Ink-black darkness.
Qiao He felt terrible all over. She felt like she was going to die. Every breath was incredibly painful, as if she had entered a chemical plant with extremely strong volatile substances. Not only did her respiratory tract feel like it was burning, but her head was also spinning.
Qiao He opened her eyes, but she couldn't see anything.
There was no one around her. It was as if she were the only person left in the place.
Qiao He's eyes turned cold. She first checked her situation. Her equipment seemed to have been corroded by some liquid, and even the night vision goggles on her face were gone.
This is not a good thing. Fortunately, Qiao He had stored the night vision goggles she had drawn in the Blood Jade Space, just in case the night vision goggles were not enough in the polar night weather.
Qiao Yin has night vision goggles made by Shen Tang using his supernatural abilities, enough for the kittens.
Qiao He made these arrangements to prevent herself and her children from being forced to separate, as is the case now.
Qiao He was in pain even when breathing. The environment here was terrible, even more disgusting than the ruins outside, with a fishy stench mixed with the corrosive smell of stomach acid.
Qiao He forced herself to hold it in and didn't vomit.
The oxygen cylinders had long since flown away, and Qiao He had no choice but to use her supernatural abilities to make a few more as spares.
The children, Bo Shiwu, Chen Huai, Bai Tiantian and Li Zong, have all been scattered somewhere by the waves.
Qiao He found it strange. They were all together when they were swallowed, so how come they couldn't see anyone after waking up?
Where did they all go?
After putting on the night vision goggles, Qiao He was finally able to see her surroundings clearly.
A huge, pitted cavity, like entering an unknown cave, but the inner walls were not made of stone, but of flesh that occasionally writhed slightly.
Qiao He touched it; it was still extremely hot and contained a disgusting, sticky substance that made one want to vomit.
Occasionally, a sticky, nauseating substance resembling stomach acid will appear in the collapsed areas inside the cavity.
It looks a bit like a big, green snot.
Qiao He frowned and walked away, quickly using her mental voice to call for others.
One advantage of the system is that this capability is given to us for free.
However, the drawbacks are also obvious. Once you are more than a kilometer away from Qiao He, you can no longer hear Qiao He's voice, and of course, she can't hear the other person either.
Qiao He was at her wits' end; how could she find other people?
Or should I try to figure out how to get out of this stomach first?
There were still quite a few explosives in the space, but the stomach didn't have enough oxygen, so without an accelerant, the explosives wouldn't be very powerful.
Moreover, Qiao He is only one person. Even if she summons a dozen or so paper dolls of Qiao He, it won't be enough. This stomach is as big as a cave. Can explosives really break open the stomach of this giant rat?
Also, what's going on with that adult man's head? How did it end up being assembled with a giant rat?
Qiao He felt a headache coming on.
She walked forward while calling out to the others in her head.
If you ask why Qiao He doesn't just shout, her voice is basically ruined now, it's bleeding profusely, and it's difficult to even save her vocal cords.
Qiao He never expected that she would end up inside a giant rat's belly.
What happened to the kittens being supposed to be expert mouse catchers?
Maybe they've become too picky because they eat cat food and cat treats at home every day. Let alone such a big monster mouse, even if they encounter a normal little mouse from before the apocalypse, the little guys will scream and yell, "Mommy, there's a mouse!"
Qiao He sighed helplessly. She felt that she was quite optimistic. At this point, she was not far from death, but she was actually quite happy.
An abnormal kind of happiness.
Qiao He patted her face to try and clear her head. She took a deep breath and continued to call their names in her mind.
Anyone is fine, as long as I meet the right person!
Don't just suddenly disappear!
Just then, Qiao He suddenly noticed a rat hole in the flesh wall.
Qiao He: "?"
The black cave was large enough for Qiao He to bend over and enter. After turning a corner, there were many black holes on the fleshy wall. They looked very deep and resembled burrows dug by some kind of field mouse.
Qiao He was completely baffled. What on earth was all this?
She was dumbfounded.
Just as Qiao He was wondering whether she should go in to take a closer look, a dark, rat-like head gradually emerged from one of the dark holes.
Qiao He: "!!!"
Qiao He instinctively reached out to attack, but the rat screamed, "Ouch! What are you doing? What are you going to do?! Are you new here? Why are you so malicious? Don't hit me, sister, we're on the same side!"
Qiao He's face contorted slightly as she wondered if she had inhaled too much toxic gas, causing her to experience some strange hallucination.
The rat's head shrank back inside, and it said helplessly, "Please don't do anything! We're a loving family, aren't we? Sister, calm down, let me tell you about the situation here..."
Qiao He was full of questions, but the rat didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards her at the moment, otherwise the system would definitely have sensed it, and her danger prediction wouldn't have been activated.
So Qiao He said sullenly, "How can you, a mouse, speak human language?"
The mouse's head popped out again, as if it wanted to come out, and as it squeezed its way out, it explained, "Oh, I'm not a mouse at all. Wait until I come out so you can take a good look."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the mouse appeared.
"Look at me again, am I still a mouse?"
A strange creature with a rat's head and a human body appeared in front of Qiao He.
Qiao He: "??????"
"Uh, you don't seem to be a rat, you're... a rat-man?" Qiao He twitched his lips. So how did this rat-man survive here? Is it a superhuman?
The ratman snorted, "Don't call me ratman, it sounds awful. Just call me Old Wang."
Qiao He: "Old turtle?"
"It's Old Wang!"
"It's not some turtle!" the rat-man said breathlessly, looking genuinely furious.
"Alright, alright, I'm not going to argue with you about this anymore, it's pointless."
“You’re new here, so come with me. I’ll show you where you’re staying.” Old Wang said quickly and skillfully, then pointed to a mouse hole: “Alright, go in, this is your home.”
Qiao He: "Huh? What...home?"
Old Wang nodded. There was some stomach acid and mucus on the rat's head, but these things didn't seem to hurt it.
"Hurry up and go in, you'll die here in a bit," Old Wang said with a laugh.
Qiao He felt something was off: "How come there's a home here? Who exactly are you? Are you a superhuman?"
"Me? You're asking me? Of course I'm the mayor! I'm the mayor of this city, and I'm here to lead everyone to a better life and help them escape poverty!" Old Wang said with a hearty laugh, his mental state extremely abstract.
