Chapter 472 To kill or not to kill?

Early the next morning, Qi Zhen and his party began to search again. If there were no accidents, they could go out today. They had never seen the other people again, and they were probably still milling around in the passage.

After walking for only a few minutes, they bumped into a team of mutant rats. Then, like a gate opening, countless mutant rats rushed toward them.

The passage was crowded, and looking around, it was so dark that it made one's scalp numb just by looking at it.

Fortunately, they absorbed a lot of mutant rat energy along the way, and their bodies became very hard, so powerful that they could beat an elephant to death.

So this time they did not choose to crawl on their backs and bite. Instead, they used speed, bounce, and surprise attacks to use the three pairs of legs as iron-blooded swords to attack each other.

The knife rose and fell, and there was blood all over it. After a while, everyone was furious.

Soon the passage was filled with corpses of mutated rats, and people from both parties were forced to block both sides of the passage.

There are ten rats per person. After collecting one round and another, continue killing until there are no more mutant rats until all the mutant rats leading to the larvae room are cleared.

And their bodies also grew to two meters during this round of fighting. The increase in size did not affect their speed, and they could even walk upright like humans.

This made them very happy.

Before they had time to rest, there was a commotion in the larvae room, and a one-foot-long mutant rat suddenly sprang out. When they saw Qi Zhen and the others, they were so frightened that they couldn't choose their way, running around and squeaking non-stop.

Hearing the cry, the young mice in the larvae room fled out one after another. Within a moment, the passage was crowded, and there was no place to stay.

Everyone instinctively cleans up the baby rats in front of them, not realizing that the opponent's attack power is very weak. With just two or three swipes of their feet, they can knock off one, which is far worse than the adult rats.

And almost every one of them has mineral crystals in their body. Although the number is not much, only two or three, they have enough energy to support them, and they are well fed at a glance.

They couldn't let go at will now. Almost as soon as the mineral crystal was detected, the team automatically divided into two groups and quickly blocked the two passages leading to the young rat room with high-level protective shields.

The width is okay, but the height is a bit different, but the jumping ability of the baby mouse is average, and the protective cover is smooth and difficult to climb, so it doesn't have much impact.

Therefore, except for the few dozen that were initially out of tune, they were all trapped in this area. Soon, a vigorous rat eradication operation was launched.

After all the baby rats were cleaned up, everyone didn't even have the strength to shake their antennae. There is still energy underground, so just lie down straight on the ground and let your body absorb the underground energy on its own to restore physical fitness.

After their physical strength was almost half recovered, the group wolfed down some food and were ready to set off.

Next is the egg chamber. In the egg chamber are newborn rat babies, which are long in length and pink all over. They only have some small downy hair. Their eyes have not yet opened. They fill the entire hole and make people feel uncomfortable.

To kill or not to kill? There is no way that a newborn baby has mineral crystals in its body, so killing it would be useless. What is useful is the egg chamber itself.

Just looking at the mineral crystals embedded everywhere on the cave wall, one can tell that there is much more buried underground. If you want to get these, you must move these newborn cubs to a nest.

Together, several people decided to move these little rats to the rat room to see if they survived.

The little mouse was lying limply, not yet able to walk steadily. It felt danger and let out a weak cry, then squeezed together as hard as possible.

Qi Zhen couldn't handle such an almost hairless thing, and she was even more worried about having to move the box. She was afraid that they would all fall to death accidentally, so she had to go to the rat room to spread some hay or something as a mat.

Thinking about the past life, this rat was one of the four pests. It stole food, destroyed seedlings, spread diseases, and dug holes in channels to cause floods... Everyone would punish them when they saw them. They would confiscate homes and wipe out nine tribes without blinking an eye.

But what is she doing now? Tsk tsk, you are helping the tyrants to do harm.

Qi Zhen murmured while working hard without complaint. Originally she didn't want to take care of it, but she had an inexplicable intuition that it would be a big disaster if she didn't care. And so far they haven't encountered anything edible except honeydew, so what's the next unlock?
She thought of two possibilities. After a species leaves here, if it drinks the honeydew before finding anything edible, there is a 50% chance that it will turn into an aphid or a mutated plant.

Another possibility is to become a mutant rat. This is naturally the result of ruthless killing.

Both of these possibilities have precedents and are not groundless. It would be troublesome if these little baby mice were killed and they immediately turned into their appearance.

And it's a lot of trouble. Compared with alien plants, aphids basking in the sun or sucking sap, this thing is much more troublesome.

As she pondered deeply, she became even more worried. She took out the seeds she had collected before and scattered them on the grass mat. She also found a fortune teller and exchanged them for some mutated aphid corpses and eggs.

She didn't plan to study this stuff, so she didn't collect it. Instead, Bu Yidao got some of everything, focusing on being prepared.

After she finished setting up the larvae room, she caught up with Bu Yidao and the others carrying the box. She hurriedly ran a few steps and staggered out.

In order not to leave anyone speechless, she did not rush into the egg chamber until everyone had moved the baby rats and went in together to dig the ground and dig the walls.

Not long after, a series of sobs came from the room.

Bu Yidao looked at the mineral crystals covering the ground, and his eyes turned red with excitement, "F*ck! F*ck!... This is so fucking extravagant. You are worthy of being the mutant ant, the ore crystal carrier."

"I just want to know, why are they willing to give up such a good place?" Li Liyang was no better than Bu Yidao, and his feet were shaking constantly when mining crystals.

"Maybe I'm borrowing it." Qi Zhen listened casually, answered smoothly, and then started working hard again.

"Borrow... borrow a place?" Bu Yidao didn't believe it, "Is it possible?"

"I just made a random guess." Qi Zhen said nonchalantly, "I feel like each piece of the mission has little connection, like a puzzle that has been messed up."

She was not aiming for nothing. Before setting off, Chen Cheng gave her a map, plus three copies collected by Xiao Jing, making a total of four copies.

So far, only two maps show the exact location, and these two maps are still on two maps, which are completely different.

As more than half a month passed, she still knew nothing about the tree Chen Cheng mentioned, and she couldn't even determine the direction.

I don’t know if I can find it in three months.

"When you say that, it's true." Bu Yidao nodded seriously.

"Pfft..." Li Liyang joked, "This seems to be your second mission, how come you have such deep insights?"

"Haha, at least I am on the second block. Some people are still stuck on the first block after more than half a month."

"..."

"..."

Qi Feng expressed that he was offended.

Although they arrived late, it was actually their first mission, because they spent the first few days struggling in the mud.

Bu Yidao's knife penetrated the fragile glass hearts of the friends, so that no one started talking about the egg cleaning, and they just walked quietly to the last cave.

Royal family!
