Chapter 46: No Man's City (Forty-Three) Early in the morning

"The word "waiting" is quite accurate." Wolf Fang let out an incomprehensible laugh, "They're waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net, and we have to go."

Wolf Fang didn't seem to be very worried about the current situation, and listening to his laughter just now, did he already have a countermeasure?

"What? Is there any good way to do it? I leaned forward slightly, leaned against the back of the saddle in front of me, leaned close to the wolf's fangs, and asked, "Are those rats only outside the color TV tower, or are they occupying the inside?" ”

Lin Ya also participated in our conversation at this time, his voice was a little duller than usual, he could feel it, and his mood was also a little low, I think it was also a little sad because of it. After all, it was a companion who had fought side by side, and Lin Ya and I couldn't be as careless as Wolf Fang.

Lin Ya said, "We have searched all the areas, and we should have searched all the pharmacies, and the results are behind you." ”

I turned to look, only to find that there was a pile of pill boxes on the back seat - this should be the result of what Lin Ya said. It's just that the pill boxes have been opened, and I took a closer look, only to find that there was a plastic bag against the window of the car, and inside was a bottle of white-pink powder.

The place where the plastic bag was placed was the place where Mecca leaned during the day, and the dark gray seat in the dark was very clean, because this car was not Lin Ya's van, but a car that Wolf Tooth drove on the side of the road after pulling out the sewer, so there was no dark blood stain on the seat like Lin Ya's car after drying. Mecca no, I can't think about him anymore, I should be thinking about how to live now.

The images of Mecca kept coming to mind uncontrollably, and I could only try not to think about the past and turn my attention to how to break through the rat's blockade and put the key where it should be. Looking down, the key and my wolf tooth pendant were there, and the rope was wrapped around and dangling from my chest. Raising his hand to hold both in his hand at the same time, his fingers felt their edges and corners, and the irritability and helplessness in his heart calmed down a little.

"Judging from the current situation, those rats are just surrounding the color TV tower, and it seems that they have no intention of entering the tower, probably they themselves have an instinctive fear of the color TV tower. But when it comes to the problem, after we break through the blockade of those rats and enter the tower, I also said that those rats already have a certain amount of intelligence, and it cannot be ruled out that they will enter the tower because of the emergency. Wolf Fang leaned on the back of the saddle and tilted his head slightly to me.

His voice is no different from usual, thinking about the kind of boring jokes he could make before, probably other people's deaths really didn't affect him at all.

Wolf Fang: "But be careful, you'll be surrounded by rats in the tower. We now know that the rats can still move through the pipes. As you said before, the rats entered the homes of the citizens through the pipes of the toilets and killed them. Then those rats are also likely to enter through the pipes, reach three floors before us, and then flank us back and forth in the stairwell. ”

"Wait," I thought as I followed the wolf's teeth, but found something wrong, "each of those rats is half a meter in size, and they're so fat, and the ventilation ducts are fine, and the toilets should be sewer pipes, right?" They're too big for sewers, aren't they? ”

Wolf Fang got up from the seat he was leaning on, turned back to me and nodded to me in affirmation of what I said, "I've thought about this question, those adult mutant rats are indeed too big to get into that kind of pipe, but we saw before that there are still a lot of young mice." ”

Wolf Fang said as he reached out and pulled my hand in front of my eyes so that I could see my hand. I realized that I had a small laceration on my hand, because the wound was not very large, and I had been asleep before, so I only found it now.

Wolf Fang: "The wounds you were wounded were bitten by the young rats when you fell to the ground in the burrow. Those are probably just a little mouse, but you can tell that they already have some attack power, and as they grow up, their attack power will increase. And with their size, they can move perfectly through the sewer pipe of the toilet. ”

Looking at the wound on my hand I nodded silently, ants bite elephants to death, although the attack power of mutant young mice is not as terrible as that of adult mutant mice, but in terms of quantity, it is still very simple to kill one or two people.

"But those young rats seem to have a stronger reaction to the powder, so it might be okay to save enough powder and rush all the way to the rooftop." I thought back to my previous situation in the cave and said, inevitably remembering that Mecca may have another important thing to confirm, "Wolf Fang, will I ever have that emotional out-of-control state again when I face the rat colony?"

I looked at the wolf fang with some nervousness, afraid that I would get a "yes" answer. Mecca has already died because of this, even if Wolf Tooth and Lin Ya say that they don't blame me, even if I know Mecca, they won't blame me, but I don't want to affect others because of this, or even cause others to die because of this.

Wolf Fang looked at me silently for a long time, then hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in a calm tone, "The root cause of your emotional loss of control is actually because you have too strong a fear of mice. This is not a question you should ask me, but yourself, can you overcome your fears? If you stop fearing them, they won't affect you. ”

"Don't you be afraid anymore," I bowed my head and smiled bitterly, and walked around the rat nest, for now I was no longer very afraid of the rats, but I couldn't help but think of Mecca.

I don't know how to describe my complicated feelings now, on the one hand, reason tells me to put aside the affairs of Mecca for a while, and to focus all my energy on how to get out of this room alive, and on the other hand, emotion is clinging to the death of Mecca, and the more I try to let go, the more I force myself to remove him from my heart, the more he is wrapped tightly around my heart.

I always thought I was a sane person, but now I realize how fragile and vulnerable my intellect is in the face of such emotions that I have no control over.

"Don't leave." Lin Ya's voice made me slightly sober from this contradictory pain, and I looked up blankly, only to hear him say, "You said that death is not the most terrible thing for you, is it?" What he experienced was not the most terrible thing for him. He made the best choice for himself, it has nothing to do with you, you don't need to make shackles for yourself. ”

Make shackles for yourself? I was slightly stunned when I heard Lin Ya's words, but before I could think about the meaning of his words, I heard Wolf Fang say.

Wolffang: "It's here, let's get ready." ”

Arrived? Where's it going? I turned my head to look outside, only to find that Lin Ya didn't know when he had turned off the lights, this is a small alley very close to the color TV tower, looking in the direction of the color TV tower, you can vaguely see the dense rat swarm around the tower.

There were not only re-collected and ground powders in the car, but also newly found knives and some drinking water from the wolf's teeth, which were scattered in the car. Wolf Fang stepped out of the co-pilot's seat, crouching and fiddling with the knives.

"Let's go to the tower now? It's still night, and those rats are in a much better state at night than during the day, right? "I thought we were going to do it tomorrow morning, but I don't know why Wolf Fang is doing it now.

Wolf Fang brought a large number of knives on the ground to him, and handed me a heavier one, and I took it before he explained, "The only food we have left is in the tower, and we haven't eaten since noon." If you act again at dawn, your physical strength will be a few points worse than now, and it is better to act now. On the other hand, more importantly, I saw that the clouds in the sky were a little red in the evening, and the moon was very blurry tonight, so I was afraid that there would be a rainstorm coming soon, and I guessed that the rainstorm would probably be at dawn. And once it rains, after rushing into the tower, it is good to say that because of the rain outside the tower, our medicine powder cannot be sprinkled at all, and more importantly, the kind of potion with electromagnetic waves and estrogen prepared by the research institute will be directly diluted by the rain, and it is not sure whether it will affect the effect of the potion. To sum up, the best course of action is now. ”

After listening to the wolf's words, I subconsciously looked up at the moon in the sky, and sure enough, today's moon was very vague, hazy as if it was hidden in the fog and could not see clearly. Although I don't judge the weather based on this celestial phenomenon, I know that the wolf fang will not say unfounded things, so as he said, the best course of action is now.

"The knife I gave you was soaked in water from the powder, and it should be more lethal to those rats. This time there is more powder than last time, so you can bring a few more bottles with you. As he spoke, Wolf Tooth dragged over the plastic bag containing the medicine bottle in the back seat, and distributed the medicine powder in the bottle to Lin Ya and me. We'll switch to a more powerful sports car in a moment, and this time I'll break the glass on the passenger side to open the door. This gives us a little more power and allows us to go a little bit more and keep the car safe while driving. ”

Wolf Fang said to Lin Ya to confirm whether he understood his plan, and then continued to explain to us, "According to my speculation, we can probably rely on the car to rush into a distance of about 400 meters, and then when those rats react, they will block our car and can't drive any further." At this time, we have to get out of the car, I'll get off first, Lin Ya second, don't leave you last, I'll try my best to clean up more rats first. Don't leave you and get off the car and come to my back, and I'll carry you over. In other words, the distance of about 100 meters in the end was walked by Lin Ya and me. Be careful"

"I can walk on my own, I don't need you to carry me." I frowned and interrupted Wolf Fang's words, my previous experience in the cave made me confirm that I could barely deal with those mutant rats, and I wasn't helpless, "I can also kill those rats, and I won't be a burden on the team." ”

"Burden?" Hearing my words, Wolffang smiled again with mockery and contempt, "When it comes to burdens, you are indeed a burden now. ”
