Li Xiao walked shakily across the bridge, and it was only thanks to Qiu Fengyu that he was pulled and dragged to the rooftop on the other side unharmed.
Once Li Xiao regained her footing, Tian Tian grabbed her arm.
Li Xiao then realized that she was covered in sweat.
A cold wind blew, and I shivered.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"
Seeing her shivering, Tian Tian quickly pulled her aside and asked.
Li Xiao took a breath and said, "It's nothing, it's just a bit cold."
"Yeah, it's a bit windy on the rooftop."
"Um."
At this moment, Qiu Fengyu stood in front of Li Xiao, blocking the wind from her.
Tian Tian was on the left and Zheng Yongnian was on the right, which blocked the wind from three sides.
Meanwhile, a fierce battle was still raging on the building opposite.
Yu Yanbin and Cheng Shaolin kept staring at the corridor, and Meng Yang and his companion also became tense.
Because we could already hear the sounds coming from the hallway.
Some of the pork was used to lure some out, but some was still left in the stairwell.
This part did not run downwards due to external attraction, but continued to chase upwards in the same direction as before.
After a large portion of it was taken away, there wasn't much left in the stairwell.
"Shao Jie, pay attention."
"Know!"
The two of them dared not breathe loudly, for fear of missing something.
As the sound grew louder, Meng Yang and Shao Jie aimed the rocket launcher at the stairwell.
As soon as the cat- and dog-sized rats showed themselves, Meng Yang and Shao Jie opened fire simultaneously.
Bang bang—.
The building shook.
They could feel the vibrations clearly from the rooftop where they were standing.
"We're running low on ammunition," Yu Yanbin said.
The rat that rushed up into the stairwell was stopped before it could even show its face.
Shells exploded one after another, bricks mixed with black chunks of flesh flew everywhere, and with a series of booming sounds, the building began to destabilize.
"Retreat!" Cheng Shaolin shouted.
"You guys retreat first!" Shao Jie said without turning his head.
Cheng Shaolin and Yu Yanbin fought and retreated, jumping onto the bridge and running towards the rooftop on the opposite side.
"Uncle Meng, hurry up and go get me over there."
Meng Yang understood, and carrying the rocket launcher, he ran after Yu Yanbin and the others.
Shao Jie bypassed the pork scraps that had been cut into millions of pieces and avoided the blood on the ground as he approached the bridge.
Meng Yang had already reached the other side and threw a rattan cane to entangle Shao Jie.
He pulled Shao Jie onto the bridge.
Even if the shells cause chaos and destruction, there will still be some that escape.
Ugly black mutant rats scurried in from the bombed ruins, their red eyes gleaming with greed and madness, perhaps drawn by the irresistible allure of the pork's blood.
"Shao Jie, hurry, they're coming up!"
The people on the other side watched with trepidation, while Shao Jie saw more and more rats drawn by the smell of blood heading towards the pork.
Seeing these things up close would only make you more terrified.
You can only see what it looks like up close. Besides being ugly, that fierce mole face is like a monster, with sharp teeth that gleam coldly. Just imagine how painful it would be if it bit you.
Shao Jie couldn't help but swallow.
There was fear, of course. Seeing so many rats up close, if even one rushed toward him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Seeing that the rats had completely covered the pile of pork, Shao Jie did not hesitate and fired a cannonball into the pile of rats with a bang.
A cloud of dust rose, followed by a scream, and then shattered stones and scattered pieces of mangled corpses.
After firing the first shot, Shao Jie immediately ran backward without even glancing back.
He was incredibly fast, and reached the other side in just a few breaths.
At this moment, Meng Yang fired a cannon at the bridgehead, while Cheng Shaolin and Yu Yanbin each fired a cannon at the rat swarm...
Almost simultaneously, a series of bangs rang out.
Everyone saw that the rooftop had been blasted open, and the top floor was almost completely gone; even the rats were nowhere to be seen.
Everyone was unsettled.
The six-story building now only has four floors left.
The ground floor was also dilapidated, with the walls riddled with holes and craters from the bombing, losing its former tranquility.
The snowy white scenery of winter is long gone.
The stones, mixed with filthy rat carcasses, muddy soil, and remnants of snow, created a somber and desolate atmosphere.
"Let's go, let's get out of here quickly." Yu Yanbin didn't want to watch any longer. They were still in danger, and leaving as soon as possible was the most important thing to do.
Everyone followed Yu Yanbin and began to retreat. No one could guarantee the outcome of this attempt to lure the enemy deep into their territory; retreating to save their lives was the best option.
Li Xiao learned from the map that the rats had not been completely eradicated, and some were still half-dead.
With her instructions, everyone grabbed their skis and sped off in a direction far away from here.
Behind them were dilapidated buildings. Li Xiao and his group glided quickly, circled around a few times, and then sped towards the base.
I've narrowly escaped death today, and I dare not linger any longer.
Never before have I felt such an urgent need for a safe haven.
That's probably why everyone's heading to the base.
An hour later, I returned to the base and greeted the soldiers at the entrance.
They were also told that there were mutated animals lurking outside the base, and that they must be extremely careful and take strict precautions.
The base was greatly shocked by their warnings and sent people to inquire about what had happened.
"Captain Yu, have you encountered a mutated animal?"
The captains of the second and third battalions of the base came together.
They were shocked when they heard the news.
"Yes, you saw it too. We made it back in a very sorry state."
