Chapter 686: Baby Mouse
On the other side, Sister Zhang and her group stepped into the dark sewer.
The light outside was not very bright, but fortunately there was still a hint of moonlight.
But in the sewer, there was no light at all.
It was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
Xiang Lan volunteered to take the lead because the Frost Sword in her hand at least had the function of warning of danger.
The few people walked for nearly ten minutes before they realized that the space in the sewer was getting narrower and narrower.
If it weren't for the faint glow of the Frost Sword, everyone would not be able to see the road in front of them clearly.
After walking for less than ten minutes, Xiaolang said softly:
"Did you notice it?"
"Found."
The beautiful girl replied immediately.
Xiang Lan, who was leading the way, also stopped and looked down at the ground beneath her feet.
At this time, everyone's ankles were covered with a layer of black, mud-like substance.
However, this sludge-like substance doesn’t look like sludge.
It's more like a layer of greasy stuff.
"What is this? It smells weird and fishy."
The petite beauty muttered.
Xiang Lan reached out her hand and wiped a little, then put it to the tip of her nose and asked:
"It does have a fishy smell, maybe..."
"Corpse oil."
The person who said these two words was Sister Zhang.
Hearing this, Xiao Lang and the little beauty behind them suddenly felt nauseous.
How many people would it take to have such a thick layer of corpse oil?
Few people dared even to think about it.
If it weren't for the purpose of crossing the ratmen's gathering place, they really didn't want to get into this kind of sewer.
"Let's go, at least there's no danger now."
Xiang Lan looked at the Frost Sword in his hand and said.
Indeed, the Frost Sword did not emit any cold air, which meant that their surroundings were definitely safe.
After walking for a while, they discovered that sticky substances were beginning to appear on the walls.
Xiao Lang stumbled because of an unstable footing.
I almost fell down and subconsciously grabbed the wall with my hand.
However, that touch was not the touch of a cold wall.
Sticky, soft...
"Ah~~"
Xiaolang was so frightened that he shouted subconsciously.
"what happened?"
Sister Zhang asked hurriedly.
"This wall seems to be wrong."
Xiao Lang said hurriedly.
Xiang Lan then activated her spiritual energy, and saw that the Frost Sword in her hand became much brighter than before.
"Ah~~"
At this moment, when she saw the wall clearly, even the little beauty exclaimed subconsciously except for the sound.
Although Sister Zhang and Xiang Lan were relatively calm, they also gasped.
I saw that the entire wall was covered with a greasy, translucent film.
And there seem to be some tiny and messy blood vessels on the surface of this film.
It looks like... the surface of an embryo.
However, with the faint light, you can see clearly what's behind this film.
There were densely packed corpses everywhere, including men, women, old and young.
Among these corpses, there were also quite a few young ratmen.
These ratmen were like newborn babies, curled up in a ball with their eyes closed.
If their claws hadn't moved from time to time, I would have thought these ratmen were corpses.
Xiang Lan looked to the other side and found that the wall on the other side was the same.
"How disgusting~" The beautiful girl made a disgusting expression.
"It seems that these ratmen can use the nutrients from human corpses to breed ratmen."
"That is to say, even if they don't infect humans, they can still reproduce in large numbers."
Xiang Lan expressed her thoughts, and the little beauty followed suit:
"That is to say, these corpse oils may be left by these corpses?"
"For some reason, these corpses did not become one of the ratmen."
"Then, these young mice treated it as food and began to absorb its nutrients?"
The little beautiful girl was right in her guess. Now there seems to be no other explanation except this one.
"Keep going, hurry up, and get out of this sewer before dawn."
Sister Zhang urged.
"Don't we clean up the baby mice here?" The beautiful girl felt it was too disgusting, so she said this.
"I'm afraid if we hurt these young mice now, we'll expose our whereabouts."
Sister Zhang has concerns.
It’s not that he didn’t want to eliminate the harm to the people, but he was worried that his team would expose their whereabouts.
By then, it really will be more trouble than gain.
"It's easy. I have a way."
The beautiful girl smiled proudly and raised her pretty face.
He then cast a spell on his hand, and saw a fist-sized block of ice condense.
"This is a frost bomb. I can detonate it at any time."
After that, the little beauty fixed the frost bomb and said:
"We'll release one after we're gone for a bit, and I'll detonate it once we're out of the sewers."
Xiao Lang chuckled and said, "That's a good idea. It looks like we won't be able to cooperate this time."
The beautiful girl smiled proudly and said, "I can cooperate with you. Just stay here and wait for the explosion."
"Go, forget it."
After the two of them joked for a while, they started moving forward again.
Along the way, there were countless baby rats and corpses on both sides of the wall.
Fortunately, the sewer was not blocked and there was no danger along the way.
After walking for nearly three more hours, everyone finally saw a faint light coming from the distance.
"It's the exit, everyone follow up."
Sister Zhang urged.
Not long after, everyone arrived at the exit of the sewer.
Several people were not in a hurry to walk out of the sewer, and they didn't know whether there were ratmen outside.
Xiang Lan glanced at the Frost Sword in his hand and found nothing unusual, then he strode out.
At this time, the sky was already turning a little pale.
The darkness before dawn is still so gloomy.
Sister Zhang identified the direction and found that she had indeed passed through the entire Tangshan city.
Looking at the dense woods around us, we should have reached the barren mountains in the suburbs.
In fact, the more desolate the mountains and forests are, the safer the route is.
There are few rats in this place, so even if we encounter dozens of them, four people can easily deal with them.
If they encounter a large number of ratmen in the town, the few of them will not be enough.
Sister Zhang and her men straddled two large forests, and indeed encountered a few scattered ratmen in the forest.
They were all dealt with easily.
Finally, after climbing over a hill, everyone looked towards the urban area of Tangshan City.
The little beauty smiled and said, "Watch me."
