Rebirth: I Became a Maggot 2

Chapter 185: Confused

But just as I finished shaking off the drool and was about to try to take off, a net suddenly appeared in the air and caught Mengmeng instantly.

We were just thinking about how to find the train station, completely forgetting that there were people from the lab chasing us.

We didn't expect the people from the lab to arrive so quickly; they showed up right before our eyes.

Mengmeng was clearly stunned and looked behind her in surprise. She saw a big, fat man walk out, followed by several men in white coats who walked towards Dahuang and Xiaoli.

They grabbed everyone directly with the net in their hands. Before I could even react, Mengmeng, Dahuang, and Xiaoli were taken away by that group of people in white coats.

Then they just dumped him in a car and drove off...

Even after everything had happened, I was still in a daze. Was this group of doctors in white coats doing it on purpose? Why did they have to come out right after I was poisoned?

You kidnapped Mengmeng! What am I supposed to do? I'm still poisoned! Are you just going to leave me here to die? I'm about to cry! What kind of ridiculous situation is this?

"One...one and a half cents." Dafu cautiously crawled over from behind me: "What do we do now?"

"I...how am I supposed to know what to do?" I'm about to cry. Mengmeng has been kidnapped, what am I supposed to do? I can only wait to die!

"Twenty-two cents." Just when I was feeling very depressed, a very weak voice came over.

"What?" I shouted, really annoyed. Mengmeng got caught, what am I going to do about my poison?

"Twenty cents, we have to go save them!" That weak voice came again.

I looked toward the source of the sound with great annoyance, and saw the little white mouse struggling to lie on the ground, its round eyes staring at me, looking unusually cute.

Seriously? You want me to rescue your friend? Why are you trying to be cute with me? If being cute works, why don't you go and be cute with the people in that lab?

Looking at the white mouse that had been unusually weak and withered after several consecutive chrysanthemum blooms, I felt both angry and amused.

I wanted to help, but how could I? We were just one little mouse and two little flies; wouldn't that be suicide? They solved us with a single spray.

The moment Mengmeng was taken away, I felt despair. It was like they wanted me dead!

"How can we save them? How do you think we can save them? Just the two of us flies and a rat crossing the street?" I almost cried when I said this. What have I been through?

I always thought that the movie was about encountering such terrible things on the way home, and that the terrible things were just made up by the editor. How could someone be so unlucky?

Now I believe it: there's no limit to bad luck in this world. If I don't go to save Mengmeng and the others, I'll be poisoned to death. But even if I do go to save them, I'll be committing suicide.

Should we save them or not? I suddenly remembered a quote from a great man: "Life and death are an endless cycle; we are born, they die..."

Damn it, isn't that Nasus's line from League of Legends? Why does it feel so fitting for me now?

Previously, he faced a choice: to die now or not know how he would die later.

Now there's another choice: sit here and wait for the poison to take effect and die, or go to rescue Mengmeng and not know what might happen and you might die – a classic case of courting death.

So now I'm torn between waiting to die and courting death.

Just when I was really struggling with this decision, the lab rat next to me spoke up again: "I can ask my cousin for help."

"Your cousin? Is he famous?" I asked, feeling quite annoyed.

“We don’t even know where Mengmeng and the others have been taken,” I said, feeling quite frustrated.

"My cousin probably knows too. He's quite the remarkable mouse," the little white mouse shouted proudly on the ground.

"How is it so amazing?" I suddenly became interested. If it really was amazing, then it meant I didn't have to die.

Seeing that I was interested, the little white mouse seemed very proud, as if it had received some kind of honor, and said very smugly, "Do you know Ratatouille?"

I was completely dumbfounded when I heard that. Putting aside how a guinea pig like you even gets to watch TV, what's the connection between your cousin and Ratatouille? Isn't that an animated show? Why are you asking me this?

Although I was very curious, I still said, "I've seen it. Does your cousin know Ratatouille?"

Although I know this idea is complete nonsense, I still couldn't help but ask it out: Could there really be some connection?

"My cousin is the top-tier rat here, known as the King of Dark Cuisine. Pretty impressive, right? As long as my brother Biao is willing to help, with his connections and influence, getting Mengmeng to help is a piece of cake," the white rat exclaimed proudly.

Damn, if you're that awesome, what do you need me for? Go and save them yourself!

Of course, that's what I think. I can't say it like that, because if I did, Xiaobai would lose face.

But Xiaobai seemed to have figured out what I was thinking and said, "Actually, the reason I asked you to come along is so that we have a way to deal with things in case of danger. After all, you are a wild fly with a strong ability to adapt."

After hearing the white mouse's explanation, I was baffled. Flies are divided into wild and domestic? I can accept that cats and dogs are divided into wild and domestic, but what's the point of dividing flies too?

"Okay, then I'll go with you and see. Hopefully, Mengmeng will be back soon." Actually, I also wanted to go and save her. After all, I'm still poisoned. What if she's not saved after three days? It would be such a waste for me to die.

Since we've already discussed it, there's nothing more to say. We should hurry and find out where Mengmeng and the others are being held, and then see how many old mice Xiaobaishu's cousin can get to help.

Actually, you don't need many, just a few will do. After all, it's a secret rescue, and too many would only cause problems.

Since the decision had already been made, there was nothing more to say. So Dafu and I landed on the white mouse's back, and like riding a mount, we let the white mouse lead us towards his cousin's direction.

After landing on the white mouse, I looked at Dafu and asked, "How are you? You don't feel any discomfort, do you?"

My main concern is that the poison might have different effects on different constitutions. Ever since Dafu was attacked by Mengmeng's saliva, he has been very quiet and hasn't said anything. I've also been busy before, so I haven't had time to ask him.
