Chapter 2073: Big Rat
There are so many snakes in the woods, birds should be on their diet.
From this point of view, the number of snakes is not actually very large.
They took out some meat for barbecue next to the fire, had a simple breakfast and moved forward.
Lin Ran found out that they took another way into the mountain, and felt a little strange.
But this time they came in via the original route.
After breakfast, they packed up their equipment and prepared to set off.
But when they came near the pond, they felt something was wrong.
Because he heard a lot of chewing sounds.
Snakes don't need to chew when eating. A huge honey badger immediately appeared in his mind. Are there other monsters?
Lin Ran used hand gestures to remind others not to move where they were, especially not to make any noise.
He nodded his toes and walked forward quietly.
Wherever he looked, he saw an extremely horrifying scene.
The snake's body was still near the pond, but it had attracted some uninvited guests.
Just some very large rats.
Each mouse is about the size of a house cat, with shiny black fur and red eyes that make people shudder.
Fortunately, they were concentrating on eating and didn't notice Lin Ran.
At this time, Lin Ran quietly retreated.
He told others what he saw.
"We'll leave when they're done."
Although rats are said to be afraid of humans, that's because of the huge size difference.
People always talk about the courage of rats. In fact, rats have greater courage than many animals. Just because of their small size, they have become the bottom of the food chain in nature.
Wang Jinpeng suddenly thought of the strange noise he heard last night and told others.
"Why do huge creatures appear in this forest?" Wang Jinpeng asked.
This is what others are thinking too.
"Rustling?" Lin Ran asked.
"Well, what happened?"
"Is this the sound we hear now?" Lin Ran asked with his finger on his lips.
rustle.
As he reminded, the voice became distinct.
Lin Ran's expression was solemn, and he looked around.
In fact, if it is a mouse, it will not run away. What it is afraid of is the big snake.
However, when he turned around, he saw several big rats standing in the grass of the forest.
Their red eyes were constantly scanning Lin Ran and others.
Then, they rushed up immediately.
"Protect yourself!" Lin Ran shouted and took out a shovel.
Everyone felt a little nervous when they saw the big mouse. Unexpectedly, the mouse took the initiative to attack them, and they all became nervous instantly.
Everyone has weapons in their hands and is ready for battle.
Lin Ran felt extremely headache.
In fact, in a sense, rats are much more dangerous than snakes.
Snakes have venom, but there are countless kinds of germs on mice. Once the wound is exposed, it may become infected.
Being bitten by them is no joke!
The few big rats that pounced on them first took them as prey, opened their mouths and pounced on them.
Lin Ran grabbed the shovel and knocked it on the big mouse's head. The strong momentum knocked him to the ground instantly.
All the tissue in the brain was leaking out.
These big rats have become slower because of their increased size.
They may not have the huge bodies they have now, after all, their bodies have become heavier!
Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning also killed their opponents respectively.
However, more and more rats are coming out of the woods.
"Damn, I should have brought some rat poison." Huang Hao scolded, "A Ming, do you have anything to deal with rats?"
"Explosives?"
"Can you make it?"
A Ming immediately shook his head.
Lin Ran noticed something at this time. These mice obviously had not adapted to their new body shape, and they probably mutated not long ago.
They are slow to move, let alone climb trees.
Regardless, it would definitely be irrational to fight them head-on.
Lin Ran shouted to everyone: "Get up the tree!"
"Everyone, climb up the tree." Lin Ran shouted again.
"Brother, are you kidding?" Wang Jinpeng said after killing another mouse.
As someone who comes from the countryside, he knows very well that mice are not weak at climbing trees.
Lin Ran had no time to explain now, so he directly found a tree, jumped onto the tree in one stride, grabbed the trunk and climbed up.
Under it there were two mice chattering, as if they wanted to jump up and bite him.
"Fuck?" Wang Jinpeng saw this scene and understood instantly.
He covered other people to climb the tree, while he finally found a tree to climb up.
He stared at the big mouse under the tree, which was constantly jumping in place, trying to get Wang Jinpeng's feet.
There was also a mouse that grabbed the tree with its claws, but after climbing up twice, its whole body slipped down.
Just as Lin Ran guessed, these big rats can't climb trees!
Finally got a breather.
"What's going on?" Liu Jingfeng asked with lingering fear.
They had taken another route before and encountered a huge leech there.
But as long as they don't go into the river, they'll be fine.
Unexpectedly, it was more dangerous here. Not only snakes, but also mammals such as rats appeared.
Lin Ran shook his head helplessly and explained.
"The adaptability of mammals will be weaker than that of other animals. As they grow larger, they will naturally lose some of their former abilities."
He saw the lumbering steps of the rat.
You know that the agility of the big rats has been reduced, replaced by their violent characteristics. They are probably very hungry now.
Others didn't quite understand Lin Ran's explanation.
But they saw that these mice couldn't climb trees.
They sat in the tree, safe for the time being.
However, the mice were surrounded under the tree and did not intend to leave. Instead, they kept squeaking close to the tree.
"What should we do now?" Wang Jinpeng shouted.
"Blow them up." Huang Hao said to A Ming.
A Ming immediately shook his head: "My backpack is still down there."
After all, he had tried his best to climb down the tree just now, and he didn't have time to put on his backpack.
Now it's troublesome, they are trapped here again.
It seems like these beasts won't leave until they are eaten.
Fortunately, none of them have been injured so far.
"I'll think of a way." Lin Ran comforted the others.
It's not a problem to drag it out like this. Sooner or later they will be trapped to death.
Moreover, the number of rats is increasing.
Climbing up a tree is even more dangerous.
What happened in this forest?
Lin Ran felt something was wrong.
But he had no time to think about this, because under the tree where Liu Jingfeng was, several large rats were rushing against the tree.
Under the strong desire for food, they actually developed a fighting instinct.
The other mice obviously have some learning ability and are following suit.
If you drag it on, you will be dead.
