Chapter 132: So Many Crows

"Teacher, what's wrong with you? Please don't scare us."

A boy stepped forward to support the staggering Professor Hou and asked nervously.

The teacher was fine just now, why did he look so uneasy after talking to that couple?

"Xiao Luo, do you think there will be a rat riot in Guangshi? Will there be a plague? If the plague rages throughout Guangshi, will it become a deserted city?"

Professor Hou couldn't bear to imagine that scene. His face turned pale and his eyes were bloodshot.

Xiao Luo, who was holding Professor Hou, was so scared that his lips trembled slightly, "Teacher, please don't scare me!"

"Ah, lots of rats."

A girl accidentally shone her flashlight at a certain place and was so scared that she screamed.

Several boys were frightened by her. They shone their flashlights at her and gasped.

In that part of the woods, mice piled up densely on top of each other were staring at them.

The look in his eyes was so strange that it sent chills down their spines.

"Hurry, get down the mountain."

Professor Hou patted Xiao Luo's hand and called out to his student.

Without caring about anything else, several students quickly stuffed the dug herbs into their pockets and followed Professor Hou down the mountain.

Professor Hou's car drove into the base, and several people's hands and feet were still weak when they got out of the car.

Several medical scientists in white robes walked out of a house and immediately came forward when they saw Professor Hou.

"Professor Hou, you're back?"

"Professor Hou, what's wrong with you?"

Several people came forward and surrounded Professor Hou. Seeing that he looked unwell, they asked with concern.

"I'm going to see the chief and the base commander."

Professor Hou spoke anxiously.

His body had been weak from the beginning until now, and he hadn't recovered even after returning to the base.

When several medical scientists saw him like this, they hurriedly asked the soldiers guarding nearby to quickly notify others.

Guangzhou base conference room.

The old chief sat upright at the head, below him were the base commander and other senior officials of the base.

"Mr. Hou, what is the matter that makes you inform us so urgently?"

A senior executive asked Professor Hou, who was sitting nearby with an uneasy look, in confusion.

"Commander, something big might happen."

Professor Hou stood up from his seat and looked in the direction of the old leader.

The old leader had sharp eyes and an aura of majesty.

Hearing Professor Hou's panicked voice, he asked in a deep voice, "Old Hou, what happened?"

"Chief, there are countless rats on every mountain now. I'm afraid there will be a rat riot."

Professor Hou took a deep breath and continued.

"Not only that, there may be a plague outbreak."

"In addition to rats, there are also man-eating crows and countless insects in the mountains."

Professor Hou doesn't even know what he is talking about.

He just knew something bad was going to happen.

They don't have much time left, so they must hurry up and deal with everything.

Professor Hou's incoherent words made many people silent and frowned.

"Mr. Hou, did you not sleep well? There are a lot of rats in the mountains recently. As far as I know, many people in the base have gone to catch them. What can go wrong?"

"Yeah, maybe you're making too much of a fuss?"

Several senior executives whispered in retort.

The extreme heat is already annoying enough, and now there is a rat riot.

What are you talking about bugs? What can some broken bugs do?

Professor Hou was so angry at these people that his eyes turned red and he cursed loudly.

"Did you say the same thing before the end of the world?"

"Whether what I said is true or not, we should investigate it. If something goes wrong, who will be responsible?"

"There are tens of millions of people in the entire Province C. Do you think they will all die?"

Professor Hou was so angry that he punched the wooden table and said a lot of words with red eyes.

"Mr. Hou, calm down."

The base commander, who was in his early fifties, put his right hand on Professor Hou's shoulder, signaling him not to get excited.

"How can I stay calm? Time waits for no one, and there are so many lives at stake!"

Old Hou's eyes gradually became moist and his whole body was shaking.

"Lao Hou, I'll send someone to check."

The old chief spoke firmly from the leading position and ordered people to investigate immediately.

The old leader did not dare to be careless.

He knew Professor Hou very well and knew that he would not act recklessly.

The end of the world has come, who knows if there will be a rat riot?

Who knows if those inconspicuous insects will become a disaster?

In any case, he didn't dare to gamble with the lives of the people.

"I also had people check carefully at the base."

The base commander said to the old chief.

He didn't dare to delay and quickly sent people to check everywhere in the base.

That night, countless people saw thousands of soldiers leaving the base.

There are many staff members checking everywhere in the base.

The base broadcast reminded everyone not to eat rats if they found them to avoid accidents.

Everyone heard the broadcast, but few took it to heart.

In their opinion, even if they get sick from eating, it is better than starving to death.

Gu Luan and Jiang Xian stood in front of the window, watching people coming and going in the brightly lit base.

"Rest for a few hours and then we'll get out of here."

Jiang Xian took Gu Luan to rest.

The two were exhausted after a busy day and it was not a good time to travel.

If something really happened at this time, they wouldn't be able to escape anywhere with their speed.

At the gate of the base at night, dozens of headlights illuminate the front.

Many soldiers were on duty at the gate, and some staff were working in the dark.

At this time, several groups of people walked out of the darkness.

They supported each other, as if everyone was injured and in a mess.

"Quick, someone come and rescue us."

Before they reached the gate, these people were frantically calling for help.

The soldier guarding the gate ran up and asked, "What happened?"

"There were so many rats in the nearby mountains. They chased us and bit us like crazy. All of us were bitten by rats."

A man raised his right hand in front of the soldier and said in fear.

"Take them to treatment quickly."

The officer quickly ordered his teammates.

No one dared to delay for fear of catching the plague.

After these people left, another group of people came from a distance.

Like the people before them, they were all bitten by rats and needed emergency treatment.

The officer noticed something was wrong and quickly notified his superiors.

In the work booth, a staff member yawned, stood up and rubbed his tired eyes.

By chance, he saw something flying in the darkness in the distance.

When I looked again, I saw nothing and thought I was dazzled.

No one noticed that there were countless crows standing on the buildings and trees in the distance.

The crows hid very deeply in the darkness and no one could see them.

At six o'clock in the morning, the sky, which should have been bright, was still dark.

Someone frowned and looked up, then was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

At some point, the entire sky was covered by flocks of crows.

They circled in the sky, looking at the ground with cold eyes from time to time, as if waiting for something.

"What is that?"

"Crows. Lots and lots of crows."

The sound of panic spread throughout the base, and everyone who woke up discovered that something was wrong.

At this moment, no one showed a greedy expression because the crow was edible.

They are afraid and terrified.
