Chapter 28 Giant Rat

"It seems that the next step is to find a temporary place to stay and figure out a way to make the raft bigger. It's still too small and can't carry too much supplies."

Harry pondered slightly. In fact, he had already thought of a temporary place to stay, which was another building about two to three hundred meters away from here that was exposed on the water surface.

From here, it looked like a three-story building that covered a large area, but in fact, it was a 32-story tall building, and the water had submerged three floors of the building.

As the water level continued to rise, it slowly submerged to the thirtieth floor and became uninhabitable, so neither the building Harry had stayed in before nor the current building was suitable for temporary residence.

Harry's real goal was the 32-story building. Even if the thirtieth floor was uninhabitable, there were still two floors above that could be temporarily occupied. Even if the water level slowly rose, according to the current rate of rise, it would still take some time to completely submerge the thirtieth floor, so it would be the most suitable temporary residence.

Harry decided to take Olivia there.

"If we're lucky, there might be survivors there, which would be even better."

Harry had Olivia sit on the storage box.

"Sit tight, we're leaving." Harry picked up the oar and casually threw the hammer he had been using to Olivia.

He now had a stronger iron rod for killing, and the hammer was no longer useful. It was more appropriate for Olivia to use it.

Harry pushed the raft against the wall with the oar, and the raft slowly swayed open. He looked towards the three-story building about two to three hundred meters away, although it looked easy, he felt a little heavy-hearted.

In Harry's eyes, the distance of nearly three hundred meters was treacherous, and no one could predict what would happen on the way.

"Remember what I'm telling you now." Harry controlled the raft and paddled towards the three-story building in the distance while telling Olivia, "You have to be strong to survive, and you have to make yourself strong. This world is completely different. When you see monsters, don't be afraid, be brave and deal with them."

"The corpses you saw in the corridor just now are called corpse beasts. They look scary, but they're not powerful in reality. They move very slowly and their brains are not very bright. If you encounter them, just smash their heads with a hammer to kill them, and you'll become stronger after killing them."

Olivia sat obediently on the storage box, quietly listening to Harry's teachings. She didn't know if she heard it, but she reached out her small hand towards Harry.

Harry was a bit surprised and looked at her hand, only to find a raisin in her palm.

It turned out that she was signaling Harry whether he wanted to eat the raisin or not.

Harry suddenly envied her. He thought that children were indeed ignorant and fearless. They didn't know how dangerous the water was, and even if they were a little careless, it could be fatal. She still had the mood to eat snacks. He could only shake his head and say, "I'm not hungry, you can eat it."

After hearing Harry say that he didn't want it, Olivia withdrew her hand and slowly put the raisin in her mouth.

She ate slowly, and Harry estimated that she could eat the raisin for a long time. He pushed the oar into the water and paddled towards the rear, causing a small wave in the water. At this moment, Harry's eyes suddenly noticed a long and narrow black shadow passing by the wooden pulp in the water.

"Hmm?" His heart tightened, and Harry became alert. His muscles suddenly tightened, and he immediately took back the wooden pulp and took the iron rod that had been placed beside him in his right hand.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Olivia saw Harry's reaction and also seemed to feel something. She opened her mouth slightly as if to ask Harry something.

Harry waved his left hand to signal her not to speak, and his eyes were closely scanning the surroundings of the raft.

Almost in an instant, just as Harry turned around, a wet black shadow suddenly splashed up behind him. A giant gray rat stuck to the edge of the raft and rushed out of the water. It was as fast as lightning and reached forward, biting Harry's calf.

Feeling the pain in his calf, Harry didn't have time to react and felt a force pulling him. The raft shook violently, and he couldn't stand steady, so he slid into the water along the raft.

These few days, after experiencing life and death battles one after another, Harry had gradually learned to remain calm in the face of danger. Although he was suddenly taken aback and dragged into the water, he still opened his eyes calmly. His left hand quickly grabbed the edge of the raft to stabilize himself. At the same time, he saw what was biting his leg.

It was a giant gray rat with a short tail and a body length of more than one meter. Its limbs were relatively long, with huge feet, webbed toes, a big mouth, and four sharp teeth. Now, these four sharp teeth were tightly biting into the muscles of Harry's calf.

It paddled its limbs in the water, biting Harry's calf and constantly pulling him down. Obviously, it wanted to drag Harry into deep water.

Harry took a deep breath, activated "Strong Lungs Type 1" and "Muscle Growth Type 1", and was between these two states. He could burst out a force of seven hundred kilograms and hold his breath for an astonishing four minutes.

He loosened his left hand, let go of the edge of the raft, and plunged into the water actively. He used his waist and abdomen to exert force, his legs up, and his upper body down, curling up into a ball. His left hand was clenched into a fist and smashed down towards the head of the giant rat that had bitten his leg.
