By the time I had finished my guesses, all four of us fell into an eerie silence for a moment - after all, if my guesses were correct, we were in a terrible situation.

It was the wolf tooth that broke the silence first, "Okay, if what Mo Li said is right, then I think everyone knows that our current situation is definitely not optimistic." Although in my opinion, Mo Li's guesses are probably ** not far from ten, and the front must be extremely dangerous, but according to the display on the tracker, the key we are looking for is not far ahead. ”

The wolf's voice was very calm, but there was a slight sense of solemnity, but there was no panic or fear in it.

Wolf Fang: "If you can't find the key, even if you don't get killed by the rats, the best outcome of being trapped in this empty city is starvation, it's better to let go and fight to find the key, this is also our only hope to escape from this room and live."

I was suddenly in a trance, I didn't know how many times Wolf Fang had experienced such danger, how many times he had found that narrow path of life in the shadow of death, how many times he had kept himself calm and inspired like he was now.

"Get your knives out, and since those rats are using us for food, let them see who can kill whom."

At this moment, the words of the wolf's teeth seemed to become the spiritual pillar of the three of us, and when we were overwhelmed by the impending danger, the calmness and composure of the wolf's teeth undoubtedly became the source of all our courage and strength.

Wiping the sweat from the nervousness in my palms and holding the knife tightly in my hand, everything that can guarantee my safety at this time is undoubtedly the key to whether I can survive.

We're in a rat's nest, thousands of rats waiting for us to get into their prey and tear us to shreds with their fangs.

I've said that the animals I'm most afraid of are rats, and I used to be so scared when I saw them on the rooftop. But it was on the rooftop that I brushed shoulders with death, and the fear of waiting for the second of death still haunts me.

The only thing that can overcome fear is the greater fear – the fear of death.

Even though I haven't faced rats again, I know I'm not going to be scared by them anymore. Because what is more terrible than a mouse is death itself.

The rats have sharp teeth, I know, only the blades in my hands are sharper. Come, see who the real hunter is, and I'll tear your gray fur with the blade in my hand.

"Are you ready? We moved on. ”

Hearing Wolffang's words, I nodded, took a deep breath and followed his pace, followed by Mecca and Woodcliff behind mecca.

Since there is no way back, there is only one way forward.

Since there is no escape, then you must fight!

As we got closer to the location of the key marked on the tracker, the feeling of being stared at became more and more intense, and that gaze that seemed to be like a substance was just glued to us, full of desire to tear us apart and prey on us.

Have you ever had the experience of approaching a danger that has been determined to be out of your control? Human beings are very complex and contradictory creatures, they have cowardice and strength in their hearts, and the power to challenge everything is hidden when they are subdued. When people find that there is a danger approaching that they cannot control, and they cannot escape it, there are only two reactions that people can have - either give up hope altogether or go all out to face the difficulties.

I can't describe this feeling, when I really have no choice but to admit defeat, every step I take, every time I get closer, what springs up in my heart is no longer fear and fear, but excitement and anticipation. It's like you can't help but shout! You monsters! Let's see who can kill whom today! Either you die, or we die!

Probably because of this weird mental state, it didn't make me collapse on the spot when I saw this scene.

After turning another corner, the flashlight shines in front of you, only to find that the passage is interrupted in front of you, as if that is the end of the passage. After a few more steps, the passage suddenly opened up at the end, and an incredible space opened up before our eyes.

At the end of the passage is a huge circular cavern, about ten meters deep downwards and about five meters upwards, according to where we stand, and according to my eyesight, the whole space is about a sphere, that is, it is a spherical space with a diameter of fifteen meters.

At the bottom of the space, there were squirming creatures covered in pink and gray, and if you looked closely, you could see that they were newborn and larger mice. They were crowded together, and countless squeaky cries were blended and superimposed, making people feel that their nerves were stimulated by these cries and ached.

Now, we finally know why the rat poison led us here, because this is their granary, so to speak, and it is a food center for future generations.

Isn't it ridiculous that humans are stored as food by rats? However, such a ridiculous thing is the truth here.

In the middle of the dense rat heap was a hill that stretched from the bottom to the top—a mountain of flesh and death.

The carcasses of cats, the carcasses of dogs, and even the carcasses of their dead kind, rats, naturally, also humans.

Humans throughout the city seem to have become the main source of food for these rat cubs, and humans make up the largest proportion of this mountain of corpses. The internal organs, limbs, heads, the indistinguishable and the indistinguishable were gathered together in a mess, and these corpses, which had been accumulated for an unknown period of time, exuded a putrid smell, and some of the corpses had even rotted into a puddle of minced meat, and the black carrion was crawling with white maggots, which was even more terrifying under the white light.

If hell ever exists, I'm afraid it wouldn't be the same.

This is the hell on earth.

There was a rustling sound behind me, and I subconsciously turned around, only to find that the walls on both sides of the passage I had just walked through were trembling slightly.

If those rats can build such a passage out of rat droppings to guide us out, then of course they can destroy the passage as well. Looking at the scene before me, it dawned on me that it was the rats trying to destroy the passage and surround us from behind us, turning us into their freshest food.

"Be careful! They're coming from behind! ”

Wolf Fang apparently noticed the situation as well, and as he shouted to warn us, he reached out and pulled me to the hole behind him, standing in front of me and guarding the deformed walls of the passage as he commanded us.

He said, "Forest Cliff! Come and guard this passage with me, we have medicine on us, they shouldn't attack right away! Don't leave, Mecca! You two search the inside of the cave and find the key as soon as possible! ”

"How do you find this? What if the keys were buried in the corpses or under the rats? It's impossible to find! ”

The fear in Mecca's voice was palpable, and I could even tell that he was trembling all over, especially in the injured leg. He was the only one of us who had ever been bitten by one of those rats, and probably because of that, he had a stronger fear of them than we did.

"No, it won't! You can see the place to be able to get on the surface by all means! Find out! The keys are hexagonal! This piece of paper has shapes printed on it! ”

The wolftooth didn't reply and handed over a piece of paper. It could be seen that his muscles were completely tense, and the whole person was in a state of right alert. The deformation of the walls has become more noticeable, and bulges have begun to appear on the walls, and something is about to break through the wall.

I know that Wolf Fang is a veteran player, and he can't make a mistake with this kind of empirical judgment. So I took the paper he handed me, pulled the Mecca that I was still talking about, checked the shape of the key with him, and then asked him and I to scan the cave by the light of the flashlight.

No matter where the flashlight hits, it is a disgusting sight, the stump and rotten flesh challenge my nerves, from the nausea at first to the indifference and numbness, I don't turn the direction of the flashlight, carefully inspect every place, but the key is still nowhere to be found.

"Ahh

Mecca next to me let out a scream, and I thought he had found something, and subconsciously turned my head to follow his gaze, only to find that he was shining a human head that was being gnawed by rat cubs. The human head had a familiar face, although it was now gnawed by the rats and lacked a nose and half of its ears, but I could still vaguely make out a little bit of its original appearance - it was Chen Yun's head, and just as we were looking, a pink mouse came out of her eye socket, and the eyeball was pushed out with the mouse's movements, and was held and bitten by another mouse

"Don't look at it! Find the key! Resisting the urge to repuls, I took Mecca's hand and asked him to cast the light elsewhere, "Wait! There! ”

I seemed to see something in the passing light!

I hurriedly shone my flashlight in that direction, and sure enough, I found the hexagonal key in the same direction I had just seen.

It was on the wall at the edge of the bottom of the entire space, where there was a raised stone. The key we were looking for had a rope tied to it, and that rope was hanging from the protruding stone.

"Wolf Fang! I found"

Having found the key, I turned around excitedly to tell the good news to the wolffang, but when I saw the scene behind me, I choked back in horror about the rest of the words.

Wolf Tooth and Woodcliff had retreated to the point where they were close to me and Mecca, and in front of them were a dense mass of countless adult mutant rats.

"Shh

The deep voice of the wolf's fang reached my ears, and I stood behind him, stiff and afraid to make any movement.

In the passage, the gray-black body of the mutant rat blended with the darkness, and its eyes full of ferocity and tyranny were like the lights of countless deaths, shining with a faint cold light
