79. Multi-barreled rat arrow cannon
Since someone is dead, you have to move quickly.
Ding Hao first stuffed the two corpses on the ground into the interface space, scraped off the blood stains on the wall, and used a flamethrower to burn the skull fragments on the ground into charcoal, and confirmed that the traces had been thoroughly cleaned before leaving the tunnel quickly.
The exit to the tunnel is located in the basement of a residential building, about one hundred and fifty meters away from the defense line of the Purifier army, and the Purifier soldiers can be seen directly from the house on the guard tower in the distance. Ding Hao relied on his stealth skills to sneak through the warning area and find a rat nest, and then threw the two corpses in the interface space into the rat nest, and the crazy rats immediately swarmed up.
Without two people, these soldiers should soon be alert, but vigilance is one thing, finding the body is another, and it is even more difficult to say whether Ding Hao's head can be found after finding the body.
After getting the corpse, Ding Hao thought for a little for two seconds, and then decided to find the two agents first, their abilities were very helpful to his target. The Rat King could wait a while before killing, and it wouldn't be able to get there for a while anyway, but it would be a problem if the two agents were killed by the Purifier soldiers because of the delay.
According to the coordinates given by Xana, Ding Hao spent half a day walking to the residential area where the two agents were hiding. There are so many highly mutated rats along the way that you can see three or five large rats and a group of small rats scurrying around in the ruins in a few steps, and there is simply no grass everywhere you go. In order to avoid startling the snakes, Ding Hao did not kill any of the mutant rats, but kept avoiding them in a stealthy state.
The two agents were hiding in an upscale residential area built next to a small river, and these large villas of three or four stories were still standing after decades of wind and rain, and they were clearly of excellent quality. Houses like this usually have a sturdy shelter and plenty of food, making them a great place to escape disaster.
Ding Hao turned on the radio on the tactical terminal, then tuned to a specific channel, and whispered into the radio: "The free bell rings." ”
There was silence over the radio for a moment, and then a female voice came: "Towards independence." ”
One, two, three, Ding Hao silently counted for three seconds, and then said into the radio: "Blood pours the flower of victory." ”
"217" is the house number this time.
After looking around in Villa 217, Ding Hao found the safe house hidden in the attic, knocked lightly on the door, and with the gentle opening of the metal door, a woman held a .45 caliber UPS pistol against Ding Hao's head.
"Calm down, friend, this is my badge." Ding Hao was not frightened by this battle, but handed over his volunteer badge very calmly.
Mara took the badge and looked at it before putting away her weapon, "I'm sorry, but I had to." ”
"There's no need to apologize, ma'am, there's no time to talk now, let's get out of here." Ding Hao didn't care about Mara's behavior and went straight to the point.
"I want to go too, but not yet." After hearing Ding Hao's words, Mara's face was suddenly full of sadness, and then she took Ding Hao into the safe house.
On the bed in the safe house lay a flushed man, already in a deep coma, and his face was distorted, as if he was in great pain. His legs were wrapped in thick bandages, dark red blood soaked through the bandages, and the horror was that the skin of his exposed legs was already covered with black spots.
"What's wrong with him?" Ding Hao took off his gloves and touched Jerrold's forehead, and found that his hand was hot, and this person's body temperature was at least 40 degrees.
"He was bitten by a rat and then he became like this, please help me." Mara said to Ding Hao almost in a pleading tone.
"I'll try as much as I can." Ding Hao took off his backpack and knelt beside Gerald, first injected him with a therapeutic needle, and then fed him a tube of antidote, the combination of therapeutic needles and antidote is enough to deal with any situation, not to mention that the antidote made of bear bile itself has the effect of lowering body temperature. Seeing that the situation had improved slightly, Ding Hao used a dagger to cut open the bandage that wrapped the wound, and sealed the wound with medical glue.
"Looks like it's working!" Looking at Gerald's changes, Mara said in surprise.
"Uh......" Gerald looked a little confused as he woke up from his coma, "Where am I?" ”
"We're in a safe house, and you're in a poisoned coma after being bitten by a rat." Mara asked Gerald with concern, "How are you feeling now?" ”
"I ...... I felt a little weak. Gerald said.
"He's very seriously infected, and he has to find a cure." Ding Hao checked the dark spots on Gerald's leg and found that there was no reduction in the slightest, "I can only suppress his pain at most, and it is difficult to heal completely." ”
"Don't speak, he's here to pick us up." Seeing that Gerald was about to ask a question, Mar stretched out his finger to Gerald's mouth, "We'll be safe soon." ”
No, the couple had to return to Portland's inner city, but for the two Vigilant agents, Portland occupied by the Purifiers was not much safer than the wilderness, and even more dangerous.
"If you're ready, we're ready to go." Ding Hao said.
"No, wait!" However, what Ding Hao didn't expect was that Gerald actually struggled to sit up: "You must kill the Rat King, otherwise we won't be able to go anywhere!" ”
With that, Gerald began to cough violently.
"Rat King? What does this have to do with the Rat King? Ding Hao suddenly became interested. Slow down, we still have time."
With Gerald's explanation, Ding Hao also understood what happened, it turned out that Gerald was a technical nerd, he used some waste items to make a sonic device used to drive away mice, this device is very effective for both ordinary mice and mutant rats, but it has no effect on the rat king, and will even attract the other party. Gerald was bitten by the Rat King while he was out looking for food, and if Mara hadn't fought off the Rat King desperately, the creature would have been eaten by the rats.
"If you don't have to...... Oh well. Ding Hao stopped after half a sentence, the answer to this question is obvious, if you don't use that sonic device, it is estimated that you will be overwhelmed by mutant rats after a few steps, after all, these two people do not have the ability to be invisible like Ding Hao.
"In that case, then I'll go and kill that rat king first, and then I'll take you back to Portland." Ding Hao said, "So where did you meet the Rat King?" ”
"In the southeastern part of the city." Mara handed Ding Hao a small device like a walkman, "This is for you, you just need to open it, and the Rat King will come to the door by himself." ”
It was actually in the southeast of the city, and the information that Xiana gave to Ding Hao showed that the Rat King was in the northwest of the city, but I didn't expect this guy to run so far, fortunately, I came to find these two agents first, otherwise I don't know how much time would be wasted.
In fact, two days ago, the purifier troops dispatched more than 100 people and two helicopters to encircle and suppress the Rat King, almost blowing up the place where the Rat King was originally hiding to the ground.
Walking on the streets of the city that had been occupied by countless rats, Ding Hao turned on the sound wave device in his hand, and the low-frequency infrasound waves that were inaudible to the human ear diffused, and suddenly a large circle of rats around them fled, and the originally crowded streets instantly became empty and silent.
After a while, the earth began to tremble slightly, as if something was about to emerge from the ground. Ding Hao hung the sonic device on his waist and opened the safety of the SCAR-H rifle to prepare for battle.
In less than three seconds, with the crisp sound of the stone slab cracking, a behemoth emerged from the ground. In appearance, it was a giant mouse, three meters tall and three meters wide, in the shape of a sphere, and it looked disgusting. However, appearance is secondary, and what is really disgusting is his back, the back of the Rat King is as round as a ball, and it is covered with dense fist-sized round holes, and countless small mice are drilling around in the round holes. The rat king's body shook slightly, and dozens or hundreds of rats were shaken off their backs by it, and then rushed towards Ding Hao.
“WTF?” Ding Hao hurriedly took out a flamethrower and sprayed at the group of little mice, and in the scream, the little mice were burned into charcoal by the flames, and only a group of them were burned to death, and the rat king rushed over with the second group of little mice.
Ding Hao hurriedly turned the nozzle, and the blazing flames sprayed the rat king's head and face, but the rat king was not afraid at all, and rushed over and slapped a paw on Ding Hao's body, Ding Hao was directly shot out seven or eight meters away, and even the flamethrower was distorted and deformed by the rat king's claw, and then caught fire and exploded.
"Oh my God." Ding Hao lay on the ground and watched the Rat King rush over violently, and immediately raised his left hand, and a hook shot out, firmly nailed to the top of the telephone pole, and then pulled Ding Hao up.
Ding Hao clamped the telephone pole with his legs, took out the SCAR-H from the interface space and pulled the trigger on the rat king, and the armor-piercing high-explosive projectile with 4 times the speed of sound dragged a long blue trail towards the target, and each shot could tear a fist-sized blood hole on the rat king's body, and purple-black blood splashed.
After being injured, the rat king immediately let out a roar, and the little rats around his feet quickly crawled towards the telephone pole where Ding Hao was, Ding Hao aimed at the little rat group is a grenade, and the rat group was suddenly blown to pieces.
After the rat swarm was killed, Ding Hao found that the rat king was in a strange posture: he saw that he lowered his body, supported the ground with one hand, and the mouse holes on his back were all facing Ding Hao, and each mouse only had its head peeking out of the hole, and its scarlet eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light.
This is...... Looking at this strange scene, Ding Hao was a little confused. However, in the next second, these rats shot towards Ding Hao from the back of the Rat King like a rocket.
