Chapter 21: The Rats Hunt
The huge head flew up from my body and was grabbed by me. At the same time, a crystal nucleus rolled out of the corpse of the mutated zombie beetle.
When the crystal nucleus entered the body, I obviously felt something strange, different from the crystal nucleus that I had swallowed before, this crystal nucleus from the zombie beetle that mutated again did not cause any change in its own strength after entering the body, but activated something in the body, causing it to transform.
When I felt this transformation, I almost exclaimed that my genes were actually transforming.
"Why is this crystal nucleus not boosting my energy, but causing my genes to metamorphose? Isn't it a crystal nucleus? Or what's out of the ordinary? ”
I meditated, but I couldn't understand why I was devouring that crystal nucleus, and my genes were changing.
The crystal nucleus that was swallowed from the re-evolved beetle was limited, and the metamorphosis of the genes only lasted for a few seconds before stopping. And it was in these few seconds that I learned a lot.
Evolution: 18 percent, one evolution
The level of evolution has increased by one percentage point, and my strength has taken another small step forward.
"Sun Yalei, Xin'er, gentle, hurry down and cut off the heads of these mutant zombie beetles, it's not safe here." Awakened from the ecstasy, he shouted while holding the treasure knife and trying his best to dissect the worm brain in his hand.
The three people upstairs didn't care about it at this time, and hurriedly jumped down from the upstairs and cut off the heads of the mutated zombie beetles that fell to the ground with their treasure knives.
didn't stop, walked straight to the gentle side, cheered her on. In the room in front of him, there are more than 30 mutant zombie beetles, and there are no less than 20 alive, which is a large number of crystal nuclei, which can be devoured by Sun Yalei and the three of them, which is enough to multiply the strength of the three of them.
How does gentleness behave? Good or bad, she is the closest person I am to now, and the first thing I think about is her.
In the last days, neither the harsh reality nor myself allow meekness to become a veritable oil bottle. Even if it is by coercive means, let her grow up, at least let her have some ability to protect herself.
"Gentle, uncle has given you a task today, I hope you can complete it." Walking up to the gentle side, I looked at her and said solemnly.
The little girl tilted her head, looked at me with big eyes, and asked curiously, "Uncle, what task?" ”
I moved my gaze to a mutant zombie beetle nearby, and said in a noncommittal tone: "Actually, it's simple, cut off the head of the mutant zombie beetle on this ground, at least six, can you do it?" ”
To my surprise, the little girl nodded, and there was no trace of hesitation on her face, "Uncle, don't worry, gentleness can do it." ”
After she finished speaking, she walked to the nearest mutant zombie beetle with the treasure knife, and used all her strength to slash at the weakest neck of the mutant zombie beetle.
With the knife in her hand, the treasure knife broke through the leather armor on the neck of the mutant zombie beetle, and sank deeply, because her strength was limited, and she was unable to cut it off with a single sword.
She gritted her teeth and pulled out the treasure knife, a little unbearable flashed on her face, but her hand did not stop, and she held the treasure knife again and slashed down, the neck of the mutant zombie beetle was still not broken, and two more knives cut off the neck of the mutant zombie beetle.
Watching the little girl cut off the head of the mutant zombie beetle, I was completely relieved, so I withdrew my eyes from her body and began to scavenge for the orange crystal.
Because they knew that there might be danger around them at any time, the speed of the four people was very fast, especially me, and every time Sun Yalei and the three of them cut off the head of a mutant zombie beetle, they followed closely behind, cutting it open and searching for the orange crystal in it.
"It's not safe here, we need to get out of here." Simply browsed the secondary store, got up and rushed upstairs to put the Browning heavy machine gun into the mimic bracer, and put it away when passing by the mutant zombie beetle that evolved again, this mutant zombie beetle that evolved again The shell is full of treasures, how can you lose it.
The four of them, who had greatly increased their strength, quickly left the storefront, and then turned around, and the mess was there, the corpses of mutated zombie beetles all over the ground, and the green liquid merged into a stream, and it actually flowed out of the storefront.
As soon as they left the storefront, the faces of the four changed color at the same time, and not far behind them, a horde of humans ran towards them like crazy.
There were no more than one or two hundred of them, men, women, old and young, all of them were yellow-skinned and thin-skinned, and they looked obviously malnourished. Everyone rushed towards me and where they were, their faces full of fear and despair.
"Tut, seeing so many people at one time is rare in the last days. What's wrong with these people? It looked like something was chasing them. It's rare to see so many of the same kind, Sun Yalei couldn't help but say.
My pupils were slightly frowning, and my sharp eyes looked behind me through the crowd, where a small hundred mutant zombie rats were chasing the group of humans in front of me, led by a mutant zombie rat that had evolved again.
What puzzled me was that these rats were obviously much faster than these humans, but instead of killing them all, they hung behind them, as if to drive them away.
Seeing this scene, two words suddenly flashed in my head, "hunting" That's right, these mutant zombie rats are hunting.
This is just my speculation, it is not known for sure now, the surrounding situation is not clear? All that's left to do now is to make sure if there are other hordes of mutant zombie rats around, if there are any humans, and if there are, then this is a grand hunt for mutant zombie rats.
The crowd behind me rushed towards me like a torrent, and from time to time someone in the crowd would fall to the ground, and then be bitten off by the mutant zombie rat behind him in a painful wail.
Every time a human is bitten off the neck, a smaller mutated zombie rat stops and follows the corpse behind the rat colony, running unhurriedly.
"Boss, what should I do?" As a younger brother, Sun Yalei still has the duty of a younger brother, although he also knows that the danger is approaching, he is still the first to ask his boss for advice.
I frowned slightly, the crowd was getting closer and closer, and I was hesitating whether to follow the crowd or go alone.
Follow the crowd, the group of mutant zombie rats behind you will also bite to death, and in the end it is likely to fall into the encirclement of mutant zombie rats, if you avoid these people and move forward alone, the target should be relatively small, but the mutant zombie rats are afraid that they will not let go of these four people, and the danger will come earlier.
Comparing the safest of the two, I decided to avoid these people for the time being, trying to find a way out of here, hoping that it wasn't as I thought.
"Go, be gentle on your uncle's back." With a soft snort, he carried the gentleness on his back and ran forward first. Sun Yalei and Dong Xin'er followed closely and rushed forward.
Gentle is only fifty or sixty pounds, with my physical fitness, running on her back does not affect the speed at all, if it weren't for Sun Yalei and Dong Xin'er, it would have been gone.
Sun Yalei's evolution has reached 14 percent, and he has devoured the crystal nuclei of ten mutant zombie beetles, running with all his might, and his speed is also quite impressive.
We also don't care if there will be hidden danger in the surrounding grass, and we want to get rid of those who are fleeing behind us in the shortest possible time.
"Hurry, hurry, just get out of this street and we'll be safe." I didn't think much about it, I just kept encouraging the two people behind me. Now I only think about avoiding these people behind me, and only in this way can I have a chance to avoid the hordes of mutated zombie rats.
Not far away, there is a fork in the road, and once you get there, it is possible to avoid the crowds, and as for the rest of the matter, you will think about it at that time.
At a distance of 100 meters, we only took no more than a second of our body, and the fork was in front of me, and I plunged into this fork from the main road, followed by Sun Yalei, who had a slightly heavy breath.
"It's not safe here, keep running" is the only thing I said, I can't hesitate, I can't stop here, I don't know if those people behind me will turn with me, but it's very likely.
Only by completely disappearing from the sight of those people can the four of them get rid of them completely, so they can't stop, they have to run forward.
In this way, the three of us ran as fast as they could, and then, like a beast capturing its prey, jumped in front of a relatively hidden building.
"Rest, hurry up and rest" I didn't consume much physical strength for the run just now, but Sun Yalei and Dong Xin'er behind me were already out of breath, if they didn't replenish their physical strength, they would encounter danger again, and they would not have sufficient physical strength to guarantee them, and they would not be able to escape at all.
When Sun Yalei and Dong Xin'er were resting, I was not idle, and quickly rushed to the top floor and looked down there.
Now the most important thing to know is whether this is a hunting area for mutant zombie rats, and if so, how many mutant zombie rats and how many humans are there.
On the top floor, I carefully hid my body and carefully observed my surroundings through the telescope. In the telescope, human figures and large groups of mutant zombie rats will constantly appear, and all the streets in this urban area are blocked by mutant zombie rats.
Driven by mutant zombie rats, thousands of humans fled to the south of the city, and among the tall buildings, small teams of mutant zombie rats searched the buildings for possible lurking humans.
There are hundreds of mutant zombie rats in front of him, mixed with a certain number of big rats that are close to re-evolving, and even there are quite a few mutant zombie rats that have re-evolved.
This is definitely not a mutant zombie rat group, the end of the world has only come for two months, even if it is the largest mutant zombie rat group, it is impossible to have so many mutant zombie rats.
"A few mutant zombie rat groups cooperate in hunting? Otherwise, it would not have been possible to have so many mutated zombie rats. It's no longer safe here, and you have to leave immediately, find a weak spot as fast as you can, and get out of this hunting ground. "After confirming the conjecture in my heart, my face looked unusually gloomy, and under the hunt of so many mutated zombie rats, even I didn't have much confidence to escape safely with the three of them.
I even prepared for the worst in my heart, if it really came to the worst situation, I could only give up Sun Yalei and even Dong Xin'er, and leave with gentleness, only in this way could there be a greater possibility of escape.
