the beginning of the end

The hands that the two held were separated immediately, and their bodies dodged to both sides at the same time, dodging.

Mu Qiangguo dodged left and right, and took a few steps back. Behind him was a pile of rubbish. He glanced at it, pulled out a sharp wooden stick from it, thrust his hand back, and one jumped to him. The belly of the mutated mouse that was planning to surprise him was pierced and exploded, and blood and pieces of flesh flew everywhere.

Shen Xi was nimble, and used his spiritual power to kick away the mouse that was approaching him fiercely. The strength of the enhanced spiritual power was really extraordinary. It was almost one foot at a time. Although it would not kill the mouse, it would still I kicked the mouse seriously and was so dizzy that I couldn't get up.

The two of them worked together, and within a short while they had almost dealt with the rats that were chasing them. The remaining two glared at Mu Qiangguo and Shen Xi fiercely, stood still, turned around suddenly, and quickly disappeared into the alley. .

"Are you okay?" Mu Qiangguo stepped forward and grabbed Shen Xi's hand.

"I'm fine." Shen Xi shook his head, looked at the rat blood splashed on his clothes, and frowned in disgust.

"This mouse has mutated, and it's still hurting people now." Mu Qiangguo worried. If the situation of other animals is similar to that of mice, humans will really be in big trouble.

"It seems to have become smarter, as if it has intelligence." Shen Xi said his observation just now.

If this is true, it will be more troublesome than mutation. Maybe humans will be chased and killed by mice in the future.

"If such a large number of rats attacked humans separately just now, wouldn't it be—" Mu Qiangguo couldn't even imagine that scene. "Those mice seem to be able to find their location by smelling people."

"Son." Mu Qiangguo said anxiously.

"Son." Shen Xi said anxiously.

The two yelled at the same time, and ran towards home like crazy.

Blessing his spiritual power desperately all over his body, he ran for a long distance at a high speed.

"This way." Mu Qiangguo called to stop Shen Xi who was running wildly.He looked at an alley not far ahead, he went home and went straight through it, turned right and walked one street away to the downstairs of the community, which was much faster than going back along the road.

Shen Xi's whole mind was full of his son's small figure, and he couldn't hear what Mu Qiangguo said at all.

Mu Qiangguo was quite calm. Seeing that Shen Xi was only rushing forward, he didn't hear what he said at all, and he didn't intend to stop. Mu Qiangguo knew that he must be worried about his son, so why was he not in a hurry? However, when passing by He didn't see any mutated mice, which meant that these mice hadn't attacked yet, and his worries eased a little.

"Stop, go this way, this road is closer." Mu Qiangguo roared again.

Shen Xi paused for a moment, turned around, and turned directly into the alley pointed by Mu Qiangguo, but his running speed became faster. According to the route he remembered, he quickly ran downstairs to the neighborhood where he lived.

Mu Qiangguo took a step back and stood behind him, and the two of them rushed upstairs again.

Mrs. Mu is feeding Mu Xibao water. She took the child with her all morning. The child is very obedient and does not cry or make trouble. If she needs to pee, she must go to the toilet to solve it. When she needs water, she will come to find him. She, let her always get close to children unconsciously, and she is more pleasant to children than Da Ya, so she can't help but think that it would be great if she was a grandson.

Old Mrs. Mu glanced at the stomach of her little daughter-in-law who was sitting on the side, and sighed.

The door slammed loudly, making Mrs. Mu tremble in fright.

"Who is this, knocking on the door so fast." Mrs. Zhang looked at the door in fear, and the two wives trembled and felt uncomfortable when they heard the knock on the door.

"Mom, mom, open the door quickly." Outside the door, Mu Qiangguo shouted anxiously.

"Brother is back." Mu Jianguo happily walked to the door and opened it.

As soon as the door opened, Shen Xi pushed Mu Jianguo who was in the way and rushed in. Seeing his son Mu Xibao sitting beside the old lady drinking water, Shen Xi finally relaxed.

"Daddy, Daddy hug." Seeing Shen Xi, Mu Xibao stood up and wanted to hug him immediately.

Shen Xi took off his dirty coat. He didn't care whether it was cold or not, and hugged his son's small body tightly as he ran over. He felt as if he had been enchanted by a demon just now, and he only thought about his son and going home quickly. , Going home quickly, a trace of fear lingered in his heart and slowly grew bigger and deeper, becoming a demon that hindered his cultivation, and he almost fell into it.Otherwise, he was worried about his son, and he would not lose his observation and reason around him.

"Brother, what's wrong with Brother Shen?" Mu Jianguo was taken aback by Shen Xi's recklessness, and asked strangely.

"It's okay." Mu Qiangguo also felt that there was something faintly wrong about Shen Xi.

"Isn't it because I am afraid that an old woman like me will abuse the children." Seeing Shen Xi's consistent actions, the old lady Mu sarcastically said, she served the children with delicious food and drink all morning, and Shen Xi was in a hurry when she came back. , not just thinking that she will abuse children.

"I didn't." Shen Xi escaped the inner demon, calmed down, and his tone became indifferent again.

"Mom, Brother Shen definitely didn't mean that. He was just worried that the child might be hungry." Zhang Feng beat around the bush and fanned the flames. Ever since her brother was kicked out of the room, now her brother is still ignoring her, so she just took her anger away. It's on Shen Xi.

"You think that everyone wants to eat like you." The old lady Mu obviously didn't fall for Zhang Feng's trick, so she snorted coldly.

Zhang Feng failed to provoke, and he was not angry with himself, he refused to accept: "Mom, I am eating two people's tonic."

"Mother-in-law, my daughter is pregnant." Mrs. Zhang agreed with Zhang Feng.

Old Mrs. Mu fell silent, because they were all out to get angry with her, so she didn't speak to find anger.

"Brother, didn't you go out to look for food?" Mu Jianguo was anxious when he saw that his elder brother came back empty-handed.

"That's right, Qiangguo, why did you come back so soon?" Mrs. Mu said.

"Mom, don't talk about this, just close all the open windows." Mu Qiangguo said, and closed the window in the living room with a gap for ventilation.

"Son, what happened." Mrs. Mu became frightened when she saw that her eldest son was in such a hurry and his face was not good-looking.

"Brother, did something happen outside?" Mu Jianguo hasn't seen his elder brother change his face for a long time. It was such a cold day a while ago and so many people died. They talked about things outside every day in the house. Not even a wrinkle, just like listening to a story.

"Brother." Zhang Feng was also afraid.

All eyes were on Mu Qiangguo.

"Rats, hundreds of mutated rats, three times bigger than normal rats, with red eyes, fangs, hairs like thorns, rats that can attack people, and may even eat people." Shen Xi calmly explained for Mu Qiangguo, and he didn't know if he was deliberately trying to scare this group of people who hadn't really experienced the cruelty of the last days.

After a while, there was a scream in the living room.

"Ah!" Zhang Feng yelled, and the two old ladies trembled even more. Zhang Feng's younger brother, Zhang Qiang, didn't believe in mutant mice at all.

The two children in the family didn't know what was going on at all, but seeing the adults so nervous, they were all quiet.

"Then——that's not—that's a monster." Mu Jianguo was better than the others, but he stuttered.

Everyone just thinks about the terrifying appearance of the mouse, and they don't want to believe it.

"Brother, what Brother Shen said is not true, is it?" Mu Jianguo asked everyone's aspirations.

"Yes, it's very dangerous." Mu Qiangguo affirmed.

The voice just fell.

"what--!"

"what is that?"

"Help me."

"Mouse, it's a mouse." A series of noisy voices sounded outside the window.

Now, all the people in the house who didn't believe it believed it, and they didn't dare to go to the window to confirm it.

Mu Qiangguo quickly opened the curtains to cover the window.

Shen Xi approached him with his son in his arms, and the two of them opened the curtain a crack and looked down secretly.A few mutated mice stopped below, looked left and right, and carefully smelled the smell in the air. Soon, the two mutated mice climbed to the opposite building and climbed up the opened iron gate.

In the blink of an eye, another scream came from the first floor opposite.

The two of them observed for a while, and Shen Xi found that the mutated mouse's sense of smell still had a distance limit when it came to finding people. Like the first floor opposite, they soon suffered disaster, and the floor where they stayed, they didn't climb up, but the mice couldn't get up. Everywhere, he believed, it would not be long before these people in their house would be discovered.

Right now, it is time to figure out how to deal with the plague.

"What to do, what to do." Zhang Feng grabbed old lady Zhang's clothes and cried out in fright. She had never been so scared.

"Create a crime, make a crime." Old lady Mu closed her eyes and folded her hands, praying to God in her heart.

"Brother, how did the mouse turn into what Brother Shen said." Mu Jianguo asked in a low voice, afraid of disturbing the mouse outside the house. He would really accept it now, but he wasn't so afraid anymore.

"I don't know." Mu Qiangguo also wanted to find out the reason.

"There's something that smells very strong. It's best to cover up the smell on your body." Shen Xi asked, he only hoped that this method would make the mutant mice unable to find them for the time being tonight.
