Chapter 2074: Forced into a desperate situation
"What should we do now? Brother Lin?" Liu Jingfeng asked.
Lin Ran was also speechless. Generally, mice are not so big.
He was forced into a tree by the mutated big rat, and now he felt hopeless and helpless.
Lin Ran looked around and found no chance of escape.
Instead, more and more mutated mice gathered because of the mice's cries.
They kept scratching the trunk under the tree and made ferocious squeaking sounds, all of which were extremely frightening.
Wang Jinpeng looked around anxiously, hoping to find a way to save himself.
A Ming felt desperate from the bottom of his heart when he saw the rats getting bigger and bigger.
But at a desperate moment, he remembered the explosives in his backpack.
If he could get the backpack, he might be able to deal with the rats below.
But the backpack was behind the rats, and everything happened so fast that he couldn't react.
A Ming turned his head and said to everyone: "If you can get my backpack, the explosives inside should be able to deal with the rats down there."
He knew he couldn't do it, but he thought Lin Ran would be able to think of a way.
"Backpack?"
Hearing these words, a glimmer of hope flashed in everyone's eyes.
Lin Ran also felt that explosives were a good method. Even if they couldn't kill all the rats, the huge explosion could still scare them.
However, the backpack is now in an extremely dangerous position, and they have no tools at their disposal.
Before Lin Ran could think of a solution, Wang Jinpeng had already made up his mind to take the risk.
Because he knew that he was the only one who could try to get rid of the rats in front of him.
"Xu Ning, help me attract their attention." Wang Jinpeng stood on the treetop and took a deep breath.
Xu Ning was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly.
Although some rats were attracted to him, they were better than nothing compared to the group of rats below.
Suddenly, Wang Jinpeng jumped resolutely.
His body suddenly fell and fell directly on a mouse.
Although a mouse was crushed to death, the surrounding rats roared instantly and surrounded him as if to welcome his arrival.
Wang Jinpeng was frightened, and he didn't feel it from above. At this time, he only felt that every inch of muscle in his body was dominated by fear.
Fortunately, he had a strong will and forced his body to react, otherwise he would have become a rat's meal in the next second.
He kicked the rat that rushed towards him, and at the same time moved his body to avoid the attack of the mutated rat on the side.
He tried to rush in the direction of the backpack, but the number of rats was so huge that there was no chance of crossing.
At the same time, more and more rats gathered around him.
Wang Jinpeng instantly felt that his heartbeat was clearly visible.
"Go back to the tree!"
Lin Ran shouted immediately when he saw that Wang Jinpeng had no intention of backing down.
Wang Jinpeng really dared to fight hard, but Lin Ran saw that persisting would be a dead end.
Only by turning back can there be a chance of survival.
At the critical moment, Wang Jinpeng made a decision.
He immediately stepped forward on a mouse, used it as a pedal, hung his body on the trunk of a tree not far away, and climbed up quickly.
Temporarily escaped the pursuit of the rats.
Covered in sweat and breathing heavily, he quickly climbed to a thicker branch.
Just a few seconds of exercise made his adrenaline surge.
Lin Ran was glad that Wang Jinpeng was still alive, but he also felt a little desperate.
The rats are not afraid of humans at all, and Wang Jinpeng's adventure did not achieve the expected goal.
Not only did he not get Amin's backpack, he also hid in a smaller tree.
The branches were bent slightly under his weight, meaning the tree might not hold out much longer.
The plan to take the backpack by force failed, and Amin and others were disappointed.
Lin Ran was thinking about a solution when he unexpectedly discovered that the sky, which had been clear just a moment ago, suddenly became gloomy.
Soon there were even more dark clouds, and the surrounding sky darkened.
Coupled with the rats on and below the tree, Lin Ran felt extremely depressed.
It was like a scene from a disaster movie.
Summer thundershowers!
They are in danger hiding in the trees!
Just as he guessed, a light suddenly flashed in front of them.
Then the roar of thunder rang in his ears.
Lightning and thunder are very close, indicating that the center of the lightning is near them!
At this moment, I finally realized firsthand what it means to have a leaky house and it rains all night long!
The heavy rain also poured down after the thunder sounded, and there was thunder and lightning in an instant.
Lin Ran felt more and more desperate, and now he could only leave his fate to God.
But after the heavy rain fell, the mice below seemed to have been dripped with sulfuric acid, and howled in pain.
The rats retreated and did not continue to intercept Lin Ran and the others.
These mutant rats are actually afraid of rain?
Lin Ran noticed that in the heavy rain, their movements became extremely slow.
When they were out of sight, Lin Ran quickly called to the others: "Run!"
No need to explain too much, everyone saw this scene and took action immediately.
Everyone fell slowly along the tree trunk.
"Where are we going now?" Liu Jingfeng shouted in the heavy rain.
A thunderstorm came, although it caused the mutant mice to retreat.
But it is also a huge threat to humans. They are still far away from the cliff and it is too late to set up tents now.
Liu Jingfeng was extremely anxious. They needed a safe lightning protection place.
Lin Ran said: "Go south!"
That was not the road they took to the treasure house before, but he had been observing the surrounding environment while he was in the tree.
He saw a cave-like structure on the mountain wall not far away.
Because it was far away, he didn't know exactly how big the cave was.
Now there is no other option but to make it their safe haven for the time being.
Lin Ran took the initiative to walk in front, believing that he was right.
The other people followed Lin Ran and moved towards the mountain.
At this time, lightning struck one after another in the sky, and the rain became heavier and heavier.
The ground under their feet also became sticky, and their shoes were already wet.
But they could only move cautiously through the woods.
Fortunately, they actually saw the cave. Their bodies were already soaked and their hearts were half cold.
After seeing the cave, they finally felt a little at ease.
Lin Ran took the lead and entered the cave first.
Others followed.
The cave is quite large, enough to accommodate six people.
But it was dark inside, and only the looming lightning flashed through the cave, allowing them to see a corner of the interior.
Seeing lightning, everyone felt an inexplicable fear in their hearts.
This cave seemed to have been a temporary shelter. There were actually dry leaves and some straw inside, which were used to cushion the cave.
Lin Ran pulled off his soaked clothes and wiped the water from his head.
Avoid getting yourself wet with flammable materials.
On the damp ground they built a fire.
