Apocalyptic Capsule System

? "Why……"

Looking at the disbelieving Lin Cheng, the old man couldn't help but sighed, "Forgot what I just said? Discipline! This group of mice has extremely strict discipline, and this time of day is the time when they gather , Whenever this time, no matter what these mice are doing or encountering, they must immediately put down what they are doing and rush to the central square in the city to meet up! So let alone you at this time, even if a huge piece of cheese is placed In front of them, they won't take a look, understand?!"

"Is this... true or false?"

After listening to the old man's explanation, Lin Cheng was startled. The biggest difference between people and things lies in the restraint of sex. Even if a person faces the temptation to fight again, as long as his life may be threatened, then he is doing They will definitely think twice before deciding on this matter, but animals don't think so much. Even if they have suffered countless losses, as long as the other party changes their routines a little, these animals will easily take the bait again.

But the behavior of these giant rats has completely broken this rule. He has heard many stories about rats stealing food since he was a child. Animals like mice are extremely greedy and obscene, but the group of mice he met today suddenly made him realize that when animals have IQs comparable to humans, their actions are not different except for differences in size. How much stupider than humans!

"Understand?"

Looking at the thoughtful look on Lin Cheng's face, the old man smiled wryly and said, "The reason why I drag you in is because the batch of rats that just passed by is the last batch, if I don't drag you in again, When they disband and come back, it's time for you to die! During the evolution of these mice, both their sense of smell and hearing have improved dramatically, so even if I got injured when I dragged you in, I still have to Close the secret door without making any noise, otherwise once they notice our existence, let alone this secret door made of stone, even a secret door made of steel will be destroyed by the army of giant rats. Then the two of us will be killed in the wilderness after being gnawed off all the flesh and blood!"

"...Is it so scary?"

Hearing what the old man said about the serious consequences, Lin Cheng couldn't believe it. He had seen too many powerful monsters and mutated beasts, and he had fought countless ones. He had never seen anyone who could make him cramp. .

"have!"

Seeing Lin Cheng's expression of indifference, the old man suddenly became serious, "I don't know how powerful you are, but since you can travel such a long distance to this city, then you must not be a simple character. But, Have you ever thought about a question? Under the unfettered self-evolution of these mice, which have not encountered any natural enemies since the end of the world, how many powerful characters have awakened in them? For example, just now, I was catching you in Before, you were probably looking for the holes that the giant rats came out of? Let me tell you,

The hole exists, and it's in the hallway outside, but you'll never find it! Because the entrance of this hole has long been sealed by the mouse with illusion ability in the group of mice, unless it removes it on its own initiative, let alone you and me, even those of its kind will not be able to find out where the door is opened! "

Speaking of this, the old man may have said too much in one breath and was thirsty, "Gudu" Gudu" poured another large glass of water and then said: "And this is just one of the giant rats that has awakened its ability! I don't know exactly how many rats there are in this city, but I estimate there are at least hundreds of thousands of them! With such a large-scale 'rat army', how many legs do you think you have enough to escape once you attract the attention of these guys, and how capable are you to fight your way out of these rat army? "

"……All right."

As the old man's tone became more and more serious, Lin Cheng finally realized the seriousness of the problem. Now he finally understood what this old man who seemed to be quite capable was afraid of. He could ignore a pair of mutated mice. In my eyes, even ten or twenty can kill all of them, but what if there are two hundred or two thousand?

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change. This sentence may not apply to all situations, but it definitely applies to the current situation. Under the attack of the endless mutant rat army, let alone this old man, even Lin Cheng himself has no confidence Can escape from birth!

"It seems that I was indeed saved by you."

Thinking of what he did when he first arrived in this city, Lin Cheng couldn't help feeling the cold sweat on his back. He didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be if he made a big fuss. After all, what the old man said just now, Only the magic array arranged by the giant rats with illusion ability can make him find the rat hole even though he tried his best, so if they really caught the rats' attention early on, then God knows he will be there again now. Where is it, or maybe it's still there...

Shaking his head lightly, the old man said indifferently: "It's not about whether you can be saved or not. The reason why I took the risk to bring you here is to save your life, but more importantly, , once you start a battle with those rats who found you in the corridor outside, then my secret room is very likely to be exposed in your battle, and by then it will be too late for me to regret..."

"Ah……"

Hearing what the old man said was bright, Lin Cheng's affection for this guy doubled, because even if he really had a conflict with those mice, he would not be able to stay in this narrow place and keep himself at a disadvantage in a real fight, so no matter who he is, No matter how much you fight with the swarm of rats, it is unlikely to affect the opponent, but since the old man can survive for so long alone in this dead city full of mutated rats, he should be so cautious.

"Since you dare to speak now, does that mean that the group of rats have finished their meeting and have gone back to their respective houses to find their own mothers?"

Since the old man didn't want to talk more about whether he could be saved, Lin Cheng didn't force it, and directly changed the topic.

"……uncertain."

Frowning and thinking for a moment, the old man shook his head and said: "Such a large group of rats want to survive and even evolve, they need a lot of food! There are actually cruel survival rules among these rats. , after each gathering, most of these mice need to look for prey, and once two groups or even three or four groups of mice all stare at the same prey, it will definitely lead to a tragic fight! And now it is them When searching for prey, as long as we don't make too much noise, we won't easily attract their attention."
