Chapter 071 Chapter 71 Second Mutation Pre-rat
Tang Ming's sudden action made An Qing confused and panicked, but it did interrupt her wandering thoughts. After returning to the room, she felt exhausted and fell asleep quickly.
But after falling asleep, she had another dream about a blind date with Tang Ming, and woke up in a daze in the morning.
She held her forehead and sighed, "Tsk, I can't read romance novels anymore."
After sitting on the bed for a while, she put the dream behind her and opened the system panel to check her happiness value.
At this glance, An Qing instantly became alert.
It is estimated that the people in the base are divided into several groups. Some people are taking a break from get off work and are eating fish with fermented black beans. Therefore, the system is constantly refreshing the happiness value, and the happiness value is rising at a rapid rate.
She opened the detailed data.
[Ding——Happiness +100]
[Ding——Happiness value +80]
[Ding——Happiness +120]
[Ding——Happiness +50]
…
Detailed information about the happiness value rolled across the system panel like a snowball, and the densely packed values dazzled An Qing.
But she was extremely excited. The increase in her happiness value was obviously the second situation that she didn't dare to expect!
At the same time, a system notification sound rang in her ears.
[Ding—Congratulations to the host for creating a new dish, lard rice balls, and successfully unlocking sesame oil and casserole.]
It's the second day now, and the new dish of "Fat Scraps and Lard Rice Balls" has just been announced. Besides, isn't the fat scraps also a one-cent dish? And they don't count it.
An Qing muttered to herself, but she also knew that the system couldn't communicate and 001 couldn't control the system, so she had no way to give feedback or bargain with the system.
In particular, many novel systems have complaint and suggestion buttons next to them. She searched every corner of the panel of this system but couldn't find the complaint and suggestion button.
An Qing took a look at her current happiness value: 76,959,769 points.
In just the blink of an eye, the happiness value increased by another 725 points.
I wonder how many people haven’t eaten fish with fermented black beans yet. If there are still many people like that, maybe the happiness value can reach 100 million?
Of course, she has gained more than 5,000 happiness points from yesterday to today. She really can't ask for too much. It's better not to set her goal on 100 million. It would be good if she can reach 80 million soon.
With 80 million, she can buy two pots.
The four types of pots she can buy now are frying pans, soup pots, stew pots, and casseroles.
Don’t consider the frying pan. In this emergency situation, wasting happiness points on such a small pot will not be of much use.
The stew pot was the largest of the three remaining pots, so she naturally had to buy it. She compared the remaining soup pot and casserole with each other, and since the casserole was larger than the soup pot, she chose the casserole.
[Ding——Do you want to use 30,000,000 happiness points to buy a stew pot?]
An Qing: "Yes."
[Happiness points have been deducted, the stew pot has been purchased successfully and can be taken out at will.]
[Ding——Do you want to use 30,000,000 happiness points to buy a clay pot? ]
An Qing: "Yes."
[Happiness points have been deducted, the casserole was purchased successfully and can be taken out at your convenience.]
It costs 60 million happiness points at once.
I took a painful look at the balance of my happiness value, which had shrunk to more than 10 million in an instant.
An Qing took a deep breath. If this continued, when would she be able to accumulate enough happiness points?
Forget it, as long as the base can be preserved, she will be able to accumulate enough happiness points sooner or later. If the base is gone, let alone happiness points, she will even lose her life.
After closing the system panel, An Qing got up to wash up, changed her clothes, opened the door and walked out.
Seeing Tang Ming standing in the living room, An Qing paused. Thinking of their conversation last night and the dream she had afterwards, she curled her toes awkwardly. Her eyes calmly swept over Tang Ming and nodded at him and Mu Chen beside her.
"How about having boiled eggs and bread with a carton of milk this morning?"
She poured herself a glass of water. Drinking a glass of water on an empty stomach in the morning is good for the body.
Tang Ming and Muchen had no objections, so the three of them had breakfast together and headed to the restaurant.
As soon as An Qing walked out of the building, she suddenly felt a chill and her body retreated sharply.
Mu Chen and Tang Ming beside her also reacted quickly.
Tang Ming instantly stood in front of An Qing, and Mu Chen drew out his dagger and cut off the flying object.
Swish, swish, swish, the dagger flew like an afterimage, cutting off all the flying thorns.
Tang Ming took a look at the thorns that fell on the ground. These thorns were about ten centimeters long, and the tips of the thorns were dark black. These were thorns growing on the roots/stems/of sawtooth grass.
The thorn tips of sawtooth grass will continuously secrete venom, but this venom has an anesthetic effect, so sawtooth grass is cultivated in the mutant plant breeding base in the base, and the venom is collected from it to extract the anesthetic components in it.
In addition, sawgrass is particularly toxic and has miraculous effects on some mutant animals, so it is also used to make weapons.
The sudden attack made the Fire Team hiding nearby appear.
At this time, An Qing was protected by three circles inside and three circles outside.
Tang Ming stood beside An Qing without moving, while Mu Chen quickly rushed towards the direction where the sawtooth grass thorns were shot out.
"Roar——" an angry howl sounded.
Mu Chen stopped instantly, and all the members of the Fiery Team widened their eyes.
"What is that?"
"Former Rat?"
"No, how could the former rat become like this?"
Under normal circumstances, a fore-mouse would be about one meter tall when standing up, but the one they saw was different, as it was nearly two meters tall.
When it howled, its originally flat teeth in its open mouth turned into sharp fangs, its eyes glowed a manic scarlet, and its claws, which were already sharp, were now even more separated and sharper. The hair all over its body swelled like a hedgehog, and each hair was thick and sharp, with a cold metallic glow at the tip.
The people who had just walked out of the building were wondering why the entrance was blocked, and then they saw the huge and strange rat outside.
"hiss!"
"Mutated animals have invaded the base?"
"grass--"
"Is this a secondary mutation? Even lazy vegetarian rats have become like this. What will other mutant animals become?"
There were more and more people behind An Qing and the others. The members of the Fiery Team protecting An Qing clearly felt the fear and despair emanating from those people behind them.
For a moment, all the members of the Fire Team were on high alert, fearing that someone in the crowd would suddenly explode.
When Tang Ming saw this former rat, his heart sank. Although his main task now was to protect An Qing and he no longer had to accept missions outside, he had also received the results of the laboratory's previous experiments on the former rat.
But, how could there be rats in the base that had undergone a secondary mutation after absorbing the air from the dense forest?
It is impossible for the front rat outside to enter the base so easily without making any noise. So, this front rat must be inside the base.
So the question is, the former rats that were previously experimented on in the base have been dealt with, so where did this former rat come from?
He looked solemnly in the direction where the sawtooth grass thorns had been fired before and narrowed his eyes.
The road behind was blocked by people coming out of the building. Tang Ming took a whistle and used it to command the Fire Team to protect An Qing's retreat.
Before the Fire Team could make a move, the rats in front had already pounced over, their manic, scarlet eyes gleaming with bloodthirsty light. It was obvious that they had switched from eating vegetables to meat.
It stared at the saliva dripping from the human's mouth and ran towards this side, its footsteps making a loud thud on the ground.
Muchen had retreated to the side of the Fiery Team. Tang Ming immediately exchanged positions with Muchen. Muchen and a part of the Fiery Team protected An Qing and left, while he stayed behind to command the rest of the Fiery Team to deal with the front rat.
There was no way. Mu Chen was not familiar with the members of the Fiery Team and had never trained with them. He had no way of commanding the Fiery Team. Only Tang Ming could do it.
Muchen and twenty members of the Fiery Team escorted An Qing away.
At Tang Ming's command, the Fire Team immediately took action, spreading out to surround the front rat.
Bang, bang, bang—
Continuous gunshots rang out, bullets were fired, and the position of the front rat was controlled to create opportunities for Tang Ming.
Tang Ming raised his gun, pulled the trigger, and the bullet instantly hit the fatal point of the rat.
Sensing the danger, the rat instantly curled up like a hedgehog, its vital points firmly held by the dense spines.
The next moment, its hair swelled up all over its body, and with a bang, dense thorns shot out in all directions.
The members of the Fire Team retreated quickly, dodging the flying thorns.
The faces of the people blocking the door of the building changed, and they retreated back into the building.
A knocking sound was heard.
The dense burrs were all embedded in the ground and walls, and only the tails of the burrs remained outside the ground and walls.
The rat in front stood up and rushed towards Tang Ming fiercely with its teeth bared.
Tang Ming blew the whistle, and the Fire Team, which had retreated quickly to avoid the thorns of the front rat, quickly came back and continued to surround the front rat.
Although the attack power of the front rat's hair is strong, the research institute had already tested the attack power of the second-mutated front rat during the last experiment.
Its hair cannot be shot out as a weapon indefinitely. After a maximum of five such group attacks, the front rat needs to rest for at least 24 hours before it can use its hair to attack in a group again.
To deal with this rat, you must use up all five of its group attacks.
Fortunately, Muchen and twenty members of the Fiery Team had already come to protect An Qing.
An Qing's face was gloomy. She looked back in Tang Ming's direction with some worry, then pursed her lips and said nothing.
She took out her communicator and called Wei Xunyi.
After a while, Wei Xunyi finally picked up the phone, "An Qing, what's going on?"
An Qing's whole body was in a low state of pressure, and her voice was a little cold. "I was just attacked by mutant animals. How could mutant animals appear in the base?"
Wei Xunyi's expression was stern. "Where are you? How are you?"
An Qing: "At the entrance of Building No. 1, I'm fine. Mu Chen and the others have taken me away from the mutants. Tang Ming is leading some of the Fiery Team to deal with the mutants. This mutant is a former rat, but it looks different from the former rat and has a very strong attack power."
She had not received the experimental results on the secondary mutation of the former rat, but she could tell with the naked eye that this former rat was completely different from the former rat in the original owner's memory.
Wei Xunyi: "I understand. I will send reinforcements right away. Let Mu Chen take you to the central building for shelter first."
An Qing: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, she said to Mu Chen and the others, "Let's go to the central building."
Before he finished speaking, a figure rushed over quickly.
"Go to hell!" The man's voice was filled with crazy hatred. An Qing looked up and met a pair of eyes full of resentment and murderous intent.
