Chapter 30: The Mutant Rat

On the provincial road more than ten meters wide, three small faces carefully avoided the scrapped vehicles on the road, even if there were sparrows in the sky to reconnoitre, Liu Cheng did not dare to be careless, after all, unless the sparrows deliberately investigated every building and every dark place, otherwise it was impossible to find those monsters hidden in the shadows in a large-scale reconnaissance state.

The small street of Anning was cleaned up yesterday, and at this time it was relatively deserted, with nothing but the rubbish street swept up by the wind. However, when the convoy marched to the grain and oil station, Liu Cheng felt something different, if he insisted on saying it, it was a lifeless feeling.

Stopping the car on the side of the road, Liu Cheng found that the gate of the grain and oil station was closed at this time, apparently the survivors here locked the gate from the inside after his group left yesterday. The survivors locked themselves in a relatively safe space to avoid attacks from monsters from the outside world, which was a normal thing in the last days, and Liu Cheng had encountered it many times before. But this time it was different, Liu Cheng always felt that something was wrong, as if there was no longer a feeling of a living person behind this door, so he stopped to check.

Standing in front of the door and thinking for thirty seconds, Liu Cheng decisively slashed at the closed gate, and the metal door was easily broken open without making any noise under the flames. By the light of the fire, Liu Cheng found that the house was in a mess, as if it had been ransacked, which was very different from what he saw yesterday. While seeing the scene in the house, Liu Cheng's nerves tensed again, guarding against possible attacks in the house at any time, but he stood at the door for a while but there was no movement. Just as Liu Cheng was about to enter the room, Zhan Hai, one of the twin brothers, stood up: "Leave the matter of pathfinding to us." ”

After Zhan Hai finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and touched the ground, and the concrete floor softened like cream preheating, and then a rock monkey of up and down a meter jumped out of it, leaving a small pothole on the ground. The stone monkey took the lead in entering the house under the command of Zhanhai, and seeing that there was nothing abnormal, Liu Cheng and the others entered the house one after another, leaving only Sun Hao, Yang Cheng, Cheng Chen and Li Jinyuan to stay outside.

"There is no food stored here, and there are huge bite marks in many places, but what can be so big?" For the grain and oil station here, Ye Lei couldn't be clearer.

"Everyone be careful, always ready to fight." With a word of advice, Liu Cheng motioned for Zhanhai to continue, and the stone monkey continued to explore the depths of the room under his command, bypassing the messy piles. Compared to the house in the city, the house in the countryside is more like a small villa, with a small yard inside, and when everyone enters this courtyard, they are stunned by the scene inside.

The courtyard of more than ten square meters was full of tattered pieces of cloth and mixed with broken bones on the ground, which made everyone nervous for the first time. No one cares where these broken bones come from, what kind of creatures they come from, because they dare not imagine it. Everyone's nerves are tense, and as long as there is any wind and grass, it cannot escape the observation of everyone.

Compared with everyone's nervousness, Liu Cheng had to relax a lot, and he had already roughly guessed something in combination with the scene of the grain and oil station. Obviously, last night's torrential rain caused the survivors here to lose their lives, and the biggest possibility is that the rat colony that used to live under the grain and oil station has mutated and become violent and bloodthirsty, so the whole grain and oil station has become their nest, and the broken bones are the best proof of this. Fortunately, the rain did not stop last night, otherwise everyone would have seen a bloody hell at this time.

His eyes kept scanning all corners, and finally Liu Cheng found a basin-sized cave in a corner of the courtyard, and there was a circle of fresh earth around the cave, this cave was newly appeared. Just when Liu Cheng was about to go over to check, there was a slight vibration under his feet, and before everyone could react, several holes were broken in the ground, and rats the size of domestic cats screamed and drilled out, and there were as many as nine of them.

These things just smell people's breath, so they pounce directly on them as soon as they appear. It's true that several of the people here are evolutionaries, but they are a group of rookies. The sudden change made many people stunned and didn't know what to do on the spot. Fortunately, Liu Cheng and Ye Lei had combat experience, and they blocked the mutant rats that rushed in front of them as soon as possible.

"Use your abilities and fight! Kill these mutated creatures! With a single sword, the fastest rushing mutant rat was killed, and Liu Cheng reminded the others. Liu Cheng was not dissatisfied with everyone's performance, everyone was an authentic honest person before, many people had never even fought, some people may have fought with xenos in order to survive before, but there were too few opportunities like that, and they did not form the instinct to fight.

In addition to Cai Lianxue, Ye Lei, and Liu Shanlin, who were slightly slower than Liu Cheng, at this time, under Liu Cheng's reminder, Sien and Zhanhai Zhancheng also took action, and each used their own abilities to attack the mutant rats. The level of these mutant rats is not high, only the level of the second order, plus the number is not much, just a look at the face can be eliminated. However, this did not make Liu Cheng breathe a sigh of relief, but felt a greater crisis: "Get out of here, right away!" ”

Liu Cheng's feeling was right, after killing these mutant mice, everyone seemed to have stabbed a hornet's nest, and the ground of the yard kept tumbling, and more mutant rats poured out, and the black pressure was overwhelming. These newly gushing mutant rats directly devoured their dead companions, and then drowned Liu Cheng and the others with red eyes. Fortunately, everyone had already retreated from the courtyard at this time, otherwise it would be unimaginable to be surrounded by these mutant rats in such a narrow place.

On the road outside the grain and oil station, Liu Cheng and the others retreated to the middle of the road, standing on the concrete pavement to give everyone a sense of solidity, such a ground can at least minimize the chance of mutant mice drilling directly from under their feet.

Looking at the dense swarm of rats emerging from the grain and oil station, everyone's scalp was a little numb. Don't say that these mice have mutated, all of them are the size of domestic cats, they are ordinary mice in the past, and the number of them is uncomfortable. After the rats rushed out of the grain and oil station, they launched an attack as soon as possible, Liu Cheng and the others did not dare to slack off, and at the same time released the strongest attack, for a while ice and fire were intertwined, and there was thunder and light, the scene could be described as huge, but the effect received was not ideal.

Many of the people here are using their abilities for the first time, and even if they have read the information given by Liu Cheng before leaving, that can't change the current affairs that they have a sparse grasp of their abilities. In addition, there is no cooperation, resulting in the duplication of attack targets, and even attacks with different attributes cancel each other. The first wave of attacks only slowed down the momentum of the rat colony, and only a few were actually killed.

"Sun Hao builds a wall of fire in front of the rat group, Yang Cheng, Cai Lianxue, and Liu Shanlin are responsible for the frontal attack, Zhanhai Zhancheng is responsible for the left and right wings, the stone monkey is on top, Sien Li Jiyuan is responsible for the fish that slips through the net, Ye Lei pays attention to close protection, and Chen Chen assists in the center." Seeing that everyone's attacks were messy, Liu Cheng immediately made adjustments and gave everyone specific combat missions. For a while, the formation was opened, and everyone looked good, successfully stopping the impact of the rat swarm, and even effectively killing and injuring a large number of mutant rats.

As the strongest force, Liu Cheng did not make a move, one of the purposes of coming out today is to train this group of new evolutionaries, although there are many rats, but fortunately, the level is not high, and it is suitable for everyone to practice. The impact of the rat swarm lasted for more than ten minutes, and everyone quickly became well-founded from the beginning of the hurry, even if there were mutant rats breaking through the defense line and getting close, there were also two combat forces of Ye Lei and Li Jinyuan to support them, so that everyone could feel at ease. In the end, even the rats were unable to break through the frontal defense line of Sun Hao's four people, and began to choose to outflank them from the side, but what awaited them was only a more aggressive attack.

Liu Cheng felt very satisfied with this, whether it was because everyone had a talent for fighting, or whether it was forced out in the face of life and death, in short, this was a big improvement. You can't expect a bunch of people from the countryside to be as good as a soldier.

The battle came suddenly, and the end was very fast, and in the end, the rats left dozens of corpses and retreated, did not return to the grain and oil station, and retreated into the wilderness. Seeing that there was no danger, a few new evolutionaries who had good combat power just now were already sitting on the ground. I didn't feel it when I was in a nervous state just now, but now I feel soreness and weakness, and Liu Cheng knew that it was caused by too much ability consumption. After all, it is the first time to face, everyone's control of their own ability and energy is not hot, and they often don't know how to control how to save physical strength.

Urging everyone to return to the car, Liu Cheng had no intention of staying here, because through the detection of the sparrow, the battle just now had attracted the aliens in the distance, and they were gathering here. And this is also a characteristic of the countryside, people live very scattered, you clean up this area of xenomorphs today, you may not know where to gather a group tomorrow, of course, the number will not be too much.

The three small trucks quickly left the grain and oil station, and Liu Cheng decided to move forward for a distance and find a place for everyone to rest, by the way, to replenish his physical strength, and also to conduct a self-reflection summary of the battle just now.
