This kind of protective clothing is the same as what soldiers wear. It is specially made by the official research institute and can protect oneself from being bitten by giant rats to the greatest extent.

Of course, if a giant rat pounces on it and bites it hard, it still won't be able to withstand it, but its toughness is much better than ordinary clothing.

However, you cannot buy such good things, you can only rent them, and you must mortgage your ID card to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Now as long as you follow the official guide, your ID card is your passport. Without an ID card, it can be said that you cannot move forward.

Not to mention entering the evacuation base in the future, even relief food is inseparable from ID cards, so no one is willing to throw away ID cards for a little meat.

Some survivors feel that the rent is too expensive and they also need to mortgage their ID cards, so they are hesitant.

But as soon as the official news was released, smart people rushed to the supply and marketing cooperative to rent back special protective clothing.

Although the rent is a bit expensive, as long as you can bring back a giant rat corpse, it's not a loss.

By the time those survivors who were hesitant to think about it realized that the protective suits had already been rented out.

And when the survivors go out to hunt rats, they don't just run around.

Nowadays, who doesn’t know that giant rats have poisonous teeth, so after they went out, they followed the soldiers obediently, not closely, but there were soldiers in front who used flamethrowers to clean them, so the danger was greatly reduced.

The soldiers were not dissatisfied with this, and sometimes they would even return to rescue the survivors behind them when they were in danger.

Too many people have died in the last days, and no one wants to see someone lose their life now.

In a blink of an eye, time came to the fourth day when the red-eyed giant rat appeared.

Shi Jiaojiao didn't sleep well at night, her face looked very bad, and her heart was full of dryness.

She woke up at around three in the morning and couldn't sleep again.

There was nothing we could do, there were too many giant rats outside. Although they were probably hiding inside the farmhouse, and their voices sounded far away, they were extremely noisy because of their large numbers.

Even with earplugs on, I didn't feel sleepy at all.

Shi Jiaojiao simply got up and inspected the wooden arrows that would be used later, trying to sharpen each arrow.

When the safe period was about to begin, the sounds outside gradually became restless.

As soon as the temperature rises, the rats follow the smell and rush in the direction of the cave in droves.

Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci moved the iron door open and looked out through the small hole in the door.

This sight directly made her scalp tingle.

I feel extremely lucky, fortunately I made preparations in advance yesterday.

There were seventy or eighty red-eyed giant rats outside, howling around the cave not far away.

This is the only human place on the entire mountain, and it is impossible for the giant rat to leave.

Shi Jiaojiao didn't move rashly, she didn't even make a sound, she just looked outside quietly.

Soon, attracted by the scent of human flesh, some giant rats couldn't bear it anymore and rushed directly towards the cave. When the front moved, the giant rats behind also rushed forward anxiously.

When the giant rat landed on the broken glass and let out a shrill scream, Shi Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief.

This kind of obvious trap can only deal with this kind of mutated rats, and it may not be successful if it is replaced by a pack of wild dogs.

Dogs are pretty smart after all.

There were screams outside, one after another, almost piercing human eardrums, but the giant rat only knew the pain, but did not know how to retreat.

Their walnut-sized minds could only think of eating, especially since the cave was constantly smelling of human flesh, and they were like carrots hanging in front of donkeys.

So the giant rats moved forward bravely, one crop after another.

Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci could still remain calm, but Wang Jia and Tang Wei could not.

Who can watch half a meter long mice rushing towards the door of their house one after another without being moved?

The most recent time was when a giant rat that was lucky happened to step on its companion in front. In the end, its claws almost touched the cave door, only to be stepped on by the giant rat behind.

At that moment, Wang Jia's breathing almost stopped, and her heart beat like a drum.

However, as time passed by, none of the giant rats could pounce in front of her, and she felt a little relieved.

The threat was over. She looked at the giant rat rolling on the glass shards, as if she saw countless pieces of dried meat, and the saliva in her mouth continued to secrete.

Although she and Tang Wei had eaten a lot of meat in the past few days, they were still hungry, mainly because their bodies were too lacking in nutrients.

Wang Jia thought for a moment, then picked up the walkie-talkie and suggested: "Jiaojiao, I see there are still a lot of giant rats coming behind, why don't we get some meat to seduce them with the scent?"

But Shi Jiaojiao refused directly: "This kind of giant rat only acts on instinct. What if the temptation is too much and it rushes over despite the pain?"

Glass shards can only cause pain to the giant rats, but they cannot kill them.

What needs to be done now is to eliminate as many injured giant rats as possible.

Shi Jiaojiao said: "Let's use the crossbow first. We can kill one by one, and there are quite a few injured giant rats now."

Wang Jia nodded repeatedly and immediately said: "Okay, I will listen to you."

If Shi Jiaojiao hadn't taken her to make a trap yesterday, even if the cave could withstand the rats today, it wouldn't be able to withstand it tomorrow.

And now, where is the time for her to rearrange the trap?

The rats rushed over in waves, and in the end, both she and Tang Wei might not be able to escape death.

Wang Jia and Tang Wei only had a mechanical crossbow sent by Shi Jiaojiao yesterday, so they took turns.

The two were still a little unskilled with mechanical crossbows, and their accuracy was average, but practice made perfect. In addition, the giant rat was injured. Although it would roll over in pain, it would not move around, making it a perfect target for them.

The wooden arrows were shot out one by one, and many giant rats were killed after the feeling came up.

Of course, killing with one arrow is impossible.

The giant rats that died at the hands of the two men were basically covered with wooden arrows and died of excessive blood loss in the end.

On the other side, Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci were at a much higher level.

In order to facilitate two people shooting at the same time, two holes were specially opened in the door yesterday.

Mu Ci was holding a steel crossbow, while Shi Jiaojiao was holding a pistol crossbow that was drawn in a lottery.

Every arrow fired by the two men almost hit the giant rat's vitals.

Shi Jiaojiao pursed her lips. Accuracy alone was not enough, speed was also needed.

It takes time to bring the giant rat carcass back to the cave and restore the trap.

The two of them sped up, taking care of the injured giant rat first, and then aimed their eyes at the giant rat that was still intact and lingering on the edge of the glass shards.

The giant rats indeed only acted on instinct, but with so many giant rat corpses placed here, the smell of blood was so strong that it was almost suffocating.

And the strong smell of blood just covered up the smell of the four people in the cave.

So the remaining giant rats no longer pounced forward, but focused on the corpse lying on the glass shards not far away.

For them, as long as they can fill their stomachs, it doesn’t matter whether they are the same kind or not?
