The convoy stopped about one kilometer away from the grain depot.
Two hundred armed soldiers disembarked and assembled in front.
Behind them were more than 300 shelter survivors who had absorbed energy crystals and possessed strength at levels one to two.
Most of these people had already been persuaded and subdued by Zhang Yu and were willing to follow his command.
In return, they received a surge in resources within the shelter, including energy crystals and supplies.
The group slowly approached the granary, and the commotion quickly attracted a swarm of rats to emerge from inside.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The soldiers, who were prepared, stopped several hundred meters away.
He began firing rhythmically from his rifle.
However, even a level one mutated beast will die instantly if it is hit in the head by a bullet.
However, the level 2 mutant rats skillfully evaded vital points.
The bullet hit other parts of the body, which was not fatal, but it still quickly approached the soldier.
When they got within about 200 meters, the soldiers with assault rifles began to concentrate their fire on the advancing level 2 mutant rats.
Soon, the nearly one thousand rats that had charged out were all killed, and the soldiers continued to advance.
In contrast to the survivors of Dawn City who were fighting individually with guns at their sides, Sun Jianjun's soldiers appeared to be well-trained.
They coordinated well and hardly wasted any ammunition.
Sun Jianjun and several other third-level soldiers followed behind the advancing soldiers.
If a more advanced mutant rat appears, they will be responsible for stopping it from rushing into the ranks of soldiers and disrupting their formation.
After advancing another two hundred meters, Qin Yi's ears twitched as he heard some noises from underground.
"Watch out underground, those mutated rats are really good at digging!"
Sun Jianjun issued several orders, and the soldiers advanced in several staggered rows, keeping watch on each other.
Sure enough, a large number of mutated rats suddenly sprang out from the ground.
The nearest mutated rat was only twenty or thirty meters away from the soldier.
However, the soldiers, who were already prepared, did not panic. They covered each other and quickly broke through the mutated rats' ambush.
At this moment, Qin Yi began to miss the feeling of going out on missions with Huang Zhao.
No matter what happens, it can be detected through mental perception, and there is never any fear of being ambushed.
Qin Yi, recalling the scene when they dealt with the mutated rat swarm, reminded Sun Jianjun:
"We don't know how many rats there are. If we find that the losses are too great, they may escape."
Their goal for this operation was to completely eradicate the entire rat population.
Hearing Qin Yi's words, Sun Jianjun also felt a bit of a headache.
Because they didn't know the number of mutated rats, they dared not spread out, fearing they would be picked off one by one.
However, if they gather together, they cannot stop the rats from escaping.
Moreover, rats can burrow underground to hide, making it difficult for them to deal with the underground rat population.
For a moment, Sun Jianjun found himself in a dilemma.
"The rats obey the rat king's orders. As long as we keep the rat king occupied, the rats will not leave."
"Keep pushing forward. I'll take care of the Rat King later."
Qin Yi had experience dealing with gregarious mutant beasts, and Sun Jianjun thought for a while and decided to listen to him.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you in a bit."
It's unknown how long these mutated rats had been developing in the grain warehouse.
In just over ten minutes, the soldiers had killed nearly two thousand mutated rats.
A considerable number of rats continued to emerge from all directions, seemingly endless.
The soldiers fired incessantly, quickly killing the surging zombies.
Gunfire erupted in the outskirts of Shanghai, carrying for a considerable distance.
"ah!!"
"Help!!"
As they advanced to the right flank of the position, several soldiers suddenly lost their footing and fell into a pit.
A chilling sound of bones breaking and a painful scream drew the attention of the other soldiers.
A mutated rat, nearly ten meters long and still three meters tall even when lying on the ground, leaped out of a hole in the ground.
The soldiers turned their guns on the Rat King and pulled the triggers to fire.
