floor.

As the wolf tooth rushed into the door with a brisk step, I automatically jumped off his back when he opened the door and waited for Lin Ya to enter, after Lin Ya also entered the door, the wolf tooth quickly closed the glass door, and casually took a metal ornament on the counter next to him and stuck it on the handle of the door, forming a simple door lock to temporarily close the glass door. In fact, we all know very well that such a simple door lock can't stop the rats chasing us, but at least it can delay their pursuit for a while, which is better than nothing.

"Hey, there seem to be a few figures over there."

Originally, I was watching the wolf teeth card the glass door, but I heard Lin Ya's slightly puzzled voice.

How many figures? Aren't there just three of us here? How could there be other "figures"?

I looked in the direction that the wolf's teeth were looking at, and sure enough, I saw the "figure" he was talking about, and after a little startle, I hurriedly calmed down, and after a closer look, I found that those few were not people at all, but just "figures" - they were three gray-black human figures, although they were "figures", but they were only human figures with two legs standing on two legs, two arms and one head. At this time, the three "figures" have been in constant motion, a little staggering but quickly approaching us.

In fact, the so-called movement is nothing more than the silhouette of a humanoid figure that is constantly wriggling and changing, and the way it approaches us is not a normal human walking or running action, but more like pressing the wheel under your feet and sliding towards us. The whole figure looked extremely weird, all of them were gray and black, and there were no facial features on the "face". Except for the shape and outline that resemble a human form, it is no longer resembling a human at all.

"That's not a figure! It is something formed by a lot of mouse pups coming together! Be careful! Let's go to the rooftop! The rats have caught up! ”

Hearing the wolf's fangs, I realized what those strange "figures" were, and when I looked closely, I found that they were monsters composed of mouse cubs. Many rat cubs are wrapped around each other, and they complete the various movements of the "human figure" by constantly wriggling.

I've only heard of ants hugging together to increase their attack power, but I didn't know that rats know this way. This method of combining to form "nezumi" perfectly solves the weakness of the young rats' lack of bounce and attack power, so that they can also become extremely lethal monsters.

There was a constant sound of collisions around me, and I looked in the direction where the sound came from, but I was so frightened that I subconsciously took a step back. Through the glass door, you can see that the stairwell outside the door is overcrowded with adult mice, and they are constantly banging against the glass door, making a "bang, bang" sound, and in some places small cracks have appeared, and the cracks are still expanding as the rats continue to hit.

Looking at the way the glass door vibrates, it can be surmised that it will not be long before all the two pieces of glass will shatter, and it will only be a matter of time before the adult rats catch up. And once they catch up, with a two-sided attack from both the adult rat and the young rat people, we will not be able to resist them. Therefore, it is necessary to rush to the rooftop before the adult rats catch up and activate the device with the key, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

Thinking of this layer, I understood the importance of racing against time at this time, seeing that the wolf fang had already taken out the knife he carried and faced the rat man in front of him, Lin Ya and I followed without any nonsense. Although the medicinal powder on my body was originally more than half of all the medicinal powder, and it had been used up, but fortunately, the medicinal powder on Lin Ya and Wolf Tooth was only half consumed before, and the two of them still had about two or three bottles in each hand.

The wolf fang first met the young mouse "nezumi", and after he approached, the "nezumi" in front also sped up and pounced on him, but before he could really get close to him, he received a handful of wolf fangs and sprinkled the powder.

With a terrible and shrill rat cry filled my eardrums, I only saw that the mouse "rat man" who was attacked by the wolf tooth with medicinal powder seemed to be dissolved, and the youngest mice that came into contact with the medicinal powder on the surface fell directly from the nezumi, and the whole nezumi visibly shrunk a circle with the naked eye, but in just a few seconds, it regained its original size, and even faintly tended to be bigger than before.

"Those rats are a constant replenishment! Look at their feet! After the powder comes off in contact, there are more to add from the feet! "I found the reason for the strangeness of the "rat man", and the reason was obvious, just a little look at it could be understood, and as soon as I understood, I opened my mouth to tell the wolf tooth and Lin Ya.

Probably inspired by me, Wolf Fang also saw that there was a problem, and at this time the second "nezumi" was already approaching. He met the two nezumi with the powder and shouted at us, "No! Even if there are no powders attacking them, they are growing in size! The rats that join them will only gather more and more! This must be resolved quickly! Otherwise, they'll be too big for us to fight against! ”

At this time, the third rat man also arrived in front of us, and Lin Ya greeted him without saying a word, also weakening the young rat "rat man" with the help of earth medicine powder and the knife in his hand—or slowing down its growth.

I was about to step forward to help Wolf Fang share the attack of a "nezumi", but Wolf Fang stopped me from approaching, shouting at me, "Don't come here!" Lin Ya and I are dragging these few, you go to the rooftop and start those machines! Just start those machines and that's all over! Just go! The glass door is going to break! ”

Wolf Fang shouted, and at the same time took the time to throw the backpack on his body to me, I subconsciously took the backpack and touched it, and found that there was still a bottle of medicinal powder left in the backpack - this should be the only bottle of medicinal powder left on Wolf Fang's body, but he gave it to me. The bag also contained knives from the wolf's fangs to use as throwing knives, but those knives had already been used up before.

In other words, the only thing that Wolf Fang can use to deal with rats is the only half bottle of powder left under his hand and the knife in his hand. And he has to deal with not one young rat "rat man", but two!

I also knew that the best way was what Wolf Fang said, and that I wouldn't be of much help if I stayed here. In other words, the three young rats "rat people" can't be killed, even if I help here, it can only stop them from continuing to grow, once the glass door shatters, the adult rats behind them arrive, the three of us are absolutely certain to die. At this time, the only way is for them to drag the "rat man" and I will start the machine alone, so that I may be able to win a chance of survival.

After thinking about this, I didn't say anything anymore, took out the only bottle of medicinal powder left in the backpack and held it in my hand, and threw the backpack directly to the ground after it was useless, and broke through the blockade of the "rat people" from the edge under the cover of wolf fangs and forest cliffs, and ran past them towards the gate to the rooftop.

However, those rats who already have intelligence are obviously not going to let me achieve my goals so smoothly. I had barely gone far when countless young rats quickly gathered in front of me, forming something familiar to me - the fourth "nezumien"!

Looking at the rapidly forming and growing "rat man" in front of me, I didn't want to open the bottle of medicine powder directly, and sprinkled the whole bottle of medicine powder without hesitation! Time is running out of time! Now is not the time to be stingy with powder, I must race against time, and I must not be held back by this "rat man"!

My vision was good, but I completely underestimated the number of young rats and the self-healing ability of these "rat people". These young rats seem to have judged that I am the most threatening target for them at this time, so they spend most of their energy and strength on maintaining and strengthening the "nezumi" in front of me, whether it is the repair ability or the speed of increase, this one in front of me is much stronger than the three "nezumen" that Wolf Fang and Lin Ya dealt with just now.

And after facing the "rat man" alone, I found that its attack power was much stronger than I imagined, even if Lin Ya needed the assistance of the medicine powder when facing a "rat man" before, not to mention that I was now facing an even more powerful "rat man", and the medicine powder had been used up!

The "rat man" in front of me pounced, so frightened that I hurriedly rushed to the side to dodge, my body on the tile floor because of inertia all the way to the wall of the counter, I didn't dare to delay, regardless of the pain in my back and shoulders and hurriedly got up, but just in time to see the rat man pounced on me again!

Rolled to the side in embarrassment, and slashed at the "rat man" with a backhand by the way. No! This will not work! It can't be put off any longer! This "nezumi" must be dealt with quickly, or we will all die here!

I couldn't wait for it to pounce any longer, so I hurriedly got up, only to find a backpack at hand - it was the same backpack we used to pack food in the supermarket before loading it.

I looked at my backpack for a moment, then turned my head to look at the counter next to me, which happened to be a small bar with a wine rack inside the bar. Presumably, the researchers who were originally trapped here didn't drink much, but luckily, the wine shelves were basically complete.

My eyes lit up, and I thought of a solution to this nezumi!
