Chapter 208 Entering the Secret Passage
After Bai Lin left, Yao Tao went back to find Dou Dou and asked, "When are we leaving?"
Doudou looked up at the sky.
It was almost dusk by then.
"Sister, are you very good?" Doudou asked.
"Not bad."
"Are you afraid of mutant rats?"
"No."
Doudou nodded his little head. "I hope Sister will promise me something. If we kill any mutant rats on the way, can you leave them all to me?"
Yao Tao remembered that when the children mentioned Doudou before, some of them said that he went to catch mutant mice.
It is estimated that mutant rat meat is his food source.
"Sure." She didn't eat mutant mice.
Doudou was very happy, "Come with me."
Yao Tao followed Dou Dou to a wasteland behind the E Area base.
There was a ruin there, with a lot of bricks, stones and tiles piled up.
Doudou looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he ran behind a rock and moved the gravel and dirt on the ground, revealing a manhole cover.
Yao Tao went inside and saw a rusty metal ladder.
Doudou went down and took out a piece of candle. "Sister, do you have any lighting tools? If not, you have to pay extra. You know candles are very precious."
"I have lighting tools." Yao Tao took out a flashlight.
Doudou was so envious that he carefully replaced his candle end. "Sister is amazing! She even has a flashlight. Batteries are hard to come by. In our market, new batteries are very expensive."
Yao Tao didn't respond.
Even if she had many flashlights and batteries in her space, she would not give one to the child.
Good things will become a death warrant in the hands of the weak.
After Yao Tao came down, Doudou moved the manhole cover back to its original position.
Yao Tao used the light of the flashlight to observe the front.
This is a sewer, which is relatively well maintained, but the smell is a bit unpleasant.
Yao Tao took out a mask and put it on.
Doudou was surprised, "Sister, you have so many things."
"Are there a lot of mutant rats down there?" Looking at the environment, one can guess that there must be mutant rats in there.
Doudou took out a slingshot from somewhere, and there was an iron hook on his waist.
"There are not many outside. They sleep during the day and only get up and move around at night." Doudou led the way fearlessly.
When there was a fork in the road, Doudou skillfully chose the left passage.
Yao Tao tied a flashlight to his arm and took out a bow and arrow.
Using a gun would make a very loud noise, and she couldn't guarantee that people on the ground wouldn't hear it when she fired.
Doudou led her around and around, and when they passed a fork in the road, he squatted down next to an iron cage and said, "Wow, I caught one."
Yao Tao shone the flashlight into the cage.
It was a mousetrap, but much larger than a normal cage, like a dog cage.
"Did you put this here?" she asked Doudou.
"Yeah, we can use it to catch mutant rats, so we won't go hungry."
"Did you modify the cage yourself?" Yao Tao asked.
Doudou shook his head, "No, I asked an uncle at the camp for help."
Doudou did not kill the mutant mouse in the cage, but got up and continued walking forward.
"Aren't you going to harvest your prey?" Yao Tao reminded him, "Perhaps its companions will come and rescue it."
"I'm not going to eat it tonight." Doudou muttered.
After walking for a while, Doudou suddenly stopped and nervously held his slingshot, "Sister, there are mutant rats coming."
Yao Tao pulled Dou Dou behind her.
Several small green eyes appeared in front.
