The rustling sound did not come from one direction.
It's everywhere.
It felt like thousands of sharp nails were scratching the concrete floor, so densely that it made one's scalp tingle.
"Something's wrong." A'mo gripped the gun tighter.
"squeak--!"
A sharp and piercing cry, like a signal.
The next second, countless pairs of scarlet eyes suddenly lit up under the shadows of the collapsed shelves, in the broken pipes on the ceiling, and in the holes in the corners of the wall!
It's not just dozens of them, it's tens of thousands of mutant rats!
They gathered into a black torrent, making teeth-grinding squeaking sounds, and rushed frantically towards the four people in the center of the supermarket!
"Damn it! We've disturbed the rat's nest!" Xiao Han's face changed drastically, "No, we are in the rat's nest now!"
Without thinking, he waved his hands and several sharp wind blades cut towards the rat tide in the front!
Puff puff puff!
Wherever the wind blade passed, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and more than a dozen mutant rats were cut into pieces.
But the tide of rats behind them did not stop at all, and continued to surge forward, stepping on the corpses of their companions, fearless of death!
Lu Shiyan's face was cold, and he threw fireballs from his palm one by one.
In this enclosed underground space, a thunderstorm that was too strong could easily cause the structure to collapse and bury them alive.
A'mo and Su Wan picked up their submachine guns and started firing.
But there are too many rats!
Endless tides, one wave after another.
The fishy smell mixed with the smell of blood was suffocating.
"No! There are too many! Rush out!" Lu Shiyan growled.
The four of them stood back to back, forming a defensive circle, and began to slowly move towards the stairs.
Although these mutant rats are small in size, they are extremely cunning.
Just as Xiao Han used a whirlwind to drive back a large group of rats in front of him, several particularly large mutant rats silently jumped out from under an overturned freezer.
It was like a black lightning that bypassed everyone's attention and headed straight for Su Wan in the center of the defense circle!
"Be careful!" Xiao Han was so frightened that his soul left his body. He wanted to return to defend but it was too late!
Lu Shiyan turned around suddenly, but there was still a surging tide of rats between him and Su Wan!
Su Wan's pupils clearly reflected the pair of sharp fangs that were getting closer and closer, flashing with cold light.
At the critical moment, Su Wan's figure disappeared out of thin air. She fell down on the familiar grass in the space, her heart beating wildly, and the smelly breath of the mutant rat seemed to still linger on her face.
Through the one-way vision of the space, the desperate situation of the three people outside was clearly reflected in her eyes, and her heart tightened instantly: What should they do...
"Too many! We can't go on like this! We're running out of bullets!"
Xiao Han kicked one away, then used a wind blade to cut several more that were diving down from the top of the shelf in half, his tone already filled with anxiety.
The wound on his arm was still oozing blood. The intense consumption of his supernatural powers made it difficult for him to breathe, and his vision became somewhat dark.
Lu Shiyan's face was as gloomy as water.
The lightning and flames in his palms jumped restrainedly, and each attack accurately harvested a small group of rats.
But compared to this endless black tide, it is just a drop in the bucket.
Sweat broke out on his forehead, his breathing became more rapid, and the excessive consumption of his supernatural powers made him feel dizzy.
In this confined underground space, large-scale seas of fire and grenades cannot be used as they will detonate combustible materials and cause collapse.
The rats stepped on the charred corpses of their companions, one after another, in a frenzy that was heart-wrenching.
The stench and smell of blood mixed together, almost freezing the air.
In the space, Su Wan's heart was beating wildly.
She could see everything outside clearly.
Seeing a deep cut on Xiao Han's arm, blood instantly dyed his sleeves red, and he had difficulty breathing; seeing Ah Mo's steady movements start to become hurried, and fish that slipped through the net kept rushing past; and seeing Lu Shiyan...
In order to protect the other two, he almost attracted most of the rat tide towards himself.
Fine snakes of electricity and tongues of fire intertwined into a web around him, but he was clearly in a state of overdraft.
They were trapped.
If this continues, the three of them will be exhausted to death here.
She couldn't just watch them die.
A familiar yet unfamiliar force once again surged out from the depths of his blood, clearer and more powerful than ever before.
The next moment, Su Wan's figure appeared out of nowhere in the center of the battle circle.
"Su Wan?!"
"You're fucking crazy! Go back now!"
Lu Shiyan and Xiao Han roared at the same time.
A dozen mutant rats closest to her pounced on her at the same time!
Lu Shiyan's eyes were bloodshot and he wanted to rush forward desperately, but he was entangled by the tide of rats in front of him.
At this critical moment, a strange scene happened.
Those mutant rats that pounced to within one meter of Su Wan seemed to have hit an invisible wall.
The body paused strangely in mid-air, and then the whole body was bounced away by the invisible barrier!
Space barrier!
This is another form of her spatial ability, an ultimate defense!
"Fuck..." Xiao Han was stunned and forgot to throw the wind blade in his hand. "What...what is this? Golden Bell Cover?"
"Stand still!"
There was a barely perceptible tremor in Su Wan's voice.
She clenched her teeth and beads of sweat oozed out of her forehead. This extreme defense took a huge toll on her.
Driven by her thoughts, the space barrier suddenly expanded outward!
"Go! I can't hold on for much longer!" Su Wan's face had begun to turn pale.
Lu Shiyan originally wanted to put her back into that safe space!
But when he saw Su Wan's pale face and shaky body, all his anger got stuck in his throat.
This fool! She has no idea what she is doing!
"Retreat!" Lu Shiyan supported her shaky body with one hand, and released his wood-related supernatural power with his other hand, frantically clearing out the rats outside the barrier to reduce obstacles to their advance!
Start to break out towards the stairs with difficulty!
The tide of rats chased after them like crazy, constantly hitting the invisible barrier, making teeth-grinding "bang bang" sounds.
With every impact, Su Wan's body would tremble slightly.
Finally, they rushed out of the supermarket, out of the dark building, and back to the empty parking lot outside.
The moment he saw the light of day again, Su Wan staggered and almost fell to his knees.
The invisible barrier around her also disappeared in an instant like broken glass as her energy was exhausted.
Without the barrier, the relentless tide of rats let out shrill screams and surged up again like a tide!
"Damn it! It never ends!"
Su Wan raised his hand, and the next second, a cold and heavy metal collision sound suddenly exploded in the open space!
Crash——!
Two mounted heavy machine guns, boxes of yellow bullet chains, four or five brand new assault rifles and submachine guns, and even two black individual rocket launchers appeared out of thin air in front of everyone!
"What are you still standing there for!"
Lu Shiyan grabbed the handle of a heavy machine gun, pulled the bolt, and pointed the muzzle directly at the black tide!
A'mo rushed over immediately, while Xiao Han covered his bleeding arm with one hand, gritted his teeth, and used his other hand to tightly grasp the handle of the heavy machine gun, putting all his body weight on it.
Dadadadada——!
boom!
The violent tongues of fire instantly tore through the air!
The metal storm composed of bullets and rockets poured into the rat group with a crushing posture!
The rat tide that had just made them run for their lives and almost fall into despair, became as fragile as paper under the absolute firepower coverage.
Large groups of mutant rats were torn into pieces, and the flesh, blood and soil were blown into the air by the blast and then fell like rain.
This was no longer a battle, but a one-sided massacre.
In just a few minutes, the surging black tide was almost wiped out. The few remaining ones were already frightened out of their wits. They squeaked in fear and fled in all directions without looking back.
Su Wan's face suddenly changed and she covered her stomach.
"What's wrong?" Lu Shiyan noticed her abnormality at the first moment and asked nervously.
Su Wan's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and her face became even paler. She clutched her lower abdomen tightly, her brows furrowed, as if she was enduring great pain.
"My stomach... my stomach hurts a little..." she said intermittently, her voice trembling slightly.
