Chapter 101 Mutant Rat

After leaving the house, Jiang Rong flashed back into the space again.

"Xuan Ling?" Jiang Rong called out tentatively, looking at the child in front of him who was about the same age as Ling Yu and had long flowing bright green hair.

"Well, you're finally awake." Xuan Ling's expression, which had been worried for three months, finally relaxed a little. Otherwise, when Qin Sang woke up, he didn't know how he would feel if he found that he was awake, but this human was still sleeping.

Overall, Xuan Ling was still very happy that Jiang Rong woke up.

Next, we have to wait for Qin Sang.

"How is he?" Jiang Rong pointed at the person sleeping on the single bed.

Qin Sang's complexion still looked as pale as ever, and he seemed to have lost a lot of weight. There was almost no flesh on his face, and his cheeks were a little sunken, making him look like a seriously ill person.

"I won't die, but I don't know when I will wake up." Xuan Ling told the truth.

Jiang Rong nodded, his expression slightly relaxed. As long as he wasn't going to die, it would be fine. As for sleeping, he could sleep as long as he wanted. He probably wouldn't be able to get out for a while anyway.

Now just take a good sleep and recuperate.

After the previous battle, Jiang Rong felt that Qin Sang’s training over the past few months was probably wasted. Even if he woke up later, he would probably have to start all over again.

"Did you give him anything to eat? I saw he was badly injured before."

Although several months have passed, Jiang Rong still remembers how Qin Sang was covered in wounds and almost out of breath at that time.

In the moment before she fell asleep, she was still wondering whether he would die.

"Yes, I fed him some miscellaneous potions. This was all thanks to the fact that you looted a lot of things from those people before. I found some things that could be used in them, but these can only help him recover from external injuries at most." Xuan Ling said with a look of slight contempt and disgust.

If it weren't for the conspiracy of these poor guys, he and Qin Sang wouldn't have ended up here, where they couldn't even find medicine to treat their injuries.

In addition, if Qin Sang had not had such a strong physique, he would have been able to recover slowly on his own despite being so seriously injured. As the guardian spirit who had made a contract of life and death with him, Xuan Ling felt that he would probably be dead by now.

After that, the space was silent for a moment, and Jiang Rong's voice sounded again.

"Where on earth are you two from?"

This was the first time she asked questions about their origins.

She didn't ask at first because it had nothing to do with her. The relationship between her and these two people was at most mutually beneficial.

She didn't ask later because she didn't have the habit of prying into other people's privacy. As friends who had known each other for some time, she was waiting for the time when they would be willing to speak up themselves.

Of course, it doesn’t matter even if they never say it, the jade talisman space can allow them to hide forever.

But now, their enemies are no longer just their own enemies.

Those people regarded human life as worthless and could easily and without any burden sacrifice the lives of people from several villages or even an entire county at the same time.

If no one could stop these people, Jiang Rong felt that there would be no need for natural disasters. As long as they wanted, the whole world could become their playground for killing.

At the same time, there was the person who was not afraid and even smiled at him before his death. Jiang Rong also felt that things were not that simple.

Plus the white light and the orcs she saw in her dream when she was sleeping...

In summary, the purpose of those people might not be as simple as Qin Sang and the others.

In the world outside the space, there are her family and friends. For these people, Jiang Rong cannot turn a deaf ear to the outside world, not ask anything, and know nothing.

As the saying goes, only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

Although it may not be possible, at least there is a direction.

Xuan Ling was not surprised by Jiang Rong's question at this moment. If he had to say what he was surprised about, he felt that it was not easy for Jiang Rong to ask this question now.

At this time, Lingyu also jumped with all his strength, and then jumped onto the small bed where his master was, and then took out two handfuls of melon seeds from his master's pile of supplies.

"Master, eat and listen at the same time."

She stuffed a handful of melon seeds into Jiang Rong's hand, then began to crack the seeds and eat the melon seriously.

Jiang Rong holds a glass of milk matcha flavored melon seeds...

Xuan Ling coughed twice and was about to talk about everything...

Half an hour later.

There was a small blue trash can at the feet of Jiang Rong and Ling Yu, which was half filled with melon seed shells.

The two, one big and one small, had a great time eating the melons.

Jiang Rong's eyes were full of 'pity' when she looked at Xuan Ling. She reached out and touched Xuan Ling's bright green head: "Thank you two for your hard work. It's not easy."

Jiang Rong comforted her in a joking tone. Her clear and bright almond-shaped eyes seemed calm, but in fact, there was anger hidden in her eyes.

At this moment, there was a lot of complex meaning in her eyes when she looked at Qin Sang's pale and thin face.

*

A day later, Jiang Rong drove his broken minivan, which had suffered a lot since the end of the world, and accelerated all the way to the Xijiao community in the county town.

At this time, there was drizzling rain on the surrounding roads and the air was very humid.

I don’t know if it’s because that group of people released too much polluting energy in the county a few months ago.

The mutant beasts that Jiang Rong saw along the way were all very ugly, so ugly that it made people feel sick.

In addition, there are not too many mutant beasts.

Since we entered the county town until now, only a few mutant rats have occasionally jumped out of the ditch and rammed into the car like crazy.

Although Jiang Rong's van was small and shabby, it was very sturdy. There were a few more dents on the exterior of the van, but it did not affect normal driving.

So Jiang Rong didn't even get out of the car and drove all the way to the downstairs of Xijiao Community.

She had asked Xin Jue to buy the four apartments on the top floor of the building before the natural disaster. Although he had only paid the down payment, at least he had the keys, and the decoration was basically the same as at home.

In one of the apartments, she, Qi Hao, and Uncle Zhao lived in it for more than a month.

At this moment, Jiang Rong only knew the approximate route that Xin Jue and his group would take to the north. If they had set out a month ago, it would probably not be easy for her to find them now.

In addition, with so many elderly people and children at home, Xin Jue and his family chose to go north at this time.

Jiang Rong didn't know what happened, so he felt a little anxious.

But she also knew that it was useless to be anxious at the moment and she had to calm down.

Before going north to look for someone, Jiang Rong felt that he should go to the apartment upstairs to take a look first.

What if... he didn’t leave?

Although it feels like there is little hope.

Jiang Rong unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car, closed the door, and then walked towards the gate of the community.

Before the apocalypse, everyone in and out of this building used access cards, but now the power has been out in the community for a long time, and Jiang Rong obviously cannot enter through the main gate.

At this moment, Jiang Rong missed Uncle Zhao very much. The earth-related ability was really convenient.

Jiang Rong walked around the community and finally went to the underground parking lot. She remembered that there were stairs going up there, and the door was a manual push-pull type. If all else failed, she would have to break the lock by force.

The door to the underground parking lot was open, but looking in from the outside, it was pitch black inside.

I don’t know if it’s because it’s not very popular, but it looks quite eerie.

Jiang Rong stood outside and turned on a powerful flashlight. The light had strong penetrating power and could directly illuminate the end of the parking lot. However, because the light was more concentrated, the illuminated area was smaller.

At this time in the underground parking lot, the bloodstains from who knows how long ago had dried up, and the cars inside were now covered in dust.

The moment the light came in, several huge mutant beasts quickly pounced towards Jiang Rong.

An extremely sharp silver sword instantly appeared in Jiang Rong's hand. He swung it horizontally, slashed, and swept at the mutant beast that was rushing towards him at high speed. Although his movements were simple and crude, they were fast, fierce, and accurate.

Several mutant rats were killed by having their throats slit.

However, mutant rats usually appear in groups. Once mutant rats appear in a place, if they are not dealt with in time, that place will fall in a short time, and then the entire city will become a rat's nest.

After killing them, Jiang Rong quickly ran into the basement with a knife, and then cut off the lock of the staircase door that was locked from the inside.

Then he started running up the stairs.

It was dark everywhere along the way, and the doors of some houses were wide open. Jiang Rong took a quick glance as he passed by. It might be because the sunshades in the houses were not removed, so all he saw was pitch black.

When they climbed to the tenth floor, Jiang Rong was followed by a group of people, and they were moving very fast.

Before long, Jiang Rong felt that he was about to be overwhelmed by these mutant rats.

I had no choice but to hide back in space.

It was probably because he had just killed those mutant rats, and his body was stained with the smell of blood.

Also, the mutant rats are quite vengeful and will fight to the death with anyone who kills their companions.

So either you kill them all at once, or if you don't have that ability, you can only evacuate to another city.

Jiang Rong breathed slightly, she probably knew why Xin Jue and the others chose to leave at this time.

Relatively speaking, she hoped that this was the only reason.

After resting for a while in the space, Jiang Rong appeared in the dark corridor again. At this time, the mutant beasts had retreated, but it would not be long before they would come back again when the smell on her body spread far enough.

So Jiang Rong climbed the stairs again without stopping when he came out.

But at this moment, she was basically certain that there was no one in the building.

No one should be able to live safely in a place where these mutant rats gather.

There was a building with more than thirty floors. Jiang Rong entered the space and hid there three times before he successfully climbed to the top of the building. He took out the key and quickly entered the dark and empty house.

After Jiang Rong entered the house, he first carefully checked all the rooms, and finally worked for a while to turn on the electricity in the house.

Then he turned on the light in the living room with a click.

The surroundings suddenly became brighter, and Jiang Rong glanced at the furniture arrangement in the living room.

There are some changes compared to before I left, so someone must have come.

In addition, there was a map on the small table in the room where Jiang Rong had slept before.

Jiang Rong opened the folded square map and saw the marks made with a red pen on it.

Starting from Xinan County and ending in Jingshi City, the red traces were painted to every place they planned to go.
