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 chased after him.
Lin Tan Tan fled the scene quickly, found a shelter and looked at his phone furtively. Alas, I didn't take the picture of the scene I wanted to take the most. Later, when they talked, their postures and expressions changed, and the feeling of burning gay passion faded.
But... it was still a good deal. Lin Tan Tan happily moved the photos into a new folder and even 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, it immediately stopped moving and tried to shrink back, but Lin Tantan would not 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 downwards, and when she saw that there was nothing else underneath, she put the manhole cover back on.
Then she looked at the thing she caught. It was very fat, with a pointed head and a fat body, a long tail, and lush gray fur. It looked healthy, but a little dirty. Lin Tan was amused. This was a mutant mouse, three or four times the size of an ordinary mouse. Its eyes were very smart, and it was trying desperately 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 trying to struggle towards the manhole cover, but it was unable to break free from Lin Tan Tan and could only lie on the ground in despair like a dead rat, being dragged away by Lin Tan Tan.
Lin Tantan turned around and saw a tall figure walking towards him. Even though it was pitch black, she recognized it as Ye Xiao. She had just taken a sneak shot and felt 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, jumped up, and tried to run away with tremendous force.
Lin Tantan was pulled by it and couldn't stand steadily. Fortunately, Ye Xiao came over quickly and helped her up. He also pulled her wooden belt and pulled the mouse back that flew into the air and stepped on it.
"Squeak! Squeak!" The mouse struggled hard. Ye Xiao applied more force on his feet. The mouse cried miserably and then lay down obediently, not daring to move anymore.
Ye Xiao: "What is this? A mouse?"
"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 fall apart soon."
She almost forgot that this was her special ability, not a real rope. Ye Xiao didn't have any ropes or anything on him, so she had to let her continue to hold the belt while she 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 it walked dejectedly using its own paws.
Ye Xiao was surprised that this mouse actually had some human nature.
Lin Tan Tan was thinking: Hey, he is holding my hand so high 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 or drawing something when he saw the two people who had left one after the other come back, walking with something. He took a closer look: "Rat?"
Under the light, the appearance of the big rat was completely revealed. It was an enlarged version of an ordinary house mouse, and its fur was shinier and thicker, its claws were sharper, and its eyes were more lively. When it saw Bai Cheng, it probably knew that this guy was not an easy one to deal with. It was one against three, so it completely gave up the idea of escaping and resigned itself to the fate of lying on 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, leaving deep claw marks. The three of them twitched their eyes, because this was a concrete floor.
Lin Tantan 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. 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 rats.
They asked someone to bring over a live chicken, which was one of the only poultry here. After the mouse scratched it and found no 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 may be zombie mice as well, and even other animals may undergo similar changes.
They discussed blocking all the sewers, drains, etc., and going out to various places tomorrow to see how many rats and animals have become like this.
"What about this rat? Kill it?" Both of them were looking at the rat on the ground. Lin Tantan squatted there and watched it gnawing on the steel bars. 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 wasn't 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, the animals running on the ground had just mutated, but this rat seemed to be too powerful. This made her think of something.
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 was built at the foot of a mountain and maintained friendly and peaceful relations 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 was built on a high mountain and became 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 or something. 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 keep it?"
"Let's give it a try." Lin Tantan said, "Don't worry, I'll be careful. It doesn't infect humans anyway."
Ye Xiao still tried to dissuade her: "If you want to raise such an animal, how about I pick one for you next time you see a dog? Dogs are more obedient and smarter." A mouse really doesn't look like something that can be raised well, "or else a cat is also good." Don't girls prefer cats? Raising a mouse, that picture is really beautiful, right
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 it tamed, we can just kill it and eat the meat." The meat of mutant animals is also very nutritious and contains some energy. Even rat meat is sought after by many people.
When the rat heard her say to kill it and eat the meat, the rat that was gnawing on the steel bars 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, just continue with your work." Lin Tantan said hurriedly.
Ye Xiao still insisted on showing off: "What if it runs away 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, and it was just like holding a ball, and it even had the effect of a fluorescent light.
"I was caught off guard just now. How could it succeed even if I had been prepared?" Lin Tantan was quite pleased with himself. He was quite confident in his own strength. 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 chic and tough. 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 is not easy to chase a girl like this.
Ye Xiao turned around and looked at him dimly. 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 said calmly: "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 Tan Tan returned to 302 and turned on the small light in the living room. The light was dim and unstable, after all, it was powered by a generator. She took off her coat that was a bit in the way, carried the mouse into the bathroom, put it in the bathtub, and unwrapped it, revealing the mouse that seemed to be frightened.
When the mouse saw that she was alone, its 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? You still want to run after you fall into my hands?"
"Squeak!" The mouse showed its sharp teeth. It looked very ferocious with its shifty eyes. 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-related abilities, right? Look how capable you are. Let's see whose gold-related ability is stronger." With a few swishing moves, and a few flashes 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 shivered.
Lin Tan Tan 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. As expected, it squatted there and let Lin Tan knead and squeeze 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 take it out. So you are a working mouse, you know?"
"Do you have any followers? Call as many as you can to me."
"Can you fight zombie animals?"
"Can you get information? Can you kill zombies?"
After talking for a long time, I applied shower gel several times, rinsed it again and again, and finally it was clean.
Lin Tantan's mind moved, and a small red flame appeared in his palm. The mouse shrank back in fear, but when it found that Lin Tantan was not going to burn it with flames, but to dry its fur, it gradually calmed down, squinted its eyes and enjoyed it: "Squeak!" The long tail also 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 was soft and smooth, with a small tuft of inconspicuous golden hair on the top of its head. It did not look like 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. Lin Tantan then threw it a gold crystal core. It seemed even happier and ate the crystal core with a crunch like it was chewing a biscuit.
Lin Tan Tan 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, which was 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 infect.
Zombie animals are much uglier, almost the same as zombies, with rotten bodies all over, rarely having a single piece of good skin, and they are embarrassed to go out unless their bodies are covered with pus, and all they make are roars. They are even more manic, have no intelligence at all, and 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 the cats and dogs would not. They still had the ability to jump. Especially one of the zombie black cats with scarlet eyes, it howled and leaped forward, and jumped onto the high wall. With two swipes of its sharp claws, it jumped onto 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 expressionlessly, 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 psychic in her thirties seemed to be rubbing something in her hand, and an ice spike soon appeared and pierced the big dog zombie.
Another female psychic released a red burning fireball, hitting 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, muttering something to cheer himself up. Then, two earth spikes suddenly protruded from the wall under the zombie dog's feet, piercing 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 his hands. He touched his chin with some relief, thinking that they were finally looking a little decent.
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!
