Doomsday game, my supplies increased tenfold

After getting the bait, Xiao Qi started his journey back to the factory. However, when he was driving his car past the gate of a factory, he saw a man.

A person wearing long sleeves, long pants, a mask and glasses stood in the middle of the road, waving at Xiao Qi to stop the car. Xiao Qi's first thought was whether this person was an NPC or the family of the college student mentioned in the background.

Determined not to miss any clues, Xiao Qi stopped the car five meters in front of the man, trying to see if he could trigger the plot. However, he did not expect that the guy would trot over to him, take off his sunglasses and knock on Xiao Qi's car window.

Xiao Qi then realized that the person blocking the road was a girl who looked to be in her twenties, with a pretty face and a good figure, but she exuded a cold and aloof temperament that kept strangers away. She didn't seem to be an NPC in terms of her mental state or behavior, so Xiao Qi just rolled down the window to leave a narrow gap so that his voice could escape.

"Is there a problem?"

Hearing Xiao Qi's voice, the woman was obviously stunned for a moment, as if she had encountered something beyond her expectations.

The two of them just sat there awkwardly in front of the window glass without anyone saying anything. After a while, Xiao Qi lost her patience. She was pressed for time and had a heavy workload. She didn't have time to figure out what was going on with this guy.

Xiao Qi was about to close the car window when the woman seemed a little anxious and spoke.

"Hello, are you the NPC of this instance?"

The two of them were really silent now. Did this person think of himself as an NPC? Xiao Qi frowned. Now he was sure that this woman was also a player. She should have also obtained the copy card of the chemical plant and entered at a similar time as himself. This is why the two of them bumped into each other and thought of each other as NPCs.

After Xiao Qi realized that the woman was a player, he no longer wanted to communicate with her. What was there to communicate with a player? Should he share intelligence with her or protect her safety? He didn't have the interest to do that. He just went to play by himself!

Xiao Qi immediately closed the window tightly, not caring what the woman said. He stepped on the accelerator and left in a high-profile manner, leaving the woman with a confused look on her face, still wondering if she had triggered the task in the wrong way.

To put it bluntly, there are only a few people who can get the dungeon card. Xiao Qi quickly searched for the woman's identity in his mind. She was the person who bought the defensive equipment at the trading house last time. 011... He suspected that she might also enter this dungeon, so he was not too surprised. He just hoped that she would not compete with him for the materials in the dungeon.

After returning to the chemical plant at the center of the mission, Xiao Qi randomly found a shaded place to place the bait. She didn't know where the mutant rats' nest was, so she could only hope to lure them out in this way.

The smell of the bait was very pungent. As soon as it was released, the mixed smell of rotten meat and industrial materials almost suffocated Xiao Qi. She quickly dodged it, made sure she was in a safe enough place, and began to observe the situation.

Maybe it was because it was daytime, but after waiting for a long time, no mutant rat showed up, which made Xiao Qi feel sleepy.

She had never seen the relics and so-called family members mentioned in the main mission, and she didn't know where to start. Bored, Xiao Qi chose to take out the map to observe and see where else there were good things. After dealing with the mutant rats, if she still had no clue, she could go over and take a look.

There is a part of the map that I have explored, and the supplies there have disappeared. Except for the road I have explored all the way, some supplies in the factory area are also displayed in gray, indicating that someone has taken away the collectible parts.

It’s easy to guess that it’s probably the woman I just met.

Although this process was somewhat unexpected, it was unavoidable after all, and I would not kill that person. The supplies shown on the map were not few, and I could not eat them all by myself, so there was no need to be too angry.

It was effortless to get it. After Xiao Qi waited quietly for more than an hour, the rustling sound appeared again. This time Xiao Qi could immediately conclude that the sound was made by the mutant rat.

Looking over, I saw several first-level mutant rats coming out from the darkness, surrounding the bait and constantly looking at and sniffing it. It was obvious that they were very interested in the bait, but perhaps because of their status and identity, they did not dare to open their mouths to taste it.

Soon, several second-level mutant rats appeared within the bait range. The first-level mutant rats wisely made way for the second-level mutant rats so that they could enjoy the delicacy first.

Xiao Qi had to admit that he was a little worried. If all the baits were used by the second-level mutant rats, wouldn't it be impossible to poison the third-level mutant rats? This bait used up so many of his supplies, even some extremely precious potions. If he couldn't kill the third-level mutant rats, it would be a big loss.

Fortunately, the rules of the rat group are indeed strict. Soon, the second-level mutant rat just judged the safety of the bait and stood aside, followed by the third-level mutant rat.

When Xiao Qi clearly observed the third-order mutant rat for the first time, he was so shocked that he was almost speechless.

This mutant rat is very different from the normal rat in human cognition. Its head is bigger, which may be the reason for its higher intelligence. The fur on its body looks extremely hard, and is densely packed on its back like steel needles, which may be difficult to penetrate even by lasers. Its eyes are even more scarlet than those of other mutant rats, and its thick tail is like a steel whip. It is obviously not a creature that ordinary people can deal with.

Xiao Qi frowned and looked at the third-level mutant rat nervously, fearing that the rat would be unwilling to eat the bait he had carefully prepared.

But Xiao Qi obviously underestimated the fear brought by hunger. After seeing the "food" on the ground, the third-level mutant rats obviously had something extra in their eyes, and they stared at the bait with burning eyes. Xiao Qi's expected theory that the mutant rats had to carefully examine whether the bait was edible was directly overturned. The third-level mutant rats hardly observed the bait and began to eat it with big mouthfuls.

There are many second-level mutant rats around who are ready to make a move and want to grab the food. Who knows how tempting this bait is to them?

The third-level mutant rats were obviously aware of this, and in order to avoid rebellion due to the temptation of food, the third-level rats almost wolfed down the only food they had in so many days. A few brave second-level mutant rats would even sneak up to take a bite and then quickly run away to enjoy it.

The third-level mutant rats who were busy eating had no time to care about such trivial matters, and were also afraid that nothing would happen to them, so they simply turned a blind eye.

After only one fifth of the bait was eaten, the third-level mutant rat finally stopped. However, this was not because he was full, but because he needed to give some benefits to the rats below him so that they could at least taste some sweetness and avoid doing anything.

After the third-order mutant rats came the second-order. The second-order mutant rats rushed over voraciously to share the leftovers, and then came the first-order mutant rats at the bottom.

In just twenty minutes, the bait had been eaten up by them, but it was obvious that many rats were still reluctant to leave.

Just when they had finished eating the bait and were about to return to the base, a first-level mutant rat suddenly began to twitch and struggle on the ground. This strange behavior quickly attracted the attention of all the mutant rats, especially the third-level mutant rat who was the boss. It quickly associated the problem with the bait they had just eaten.

Unfortunately, before they could react, more and more mutant rats began to fall to the ground one after another, foaming at the mouth. They rolled on the ground, spitting out meat scraps mixed with blood foam.

Almost all the rats that had eaten the bait began to feel unwell. Even the second-level mutant rats felt a burning pain in their abdomen. After struggling for a while, the first-level mutant rats began to have charred black spots on their bodies. The spots grew larger and larger and connected into pieces, and finally began to emit strange black smoke.

The black smoke dissipated, revealing the charred holes in front of the mutant rats. They were actually burning from within their bodies!
