"So the snapping sound I heard last night was most likely from this rat?" Qin Dai was a little afraid of rats. Even after hearing Yu Qirong say that this thing was dead, he stood far away and only dared to glance at it tremblingly. "There must be more than one, right?"
Rats hide in dark places and are usually invisible, but one was found in this copy, which means there are others.
The atmosphere became quiet for a moment.
For their current team, it is still a bit difficult to face the mutant rats.
"It's not entirely a bad thing." Yu Qirong stroked the uneven surface of the table and guessed, "At least it can survive and live so well, which means there will still be food."
It would be fine if I didn't talk about it, but as soon as I talked about food, that unbearable feeling of hunger came up again. As time went by, this feeling became more and more difficult to suppress.
Looking at the faces of the others, Yu Qirong knew that they were only more hungry than himself.
"Then we'll send out the next team." The professor's cheeks looked a little dry, and hunger was most clearly reflected in his lack of elasticity in his skin.
He looked around at the team that looked tired and exhausted. In fact, they were more or less out of ammunition and food.
The time displayed on the computer was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and they had only eaten very little in the morning. This copy was obviously not right, and they all showed signs of being hungrier than usual.
"Well, then let's go together." After a psychological struggle, Lin Huanhuan and Liu Ke stood up. It would not work to simply be trapped here. They had to keep going out and find the restaurant.
She looked at the mutant rat lying dead on the ground with some fear, and said timidly: "If we encounter this..."
Fang Qian handed over the lighter. "Mice are also afraid of fire. If you encounter one, you can try this, but it's not 100% safe... The first choice is to run away."
Lin Huanhuan took the lighter, and she and Liu Ke supported each other and walked out.
The people who stayed where they were were silent, as if saying one more word would consume more energy. Hunger and silence became the biggest synonyms for the entire team.
No one wants to keep an eye on other people, so it's good enough to keep your own spirits high.
Yu Qirong didn't mind the extremely quiet environment. The peaceful and quiet atmosphere was more conducive to his thinking.
Su Tang watched Yu Qirong sit down, his eyes cast on the ground, his eyelashes drooping slightly, as if he was thinking about something. He propped up his chin and unscrupulously admired Yu Qirong's thinking.
Qin Dai saw it inadvertently, and nudged Xu Qianxing, who was dizzy and hungry, with his arm, and pointed slightly with his hand, signaling him to look at Yu Qirong.
The man named Su Tang had a cold face, but his eyes were scorching and sparkling as he looked at the high school student, as if he had both admiration and admiration for him, which together created an indescribable sense of incongruity.
The skin and the soul don't match.
Xu Qianxing didn't have the delicate thoughts that Qin Dai had. He just saw that the way Su Tang looked at Yu Qirong made him, a straight man, feel uncomfortable. He couldn't help but shiver, feeling like his whole body was crawling with bugs.
Lin Huanhuan and Liu Ke had been gone for an unknown amount of time. Xu Qianxing's concept of time had become very vague, and the thoughts in his mind gradually became simple instead of chaotic.
Hungry.
He was so hungry that he felt like his stomach and intestines were being corroded by gastric acid and intestinal fluid. Many times he even felt like he was going to faint. When he smelled the aroma of meat and was about to put it in his mouth, he opened his eyes and found that he was putting his arm into his mouth.
This thought made him break out in a cold sweat. He slapped himself and came to his senses instantly.
The sound of the slap was neither loud nor soft, and everyone who stayed here could hear it, but they were too busy to take care of themselves and no one asked him why he hit them.
Xu Qianxing found it difficult to open his eyelids. He opened his eyes with great effort, his gaze drifting left and right without a target, finally landing on the mutant rat on the ground.
This mouse, which looked strange and even a little scary, was now the best protein in his eyes.
Gurgle.
Xu Qianxing swallowed and stared at the mouse on the ground without blinking. Without him realizing it, the mouse had slowly crawled over there.
The distance between him and the mouse was getting closer and closer, until he could just stretch out his hand...
Bang!
The back of Xu Qianxing's outstretched hand was hit mercilessly by a flower umbrella.
He raised his head suddenly, only to see Yu Qirong looking down at him. His pure white hair made him look quite arrogant, and his burgundy pupils, unlike those of ordinary people, were full of warning.
But it was only for a moment. The next moment he realized that he seemed to be frightened by the aura of this high school student. Instead, he wanted to regain the situation with some dissatisfaction, "What are you doing!"
"You can't move this." Yu Qirong said.
Xu Qianxing was extremely hungry. In his opinion, the white-haired high school student wanted to monopolize the mouse. "There is nothing to eat now, except for this mouse. Do you want to eat it all by yourself?"
Yu Qirong had an extremely incomprehensible expression. He just thought that Xu Qianxing was hallucinating due to hunger, but he didn't expect that he was planning to eat the mouse.
"It's not an ordinary mouse, but a mutated one." Fang Qian also frowned slightly.
"Anyway, this is the only food left." Xu Qianxing didn't want to listen to anything else. He knew that his stomach was very hungry and empty, so empty that anything could fit in. He looked at the other people as if he were a competitor, "If you don't eat, then I'll eat it alone."
Yu Qirong shifted his gaze to look at Su Tang, but Su Tang rarely did not meet his gaze. Instead, he turned to Xu Qianxing with interest. Rather than using what he called "stored food" to save him, he seemed more interested in watching the mutant rats being eaten alive.
Yu Qirong frowned slightly, and when he turned around, he saw Xu Qianxing picking up the dead mouse.
His technique was extremely rough, as if hunger had restored his strength. He tore the fur apart in a few strokes, revealing the bloody flesh underneath.
“…”
There was no other sound in the entire room except the sound of Xu Qianxing eating raw meat and drinking blood.
Qin Dai quietly changed his position. He felt that Xu Qianxing was now a more dangerous existence, as if he could eat him alive at any time.
The smell of blood in the room lingered, but instead aroused even greater hunger.
The others chose to look away, fearing that they would lose control and pounce on Xu Qianxing to snatch the item.
The mouse was neither small nor big, and it didn't take long for Xu Qianxing to eat it completely, leaving only blood-stained fur and bones on the ground.
Something substantial had entered his stomach, and he finally felt refreshed.
Xu Qianxing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, changed his sitting position, leaned his back against the table, held his stomach and burped.
Others must be regretting now that they couldn't have it.
There was a glimmer of joy in Xu Qianxing's eyes, but it was no use regretting, he ate very quickly and now there was nothing left.
He patted his belly and said that eating food is the most satisfying...
Xu Qianxing paused and stopped patting his stomach. He seemed to feel something moving just now.
He felt a surge of uneasiness and unbuttoned the last two buttons of his shirt, only to find that his stomach had grown a little bigger, as if there was a balloon hidden inside, with an irregular little hand-shaped thing sticking out.
"dad."
A very tiny voice rang in his ears, and Xu Qianxing's scalp instantly felt numb as if it had exploded. He stood up suddenly and looked at the others, "Who is it! Who shouted!"
"You...what are you talking about?" Qin Dai asked in a crying voice.
He didn't hear anything, but Xu Qianxing's current condition made him very scared. There was blood on his sleeves and he looked crazy.
"Dad is here to see me."
…
"dad."
…
"Hehe, I'm in your belly."
…
Xu Qianxing paused in her search, took off all her clothes, and stared at her belly, which looked like a woman who was ten months pregnant.
Take it out, take the things out!
He looked back at the cold light on the table, picked up the scissors on it, held them high, and then stabbed them into his stomach.
"!" Fang Qian stood up immediately, breathing rapidly as she watched Xu Qianxing cut open her own stomach like a living rat.
No one dared to step forward, for fear of being accidentally injured. After all, the rule is that getting injured will speed up hatching.
Bang.
The scissors fell to the ground, and then another layer of shadow appeared on the ground, and then Xu Qianxing's body also fell to the ground with a bang.
Qin Dai breathed heavily and curled himself up into a ball. He didn't dare to look at Xu Qianxing who was lying on the ground. He just twisted his neck and asked, "Dead, dead?"
"...Dead." Yu Qirong frowned and lowered his eyes to look at Xu Qianxing's body lying on the ground.
As soon as he finished speaking, the corpse on the ground suddenly shrank rapidly, finally shrinking into a worm the length of a chopstick, and then disappeared on the spot.
There was nothing left on the ground except for the pair of scissors that fell to the ground and were stained with Xu Qianxing's blood, which proved that Xu Qianxing was indeed there just now. There was no trace of the body left.
"Disappeared." Fang Qian said hesitantly.
Hearing this, Qin Dai slowly turned his head to look, his eyes widened helplessly, and sure enough, he saw nothing on the ground.
Yu Qirong sighed, turned around and saw Su Tang looking at him, as if paying special attention to his reaction. This expression, as if observing an experimental subject, made Yu Qirong feel disgusted.
He frowned slightly, but the other side seemed to react and returned to his original calm look.
"It's not completely a waste of effort." Faced with this situation, the professor couldn't help but frown. After a long silence, he said, "At least we know that the rat cannot be eaten and the bodies of dead people will disappear."
“Found it! I found it!” Lin Huanhuan’s voice suddenly came over. Not long after, she and Liu Ke returned to the meeting place and pointed to the other side and said happily: “I followed the map and walked over there, and found a place where food and water are supplied. I said that the route I led was correct.”
"!" Qin Dai looked at the person behind Lin Huanhuan as if he had seen a ghost. He pointed at the person behind Lin Huanhuan and said tremblingly: "I... I... I saw it wrong? Xu Qianxing?"
"Why are you looking at me like that?" The person behind Lin Huanhuan stood up and laughed heartily: "I just followed you for a short while, and you don't recognize me?"
"..." Qin Dai looked at the scissors on the ground, then looked at Xu Qianxing standing in front of him, and collapsed and almost cried, "Didn't you just die? Just now, right in front of us!"
