Chapter 318: Encounter with a Swarm of Rats

ps: Today is New Year's Eve, happy New Year to everyone! I wish the new year will be better than the old one!

After rolling the cylinder aside, several people got on the car and took off their masks and protective clothing as usual and disinfected their bodies.

He also sprayed the two steel knives, crossbow and crossbow arrows he had picked up with disinfectant and then placed them on the ground.

Eight people were just dealt with and no one expressed any opinions. Those people deserved to die and do not deserve any sympathy.

Han Ying and Lu Yuan returned to the front of the car, and Lei Minghu and the others also returned to the booth area.

Lin Ting was studying the crossbow and its arrows.

It looks a bit rough, probably made by myself, I wonder how powerful it is.

Lin Ting wanted to give it a try, but this crossbow belonged to everyone and it was not easy for her to take it for herself.

"Han Ying and the others won't mind. If you don't believe me, you can ask."

Qin Qinghai saw that Lin Ting seemed to want the crossbow very much, but was embarrassed.

He naturally knew what Lin Ting was struggling with.

"Then I'll go ask?"

Lin Ting glanced towards the front of the car, asked Han Ying, and then asked Lei Minghu and the others.

"Um, Han Ying, this crossbow..."

Before Lin Ting finished speaking, she was interrupted by Han Ying, "Lu Yuan and I don't need it, you can ask Brother Lei and the others."

Everyone has a share, so Han Ying couldn't just guarantee that it would be given to Lin Ting.

"OK, thanks."

Although Lin Ting was a neighbor of Han Ying and others at first, they were only neighbors for a few days.

They don't communicate much with each other, but they have more interactions with Lei Minghu and Qin Qinghai's families.

So even though she also wanted to play with the gun, she knew that the gun belonged to Han Ying and Lu Yuan, so she was too embarrassed to ask if they could lend her one.

Lin Ting happily came to Lei Minghu and the others with a crossbow. Before she could speak, she heard Lei Minghu say, "We already have the crossbow. You can keep it."

"Thank you, I'll stay then?"

The power of the bow and crossbow is still very good. If she practices well, she will be able to attack both long-range and close combat.

"But I see that those crossbow arrows are made of wood, so they don't work well. If I have a chance to find bamboo, I'll teach you how to make them."

Lei Minghu picked up a crossbow arrow. It was quite rough, but the arrowhead was made of iron, so it could still be lethal if the aim was good.

Han Ying had previously given them a crossbow and 50 crossbow arrows.

There was a period of time when they went out frequently at the base. Lei Minghu found a lot of bamboo and made some crossbows himself.

The crossbow arrows he made himself were not as powerful as the ones given by Han Ying, but crossbow arrows were consumables, and less powerful ones were better than none at all.

The RV continued to move forward, and there were a lot of piles of debris on the side of the road.

You can vaguely see a corpse that has been rotted beyond recognition. There are swarms of mosquitoes surrounding the corpse, which looks extremely disgusting.

Rats were also crawling all over the floor, and where they had crawled you could faintly see a greasy mark.

When the car lights shone on the mice's eyes, Han Ying saw that their eyes were faintly flashing red.

Such rats are very scary, and they come in groups.

A group of rats like this could probably finish eating a corpse in less than a minute.

Woof woof!

Tangyuan barked twice toward the front, and Han Ying climbed up to the skylight as usual and looked forward with a night vision telescope.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Han Ying suddenly felt a tingling sensation on her scalp.

About two hundred meters in front of the RV, a group of red-eyed rats were running towards them.

The mouse was very fast, so Han Ying immediately stepped back and quickly closed the skylight.

"There's a swarm of rats ahead, Lu Yuan, blast your gun!"

To deal with rat infestation, the most useful weapon is not a gun or a machete, but a musket with range attack.

Han Ying had long known that there would be a rat plague after the end of the world, so she specifically requested that a flamethrower be installed on the bottom of the RV.

Han Ying also has a lot of fuel for the RV's flamethrower, which is gasoline plus oil gelling agent.

Before leaving, she and Lu Yuan had already made preparations.

Hearing Han Ying's words, Lu Yuan immediately pressed a button, and suddenly three gaps opened at the bottom of the RV, and the jet nozzle of the flame gun was directly exposed.

Beams of yellow-orange flames spurted out from the nozzles.

The rats in front were moving very fast and arrived in front of the RV in just a few seconds.

Lu Yuan didn't stop the car and just ran over the rats.

When the rats saw the obstacles, some of them jumped directly from the ground and then jumped onto the RV.

Lu Yuan turned the powerful wipers to maximum speed.

The mice that jumped onto the windshield were swept out one by one.

However, only a few mice jumped onto the RV; most of them just ran forward.

The RV was very heavy, and the rats that were run over by its eight big wheels were crushed into meat paste with a "pop" sound, and blood splattered everywhere.

Wherever the RV passed, the ground was covered with blood and flesh, as well as rat corpses with a burnt smell.

When the other people in the car saw the rats constantly jumping onto the RV, they all showed expressions of horror on their faces.

One rat is not scary, but there are at least tens of thousands of rats in front of you.

Many rats even climbed up the skylight and lay on the side windows.

The window glass was almost completely occupied by rats, and their sharp claws were scratching the glass desperately, as if the rats were about to break in through the window at any moment.

The disgusting body was still covered in a layer of corpse oil, which stained the entire RV.

Lin Yang and Lei Yuhang were both wearing protective clothing and masks, and holding a small dagger tightly in their hands.

The others also held weapons and were ready to fight at any time.

Although the possibility is small, if the rats really run into the car, they will be able to deal with it immediately.

The people behind were extremely nervous, but Han Ying and Lu Yuan remained calm.

Han Ying knew the quality of this car better than anyone else. Not to mention the mice, even Tangyuan's claws couldn't scratch it.

The chirping and screaming sounds of rats came from outside, although they were isolated by the RV and became very quiet.

But the voice seemed to be right next to my ear, making my scalp tingle.

Everyone in the car, including Han Ying and Lu Yuan, absolutely did not want to hear it a second time.

The flamethrower continuously sprayed flames downwards.

The flames from the jet gun that uses gasoline and oil gelling agent can continue to burn until the gasoline attached to the rats is burned out.

That is to say, the flame sprayed on the mouse can continue to burn other mice nearby.

The road surface was almost covered by the rats, and the original road conditions could not be seen at all.

So Lu Yuan drove the car very slowly to ensure safety while burning more rats to death.

This place is not far from the base, only a few dozen kilometers. If the rat swarm really wants to get there, it will probably only take an hour or two.

How will the base deal with such a large swarm of rats?

So since they have encountered this, the more they can burn, the better.
