Chapter 779 Rescue Failure
Lianyi discovered that the rats were not falling from the front but from above. She turned her wrist and the deadly thread enveloped her and the whirlwind. All the mutant rats that wanted to drown her were cut into pieces.
A sharp "squeak" sound reached Lianyi's eardrums, and then she found that there were fewer mice attacking her. They probably knew she was a tough guy, so they chose to attack other people.
Lianyi narrowed her eyes. It was obvious that this group of mutant mice had a leader. She immediately said to Xuanfeng who was standing obediently at her feet:
"Tornado, can you find their boss?"
"Meow" Tornado nodded. Its target was originally the most powerful mouse, but it was blocked by a younger brother. It was already very angry!
"Find it! Kill it, I'll go help my teammates!"
"Meow" No problem!
Whirlwind took advantage of the fact that the number of rats surrounding them decreased and jumped out in an instant. After a few jumps, he disappeared into the shantytown.
Lianyi looked back and found that someone had successfully saved himself. The knife in his hand left an afterimage and was harvesting the mutant rats on his body. Those who didn't have time to swing the knife directly grabbed the rats and smashed them to the ground.
Lian Yi waved his hand, and the deadly thread extended infinitely, then covered everyone's head like a propeller and began to harvest mutant rats frantically.
Fifteen minutes later, everyone was free of the mutant rats, but the exposed skin was covered with wounds, and even the long-sleeved combat uniforms were chewed to pieces.
Yuan Chongming's team was in better condition, but they were all injured. Now Lianyi was the only one standing intact, and everyone looked a little embarrassed.
Situ Yi spat out a mouthful of blood, and then said to Yuan Chongming:
"Captain Yuan, this won't work. There are too many rats. It's probably difficult to complete the mission with only the forty or so of us. How about calling for backup?"
This was the most effective method he could think of.
"It's no use staying here. You guys should leave first. I'll go find Tornado and check out this place. It would be more convenient if I'm alone."
Lian Yi said directly.
Several captains finished checking their team members and came over. If it weren't for Lianyi's powerful weapon, they probably wouldn't be able to get rid of those mutant rats. Although they didn't want to admit it, if they continued to follow, they would be a burden.
"How confident are you that you can get away with it?"
Captain Lin Yi asked in a deep voice.
"Seventy percent."
"I agree that Ripples should go deeper, but we will wait for you at the speedboat. If you don't come back within an hour, we will go in to find you."
We are all comrades-in-arms and came out together. There is no reason to let Lianyi take the risk alone.
"Okay, I'll try to manage my time well. Don't relax either. In the eyes of those rats, you're all food. It's best to set up obstacles and be prepared for a fight."
After giving the instructions, Lianyi tightened his helmet, nodded to his teammates, turned around and ran into the alley.
After hearing Lianyi's words, the rest of the people did not sit idle either. They quickly withdrew from the shantytown, chose an open area to land, piled up stone bricks and door panels to build a fortification, and then stared nervously at the creepy narrow path.
Lian Li was no longer a burden, and the deadly thread directly enveloped him. Her running speed was constantly increasing. After running a certain distance, she would stop for two seconds, listen carefully, then adjust direction and continue moving forward.
The sound of "meow meow" guided the direction of Lianyi, and countless mutant rats rushed towards Lianyi along the way, almost drowning her.
However, due to the dense and sharp deadly threads, the mouse turned into a lifeless corpse the moment it fell. These mutated mice fearlessly swarmed from all directions, trying to slow down Ripple's pace.
The "meow" sound suddenly became louder, mixed with the angry little vibrato of Tornado.
The ripples continued to accelerate, and a tornado was seen in a courtyard without a wall in the deepest part of the shantytown.
Tornado was also in a bit of a mess at this time, as he was fighting with a mutant rat the size of a calf.
"Whirlwind, are you okay?"
Lianyi asked loudly as she leapt into the yard.
"Meow!"
Whirlwind, who was lying on the giant rat's back and scratching the other party, immediately responded and said that he was okay.
"You take care of the boss, and I'll take care of his little brothers. Let's finish this quickly!"
Lian Yi spoke up immediately.
"Meow!"Okay!
Ripple was like a human harvester, falling into the pile of rats and continuously harvesting their lives.
But she was not harvesting without purpose. Instead, she looked around while moving, and then threw some mutant rats onto the closed door. The moment the door was broken, she checked the situation inside.
Lianyi checked four rooms and her face became worse and worse, because there were nothing but bones everywhere, and the pungent fishy smell stimulated her sense of smell.
At this time, Tornado had been pinned down by the giant rat, and was about to bite off its head, but Tornado took the opportunity to aim his sharp claws at the other's softest belly, and struck out before the other could bite.
"squeak!!!"
The giant rat's shrill cry shook Lianyi's eardrums. She turned around immediately, just in time to see Tornado knocking the rat boss over with one claw and grabbing the other's belly with all four claws.
Lianyi immediately took a step forward, swung the dagger in his hand, and directly stabbed it into Rat Boss's head, ending his life instantly.
Tornado jumped off the opponent and leaped directly into the group of rats, starting to kill them all. Every time he used his claws, he could kill a mutant rat.
Lianyi retracted her dagger, found a bag, put Rat Boss's body in it and stuffed it into her backpack. She would take it back and hand it over to the research team stationed there.
"Tornado, come back! We are evacuating!"
Heeding the call of its cat master, Tornado swatted two mice to death before quickly jumping onto Lianyi's shoulder.
Lian Yi was very fast. She took out the time bomb from the space and started throwing it to the place where the rats were most concentrated. She set a five-minute delay for the explosion. Every time she ran a certain distance, she would reduce the time by ten seconds before throwing it out again.
Before she reunited with her teammates, the bomb in the deepest part of the shantytown began to explode, and then followed Lian Yi's footsteps all the way through the entire shantytown.
At this time, the members of the action team on the open ground fortifications were not having an easy time either. After Lian Yi left, the mutant rats attacked them.
Until the explosion sounded, the rats seemed to have received a call and retreated like a tide, heading straight for the center of the explosion.
Yuan Chongming's eyes darkened when he saw this, and he said to the members of the vanguard team:
"Let's go pick up Lian Yi!"
"yes!"
No one objected. After checking their guns and knives, everyone followed Yuan Chongming into the narrow road of the shantytown.
Yuan Chongming followed the retreating rat and just as he ran to the point where he was separated from Lianyi, Sun Weifeng saw the running Lianyi with his sharp eyes.
"Captain Yuan, it's Lianyi!"
Lianyi also saw them and immediately gave them a gesture. Everyone stopped immediately and quickly turned around and ran towards the landing place.
