Chapter 92 Sudden Death
Animal mutations are sometimes even more powerful than human superpowers.
Plus they are uncontrollable.
It is definitely an existence that cannot be underestimated.
Ye Xi felt that this time, there was more than just the mutant cat in this wave of mutant rats.
Because cats are not the only animals that eat mice.
"Then the crystal cores in the brains of these mutant mice..."
Pei Hongqing thought that maybe he could collect some now.
Ye Xi poked up one of the rat corpses and turned it over. He saw a hole in the rat's brain.
"Obviously, the one that can spray poison and kill the mutant rat instantly also takes away the crystal core directly."
Since it is hunting, there must be trophies.
This is not surprising.
Pei Hongqing frowned, looked at her, and asked, "Then continue to look in the direction of M City?"
"Um."
The thing that is more troublesome for Ye Xi is.
They want to go to City B, and they have to pass through City M in front of them before they can continue on their journey.
But the current situation in City M is even more chaotic than she had imagined.
It’s okay for mutant mice and mutant cats to fight.
How come there are other creatures joining in?
Has M City become a breeding ground for poisonous insects?
Ye Xi quickly turned around and got into the car.
Pei Hongqing continued driving forward.
Through the rearview mirror, they could also see Ji Chu and others driving right behind them.
Neither of them paid any attention.
What they care about now is the situation in M City.
The closer the car got to City M, the more distinct the feeling of dead silence became.
The corpses of mutant rats can be seen everywhere on the ground!
And without exception, they all have a hole in their brains and their crystal cores have been taken away.
Puff——
The tires ran over the dead rat.
The sounds came one after another.
Pei Hongqing simply increased his speed and headed straight for the city.
-
The other side.
Ji Chu was in the car.
Tang Yuan looked at the corpses of the mutant rats on the road and felt unwell. "How could there be so many?"
Shao Xuan was also puzzled, "We didn't seem to have encountered that many before, right?"
"Rat tide. Shen Yingcheng said so."
Ji Chu frowned and said, "Anyway, when we go to City M, you must be extremely vigilant and follow Pei Hongqing and Ye Xi closely."
Tang Yuan watched the car in front of him speed up and directly run over the dead rat. He hurriedly said, "Brother Chu, let's speed up too. Otherwise, we will be left behind by them."
"Um."
Ji Chu responded and stepped on the accelerator immediately.
He caught up with Pei Hongqing's car for a distance.
Half an hour later.
Both cars entered the area of M City.
The number of visible mutant rat corpses is increasing!
Not only that, they also saw a lot of zombie corpses.
The corpses all had marks from being bitten by mutant rats.
Moreover, the mutant rats specifically dug out eyeballs to eat, and most of the corpses were missing eyeballs.
Ye Xi felt a little disgusted when he saw it.
She had read research materials about mutant mice before. In fact, these creatures like to eat human brains, but they just dig into the eyeballs to get their favorite delicacy.
The eyeballs are just an extra spice.
So the mutant rat tide didn't even spare the zombies.
Not to mention living people.
The flesh and blood of living people is also delicious to them.
The car didn't stop.
After entering the city, continue driving forward.
Mainly because of the current situation, it is much safer to sit in the car than outside.
They just came to check the situation in City M, there was no need to get off the car and take risks.
After walking for a distance, we found some living mutant rats still jumping up and down.
But at this moment, they are more like headless flies.
When he sees a moving car, he rushes up and scratches it.
Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of metal scraping outside.
Pei Hongqing stopped the car, grabbed the alcohol bottle next to him, lit it, and threw it out.
Bang!
Flames exploded.
“Squeak!”
The mutant rats scattered in an instant.
Even during the day, they are terrified of the heated fire.
The car drove a few more kilometers.
Apart from the corpses of mutant rats and zombies, nothing else was found.
Pei Hongqing even followed the road and drove to the supermarket square where he had found the mutant cat before.
But all I saw was a mess and some scattered hair and fur.
Ye Xi narrowed his eyes and identified it at a glance, "It's all cat hair. Even if it's a level 4 mutant cat, it can't withstand the attack of so many mutant mice. Even if it's still alive, it's probably a bald cat."
Pei Hongqing was speechless and asked her, "If the mutant mouse kills the level 4 mutant cat and gets the level 4 crystal core, will the mutant mouse evolve to level 4?"
"It's the same principle as when we absorb crystal core energy. Even if it's a level three zombie crystal core, if you absorb it at level three, it won't give you any further breakthroughs. At most, it will give you full energy. If you want to break through, you must find a level four crystal core."
"Even if I use two level three crystal cores, there's no way I can break through the level four barrier?"
"Yes. If you're lucky enough to find a level five zombie core, it's best not to use it, as it could very well result in your sudden death."
Pei Hongqing understood what Ye Xi said.
Why did he die suddenly?
The network of supernatural powers they possess expands as their levels increase.
It's like a plastic bag, it can only hold so much. If you try to force more into it, it will burst.
The principle behind supernatural meridians is similar to the meridians in the human body.
Once it breaks, doesn't that mean the person is dead?
"If you want to improve further, you need to find a fourth-level crystal core..."
Pei Hongqing frowned. This was a huge challenge for them.
Ye Xi saw through his thoughts and said calmly, "With your team's current strength, you really can't take down a mutant level 4 cat, but you can probably take down a level 4 zombie. That's if you're lucky enough to encounter one."
According to the time period of the previous life.
It has been just over a month since the end of the world.
Just like humans, zombies need time to mutate and upgrade.
And she was reborn, and within less than a week, she told Shen Yingcheng and others about the crystal core.
In just one week, they were upgraded to third-level psychics, which put them a great distance away from other psychics.
"If this accident hadn't happened, we might have been able to find other mutant zombies in M City, but now it seems we should leave M City first."
The car slowly stopped. Pei Hongqing looked at the pile of corpses blocking the road ahead and felt a headache.
This means that they need to clear the road before passing through City M.
Thinking of this, he asked Ye Xi again: "How do you feel now?"
"I can't tell."
Ye Xi frowned and opened the car window, then smelled a strong stench coming from outside, which made him feel very sick.
"We can only confirm that the mutant rat tide is over. As for whether we'll encounter other mutant beasts as we advance, there's no guarantee. But a longer delay doesn't necessarily mean a better outcome. The fact that this city was hit by the mutant rat tide once means there will be a second one. After all, rats come in droves, and their numbers far exceed our imagination."
In short, it is best for them to pass through City M quickly now that the first wave of mutant rats is over, otherwise more accidents will occur and the danger will increase!
Pei Hongqing understood what she meant and said in a deep voice, "Okay, then let's go back first. Let's get everyone ready to go through M City!"
-
The other side.
In Ji Chu's car.
Tang Yuan watched Pei Hongqing's car start to turn back and wondered, "They're going back now without looking for anything?"
Ji Chu was also confused.
Although M City looks like a mess now, it doesn't feel as dangerous as before. Maybe it's okay to collect some supplies by the way.
He said to the two of them in a deep voice, "Tang Yuan and Pei Hongqing will go back by car first. Shao Xuan and I will stay here to collect some more supplies."
Otherwise, when Shen Yingcheng and others come later, they will divide everything up!
