Chapter 58 Fierce Battle
The people in front passed the cement road safely. When it was Luming's turn, she looked carefully on both sides. The pond was extremely dirty and smelled bad. Some garbage bags, dead fish and dead rats were floating on the water.
Against the gray morning sky, it was a standard scene from a horror movie.
She couldn't help but tighten the sword in her hand and walked forward with heavy steps.
There were three small buildings in front of them. The man in military uniform directed their men to walk into the largest one in the middle. Lu Shaoyang led his men to the left, while Uncle Mo led his men to follow the Chaoyang team and walk to the right.
Seeing this, Li Wenbin took his men to guard the middle of the yard and did not go upstairs.
As soon as Gu Chao and his group arrived downstairs, they saw a scene that made their scalps tingle.
There was a glass display cabinet right in front of me, which was usually used for customers to select the ingredients inside and let them order dishes by looking at the ingredients.
However, at this time, the inside was full of rotten food covered with white and blue mold, and groups of white maggots were wriggling on it.
All the hairs on Lu Ming's body suddenly stood up and her scalp felt numb. She quickly turned her eyes away, not daring to look again.
The others also showed disgust and aversion on their faces. The uncle was trying to endure the discomfort and go around the cabinet to open the wooden door with a hole in the back, but Cheng Ming behind him suddenly pressed his shoulder.
Cheng Ming's face turned pale and he slowly shook his head at Uncle Mo.
Uncle Mo was about to ask when everyone heard a buzzing sound.
"Lin Zi!" Gu Chao called out to Lin Cong in a low voice, and the latter hurried forward, ready to attack.
A moment later, black insects flew out one by one, and soon gathered into a small black cloud, then quickly attacked everyone.
The uncle next to him changed his expression and took the lead in releasing a bunch of thumb-sized stones at the swarm of flying insects. However, those flying insects were extremely agile and scattered to the left and right to avoid the stones.
Everyone's heart sank, they were moving so fast!
When the cloud came closer, everyone realized that it was actually a group of flies with broken bodies and strange shapes, their compound eyes turned white, and each one was half the size of a thumb!
Zombie flies!
The people in the front row were shocked. Lin Cong quickly swung a fireball at the insect swarm, and the "cloud" was instantly dispersed.
Fortunately, fire is their nemesis. When the insects touched the fireball, they immediately caught fire. After struggling to fly forward for a while, they turned into charred dots and fell to the ground with crackling sounds.
Lin Cong single-handedly dealt with this wave of zombie flies, and the other teams were secretly amazed at this scene.
Cheng Ming quietly pointed to the second floor and then made several gestures in succession.
[There's someone on the second floor, emergency, evacuate immediately!]
Gu Chao looked solemn as he took the lead and walked towards the stairs, followed closely by Lu Ming.
The uncle never dared to open the kitchen door again. Just kidding, who knows how many bugs are still inside?
Turning the corner, there are two doors in the corridor in front of you.
Without Cheng Ming's reminder, Lu Ming had already heard voices coming from the room in the distance. The voices were intermittent and too soft to be heard clearly.
She looked at Gu Chao, glanced forward, and then quickly walked to the door to prepare for cover.
Gu Chao understood, walked quickly to the door, bent his fingers and tapped three times.
The sound inside suddenly stopped. Gu Chao knocked three more times and heard someone nervously ask, "Who is it?" The voice was hoarse, as if he had swallowed glass shards.
"From the J City base."
With a "click", the lock was twisted. Lu Ming gripped the knife tightly in his hand and stared at the door warily.
The door was slowly opened a crack, and a figure swayed. After confirming that there was indeed someone outside, he opened the door and turned to shout happily inside: "Great! Someone really came to save us!"
Another young man in military uniform walked to the door and looked out. When he saw Lu Ming, his pupils shrank and he looked at Gu Chao again: "Have you solved the problem outside?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Gu Chao frowned and asked, "What is that?"
The man's expression changed, and just as he was about to speak, a scream came from downstairs: "Ah! What is that!"
The people upstairs looked down, only to see that the people below were desperately casting their superpowers, or waving their weapons vigorously, trying to drive away the things that surrounded them. However, those things were in groups...
Zombie rat!
The black rats had lost their fur, sharp teeth, and red eyes. The smallest one was half the size of a palm, and the largest one was as long as an arm.
No need to ask anymore, they now know what is out there!
But they didn't see any along the way. Where did so many come from?
People in the other two buildings heard the noise, stuck their heads out, and seeing the scene, they all went downstairs to help.
Gu Chao said in a deep voice: "Lin Cong and Yan Song will lead the way, Yan Wei and Zhang Rui will protect Cheng Minghangyuan, let's go!"
The people at the end of the team quickly turned around and ran downstairs. When they returned to the ground, they saw that rats of all sizes were pouring out of the hole in the kitchen door, and the hole was showing signs of expanding.
The men in Uncle Mo's team kept swinging their axes. One of them was also a fire elemental, throwing fireballs desperately. The power was not small, but the rats did not die immediately after catching fire. Instead, they rushed towards them with flames.
In a blink of an eye, four of the people who were left on the ground had fallen down. More than a dozen rats climbed onto their bodies and kept gnawing at them. For a while, screams were endless.
Lin Cong waved his hand and released a wall of fire, temporarily stopping the rats. Yan Song threw large stones at the rats, and the rats were smashed to pieces with a loud bang.
The smell of burnt, rotten and blood intertwined together, the smell was so strong that it made people nauseous.
Yan Wei raised his hand and released a golden thorn, attacking the rat that was running around with fire on its body.
Gu Chao and Lu Ming walked behind, protecting the five people in military uniforms behind them. Their steps were unsteady and their bodies were weak. It seemed that they had been hungry for several days.
She walked on the left side of the young man who had just asked the question, waving the sword in her hand so quickly that the blade even left an afterimage in the air. Without even looking, she cut the leaping rat into pieces with an expressionless face.
The people behind were stunned. Is this girl so fierce?!
The young man was close and could see her movements clearly. At this moment, he was even more shocked. Is this... is this her?
Is this still the girl who was terrified of these things and would fuss for a long time at the sight of a bug?
Suddenly, a small zombie rat jumped up at a tricky angle and pounced on Luming. The young man who had been paying attention to her saw this and quickly took action. A flash of purple lightning passed by, and the rat was knocked to the ground with a snap.
Lu Ming couldn't hide his surprise, it turned out to be the thunder type!
This was the first time she had seen this rare ability.
The legendary male protagonist standard.
She couldn't help but take the time to look at him several times, with a tiny light flashing in her eyes, and after a while she said, "Thank you."
The young man frowned slightly as he looked at her curious but calm gaze. She seemed... not to recognize him?
He felt a little complicated, but before he could reply, a loud sound of someone falling into the water attracted everyone's attention.
They turned around and saw that someone from the team that stayed on the ground had fallen into the water when they rushed out.
In the water, everyone took a closer look and gasped. The dead rats that were originally "floating" on the water with their bellies turned over turned over and swam quickly towards the person who fell into the water, tearing his flesh with their sharp teeth.
Soon, the man sank with a scream, and there was no sound anymore.
At this time, the uncles also came to the muddy road in front of the pond, looking at the zombie rats swimming on both sides, hesitant and dared not go up.
Lin Cong passed them and threw a bunch of fireballs into the water, setting the garbage on the water on fire, temporarily blocking the rats' steps, then waved his hand and shouted: "Run!"
A surprised voice came from behind Lu Ming and the others at the same time: "Zi Xi! Are you okay?"
Zhou Zixi, the young man, turned around, his eyes filled with joy: "Brother Wan!"
Lu Shaoyang and his team also broke through here. For a moment, the team's combat effectiveness increased greatly, but the number of rats was still large.
"Bang!" The wooden door was completely knocked open, and rats rushed out from all directions!
"Those without super powers, hurry over!" The super powers in several teams came over spontaneously to help block the rats, letting the team members without super powers go first. After all, if they were scratched, they would basically be waiting to die.
Those ordinary soldiers did not withdraw after they passed by, but took out their guns to provide long-range support.
"Luming, take them away first."
Lu Ming nodded seriously, looking at the green military uniform beside him, "Go over there quickly."
Zhou Zixi pursed his lips and waved behind him, signaling the others to go first.
"Mr. Zhou, you go first!" The person behind him refused to move and dragged his tired body to help.
Lu Ming's brows arched. Why was he being so humble at this moment?! What a waste of time!
She reached out and grabbed Zhou Zixi's arm, dragging him into the passage without giving him a chance to refuse. Her force was so great that Zhou Zixi struggled twice but couldn't get free.
The two of them rushed to the center in the blink of an eye. When they were about to pass smoothly, a huge black shadow suddenly jumped out of the water and rushed straight towards Zhou Zixi's face!
He was startled, and before he could even raise his hand, the shadow was already in front of him. He even felt a gust of fishy wind mixed with a few drops of water hitting his brow. The shadow was too fast for him to dodge! It was as if he could sense the impending pain!
However, "Swish"!
A silver light flashed, and the cold tip of the knife passed by Zhou Zixi's face with a sound of breaking through the air, and suddenly knocked the black shadow away.
Turning around, I saw a huge black rat with a military dagger piercing its head and nailed to the railing!
When he saw the mouse's bald fur, black and red rotten flesh, and its jagged fangs and sharp claws, he couldn't help but gasp.
If I had been caught by it at that time, I would have died at least half of my face would have been rotten.
He turned to look at Lu Ming and was about to thank her, but he saw that she didn't care at all. She walked forward, pulled out the dagger, and carefully examined the mouse's corpse.
Lu Ming frowned, poked open its brain, and picked out a transparent crystal.
It turned out to be a level three speed zombie rat!
Fortunately, she is already at the third level, otherwise everyone here would be in great danger today.
She wiped it casually, put the crystal away, turned around and saw Zhou Zixi looking at her with a strange expression.
She was a little confused, but didn't care. She pulled him to the other side and wanted to go back to pick someone up.
When I was leaving, I found that he was showing some signs of dehydration, so I took out a bottle of water from the backpack behind me and threw it to him, then turned around and went back to the concrete bridge.
Zhou Zixi grabbed the water bottle, his eyes following her back for a long time.
Lu Ming returned to the small building and took out a dagger. He went back and forth several times and sent the rescued men in green military uniforms and ordinary people from the two teams of Lu Shaoyang and Captain Wan to the other side.
Fortunately, that speed-type zombie rat should be considered a boss, and I never encountered such a powerful one again.
There were still the psychics from Captain Wan's team and the Chaoyang team left at the small building. Originally, Cheng Ming and Li Hangyuan were going to come here first, but the others had almost used up their psychics. Once they left, a corner of the defense line would be broken, and the remaining people would be in danger.
Seeing that Lin Cong and the others could hardly hold on any longer, while mice were still crawling out, Lu Ming became anxious.
These rats are more agile than flies, so simply throwing fireballs won't do much good.
This can't go on! There are too many! Several people have already been scratched and bitten! She scratched her head anxiously.
Suddenly, she looked up at the kitchen, then turned her eyes and looked at Gu Chao.
Gu Chao happened to look over, and the two of them realized from looking at each other that they had the same idea!
