The weather was cold and it got dark quickly. It took the three of them less than ten minutes to finish their meal, and in the blink of an eye, visibility became very low.
Lin Qingqing paid the stall owner points, and after the captain of the guard left, she and Xing Xin continued to walk towards the bottom of the city wall.
They still have two more hours to look before curfew.
At this time, the mutant rats under the city wall were still running around.
The hungry survivors had thought about catching rats to eat, and more than one person couldn't help but do it.
But in the blink of an eye, they would be besieged by a swarm of rats, and in just a moment, the person who took action would be reduced to a pile of bones.
"Ahhhh!" Those who came into close contact were shocked and terrified, screaming and running away.
After the rats ate the provocative human, their eyes turned red, but unexpectedly they did not continue to attack other people, which was incredible.
"I really think they have intelligence." Xing Xin's scalp tingled every time he saw this scene. Because the dead were humans, regardless of whether humans attacked the rats first, his instinct was to side with the humans.
"Yeah." Lin Qingqing responded. She also thought that this matter might be related to Mengmeng.
After all, Mengmeng has eaten so many crystal cores, which is already the ceiling of the rat world.
Lin Qingqing knew that within a certain range, the mutant beasts would obey the calls of their own kind and execute orders mindlessly.
Mengmeng is a hamster, and its level is definitely higher than many mutant beasts, but because its body is not very aggressive, there are certain restrictions on summoning divine beasts.
That's why it only summons creatures of the same order!
"Start looking from this side and ask any suspicious people you see. Don't touch rats, even if you see them attacking humans. We'll meet here before nine o'clock." Lin Qingqing said, handing Xing Xin a flashlight.
She had shown the surveillance footage to the two guards before. Because it only showed the side profiles of Mother Lin and Baby Lin, it was difficult for outsiders to judge. She had simply added more people to investigate.
"Okay." Xing Xin took it and nodded without hesitation.
Watching Xing Xin blend into the crowd in the shantytown, Lin Qingqing also turned around and hurriedly looked in another direction.
Before, she didn't trust the two guards very much and had never searched for people separately.
If you delay for too long, there will only be disadvantages and no benefits.
Lin Qingqing entered the shantytown and searched each shack one by one. Although she was extremely anxious, she knew that there was little hope of finding someone like this.
The living conditions in the shantytowns are terrible, and the running of rats makes things even worse. From time to time, there are terrified screams and curses.
"Kill them, kill them! Why don't you do it?"
The collapsed man pulled at the patrolman's sleeve and yelled.
"They didn't hurt anyone..." The patrol members were also devastated when they saw so many mutant rats.
The base that they thought was impregnable seemed to be destroyed by a bunch of rats.
However, at this moment, suddenly, the rats seemed to have heard some command and retreated one by one like a tide.
"Mengmeng!" Lin Qingqing's heart moved, and suddenly she flew into the air, looking down at the surroundings from a high vantage point.
Under Lin Qingqing's sight, the huge base was covered with pure white snow, and only the snow on the city walls had been cleared.
In the snow, a large group of gray-black rodents were scurrying outwards at a rapid speed. They were scattered in all directions, and from above, looking down, they were a black mass, their number shocking.
Awww——
From a distance came the restless howling of zombies.
"It's a swarm of zombies!"
Suddenly, a voice came from beside her ear. Lin Qingqing turned around in surprise and saw Dan Leng, who was wearing thin clothes. She blurted out, "Dad, aren't you cold?"
Shan Leng: “…”
"I'm not your father." Shan Leng gritted his teeth and pointed at his delicate skin. "Look at me, I'm only 22 years old! I'm even younger than you!"
Shan Leng's father suddenly became childish. Lin Qingqing's face was full of black lines. She retorted unyieldingly: "I might only be two years old!"
"Mengmeng has already found the two-year-old you, so you can't meet each other." Shan Leng was relieved to see that Lin Qingqing didn't rush into the zombie horde.
"Let's go. We can't get involved too much." Shan Leng showed up because she was afraid that the zombies would arrive and Lin Qingqing would go out to fight again. As the master of time and space, the less she got involved in, the better. Otherwise, things would become even more unpredictable.
At this time, the troops on the city wall acted quickly, firing howitzers at the areas where the zombies were most concentrated.
Bang! The sound of bombing and the flames that shot up into the sky immediately woke up the residents of the base.
Under the city wall, several headlights were turned on, illuminating the wilderness outside the city.
The battle horn sounded, and the soldiers in the barracks filed out following the assembly call. They were fully armed and ran on the streets, maneuvering to reinforce personnel on various city walls.
Shan Leng pulled Lin Qingqing away and they stopped on the top of a tall building to watch the fight.
"Today is not the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and they can react so quickly. It shows that the overall quality of our country's army in the early days of the end of the world is still good." Lin Qingqing couldn't help but sigh.
Shan Leng hummed. Under the night sky, a hint of a smile seemed to flash across his eyes, but it disappeared upon closer inspection. He didn't tell Lin Qingqing that this was because he and the Corpse King launched surprise attacks from time to time, which was why the troops could react so quickly.
He and the Corpse King had done such a wicked thing, and there was no need to let Qingqing know.
"So those rats were really summoned by Meng Meng?" Lin Qingqing finished speaking. Seeing Shan Leng nod, she couldn't help but complain, "Why didn't you explain it to me earlier? I could have just taken a look at them from a distance."
"Because your mother was infested with bugs... I already burned it."
The matter has been resolved, Dan Leng replied frankly, "I was afraid that you would be unable to do it after seeing it, and I didn't want to embarrass you."
Lin Qingqing was stunned for a moment. She seemed to be talking to herself, but also seemed to be asking Shan Leng: "Is that woman really my mother?"
And he was already dead? She always felt a sense of unreality in her heart.
"Yeah." Shan Leng nodded calmly. He thought that since Lin Qingqing didn't have the chance to meet her mother this time, she wouldn't have any feelings for her.
But he didn't know that Lin Qingqing had gone back to the real past without his knowledge.
Everyone else's memories had been tampered with by Shan Leng, and only Shan Leng himself knew clearly. This was already the second time they had restarted the mission.
The last time, Lin Qingqing went crazy after seeing her mother being infested with insects.
One person almost turned the whole world upside down.
So this time, apart from restraining the Corpse King by his side, dealing with some Zerg and killing some high-level zombies, he hardly interfered with Lin Qingqing's struggle to be reborn as a small shrimp.
He also wanted her to grow up more slowly, so that it wouldn't be too late for her to recover her memory after they had dealt with everything.
"Hi, beautiful lady!" Qu Guanqing suddenly popped up from the rooftop railing. He supported the railing with one hand and flipped over to the rooftop in a cool manner.
Lin Qingqing stared at his face for a long time, then suddenly kicked him.
