Everyone in the room held their breath and listened intently to the sounds outside.
The sky outside was dark, but the surrounding scenery was still clearly visible.
The first thing to be noticed was the increasingly close, rustling sound of a body scraping against the vegetation as it walked.
The sounds were chaotic and intermittent, as if searching for something!
Lu Yu led a few people out of the house quietly, quickly climbed up the huge peach tree branches on the east side to the roof, and dispersed to both sides of the door. The others stood at the door, ready to rush out and fight.
Fortunately, when they came in, they had cleared a path in front of the house that was wide enough for two people to walk on; otherwise, they might not even have had a place to fight.
Soon, the weeds in front of the house trembled a few times, and suddenly several dark shadows as big as adult cats jumped out of the weeds!
In the afterglow of the setting sun, everyone could immediately see what these things looked like. They had sharp mouths, eerily red eyes, and long, sharp, purplish-black claws on their four feet that were on the ground!
It's a mutant rat!
"Everyone be careful not to get scratched!"
Lu Yu's voice came from the roof outside, but it immediately attracted the attention of the mutated rat swarm!
The dozen or so mutated rats, who had just emerged from the grass, seemed a little dazed. But after hearing Lu Yu's voice, they seemed to have finally found their way. They were quiet for a moment, then almost simultaneously turned around and ran towards the peach tree that Lu Yu and the others had just climbed, chattering and squeaking.
But Lu Yu had obviously thought of this when he spoke. Before the rats could climb the tree, a huge silver-white metal net suddenly fell from the sky and covered them all before they could climb the tree!
At the same time, hundreds of kilograms of loess were thrown onto the metal mesh to prevent the rats from crawling out from under it!
"Chirp, chirp, click!"
The zombie rats, having smelled food, were suddenly restricted in their movements. They frantically scurried around under the net, scratching and clawing, trying to find a gap to escape through.
Sharp fingernails scratched against the metal mesh, making a teeth-grinding scraping sound!
Su Li came out of the house and walked to the metal mesh. She had just stopped when she suddenly heard Qi Zhi exclaim, "Oh my god! Sister Su Li, look!"
Following the direction of Qi Zhi's finger, Su Li quickly saw that these zombie rats were actually gnawing on the metal mesh!
The metal mesh was just created by the metal ability user. Although it wasn't particularly thick, it was about the thickness of a little finger.
But in such a short time, some parts have already been gnawed into by the zombie rats and will soon break apart!
"Take care of it first! Quickly!"
Su Li immediately snapped out of her daze and said to the people around her!
The zombie rats trapped in the net are lambs to the slaughter; the superhumans can take them out instantly with a single blow each!
But at the very end, one of the zombie rats managed to bite through a section of the metal mesh and crawl out!
The sharp metal blades ripped open a gash in its rapidly moving body, and black entrails and blood gushed out instantly, filling the air with a strong, pungent stench!
But the zombie rats seemed oblivious, and charged like arrows toward the nearest person!
But in the end, his head was crushed by a power-type ability user in Lu Yu's team!
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!! My shoes! Boss, my shoes! Get a new pair!"
This superhuman was named Wang Hanyi, and he looked to be in his early twenties. He had a constipated expression on his face and was rubbing the soles of his shoes on the ground rapidly.
The act of stepping on the zombie rat was completely subconscious. By the time I realized it, the black and yellow brain matter of the zombie rat had already been sprayed onto my shoes!
There are thirteen zombie rats in total, and the crystal cores in their skulls are all quite large.
Lu Yu had someone pick out the crystal cores, wash them clean, and then distribute them after they were settled inside the house.
Then he climbed the peach tree, but this time not to the roof, but to the very top of the tree. He looked around and then came down.
“There are only four households around here, but about a hundred meters further back is the village. We’ll keep a low profile at night, because there will be even more animals in the village. It’s hard to guarantee that mutated cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, or even cattle and sheep won’t be attracted here!”
The crowd's voices immediately became even quieter.
Fortunately, the homeowners didn't seem to enjoy growing flowers and plants, so the house was relatively clean and there was no situation where the rooms were overcrowded with mutated plants!
Unfortunately, the mutated plants outside squeezed into the house. Although they had all been cleared out by then, the windows of both rooms were shattered.
Lin Dong and several metal-powered individuals covered all the windows with metal plates.
The room was lit with dim, orange lights.
Since they were only staying for one night, there was no need to clean the house. Su Li and Lu Yu each took out a few old mattresses and quilts from their spaces and spread them on the heated kang and the floor.
The old mattresses and bedding here in Zurich are the same ones I kept at the beauty salon before, so I don't feel bad if they get dirty.
During their escape, no distinction was made between men and women, and the number of people in the two rooms was evenly distributed at night.
They ate some bread and pastries with milk and drinks for dinner. After dinner, the group assigned the order of night watch and went to bed early!
It's not cold at night, so no one is using blankets.
Su Li had a wall on one side and Huang Keke on the other. She covered herself with a large trench coat, pulled Xuan Qing, who was nestled between her and Huang Keke's pillows, to her front, turned over and hugged him to the side against the wall, then reached out and held the black cat in her arms, closing her eyes.
The black cat, which was encircled, patted the white sheet beneath it with the tip of its tail. Its eyes remained closed, but its triangular ears stood up high!
He shifted slightly, stretching his body out to relax as he lay on his side, his chin resting on the girl's slender arm, his earlobe touching her chin and twitching involuntarily.
The room quickly became quiet.
Su Li closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep, but her mind was taut!
Just then, Xuan Qing's clear, snow-like voice suddenly rang in my ears:
"Sleep peacefully. I've set up a barrier outside the house. Unless someone accidentally wanders in, nothing else can sense the sounds or presence here!"
As soon as the voice fell, Su Li suddenly opened her eyes!
However, the black cat in front of me had its eyes closed and looked like it had fallen asleep!
But soon, sensing her gaze, the black cat, which had been keeping its eyes closed, opened them and looked back. Su Li opened her mouth, about to ask a question, but then suddenly heard the black cat's calm explanation:
"I used a sound transmission technique to say what I just said, so no one else could hear it."
Su Li was surprised, but quickly recovered. She was silent for two seconds, then exhaled silently and nodded slightly.
She was indeed very worried about safety tonight, after all, there were probably more animals in the village than in the city.
Putting aside everything else, even if someone inside the house accidentally snores, it could attract the attention of mutated creatures outside!
But if there is a barrier that can isolate sound and breath, then there is no need to worry too much. At least she can sleep soundly!
