Rebirth: I Became a Maggot 2

The red mouse devoured the cheese we'd worked so hard to find in just a few bites, then walked inside and said to us, "Remember to come find me next time you have any trouble..."

After saying that, it crawled into the hole, leaving only the white mouse and us in the alley.

Besides the eerie silence around me, the white mouse was also silent, and the strange atmosphere gave me a bad feeling.

"What's wrong, Little White?" I asked, looking quite annoyed, as I stood on the white mouse's head.

"Something terrible might be about to happen," the white mouse said, sounding very frightened.

"What happened? What serious incident has occurred? Is it dangerous there?" I asked anxiously.

"Yes, it's very dangerous," the white mouse said heavily.

Good heavens, what's so dangerous about a medicinal plant garden? It's just some plants, right? I'm not going to a zoo, what's there to be afraid of?

I didn't take it to heart at all; it felt much simpler than I had expected.

So I asked, "What's so dangerous there? You seem so anxious. Are there any wild beasts around?"

Faced with my question, the white mouse was still very nervous and said, "Although I have never been there, none of the people who have been there before have ever come back. Not only have they never come back, but I have also heard from humans that there is a laboratory there that specializes in studying animals and plants. Basically, if you go there, you will die."

Holy crap, how come they're making it sound like their medicinal botanical garden is some kind of biological weapons research base? Is it really that exaggerated?

"Alright, I'll help you, why are you so worried? As long as we're careful, we'll be fine." I quickly reassured the little white mouse. We haven't even gone out yet, what's with chickening out just because of a name?

"That's right, that's right, 12 cents is the best, it can solve anything, don't worry." Dafu said very easily, treating me like a god.

I glanced at Dafu with a lot of frustration. I really don't understand where Dafu gets such confidence in me. How can he trust me so much? I've been running for my life so hard lately. Do you think it's easy for me?

But the little mouse immediately took Dafu's words seriously and hurriedly said to me, "You'll help me, right? You'll definitely help me, right?"

Damn, even if you hadn't told me, I would definitely have helped. After all, I'm poisoned right now. If I don't help you rescue Mengmeng, I'll die myself.

So even if I don't want to help now, I have to.

I could only say, rather frustrated, "Okay, I'll help you."

Hearing this, the little white mouse was very happy and quickly said, "That's great! If you're willing to help me, you can definitely rescue Mengmeng and the others."

"Alright, tell me about the medicinal plant garden first. You look like it's in a dangerous situation," I asked the white mouse.

Upon hearing my question, the white mouse remained silent for a while, as if it were recalling something or organizing its thoughts. After a long pause, it continued, "It's very dangerous there. How should I put it? Nobody knows exactly how dangerous it is, but anyone who goes there never comes back."

The little mouse recounted its experience with great fear, and after thinking for a while, it continued, "Not only were they captured, but even the animals that went to rescue their friends never came back."

Faced with the description from the lab rat, I suddenly felt uneasy. Everyone is afraid of danger, but as long as we know what the danger is and have the right methods, we can get through it safely.

What I fear most is the unknown danger, the kind of danger without the slightest clue or clue; that is the real danger.

Is it really that dangerous? Suddenly, I felt uneasy. Animals have strong instincts; if all the animals say a place is dangerous, then that place is truly dangerous.

I feel extremely frustrated about this situation. Now I know the location, but I know nothing else about it, which is the most difficult thing.

"One cent and two cents, what do we do now?" Dafu, who was standing to the side, probably also sensed the danger, that kind of instinctive perception.

I'm in a real bind right now. What can I do? I can only go and see what's going on, and then I'll just have to play it by ear.

After all, no one knew what dangers awaited me inside. However, I still held onto a sliver of hope. How dangerous could a botanical garden be? Could there be any ferocious beasts lurking there?

Thinking of this, I said to Xiaobai and Dafu, "Now that we know the location, let's hurry up and go. It wouldn't be good if something happened if we were late."

"Shouldn't we make some preparations? Or find some help?" the little white mouse said somewhat fearfully.

"Can you find any help?" I quickly looked at the white mouse. It would be great if there were any help.

But the white mouse shook its head and said, "No."

Are you kidding me? What's the point of asking for help if you can't find any? Do you expect me to find help? Where am I supposed to find help?

I was so frustrated that I didn't want to say anything. I immediately flew outside, thinking it was more important to find Mengmeng and the others. I didn't want to waste any more time.

When I came out, it was already getting dark. It was about six o'clock in the evening. I had eaten some while looking for cheese earlier, so I wasn't hungry. My idea was to go straight to the medicinal plant garden.

Isn't it better to act at night? If there are so many people during the day, how can you save a rat if you only see one?

But it's different at night. Even if a mouse walks past you late at night, most people will only be startled and then walk away.

So what I mean is that now is the perfect time, so let's just take action now. Dafu will definitely listen to me. I'm basically helping the guinea pig now, and the guinea pig doesn't have much to say.

So it's decided that we'll go rescue Mengmeng and the others tonight. Even if we can't rescue them, it's good to find out what's going on first. At least if we go to rescue them, we won't be in such a passive position.

Thinking of this, I said to the white mouse, "Do you know where that medicinal plant garden is?"

"I don't know," the white mouse said quite frankly.

Damn, you didn't know? I thought you did. If you didn't know, how did you know that medicinal plant garden was dangerous?

Faced with the lab rat's honest answer, I was too exhausted to even complain, but I still had to ask, so I said, quite annoyed, "How do you know it's dangerous for you if you don't know where it is?"
