Looking at Lin Cheng who looked disbelieving, the old man couldn't help but sigh, "Forgot what I just said? Discipline! This group of rats has extremely strict discipline, and this time of day is when they gather.
, whenever this time, no matter what these mice are doing or what they encounter, they must immediately put down what they are doing and rush to the central square of the city to meet up! So let alone you at this time, even if a huge piece of cheese is placed
They won’t even look at them in front of them, do you understand?!”
"Is this...really fake?"
After listening to the old man's explanation, Lin Cheng was suddenly shocked. The biggest difference between people and things is the restraint of desire. Even if a person faces the temptation to fight again, as long as it may threaten his life safety, then what he is doing is
They will think twice before deciding on anything, but animals don't think so much. Even if they have suffered countless losses, as long as the other party changes their tactics slightly, these animals will easily take the bait again.
But the behavior of these giant rats completely broke this rule. Since Xiaolin City, he had heard many stories about rats stealing food. Some drowned in oil tanks, and some were tricked into falling into rubber shoes, so he always thought
Rats are extremely greedy and wretched animals, but the group of rats he met today suddenly made him realize that when animals have an IQ comparable to humans, apart from the difference in size, what they do does not matter.
How much more stupid than humans!
"Understand?"
Seeing the thoughtful look on Lin Cheng's face, the old man smiled bitterly and said: "The reason why I want to drag you in is because the batch of rats that just passed by is already the last batch. If I don't drag you in,
When they disband and come back, it's time for you to die! These mice have greatly improved their sense of smell and hearing during the evolution process, so even if I was injured when I dragged you in, I had to
Close the secret door without making any noise, otherwise once they notice our presence, let alone a stone secret door, even a steel secret door will be destroyed by the giant rat army.
Then the two of us will wait until all our flesh is eaten away and then die in the wilderness!"
"...Is it so scary?"
Lin Cheng didn't believe it when the old man said the consequences were so serious. He had seen too many powerful monsters and mutated beasts, and had fought against countless others. He had never seen anyone who could peel off his skin and cramp him.
.
"have!"
Seeing Lin Cheng's nonchalant expression, the old man's expression suddenly became serious, "I don't know how powerful you are, but since you can reach this city across such a long distance, you must not be a simple character. But,
Have you ever thought about a question? How many powerful characters have awakened among these rats, which have not encountered any natural enemies since the advent of the apocalypse, under the unrestrained self-evolution? Just like just now, I am arresting you.
Before, you were probably looking for the hole that the giant rats drilled out, right? Let me tell you, this hole exists, and it is in the corridor outside, but you will never find it! Because this hole has long been occupied by rats.
The mouse with illusion ability has sealed it. Unless it takes the initiative to release it, let alone you and me, even its kind will not be able to find the door to their home!"
At this point, the old man might have been a little thirsty after talking too much in one breath. "Gudu" Gudu "gulped down another large glass of water and then continued: "And this is just one of the giant rats that has awakened its ability! This one
I don't know exactly how many rats there are in the city, but I estimate there must be at least hundreds of thousands! With such a large 'rat army', how many legs do you think you have once you attract the attention of these guys?
If you are strong enough to escape, how capable can you be to fight your way out among these rats?"
"……All right."
As the old man's tone became more and more serious, Lin Cheng finally realized the seriousness of the problem. He now finally understood what this old man who seemed to be quite powerful was afraid of. He could ignore one or two mutant mice.
In my eyes, even ten or twenty of them can be killed with hard work, but what if there are two hundred or two thousand?
Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. This saying may not apply to all situations, but it definitely applies to the current situation. Under the attack of the endless mutant rat army, not to mention this old man, even Lin Cheng himself has no confidence.
Able to escape!
"It seems like you did save my life."
Thinking of what he did when he first arrived in this city, Lin Cheng couldn't help but feel a cold sweat break out on his back. He didn't dare to imagine the consequences if he made any more noise. After all, the old man just said,
The enchantment array arranged by the giant rat with only the ability of illusion can make him unable to find the rat hole even with all his efforts. So if they really attracted the attention of the rats early, then God knows where he will be now.
, or maybe it’s still gone...
Shaking his head slightly, the old man said nonchalantly: "It's not about saving or not. The reason why I risked my life to bring you here is because I also meant to save your life, but more importantly,
, once you start a fight with the rats who discovered you in the corridor outside, then my secret room will most likely be exposed during your battle, and by then it will be too late for me to regret..."
"Ah……"
Hearing what the old man said so openly, Lin Cheng's affection for this guy doubled, because even if he really had a conflict with those rats, he wouldn't be able to stay in this narrow place and keep himself at a disadvantage, so no matter he
No matter how much he fights with the rats, it is unlikely that the other party will be affected, but since the old man can survive alone in this dead city full of mutated rats for so long, it is actually right to be so cautious.
"Since you dare to speak now, does that mean that the group of rats has finished their meeting and now they have gone back to their houses to find their mothers?"
Since the old man didn't want to talk more about whether to save him or not, Lin Cheng didn't force him and directly changed the topic.
"……uncertain."
After frowning and thinking for a moment, the old man shook his head and said: "If such a large group of rats wants to survive or even evolve, it needs a huge amount of food! There are actually cruel survival rules among this group of rats.
, after every gathering, most of these mice need to look for prey, and once two or even three or four groups of mice are eyeing the same prey, a fierce fight will definitely occur! And now it is them
When searching for prey, as long as we don't make too much noise, we won't easily attract their attention." (To be continued)
