042. Rat tide

Bang——

The thing hit the glass and made a cracking sound. Lu Tiao tightened the crowbar at hand and knocked on it subconsciously.

Click——

The glass was shattered in an instant, and fragments stained with some kind of thick and smelly liquid flew. Shitou hurriedly held his head and crouched to defend himself. Lu Tiao narrowed his eyes slightly and saw a group of things falling from mid-air and falling to the ground.

"..."

Shitou looked at all this blankly, and suddenly felt that Lu Jian's destructive power was much greater than that unknown thing.

"What is it?"

Lu Tiao took out his flashlight and illuminated the ground.

Outside, the driver and "Hound" also came after hearing the news. You could see that "Hound" was holding a slightly rough pistol in his hand, which seemed to be homemade. He looked at the crowbar in Lu Tiao's hand warily, and then took it.

His eyes turned to the ground.

It was a ball of meat with fur. Judging from the size, it was probably similar to a small dog or rabbit. The dirty ground was made even more disgusting by the flesh and blood, and the fishy smell was enough to make those clean-loving children vomit on the spot.

.

"What animal is this?"

Lu Tan asked again.

"This is...a mouse."

"Hound" said hesitantly. He looked again at the direction where the creature hit, at the ruins illuminated by the bus's lights.

"We'd better get back in the car and turn off the lights. I have a feeling something bad is going to happen."

"No, it's already happened."

Mary, who didn't know when she came to the window, took a deep look into the darkness, and then leaned down.

Lean down?

When Lu Tiao noticed this, the sound of impact sounded again.

Bang——

A ball of black flesh and blood jumped out from the deep and dark shadows and hit the glass in front of the stone.

This time, Lu Tan did not lift the crowbar in his hand, and the people in the car were able to see the true appearance of the flesh and blood.

It's indeed a mouse.

However, when this giant rat the size of a dachshund hit the glass at a speed faster than a bullet, the powerful impact directly destroyed its bones and muscles.

This creature was spread out on the transparent glass like a piece of pie, showing its weird body structure, internal organs, bones, muscles, and blood vessels. At this moment, it was crumpled into a ball and then roughly torn apart, just like this.

appear under the light.

It killed itself.

The stone, this young man who had never seen the world, stared blankly at the gradually slipping flesh and blood. It seemed that all his attention was taken away by this thing and he was unable to think at all. The bloodshot eyes in his eyes became brighter.

It seems to cover the entire pupil.

Lu Tiao seemed to have noticed something. He hit Shitou's head with a crowbar, causing the stiff young man to squat down in response, and he also leaned over at the same time.

The next moment, there was another loud noise.

Bang——

Another rat hit the bus, and the sound was as if it was cutting through steel, which was frightening.

The young man hugged his head, huddled up in a ball, and muttered a prayer that he didn't know where he came from.

"Walk!"

"Hound" barked, pushed the driver, and raised the gun in his hand. The next moment, the sound of gunfire was accompanied by the sound of something breaking.

Lu Tiao saw a mouse jump up and hit the "hound"'s right shoulder at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.

His burly body was deeply dented, and the rat's body tissue collapsed because it could not withstand such an impact. With serious fractures or dislocations, "Hound" showed a painful expression on his face, and he was holding the gun in his hand.

Cover the wound and move towards the front of the car.

It is unimaginable that these huge rats completely gave up their lives. No one knows what they are going to do.

Bang bang bang——

The sound of hitting the bus was continuous, causing the whole car to shake.

"Damn, damn!"

"Hound" had no time to deal with its own wounds and could only urge the driver to start the engine quickly.

The roaring sound of the engine sounded and fell silent in the noisy night, and the silence sounded again, torturing everyone's nerves.

Snap——

A mouse crashed into the car through the broken window of the Lu trip. It hit the railing. The whole mouse deformed and twisted, but it was not completely shattered. Instead, it twitched and twisted and wriggled on the ground.

"Ahhhhh!"

The sound of the stone trembled like waves. He tried his best to curl up and stay away from the half-dead mouse, but the other party only dragged a blood trail on the floor with a strange gesture and moved closer to the stone.

Just when the mouse was about to climb up the stone's ankle, and the flesh and blood covered with dirty hair was about to burrow into his rough skin, something nailed the mouse.

Lu Tiao's crowbar hit the mouse and dragged it backwards.

At the same time, the intermittent sound of the engine, like that of an old man who had suffered from tuberculosis for many years, finally became coherent.

"Let me go!"

"Hound" barked, and immediately, Lu Jian felt the push force from the seat behind him, leading them forward.

The impact of the rat caused the vehicle to shake a bit, but the crystallization of human science and technology continued to move forward. Soon, the heart-wrenching continuous impact sound disappeared, and only the last rat that crashed in through the broken window was left.

Trip's crowbar nailed it to the ground with precision.

"It's a rat tide."

When everyone took a breath, the taciturn middle-aged woman Mary opened her mouth and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"The rats in the ruins sometimes migrate en masse due to certain things, forming a huge tide of rats. We just unfortunately ran into it."

"Are you saying that these mice jumping and moving at such a fast speed are just ordinary migrations?"

Lu Tan confirmed and saw Mary nodding slightly.

"I'm actually a scholar who studies wild life. This time I'm returning to the abandoned capital to write a paper after my inspection period."

Mary opened her shawl slightly, revealing the dressy clothes underneath and the gun holster under her ribs.

No one doubted this, they just looked behind the car.

With such speed and quantity, no matter what kind of creature encounters the rat tide, they will probably have to take a detour.

This black torrent does not depend on anyone's will. It just shuttles between the ruins and sweeps away everything it encounters.

Humans, on the other hand, can only avoid, fear, and cannot resist.

The bus gradually returned to a smooth driving stage, and the experience just now seemed like a dream.

Only the thick, solidified blood on one side of the car window and the huge rat nailed with a crowbar on the ground were proof of the previous encounter.

"mouse......"

Lu Tan looked at the mouse, and suddenly inspired, he asked.

"Can this mouse be eaten?"

"?"

Everyone in the car had questions.

"Theoretically, these mice are just ordinary creatures."

After a long time, Mary answered Lu Tan's question.

"That's pretty good."

Lu Tan took out the pan from the backpack at his feet.

"It was too dangerous just now. It's better to eat something first to calm down the shock."
