Chapter 63 Crazy Flame
Relying on their familiarity with the terrain, they gradually approached the area where alien activities had been discovered before.
The further you go in, the more fishy and sticky the air becomes.
The claw marks on the wall became more dense and hideous.
The remains of animals and even humans whose brains had been sucked out began to appear on the ground.
The rats soon found the alien again.
It seems to have already chosen a nesting location.
Reinforcing a corner with mucus and broken bones, with several newly laid eggs scattered around.
The egg-laying alien seemed to have just finished laying eggs.
It was lying in a pile of mucus and broken eggshells, breathing slightly, and its abdomen seemed to have shrunk a little.
Behind it, you can vaguely see a few eggs that have just been laid and are still wriggling slightly!
Its vigilance seemed to have been reduced a lot due to the fatigue of childbirth.
Chance!
A hint of determination flashed in the Rat King's eyes.
It issues the order to attack!
A large number of ordinary rats rushed out from all directions like a tide, pounced on the alien frantically, biting and scratching it to attract its attention!
The alien was enraged again, waving its tail and claws wildly, slaughtering the rats.
Under the cover of this chaos,
Those rats holding Molotov cocktails were approaching quickly along the shadows!
Their target is the newly laid eggs behind the alien, as well as the alien itself!
A mouse successfully rushed to the pile of eggs and smashed the Molotov cocktail down!
The glass bottle shattered and the oil spilled!
The other mouse took the opportunity to throw the burning stick in its mouth over!
boom!
The flames ignited instantly and swallowed several eggs!
The alien let out an angry roar and turned around suddenly!
But at this moment,
On the other side, another rat threw a Molotov cocktail at its body!
The engine oil splashed all over its bloated abdomen and limbs!
The fire followed!
boom!
The flames exploded again and instantly climbed up the alien's body!
“Hiss!!!”
The alien screamed in extreme pain.
High temperature flames seem to have a significant restraining effect on it.
The chitinous shell on its body made crackling sounds under the burning, and even deformed and melted a little!
It twisted its body frantically, trying to put out the flames, its movements becoming chaotic due to pain.
More rats rushed forward fearlessly and threw Molotov cocktails at it!
Boom! Boom!
The flames continued to explode, turning this underground space into a sea of fire!
The alien struggled and screamed frantically in the sea of fire.
Its attacks became disorganized, but still terrifying, and rats were constantly torn to pieces.
The Rat King himself calmly hid in the distance and gave orders.
Seeing the opportunity, it picked up the last Molotov cocktail by itself.
He rushed forward suddenly and smashed accurately towards the alien's mouth full of sharp teeth, which was open in pain!
boom!
Flames instantly exploded on the alien's head!
The alien's screaming stopped abruptly and turned into a painful whimper.
The whole head is wrapped in flames!
The alien went completely crazy,
It ignored the flames on its body and madly attacked everything around it.
The remaining mice were torn to pieces in an instant.
The Rat King himself was also burned by the flames, and his beautiful silver-gray fur was instantly charred black.
The alien completely lost its sense of direction and rammed the pipe wall frantically like a headless fly.
final,
Amidst the tragic sacrifices of the rats and the blazing flames,
The alien's movements became slower and weaker.
Finally, it fell to the ground with a loud bang, and its charred body twitched a few times.
Completely stopped moving.
The flames on his body were still burning, emitting a burnt smell.
Success...
Bai Li looked through the Rat King's tired and sad vision,
Looking at the sea of fire and the charred corpses of the aliens, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But there was no joy in my heart, only heaviness.
The rat colony was almost wiped out again, with only the rat king and a few rats surviving.
and,
Before the fire spread, the Rat King desperately looked deeper into the pipe.
The last horrifying picture was sent back.
At the end of the shadows that the firelight could barely illuminate,
Attached to the wall of the pipe there were more... densely packed... at least dozens of... eggs that were also slightly wriggling!
It seems like there is no end in sight!
This nest is much bigger and more terrifying than she had imagined!
The one that was burned to death might just be one of them!
Or just a start!
Bai Li's heart suddenly felt like it was falling into an icy cave.
The crisis is far from over.
They must all be destroyed!
Bai Li immediately thought of the Hope Base. Before this, the people at the Hope Base must not know about it, otherwise they would most likely take these things away.
She immediately switched her attention to another nearby crow that was monitoring the ground.
I only saw the ground of the factory area.
Thick smoke was billowing out from several gaps in manhole covers and vents!
The ground in some places was even so hot that it cracked!
The fire below looks quite big!
There was also movement coming from the direction of the Hope Base.
The guards on the wall obviously noticed the unusually thick smoke.
The searchlight swept over,
There were even sirens going off!
A patrol was gathering, seemingly preparing to come over and check.
Bai Li was shocked.
Almost at the moment this thought came to mind,
The cold system selection panel popped up again.
But the option made Bai Li's heart sink suddenly!
[The rat swarm's movement creates thick smoke on the ground, easily exposing the location of their nest and attracting the Hope Base to investigate!]
Please make your choice:
Option 1: Extinguish the fire and conduct rescue efforts! Immediately mobilize all controllable water resources (purified water, stored water) and Earth-type zombies to extinguish the flames and suppress the smoke. At the same time, rescue and treat the Rat King at all costs. (Risk: Extremely High! The effectiveness of extinguishing the fire is unknown and the costs are enormous. Complete concealment is highly likely, and rescuing the Rat King may further expose our presence. Hopefully, the base patrol will arrive as planned and discover the anomaly. Reward: Significantly increased effectiveness of Primary Concealment, Mental Toughness +3, Weak Spirit +2)
Option 2: Disrupt and Cover! Execute the Lure the Tiger Away Plan, attacking other directions of Hope Base to create chaos and draw their attention, creating an opportunity for the underground rats to destroy their nests and evacuate. (Risk: High! Actively attacking the human base will greatly increase hostility and attention, potentially triggering unpredictable retaliation. Reward: 1 Pure Power Crystal Core (significantly increases Strength and Vitality), unlocks new skill: Berserk Command (temporarily increases the combat effectiveness of controllable units, weakening them after the effect ends), Weak Spirit +5)
Option Three: Cut off the tail and survive! Immediately abandon the Rat King and the underground rat swarm, sever the mental link, and order all ground units to stay away from the smoke area and hide completely, allowing Hope Base to discover and deal with this area. (Risk: Medium. Abandoning important reconnaissance units will result in moral condemnation, and the nest may be controlled and exploited by Hope Base. Reward: Temporarily significantly increased safety factor, status gained: Cold-Blooded (short-term tendency to make selfish decisions), Weak Spirit +4)
