"Everyone, get on the speedboat quickly!"

Yuan Chongming loudly informed the other five teams left behind.

"Where's Ripple?"

Lin Yi asked directly.

"came back!"

Hearing that Ripple was returning to the team, the remaining people didn't hesitate anymore and quickly boarded the speedboat, then started the engine. After Ripple was the last one to jump on board, they immediately turned around and drove away from this terrifying place.

The sound of "boom boom boom" explosions was heard endlessly, and half of the shanty town behind them was blown down. Then everyone saw the mutated rats flying in the flames, and more rats were fleeing in panic.

"Oh my God! We've really hit a rat's nest!"

Sun Zhou took a breath and sighed.

"You should be lucky that we didn't go too deep, otherwise we would never have come out alive."

Chu Hong's cold voice reached everyone's ears.

"You mean those people are all dead?"

Tang Tianming asked after licking his lips.

"Otherwise! Otherwise Lianyi wouldn't use a time bomb!"

Zhao Jia answered.

After everyone heard this, they all turned to look at Ripple on the other speedboat. At this time, she was breathing heavily. This mission was the most embarrassing for her in so long.

After Lianyi took a deep breath, he immediately said loudly:

"Get out of here quickly, those rats are in the water!"

Sure enough, because the ripples blew up their lair, some rats were still carrying flames. These smart guys actually jumped directly into the water, and then the five speedboats became their targets again.

"withdraw!"

This time, everyone did not hesitate and quickly left their current location, but the expressions on everyone's faces were ugly.

"Lianyi, are you okay?"

Captain Lin Yi asked.

Ripple jumped onto the speedboat of Lin's team.

After listening to the other party's question, she waved her hand, sighed and said:
"Our rescue mission failed! There are no survivors there, and all I see are bones."

"."

Everyone on the speedboat was silent. This was the last news they wanted to hear.

"But I cooperated with Xuanfeng to get the rat boss back. I can at least do business when I get back."

Ripple finally told a piece of good news.

"Boss Rat?"

Lin Yi was also shocked.

"Here he is! I'll show you when I go back!"

Ripple patted the backpack behind him.

"Meow!" I also have a share of credit here, and Xuanfeng immediately expressed his credit.

"Your contribution is definitely indispensable!"

Ripple raised his hand and touched the whirlwind on his shoulder.

"At least this time we come out, we still have something to gain."

Lin Yi sighed.

Then everyone braved the high temperature and returned to the station before the sun went down.

After handing over the rat boss, the team that took over the mission dispersed, and their mood was not very high.

Shortly after they left, scientific researchers in white coats took the big rat away.

After everyone returned, they were greeted by Jiayao and Liu Zili. They saw that several people who had been out for the day were injured, and they immediately started to deal with them. "Uncle Liu, our injuries were caused by mouse bites. We don't know if we were infected with the virus. Please help us take care of it."

"okay, I get it!"

After the wounds were treated, everyone had something to eat and then gathered at Yuan Chongming's residence to discuss today's tasks.

"This is the first time our team has failed to complete its mission!"

"Hey! I always feel uncomfortable because I didn't rescue anyone."

Zhao Jia said weakly.

"It's not our fault, it's because those rats are too powerful in combat. I guessed before that those people should become the rats' food reserves. At least they can live for two more days until we get support. It's a pity."

Ripple also shook his head helplessly.

"Do you think those rats will become overrun? It feels like animals that have experienced extreme weather have mutated."

When Li Qian said that, all that flashed in his mind were huge rats, and then he looked at Xuanfeng, who was combing his hair in Lianyi's arms.

"Indeed, the whirlwind has also mutated, otherwise how could it dare to fight with the mutant rat boss!"

Ripple did not deny it.

"The temperature is rising now. What do you think will happen after all the accumulated water evaporates?"

Sun Weifeng asked.

"I don't know! But before that, let's save more water!"

Yuan Chongming ended the conversation with one sentence.

Three days later, the station issued an announcement to all survivors. After catching mutant rats, they could come to the station in exchange for food.

And I clearly tell everyone who wants to try eating mutant mice that mutant mice carry a lot of viruses. Although they will not die immediately after eating them, that is because the virus has an incubation period of one month and will start to rot from the internal organs. I hope you will not try it. Exchange food from regular channels.

As soon as the announcement came out, the survivors began to prepare various rat-catching tools. In their eyes, these rats were no longer hateful monsters, but food and the driving force for their survival.

The whole country has set off a rat-hunting frenzy. They are not afraid of too many of you, but they are afraid that you will not show your head. This will make Lianyi, the taskmaster, speechless. This is a confrontation with rats.

A few days later, Situ Yi came to see them and explained the secret.

"The rat boss brought back by Lianyi was dissected by scientific researchers, and it was found that although its skin contained viruses, the meat was indeed non-toxic. Although it is non-toxic, it cannot be eaten by simply cooking it, so the station will recycle it. After After high-temperature processing, it can be used as meat and temporarily supplied to survivors."

Zhao Jia swallowed after hearing this and asked in a trembling voice:
"Can you really eat it?"

"Ok!"

"Oh! Then we suffered a big loss! When we went to the mutant rat's lair, we killed so many that we gave others an advantage, so Ripple brought back the rat boss!"

Zhao Jia said sadly.

Ripple touched her nose. She felt that she would not choose to eat rat meat for the time being when other foods were available.

"I don't have any missions recently. How about we go there and try our luck? We can exchange a few kilograms of food at least."

Situ Yi suggested.

"Okay, let's ask who still wants to go. Let's go there as a team."

Yuan Chongming did not refuse.

"You guys go ahead! I won't go, it's too hot! Remember not to go too deep."

Ripple rubbed the whirlwind which was so hot that it felt a little wiry, and gave instructions to several people.

"Okay, we got it!"

Because of the extremely hot weather, it was almost 55 degrees at noon. I was sweating every time I moved. If I stayed there for a long time, I would suffer from heatstroke. The water level was still falling. Ripple felt that in less than a month, the accumulated water would not be able to trap the survivors at all. .

Ripple's guess this time was still accurate. After 28 days, the accumulated water had almost evaporated. The shallowest water only reached the calf, and the deepest water only reached the waist of an adult. A large number of survivors began to leave the trapped place. , go out in search of food.

At the same time, among the weekly relief rations, a simple packaged meat patty appeared. Although it was only the size of a palm and only tasted salty, it was meat. This made the survivors with green eyes finally see it. To the hope of living.

"Brother, what kind of meat is this made of? It's quite chewy!"

After a man received the meat pie, he opened it and took a bite.

"Mutated rat meat!" (End of chapter)
