Wang Chengye fell into a long silence. He was still tightly bound hand and foot by Qiao He and completely unable to move. But Wang Chengye knew what wrong things he had done in the past; he was a coward.

He's too cowardly!

If only he had been a little more clear-headed back then and had completely suppressed the rat inside his body!

Then the tragedy wouldn't have happened, and P City wouldn't be in its current state.

Wang Chengye's eyes were filled with pain. He gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Qiao, thank you."

"Thank you for waking me up. I now know why we're here, and what that monster you saw outside was..."

Wang Chengye's tone was very low. He seemed to be someone who had achieved enlightenment, not caring about anything and not wanting to invest any other emotions.

"I'm sorry, I've always lived in my own safe zone. I thought that would make me safe, and that everyone could find happiness here. But it was all just my imagination. The buildings here are real, but it's also true that no one can survive here except me..."

Wang Chengye murmured, "It's a good thing you didn't tell me your name back then, otherwise you would definitely be lost here like me."

"The stomach acid of those mutated rats is poisonous, and the toxic gas they emit can cause hallucinations. So the apartments and cities you see are not nearly as beautiful as they appear to you; they are all fake... even the sky and clouds are fake."

"You can let me go now. I've regained my senses and won't help that rat eat anymore!" Wang Chengye almost shouted. His eyes were red. If he was the one who destroyed the entire city, then he couldn't let innocent people like Qiao He suffer like this anymore!

He wanted to lead them out of here.

Escape from inside that rat's belly!

Qiao He was certain that the man was telling the truth, so she loosened the ropes binding him. These ropes were obviously no match for Wang Chengye, so it seemed that he was truly awake and would not attack her.

Wang Chengye said, "Weren't you wearing a protective suit when you came in? Do you still have one?"

"You'd better put them on now, or you'll continue to be attacked by poison gas and acid," Wang Chengye said in a low voice. "I'm sorry, I can't help you see the true appearance of this place right now. You'd better follow my footsteps. Although this place is not in the stomach of the mutated rats, the poison gas will still attack you."

Qiao He immediately took out protective suits, night vision goggles, and oxygen cylinders from her spatial storage, put them on, and then hurriedly went next door to put them on the kittens as well.

Wang Chengye helped Qiao He awaken Bo Shiwu, Shen Huai, Bai Tiantian, and Li Zong.

When the four people woke up, they couldn't believe that they had actually entered the stomach of a rat, and that all the wonderful surroundings were fake.

Qiao He spent the shortest amount of time explaining to them, and also mentioned Wang Chengye's identity.

The four of them quickly accepted it and immediately put on the protective gear that Qiao He had given them.

After doing all this, Wang Chengye said in a low voice, "You'd better hold hands and don't separate from me."

“I have a way to get you out of here, and the rats won’t find out,” Wang Chengye said in a deep voice.

Qiao He nodded: "Okay, take us away now, let's get out of here first."

Wang Chengye replied, "Come on, hold on tight!"

Then Shen Huai grasped Wang Chengye's hand, and the others took turns holding each other's hands tightly. Li Zong subconsciously tried to grab Qiao He's hand, but Bo Shiwu slapped it away. Then, this man very cunningly grabbed Qiao He first.

Li Zong: "..." Fine, you're the boss, I can't beat you.

The next second, Qiao He said, "Bo Shiwu, you hold the kids, I'll cover the rear!"

Bo Shiwu: "?! I'll cover the rear, you go to the front."

Qiao He shook her head, "No, we must protect the babies first."

Ultimately, Qiao He cares most about the safety of the children.

Bo Shiwu's eyes darkened for a moment. "I'll cover the rear with you. Bai Tiantian, you go to the front."

During the day, Tian remained silent and obediently let things pass.

She felt that she was just a tool to Qiao He and the others; they could move her wherever they needed her.

So Qiao He and Bo Shiwu went to the back. Bo Shiwu insisted that Qiao He stand in front, and he would cover the rear.

Qiao He didn't try to take it from him, but felt a slight warmth in her heart. She knew that Bo Shiwu was worried about her getting hurt and that she wouldn't be able to leave with Wang Chengye in the end.

Everything is ready.

Wang Chengye's method was very simple and brutal: he directly pierced the mutated rat's internal organs and flesh, and then forcefully squeezed through the sticky flesh to burrow out, just like a leech sucking blood, desperately burrowing into human flesh, while they burrowed outwards.

Fortunately, the mutated rat was so large that even if it felt slightly uncomfortable or had some internal pain, it wouldn't notice it at all. In its eyes, its stomach was already full, and the food was enough for it to survive for decades. In the future, if any animals or humans appeared here, it could just catch them and eat them.

It needs to rest and sleep now.

Unbeknownst to it, Wang Chengye and his group were about to escape from here!

After an unknown amount of time and effort, Qiao He finally emerged from the pressure. The strange pressure and the feeling of soft flesh pressing against her body vanished instantly.

Qiao He felt completely refreshed.

Wang Chengye shushed him, then lowered his voice, "Alright, you guys should leave now. I need to settle things with this mutated rat!"

Qiao He was slightly surprised. "What, settle it? Is there anything we can do?"

Wang Chengye said solemnly, "No, you will only be in danger if you stay here. Leave!"

"That way, I won't be hampered in my fight against it."

Wang Chengye said in a deep voice, "Miss Qiao, I only have one thing I want to ask you to help me with. If, I mean if I fail, I die."

"But the mutated rat is still alive, so when the time comes, you will kill it for me!"

"It will only be a menace if it lives. It has devoured all the humans, plants and animals around it. If this continues, who knows what kind of terrifying monster it will become."

“You don’t want to face such a monster again in the future, do you? So kill it while it’s still weak!” Wang Chengye said in a low voice.

He glanced at the group and said, “I know you are all very capable. Once I destroy the mutated rat’s internal structure, you can exploit its weakness and kill it completely! If I can subdue the mutated rat by myself, then you won’t need to risk your lives.”

"But what if... what if I can't make it? I hope you can finish me off, okay?" Wang Chengye said softly, his eyes filled with sorrow.

Qiao He had no reason to refuse.

Indeed, if the mutated rats are allowed to continue evolving like this, they will definitely threaten the people in the base in the future, including Qiao He himself!
