Chapter 62: Revenge of the Rat Pack
A mouse that was responsible for forward reconnaissance sent back extremely frightened and blurry images!
In the front of the pipe, there is a relatively wide chamber covered with thick organic mucus.
A huge figure covered with a pitch-black chitinous shell is facing away from the camera, wriggling slightly.
Its abdomen was extremely bloated, almost hanging to the ground, and its segmented supporting legs were deeply embedded in the mucus.
Through the weak light and the night vision of mice,
Bai Li saw that at the end of the monster's bloated abdomen, a huge organ like a reproductive cavity was contracting and expanding rhythmically!
With each contraction, there is an egg the size of a basketball, covered with a slimy film, and the hideous outline of the interior can be vaguely seen.
Along with a large amount of sticky liquid, it was squeezed out and rolled into a nest next to it made of mucus and broken bones!
There were already seven or eight equally disgusting eggs piled up there!
It was exactly the same as the one that was taken away by the people from Hope Base before.
spawning!
It's laying eggs!
Bai Li felt his scalp tingling, and a chill rushed from the tip of his tail to the top of his head!
This is no ordinary killing monster at all!
This is a mother that can reproduce quickly and build a nest!
An egg-laying alien!
She immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
Action must be taken immediately!
The fearful thoughts from the Rat King were like ice water pouring over my head.
Bai Li’s sleepiness disappeared instantly!
We can't let this go on!
We must not let it expand its nest near our territory!
We must kill it before it can gain a firm foothold!
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Bai Li's eyes.
She immediately gave the attack order to the Rat King through the mental link!
Use the rat sea tactic!
Harass! Bite! Probe its weaknesses!
The Rat King squeaked sharply,
The black swarm of rats that had been lurking in the surrounding pipes poured out like a tide.
Attack the egg-laying alien from all directions!
However,
The following scene made Bai Li's heart sink to the bottom in an instant.
Rat attack,
It is almost impossible to cause effective damage to the alien's hard chitinous shell!
When they bite, their teeth only make a tooth-aching scraping sound and leave shallow white marks.
The alien didn't even bother to use its claws.
Just a casual sweep of the tail like a steel whip,
More than a dozen mice were blown up in an instant, turning into a bloody mist!
Its horrible nest of teeth occasionally pops out,
Like a precise sniper rifle,
Each time, he could penetrate several mice and string them together!
This was not a battle at all, but a one-sided massacre!
The rat population is decreasing at an alarming rate.
The ground was soon covered with the blood and body parts of rats.
The alien seemed to be irritated by these annoying bugs.
The attacks became more violent.
But he himself did not suffer any substantial harm.
The Rat King himself also tried to attack from behind,
But its sharp teeth couldn't tear through the alien's defense.
Instead, he was hit by the alien's sudden tail swing!
Bang!
The Rat King let out a shrill scream, and his body was smashed against the pipe wall like a broken sack.
Blood was flowing from the mouth and nose, and the silver-gray fur was torn.
I didn't know how many bones were broken and I struggled to get up.
Bai Li groaned, feeling the intense pain and weakness coming from the other end of the mental link.
Failed!
Ordinary attacks are completely ineffective!
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
She immediately gave the order through the mental link.
The surviving rats fled into the interconnected network of tiny pipes like frightened birds.
The alien seemed too lazy to chase after these foods that could not threaten it.
It continued to drag its bloated body deeper into the pipe network and began to secrete mucus, as if preparing to build a nest.
Bai Li endured the mental pain and anger,
He immediately ordered a few relatively intact mice to drag the seriously injured Rat King back with difficulty.
When the Rat King was dragged back to the ground, he was already dying.
Bai Li immediately stepped forward and activated the primary healing technique without hesitation.
A faint white light enveloped the seriously injured body of the Rat King.
The wound began to stop bleeding slowly, and the broken bones slightly connected.
But the Rat King was too badly injured.
Healing magic can only temporarily stabilize its life and cannot make it recover immediately.
Looking at the weak appearance of the Rat King and the almost annihilated rat swarm,
Bai Li's heart was filled with anger and powerlessness.
We can't just fight it head-on! We have to find a way!
flame!
Hopefully someone at the base used a flamethrower!
That monster seems to be afraid of high temperature flames!
The image of the tech geek and his tools instantly flashed through Bai Li’s mind.
Could you... have him build some simple flamethrowers?
Or... a Molotov cocktail?
Once this thought came into being, it became extremely clear.
She immediately sent a new, extremely simple blueprint to the tech geek via crow.
There is a bottle painted on it, with a cloth stuck in the bottle mouth and a flame painted inside the bottle.
There is an arrow next to it, pointing to the direction of the underground pipeline.
There's also a big skull logo.
The meaning couldn't be clearer: Make a Molotov cocktail! Use it to deal with the monsters underground!
When the tech geek saw the drawing, he was stunned for a moment, then an expression of fear and realization appeared on his face.
He looked at his nearly finished cat car, then looked at the blueprint, gritted his teeth,
Immediately search for the materials at hand.
Empty glass bottle?
Yes! I collected quite a few before.
Fabric?
Yes! There are plenty of tattered clothes and rags.
Fuel… His eyes fell on the half-full bottle of engine oil used to lubricate the parts of the cat car.
That's it!
He immediately took action.
Carefully pour the oil into the glass bottle.
Then plug the bottle mouth with a cloth strip, leaving a long piece as a fuse.
A crude but effective Molotov cocktail was quickly prepared.
He made several in succession and put them aside carefully.
His face was a mixture of fear and the excitement of being part of something big.
Bai Li saw the Molotov cocktail being made through the crow, and felt a little relieved.
She looked at the Rat King lying on the ground, who was seriously injured but still had a fierce and unyielding look in his eyes.
A plan formed in my mind.
She used up her spiritual energy again and cast a healing spell on the Rat King to stabilize its injuries.
Then, through the mental link, new tactics were passed to it.
The Rat King personally commanded the attack, but no longer launched a forceful attack.
Instead, they selected a few of the fastest and most clever mice.
Responsible for carrying and throwing Molotov cocktails.
Other rats act as bait and harassment, attracting the alien's attention and creating opportunities for throwing!
The flames of revenge flickered in the Rat King's little eyes.
He nodded with difficulty.
Soon, a new rat team was formed.
Several strong mice picked up the heavy Molotov cocktails.
Under the leadership of the Rat King, they once again dived into the dark network of death without hesitation.
Bai Li's heart tightened again, and she observed nervously through the Rat King's vision.
The rats scurried through the dark and damp pipes.
