Chapter 22: Sudden Change

"It's good to have this group of cannon fodder." The eldest of the five took a dog-legged knife and cut off the head of a mutant rat that had slipped through the net, and said to Luo Yuan.

His name is Huang Yaoguang, and he was originally the security captain of a company, and a few days after the company closed down, he took a few of his subordinates and put down roots in the garbage dump. If Luo Yuan hadn't rescued Luo Yuan last time, they would have turned into bones. So as soon as he set off, he and a few brothers followed closely behind Luo Yuan, not leaving an inch.

"A group of rabble, as soon as there is danger, I am afraid that they will disperse!" Luo Yuandao, looking up into the distance, there were many shadows in front of him, this garbage dump of several square kilometers, even if many people left, there were still thousands of people gathered.

The scale of this rat wave is extremely large, and it is probably the largest in the past half a month. The farther forward you go, the more frequent the battles become, the more corpses appear on the ground, and occasionally you can see a few mutant rats, gnawing at the corpses as if no one was around, and the intestines and internal organs are dragging all over the ground.

The smell of blood mixed with the distinctive stench of the dump creates a weird, disgusting smell.

"Look, what's there?" Someone in front of me suddenly shouted at the top of his voice!

Everyone immediately looked and saw a gray blanket more than 100 meters away, constantly moving towards this side. There was a sudden burst of gunfire in front of them, the crowd was in a commotion, and a small number of people began to run back desperately, but more people ran towards that side, and the scene was extremely noisy.

What kind of blanket is this, but a tide of rats with a radius of hundreds of meters, and countless mutant rats gather together, like waves, advancing forward.

"Let's go, the Rat King must be there." Chen Haiyan shouted loudly.

After saying that, he ran to the front.

Everyone quickened their pace and quickly rushed to the front line of the battle, and when they saw it, they couldn't help but gasp.

The front is densely packed with rats, and the rat tide covers several mountains of garbage, and what can be seen is only the tip of the iceberg, but even so, there are no less than a thousand.

If it weren't for the hundreds of people still around him who were fighting, and there were many more people rushing towards this side, I am afraid he would have retreated.

"Kill!" Chen Haiyan shouted, took the lead and rushed into the rat tide, and cut off several mice with a few knives, with the rise and fall of the footwork, the left turn and right rotation of the body, changing the knife techniques such as splitting, piercing, teasing, cutting, wiping, belting, spreading, pulling, and intercepting, and the surrounding mice could not get close at all.

"Boss Luo, what should I do?" Huang Yaoguang and the others were not the people called by Chen Haiyan, and they also admired Luo Yuan, and when they saw this, they did not attack immediately, but asked Luo Yuan.

"It's just a few rats, it's not enough for us to kill, you stand behind me and help me block the mutant rats on both sides." Glancing at Chen Haiyan's performance, Luo Yuan was also slightly excited.

"Okay, we'll be wrapped around the back, and we'll never miss a mouse unless we step on our corpse?" Huang Yaoguang knew that in this way, their pressure would be much lighter, and he immediately assured.

Luo Yuan nodded, picked up the knife and walked forward.

After such a long period of training, his sword skills have improved to thirteen points, and his strength has improved even more than the last time he went to Yushui City. The whole knife in his hand was like an arm and fingers, and it turned into one, only to see his knife light flickering, and before the rats could get close, they were cut off by him, and blood was splashed.

Compared with Chen Haiyan's martial arts knife technique, his knife style does not have many tricks, every move and style are concise to the extreme, and there is never the slightest superfluous action. If you want to talk about the characteristics, there is only one fast word, lightning fast, ordinary people don't even see clearly, a knife has already chopped out. So much so that Huang Yaoguang and the others who followed him basically had nothing to do.

In addition to Luo Yuan and Chen Haiyan, the middle-aged man with Qian Dakui is also particularly eye-catching.

He roared, lowered his body, raised his shield, and rushed towards the rat tide like a reckless ox. His strength was extremely strong, and with the shield with many sharp blades on his side, he rushed all the way, invincible, and the surrounding rats were not only knocked away by it, but their bodies were cut into flesh and blood by the sharp blades on his shield, and they were either dead or disabled.

He rushed a few meters before stopping, his shield spinning around him violently, and several mutant rats that tried to bypass the attack on his side were quickly knocked away. The next moment, he took the machete and kept chopping, although it couldn't be compared with Luo Yuan and Chen Haiyan, but with the shield protection, he could easily withstand the attack of the rat swarm.

Zhou Lao and the three of them fell behind the most, occasionally shooting once, to kill the rats that slipped through the net, for a few of them, every bullet is precious, naturally it is impossible to kill unscrupulously like close combat, and the bullets that they brought over this time are not much, so they can only be used at critical times.

The crowd kept advancing, leaving corpses along the way, some mutant rats, some humans, but many more mutant rats.

Ten minutes later, the crowd had already advanced the front by hundreds of meters, and the number of the crowd had increased to more than a thousand people. The rat tide has become more and more thin.

At this moment, there was a very oppressive roar in front of him, not like the cry of a mouse, but more like the roar of some kind of fierce beast. The mutant rat in front of him, hearing the roar, suddenly began to retreat rapidly like a tide.

"Not good! The Rat King is going to escape, and without this opportunity, it may be even more difficult to kill it in the future. Luo Yuan's face changed and he said loudly, as soon as the Rat King fled, he was afraid that his mission would fail.

"Chase! Must not let him escape? Everyone also saw it, and the crowd was excited for a while.

The team quickly diverged, except for more than 100 people who chased after them, most of them stayed. After all, there are only a few ambitious people, and the vast majority of people come here just to make a big profit, and they don't want to take too many risks, and there are so many corpses of mutant rats, which is enough to allow them to live a stable life for a while, and they can't take risks.

A few minutes later, a giant rat appeared in sight.

I don't know if the road reflects the moonlight, or if the fur itself is like this, it looks silvery-white. The body is about 1.5 meters long, and it is more fluid than that of ordinary mice. The slender tail swings in a straight line in the air, swaying slightly with the movement of the body. It was like a noble king, surrounded by a group of mutant rats and stars, and retreated into the distance without hurrying.

Luo Yuan's eyes lit up, the size of this mutant rat was not too exaggerated, compared to the giant snake and the giant dog, it was just a small man, except for the thousands of mutant rats around the arch guard, the rest were basically on par with the blue-level creatures they had encountered before.

"Do you have the guts to rush?" Luo Yuan said to the improvised team.

"Don't have the guts, we've been at home for a long time, why are we here doing our best, I can see the way of the world, starve the cowardly, support the bold. We're going to die today. Huang Yaoguang cooperated. He could see that Luo Yuan, Chen Haiyan and the others seemed to have an extremely strong desire to attack, although they didn't know the reason, but it must be related to the value of the Rat King, thinking of the rumor he had heard, his heart suddenly pounded.

"Yes, if you don't want to go, you can quit now." Chen Haiyan glanced at everyone after speaking.

"Isn't it a joke that you've quit at this point? Add me one? Qian Dakui pursed his lips, slammed one end of the shield to the ground, and gasped, holding such a heavy weapon, even if his physical strength was good, he was a little unbearable.

"Boss Zhou, what about the three of you?" Chen Haiyan asked the other three.

"None of us are going to quit, but I'm more worried that someone else will take advantage? We're not the only ones here! Boss Zhou rubbed his pistol, glanced at the nearby Bailai people, and said with a smile.

Luo Yuan didn't care much, his goal was to kill the rat king and complete the task. As for how many people share the spoils of war in the end, this is only a matter of later, it is gratifying to have a little more, but it doesn't matter if there is a little less, he has long been ready to go to other places to hunt blue-level creatures, and he can't quarrel with others for a little profit. Even the more people there are, the more they can share some risks and improve the success rate of the task.

But he could only hide this in his heart, he couldn't say it clearly, he thought for a while and said: "It's better to discuss with them and make a charter, I don't think there are many people who dare to go." ”

"I'll do this, I know all the leaders of the bigger teams!" Chen Haiyan pondered for a while and said.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Luo Yuan looked at him coldly.

Luo Yuan can see that Chen Haiyan is a very ambitious person, he has been very active all the way, and he is in the position of a leader intentionally or unintentionally, but all this has nothing to do with him, the more positive he is, the more beneficial it is to himself, and he also likes to see it.

More than 100 people faced thousands of mutant rats plus a rat king, and sure enough, many people hesitated, and only then did they talk about more than 50 people, and they were faintly divided into three teams, which were basically improvised.

After this delay, the rat swarm has gradually crossed one of the garbage mountains, and it is about to disappear, Luo Yuan, who is watching, is anxious, but there is nothing to think about.

After a while, Chen Haiyan finally came back, he looked ahead, and said in a very fast tone: "Because time is pressing, let's talk about it on the road?" ”

"The result of the discussion is that the three teams attack in three directions, and the first to win half of the spoils, and the other two teams to divide it equally." Chen Haiyan trotted and said hurriedly: "The advantage of this is that even if you don't kill the Rat King first, you can still get some!" ”

"That's fine, otherwise even if we kill the Rat King, I'm afraid we will be hacked and eaten by others, and everyone who can mix here is a good stubble, and will do anything for the sake of profit." Qian Dakui nodded.

The garbage dump is an extremely chaotic and cruel place, and the urban area with some order seems to be two worlds. Human life is not worth anything here, and more than 100 people die or disappear almost every day, some of these people are killed by mutant rats and some are killed by people. The corpse of the dead did not even take dawn to turn into a pile of bones.

At the same time that humans eat mutant rats, mutant rats are also eating people.

If there is no strict discipline on the part of the species on land, once the number is increased, the speed will be greatly slowed down. Ten minutes later, the team quickly caught up with the rat tide again.

The battle soon broke out quickly, and after a period of commotion, the rat tide suddenly stopped moving, perhaps seeing that the number of enemies this time was much smaller, there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and countless mutant rats suddenly poured up like a tide.

At this moment, even Luo Yuan felt the pressure increase sharply.

His steps advanced and retreated, swaying from side to side, the chopping horse in his hand almost danced into a phantom in the moonlight, and the mutant rats that were not afraid of death were cut invisibly as soon as they jumped into the air.

He attacked like a tide, like a sharp blade, slowly tearing through the rat tide. Advancing with great difficulty step by step, the corpses of several mutant rats lay down at each step, splattered with blood along the way.

"Drop, Knife Skill +1"

For the prompt of the system, Luo Yuan was unconscious, at this time, his spiritual power was already highly condensed, and his whole body exuded a palpitating aura, which made every mutant rat who rushed over couldn't help but pause slightly, and his movements were chaotic.

Within a minute, there was a attrition in the team. If it is a small strand of mutant rats, it is nothing to do in the back, but it is safer, but now it is a rat tide, and there are rats in all directions.

A rat bit one of them on the calf from behind, and as soon as he was killed, two more rushed from behind. He spurted bullets and scrambled to kill the two mutant rats, only to find that he had gradually separated from the group.

More and more rats swarmed, and he was swallowed up by a swarm of rats just by a cry for help.

"Rubbish!" Boss Zhou turned around and wanted to rescue, but it was too late, he scolded secretly, his face was gloomy, and he glanced at the last subordinate, and the two squeezed towards the middle of the team.

Huang Yaoguang and the others followed closely behind Luo Yuan, blocking the mutant rats from both sides, sharing the pressure on Luo Yuan, but it was soon difficult to continue, and several people hung up the lottery one after another. Seeing this, Chen Haiyan and Qian Dakui also quickly joined in, and ten people gathered in a group, firmly blocking the crazy attack of the mutant rats.

At this time, there was a sudden gunfire in the distance, and the rat tide was alarmed, and it rushed to the other side, and this side was suddenly sent down.

"Grass! Is it an armed police force? Chen Haiyan glanced back in her busy schedule, and suddenly became angry, gritted her teeth and said: "I don't know who informed Lu Dao, if I know Lu Dao, I have to kill him." ”

I saw dozens of soldiers not far away, holding rifles, charging, constantly shooting at the rat tide, and the surrounding mutant rats all rushed towards them, but the mutant rats on Luo Yuan's side became sparse.

He looked at it for a while, his face was cloudy, and he could only sigh dejectedly: "Let's go, there are these people." We don't even have soup to drink, and they won't let go of every lord-level mutated creature. ”

"We're just leaving?" Huang Yaoguang touched Hangcai's arm in disbelief

"What else can you do if you don't leave, can you grab food from the army?" Qian Dakui used his shield to smash a mutant into the air, and spat thick phlegm.

After a hard night's work, when it was about to be harvested, it was robbed of food, and whoever it was replaced was unhappy.
