Ye Xiao and Bai Cheng felt uneasy at the laughter and looked at each other in surprise. She was so close to them, even leaning against the door, but neither of them noticed.
Ye Xiao came to his senses and immediately ran after him.
Lin Tan Tan fled the scene quickly, found a shelter and looked at his phone furtively. Alas, I didn't get to take the picture of the scene I wanted to take the most. Later, when they talked, their postures and expressions changed a little, and the feeling of burning gay passion became weaker.
But...it was still a profit. Lin Tantan chuckled as he moved the photos into a new folder and set a password.
Suddenly she heard a strange sound and listened carefully. She turned on the flashlight on her mobile phone and shone it over. Under a gutter cover on the side of the road, she saw something scratching and gnawing.
When she shone the light over there, the thing seemed to be frightened and immediately stopped moving and tried to shrink back. But Lin Tantan was not going to let it get away so easily. A green ribbon flew out and tied up the thing.
Then she pried up the cement manhole cover, lifted the object out, shone the light of her cell phone down, and when she saw that there was nothing else underneath, she put the manhole cover back on.
Then she looked at the creature she had caught. It was fat and large, with a pointed head and a plump body, a long tail, and lush gray fur. It looked healthy, though a little dirty. Lin Tantan was amused. It was a mutant rat, three or four times the size of a normal rat, with two lively eyes, and it was desperately trying to break free from her restraints.
She wanted to get a zombie rat, but a mutant rat would be nice too. She stood up and tugged at the wooden straps: "Am I lucky or are you unlucky? Come on, follow me."
The big rat was still squeaking and struggling towards the manhole cover, but it was unable to break free from Lin Tantan, so it could only lie on the ground in despair like a dead rat and be dragged away by Lin Tantan.
Lin Tantan turned around and saw a tall figure walking towards him. Even though it was pitch black, she recognized it as Ye Xiao at a glance. She had just taken a sneak shot and was still feeling uneasy, so she immediately tried to divert his attention: "Look what I caught!"
Lin Tantan wanted to pick up the big rat to show off, but the rat was so cunning that it took advantage of her unpreparedness to jump up and run away with great strength.
Lin Tantan was pulled by it and couldn't stand steadily. Fortunately, Ye Xiao came over quickly to help her up, and at the same time pulled her wooden tie, pulled the mouse back that flew into the air, and stepped on it.
"Squeak! Squeak!" The mouse struggled hard. Ye Xiao stepped harder and the mouse screamed miserably, then lay down obediently, not daring to move anymore.
Ye Xiao: "What is this? A rat?"
"Yeah, I caught it from under the drain."
"It's hard to see here. Let's go back and take a look. I'll take it." Ye Xiao asked Lin Tantan to move away. Lin Tantan looked at him and said, "But if I let go, the belt will come undone soon."
I almost forgot that this was her special ability, not a real rope. Ye Xiao didn't have any rope on him, so he had to let her continue to maintain the belt, and he pulled the lower part and tugged at the mouse pretending to be dead.
The big rat seemed to know that it couldn't escape, and walked dejectedly on its own paws.
Ye Xiao was surprised that this mouse seemed to understand some human nature.
Lin Tan Tan was thinking: Hey, he is holding my hand so high up that the edge of his palm is touching my hand. She quietly extended the strap a little to prevent their hands from rubbing.
Bai Cheng was still writing and drawing something when he saw the two people who had left one after the other return, walking back with something. He took a closer look: "Rat?"
Under the light, the giant rat's appearance was completely revealed: a larger version of a common house mouse, its fur shinier and thicker, its claws sharper, and its eyes more lively. Seeing Bai Cheng, it probably knew this guy was no match for them. Outnumbered, it gave up all thought of escaping and resignedly sank to the ground.
Bai Cheng frowned: "Rats are this big now?"
"I don't know. This is the first time I've seen it. It was scratching under the drain and was about to run out when I found it." As Lin Tantan was talking, he saw the mouse casually digging the ground with its claws twice, leaving deep claw marks. The corners of the three people's eyes twitched, because this was a concrete floor.
Lin Tantan suddenly thought of something and found a steel bar and stretched it in front of the mouse. The mouse was not interested at first, but after a while, it started to chew on it with a crunching sound. It didn't bite it completely, but the teeth marks were very clear.
Is this thing about to evolve into an iron-eating beast?
Ye Xiao and Bai Cheng both realized the seriousness of the matter. Ordinary people would definitely not be able to deal with such a rat.
They asked someone to bring over a live chicken, which was one of the only few poultry here. After having the mouse scratch it and finding no signs of infection, they breathed a sigh of relief. But just as they have now discovered that birds can be divided into zombie birds and mutant birds, they are afraid that there will also be zombie mice, and even other animals will undergo similar changes.
They discussed blocking all the sewers, drains, etc., and at the same time going out to various places tomorrow to see how many rats and animals had become like this.
"What about this rat? Kill it?" Both of them looked at the rat on the ground. Lin Tantan squatted there and watched it gnawing on the steel bar. It had already gnawed out several pieces. It would definitely not be able to be trapped by the rope of an ordinary cage. If it was not killed, how could Lin Tantan keep tying it up with his supernatural powers?
"Don't kill it yet. Keep it for me for two days." Lin Tantan said. She always felt that this rat was not simple. Considering the time, these animals running on the ground had just mutated, but this rat seemed to be too powerful, which made her think of some things.
There are many examples in the apocalypse, such as pets raised before the apocalypse mutating and then becoming loyal bodyguards of their owners.
Lin Tantan certainly has no shortage of bodyguards, but just as humans have their own organizations, mutant animals also have their own teams. In the last few years of the world, the essence is actually the game and struggle between the human race and other different populations of mutant animals, zombies, and zombie animals.
Most of the time there are fights, but there are also examples of cooperation.
It is said that there are two typical examples in the apocalypse. Both are bases that are not very strong, have a small population, and are isolated from the world. The reason they can survive is that the former is because the base is built at the foot of a mountain and maintains friendly and peaceful exchanges with the mutant monkeys on the mountain. If one side is in trouble, the other side will go to help; the latter is because it is built on a high mountain and has become a good neighbor of the mutant pine trees all over the mountain.
Lin Tan Tan wondered if she could learn from this and create a group of mutant rats to serve as thugs. She felt that this rat was extraordinary and had the potential to become the leader of a group of mutant rats.
Ye Xiao's expression was a little strange: "You want to raise it?"
"Let's give it a try," Lin Tantan said. "Don't worry, I'll be careful. It's not contagious anyway."
Ye Xiao still tried to dissuade her: "If you want to keep an animal like this, how about I pick one for you next time you see a dog? Dogs are more obedient and smarter." A mouse really didn't look like something that could be kept tame. "A cat would be nice too." Don't girls prefer cats? Keeping a mouse, wouldn't that be a beautiful sight?
Lin Tan Tan said, "We'll talk about it next time when we have a dog. Anyway, I think this mouse is quite pleasing to the eye."
Ye Xiao: “…”
Lin Tan said with a smile: "If we really can't raise them well, we can just kill them and eat their meat." The meat of mutant animals is also quite nutritious and contains some energy. Even rat meat is highly sought after by people.
When the rat heard her say to kill it and eat the meat, the rat that was gnawing on the steel bar stopped.
Lin Tantan glanced at it, raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up and said, "Then I'll go back first."
Ye Xiao said: "I'll take you there."
"No, no, you guys continue with your work." Lin Tantan said hurriedly.
Ye Xiao still insisted on showing off: "What if it escapes again?"
"This is easy." Lin Tantan said as he used a wide wooden belt to wrap the mouse into a green ball. Not a single hair was exposed. He held it in his hand, just like holding a ball, and it also had the effect of a fluorescent light.
"I was caught off guard just now. How could it have succeeded even if I had been prepared?" Lin Tantan was quite complacent, quite confident in his own abilities. He waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving now. No need to see me off, really."
Ye Xiao could only watch her walk into the night alone. Her back looked particularly handsome and strong. He suddenly felt that he was completely useless.
Bai Cheng looked at her for a long time and finally laughed. Fortunately, he gave up quickly. It was not easy to pursue a girl like this.
Ye Xiao turned around and gave him a gloomy look. Bai Cheng patted his shoulder and said, "Keep working hard."
…
Lin Tan Tan carried the green ball all the way back. She met two patrols along the way. They were surprised by her and asked her what she was holding. Lin Tan Tan was very calm: "Nothing, a fluorescent ball."
The other party said: "This green fluorescent ball is really scary when seen from a distance." A green ball took off from the ground and floated over.
Lin Tantan returned to 302 and turned on the living room light. The light was dim and unsteady, after all, it was powered by a generator. She took off her coat, which was a bit in the way, carried the mouse into the bathroom, put it in the tub, and unwrapped it, revealing the mouse, which seemed to be terrified.
Seeing that she was alone, the mouse's first reaction was to run away.
Lin Tan Tan quickly wrapped its four paws around it, causing it to fall back as soon as it jumped up.
"Squeak!" The mouse looked a little angry.
"You want to run away? You still want to run away after falling into my hands?"
"Squeak!" The mouse showed its sharp teeth, and its shifty look was very ferocious. There was a golden glow on its pointed teeth, and the hair on its neck stood up.
Lin Tantan was not scared at all: "Gold-type abilities, right? Look at what you're capable of. Let's see whose gold-type ability is stronger." With a few swishes and a flash of golden light, she instantly chopped the steel bar that she brought back with the mouse into eight pieces, which rolled away in the white and smooth bathtub with a clang.
mouse:"……"
The mouse curled up into a ball and trembled.
Lin Tantan was satisfied: "Just stay still and don't move. I'll give you a bath. You look so dirty." As she spoke, a trickle of water flowed from the palm of her right hand, wetting the mouse's fur. Then she squeezed a large amount of shower gel on the mouse and rubbed it all over until it was covered with bubbles.
She only had one hand to operate it, and the mouse was intimidated, probably because its claws were tied. Sure enough, it squatted there and let Lin Tan squeeze and knead it. It only cried out softly when it felt uncomfortable.
"Why are you just a mouse? You could be a hamster or a vole, but it would be so ugly to show it outside. So your role is to be a working mouse, understand?"
"Do you have any minions? Just call as many as you can to me."
"Can you fight zombie animals?"
"Can you get information? Can you kill zombies?"
After blabbering on for a long time, applying shower gel several times, and rinsing again and again, it was finally clean.
Lin Tantan's mind moved, and a small red flame appeared in his palm. The mouse flinched in fear, but when it realized that Lin Tantan was not going to burn it with the flame, but was just drying its fur, it gradually calmed down, squinting its eyes and enjoying it. "Squeak!" Its long tail began to wag.
This sound was much gentler than before, and contained a hint of obedience.
After the mouse mutated, it became much smarter. A human with four abilities was too intimidating to it, so it was not unacceptable for it to obey such a powerful person.
After the mouse's hair was dried, the mouse instantly became larger. Its light gray fur became soft and smooth, and there was a small tuft of inconspicuous golden hair on the top of its head. It did not look very similar to an ordinary house mouse, but it looked quite cute.
Lin Tantan walked out of the bathroom, and it followed obediently behind him. Lin Tantan took a ham from the coffee table and gave it to it. It ate it with a few gulps of delicious food. Lin Tantan then threw a gold crystal core to it. It seemed even happier, holding the crystal core and eating it with a crunch like chewing a biscuit.
Lin Tantan narrowed his eyes. The crystal core that would explode if used improperly by the human mutant was actually bitten into pieces and swallowed by the rat.
She touched the guy's unpleasant pointed head and said, "Be good and obedient, there will be plenty of delicious food and crystal cores for you."
The next day, January 15th, several teams were sent out from the west of the city to explore, and they came back saying that they saw some mutant animals and zombie animals.
These two types are easy to distinguish. Mutated animals generally become larger, stronger, and more powerful. As long as there is enough food, they are not so aggressive towards humans and will not be infected.
Zombie animals are much uglier, similar to zombies, with rotten bodies all over, rarely having a good piece of skin, and they are embarrassed to go out unless their bodies are covered with pus. Their cries are all roars, and they are even more manic, with no intelligence at all, and they only know how to eat endlessly, and are contagious.
Not long after receiving this news, some zombie cats and dogs came from outside the west of the city. They were chasing the latest batch of survivors. There were about ten of them in total, all of them were deformed, covered in blood, with bloodshot or yellow eyes, drooling, and barking heavily and roughly, like the demons from hell in anime, very creepy.
They mixed in with some zombies and slowly approached, knowing that there were countless delicious foods behind the high wall.
The zombies were blocked by the trench and fell into it one after another, but cats and dogs were not like that. They still had the ability to jump. One of the zombie black cats with scarlet eyes, in particular, howled and leaped forward, and jumped onto the high wall. With two swipes of its sharp claws, it jumped to the top of the wall. The next moment, it was hit by a wind blade, its head and body separated, and it fell heavily into the trench.
Ye Xiao stood on the wall with an expressionless face, looking at these zombie cats and dogs indifferently.
On his left and right, there were people guarding their posts at a short distance. Among these people were ordinary people, people with special abilities who had rich experience in fighting enemies, and new people with special abilities who had been trained under Lin Tantan.
At first glance, there are quite a lot of people, and building an artificial barrier on top of this high wall is a spectacular sight.
When several more cats and dogs rushed up, a female mutant in her thirties seemed to be rubbing something in her hand, and an ice spike quickly appeared and pierced the big dog zombie.
Another female psychic released a red, burning fireball, which hit a zombie cat on the head.
As a zombie dog with a broken leg slowly crawled out from the bottom of the trench, a young man put his hands on the high wall under his feet and muttered something to cheer himself up. Then, two earth spikes suddenly protruded from the wall under the zombie dog's feet and pierced the belly of the zombie dog, which was almost crawling on the wall because of its short legs.
Lin Tantan was also on the wall, watching the performance of these psychics who came out from under his command. He touched his chin with some relief, thinking that they were finally doing a bit better.
The author has something to say: Ye Xiao: I am often troubled by the fact that the person I like is too capable. Let me show my boyfriend power!
