Chapter 18: Fighting Mutant Rats
Soon, the mutant rat swarm came to the front and began to attack the humans, the huge rat swarm was like a gray ocean, surrounding everyone in the middle, and these forty or fifty people were like a small boat in the ocean, in danger of being swallowed up at any time. Each mutant rat must be the size of a piglet, more than twenty centimeters tall, thirty or forty centimeters long, and even the tail is twenty or thirty centimeters long. Although the level of mutant rats is not very high, generally second or third level, but the ants bite the elephant to death, and the base of the rat colony is too large, everyone is still a little unable to parry for a while, and the attack gradually becomes messy.
Seeing that the battle situation was unfavorable to his side, He Lei shouted loudly: "Don't panic, everyone, listen to my command." ”
Soon everyone was divided into three squads under the command of He Lei, the first squad was on the periphery, the first team attacked and hunted mutant rats, and the second squad was on guard to protect the first squad from damage, and then quickly replenished when the abilities of the members of the first squad were exhausted, so as not to interrupt the attack, and the two squads took turns to ensure that there was enough time to recover the abilities. The remaining few people are ordinary people without special abilities, there are more than a dozen, among which Wang Yongwei's nephew Xiaohua is also among them, these people are protected in the middle of the crowd and do not participate in the battle. Xing Lu, Zhang Qiang, and Wang Yongwei were all assigned to the first squad, and Lin Jiaxin was assigned to the second squad.
Under the command of He Lei, the first team launched a fierce attack on the mutant rat group, and for a while, the energy pillars emitted by various ability attacks shone with colorful brilliance in the night, and they were very gorgeous.
Xing Lu condensed his water ability into a branch of water arrows, and kept hitting the head of the mutant rat, and his spirit did not dare to relax for a moment, the mutant rat group seemed to be fearless and only knew how to rush forward, and if she was not careful, she would be exploited, but fortunately, Lin Jiaxin next to her helped her block it a few times, and Xing Lu was not bitten by the mutant rat.
Half an hour later, most of the members of the first squad had exhausted their abilities, and when He Lei saw this, he decisively shouted "Replace!" The first squad quickly stepped back and gave up the attack position to the second squad. Xing Lu stepped back and quickly took out the spiritual spring water and drank a few sips, while recovering her spiritual power, she watched Lin Jiaxin's battle and helped her eliminate the mutant rat that slipped through the net, suddenly, a mutant rat appeared on Lin Jiaxin's left hand, and she was fighting with a mutant rat in front of her right, without noticing, seeing that the mutant rat was about to bite Lin Jiaxin's left calf, Xing Lu stepped forward and gave it two water arrows, and the mutant rat was knocked to the ground and died quickly. Lin Jiaxin also happened to solve the mutant rat that was fighting with her at this time, seeing Xing Lu's movements, her eyes flashed, and before she could say anything, the mutant rat behind followed and turned around to fight.
Half an hour later, Xing Lu and the first team stood in the attack position again, launched an attack on the mutant rat group, and twenty-five minutes later, they were replaced again, just like that, because the recovery time was not enough, the time for everyone's ability to use it became shorter and shorter, and they could only be replaced to recover, a vicious circle, everyone's situation is getting worse and worse, fortunately, the mutant rat group is also shrinking, otherwise everyone will really hate this. At more than three o'clock, the exhausted people finally eliminated the mutant rats, and as the last mutant rat was killed, the embarrassed people also fell to the ground tiredly. Next to them, there are so many corpses of mutant rats that they have to bury people, seeing that his team has hunted so many mutant rats, Xing Lu has to admire himself, and can't help but sigh that the potential of human beings is really endless, if it weren't for the line between life and death, I'm afraid this team wouldn't have done this, right?!
Don't care about collecting the loot, at this moment everyone just wants to wipe the wound medicine and sleep well, at this time, the dozen or so people who were protected last night took the initiative to take on this task, and asked the strangers to hurry up and rest, they came to dig the crystal nuclei of these mutant rats. It's all money, if you don't dig it out in time, if something happens, it's too late to regret it. He Lei didn't say anything polite to them, and asked them to sprinkle medicinal powder around to eliminate the smell of blood, and told them to go to bed if there was something.
When Xing Lu was packing up and preparing to sleep, Lin Jiaxin said to her, "Thank you ,,, just now." Xing Lu was stunned for a while before saying, "It's nothing, we are teammates, didn't you save me too!" "Teammates?" Lin Jiaxin muttered, thoughtful.
The whole team slept until one o'clock at noon before getting up, Xing Lu woke up and felt refreshed, she felt that after her ability was exhausted several times, the control of the spiritual power in her body seemed to be more relaxed, and she felt with her heart, as if the aura in the dantian was more viscous and a little more refined, and the water ability had also been upgraded to level four, and it seemed that she had made greater progress in the battle!
Those ordinary people also dug out the crystal nucleus of the mutant rat and counted it, and last night everyone killed more than a thousand mutant rats, and each mutant got more than thirty crystal nuclei. After the cataclysm, most of the earth's resources have been depleted, and now many things are energy sources with crystal nuclei, so this is a lot of money, and everyone is very excited.
After asking the opinions of several other people, Xing Lu did not want the meat of the mutated rat, although some places regard the dishes made by the rat as delicious, but Xing Lu really can't pass the hurdle in his heart, and it's not that he doesn't have nothing to eat, Xing Lu doesn't want to force himself, and several other people also expressed the same will. Seeing that those with abilities don't want mutant rat meat, those ordinary people who don't have the support of the alien come forward and put away all the mutant rats, with these rat meat, maybe they can let them live for a while.
After allocating these, everyone finished their meals, the time was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and after asking everyone's opinions, He Lei announced that the team would continue to move forward, and then walk forward for a few hours to find a place to live. Hu Lingling knew that some people were dissatisfied with the convoy stationed here yesterday, and there was another mutant rat swarm attack on everyone at night, although it had been resolved, it was inevitable that no one would make irresponsible remarks, and now everyone asked to continue to hurry, she absolutely couldn't say anything more, not to mention that she also felt that it was too dirty here and didn't want to live here anymore.
In Xing Lu's car, this time it was Wang Yongwei who drove, Xiaohua sat in the co-pilot, Xing Lu, Lin Jiaxin, and Zhang Qiang sat in the back seat, last night's battle shortened the distance between Xing Lu and Lin Jiaxin a lot, and now Lin Jiaxin is not as cold as the first two days, there are a lot more words, and several people are happy together.
Walking and walking, Xing Lu found that there were many slender green tentacles sticking out of both sides of the road, none of which were very long, and even the car they were driving in the middle of the road could not reach, but they still kept stretching out to the middle of the road, Xing Lu seemed to vaguely see purple beads on the bodies of those mutated plants, the size of a ping pong ball. "What is this place in front?" Xing Lu asked curiously, not knowing anything about the terrain here.
