Chapter 34: The Rat
Xiaowen slept soundly, and was pushed by Du Jiujiu like this, muttered impatiently, turned over, and turned her head to fall asleep.
Du Jiujiu suddenly became anxious and angry, when is this, can she sleep so deadly, if she encounters danger at night in the future, she will not even have a chance to escape.
Thinking of this, Du Jiujiu pinched the soft flesh on her waist. This time, Xiaowen was completely energetic, and she screamed "oops".
Seeing this, Du Jiujiu hurriedly covered her mouth, and listened to it again, the gnawing sound just now was completely inaudible, and the silence in the empty canteen was terrifying.
"Xiaowen, you quickly use your mental power to perceive it and see if there is anything abnormal nearby." Du Jiujiu lowered his voice, and there was still a bit of anxiety in his tone.
Xiaowen also reacted at this time, and hurriedly followed what Du Jiujiu said, closed her eyes and searched carefully.
After only a moment, Xiaowen tightly grabbed the corner of Du Jiujiu's clothes, and there was a cry in her voice: "Jiujiu...... Yes...... There was a large group, as if ...... It seems to be a mouse! We are already surrounded! ”
"How so?! When you searched the cafeteria before, didn't there be no anomalies? The successive raids made Du Jiujiu's mood a little anxious.
"I ...... I saw that there were people living in it, so I didn't look too closely, and their holes were deep underneath the storage room, I ...... I didn't find it before...... "Xiaowen was a little weak-hearted, she was a little tired before, and when she saw that the cafeteria was already inhabited, she thought that there was no danger, so she was lazy and didn't check carefully, who knew that it would put them in crisis.
Du Jiujiu instructed Xiaowen to wake up a few other people, and he took advantage of the hazy moonlight to pick up the long knife beside him, lighten his steps, and slowly walked out. An Cheng was still unconscious in the duty room next to him at this time, and if he was close to the rat monster, he would have no power to protect himself.
As soon as Du Jiujiu lifted the curtains, she saw a group of dense red eyes staring straight at her in the dark, she couldn't help but shudder, and unconsciously tightened the long knife in her hand.
It's always easy to frighten people at night, especially tonight, when it's as cold as water.
Even though Du Jiujiu has been constantly evolving, his night vision ability is not as good as that of a nocturnal mouse.
Du Jiujiu saw countless figures rushing towards him, and he was suddenly startled, and swept the knife in front of him. Although her strength was strong enough, the number of rats was too large, and after killing several rats the size of a dog cub with a single sword, she had to jump up and jump out of the encirclement of the rats.
Now that she has been discovered by the rats, she doesn't have to be cautious anymore, and while continuing to swing her knife to attack, she shouts the names of Hu Xiaoyun and He Wenyuan loudly. At this moment, a huge fireball flew behind her, smashed into the swarm of rats and exploded, killing and injuring the rats.
Du Jiujiu finally saw the appearance of these rat monsters clearly at the moment when the fireball swept by. The gray fur is no different from that of ordinary mice, but the size of the body that has obviously increased several times, and the incisors that glow in the reflection of the firelight, all show their strengthened combat power.
More than a dozen rat monsters hit by the fireball were killed instantly, and the rat monsters at the edge of the explosion range were all red-eyed, ears back, and beards gathered together, rolling on the ground in pain, squeaking and howling.
"Jiujiu, I'll help you!" Hu Xiaoyun snorted, and flew up with the long hair behind her, and the flames in her hands condensed again. After so many days of training, Hu Xiaoyun has become more and more comfortable with the use of his abilities, and the charging time of the fireball has also decreased a lot. However, the time of accumulation is still very fatal for her.
When the rats sensed the danger, a large rat monster with red fur let out a piercing scream from its throat. The group of more than 100 mutant monsters behind it swarmed towards Hu Xiaoyun.
"Xiaoyun!!" Before Du Jiujiu could rush back to Hu Xiaoyun's side, a figure had already rushed in front of Hu Xiaoyun, brandished the two fire axes in his hand, and shot down several rat monsters that were about to bite her in front.
The person who came was He Wenyuan, he was woken up by Du Jiujiu's shout just now, and when he just picked up his weapon, he saw the scene in front of him, and rushed over without even bothering to put on his shoes.
It's a pity that there are not only these few rat monsters that pounced, and in the moment He Wenyuan was distracted, the rat monsters that came after him pounced on him. He Wenyuan couldn't dodge and was bitten by several rat monsters. He took a breath of cold air in pain, but he didn't scream, and the axe in his hand swung more and more wildly, but there were more and more rat monsters on his body.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Du Jiujiu quickly rushed towards He Wenyuan's side after slashing to death a few rat monsters she attacked.
"Bow your head!" Du Jiujiu shouted, the long knife in his hand was picked up, and the sharp blade split all the rat monsters that were thrown in mid-air. She didn't care that she was splashed with the blood of the rats, and turned to attack the rat monster that pounced again.
The attacks of these rat monsters were like a tidal wave, and they didn't give her a chance to breathe at all. Fortunately, behind her, there were Hu Xiaoyun and He Wenyuan from the side to assist, whenever she was tired of guarding and couldn't dodge, Hu Xiaoyun's fireball and He Wenyuan's axe could always arrive in time, so that she could save the day.
As time passed, the rat corpses on the ground accumulated more and more, and just when the sky was getting brighter, the last rat monster was also hacked to death by Du Jiujiu.
Hu Xiaoyun sat on the ground panting, although she was only in charge of long-range attacks, the overdraft of energy still made her body full of exhaustion.
Du Jiujiu's consumption is much greater than that of Hu Xiaoyun, after all, the rat monsters she killed alone accounted for seven or eight out of ten. However, with her extraordinary physical strength, she was able to support her body and did not fall down immediately.
He Wenyuan was even worse, his strength was not as great as Du Jiujiu's, and his agility was also a lot worse, and a lot of meat was bitten off by rats on his arms and thighs. He hadn't paid much attention to the battle before, but now he relaxed, and the severe pain made his face very pale.
Just when they all thought that tonight's bitter battle was over, Xiaowen's anxious voice rang out: "Jiujiu! There is also a large swarm of rats coming out of the hole under the storage room!! ”
"What!!" Du Jiujiu and the others were all taken aback, after fighting all night, they were almost exhausted, so the news was really a bolt from the blue for them.
"How many are there this time?!" Du Jiujiu asked anxiously, her energy was running out, and the soreness in her body was also reminding her that she had no strength left to fight anymore.
"One Hundred ...... Two hundred...... No, that's not all, there are more of them than the previous group of rat monsters! Xiaowen's voice was constantly trembling, she only felt countless points of energy surging from the side of the storeroom, and she couldn't even count them, and it was the first time she felt that death was so close to her.
