Chapter 126
The rat was not infected. It had just mutated. The eyes of infected animals were red.
After the rat came out, it did not attack them but hid in the corner and spun around uneasily. It was huge but very thin. From the outside, one could see the contour of its bones. Su Shanshan put away the ice blade in her hand, hesitated for a moment, took out a piece of bread from her bag, broke it, and threw it at the rat.
The rat carefully leaned over and took a bite. After taking a small bite, it closed its eyes as if it was waiting for something. This phenomenon was a little strange, but neither of them disturbed it.
After a while, the rat opened its eyes and squeaked at a corner. Then a fat rat slowly walked out. There was a string of little rats behind it. The little rats followed closely behind the fat rat. The last rat was probably a newborn. It could not even walk steadily. Its stagger made one worry that it would fall in a second.
It seemed to be a family of rats. The fat rat walked to the thin rat. The two rats interacted intimately and began to eat the food on the ground. The little rats were also famished. They hurriedly followed their mother to eat the bread on the ground.
The thin rat squatted on the side and watched. It was clearly the thinnest among them, but it was the first to share its food with its family.
Su Shanshan raised her eyebrows. So it had taken a bite just now to test if it was poisonous. She finally knew why this rat was so thin.
She looked at Gu Jincheng and asked, "Are they what you want me to find?"
Gu Jincheng nodded, a hint of light flashing in his eyes as he said, "You'll know in a while. We can go out now."
Su Shanshan took out a small box of bread from her space, tore open the packaging, and placed it on the ground. With enough food, the first thin rat was finally willing to eat. It looked in Su Shanshan's direction and knelt down on its two front legs like it was kowtowing to show its gratitude.
Su Shanshan did not mind. She heard Gu Jincheng's words and walked straight to the door. As soon as she opened the door, she saw tree roots crawling outside. When the tree roots saw them coming out, they attacked the two of them frantically. Fortunately, Su Shanshan reacted quickly and closed the door abruptly to block the tree roots' attacks.
All the roots that were blocking the way attached themselves to the door. The iron door was scratched by the barbs on the roots, making sounds that made one's teeth ache. The iron door was corroded by the sap on the roots. It would not last long.
"How do we get out of this situation?" Surprised, Su Shanshan asked. She did not believe that Gu Jincheng was not aware of the situation outside.
"Let's go downstairs." Gu Jincheng had already used his mental power to investigate this place before he came in. There was a passage from this room that they could use to reach the first floor directly. However, there was a small problem. It was a narrow enough for only one person at a time. Gu Jincheng could not get down in a wheelchair.
"Then why didn't you say so earlier!" Su Shanshan complained. She knew the ability of mental superpower. After feeling envious again, she walked to the corner and tidied the boxes and junk there. Then she saw a hole on the ground that was as wide as a person. This was the home of these rats.
"Sorry, I'm going to destroy your home," Su Shanshan said to the rats. She did not know if they understood her, but they took a step back as if they were giving her space.
A ball of ice hit the hole. The hole, which was originally the width of a person, was more than three times wider now. Now, Gu Jincheng's wheelchair could also pass smoothly. They just had to look at the tunnel. How to get down was a problem. They could not throw Gu Jincheng down with his wheelchair.
Just as Su Shanshan was at a loss for what to do, Gu Jincheng had already slid his wheelchair in front of the surveillance screen. However, these screens were all black. A ball of lightning gathered in his hand and he suddenly swung it at these computer screens. After a series of crackling sounds, these computers were destroyed, and the wires connected to the computers were revealed. Gu Jincheng gathered the wires in his hand and said, "Go down from here and turn left to find them in the third room. Then leave this mall from the first floor."
