Chapter 897
The rat tribe takes the lead
By the light of the flames on the second floor, Hong Tao suddenly discovered that there were many small animals in the water, swimming toward him from all directions. They were very fast, and compared to them, his black stripe in the waves was like half a brick.
In just a few seconds, Hong Tao finally saw clearly what these little animals were. Rats, hundreds of them, staring with their small round eyes and baring their teeth, ready to enjoy a sumptuous late-night snack.
If you ask Hong Tao if he was afraid at the time, he was really not afraid. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not because of the rat head tattoo on his back, but because of the zombie virus in his body. So far, he has never seen any mammal interested in zombie meat, even if the zombies have already
Even if you die, you won't eat it.
This time was no exception. The mice seemed to be able to detect the presence of the virus through some senses. They didn't even need to try the food. After getting a little closer, they immediately dispersed and ran away faster than when they came.
Now that the rats are gone, will Hong Tao be safe? This is what makes him different from most people. He rarely panics when faced with danger. It may also be that he is exhausted after encountering danger too many times, which basically does not affect his brain.
thinking.
So he held his breath in the water and asked himself a question, where do these mice come from and what do they rely on to survive? In addition to eating and drinking, oxygen is also a necessary condition for survival of mammals. Since mice can live in three floors underground
If you live well inside, you must have oxygen!
After getting this answer, Hong Tao immediately changed from a prey to a hunter. He pulled his limbs desperately and swam deeper behind the largest group of rats. At this time, he had to thank the incendiary bombs. If Niu Dafu had thrown poison gas bombs,
Hong Tao was still in a dead end. There was no light at all and he couldn't see the rats.
After swimming for dozens of meters, just when the oxygen was about to run out, the group of rats suddenly disappeared. Partly by guessing and partly by touching, Hong Tao found a gap less than half a meter wide. Even if there was a living corpse in the gap at this time
Hong Tao also has to drill, and it is better to be bitten to death than suffocated to death, especially for a person with good water skills.
Maybe it was good luck, or maybe the rat tribe really existed. Hong Tao immediately knew he was saved as soon as he got in. He took out his lighter and took a photo, and it turned out that there was something special!
This is an elevator, and it looks like it should be a cargo elevator. When the power went out, the cargo box was stuck between the third floor and the second floor. It looked like it was filled with water, but in fact, half of it was exposed to the water.
The elevator shaft is actually not safe. When there is a fire outside, it acts as a large chimney, which will suck out the hot air and clean the air below. But this elevator shaft seems to be responsible for ventilating the underground garage.
There are actually two ventilation pipes connected to the outside of the building.
It must be said that rats have a very powerful survival instinct. No matter what environment they are in, they will rely on instinct to find the safest place, and they have innate ways to avoid various natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, and fires.
At this moment, most of the rats living in the basement are probably hiding in the elevator shaft on the third floor underground. There are some in the cargo boxes, some on the shaft walls, and some on the steel cables. There are probably thousands of them densely packed.
Hong Tao took a look and realized that the host was hospitable and he couldn't be too ignorant. How could anyone come to the door for the first time without bringing a gift? He simply took out the dry food he brought with him, asked for a table in the elevator cargo box, and walked away.
Son.
Facts have proved that it is not strange to be polite to many people, and neither is the mouse. The ancients also said that eating people with short mouths takes short hands. When the mice ate Hong Tao's food, the relationship between the two parties immediately changed from being wary of each other to being happy. Of course, for
The rats were still not used to the smell of the zombie virus on this high-roller, so they tried not to get too close.
According to Hong Tao's wishes, it would be best to wait for two days and wait for the troops on the ground to withdraw before going out. In this way, he would naturally become a dead man again, and he died to save more people, which is standard.
A great hero can leave a good reputation if he is not protected.
Without Zhang Ke and the others worrying about him, he can move south more easily and go to the Southeastern League to see the local customs. If life is easier, stay there for a while. If there are still all kinds of sins, then continue
A hero's style, a joyful tossing.
The plan was good, but it was a pity that it couldn't catch up with the changes. Zhang Ke was also stubborn. He walked around and found no bones but refused to leave. He insisted on sending someone to the third underground floor that was filled with sewage to take a look.
This move was the first thing the mice discovered. They suddenly became irritable and swam out of the elevator shaft one after another. After a while, they swam back again. Their hands were empty, and some of them still had rags in their mouths.
Hong Tao picked up a piece and looked at it carefully. From the color and texture, he roughly knew what it was. Military uniform, the uniform of the East Asia Alliance! Obviously, these rats were not out for patrol but for sneak attacks. Someone broke into their territory and they didn't bring them with them.
Gift!
If this were in the movie, Hong Daxia would not like to see innocent soldiers being harmed like this, so he must take action to stop it. He might even stand up again for the sake of other people's lives and take the initiative to expose his whereabouts.
It's a pity that this script is an exception. Not only did he not find it unbearable for a living person to be bitten by rats, he also encouraged more rats to go out to defend the enemy, trying to use the ferocious counterattack of the rats to dissuade Zhang Ke from the idea of searching to the end.
But this time he miscalculated again. Zhang Ke not only did not retreat, but also killed a lot of rats. This group of rats also failed to live up to expectations. Before the foreign enemies were eliminated, they hurriedly gnawed on the corpses of their companions.
Seeing this situation, Hong Tao knew that he would be found sooner or later if he kept hiding like this, so he might as well take the initiative and firmly hold his fate in his own hands. As long as his luck was not too bad, he could easily escape without anyone noticing.
!
The specific method was to steal a beam and replace it with a pillar. He sneaked out with the rats, hid behind a pillar and attacked a Marine who went into the water for search and rescue. He changed into someone else's clothes and swam back to the second floor openly, looking for an opportunity to carry a stretcher and trying to sneak out.
community, using the cover of darkness to escape.
But God's calculations are not as good as those of humans. Hong Tao only planned on Zhang Ke. He did not expect that Jiao Qiao and Zhou Yuan would also come to the scene in person. As a result, they were recognized before leaving the house, which was a standard failure.
"Sometimes I think you are too weird and scary. You were actually saved by a group of rats, but they still didn't eat you. If Jiao Qiao knew about this, he might say something weird again. By the way, you were saved by a group of rats.
Where are the soldiers you stripped off?"
After listening to the story, the goosebumps on Zhou Yuan's body have not completely dissipated. Thousands of water rats... Although Hong Tao did not deliberately describe their cruelty, he could feel the scene just by imagining it.
"Dead... I stabbed him to death. Now there may even be no bones. The teeth of those rats are like crushers. They even chewed up the steel plates of the cargo boxes and left traces everywhere."
"..." Zhou Yuan remained silent for several seconds.
"He must die, even if he goes to save me, he has no choice but to die. I can't escape until he dies, and leaving him alive is even more harmful. He will be torn apart by rats. Do you want to ask, what if one day we
We are in danger and only one can escape. Will I do the same to you?
To be honest, I really don’t know the answer. The specific choice depends on my mood at the time. The probability is about 50-50. What about it, do you still want me to go back now? I am ruthless but I don’t recognize my relatives. What if you break the rules one day?
, there won’t even be one to intercede!”
I can only say sorry to that soldier Hong Tao. He couldn't explain why he made such a choice. Ordinarily, someone who is willing to take risks alone and save hundreds of lives by himself should not be so cruel and forcefully do it.
Killing a soldier who saves oneself is a bit repaying kindness with revenge.
But he just did it, and there was no psychological burden, as if he thought it should be like this. If we don't explore the difference between sacrificing oneself to save oneself and sacrificing others to save oneself, it may be that the former seems dangerous, but is not actually fatal, or that
The chance of survival is very high, but the latter is really life-threatening.
"It's not like I haven't experienced your rule. Even the thorns like the Niu family brothers, Zhang Tao, and Wang Jian were not removed and were reused. What else do I have to worry about?" Obviously, Zhou Yuan also
