Chapter 56: The Rat King

Twitter!

Not long after the giant centipede-like creature appeared, a large number of giant rats gathered around, and a giant rat that was significantly larger than the other companions was surrounded and appeared in the field of vision of Li Ru and the others.

The black, hardened skin is as large as an adult elephant, and its blood-red eyes are the size of a fist.

Li Ru felt that this should be the Rat King, his limbs looked extremely strong, the blade-like claws at the end flashed with a chilling light, and a huge tail kept rising and falling, bang! Bang! Repeatedly slapping the ground, dust, more and more cracks, and finally the hard concrete floor sank down one by one.

The Giant Rat King raised his head to the giant centipede-like alien, and slowly opened his huge mouth, revealing his snow-white Sensen saber teeth, and let out an extremely terrifying scream.

"Squeak——! The sound swirled around, and the aftermath lasted for a long time, and all the giant rats around them resonated and called.

Li Ru and several women all sat on the ground, their faces pale, desperately blocking their ears. The screams of the rats, like the noise of a thousand blades cutting through the glass at the same time, made people dizzy, exhausted, and almost completely incapacitated.

The screaming lasted for more than ten seconds, and suddenly the terrible screams among the rats continued, blood from the internal organs flowed, and a group of giant rats were instantly separated and died. The Rat King sensed the crisis, so he stopped screaming, turned sideways slightly, and locked on to the target with blood-red eyes.

The centipede-like alien took out a few giant rats in three or two clicks, staring at the Rat King, who also raised his huge head and grinned in response to a similar roar. A centipede-like alien creature and a big outrageous giant rat king are constantly roaring at each other, their voices are full of provocation, and the ** smell is getting stronger and stronger, it seems that a death match is about to unfold between these two equally terrifying creatures.

Finally, the rat king couldn't hold his breath first, and with a scream, dozens of giant rats around him rushed over at the same time, trying to bite the many long feet that supported the big centipede, but the big centipede was not a vegetarian, only to see its double pincers struggling to sweep, and many of the giant rat bodies around immediately flew out like pieces of paper, all the hard bones were broken, internal organs and blood gushed out, and even a deep long mark appeared on the concrete floor, as if it had been cut by a blade.

In the face of the tragic death of their companions, the other giant rats let out more piercing screams, still fearless, and rushed up, although the individual strength gap is large, but the absolute advantage in numbers should not be underestimated, although the big centipede killed many giant rats, but they were also bitten off by the giant rats that followed one after another, so that they could only barely support the huge body.

Perhaps thinking that the time was ripe, the Rat King's red eyes showed a terrifying and violent color, and his huge body shot out like an arrow, opening his mouth full of fangs, and struggling to pounce on the big centipede, intending to deal it a fatal blow!

The big centipede also seemed to feel the crisis, and its body retracted into the big hole it broke out of at a very fast speed, it seemed that it was ready to escape from the battle, but the rat king did not mean to give up, this was a death match, with its low roar, all the giant rats around it jumped into the hole, it seemed that they were ready to chase to the end.

What hatred? What resentment? Li Ru didn't know why they suddenly had to fight so hard with each other, but the good news was that the earth-shattering battle just now returned to calm as the Rat King finally jumped into the hole to chase after him, leaving only a messy and ruined road and a large hole, and many of the corpses of the giant rats were still lying on the ground with blood, and some of them were not dead or even slightly**.

"It's horrible." Li Ru lay behind the cover, his voice trembling a little, "It's good that it didn't find us, otherwise we might have died." ”

"Are you alright?" Li Ru came back to his senses, only to find that the three women were curled up in his arms at some point.

"Woooooo The other two women didn't care, and even Li Wei was crying in his arms, it seemed that they were really frightened just now.

This is far away from the place of residence, basically the location of the city center, Li Ru has explored the city for nearly half of a few months, and it is the first time he has encountered such an exciting battle, and it is the first time he has seen the giant rat that usually cringes with such a fierce side, he thought that it was a more docile social animal like the giant rabbit, and it seemed that his idea was a little wrong.

At this time, a group of thieves and rat-eyed little guys are probing their heads around and wandering around, trying to get close to this sudden cemetery, they are a group of timid guys, Li Ru has seen them many times, they basically feed on carrion and corpses, in groups of three or five, they hide when there is a wind and grass on weekdays, there are other creatures that die or predators eat the remaining remains, they will seize the opportunity to get a piece of the pie, like cats and dogs, gray and white fur, it looks nondescript, it is a new species, Li Ru likes to call them ghouls.

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, the large number of giant rats is likely to attract other fierce carnivorous mutant creatures, Li Ru hurriedly took Li Wei and them away.

……

……

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

Li Ru took Li Wei and the others back to the mansion with the collected materials without danger, but Li Ru did not have the slightest luck of escaping death, but his mood was even heavier, a big battle reflected his weakness and helplessness, originally Li Ru was extremely happy because of the increase in physical function, but now it seems that his own strength is a little ridiculous.

Li Ru is very doubtful about whether he has the ability to protect them, faith and determination sometimes seem pale and powerless in the face of reality, yes, Li Ru's heart is a little shaken, what to do, what to do? The human body is so weak, what should we do when we face an opponent who is naturally stronger than us in physical strength? After Li Ru returned, he locked himself in a dim room and meditated.

……

"Li Ru, are you okay?" Li Wei saw that Li Ru had stayed in the house for a long time and didn't come out, so she came over and knocked on the door with some worry and asked.

Chirping~

The gatehouse was quickly opened, and Li Ru seemed to be in good spirits, not as depressed as Li Wei imagined.

"Are you alright?"

"Well, it's okay!"

A quiet environment can make people think calmly, and Li Ru did get the answer he wanted, an obvious answer, an overlooked answer, how can human beings with weak physical functions survive in this earth-shaking world? There is no other way but to rely on wisdom like the ancestors of mankind.

Li Ru once again realized the current situation, the degree of danger outside was still underestimated by himself, he was obviously cautious, but he still made the mistake of comfort, immersed in temporary tranquility and ignored the danger in the dark.

What to do? Li Ru has a rough plan in his heart, he has limited manpower alone, even if he is unwilling, all the women have to be mobilized to complete some extra work, if there is anything to be proud of Li Ru who is stupid and takes on everything, it is now, everyone has no complaints, and voluntarily takes on extra work.

Li Ru's first step is actually very simple, to put it bluntly, it is the work of weeding, the crazy plants around the mansion are all over, which is a hidden danger in itself, the lush vegetation may attract many herbivores to come, they are not terrible, what is terrible is that they may follow them to get vicious predators, Li Ru in order to prevent this possibility, can only be disposed of first, this will not be too dangerous for women, and Li Ru is himself to carry out the second step of the plan, now whether you want it or not, whether it is suitable or not, This area of the mansion can only be used as a safe base, and ensuring absolute security is a top priority.

Li Ru decided to dig a circular ravine around the mansion by himself, as an artificial barrier to resist the possible invasion of mutated creatures, this amount of work is a bit huge, he didn't think about relying on himself to complete it alone, he just prepared to dig a circular shallow pit first, and then let the women take turns to start work, with their own guidance, I don't think there will be much of a problem, although it is a little unbearable to let them do this kind of hard work, but Li Ru really has no better choice.

Behind the mansion is the Fujiang River, which is also the place where they take water every day, Li Ru thinks that maybe the rear is not as good as digging a ravine, such a natural barrier may be enough, but this depends on the future situation, if necessary, it still has to be dug through.
