Are we just going to give up on them like this?
No, Bai Shuang still couldn't bring herself to disregard the lives of her compatriots.
"I have rat repellent, a lot of rat repellent, both powder and liquid."
Old Lu: "Have you tried it?"
"I've used it before. It might not work against a large army of rats, but it can temporarily clear a section of land and buy time to rescue people."
In addition, I also have tamed wild beasts and birds of prey. Although their numbers are small, they have a bloodline-like intimidation effect on rodents, and should be able to deter them in the short term.
Old Master Lu: Very good, you and Lu Yu will be the forwards, and the task of buying time will be entrusted to the two of you.
"Arrange for 10 helicopters to accompany you to the rescue."
As Bai Shuang and her group came out of the council hall, they saw a group of family members of workers and officers waiting outside.
When they saw Bai Shuang and the others come out, it was as if they saw hope. They immediately surrounded them, wanting to know the base's arrangements for the rescue.
Bai Shuang: "Don't worry, we'll go rescue them right away."
The family members bowed deeply to Bai Shuang and her companions.
"Thank you, thank you, leader, thank you, Boss Bai."
Despite the dire circumstances of the disaster, the government spared no effort in rescuing survivors outside the base.
Everyone knows that there are swarms of rats outside, and she could have chosen not to save them.
Because going out is tantamount to taking a risk, and there's a possibility of risking your life for someone else's.
Without delay, after making the arrangements, Elder Lu immediately set off.
………………
At this moment, not far from the ruins, the driver's cabs of every military truck were packed with people. The rest of the people were crammed into the only enclosed carriage.
The rest of the carriages were open and used for loading scrap metal.
At noon today, soldiers patrolling outside the ruins suddenly heard a rustling sound.
It was louder than raindrops, but just as dense. With their professional training, they immediately realized something was wrong.
Before we even understood what was going on, the assembly whistle was blown.
Survivors searching for metal in the ruins heard urgent orders to assemble, immediately dropped the metal, and ran outside.
In the apocalypse, people encounter many dangerous things, and their sensitivity to danger is ingrained in their very bones.
Those who managed to escape got into the vehicles at the soldiers' signal.
At this moment, the black, surging mass was already approaching, while the survivors had not yet fully boarded the vehicle.
"Quick, quick, get in the car!"
The accompanying soldiers shouted urgently, but some people had not yet reached them.
The mutated rats were already close at hand, some of them already climbing onto people and starting to bite.
"Quickly, rat repellent powder, quickly spread rat repellent powder."
Someone quickly realized what was happening and, while swatting the rat, took out rat repellent powder from their bag and sprinkled it outside.
However, there were too many rats and the rat repellent powder was limited. It was quickly masked by the rats' scent, and the mutated rats approached again and started biting.
Everyone on the bus took out their own rat repellent powder and sprinkled it on the soldiers outside the door.
Even though they were the first to stand in front of the vehicle, the soldiers waited until all the survivors were on board before they themselves started getting on, using the rat repellent powder as a precaution.
Everyone helped them chase away the rats crawling on their bodies, and by then, some rats had already run onto the car.
After closing the car door, everyone worked together to kill the rat in the car.
When they saw rats crawling all over the car windows, everyone was still shaken.
If we had been just one step slower, we would have all become bones.
Wu Jun: "If it weren't for the rat repellent given by Boss Bai, there would have been many more people bitten."
Many people, especially soldiers, have been bitten by rats and urgently need to have their wounds treated.
Everyone helped bandage the wounds, and someone shouted, "Quick, drive back to base!"
The car started and drove forward, crushing the rat's body.
But before they had gone far, they heard the sound of tires bursting, and the car could no longer move.
"It's a rat, a rat chewed through the tire."
The people in the car suddenly felt heavy-hearted.
The car can't move, so we can only wait here until the rats retreat or until we are rescued.
But the car windows are covered with rats. When will these pests finally disappear?
Furthermore, regarding the rescue, the tires of these vehicles were all chewed up by rats, so how could the base's vehicles arrive?
Some people say that airplanes can come.
However, when the planes arrived, the situation was similar to that of the vehicles; they were crawling with giant rats.
How do they open the hatch? And how do they themselves open the car door and get out?
I'm afraid that as soon as the door opens, the giant rats will rush in and be bitten to death before they even get on the plane.
If the rat swarm doesn't retreat, the base may not come to rescue them, and they won't be able to.
With that in mind, everyone started taking stock of their food and water, realizing they had to eat sparingly.
They went out every morning and returned in the afternoon, so they only brought enough dry food for one meal in between.
Some people looked at the dark swarm of rats outside and felt like crying, because they had only brought water and were not eating during the day, just waiting to go back for dinner.
If we stay trapped here, we'll starve to death.
Many of the soldiers inside were bitten, but they still didn't forget to cheer everyone up.
"It's alright, as long as the rats retreat a little, the base will come to rescue us."
"But will the rats retreat?"
"Of course they will. The world is so big, how could they always stay here?"
But the rats outside are still swarming in dense numbers. When will they leave?
Just when they were in despair, the roar of airplanes came from the sky.
"An airplane! I heard the sound of an airplane. It must be coming to rescue us."
"I heard it too! Look, an airplane!"
"We're saved! We don't have to die."
