"ah!"
A piercing scream rang out from outside the door.
Oh no!
Lu Sheng's mind sank.
"Zhuangzhuang, Rocket, protect Tiantian and Hanrui, wake them up immediately."
After giving the two mythical beasts their instructions, Lu Sheng immediately pushed open the bedroom door and ran towards the direction of the sound.
The sound was coming from the suite's bathroom.
When Lu Sheng arrived in the living room, she ran into Xu Yi. The two exchanged a glance and rushed into the bathroom side by side.
All they saw was a dark shadow disappear into the bathroom vent and vanish in an instant, while Xiao Zhu lay face down on the floor with her back to the bathroom door.
"I'll do it."
Xu Yi blocked Lu Sheng behind him and quickly stepped forward to check on her.
Because he fell face down, Xiao Zhu's nose was broken, and two streaks of blood flowed from the tip of his nose down to his chest.
There were two pencil-sized holes in his shoulder, from which blood kept oozing out, staining half of his body red.
Lu Sheng's pupils constricted as the sounds inside his eardrums grew increasingly noisy.
It felt like the pressure of air bulging in your eardrums during takeoff, as if someone was violently hammering inside your ear canal, causing pain and dizziness.
The remaining people gradually woke up and rushed to the bathroom upon hearing the noise. They were all startled by the scene before them.
"What happened? Is this an animal bite wound?"
Xiao Yu, still feeling dizzy, came over, picked up Xiao Zhu, and asked anxiously.
Lu Sheng looked up and pointed to the dark vent on the bathroom wall. "Juan'er, block that vent first!"
Xu Yi cleaned Xiao Zhu's wounds and carried him to the sofa in the living room.
"This wound looks like a snake wound, could it be poisonous?"
Zhang Xiaojuan's face also looked bad. After blocking the entrance, she asked in a hoarse voice.
"Could it be a rat?"
"No need to guess, it's a bat."
The banging continued outside the window. Lu Sheng walked to the French windows and flung open the curtains. Hundreds of mutated bats were clinging to the windowpane, desperately trying to break free!
The group of people, who were half-asleep, were immediately startled awake, their last vestiges of sleepiness instantly dispelled.
They were so focused on checking the bathroom that they didn't notice the many mutated bats lurking outside the window!
Mutant bats are not only ugly in appearance, but more seriously, they are usually social animals and have a strong sense of revenge.
In their previous life, Lu Sheng and Sun Tiantian had suffered from these mutated bats.
The members of the small shelter where they were temporarily staying accidentally injured a mutated bat, and that very night, an overwhelming army of bats attacked.
Bats have extremely strong night vision and ultrasonic positioning capabilities, making them no match for humans in the dark.
The most troublesome thing is that the saliva of these mutated bats is corrosive and has anticoagulant properties. Once bitten by one of these creatures, the wound will never heal without special medicine and treatment.
In their previous lives, many people didn't die from bat bites, but from wounds that wouldn't heal and became infected and festering.
Why are there so many bats?
As soon as Sun Tiantian opened her mouth, she felt a sharp, tearing pain deep inside her ear canal, causing her to instinctively close her eyes tightly.
"These bats not only bite, but they've also mutated to use sonic attacks..."
Lu Sheng took out a box of painkillers and quickly distributed them to everyone. "Take them right away. These bats are attacking our ears with sound waves."
The area around the human ear is extremely rich in nerves, and severe nerve pain can not only affect hearing, but can even attack the brain!
In cases of extreme neuropathic pain, a person's consciousness and actions are severely affected, and they may even choose to end their own life due to unbearable suffering.
These beasts are so cunning; they actually came up with the idea of first paralyzing people's nerves with sound waves, and then entering the room through the ventilation vents to bite them.
Whoosh!
Just as the group took their medicine, a loud bang came from behind them.
The hotel's ordinary glass couldn't withstand the bats' onslaught. Hundreds of bats swarmed into the living room and frantically attacked the people inside.
The enormous noise produced by the flapping of countless wings brought a stench that filled the air.
Come here!
Sun Tiantian immediately summoned an ice wall to block the first wave of the bat army's attack, and the remaining few people immediately bent down and crawled behind the ice wall.
Han Rui dropped a few bitter chrysanthemum seeds, and the slender, tough green roots tightly entangled the bats that were chasing after her.
Earth spikes, ice spears, water dragons—a barrage of supernatural attacks rained down on the dark swarm of bats.
However, the indoor environment was too cramped, and with the bat army pressing in, he couldn't fully unleash his powers in order to avoid accidentally harming his own people.
"You all hide in your rooms first and protect yourselves. Leave the rest to me."
At the critical moment, Lu Sheng threw out an electric net to temporarily trap the bat army's attack, and quickly turned around to give instructions.
Just as she was rapidly thinking about how to deal with the thorny problem at hand, she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder.
Xu Yi raised his hand to adjust the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. "Get some rest."
He simply uttered four words, then tightened his fingers on the overwhelming black shadow in the air with his right hand.
"control."
Space was once again divided into two planes.
All the restless, bloodthirsty mutant beasts were sealed within an invisible barrier.
With the mutated bat trapped, the immense pressure that had been relentlessly assaulting everyone's eardrums vanished instantly.
Lu Sheng looked at Xu Yi in surprise.
This guy has quietly reached the fourth rank? Now he doesn't even need to charge up to use spatial blockade anymore, he can do it effortlessly.
Make a fortune quietly!
Xu Yi's deep gaze was fixed on the massive, sealed-off black shadow, his right fist clenched and turned downwards.
A cloud of black mist instantly filled the space.
The image of the restless, crazed mutated bats gradually blurred, breaking down into tiny pixels. Finally, it disappeared completely.
"Teacher Xu is awesome!"
"I'll carry the banner for Teacher Xu!"
Zhang Xiaojuan emerged from behind the ice wall and clapped her hands.
Using his decomposition ability again still put a great strain on Xu Yi's body. He smiled faintly, but his handsome and noble face revealed an undisguised weariness.
"careful!"
Just as the group relaxed their guard, a cold glint suddenly flashed behind Xu Yi.
Lu Sheng rushed towards Xu Yi, her slender fingers grasping the sharp ice pick in mid-air. With a slight squeeze of her palm, she crushed the ice pick into powder.
Everyone looked in astonishment at what was behind Xu Yi.
The person who attacked from behind was none other than Li Song, who was supposed to be unconscious...
Li Song's eyes were bloodshot. He raised his ice blade to strike Lu Sheng and Xu Yi, but Sun Tiantian hit him on the neck with an ice hammer.
"Are all the people at Yunshan Base ingrates? You kindly saved him and then attacked him from behind?"
Zhang Xiaojuan tied the unconscious Li Song up tightly with a rope, then turned to Han Rui and complained.
"He is being manipulated. The mutated bats that attacked us just now were all blood servants controlled by the same person."
Lu Sheng snatched a half-eaten mutated bat from the rocket's mouth and pointed to the deep red symbol on the bat's body, "Look at Li Song's chest, he should have the same mark."
