The Vicissitudes of the Sea Chapter 1 The Rat Plague

With this rune, the strength of soul energy has also increased a bit, but not too much.

Hua Yan also secretly probed the priests of the Light and Dark Alliance he encountered, these people were all soul power, and the soul energy rift was much bigger than his.

But the rune Hua Yan in their minds was completely incomprehensible, it was a three-dimensional symbol similar to a spiral cone, unlike any text, it was more complex than the "Ze" character script, and it seemed to be more powerful.

Their respective rune forms were also different, but they were able to fly in the sky, which shocked Hua Yan, who really wanted to study their runes.

It's just that the time he encountered them was also very short, Hua Yan didn't have a chance to trace those runes in his mind further, and these people had no hostility towards him, and he couldn't figure out the depth of these people for a while.

Hua Yan couldn't figure out what kind of organization this mysterious Light and Dark Alliance was, but now it seemed that these priests of the Light and Dark Alliance wanted to help the surviving humans rebuild civilization.

In terms of the current situation, it is also a good thing, Hua Yan didn't think too much about these things, but just hoped that the more people who could survive in this last days, the better.

Now for Hua Yan, the Demon is the biggest enemy of mankind, and as long as this alliance of light and darkness does not kill humans, he is willing to live in peace with them.

As for joining the Light and Darkness Alliance, it was impossible for Hua Yan, he knew his mission, and from the moment his father Hua Zhenyue dug out his eyeballs to him, he would always bear this mission.

After the terrifying black rain stopped, the radiation in the wild environment did not decrease much, and normal humans still could not be exposed to the wild.

I don't know how the people in the cave are doing now, and whether Liu Haitao, Sun Yunlong and Xiao Li are in any danger.

The more than 20 people who have taken the Giant Desolation Fruit don't know how well they have mastered the application of soul energy, and that set of Mojia swordsmanship, under the leadership of Xiao Li, there should be a lot of progress.

It is more than 100 kilometers from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region back to the cave, and at Huayan's current speed, it will take at least five or six days, and it is easy to get lost after the change in terrain after the nuclear explosion.

Although the black rain stopped, the sky was still shrouded in black-gray radioactive clouds, not allowing the slightest sunlight, and after wandering for a week, Hua Yan returned to the cave.

Now the cave is very well repaired, a stone wall has been built outside the cave entrance, and there is an iron gate to protect the huge wilderness and the flat land.

The people in the cave are also busy in an orderly manner, many people are making things by hand, and initially set up schools, clinics, blacksmith shops, small markets, etc., just like a small town.

"Uncle Hua Yan! Uncle Hua Yan! You're back~"

As soon as Hua Yan entered the cave, Cai Xinxin ran towards him happily with big eyes.

"Well, Xiao Xinxin is good, come and let your uncle hug you~"

The long-lost warmth made Hua Yan very excited, and she hugged Cai Xinxin and was amused.

"Hua Yan is back~"

Seeing Hua Yan coming back, Hua Sihai also pushed away the matter at hand and walked here.

"Yo ~ Uncle Sihai!"

Hua Yan put Cai Xinxin down, took care of Hua Sihai, and then gently patted Xiao Xinxin's head and motioned her to play next to her.

"Uncle Sihai, what about my brothers? Why don't you see them now? ”

Hua Yan was a little puzzled, and after coming back, he searched for a long time, but he didn't find Liu Haitao, Sun Yunlong, or Xiao Li, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"Alas~"

Hua Sihai sighed and took out a pack of "Red Panda" cigarettes from his arms.

Took out two and handed one to Hua Yan.

Hua Yan waved his hand lightly, signaling not to smoke.

Hua Sihai didn't force it, he ordered one by himself, and then took a deep sip.

"Liu Haitao and Xiao Li took people to the grain depot to grab grain, Sun Yunlong left here some time ago......"

Hua Sihai said with a heavy face, during this time, he has obviously aged a lot, and it seems that the lives of these thousands of people have brought a lot of pressure to this old party member and the old village chief.

"What's going on at the granary?"

Hua Yan's heart couldn't help but tighten, and he asked a little eagerly.

As they spoke, they walked to the dark river and found two large stones to sit down.

"There was a rat plague at the grain depot, and it was about half a month, and the black rain had just stopped for a few days......

Hua Sihai frowned, spit out the smoke, and said slowly.

"According to the people who watched the grain depot, at first there were dozens of rats bigger than rabbits, very fierce, after being beaten back, hundreds came, and then there were thousands, and I heard that there was a rat king the size of a wolf dog!"

"We can't fight, people will withdraw from somewhere, we will run out of food...... now relying on collecting food outside is not enough to maintain rations~"

"Xiao Li took those more than 20 people, now he has some ability, and he is not very afraid of the radiation outside, and then it was agreed that Xiao Li took his wave of people as escorts, and Liu Haitao took some young people to drive in protective clothing, and went to the grain depot to grab grain, how much can be grabbed, and barely maintain the ration......s first."

Hearing this, Hua Yan's heart became more and more gloomy, he didn't expect the rat plague to come so early and so serious.

Originally, according to the breeding cycle of mice, more than two months, there should not be too many mutant mice, but now there have been thousands of rat groups, and even a rat king! It's deadly......

There is no food to produce, and if rats are rampant, their ability to grab food far exceeds that of humans, and most of the humans who survive will starve to death.

It's only been a few months since the nuclear explosion, and there is such a serious mutant rat disaster, so will there be more terrifying mutant creatures in the future, thinking of this, Hua Yan is even more on pins and needles.

"Uncle Sihai, I'll go to the grain depot first!"

Hua Yan stood up and said with an anxious face.

"Good!"

Hua Sihai threw the cigarette butt in his hand, stepped on it, walked over and patted Hua Yan's shoulder vigorously with one hand.

The journey from the cave to the grain depot is more than 20 kilometers, and there are no accidents on the road, and occasionally mutated rats and insects will be encountered.

With Liu Haitao and Xiao Li's safety in mind, Hua Yan let go of his speed and fully opened his perception!

As soon as he approached the underground grain depot, he heard the sound of clanging fights inside, as well as the screams of mutant rats, Hua Yan rushed in without pausing and .......

"Sword Sweeping Style!"

Hua Yan kicked his feet, and the bronze ancient sword in his hand rolled up a large sword shadow, and even the sword rushed directly into the mutant rat group.

More than a dozen mutant mice were swept to pieces at once, and the strength of more than a thousand kilograms made the Mo family's swordsmanship that he was now unfolding extremely terrifying, and he immediately opened a bloody path.

"Third brother!"

"The third child!"

When Xiao Li and Liu Haitao saw Hua Yan coming in, they immediately looked ecstatic~

Now there are forty or fifty of them, basically all of them are injured, those with soul ability led by Xiao Li each hold an iron sword and fight on the periphery, and the young man led by Liu Haitao is the middle of the iron shovel and iron fork with a long handle.

These rats are not the fat and bulky granary rats of the past, but the mutated rats in the radiation-filled wild, larger than rabbits, with blood-red eyes, fangs, and long front paws, half of which can already stand upright.

These mutant rats are quick and fierce in attack, if it weren't for Xiao Li taking some people to practice the Mo family's swordsmanship hard in the past two months, it would be difficult to support them in the face of the siege of these rats.

Before Hua Yan came, they were basically in a stalemate with the rats.

"Third child, be careful of the fangs and claws of these rats!"

Liu Haitao held the shovel in his hand and reminded Hua Yan nervously.

"Third brother, there is a rat king behind the rat group, very cunning, these rats are very organized, and they will cooperate with each other."

Xiao Li leaned over to Hua Yan and whispered.

"Hmm!"

Hua Yan nodded heavily and responded.

At this time, Hua Yan also let go of his perception, and sure enough, he saw a mouse bigger than a wolf dog, with fangs half a foot and front paws more than a foot long, and he had been directing and dispatching the rat group in the back, and it seemed that his IQ was not low.

Hua Yan wanted to kill this rat king first, but there were many rats in the way, and he had to avoid someone from falling into the rat pack, in that case, it was estimated that there would be no bones left in a few seconds.

"Xiao Li, you take your people to protect the back, boss, the rest of you follow me and rush forward~"

Hua Yan greeted, and then used his soul energy to push forward and the flanks on both sides with all his might, and the rats were forcibly pushed open a gap.

The mutant rats that tried to pounce were also killed one by one.

Seeing that the rats retreated slightly, Hua Yan took the opportunity to launch the Mo family's swordsmanship and slaughtered on a large scale.

After two waves like this, a total of nearly 100 mutant rats were killed, and at this time, what made Hua Yan strange was that the Rat King slipped away and ran out of Hua Yan's perception range.

The remaining mutant rats were stalemate for a while, and then quickly scattered and fled.

These rats are very fast, and Hua Yan and they can't catch up, so they have to stop it.

"Third child, fortunately you came in time, otherwise today would really not be the end......"

Liu Haitao shook his head, came over with a solemn face and patted Hua Yan on the shoulder.

"Third brother, let's transport some food first, let's go back quickly, this rat swarm is not easy to deal with, and it comes and goes freely, it's really troublesome!"

Xiao Li looked at Hua Yan eagerly and said.

"Okay, let's transport the grain back to the cave first, and discuss the rest of the things when we go back!"

Hua Yan nodded, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to go to the grain depot to carry grain, while he used his perception to guard around to see if the rats had returned.

When they came, there were four cars carrying more than a dozen tons of grain, Liu Haitao was more careful, and asked people to leave all the protective clothing on the car, and then went down to the underground grain depot, but fortunately the protective clothing was not damaged.

"Third brother, your sword moves are much more powerful now!"

On the way back, Xiao Li looked at Hua Yan excitedly and said.

"Well, I've found a rune that can increase a lot of strength and heal wounds..."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Xiao Li's eyes suddenly lit up, and Liu Haitao also looked forward to it.

"Can we use it?"

Xiao Li asked anxiously.

"No~"

Hua Yan shook his head and said a little helplessly.

"You can't use this rune yet, and your body can't withstand the soul energy of this rune at the moment!"

Hearing this, Xiao Li and their hearts were gloomy......
