Chapter 36 The Rat Tide is Coming
Chapter 36 The Rat Tide is Coming
The mutant snake scales had strong defensive power, and even the high-powered rifles in the hands of the Tiger Army might not be able to penetrate them. Moreover, facing such a large python, even if they were penetrated, it would not be fatal. Once entangled, the Tiger Army, with only slightly better physical fitness than ordinary soldiers, would be very dangerous.
"Thank you, Brother Cong." Although the current combat uniform's defense may not be as good as his own defense, it is better to have it than not.
"Haha, what's there to thank me for? If you hadn't been with me this time, I would have probably lost my life today." Cong Hujun is still scared.
It would take almost a whole team of theirs to take down such a large mutant monster.
It is normal to lose one or two teammates if you are unlucky.
But in Yang Yu's hands, it was just a matter of one knife.
"No wonder he dared to volunteer to fight against the monster at such a young age." Hu Jun sighed in his heart. He now fully realized the strength of a warrior.
Before, he had heard about how powerful warriors were, or he had seen human warriors killing monsters in live broadcasts.
But none of these are as shocking as actually experiencing it in person.
Begin patrolling again.
This time, Yang Yu walked in front to explore the way, and the Tiger Army did not let him follow behind.
Are you kidding? He is the one being protected now.
In just a few months, the once bustling downtown area has become much more desolate.
Yang Yu walked on the sidewalk with a sword in his hand, releasing his mental power to carefully perceive the situation around him.
However, at this stage, the range that telekinesis can cover is limited, probably only a few dozen meters in radius. It can only be said to be better than nothing and can only prevent sudden attacks.
The two of them continued to walk inside for a long time but did not see any mutant creatures or monsters. It seemed that this area should be the territory of the mutant Qingmang.
However, when other mutant creatures discover that the territory here is vacant, it is only a matter of time before they occupy this place.
So this is the purpose of the patrol team's existence, to ensure that the rear area is safe enough.
So the two of them changed areas and continued patrolling.
A few minutes later, the two arrived at an even more desolate place.
This area was originally the largest urban village in the east of Jiangnan City. The original living environment was poor, and now it has become even more desolate after the people here moved to the centralized resettlement site in the city center.
There are weeds everywhere, and rats that used to only live in sewers can now be seen everywhere.
However, these rats are only a little bigger now, almost the same size as rabbits, and are still some distance away from being mutant creatures. When they saw Yang Yu and the others appear, they all ran into the sewers, not daring to act rashly.
Seeing this, Yang Yu had no interest in catching these sewer rats and killing them.
If you have to kill someone, you have to kill the rat that has mutated into a monster.
"Xiao Yang, this area is usually home to the most rats. Last time, one of our teams came here and was nearly surrounded by a rat the size of a hound. Fortunately, they brought a lot of incendiary bombs and a powerful heavy machine gun, so they managed to escape. The mutant rat king was also seriously injured."
Cong Hujun whispered that although it was unlikely that another Rat King would be born in a short period of time, animals mutated very quickly, and rats mutated even faster, so he couldn't be sure.
However, he dared to come here only with Yang Yu this time, otherwise they usually patrol here as a team.
After all, mutated rats are very dangerous, especially when their numbers reach a certain level.
"It's okay, big brother. I will kill as many rats as come." Yang Yu said confidently.
"That's right, Xiao Yang, you are naturally not afraid of these stinky rats."
The two of them walked deeper into the urban village while talking.
In an unknown corner, a light yellow mouse was quietly staring at Yang Yu and the others. When it saw them going deeper, this small but clever-looking mouse immediately turned around and jumped into the sewer.
"Squeak~"
The yellowish little mouse that came to the depths of the sewer began to squeak at a mouse that was as big as a calf. The rat king, which could be called a giant rat, blinked his tiny eyes and listened quietly to his subordinates' report.
It has already begun to develop intelligence, and its eyes flash with thoughtfulness.
As the most successful mutant rat in the entire urban village and the surrounding dozens of kilometers, the rat king that was killed by the patrol team before was actually its subordinate. As for it, it is the real king of this rat group!
After listening to the little mouse Zhizhi's report, the rat king's huge figure crawled out from the shadows.
In the dim sewer, one can vaguely see that the giant rat king is light golden in color, with several long whiskers growing on both sides of its head and a several-meter-long light golden tail dragging behind it.
"squeak!"
A short but penetrating cry instantly spread throughout the sewer, and soon, mutant rats of all sizes began to rush in from all directions.
This rat king, which has reached the level of an elementary beast general, has already developed a little bit of intelligence. The clever little mouse just now is also one of its smartest offspring.
After hearing its cry, the Rat King knew that there were only two humans breaking in this time. Last time, it almost got to eat the human flesh it had longed for, but its strength was not as strong as it is now. In addition, there were a lot of people last time, and his strongest subordinate was also eliminated.
Being timid and cautious by nature, it naturally did not show its head, but chose to remain dormant. Anyway, it only needed to spend a little time every day absorbing the energy of the universe to become stronger.
However, according to the report from my subordinates today, there were only two humans who came, and its strength has increased a lot recently. All the stronger mutant creatures nearby have been eaten by it. Now is a good time to change its taste.
At this time, Yang Yu and Cong Hujun also found something wrong. They used to see black rats everywhere, but now there was not a single one to be seen, and the surroundings were too quiet.
Yang Yu, who noticed something was wrong, immediately suggested retreating.
Although he was not afraid of the siege of ordinary rats, it would be dangerous for him, who was still an ordinary person, to be trapped in the rat tide of the Tiger Army.
Knowing that something was wrong, Zonghu Jun didn't say much and chose to follow Yang Yu.
But before the two of them had time to return to the entrance of the urban village, when they had walked half the distance, they suddenly discovered a large number of black rats pouring in from all directions!
"Rat Tide!"
The Tiger Army shouted in fear and immediately took out the incendiary bombs they were carrying and threw them at the rats.
"Run!"
Under the cover of incendiary bombs, the Tiger Army prepared to drag Yang Yu away.
But these rats are obviously not ordinary rats. The incendiary bombs that could cause damage to them before now have little effect.
When Zonghu Jun discovered this, he felt nervous.
You should know that this incendiary bomb is also a newly developed product, but it obviously cannot keep up with the mutation speed of animals.
"Brother Zong, follow me!" Yang Yu also noticed this situation, and immediately rushed in the direction they came from, carrying the Zonghu army who were shorter than him.
Before Zong Hujun could react, he felt his body floating and being carried away at a very fast speed.
At this time, the huge rat king also revealed his figure.
"Squeak!"
A rapid and hoarse rat cry was heard.
Suddenly, more rats rushed over!
At this time, Yang Yu's speed was not too fast, after all, he still had to take care of Cong Hujun, who was an ordinary person.
But even so, he could easily shake off the swarm of rats behind him.
But with two orders from the Rat King.
Suddenly, a larger mutant black rat appeared.
At the same time, the Rat King, who was the size of a calf and had a light golden body, suddenly chased from behind.
Its speed is approaching that of Yang Yu!
