The ghosts and gods are not to be feared, but the human heart is to be feared!
Chen Tao clenched his fists nervously. It would be better if the people in front of him had left. If he really encountered them, he would know from the bullets in the bag that they had guns in their hands. I still don't know how many guns they had. How many times has Old Sden advanced the modern submachine gun! When encountering them, there was no comparison with those Sten guns that jammed and exploded at every turn.
There is an even more terrifying problem right in front of Chen Tao and the others. Those people with such advanced equipment died here, but what about themselves?
Chen Tao's heart sank deeply as he looked at the broken limbs on the shore that had been torn and eaten away by the soul-destroying rats...
Chapter 41: There is no way to avoid disaster
In the darkness, three rafts floated slowly. On the bones in the distance, a layer of green will-o'-the-wisps was like cotton wool, which made people feel trance-like. Looking at the black shadows swaying on the shore, Chen Tao knew that there were more and more soul-destroying rats on it.
Except for the green fluorescent lights on the shore, everything was dark. Creatures that live underground all year round will have degraded vision. Yang Lixuan said that these mice are very sensitive to smell and light. Chen Tao and the others turned off their flashlights and headlamps, and also applied special potions given by Yang Lixuan on their bodies. This is Chen Tao and the others' biggest support now.
There was a vague sound of water hitting the front, and he felt that the raft was a little faster than before. Although Chen Tao didn't know what was ahead, he was sure that the river channel in front must have changed.
Not daring to turn on the light, not daring to speak, and even keeping his breathing as low as possible, Chen Tao tried his best to soothe the impatience caused by nervousness deep in his heart while trying to concentrate on himself.
Some people say that when God closes the door for you, he will also open a window for you. If these mice really had vision degradation as he suspected, then they must have other means, maybe hearing, maybe smell, or similar to snakes or bats.
Quiet......
So quiet...
The quiet Chen Tao could even hear his own heartbeat and the breathing of Hao Zi next to him.
That weird feeling quietly spread to Chen Tao's back. He didn't know what was wrong with him. Ever since he came down, especially after being controlled by the Soul-Destroying Rat, he always had some inexplicable and strange feelings in his mind. Chen Tao even thought that his eyes had special functions. , you can always inadvertently see something that seems real or illusory.
Boom...
Just as Chen Tao's mind was spinning, his body suddenly felt a violent vibration. The raft beneath him hit a raised rock for some unknown reason, and the sound of the impact echoed in the silent darkness for a long time.
After the impact, the raft stagnated for a while, and then Chen Tao felt something was wrong. The raft turned in circles driven by the water flow!
Feeling the reverberation after the collision, Chen Tao couldn't help but scream inwardly, and everyone's hearts suddenly rose to their throats.
The soul-destroying rats on the shore were instantly attracted by the sudden impact. They stopped one by one, propped up their upper bodies and raised their ears to listen quietly to the movements around them. The noses on their pointed beaks kept sniffing.
Soon, there was a commotion among the rats, as if they had discovered an intruder in the darkness. One by one, the soul-destroying rats began to move up and down, the fangs in their mouths grinding loudly.
squeak squeak squeak squeak...
There were dense sounds of rats all around, and the raft beneath them was still slowly rotating. Chen Tao and the others made a 180-degree turn. His hand was holding the Sten submachine gun tightly, and there was a layer of cold sweat on his palm.
wrong......
Just when Chen Tao and the others turned to Boss Zhang and others behind them, an unprecedented fear enveloped their bodies. Boss Zhang and the four of them have been silent for a long time. Even if they were silent along the way, they should still take a breath!
"No! They've been hit. Rescue them!" Chen Tao shouted in the darkness,
"We are surrounded by soul-destroying rats! Turn on the lights! Defend!" When it comes to being controlled by soul-destroying rats, no one present knows it better than Chen Tao.
Huh... The flashlight and headlamp were turned on again. Looking around, my scalp suddenly felt numb.
Rats, soul-catching rats were everywhere. On the shore, in the water, and on the stone walls on both sides, they were dark and dense, swarming towards them one by one.
In front of me, Boss Zhang and others were lying motionless on the boat, their bodies already covered with soul-destroying rats. There were also many soul-destroying rats scurrying into the water from the shore, swimming towards Chen Tao and his raft.
"Quick! Save people!" Uncle Long shouted, raising his submachine gun first and shooting at the incoming Soul-Destroying Rats.
Da da da......
Da da da......
The silent river exploded in an instant, the bullets drew dark red lines of fire, the muzzle spurted flames, and the gunshots sounded like thunder in the darkness.
Yang Lixuan waved his hand and threw a glass medicine bottle onto the raft where Boss Zhang and others were. Look at the red potion, it is the bottle of mixed potion with anise and black dog blood. The medicine bottle smashed on the raft, the medicine splashed everywhere, and the soul-destroying rats immediately fled away as if they had seen cats.
Boss Zhang's raft was not far away from Chen Tao and the others. Yang Lixuan took a few steps back and jumped over with a flying stick. A stick flower danced out of his long stick, and he instantly shot away several big cat-like soul-destroying rats.
Taking advantage of the space where the soul-possessing rats were scattered, he turned his left hand, touched Yan's nose and mouth lying on the ground, and slapped Yan's back with his backhand. With a violent cough and wheezing, Yan opened his eyes and climbed up from the raft.
"What...what's going on?"
Yan's body was shaking a little, but he couldn't allow him to think any more. Looking at the incoming Soul-Destroying Rats and the people fighting fiercely in front, he instantly understood what was going on. He cursed, "Holy shit," picked up the submachine gun at his waist and pulled the trigger on the Soul-Destroying Rats swimming in the distance. .
After waking up Yan, Yang Lixuan quickly woke up Boss Zhang and others using the same method.
"I...I support...I support their mothers!" Although Boss Zhang did not recover as quickly as Yan, he understood the situation at this time and hurriedly raised his gun and joined the battle. .
"Yang Lixuan! Come here and help, that rookie Taozi can't handle it!" Haozi shouted to Yang Lixuan behind him while swinging the flying spike.
"Haozi, you uncle!" Although Chen Tao was extremely dissatisfied with Haozi calling him a rookie, he had to admit that the submachine gun was much more difficult to use than he thought.
There were too many soul-destroying rats around. Even if he didn't take aim, he could kill more than a dozen of them with one shot. The bad thing was that Chen Tao only had two magazines in his hand, and the reloading speed was incredibly slow. describe.
Facing the siege of the soul-destroying rats, Chen Tao's hands were trembling and unruly, and it took him a long time to press in a few bullets. There were only two of them now. Once Chen Tao's firepower stopped, all the pressure fell on Haozi. Facing the soul-destroying rats that keep coming like wolves and tigers, even if he has three heads and six arms, he can't get rid of them!
Yang Lixuan swung his long stick horizontally, dismantling it into two short spears, slashing away several incoming soul-destroying rats, and jumped towards Chen Tao's raft. With the addition of Yang Lixuan, Haozi's pressure was greatly reduced.
"Little boss, come on! Throw your empty magazine over here!"
The mountain ghost on the raft next to him pulled out a magazine full of bullets and threw it over. Chen Tao quickly took it and replaced it, and threw the empty magazine at the mountain ghost.
Shangui held the submachine gun in one hand, raised his hand and took the magazine in his hand. The three of them, Uncle Long, were back to back, working in perfect harmony, and kept shooting at the charging rats.
"This is not the way to go. Go ashore and retreat deeper into the river!"
Uncle Long shouted at everyone, and Uncle Wang protected the mountain ghost. The mountain ghost behind him was squatting half-crouched with a gun in one hand and a folding shovel in the other hand and paddling rapidly.
Chen Tao's raft had already strayed and hit a protruding rock, and was now stuck on the river bank and spinning. Uncle Long's raft collided with Chen Tao and others. The raft stopped rotating due to the force and drifted closer to the river bank.
"Taozi, you go first, Yang Lixuan and I will cover you."
Looking at the river bank two meters away from the raft, Chen Tao had no time to think about whether he knew how to swim. He gritted his teeth and jumped into the dark river water.
thump......
I don't know whether he was lucky or just lucky, but the river stopped when it reached Chen Tao's chest. The river was very icy, and the surrounding situation did not allow him to stay any longer, so he swam to the shore by pedaling and rowing with all his hands and feet.
After killing several soul-destroying rats that rushed towards the shore, Chen Tao climbed onto the shore like a drowned rat. When Haozi and the others saw him coming ashore, they all jumped off the raft and retreated toward the shore.
At this time, the three rafts had collided together and were slowly parking diagonally toward the shore. Uncle Long and others quickly jumped onto the raft of Chen Tao and others, and then quickly landed.
Soldier was the last one to jump into the water. He and Acheng were very tall. The raft was much closer to the river bank than before, and the river water only covered half of their waists. However, the most unexpected thing happened.
Just after the soldier entered the water, he fell backwards as if he had stepped on something. Everyone was shocked. Before he could help, he heard a scream from a soldier,
"There's something in the water!"
