"What are you talking about?" Zhang Xiaojuan looked completely bewildered. "It's already the 2020s in the 21st century, and you're still thinking about the 14th century?"
The white-bearded old man smiled without saying a word, and took out a small, snow-white pigeon from his cloak.
The pigeon cooed twice on the old man's withered, rough fingers, its wings gently flapping in the air, its little head tilted slightly, looking small and cute.
The old man's eyes were full of affection as he wrapped his thumb and forefinger around the little pigeon's snow-white neck.
Click.
A crisp sound of bones cracking.
The old man's loving gaze suddenly turned cold, and his fingers tightened abruptly, snapping the little pigeon's neck.
"Coo coo".
What's chilling is that the little pigeon with its head broken off still made a calm cooing sound.
The magician's hat rolled under the table, but rabbits of all sizes continued to pour out. In just one minute, the entire room was filled with rabbits of various colors and sizes.
Even the cutest creatures can become a source of immense pressure when their numbers accumulate to a certain extent.
"Coo coo".
"Coo coo".
The headless pigeon cooed twice.
Accompanied by the eerie cooing of pigeons, all the rabbits in the conference room suddenly stopped moving and turned their heads in unison.
Countless eyes, like dim red lamps, stared intently at everyone in the room, their pink, three-lobed lips opening and closing in perfect unison.
This bizarre, highly synchronized movement made everyone present feel instantly uneasy.
Thrilling, oppressive, bizarre.
The immense pressure spread rapidly like a tidal wave.
The rabbit's bloodshot eyes gleamed with a fierce light. Long, sharp fangs gradually emerged, and sharp claws grew on its limbs.
"This is the first time I've ever felt that rabbits are so disgusting..."
As soon as Lin Xiaobao finished speaking, the densely packed rabbits suddenly became restless.
The rabbits rampaged through the meeting room, emitting short, sharp cries. Their small, sharp claws swiftly scratched at the walls, and their teeth tore at anything they could reach.
The sturdy solid wood table was snapped in two bites, and the metal cabinet in the corner was instantly riddled with holes. This swarm of rabbits was like a locust plague, leaving nothing but desolation in their wake.
If you get bitten by this little monster, at least a large chunk of flesh will be torn off.
"Hold this old man down!" Zhao Mujia and Su Zheng simultaneously lunged at the white-bearded old man.
The two men moved incredibly fast, but before their hands could even touch the hem of their clothes, the old man had vanished from their sight!
Only a low, hoarse laugh echoed in the air.
"this……"
As Zhao Mujia was surprised, Lu Sheng quickly raised his hand and launched a gas blast at the magician's hat under the table.
A muffled explosion rang out, followed by a scream from inside the magician's hat, and a cloud of blood immediately splattered under the table.
The smoke from the burnt fur filled the room, obscuring the view. Lu Sheng decisively drew his knife and stabbed at the spot where blood had just spurted.
With a piercing wail, the white-bearded old man was dragged from under the table to Lu Sheng's feet by a knife.
"The magician's hat is the real thing."
Faced with the surprised looks of the crowd, Lu Sheng gave a calm explanation.
The rabbits that had overrun the room were quickly dealt with. Just as Lu Sheng was about to interrogate the culprit, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
"Oh no! There's a rat infestation outside, and we can't kill them all!" Xiao Yu rushed in, sweating profusely.
Lu Sheng handed the old man to Zhao Mujia and immediately led his men out of the building.
The once peaceful and bustling streets are now a mess.
Countless filthy, ugly rats scurried out of the sewers and ventilation ducts, frantically attacking any living thing visible on the street.
These rats, nearly as long as an adult's forearm, swarmed through the commercial street, making a chilling squeaking sound.
The rats overturned all the trash cans on both sides of the street, scattering household garbage all over the ground. After rummaging through and gnawing on the garbage, the rats scurried into the shops on the first floor and tore apart everything in sight.
"Holy crap, where did these big southern rats come from?" As Zhang Xiaojuan spoke, several rats rushed menacingly towards Lu Sheng and his group.
Lu Sheng threw out a large fireball, blasting the charging rats to ash. He then turned to Su Zheng and instructed, "Turn on the city broadcast. If anyone gets bitten, don't panic. Go to the central hospital immediately to see Teacher Xu and Teacher Fang for treatment."
After arranging for people to be in charge of logistics and maintain order in the hospital, Lu Sheng led his team to put on protective suits and rush into the streets.
Xiao Ning was leisurely leaning against the convenience store entrance eating cart noodles, looking completely unconcerned, when Lu Sheng kicked him in the butt and ordered him to join the rat-catching army.
Faced with the swarming rats, everyone tensed up and raised their weapons.
It wasn't until this moment that Lu Sheng understood what the old man meant by "Welcome back to the fourteenth century."
The Black Death, spread by rats and fleas, broke out in the 14th century. Nearly a third of Europe died in the raging epidemic, and the entire continent was almost wiped out.
Rats are living petri dishes for germs, and almost all of the major epidemics in human history have been related to rats.
Now, after three years of tempering during the apocalypse, they are all at the level of kings among kings. If they are bitten by the source of this activity, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Sheng set up the magnetic cannon and indiscriminately fired at the vast swarm of rats on the street.
Countless compressed light spheres shot out from the cannon barrel, landing and exploding amidst the swarm of rats.
These superbug carriers squealed in pain as they were blown to pieces. To prevent the rats' corpses from spreading the virus further, several fire-type ability users immediately burned the rat remains to ashes.
