Chapter 209 Entering the Base Director's Office
Many pairs of green eyes appeared in front of me.
Yao Tao pulled the bowstring, but the flashlight on her arm could only illuminate a distance of about several meters in front of her.
Her eyesight has also improved to a certain extent after her physical condition changed. She can see the mutant mice clearly even when they are standing outside the light source.
There was a rustling sound in the darkness.
Doudou asked Yao Tao in a low voice, "Sister, can you do this? I can help you shoot down one, but I can't handle the others."
"Are you scared?" Yao Tao asked.
"No... If you can't win, just retreat. It's not shameful." Doudou said in an experienced tone.
Yao Tao chuckled.
As the bowstring was released, an arrow shot out.
One arrow shot through two mutant rats.
"Squeak, squeak!" The mutant rat struggled, and the other mutant rats were frightened and dared not move forward.
Yao Tao shot six mutant rats to death with several arrows, and the remaining ones fled in panic.
"Sister is so awesome!" Doudou jumped for joy.
Yao Tao knew that Doudou was not really happy because of her strength, but because he would have more mutant rat meat.
While Yao Tao was on guard around, Doudou used the iron hook on his waist to drag the dead mutant rats together one by one, pulled out the arrows stuck in the rats, wiped them clean, and returned them to Yao Tao.
Yao Tao was very satisfied. She took out a coil of rope and threw it to him, "Use it to tie these mice together when you go back."
After Doudou tied up the mutant mouse, the two continued to move forward.
"That's the exit." Doudou pointed to a manhole cover above his head and said, "Up above is the base commander's office."
The manhole cover was two meters above the ground and the ladder was broken. Yao Tao was tall enough to climb up, but Doudou was short and he couldn't climb up.
"Have you been here before?" Yao Tao asked.
Doudou's eyes sparkled in the flashlight. He hesitated for a moment and said, "No."
Yao Tao knew that he was hiding something, "You know the consequences of not telling the truth."
Doudou had a conflicted expression, "Sister, are you a good person?"
"No, I'm a bad guy."
Unexpectedly, Doudou felt relieved when she heard this. "My dad once told me before he died that bad people will never admit that they are bad people. Sister, you must be a good person."
"No, I'm a bad guy."
Doudou seemed to be convinced that she was a good person, and whispered, "This ladder used to be good. I climbed up once, but unfortunately... it rusted too badly and broke, and I can't climb up anymore."
"Have you ever thought about moving a ladder or something and tiptoeing up?" Yao Tao asked.
“It’s not safe during the day.”
"Didn't you say that the mutant rats sleep during the day? Why is it not safe?"
"I'm not referring to them, but..." Doudou pointed at the manhole cover above.
"Are you sure this is the base commander's office?"
"Sure, I went in once and there was no one inside."
Yao Tao then picked up Doudou, put him on the ladder, and then she followed him up.
The metal ladder was indeed badly rusted and could break at any time.
Doudou carefully removed the manhole cover.
At first, only a crack was revealed, and then I looked inside.
"No one." He removed the manhole cover completely and climbed up.
Yao Tao also followed up.
Only then did she realize that the exit of the manhole cover was actually in the bathroom of the base director's office.
Because it was a temporary bathroom, the floor was only covered with a layer of wooden boards.
Moreover, the toilet in the bathroom is completely new, it is just placed on the ground for show, it is purely for nothing.
Doudou pushed open the bathroom door and the two of them entered the base director's office.
