Just as everyone in Longyuan was falling into despair, they all heard the sound of the rescue team's loudspeakers, the continuous sound of gunfire, and the endless roars and cries of animals.
Li Wei's eyes lit up, and he cautiously lifted the curtains again to look. Sure enough, the lions downstairs were attracted by the sound and quickly ran outside.
He listened carefully to the sounds outside, the deafening roar of artillery fire. He took a deep breath, made a decision, opened the door, and said, "I'm going out to take a look. You all wait for me at home, and don't make a sound."
Qian Li watched Li Wei nervously. She didn't want Li Wei to go, but she knew this was an opportunity to leave, so she didn't stop him.
Li Wei ran into Zhao Hui and his group as he went downstairs. They exchanged a glance and then cautiously ran outside together.
Upon arriving outside the residential area, three heavy military trucks were seen parked outside, each with a mortar mounted on its roof and surrounded by sturdy railings, forming a huge encirclement around the area.
There were still more than a dozen buses parked inside the encirclement, and more than a dozen machine guns set up outside the encirclement. There were also many soldiers fighting against the mutated animals with rifles and shotguns.
"roar!"
Among them were several lions that planned to settle in Longyuan. Some of the lions were the most ferocious and charged at a military truck. The soldiers on the truck knew that such beasts could not be taken down by ordinary firearms, so they did not hesitate to start the mortar on the truck. The shell collided head-on with the lions.
"boom!"
The lion's head was smashed by the mortar, and its huge body fell to the ground with a dull thud. The remaining three lionesses did not continue to attack, but instead slowly retreated.
They are extremely intelligent and know that the male lion is dead. They would suffer losses if they fought head-on, so they do not linger in battle.
The soldiers didn't hold back. If they let such a ferocious beast go, who knows how many people it would devour in the future!
Their machine guns fired rapidly, and their shotguns also aimed and fired. All three lionesses were seriously injured and turned to run away with a limp. Many other mutated animals around them were also hit by the machine gun fire and fell to the ground.
Some mutated animals become agile after mutation, even able to dodge bullets; others have thicker fur, so even if they are hit by bullets, they only suffer minor injuries.
Li Wei stood there for a minute, utterly shocked. He had always thought that these mutated animals were only growing in size, but he never expected that they were improving in every way. How were they going to fight these things in the future?
During the battle, both the soldiers and the mutated animals sustained injuries. Some of the mutated animals were quite intelligent and quickly fled when they realized they couldn't defeat the enemy.
Only a few low-IQ mutant animals, attracted by the abundant smell of blood and flesh, desperately tried to break into the encirclement.
"Listen up, survivors! We are from the official base in City B. The base is currently under construction. Anyone who wants to join, please gather downstairs. We will only wait for 15 minutes, after which we will leave..."
The loudspeaker on the military truck was playing this sentence on a loop. Li Wei and Zhao Hui exchanged a glance and then ran back. They only had fifteen minutes left, and they had to hurry.
Li Wei ran home quickly, grabbed Qian Li, held the child, and carried the few remaining supplies downstairs. A long line had already formed downstairs, and everyone wanted to follow the officials.
In the end, all the buses and even the heavy military trucks were full, but many people still didn't get on the bus.
"If any members of the public who did not board the bus wish to come with us to the official base, please follow us on foot. We will have people protecting us from the front and back, so please don't worry..."
The people in Building 3 of Longyuan couldn't squeeze onto the bus. Everyone carried their supplies and walked behind. There were mutated animals all around them, some of which were agile and would even ambush, quickly rushing over, grabbing a person, and leaving just as fast as they could, no matter how much machine gun fire came from behind.
"Da da da..."
Gunfire continued throughout the journey, but many mutated animals still followed the group.
Seeing this situation only strengthened everyone's resolve to follow the military. Under such protection, these mutated animals were so unrestrained. If they encountered them on their own, they would only become food for the mutated animals.
As the official vehicles passed through more and more places, more and more people followed behind the procession, which naturally attracted all sorts of mutated animals.
Li Wei, carrying Dou Dou in one arm and a supply bag in the other, quickened his pace to catch up with the group, while also keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings.
The mutated animals that attacked were a mixed bag: dogs, cats, snakes, wild boars, lizards, and even rabbits. The rabbits used to be docile and cute, but now they were bigger than Shiba Inus, with two large incisors that gleamed coldly, two thick hind legs, and incredibly fast movements.
He witnessed a grown man in the group being suddenly glared to death by a mutated rabbit, which showed how powerful the force was.
Qian Li, also carrying a supply bag, clung tightly to Li Wei's clothes and jogged to catch up. Her head was bowed low, as she didn't want to see the mutated monsters.
"We can't keep turning like this. If we continue, it will probably attract more mutated animals. We're running low on ammunition and must return to base quickly."
Ye Lin sat in the military truck, looking at the greedy eyes outside, and felt a chill run down his spine. He had never known that there were so many mutated animals in the urban area of B City, and that they could never be completely killed.
"yes!"
The rescue team marched forward in a large procession, reaching the edge of the city's borders where they met up with another rescue team.
Lin Ruo, who was following behind the rescue team, then realized that there was another rescue team. It was a pity that they hadn't been able to find the mutated animal carcasses.
