Chapter 119 The Survivor Uncle
"Alright, stop crying and wailing. You're a grown man, do you really think getting a tail swipe will kill you?"
Han Shuo walked over to the fat man and kicked him.
The fat man got up from the ground with a long face, his mouth still agape.
"It really hurts! You have no idea. The moment I was hit, I almost fainted from the pain. That damn thing, that one hit was definitely like hitting a cow from across a mountain. It hit my kidney."
The fat man had recovered somewhat, but his face was still a little pale, and he didn't look like he was lying.
"Alright, it's solved. Don't be so curious next time, okay? Maybe it was because you were clinging to the barbed wire that you attracted this thing here."
Han Shuo glared at the fat man with annoyance.
"I understand, I understand, I'm sorry."
Actually, it wasn't the fat man who attracted them; the giant rat zombie was attracted by the light from the lamp stick he was holding.
Of course, they only found out about these things later.
"What is this thing? Is it a zombie too? Why are its eyes purple?"
Li Shurou also came over.
"It should be. It's probably a special mutation. It looks quite like a rat," Han Shuo replied.
"Holy crap, could it be that the zombie ate a lot of rats and slowly absorbed rat genes to become like this?"
The fat guy still has a very creative mind.
"Who knows? Maybe. Aren't there plenty of strange things happening these days? Anyway, it's quite difficult to deal with."
The crisis was averted once again, and Han Shuo sheathed his Tang sword.
"So, is this thing considered a mutant? A specially mutated mutant?" the fat man asked again.
"Once the flames go out, you can go and check if there's any turbid liquid."
"Okay, okay, I'll go check it out, I'll keep watch."
Upon hearing that he could dig for treasure again, the fat man felt as if all his pain had disappeared.
Just then, a voice suddenly came from the fork in the road.
"Excuse me, could you please give me back my torch? Without it, I can't find my way back."
The middle-aged man who had just walked out cautiously saw the guns on the three men and knew that they were different from ordinary survivors.
Under the light of the flames, Han Shuo was able to see the appearance of the middle-aged man.
The man's clothes were tattered, and he had no weapons. He had a square face and a somewhat panicked look in his eyes, but overall he seemed very approachable, especially his eyes, which looked very kind.
Han Shuo immediately concluded that this was an ordinary survivor.
He didn't know why this person was here, but the torch from earlier had indeed been a great help.
"Shurou, go find a wooden stick and, before the flames go out, make a new torch to return to this uncle," Han Shuo said.
"Okay!" Li Shurou hurried off to work, nodding apologetically to the uncle.
The situation was really bad just now, and she had no choice but to snatch the torch from the other person.
"Thank you, thank you!" the uncle replied kindly.
“We mean no harm, you don’t need to be nervous.” Although the uncle didn’t seem like a bad person, Han Shuo always maintained a sense of vigilance towards strangers.
"Okay, okay, I'm not nervous, I'm not nervous," the uncle muttered to himself, leaning against the wall, afraid to move.
Han Shuo was also curious about why there were survivors in the sewers, so he stepped forward to try and find out more.
What are you doing here? Are you all alone?
"Huh? There are zombies up there, I can't survive. I hid here more than a month ago. The sewers are a bit dirty, but they're safe. I'm not alone, there are many people like me over there."
As the uncle spoke, he pointed towards the fork in the road.
"They've been hiding here for over a month? And there are other people there too?"
Han Shuo kept his thoughts to himself and continued to ask the question without changing his expression.
"Then how dare you come here alone? Aren't you afraid of encountering any danger?"
"No, we've scouted this area and there's been nothing wrong. But the monster you just burned to death was the first time I'd ever seen one like that. We haven't seen one before."
"I heard some noise here just now, and I wondered if more survivors had arrived, so I came to help them out."
After the uncle finished speaking, Han Shuo understood.
The giant rat zombie is probably a recent mutation. The sound of Li Shurou firing her gun just now unknowingly reached inside, and the uncle came out to investigate after hearing the gunshot.
As for what he said at the end, about rescuing survivors?
Could it be that all the survivors who escaped here have been gathered together?
While a large number of people can bring great strength, there are also drawbacks.
Han Shuo still couldn't quite believe whether the uncle in front of him was really as kind as he claimed.
At this moment, he already had a new plan in mind: after everything here was completely finished, he would go to the uncle's camp to take a look.
If everything is true, the uncle has lived here for so long that he must be very familiar with the sewers. With him leading the way, the three of them can find a safe exit.
It's still better than the three of them wandering around like blind cats.
"Wait here for a while, and we'll go with you to the camp to take a look."
Hearing Han Shuo say this, the uncle was obviously very happy. These three people in front of him were clearly different from the others.
If these three people could join their camp, it would definitely be much safer for them to go out to find food.
However, Han Shuo may have guessed what the uncle was thinking, but the uncle had no idea what Han Shuo was thinking.
The uncle quickly spoke up.
"Okay, okay, it's great that you can get through."
...
Before long, Li Shurou made a new torch and personally handed it to the uncle, who quickly thanked her.
After waiting a while, the flames on the giant rat zombie went out completely, and the fat man quickly started searching with a stick.
"Damn it, Han Shuo, come quick, there really is one!"
Han Shuo quickly went over, and sure enough, after the giant rat zombie died, it did produce turbid liquid.
Moreover, there were quite a few, about five drops in total.
Han Shuo also started to analyze it in his mind. It seemed that the giant rat zombie could also be considered a variant.
It's just a special mutation, a fusion of genes from other organisms.
This special mutant species has purple eyes.
To Han Shuo's surprise, this giant rat zombie also had a danger level of 3, just like the Linghui zombie.
But upon closer reflection, it makes perfect sense.
Giant rat zombies usually appear in dark corners like sewers, and they are indeed quite difficult to deal with. Without fire, the outcome might not be so certain.
The most crucial point is that the conditions for mutation are too harsh, and this type of mutant must be extremely rare, otherwise the underground research institute would have had no information about it at all.
...
Soon, the fat man happily collected the turbid liquid.
Not only was the fat man delighted, but Han Shuo was just as happy as Li Shurou.
They had no idea that they would obtain so much turbid liquid so soon after their trip.
The three of them didn't waste any more time. After everything was ready, they prepared to follow the uncle to their camp.
