Chapter 276 Whose mouse is more than half a meter long!

The four of them were discussing the matter animatedly, their hearts aching with excitement as they thought about the rations that would soon be delivered to their doorsteps.

However, when the door was opened during the safe period the next day, everyone was dumbfounded.

The sun was still shining outside, the temperature was just right, and everything was calm. If Shi Jiaojiao hadn't heard some noises with her own ears yesterday, and Qin Jun's phone call hadn't reminded everyone, I'm afraid everyone would have doubted whether the giant rat had actually appeared.

Shi Jiaojiao first glanced around. Although there was no movement around, she could not let her guard down.

She took out the electric baton that she had prepared yesterday, and Mu Ci held two extra helmets in his hand.

This type of helmet was the most common type before the apocalypse, but it was more than enough to protect against the bites of giant rats.

Wang Jia thanked him and took the helmet. As for the stun baton, she only took one and threw it to Tang Wei. She had bought one from Shi Jiaojiao when she was in Tiantai Community.

Tang Wei weighed the electric baton in his hand, a little puzzled: "Could it be that the giant rat has disappeared? Did this disaster end so quickly?"

Shi Jiaojiao shook her head. She couldn't guess the reason.

But according to Qin Jun’s phone call yesterday, giant rats are rampant in the city, so how could the mountains be safe and sound?

Wang Jia put on his helmet and said, "Maybe there are not many people on the mountain, and the smell of human flesh is too light, so it is not attractive enough."

She was just joking, but after she said it, she saw Shi Jiaojiao looking at her and nodding thoughtfully.

Even locusts eat humans, so they are not naive enough to think that giant rats are vegetarians.

Since they are both cannibals, of course they will run to places where humans gather, such as urban areas.

Tang Wei also thought this conjecture made sense, and came over: "What should we do now? We can't just cut meat to attract rats."

Before anyone could answer, everyone heard Mu Ci's slightly cold voice.

"No, they're already here."

Everyone immediately looked in the direction of Mu Ci's gaze, and this one glance made everyone gasp.

Tang Wei's hand holding the electric baton couldn't help but tremble, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, who said that giant rats are only as big as cats?"

A trace of collapse flashed in Wang Jia's eyes and she swallowed silently. She thought to herself that she had killed many people and felt that she would not be easily scared, but at this moment she still felt a little weak in the legs.

When we were discussing yesterday, no one had seen the giant rat with their own eyes, but they were able to survive the apocalypse until now because they were cautious people. They always remained vigilant and never dared to underestimate the mutants that appeared after the apocalypse.

But the giant rat in front of me is too outrageous!

How the hell is this a mouse!

Whose mouse is more than half a meter long!

They saw five black mice not far ahead, staring at them with a pair of red eyes.

Their faces are slightly pointed, which makes them no different from the mice before the apocalypse.

But looking at their thick, long, hairless tails that constantly slap the ground and make a "pa pa" sound, no one would underestimate their attack power.

Shi Jiaojiao pursed her lips, staring at the giant rat, then lowered her voice and said, "Safety first. If you can't catch it, hide. Don't lose your life."

The other three nodded, then carefully dispersed and stood.

If they get too close together and the giant rats rush over all at once, they may not be able to escape unharmed. It would be better for them to disperse so that it would be easier to kill the rats.

Just when they took a few steps, the rat on the opposite side suddenly rushed up.

There were five mice, and maybe because Tang Wei’s meat tasted better, two of them rushed towards him.

But no one dared to be distracted now, so they could only deal with the giant rat in front of them before they could help Tang Wei.

After the giant rat mutated, it had amazing jumping ability. It used its hind legs to pounce on Shi Jiaojiao's head.

The power of the electric baton in Shi Jiaojiao's hand had already been turned to maximum. She swung it hard at the giant rat that was flying towards her.

Even if it can't be killed by electricity, it can be killed by being smashed.

Fortunately, the giant rat has not yet mutated into Pikachu, and can neither withstand the electric shock nor Shi Jiaojiao's strength.

After a sharp and shrill scream, the giant rat in front of him fell limply to the ground.

Shi Jiaojiao stepped forward, took out the small knife from her pocket, and chopped off the giant rat's head neatly, then went to help others.

Wang Jia was good at dealing with people, but he was a little overwhelmed when facing the giant rat.

There was no way. The giant rat was too fast and could jump too high. It could easily jump onto you if you were not careful.

She was self-aware and knew that it would be difficult for her to deal with the giant rat, so she simply hid. However, during the process of hiding, she kept gritting her teeth, for fear that the noise she made would affect others.

Fortunately, Shi Jiaojiao resolved the problem quickly and came over to help as soon as she finished her own task.

The two of them attacked from both sides and finally killed the giant rat.

As for Tang Wei, he felt a little embarrassed facing the two rats alone.

It’s not that I can’t beat the mouse, but I have to kill it while making sure I don’t get caught or bitten.

Because of these concerns, I felt a little hesitant when it came time to take action.

However, with the help of Mu Ci, the giant rat was quickly captured.

After it was over, Wang Jia’s face turned pale, his legs went limp, and he sat down on the ground.

Tang Wei also stood there, gasping for breath.

They all underestimated the strength of the giant rats. Fortunately, they were only facing five of them this time.

If ten or twenty of them came at once, they might not be able to survive unscathed.

Shi Jiaojiao didn't bother to comfort him and said, "Quick, clean up the meat. The bloody smell here may attract another group of giant rats. We may not be able to deal with them."

Hearing this, Wang Jia immediately got up from the ground.

Mu Ci and Tang Wei were responsible for skinning the meat, while Shi Jiaojiao and Wang Jia were responsible for cutting the meat into small pieces and dividing it into two portions.

The remaining internal organs, fur, head, claws, etc. were all burned cleanly.

After finishing, no one dared to stay outside for long and hurried back to their own caves.

You have to know that the longer you stay outside, the longer the smell of blood will linger.

Although it is logically impossible for mice to chew through the mountain wall, and their cave has an iron door blocking it, it is not a good idea for them to block the entrance.

After returning to the cave, Shi Jiaojiao picked up the intercom and reminded the two: "Giant rat meat must be cooked at high temperature when eaten. It is better to spend more firewood than to eat it yourself and get into trouble."

Wang Jia said, "Well, I know. I plan to make all the meat into jerky today."

The temperature outside is fluctuating too much right now. Although there is a freezer, it is safer to make the meat into jerky quickly.

This is the meat they risked their lives to get. If it goes bad, she will vomit to death.

Shi Jiaojiao didn't have any objection to this. She had thrown the meat she brought back into the space as soon as possible.

Even though it only took half an hour to capture the giant rat for extra meat, we had to concentrate the entire time, so everyone was a little tired after it was over and hung up the intercom after a brief chat.

Wang Jia was lying on the bed and suddenly said, "I think we should practice more."

Tang Wei nodded.

In fact, the two did not slack off after moving to the mountain, and they often practiced against each other.

However, their sparring focuses on strength training and how to fight against the enemy.

But this time, they realized the importance of speed. At the same time, they also saw the difference between themselves and Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci.

If they were alone today, they wouldn't be able to catch the rat, and it would be a problem whether they could escape from the giant rat's mouth.
