When Fu Heng came out of the shower, he saw Ye Yunxi lost in thought. He walked over and sat down next to her, asking her gently.

"Xixi, what are you thinking about? You seem so lost in thought."

Ye Yunxi looked up at Fu Heng and told him about meeting Old Master Lu today and what Old Master Lu had told her.

After listening to what she said, Fu Heng gently comforted Ye Yunxi.

"Don't think about it too much. Your parents are divorced and don't want you anymore, but you still have me. I will always be with you. Grandpa Lu wants you to visit his house, so go when you want to. If you don't want to go, then we won't go."

Ye Yunxi sighed and said, "Let's talk about it after we get to Grandpa Lu's house."

The two stopped thinking about it, and Ye Yunxi took out her tablet and watched a TV series with Fu Heng.

Around 11 p.m., Ye Yunxi put away her tablet and went to sleep with Fu Heng.

A week later, there was still no sign of the mutated rats at the base, and other bases began to slowly lower their guard, no longer as rigorous as they had been at the beginning.

However, three other bases, like the first base, meticulously inspected every part of the base. Any discoveries were reported immediately.

Ye Yunxi, along with Elder Ye and Dr. Hu, developed a medicine that can temporarily withstand the attacks of mutated rats.

Fu Heng and Zhang Haiyi's research center also modified a batch of new weapons.

Ye Yunxi hasn't planted any vegetables in her garden these days because she's worried that the mutated rats will eat the crops she grows. She plans to plant crops again once things have stabilized.

During this time, Chen Zhe was a little bored, so he joined Li Yan's patrol team, patrolling the base every day and observing the situation at any time.

Commander Wu also announced that everyone at the base should check the area around their homes and be given a dagger, knife, machete, or kitchen knife in their sleeping area. This would be so that they would have weapons to defend themselves in case of unexpected mutated rat attacks.

The research yielded limited medicines and weapons, enough only for base soldiers or key personnel.

Most people were sleeping that day. Although it was the midnight sun, the people in the base were used to going to sleep at night.

The mutated rats stealthily approached the base. They went to other bases first, and then frantically scurried around the base, pouncing on and biting anyone they saw.

It only begins to devour the human corpse after biting the person to death.

The person bitten by the mutated rats kept calling for help from those around them. But unfortunately, others were also caught in the same situation, unable to save themselves, let alone others.

Those with weapons fought desperately against the mutated rats, and as soon as they were defeated, more came, an endless stream.

After the mutated rats had their fill, they evacuated the base, leaving behind many wounded and dead.

Upon hearing the news, other bases were terrified, never expecting the mutated rats to be so dangerous. They all quickly deployed their personnel to prepare protective measures.

However, Wu, the commander of the first base, was also very worried, fearing that he would not be able to protect everyone in the base and that humanity would be heading towards death.

But what Commander Wu didn't know was that Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng would later lead people down the path of survival, giving them hope for the future. But that's a story for another time.

After having a hearty meal, the mutated rat found a place to hide so that it wouldn't be discovered.

Two days later, the mutated rats headed to the first base, arranged by the mysterious person.

The mutated rats arrived near the first base, but the entrance was guarded, so they couldn't get in.

The mysterious man searched around but couldn't find a breakthrough, so he took out a few bombs from his spatial storage, placed them in an inconspicuous spot, moved a little away, and pressed a button. The bombs exploded instantly, one after another.

Upon hearing the commotion, the base commander immediately sent men to investigate what was happening.

After the wall was blown up, the mutated rats went into the base.

The people who were sleeping were jolted awake by the explosion and wanted to see what was happening. What they saw mutated rats terrified them, and they rushed back to get their weapons. Those who couldn't get back in time were being frantically bitten by the mutated rats.

Ye Yunxi, Fu Heng, and Xuan Yu were immediately awakened by the explosion. Unsure what had happened, they quickly changed their clothes, grabbed their weapons, and headed outside.

They saw some mutated rats enter the base. Without saying a word, the three men raised their pistols and fired at the mutated rats.

The mutated rats that had been shot all collapsed and could not get up.

"Fight the mutated rats while rescuing people," Fu Heng shouted to those who were lightly injured.

"Those who have been rescued should hurry home to get their weapons and come out together to fight the mutated rats."

Soon, the mutated rats in the villa area were almost completely wiped out, and the rest were handed over to others.

Ye Yunxi, Fu Heng, and Xuan Yu went together to find Gu Qingqing and Zhang Haiyi.

They went by car. Ye Yunxi and Xuan Yu were responsible for opening the windows and firing, while Fu Heng drove along, running over and killing some mutated rats. Some rats even chased after Fu Heng and his car.

The three of them drove halfway there and saw Chen Zhe, Zhang Jing, Gu Qingqing, Zhang Haiyi and others fighting against the mutated rats.

Fu Heng parked the car, and Ye Yunxi, Xuan Yu, and Fu Heng got out together to help Chen Zhe and the others.

When Chen Zhe and the others saw Ye Yunxi and the others arrive, they started swatting rats while shouting for them.

"Sister Yunxi, Brother Fuheng, Xuanyu, what brings you here?"

Xuan Yu said this while fighting off the mutated rats.

"We've almost finished dealing with things on our end, and now we're here to help you."

Chen Zhe kicked away the mutated rat that pounced on him and said to Xuan Yu with a smile.

"Good brother, let's wipe out this group of mutated rats together."

Upon hearing Chen Zhe's words, Xuan Yu became playful and said with a smile.
