Chapter 50: The City of No Man's Land (47) High in the sky
When the "nezumi" pounced again, I hurriedly pulled the backpack away, and at the same time reached for the side of the bag and touched it.
I couldn't help but feel a burst of joy when I found something I was looking for. It's a blessing to say, but I was lucky to have it stuffed in my hand at the time, thankfully I didn't lose it in the bumps, and fortunately I remember having what I needed in the side pocket of my backpack.
Seeing that the nezumi was about to pounce again, I didn't think much about it, adjusted my position according to the plan, and ran a few steps to hide behind the bar. While vigilantly holding a knife to defend against the "nezumi", he reached out and took down the bottles of wine from the wine rack and threw them at the location of the "nezumi" outside the bar.
Although the bottle was not lethal, it still slightly blocked the attack of the "rat man", and with the bar counter as an obstacle, it couldn't get close to me for a while. In just a dozen seconds, I've already thrown out more than twenty bottles of wine.
Even if the rats that make up the "rat people" are all young mice, they still have sharp claws, and a large number of young rats gather together to form the "rat people", and the whole body is covered with the sharpness of these claws. Because of this, the bottle I smashed at the "nezumi" was able to burst open as I wished, so that all the alcohol inside soaked the nezumi.
After all, the "rat man" is a whole composed of individual young mice, and there is a gap between the young rats and the young mice, even if they are next to each other, they cannot fill the gap. In fact, this kind of gap has no effect on their attack power, but because of the existence of the gap, they can form a larger volume, and they can also sacrifice a smaller number of young rats on the surface to a greater extent before, blocking the powder I spilled on it.
It's just that now I need to take advantage of these gaps, and it's true that powder doesn't get into them easily, but liquor as a liquid doesn't have this problem at all. The liquor that had been spilled on the rat man went down the cracks and into its "body", causing more rats to get wet, which was the most important part of my plan.
Because of my actions, the smell of the wine is in the air, and the mellow aroma of wine is in the nose. However, at this time, I was not in the mood to taste the smell of wine in the air, and carefully looked at the wetness of the "nezumi" body, which was probably about the same, so I took out what I had just found in the side pocket of my backpack and threw it at the nezumi - it was a normal lighter I had picked up in the supermarket before.
The lighter was thrown at the "nezumi", and the flames burst into flames as soon as they touched the fur stained with the liquor. Within a second, the "nezumi" was completely wrapped in flames, and it burned fiercely, becoming a "fire man". The heat of the flames brought burns to the rats, and the unique terrible cries of countless young rats sounded repeatedly, and the entire "rat man" struggled and twisted, and the humanoid gathering state had begun to dissipate. The detachment of the outer layer of young rats can't stop the burning of the whole "rat man", after all, the liquid crystal of wine penetrates into the inside, and the ground is also full of wine, there is no way to hide, there is no way to avoid it!
While the pups were struggling in a panic, I carefully dodged the flames and the scurrying mice looking for the fire, ran out of the bar, tried to reduce my presence against the wall, and ran in the direction of the rooftop.
However, I underestimated the determination of the rats to stop me, whether it was their intelligence or their instincts, as if killing me was something they were desperate to accomplish.
The panic lasted for a short while, and I had barely run a short distance when I heard a sharp rat cry that was unusual. It was a very special rat call, and unlike the usual high-pitched rat call, it was very low, and the average rat call was far less penetrating than it was. The particular rat call was not very loud, but it was clearly recognizable among the many calls, and every syllable could be heard clearly.
As soon as the rat cry sounded, the young rats who had panicked because they thought the flames were burning suddenly quieted down, as if they had heard some order, and seemed to be no longer affected by the flames on their bodies, and gathered together again from the scattered state, forming a burning flame "rat man".
Although I didn't understand what the rat meow meant, I could see that it came from inside the "rat man". This led me to make a bold assumption that the "rat people" were like a group, and the rat that made a special rat call was the heart of the "rat people" and the leader of the group. If it is hidden in the innermost part of the "nezumi", it is likely that the liquor has not penetrated there, and the other young rats will definitely do their best to protect it.
Under the command of the "heart", even the burning flames could not make these young rats retreat, they gathered together one after another, and the outer layer of burning was made up for another layer, completely recovering the original attack ability before being burned, and pursued me!
The original "rat man" I can still use the knife in my hand to resist one or two, and now the "rat man" is burning, and there are a lot of young rats, and I can always be afraid of death and not afraid of being scorched to the "rat man" to form a new young rat resource, but I can't, I can't even attack with a knife again because I'm afraid of flames.
His sister's! I had no idea that this method of using flames, which I thought was a good plan, ended up lifting a stone and shooting myself in the foot!
If you can't attack, you can only dodge, and my own body can be wasted, just a burst of escape and fighting has used a lot of my physical strength, plus I don't know if it's my illusion, after that special rat call, the attack of the "rat man" seems to have become even more violent! At this time, just dodging the attack of the "nezumi" had exhausted all my mental energy, and I couldn't think of a way to get out.
Damn it! This will not work! Too much time has been wasted! If it goes on like this, the wolf tooth and the forest cliff will not be able to hold it!
What to do? What to do!? What is the way to get out!
Another attack from the "Nezumi" arrived, and its attacks were getting more and more fierce and rapid, and I didn't know how many more times I could hold out. Dodging backwards suddenly, narrowly dodging its attack, its back hit the outer guardrail, beyond the guardrail is three layers of glass, there is no way to escape!
Wait a minute! Glass!?
I looked sideways upwards, and sure enough, I remembered correctly! There are windows there!
The overall shape of the three floors of the color TV tower is like a spinning top, the glass outside the guardrail is inclined inward at an angle of about 30 degrees, the lower part of the glass is fixed, and the upper part has a window that can be opened at intervals, and there is one above my head at this time!
I was looking at the window, thinking about the feasibility of the method that had suddenly come to mind, but in the reflection of the glass, I noticed that the "nezumi" was coming at me again!
Reflexively, I slid to the side, and there was no time for me to think slowly, so I could only instinctively follow the method that had just come up with my mind. I rolled over with my arms on the guardrail, stood up and pushed open the window when I stepped on the guardrail, and crawled out of the window with both feet. Through the reflection of the mirror, I could clearly see that as soon as my legs left the guardrail, the "rat man" chased after me and almost touched me!
Die and die! I can't care about that much now! It's better to fall to death than to be burned or bitten to death by a rat!
Thinking like this, I gritted my teeth and crawled out of the window without hesitation.
Fortunately, the beveled glass is divided into two pieces, and the steel part that separates the upper and lower parts is protruding from the mirror, which gives me a place to climb.
But after all, I am an individual, and I don't even walk much, let alone climb. Moreover, the glass is tilted inward at 30 degrees, so you have to overcome the influence of gravity if you want to climb up. When I struggled to crawl out of the window with all my hunger, I almost fell headfirst unsteadily! Fortunately, I held on to the bottom of the window and stopped it from slipping!
At this time, I was already outside the color TV tower, and the "rat man" was still inside the third floor of the color TV tower, which could be regarded as getting rid of its threat for the time being, but it could also be seen that it was trying to pop out of the window, and on the other side, Wolf Tooth and Lin Ya didn't know what the situation was now, and there was no time to delay me, so I had to continue to act!
After being on the periphery of the color TV tower, the glass has become a 30-degree slope for me, which is not too steep, and if I lie on the glass and do not move, it is still safe. However, after all, I stayed here without any safety measures, and I was hundreds of meters in the air below, and if I accidentally slipped my feet, I would be crushed to pieces.
I didn't dare to look down, even if I didn't have a serious fear of heights, even a little vertigo could kill me in this dangerous place.
I could feel my body trembling. I didn't dare to make any big movements, so I stiffened and pressed against the glass. In the glass window are rat cubs that are constantly crashing into the glass, and although they are still cubs, you can also see the sharp teeth in their mouths.
I didn't dare to look any further, and looked up to turn my attention upwards. Trying his best to control the tremors of his body, he imagined that he was not a few hundred meters in the air, but just on a flat ground, trying to climb up with the help of the protruding part of the glass around him.
I climbed up to the top of the window, gritted my teeth and closed the open window. So, while it had the advantage of completely separating me from the calves in glass, the windows could only be opened from the inside - meaning I couldn't go back to the third floor through the windows.
Taking a deep breath, I grabbed the bulge and stretched my left arm upwards against the glass, but I wasn't too short to reach the bottom of the fence on the upper roof. Just by grabbing the bottom of the fence, I was already on tiptoe with my toes propped up on the protrusion.
However, in this situation, I must not let go and readjust, and if my foot slips after letting go, I will probably fall straight from this.
Grab the fence with my left hand with all my might, and I have no way back.
Can only climb up.
