Chapter 25: Giant Rat Atlas
Follow along the way into the park.
Lin Zichen felt that the rotten meat in his hands was a bit of a hindrance, so he opened the bag and threw the meat into a bush on the side of the road.
The rotten ghost squid meat was emitting a stench that was getting stronger and stronger, becoming more and more pungent. It was enough to make one feel sick just by smelling it, so there was no need to keep it anymore.
We can only recycle waste and give it back to nature, the birthplace of all things, so that the saprophytes in nature can have a good meal.
As for how to explain to my parents when I get home, I just say that I encountered some pagans making trouble and accidentally lost the meat in the panic.
Also, to avoid unnecessary trouble, if I want to buy exotic beast meat to devour in the future, I have to find someone to help me buy it...
While he was thinking, Lin Zichen had already followed the security team into the park.
At first glance, the air was still filled with purple-blue smoke, but it had almost dissipated, revealing a large area of scorched earth that was still smoking.
If you look a little closer, you can see a deep pit with a radius of about one meter in the middle.
Going a little closer to see what was in the pit, I saw a completely charred corpse.
It was the pagan believer who had transformed into a giant rat.
Lin Zichen was a little surprised.
A laser cannon with such great power couldn't completely wipe out the ratman, but just blasted it into charcoal?
It seems that gene fusion is still powerful.
"No one should approach. Please leave this place immediately!"
At the edge of the pit, a security guard saw Lin Zichen standing there and immediately spoke up to drive him away.
As soon as he finished speaking, the captain of the security team opposite said, "Let him stay. We have to take him back to the station to take a statement later anyway."
"Take notes?"
The security officer was a little confused and didn't understand what Lin Zichen wanted to record at the station.
He didn't know that the hostages were able to escape from the pagans because of Lin Zichen's secret action.
At this time, Lin Zichen's cell phone rang. It was Shen Qinghan calling.
As soon as the call was connected, Shen Qinghan's worried voice came from the other end.
"Xiaochen, it's been more than ten minutes. You haven't come back yet. Did something happen on the way?"
"It's okay, don't worry. The rat man has been dealt with by the mechanical man. I'll stay and take a look at the situation. You can sit in the convenience store for a while. I'll be back soon."
"How about I come find you?"
"No, it doesn't feel safe. I'll go pick you up now. Wait for me, I'll be there soon."
Lin Zichen quickly hung up the phone and ran to pick up Shen Qinghan.
In just a moment, he brought Shen Qinghan to the park.
Shen Qinghan looked at the charred ground in front of her, her little face full of surprise.
It was hard for her to imagine what had just happened here to lead to the current situation.
At this time, the security team had already taken the body out of the pit and carried it on a stretcher into the trunk of the security vehicle.
Fortunately, the trunk of the security vehicle is often used to store various large tools, and the space is designed to be large enough, otherwise the stretcher would not be able to fit in.
Lin Zichen looked at the completely burnt corpse and remembered that when the security team captain asked for support before, he seemed to have mentioned the rat king gene.
It is said that this pagan believer who has turned into a charcoal has a high probability of having the Rat King's genes integrated into his body.
The Rat King gene must also be a type of exotic beast gene.
So... can I devour the Rat King's genes from the corpse?
Lin Zichen suddenly thought of this.
He thought about it and felt that it should be possible, so he decided to find an opportunity to touch the body when he got off the car at the police station to verify his guess.
Soon, everything on the scene was handled.
The security team leader looked at Lin Zichen and asked, "We're going back to the security station. Do you two know where it is? Can you ride your bikes over here?"
"The chain on our bicycle broke and we can't ride it."
"In that case, let's go back together in the security car."
"Can we take our bikes with us?"
"Okay, go ahead and push it over here."
"Thanks."
After a brief conversation, Lin Zichen went outside and pushed the bicycle with a broken chain over.
Because there was no space in the trunk, a tall security guard used a rope to help him secure the bicycle to the roof.
Afterwards, the group took a car to the police station.
In the car, Lin Zichen did not see Teacher Strawberry and thought that she must have been sent to the hospital by the security guard to treat her wounds.
On the way, because Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan were both minors, the security team captain asked them to notify their parents to come to the security station.
Both of them called their parents to inform them.
…
About ten minutes passed.
The car finally arrived at the police station.
After getting off the car, Lin Zichen took the initiative to go to the back of the car to help carry out the bodies of the pagans.
While the security guards weren't paying attention, he suppressed his nausea and reached out to touch the corpse to see if he could devour the Rat King gene inside.
To my surprise, I found that it can really be swallowed!
Genes are the origin of life, or a kind of origin of life!
So without thinking, I decided to swallow it.
[You devoured a trace of the life essence of the "Giant Rat"]
[Giant Rat Album: 5%]
5%? That much?
Looking at the progress bar at the back of the album, Lin Zichen felt a little surprised.
However, compared to the progress bar, he cared more about what abilities he could gain after opening the atlas of the giant alien rat.
After thinking about it carefully, it seems that the giant rat has no special abilities other than having eight eyes and thick skin.
Of course, it is also possible that humans lack knowledge about giant rats.
After all, the giant alien rats have only recently appeared in human society, and there are still many unknowns about them.
"Forget it, there's nothing to think about. Once the progress bar on the atlas is full, you'll know everything."
After thinking about it, Lin Zichen took a special look at the corpse on the stretcher.
There doesn't seem to be any change, it seems that losing the Rat King gene has not caused any impact.
Of course, it is also possible that there will be a certain delay, just like the previous ghost squid meat.
…
In the next period of time.
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan sat together to take notes.
The captain of the security team was very concerned about Lin Zichen's brave act and wanted to know how he injured the pagans with stones.
After all, the distance is a bit far, and the visibility is not very good at night.
Under such conditions, accurately hitting a pagan's knife-holding hand with a stone is not something a junior high school student should be able to do.
Lin Zichen didn't want to reveal too much of his strength, so he said the words he had prepared long ago, saying that he shot it with a slingshot.
"Where's the slingshot?"
The captain of the security team didn't believe it and asked Lin Zichen this question.
Lin Zichen didn't even blink as he calmly replied, "I accidentally lost it when I was fleeing the scene."
"are you sure?"
"I'm sure of it."
Lin Zichen said without thinking.
The captain of the security team nodded and asked no more questions.
Soon, the record was completed.
At this time, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan's parents also came to the police station.
Both sets of parents had anxious expressions on their faces. They had never expected that their children would just go out at night and encounter trouble caused by pagans.
Fortunately, the ending was happy and nothing happened to the two children.
Otherwise, both sets of parents would not be able to survive.
Lin Zichen chatted with his parents for a few words, then looked at the captain of the security team and asked:
"Hello, I'd like to ask, when can I apply for my bravery bonus?"
"Let's do a fingerprint comparison now. Once the results come out and are confirmed to be correct, I can apply for you on the system."
The captain of the security team replied.
After understanding the process, Lin Zichen followed a young security guard to do a fingerprint comparison.
Seeing this scene, both parents were a little confused.
A reward for bravery?
What's this?
The parents of the two families only knew that their children had encountered trouble caused by pagans, and they had no idea that Lin Zichen had bravely saved people.
It was not until I asked the captain of the security team and read the transcript that I understood what had happened.
"Your son is truly amazing. He's only in middle school, but he's so courageous and able to remain calm in the face of a crisis. He's a little hero."
A female security guard passing by praised him.
After hearing this, Zhang Wanxin just smiled at the other party politely, without any joy in her heart.
She didn't want Lin Zichen to be a hero, she just wanted him to grow up safely.
