Chapter 122: Underground Waterway

Su Mi did not go out through the main entrance, but returned to the edge of the villa area, climbed onto the dead tree, and jumped from the tree to the base wall.

The base wall is about seven or eight meters high from the ground. Su Mi will definitely not be happy if she just jumps down. So at dawn, Su Mi once again performed a "space displacement technique" by the wall outside the villa area of ​​the base.

When you come out of the space, you use the time displacement difference to quickly return to the space after falling downwards to achieve the effect of safe falling.

This method has been tried and tested, allowing her to safely descend to the ground from high altitudes without using any tools.

However, when Su Mi landed on the ground, her feet were empty and one foot stepped into a pothole that did not sink.

"Mouse hole?"

Su Mi had expected that there was a mouse hole outside the base. It is estimated that this base is the only one in the entire S city that still has human life. This group of mutant rats will naturally move closer to the base after they have no food after winter.

Su Mi's target this time is mutant rats, preferably young rats.

Rats reproduce rapidly, and there must be rat babies in the rat nests in the underground rat tunnels.

However, Su Mi, who has an excellent ear, also knew clearly that in the ground beneath her feet, although the mutant rats had dug passages extending in all directions, there was no sound of the mutant rats moving inside.

Without the leader rat, this group of mutant rats probably dispersed back to their original rat nests.

Su Mi decided to take a walk into the city. If there was any movement underground, it would not be too late for her to think of a solution.

There were many burnt mutant rats on the ground outside the base. Su Mi had a hard time not stepping on them. She avoided the mutant rat corpses but couldn't avoid stepping into pits from time to time.

How deep and developed the potholes below must be to make the ground on the surface so fragile.

Su Mi walked for more than two hours before walking from the suburbs to a residential area. It was already daybreak by this time.

Although City S also experienced a month of heavy rains and flooding, the water soon seeped into the ground, leaving only moisture.

The weather is cooling down, so the houses that have been soaked for so long are not moldy, but are starting to show signs of freezing. Su Mi passed by a small corner outside a shop, took out the giant crocodile's tailbone and poked it, and the wall actually broke down like ice shards.

At a temperature of about 1 degree Celsius, frost has actually begun to appear on the damp wall, making the wall brittle.

It's calm on the surface, but there are secrets hidden underground. Su Mi clearly heard the sound of mutated rats running underground and some childish "squeaking" sounds hidden deep inside.

Although mutant rats are ugly, many people, especially women, are very repelled by such creatures. But in Su Mi's eyes, anything that can make the white mist dissipate must be brought into space.

As for, if you really can't accept the mutant rat coexisting with you in space, the worst case scenario is to bring it into the space, wait until part of the white mist dissipates, and then take the mutant rat out of the space.

Creatures that have entered the space can still integrate into the original ethnic group. There is essentially no difference. In fact, this idea suddenly made Su Mi have a plan in her mind.

The underground of City S is probably already dominated by mutant rats. With this knowledge, if her plan can succeed, then City S will become the safest place for her in the short term.

Su Mi began to look for underground drainage channels that people could enter. Rats often made nests in sewers before the apocalypse, let alone after the apocalypse.

There are many sewer channels around the community, but there are only two that can be walked through.

Su Mi found a circular entrance with a relatively spacious internal passage. The steel ring on the inner wall of the passage should have been specially installed during urban reconstruction to facilitate maintenance personnel to prevent slipping when entering.

Su Mi easily reached the underground drainage channel. I didn’t expect the underground drainage channels to be so wide. The entire waterway is like an underground tunnel, with a height of about two or three meters.

After Su Mi landed, her feet were wet, and there were also loose and sticky soil and unknown substances. Because the light below was too dark, Su Mi didn't know what they were.

This underground waterway is very empty, and there are only some maintenance tools left by former maintenance personnel on both sides.

Su Mi followed the position where the mutated rat made the sound and approached cautiously.

This waterway was straight at first, but after walking for a few minutes, a three-way intersection appeared ahead. The mutated rat's voice was scattered in all directions, and Su Mi casually chose a path and walked in without thinking.

The underground waterway did not have a particularly unpleasant smell, which was also strange to Su Mi.

Logically speaking, a rat's nest should be extremely smelly. They usually make their nests in deep cracks in walls and in places where clutter is misplaced.

After being in the same den for a long time, eating, drinking, and littering, and holding a litter of babies from time to time, you can imagine how stinky it is.

But the strange thing is that after Su Mi walked for more than ten minutes, she only smelled a very faint smell of irritation and rusty metal, not even a rotten smell.

Su Mi remembered the incident of these mutant rats dragging people, and many people were dragged into the nest by them.

Su Mi still walked forward cautiously, and the sound of rats crawling quickly became closer and closer. Finally, I saw two mutant rats drinking water at a vent.

There is a pit here that I don't know how to form, and there is a pool of water in the pit. Su Mi clearly saw that the water emerged from the ground.

Su Mi slowly approached, but the two mutant rats just raised their bodies and glanced at Su Mi when she walked to them, and then continued to drink water as if nothing had happened.

Su Mi didn't dare to make too much noise for fear of startling them.

The two mutant rats were seen leaving the branching path to the side after drinking the water.

Su Mi wanted to follow them, but she saw two more mutant rats coming out of the lower road, and they also went to the puddle to drink water.

Su Mi stood quietly by the puddle without moving. One of the slightly larger mutant rats walked over the instep of Su Mi. They did not notice that the person standing here was a human who was about to do evil to them.

Su Mi knew clearly that mice had eyesight, but why were the two mice in front of her so unprepared for her appearance? It's like I didn't see her.

Not even running away?

Su Mi stared at the puddle. There was nothing special about the water.

But regardless of all that, Su Mi thought of a very good idea.

A basin appeared in her hand, filled with stream water.

Su Mi placed the basin on the puddle where water was bubbling out, and blocked the puddle. But water emerged from the ground and flowed from the bottom of the basin to the surrounding areas.

The surrounding ground is flat, with only some rotten wood and miscellaneous rocks. The water channel is wide and large, and water cannot form a water level even if it leaks to the edge. If these mutant rats want to drink water, they can only go to Su Mi's water basin to drink water.

After Su Mi put down the water basin, she began to observe the status of these mutant rats.

After the two new mutant rats were at a loss at first and circled around the water basin a few times, they decisively drank the water from the water basin.

Moreover, what surprised Su Mi was that this time, the two mutant rats drank for a long time, and they did not leave even when the two new mutant rats arrived later.

Four mutant rats were drinking water from the water basin that Su Mi had placed. Two of them actually soaked their entire bodies in it and pushed the other three mutant rats who were drinking water.

It looks like it is fighting for water with its three companions.
