Chapter 50 Savior Mimi
Upon hearing this, Chen Yunfei became even more anxious. "So, are we just supposed to sit here and wait to die?"
Qin Zhuo's eyes were calm and deep, like a bottomless pool, revealing a composure beyond his years. He analyzed clearly and logically, "The protective shield can still hold for a while. Let's all think of a solution together."
"I'll use up as many mutated rats as I can now to buy us some time. Maybe things will turn around in the next second."
Time passed by, second by second.
Twenty or thirty minutes later, Yu Xiang's face turned pale. "Oh no, my power is running out! The protective shield is cracking and can't hold on much longer!"
The words had barely left his mouth when a crisp "snap" was heard.
The entire protective shield shattered instantly, like glass struck by a heavy hammer, sending water splashing everywhere.
"Earthen wall!"
Chen Yunfei reacted extremely quickly, slamming his hands onto the ground the instant the protective shield shattered.
In an instant, earthen walls rose from the ground on all four sides, like a sturdy brown fortress, surrounding everyone.
Yu Xiang patted her chest, breathed a long sigh of relief, and her little face showed the relief of surviving a disaster.
She said with lingering fear, "I thought we were going to die. Thank goodness."
Qin Zhuo's eyes revealed deep worry as he said helplessly, "This is just a temporary measure. We're just wasting time. We still haven't found a fundamental solution. We need to think of something. We can't just keep waiting like this."
Chen Yunfei sensed the situation at the earthen wall and shouted, "Those mutated rats are climbing up; they're trying to get over the wall!"
Qiao Yan: "The top is sealed off too, so they can't get in."
Chen Yunfei focused his mind again, pushed his hands upwards with force, and the veins on his face bulged.
An earthen wall rapidly formed overhead.
"Chirp chirp~"
At this moment, the shrill cries of the mutated rats came from outside, the sounds like needles piercing straight into people's ears, causing them pain.
Yuka covered her ears in annoyance and said irritably, "These mutant rats are so noisy, I hate them so much."
She's going to die from them! Waaah, she hasn't lived enough yet.
That's not right, she's already dead.
Waaah, dying again, that's so awful! ^
But do these mutated rats eat zombies?
"Meow—"
Just as Yuka was lost in thought, a loud meow suddenly rang out.
Wow—so much food!
Mimi appeared outside the earthen wall with a huge, dead, mutated rat in her mouth.
This mutated rat was a size larger than the others, its round body resembling a ball, and it seemed to be the king of these mutated rats.
Mimi put down the mutated rat in her mouth and, like a black lightning bolt, excitedly howled as she charged towards the swarm of rats.
Its eyes gleamed, showing no concern for whether it could defeat so many mutated rats; its eyes were filled with a longing for food.
Food, lots of food, all for me.
The mutated rats, perhaps stupid, scattered and fled in terror upon seeing their leader dead, driven by their innate biological instincts.
They never considered that they outnumbered Mimi the cat and had nothing to fear. They swarmed around like headless flies, creating a chaotic and comical scene.
Inside the earthen wall.
Yuka's eyes lit up instantly when she heard that familiar meow, and she jumped up and down excitedly, "It's Mimi, Mimi's here!"
As if he had just thought of something, Chen Yunfei said, "Cats are experts at catching mice, so we're saved! Maybe if Mimi makes a move, these mutated mice will have to run away obediently."
Qiao Yan poured cold water on the idea, saying, "But there aren't just one or two rats outside, there's a whole swarm of them, and they won't be so easy to deal with."
Qin Zhuo tilted his ear, listening carefully to the distinctly different squeaking of the mice outside.
"The voices of these mutated rats have changed; they sound terrified. It seems they're afraid of Mimi."
Chen Yunfei quickly perked up his ears and listened for a while. Then, he winked at Youxiang and said, "It seems different. Little You, translate what they're saying."
Yu Xiang said angrily, "Brother Chen, I'm a zombie, not a rat. How can I understand their language? You're just making things difficult for me."
Outside the earthen wall.
A black cat darted among the mice scattered on the ground, chasing them with great joy.
It thought to itself with delight: Food, so much food! I'm going to have a feast today! I'm so happy!
After a while, Chen Yunfei placed his hand on the earthen wall, closed his eyes, sensed it for a moment, and then opened his eyes and said, "There are no more mutated rats on the earthen wall."
Qiao Yan listened intently for a moment and nodded, saying, "The mutated rats are making fewer noises now, so it seems the situation is improving."
Qin Zhuo pondered for a moment and said, "Yunfei, remove the earthen wall. We need to check the situation outside. Everyone be alert for any unexpected situations after the earthen wall is removed. I'll count to three, and then the earthen wall will be removed."
Chen Yunfei immediately stood up straight and loudly replied, "Yes!"
"three--"
"two--"
"one!"
As Qin Zhuo's voice faded, the earthen wall disappeared.
The sight of mutated dead rats scattered all over the ground was truly spectacular.
"Meow?"
At that moment, Mimi, who was holding down a mutated rat with one paw, tilted her head and looked at Yuka and the others with a puzzled expression.
What's the master doing here?
It was so engrossed in catching mice that it completely failed to notice its owner's arrival.
But it's good that the owner is here; they can help pack up all the food so it can carry it all with it.
Mimi used her sharp claws to kill the mutated rat she was holding down, then picked it up and trotted over to Yuzuru.
"Meow meow meow!"
Hurry up and pack it for me!
It squeaked anxiously as it handed the mouse to Yuxiang.
Yu Xiang looked at the dead rat in front of her, jumping up and down in disgust, her little face scrunched up. "Mimi, I hate rats, don't put them in front of me."
When Mimi saw that Youxiang didn't understand what it meant, it got anxious and started spinning around in circles, meowing incessantly.
Seeing this, Qiao Yan understood what was going on and said to Youxiang, "Little Youzi, it seems that Mimi wants you to put these mutated dead rats into her space. She caught so many, probably to store them up and eat them slowly."
Upon hearing this, Mimi nodded immediately.
Yes, yes, that's exactly what I meant. This human really understands me.
Yuka shook her head and refused, "No."
She can't store these things in her game inventory; the thought of dead rats in her inventory gives her the creeps.
"Meow meow meow!!" Mimi jumped up and down in anger, meowing at Yuxiang.
Bad owner! You didn't pack my food!
Looking at Mimi's angry expression, Chen Yunfei glanced at Youxiang and scratched his head, saying, "After all, it was Mimi who saved us. Little Youxiang, why don't you give Mimi a treat? You can't repay kindness with enmity when you're a corpse."
