53. Discover the nest

On the third floor of a shop, a team was attacked by toothed rats.

A dark shadow sprang out from a corner, and one of the members hurriedly lifted a rotten plank that was used as a shield, and was hit by the force of the impact against the crumbling wall, leaving a large cloud of dust in the air.

It is a mouse-like mutant creature that is nearly a meter long, hairless, disgusting, wrinkled, and has huge front teeth. Its incisors can easily bite through stone, wood, and bones, a kind of guy that eats almost anything.

It is also a food source for most humans.

Only the stone squad can do little effective damage to the toothed rats. During the dodge, two members were scratched, and at the critical moment, one of the members pushed down the crumbling wall, crushed the toothed rat underneath, stepped on it, picked up a rock, and smashed it down.

In the wail, the toothed rat was silent. A line of subtitles appears on the member's retina.

Kill the Toothed Rat, gain XP*10, and the next upgrade is required: 40 experience.

"I've gained experience." He let out a long sigh of relief. Throw away the rocks in your hands.

"We don't." The two men helped the injured member to get up.

The member was stunned: "Only the person who kills it can gain experience?" ”

It's a long sigh of relief that the stats panel doesn't have a negative status, and the wound is just a normal scratch.

He dragged the toothed rat out of the rubble, and after a moment's hesitation, picked up the stone again and rubbed the toothed rat's mouth, breaking off the front teeth that could be used as daggers.

Anyway, there is already one person who meets the needs of the task.

On the other side, Mu Su, who was walking on a deserted street, asked the three team members for their names.

After knowing the name, Mu Su can give the corresponding instructions more quickly. Otherwise, you can't call that or that. ”

The three members say their names and look around without squinting.

Chen Yue sighed slightly: "You don't have to say what you think in your heart. ”

Mu Su Zhenzhen said: "If you don't say it, how do you know that I'm serious?" ”

Chen Yue was speechless, knowing that this was a fallacy but unable to refute it. Finally, he said with a cold cheek: "If you don't talk and don't do superfluous things, I think it will be very, very serious." ”

"Really?"

"Really."

Mu Su pulled on his mouth and kept silent.

Mu Su's team was tasked with searching a four-story apartment, lingering at the door for a moment before they stepped inside.

At the end of the hallway is an elevator with a metal door ajar to reveal a blackened shaft. Two corridors that stretch to the left and right, dimly lit. Useless debris is piled up everywhere on the ground.

Some of the apartment doors are ajar, some are closed. The closed door left clear marks of being smashed.

They can't get in without opening the door.

The crowd exited the apartment and peered in through the window.

Apparently they weren't the first to think that way. All rooms were swept away. Maybe the upper floors would be better, but the cracked and worn walls had no place to climb.

Chen Yue led the two members upstairs to search. Musu and the member named Gerald tried to enter the room from the outside to see if there were any supplies.

"Be careful......

Chen Yue was not there, and Mu Su also returned to normal. Whispered a reminder to Gerald who climbed up the window.

"What's wrong?" Gerald paused, leaning slightly short behind the wall and asked.

"There may be poop beast ......," Mu Su whispered.

Gerald's face was blank for a moment.

"A mysterious creature that haunts abandoned houses. No one has ever seen a real face. I only know that when a house is abandoned, the poop beast will sense it and poop inside......"

Gerald didn't know whether to listen seriously or not, and crawled into the window with a complicated expression.

He first inspected the large and small rooms, and after making sure that there was no danger, he opened the almost rusty door from the inside and called Mu Su to enter.

Vines crept in through the window, and the floor of the room was littered with planks and traces of fire. Apart from these, there was nothing left - even the toilets and pools were shattered and porcelain was all over the floor.

A few minutes later, Chen Yue and the others came down from upstairs and shook their heads slightly.

"It's too close to the gathering point, I'm afraid there have been dozens of waves of people searching for supplies here."

There was no point in wasting time here, and Chen Yue and the others returned to the first shop to explain the situation to Joyce.

"That's why we're staying here." Joyce replied. Explain to a few people. "There's no doubt that there are supplies deep in the city. Why are those things still there after a few years and not gone? ”

"Because of the danger."

Joyce nodded: "Dangerous for survivors, just as dangerous for us, if not more dangerous." Because we don't even have a handful of iron. Don't put yourself in danger until your strength improves. Prioritize completing secondary objectives and getting rewards before making plans. ”

"Understood." Chen Yue nodded. "What about food and water?"

"There's a river near the mouth of the Hale Cave, food-"

The shop suddenly darkened, and several figures standing in the doorway blocked the light source. The leader carries a hairless creature with a bloody head.

"It's a toothed rat." He said that after a brief description of previous encounters and the characteristics of the toothed rat, the attributes of the toothed rat were revealed.

* Deadtooth Rat: Can be eaten, or can be brought to the gathering point to obtain varying experience point rewards.

"β€”it's all over the place." Joyce continued her previous words and said to Chen Yue.

There was Joyce as the logistic. It is enough for members not to have to worry about anything other than gathering supplies.

He found some unusable iron sheets of the car, which were concave into shapes to boil water. Torches are made from tree oil, and strips of cloth are washed and used as bandages.

The toothed rat carcass is stored in the corner. Prepare as food, as well as traps.

It was getting dark, and the members had advanced to about 300 meters of the long street. Mu Su's team still hadn't found any supplies and mutated creatures, which made Chen Yue's heart gradually impatient.

Once again, to no avail, the five returned from the backyard of a shop.

Walking to the edge of a courtyard wall, Chen Yue's feet suddenly emptied, and her calves sank into the ground. The surrounding members hurriedly returned to help, but Chen Yue raised his hand to stop them.

With a hint of doubt on her cheeks, she pulled her leg out of the ground.

Some wood chips were brought along. And there was a black space in the same place.

Stepping back cautiously, Chen Yue and a few others brushed away the surrounding sand, and a rotten wooden plank appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

It's a cellar.

One of the members whose names Mu Su didn't remember was signaled and lifted the plank. A cool breeze with a fishy smell blows on your face.

Gerald took out the improvised torch made by the logistics team, lit it with flint and handed it to Chen Yue.

Chen Yue took it and poked the torch into the dark cellar.

The flickering firelight illuminates the cellar space, the ground is strewn with bones, and there are two swarthy holes in the earthen walls from which the wind comes from.

In the other corner, a generator is placed, and the gnawed potholes have almost lost their prototype.

Some creatures use this as a lair.

Chen Yue blew out her fire torch and asked everyone, "What will build a nest underground?" ”

Mu Su picked up the wooden branch to write on the ground, but Chen Yue stood up with his ears in his hands.

"Honestly."

"It hurts, it hurts...... It's a rat or an ant. ”

One member spoke: "The ground is new. Whatever it is, they'll be back. ”
