Chapter 274 Hell on Earth: Red-Eyed Giant Rat Limited Edition
During the calm months of polar day, officials did not waste time. Unable to find a way to resist the high and low temperatures, they turned their attention to transportation.
In the last few years of the world, almost all cars were destroyed, but there were always some that were not so completely damaged.
Bicycles are the easiest to repair and are still the easiest to use today, after all, you only need to use your legs to power yourself.
Electric cars, although they have to use energy sources such as gasoline and electricity, cannot be abandoned. After all, they are faster and can carry goods and people.
The official's own cars are in good condition and can be used normally after a basic repair. However, the same cannot be said for cars found outside.
However, the recovered car cannot be used, but the parts that are not broken can be disassembled.
In addition, there are many talented people in the shelter, so as long as the government can afford to pay them, there is no need to worry about no one working.
So in the end, we managed to repair quite a few cars by piecing together various pieces.
And these cars came in handy during the safe period.
The safe period is only two hours, and you can't walk far on foot, but with transportation, the speed is much faster.
Official soldiers can drive to a slightly farther place to search for supplies.
Today, as soon as the giant red-eyed rat appeared, the soldiers rushing to the shelter noticed something unusual.
As time passed, the number of giant rats increased.
No one knew where they came from, as if an invisible hand suddenly dropped the giant red-eyed rats onto the earth.
On their way back, the soldiers looked at the scene outside the window and felt increasingly heavy in their hearts.
They couldn't abandon the survivors who were trying to live, but there were too many giant rats and they couldn't kill them all in a short time.
Therefore, everyone focused on saving people along the way and tried their best to bring the survivors to the shelter as soon as possible.
But there are too many survivors who go out for a walk during the safe period.
The entire street was filled with living giant rats running around, some of them were lying on the corpses and gnawing at them, while others were staring at the remaining survivors with hungrily eyes.
The ground was littered with cold corpses, bright red blood, shrill screams and wails, and ear-piercing squeaking sounds.
The reddish sunlight cast by the red sun adds a bit of weirdness and eeriness to the entire city.
This is not the human world at all, it's clearly hell!
The soldiers tried their best, but in the end they only saved a few people.
During the rescue, many soldiers were bitten by giant rats that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
At the beginning, some soldiers were unwilling to abandon their injured comrades and wanted to take them back to the shelter as quickly as possible.
But in just a few minutes, the wounded soldier stopped breathing.
Everyone who returned to the shelter alive was devastated.
Some people cried out loudly for the loss of their loved ones, some shouted on the verge of collapse, and some sat there in a daze with numb faces and lifeless eyes.
Qin Jun looked at the soldiers who had only returned in half their numbers, and his red eyes were still trying hard to endure.
Those were his comrades-in-arms. They were still smiling and greeting each other yesterday. Who could have imagined that today they would never be able to open their eyes again.
The apocalypse has lasted for so long, and every disaster seems to crush humanity.
The survivors can cry, complain, and scream to vent their anger.
But the soldiers could only try to suppress all their emotions in their hearts because there were so many places where they were needed.
They cannot hide, nor can they stop, and they dare not even think about whether their relatives far away in their hometown are safe.
They could only silently endure the complaints of the survivors, work hard to complete the tasks assigned by their superiors, and then use their bodies to support a sky for all the survivors.
And today, half of the sky collapsed.
The entire S city was shrouded in despair and fear.
The Qin army took a deep breath and sent the soldiers who had just returned for examination. The survivors who returned to the shelter also had to be quarantined first.
Although those who have managed to hold on until now should not have any wounds on their bodies, after all, people who were injured by giant rats simply cannot hold on for that long, but it never hurts to be careful.
You know, mice are the animals that are most likely to spread viruses.
Now no one knows where these giant rats came from or where they have crawled through. If they are full of bacteria and viruses, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The four people on the mountain were still unaware of the tragedy that had occurred in the city.
Shi Jiaojiao, Wang Jia and others also discussed things outside.
But I don’t know if it’s because the suburbs are too far away, or because there are only four people on the mountain and it’s not very attractive, there are only a few giant rats here.
There were few of them and the noise they made was small, so Shi Jiaojiao and the other three couldn't guess what was going on for the time being.
Shi Jiaojiao could occasionally hear a few squeaks and wondered if there were mice outside.
She had never encountered such a disaster in her previous life. Could the next one be a rat plague?
If it is a rat plague, then the days ahead will be difficult.
"I can't hear any sound here, is it really a mouse?" Wang Jia was a little surprised.
Shi Jiaojiao frowned and said, "It's just a guess, but you'd better be careful during the safe period tomorrow and wear stab-proof clothing."
Although staying indoors is the safest, if they really stay indoors, they won't be able to know what is outside.
Simply hiding is not the solution to the problem. They need to know what is outside in order to make the next plan.
Wang Jia nodded, but after hearing the seriousness in Shi Jiaojiao's tone, she couldn't help but ask, "Are rats so scary? Weren't there rats before the end of the world?"
Shi Jiaojiao explained: "How can the rats before the apocalypse be the same as those now? Not to mention where the rats that appear now suddenly came from, if they carry a virus, they don't even have to bite people directly. As long as people have wounds on their bodies, they may be infected if they pass by."
Wang Jia was startled and his face turned pale. "Is it so scary?"
Shi Jiaojiao said "yeah", then said: "So you and Tang Wei check each other to see if there are any injuries on your body. If there are, don't go out tomorrow. Mu Ci and I will go."
A single mouse is not scary, but it’s the end of the world. How could God let humans go so easily?
The most serious consequence of the rampant spread of rats is the plague, which also has another name, the Black Death.
The onset is acute, the course of the disease is short, the mortality rate is high, it is highly contagious and spreads rapidly.
Shi Jiaojiao felt a chill in her heart just thinking about it.
If the plague really breaks out, I'm afraid the entire S city will fall.
Neither himself nor Mu Ci could escape.
Mu Ci spoke to comfort him, "Don't worry, the rat is just our guess, we are not sure yet."
Shi Jiaojiao nodded, but she couldn't let go of the worry in her heart.
It is true that she has space, but there are only 5 hours in a day. Coupled with the terrible temperature outside, there is no way for her to escape. If she runs out, she will either die of heat or freeze to death.
It would be nice if the space time limit could be extended.
Suddenly, the ringing of the phone interrupted Shi Jiaojiao's thoughts.
She was stunned for a moment, then immediately looked at Mu Ci.
Qin Jun never calls himself when he has nothing to do.
Has the official already reached a conclusion?
Shi Jiaojiao's heart was pounding and she immediately answered the phone.
At this moment, she prayed to all the gods and Buddhas in heaven in her heart.
Give humanity another chance to live.
