Five years into the apocalypse, Zhuang Mingxu, the strongest ability user in the safe zone, was killed by his so-called “family.”
Lu Weiyi, who had been indifferent to everything for over...
Chapter 180 Rat King
"Yeah," Xi Shi nodded, patted Xiong Jie's arm who was holding him tightly, and whispered, "It's okay."
The people outside had already started to clean up the mutant rat corpses. Apart from anything else, there was a lot of meat. Antonio was worried that Dean would be frightened and have psychological trauma, so he teased him, "Dean, mutant rat meat, do you want to eat it?"
"Eat" Dean cooperated very well, even though he was just an ordinary person and could only taste the mutant animal meat at most.
"Eat meat, eat meat," Ning Yuan echoed, collecting all the dead rats together. "The meat that's delivered to our door can be replenished." After saying that, he remembered that Lu Weiyi's space was full, and asked with a distressed look on his face, "How about throwing away some of the useless things that take up space in your space?"
"Just get a car out," Lu Weiyi said, and threw an off-road vehicle and a truck outside. "Pack up your things, we won't sleep anymore, let's go."
When it comes to mutated animals, lone wolves are not scary; what is scary is when they appear in groups. When you can’t even tell how many there are, that’s when you need to run for your life.
The others didn't ask the reason and quickly packed up their things. Lu Weiyi went into the space, placed Zhuang Mingxu on the off-road vehicle, got into the driving seat himself, threw a few guns to a few ordinary people and said, "Lu Xi, Ai Yixi Ge, Dean and Damu Ge will follow you. When you can't win, put up a mental barrier to block for a while. The others will go to rescue as soon as possible."
"Got it, brother." Lu Xi led them onto the truck. The remaining seats were divided among several B-level psychics, and the group quickly drove out of the yard.
"Is there anything going on?" Wu Yue, the truck driver following behind, asked Lu Weiyi while holding the walkie-talkie.
"No, nothing." It was not unusual to see nothing in the middle of the night, but the rats that had been coming incessantly just now were retreating like a tide without a single one left, which was terrifying.
Lu Weiyi took a few long-range outdoor lights and placed them under the windshield, illuminating the surroundings. Even so, he still could not see any living creatures. I tried to probe with my mental power, but found nothing.
Li Zhuang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, gave directions while Lu Weiyi drove quickly out of the village.
After a while, Wu Yue's exclamation came from the intercom, "A large group of them is chasing us."
"We are surrounded." Li Zhuang's voice became much calmer.
The little green branch has already sensed that countless mutant rats are coming towards them in front. The left and right sides are no longer within Lu Weiyi's mental power range. He is now at the peak of level B. He has tried to measure the range of his mental power, which is probably more than four hundred but less than five hundred.
The range of the little green branch is now more than 800, plus the visual range, the mutant rat is estimated to be about one thousand meters away from them. According to their movement speed, one thousand meters is just a matter of a few minutes.
While he was thinking, the rats from all directions had entered the detection range. Everyone in the car had tacitly started to use their superpowers to attack. It was a black mass that seemed to have no end in the dark night. No one knew how many there were.
"Build walls on both sides of the earth and ice elements, don't let the mutant rats get close, and the rest of you will deal with the ones that slip through the net," Lu Weiyi ordered, swinging the small green branch in front of him vigorously. The mutant rats on the ground layer were suddenly hit and flew to both sides. The ones that slipped through the net were crushed to death by speeding cars or killed by Antonio's flying knives.
Ice walls, water walls and earth walls appeared continuously on both sides of the car body, blocking the mutant rats from approaching. Mutant rats approached the car at alternate moments, but were nailed to the spot by various superpowers. As for the mutant rats that followed behind the car, they were burned by Liu Rui's fire dragon.
"Damn, is this thing never going to end?" Ning Yuan saw another ice wall appear, followed by the crunching sound of mutant rats gnawing at it. He took the opportunity to glance behind the car and saw a group of people being burned to death by Liu Rui, and then another group of people leaped over fearlessly, stepping on the corpses of the previous group. The fat rats could actually jump up to two meters high. If there were no guardrails in the car, Ning Yuan felt that they might be able to jump up.
In the car, Lu Xi, Dean and Lin Yimu all helped with guns. Xi Shi held Zhuang Aiyi tightly in his arms and sat as close to Lu Xi as possible to make sure he could protect them if anything happened. There were people standing in a circle around him, and for a moment, everyone was silent and focused on the outside.
"I...I...I saw it..." Liu Rui, who had been guarding the back of the truck, suddenly spoke, but couldn't explain it clearly for a long time. He was so anxious that he could only pat Xu Sa beside him and point to the distance.
"A...huge rat." Xu Sa looked at the rat as tall as a child a little further away, and stuttered in shock. "It's about one meter tall, with red eyes. He...shit..." Xu Sa looked at the fireball flying towards them and directly collided with Liu Rui's fire dragon, even suppressing the fire dragon's posture and flying towards them again. "It's a fire type, stronger than Liu Rui..."
Liu Rui hurriedly condensed a fireball again and rushed towards the flying fireball. The two collided and fell to the ground, burning several mutant mice and making them squeak.
"It's coming over here, running very fast and jumping very high." Xu Sa live broadcasted the video, leaving everyone else speechless.
Lu Weiyi, who was in front, could see such a big rat through the rearview mirror at a glance. It could jump at least two or three meters. In addition, the mutant rat in front showed no sign of retreating, so it seemed that it was not going to let them leave. He said, "I'm going to kill it, you drive as forward as possible."
"Xiaoyi" Zhuang Mingxu shouted from the back seat.
"It's okay. If I can't kill you, at least I can buy you some time. I can escape by myself," Lu Weiyi said as he opened the car door and jumped out without slowing down. As the car moved forward due to inertia, Li Zhuang quickly moved to the driver's seat and said, "Be careful" when Lu Weiyi stood still.
At the same time, he said on the intercom, "Liu Rui, Xu Sa, Antonio go cover Lu Weiyi."
"I went," Lu Xi replied in the carriage.
Antonio jumped out of the car nimbly and stood not far from Lu Weiyi. Xu Sa and Liu Rui were much more clumsy. After jumping, they were hit by the speed of the car and fell into the pile of mutant rats. If Xu Sa hadn't used his lightning ability right after that and electrocuted all the mutant rats to death, they would have turned into bones before they could protect themselves.
Lu Weiyi originally wanted to hold up the mental barrier and go directly to get rid of the mutant rat that looked like the leader, but he didn't expect the three men to move so quickly that the car had already driven away. He couldn't go back at this point and could only say, "You three stop the mutant rats, I'll go deal with the big one."
As they were talking, the leading rat had already jumped over. In terms of size, it was indeed not big, less than a few people's thighs high. But when the opponent was a rat, the impact was quite big, especially the teeth exposed from its open mouth were as thick as an adult's fingers, and the nails on its feet, which were the size of a child's palm, were shining coldly. Lu Weiyi controlled the small green branch and whipped it up.
"Use your supernatural powers on your eyes." The four people were moving, and the light would shake no matter who they were, which was actually bad for their vision. Seeing the four people using their supernatural powers like blind cats, Lu Weiyi gave instructions.
The few people who were fighting hard in the dim light from the rear lights of the car suddenly felt their eyes brighten. Although the vision was not as clear as during the day, they were not fighting blindly. The three of them divided the work and formed a circle with the leader mouse and Lu Weiyi as the center to stop the little mice from continuing to rush over.
Li Zhuang asked the three of them to help because the offensive power of their abilities were extremely strong. Although Xu Sa was not at level B, his lightning ability was extremely powerful against any living creature.
The three of them lived up to expectations and guarded the three directions tightly, so that no little mouse could cross the line and jump into the range of Lu Weiyi and the leading mouse.
In the center circle, the leading rat can only shoot one fireball at a time, but the heat of the fireball can directly burn a person to ashes. Lu Weiyi feels that this is a bit like the fireball compressed by Liu Rui. The small green branch in his hand is of wood attribute after all, and has an instinctive fear of fire. Lu Weiyi can only assist.
When the leader rat tried to get close with a knife in its hand, it kept jumping to avoid it. He had no choice but to continuously fire out mental blades. However, the leader rat reacted very quickly, and after continuous jumping, only a few of the mental blades could barely pierce the skin, and did not pose much threat.
"Lu Xiaoyi, my superpowers are almost overdrawn." Xu Sa had the lowest superpowers and seemed to be unable to hold on any longer.
With the three of them as the center, the mutant rat corpses have piled up to half a person's height, and rats are still constantly coming from afar to support them by climbing onto the pile of mutant rat corpses. The two people are in a better situation than him, but they probably can't hold on for long.
"Got it." Lu Weiyi took the time to look around. They couldn't leave anymore. If the three of them overdrew their abilities, they would become food for the rats.
Lu Weiyi instantly withdrew all his mental power, stared at the position of the leading rat, and trapped it with a mental barrier. At the moment, an invisible mental attack entered the leading rat's brain. The leading rat was stunned for a moment, and a machete imbued with supernatural powers swung it fiercely. The rat's head as big as a basketball fell to the ground, and a stream of blood rushed into the sky.
Lu Weiyi's supernatural power is now at the peak of Class B, and can only slightly affect living things in the outside world, and only those with a lower level than him. Just now, he directly controlled the leader rat for a moment, especially since the leader rat's level was not even Class A, it should be at the peak of Class B. This made his supernatural power directly overdrawn, and at the moment the leader rat died, he also fell to the ground.
The mutant rats everywhere seemed to have been paused. They paused for an instant. After a moment, they all retreated with a rustling sound and disappeared in an instant.
Xu Sa panted and sat on the ground. Liu Rui was covered in bruises, but he went to check his injuries first. Antonio looked around vigilantly and retreated to Lu Weiyi's side. He saw that his clothes were all burned by fire. His beautiful hair was also slightly curled and smelled of burning. He looked disheveled and did not look as delicate and powerful as before. "How are you?"
