Chapter Seventy-Five: The Mutant Rats
Sleeping, which is a luxury in the wilderness of the wasteland, because you don't know what deadly danger will come while you sleep, so experienced people sleep very lightly, or are alerted by evolved instincts.
For example, Lin Mu and Old Carl, when those stumbling outside the tent appeared, the two of them immediately opened their eyes.
"Whew...... Whew......"
David was lying on the chaise longue at the door of the tent, snoring so loudly that he didn't do a good job of guarding at all. On the other side, Sophia was the same, even if the voices outside were so creepy, she still slept very soundly.
Don't look at old Carl as a lame, but he was very agile, and after a few strokes of his crutches, he reached the door of the tent, and when he looked out, his face immediately changed, and he slapped David's shaved head hard.
"Damn ugly! Hurry up and get me up! ”
Beside him, Lin Mu was also slightly discolored. In front of him, outside the isolation of the power grid defense system, there was something red on the surface of the body, which was the kind of mutant rat that he had killed before.
He hurried out of the tent and looked around to see that there were at least a thousand of these mutant rats. They stared at each other with red-eyed eyes, one huddle after the other, all staring at the camp with bloodthirsty eyes.
"My God!"
David, who was woken up, saw this scene, and stood up suddenly, his legs trembling directly. Old Carl spat on the ground and cursed, "Hell! I've never seen anything like it! ”
Poked a hornet's nest?
Lin Mu smiled bitterly in his heart, if he knew that there was such a result, he would not kill the mutant rat if he said before.
But now is not the time to regret it, the number of these mutant rats is still increasing, if you wait a little longer, I'm afraid there will be no chance to leave here.
"Get ready to fight! You're responsible for killing the people who rushed in! ”
With a wave of his hand, three M16 automatic rifles appeared on the ground, along with a full box of standard point 233 bullets. Old Carl and David did not hesitate, picked up the gun and began to reload, only Sophia, who had just woken up, was a little helpless holding the gun.
Seeing that she didn't know how to use firearms, Lin Mu could only shake his head and sigh. immediately snatched the gun from her hand and said in a deep voice: "You are responsible for loading the two of them!" ”
A person who doesn't know how to use a gun, forcing her to use a gun will only add to the trouble.
"David, when I count to three, I'll open the gap!"
He raised his hand and pointed to two sub-devices less than two meters apart. This portable power grid defense system has obvious advantages, but the disadvantages are also obvious, when the mutant beasts outside can't enter the inside, the people inside can't attack the outside.
David ran to the central console in three or two steps and made an OK gesture.
Lin Mu gently inhaled the cold air, took out the mantis knife from the storage space, and when he just walked to the gap, he suddenly patted his head and said, "I almost forgot!" ”
Turning around, he waved his hand, and the stoves, kitchen utensils, tables, chairs, tents, and other things in the camp disappeared. Without the shelter of the tent, these mutant rats surrounding the camp are even more alarming.
"Three!"
Back in the gap, he tightened his grip on the mantis knife. This mutant rat is not a threat to him at all, the only problem is that the number is too terrifying.
In case it drags on for a long time, let them find a way in...... For example, if you dig a hole in the ground, then everyone else will be in danger.
"Two!"
When there was only one second left in the countdown, I don't know if it was an illusion, and the mutant rats outside became quiet. David's fingers trembled, and he almost pressed the confirmation button several times.
"One!"
"Buzz!"
With a buzzing sound, the forest curtain instantly rushed out of the gap and blocked the outside, waving his hand is a knife. In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and at least a dozen mutant rats were killed or injured.
That's not enough!
His eyes froze, the muscles of his body bulged violently, and he swept forward in a large circle with his knife. Suddenly, the air was filled with the rancid smell of the mutant beast's internal organs.
"Shhh
Only then did the mutant rats react, they let out a sharp and piercing hiss, and those who approached the gap jumped up one after another, either with their claws or with their fangs, and attacked the forest curtain one after another, and a few of them seemed to understand that the gap could be passed, and rushed into the camp with their bodies.
The battle began immediately, Lin Muru was guarding the gap, and any mutant rat that wanted to get close had to pay the price of blood, and occasionally one or two took the opportunity to pass, and they also died under the skillful marksmanship of old Karl.
Sophia quickly reloaded the empty magazine, and often Carl Sr. had already loaded a magazine before she had emptied a magazine.
As for David? Lin Mu took advantage of the opportunity to turn around with a knife and hurriedly glanced at this damn coward hiding behind him, shivering, and could faintly hear this damn guy praying to his God.
I'll clean you up when the trouble is solved!
Lin Mu was slightly angry. Although it can be seen from the fact that David was scared to pee his pants by Christine before, he is a complete coward, but he didn't expect that he who has become a first-level enhancer is not as brave as Sophia.
"Kill!"
A strong wind hit, Lin Mu concentrated, shouted, stepped forward, and waved the knife in his hand in a big circle again.
Whether it was the mutant rat that touched the blade, or the mutant rat that was touched by his arm like an iron whip, they all suffered heavy casualties.
"Plop!"
As his physical strength was exerted, the heartbeat in his chest grew louder and louder. In this seemingly endless mechanized swinging of the knife, he gradually mastered some skills in using the knife.
ten, fifty, hundred, three hundred, five hundred...... More and more mutant rats died in front of him, but the physical strength he consumed was getting less and less.
One of the reasons is the improvement of his fighting skills, and the other main reason is that these greedy beasts, in such tense moments of battle, do not forget to bite and devour the corpses of their own kind.
Of course, their cannibalistic behavior has brought great convenience to Lin Mu. You know, even if these mutant rats are not big, but if you let their corpses keep piling up?
Then there is no doubt that a hill of corpses will easily overshadow the highest barrier of the power grid defense system, and the defense line held by the forest curtain will also be self-defeating!
"Lin! It's not the way to go! ”
Swinging the knife again at a sharp angle, the voice of old Carl was heard behind him, slightly agitated. Lin Mu didn't stop at all, but said in a muffled voice: "Go on!" ”
Where could he not see that these mutant rats surrounding the camp were almost inexhaustible? It's just that he doesn't have any other way now.
Flee directly in an armored reconnaissance car? This is indeed a good idea, but don't forget, the wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicle has a significant drawback, its wheels are not as strong as its armor, and in the face of the teeth and claws of these mutant rats, I am afraid that it will not be able to run for a few hundred meters before you have to eat.
"Shhh
The mutant rat swarm erupted in a shrill hiss again, and they attacked with even more rapid onslaught. But Lin Mu, who was wielding a knife, raised his eyebrows, and showed a strange expression on his face.
