Chapter 1042: Mutant Rat Army

?"Hey……"
Looking at Lin Cheng who looked unbelievable, the old man couldn't help sighing, "Forgot what I just said? Discipline! This group of rats has extremely strict discipline, and this time of day is the time when they gather and converge. At this time, no matter what these rats are doing or encountering, they must immediately put aside what they are doing and rush to the central square in the city to meet! So don’t say it’s you at this time, even if a huge piece of cheese is placed In front of them, they won't take a look, understand?!"
"This...really?"
After listening to the old man’s explanation, Lin Cheng was shocked. The biggest difference between people and things lies in the right restraint. Even if a person faces the temptation to fight again, as long as it may threaten his life, then he is doing this. When things happen, they will think twice, but animals don't think so much. Even if they have suffered countless times, as long as the other party changes a little bit, these animals will easily be hooked again.
But the behavior of these giant rats has completely broken this rule. Since Xiaolincheng, he has heard many stories about rats stealing food, some drowned in oil tanks, some were tricked into rubber shoes and fell to death, so he always thought Rats are extremely greedy and wretched animals, but the group of mice encountered today suddenly made him realize that when animals have an IQ comparable to humans, then apart from the difference in body size, what they do will not How stupid than humans!
"Understand?"
Looking at the thoughtful look on Lin Cheng’s face, the old man smiled bitterly and said: "The reason why I have to drag you in is because the batch of mice that have just passed is the last batch. If I don’t drag you in again, When they disperse and come back, it is when you are killed! These mice have greatly improved in their sense of smell and hearing in the process of evolution, so even if I get injured when I drag you in, I must Close the secret door and make no noise, otherwise once they notice our existence, let alone this stone secret door, even a steel-forged secret door will be destroyed by the giant rat army. Then the two of us will wait for the corpse wilderness to be gnawed away!"
"...Is it so scary?"
Hearing the old man said the consequences were so serious, Lin Cheng didn't believe it. He had seen too many powerful monsters and mutant beasts, and countless people had fought against him, and he had never seen any existence that could cramp him. .
"Have!"
Seeing Lin Cheng's indifferent expression, the old man's expression suddenly became solemn, "I don't know how powerful you are, but since you can reach this city over such a long distance, you are not a simple character. But, Have you ever thought about a question? These mice, which have not encountered any natural enemies since the end of the world, are under unfettered self-evolution, how many powerful characters have been awakened in them? Just like just now, I was catching you in Before, you should be looking for the hole that the giant rats drilled out? I tell you, this hole exists, and it is in the corridor outside, but you can never find it! Because this hole has long been trapped by rats The rat with illusion ability is sealed, unless it takes the initiative to release it, or don't talk about you and me, even those of its kind don't even think about finding where the door is!"
Speaking of this, the old man may be thirsty after saying too much in one breath, "gumming" and "gumming" and then said after filling a large glass of water: "And this is just one of the giant rats that has awakened! I don’t know exactly how many rats there are in this city, but according to my estimation, there are at least hundreds of thousands! With such a large-scale ‘rat army’, do you think that once it gets the attention of these guys, how many legs do you have enough to escape, and how capable is it that you can make a way out of these rat army? "
"……Ok."
As the old man's tone became more and more serious, Lin Cheng finally realized the seriousness of the problem. He now finally understands what this old man who seems to be quite capable is afraid of. He can ignore one or two mutant mice. In my eyes, even ten and twenty can be killed with hard work, but what about two hundred and two thousand?
Quantitative changes cause qualitative changes. This sentence may not apply to all situations, but it absolutely applies to the current situation. Under the endless attack of mutant rats, let alone this old man, even Lin Cheng himself has no confidence. Able to escape!
"In this way, I was indeed saved by you."
Thinking of what he did when he first arrived in this city, Lin Cheng couldn't help feeling a cold sweat coming out of his back. He didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be if he acted harder. After all, the old man just said, The formation of giant rats with only illusion ability can make him try his best to find the mouse hole. Then if they really attracted the attention of the rats early, then God knows where he will be now. , Maybe it's still gone...
Gently shook his head, the old man said indifferently: "It can't be said that you can't be saved. The reason why I took you here at risk is that although it also means saving your life, it is more important. , Once you go to war with those rats who found you in the corridor outside, then my secret room is very likely to be exposed in your battle, by then I regret it will be too late..."
"Ah……"
Listening to what the old man said about the bright ~EbookFREE.me~ Lin Cheng has a doubled affection for this guy, because even if he really clashed with those mice, it is impossible for him to stay in this narrow space to keep himself He is at a disadvantage, so no matter how he fights with the rats, it is unlikely to affect each other, but since this old man can survive so long in this dead city full of mutant rats, he should be so careful. .
"Since you dare to speak now, does that mean that the group of mice has finished the meeting and has now gone back to each house to find each mother?"
Since the old man was unwilling to talk more about the matter of saving or not, Lin Cheng didn't force it, and directly changed the topic.
"...Not necessarily."
After frowning and thinking for a moment, the old man shook his head and said, "If such a large number of rats want to survive or even evolve, they need massive amounts of food! Actually, there are cruel rules of survival among these rats. After every meeting, most of these mice need to look for prey, and once two groups or even three or four groups of mice are looking at the same prey, then it will surely trigger a fierce battle! And now it is them. When searching for prey, as long as we don't make too much noise, we won't easily attract their attention if we want to."
