Chapter 148: Encountering a Tide of Rat
Chickens and ducks can mutate, and not only can they survive well in this ice and snow, they can even have huge bodies and super strong combat power.
Then won’t snakes, insects, rats, ants and the like mutate?
The reason they haven’t encountered them now may just be because the number of mutated animals is relatively small, which does not mean that they do not exist.
Mu Qianqian obviously just asked this question on a whim. Nan Ci didn't answer, and she didn't ask any further questions. She just drove well.
The wheels rolled forward, crushing the hard snow, making a creaking sound that made people feel a little sad.
Heavy snow falls every day, but because the weather is so cold, the fallen snow will quickly freeze hard, and cars will not sink when they drive on it.
If they weren't pulling those sleds behind them, they would be able to go even faster.
Although the speed is not fast enough now, they are not in a hurry.
We have to go to the base, but we don't have to get there immediately, so it's okay to walk slowly.
The four people took turns driving, and after two days of trial and error, they finally found the way to the base.
This is also thanks to the maps left by Chen Guoping and his team, and some road signs made on the road.
Otherwise, there would be just a vast expanse of white, no internet, no Amap, and no buildings. It would be too difficult to find a way to the base.
After finding the right road, they drove for another half a day and they were no longer the only car on the road.
There were people in front and behind the car, and these people were obviously going to the base as well.
Some of them, like them, also drive cars.
Some use mutant animals to pull the sleds.
Others walk forward on their feet, with a rope on their shoulders and a tire or wooden board behind them, on which all their belongings are placed.
Step by step, it was extremely difficult.
Nan Ci was driving at the moment, and Mu Qianqian was sitting in the passenger seat.
Watching the car overtake the pedestrians one by one, Mu Qianqian remained silent and didn't say a word.
Nan Ci just glanced at her out of the corner of his eye but said nothing.
Because Nan Ci knew clearly that Mu Qianqian was not overly compassionate again, it was just that her heart was still soft, and she couldn't be happy when she saw others suffering.
Nan Ci did not have this psychological burden. He drove very steadily and did not keep his eyes on these people for too long.
Just when Nan Ci was about to overtake a person in his car, the man suddenly turned around and looked towards the RV.
Seeing the man's sudden movement, Nan Ci frowned subconsciously.
However, the next moment, the man made a move that was beyond Nan Ci's expectations.
He just raised his hand and pointed at the RV.
To be precise, it was pointing to the back of the RV.
The man's head and face were completely wrapped up, with only a pair of eyes exposed.
At this moment, those eyes were filled with fear.
At the same time, the voices of Zhou Ziyang and the old Taoist priest also sounded from behind.
"Nan Ci, drive faster, there are a large number of mutant animals behind us."
Nan Ci's heart tightened and he immediately looked towards the rearview mirror.
They could clearly see from the mirror that there was a group of black animals behind them, running towards them.
Because of their huge size and large number, the icy ground trembled as they ran wildly.
Nan Ci's eyes narrowed and he subconsciously glanced at Mu Qianqian beside him.
No wonder the old saying goes, good things don’t work, but bad things do.
Mu Qianqian just asked where the snakes, insects, rats and ants had gone two days ago, and today a horde of rats arrived!
Mu Qianqian obviously also saw what was happening behind her, and her face turned pale.
"Old... rats?! Why are there so many rats? Why can rats grow so big?"
A normal mouse is as big as an adult man's palm, which is already very scary.
But now, each of the group of mice running wildly behind was as big as a corgi.
Many people can't help but get goose bumps when they see a mouse.
Now seeing the rats grow so many times bigger and come in groups like this, I feel both scared and disgusted.
No wonder that person just now had such a terrified look in his eyes.
The man had obviously reacted and was running towards the RV frantically, waving as he ran.
Although Nan Ci didn't hear what he said because of the car door and glass, he could guess that he wanted to get in the car.
Before Nan Ci could react, a black shadow flashed past the RV.
The next moment, he pounced on the man and knocked him to the ground.
Although the rat has become much bigger, it is impossible for a single rat to keep a person pinned to the ground.
The man had a strong will to survive and struggled to get up.
Before he could shake off the rats on his body, more rats pounced on him one after another.
A moment later, the man's sharp and painful scream came through the car door and into the ears of Nan Ci and the other three.
It’s not like the four of them haven’t seen dead people before, and each of them has many lives on their hands.
But listening to the tragic screams and looking at the scene in front of me, I still felt like vomiting.
It's not fear, just a pure heart.
Whether it was the giant chicken or the big geese he saw before, Nan Ci was only shocked and excited.
But now looking at these rats, Nan Ci just wants to vomit.
Nan Ci stepped on the brakes, pulled the handbrake, turned off the car, and stood up directly from the driver's seat.
"It's too late to drive away now and kill these rats."
Nan Ci said this and walked to the back.
Their weapons were placed at the back.
Four crossbows, 400 arrows. One submachine gun, one sniper rifle, and an unmetered amount of bullets.
Although they have been on the road all the time during this period of time, as long as they are not driving, Nan Ci will teach them how to use crossbows and guns.
They are all very talented and have practiced hard, and have now achieved some success.
Now these mice are a good opportunity for them to try out what they have learned.
Mu Qianqian and the other two had no objection to Nan Ci's decision. They each took their crossbow and found a suitable shooting position.
The windows of the co-pilot and the driver's seat, the rear hatch and the windows, as long as they are opened a little bit, you can shoot.
There were a lot of people outside, exposed to the elements with no protection, so the rats naturally attacked them first.
This gave Nan Ci and his team very good shooting conditions.
Nan Ci is the one with the best accuracy among the four people, and he never misses a shot.
Mu Qianqian and the other two together can hit half of them.
Soon, dozens of rats died from their arrows.
The survivors outside noticed this and ran towards the RV, seeking shelter.
