“Woo~” “Woo~” “Woo~”…
The thorns bring up the sound of wind in the night sky, and it is not difficult to imagine their power.
The spikes flashed cold light under the searchlight, bringing up a cloud of blood every time they passed by. Mixed with the screams of the rats and the surrounding electric light, it created a picture of hell.
Is this why these rats are fleeing underground?
As soon as this question arose, they had no time to think about it.
Because of the appearance of the death-taking thorns, countless rats have gone crazy!
If the enhanced light from the arc trap and the large number of humans around them had made them shrink back, now they were rushing out of the encirclement as if they wanted to die quickly.
"Fire~!"
At the officer's command, the armed police officers in the front row carrying spray guns pulled the triggers, which were already covered in sweat.
Violent flames gushed out, igniting the rats that were stepping on their own kind to escape from hell with their high temperatures.
Those that escaped were all smaller rats, while none of the seemingly terrifying giant rats could get out. They either fell into the electric arc traps or were killed by thorns.
The fierce, high-temperature flames swayed left and right, igniting the rats like sweeping the floor.
Small mice simply cannot withstand this kind of damage, and nearly half of their bodies will be roasted in just a few seconds.
The aroma of roasted meat filled the entire place.
Although it was disgusting, the situation that worried the armed police soldiers, civilian police and firefighters did not occur, and the rats were almost unable to escape the blockade formed by the incendiary bombs and spray guns.
Even though the number of rats was terrifying, they were not endless. After a few minutes, they were no longer able to keep up, at least none of them could break out of the electric arc circle.
The constant noise of the rats tonight gradually died down.
But this does not mean that we can relax, because the terrible thorns are still dancing and killing the mice that are still alive near the manhole cover.
It was like a finishing blow on the battlefield, piercing through the skull quickly and efficiently.
"How long will it take for the special herbicide to be delivered?"
"It's too late. It happened so suddenly. It took more than ten minutes for the institute to load the truck. Even if it's faster, it will take several hours to airdrop."
Liu Yue clenched his fists, and his fingers made a crackling sound.
"What about the Air Force?"
"The fighter jets have taken off from the nearest base and are expected to reach the attack range in 8 minutes... But we are too close, and a direct attack from high-powered weapons will affect us..."
When Huang Jiutian answered, the nervousness on his face was not fake at all.
However, unlike Liu Yue's anxiety and fear about the mutated thorns, Jiutian was under tremendous pressure from this adventure.
It is very likely that if Mumu is not careful, he will be attacked at all costs.
For the special security team, regardless of the current danger, compared to the rats in the underground of Shanghai, this unknown and terrifying plant is more worrying.
There is still a large part of the remains of this thorn in the laboratory in the capital. Could the one that appeared in Shanghai be the same species?
If so, does it mean that this horrible plant has already reached a certain scale of reproduction throughout China?
When Tao Xingzhi received this latest notification, he did not even carry out the important reporting work at hand and rushed directly from the Ministry of National Defense to the airport.
He gave only one cruel order.
"Even if everyone dies, Huang Jiutian must be brought out!"
No preparation. Yes, compared to the time in Rong Town, this time neither the Shencheng military and police nor the special security team were prepared at all.
On the open space where the bright red rat blood was flowing, the last rat cry disappeared.
The scene fell completely silent.
As if they had just realized some key information, all the searchlights and vehicle lights on the scene were turned off under the latest order, and even the surrounding street lights dimmed.
The scene seemed to be frozen, the thorns did not move, and the people in the encirclement did not dare to open fire rashly.
Although delaying time is beneficial to his side, Liu Yue is still full of doubts.
"Why don't they eat the corpses of the absorbed rats and return to the sewers? Jiutian, can you feel anything?"
In the darkness, Liu Yue asked in a low voice while turning to look at Jiutian and found that the latter was so nervous that his hair was wet with sweat.
He really wanted to carry out Tao Xingzhi's order, but the whole place was relatively still, and Jiutian told him from his perception that the mutated plants were now highly sensitive, so he didn't want to and couldn't move at this time.
"Brother Liu, tell everyone not to fire. Remember what I said last time, that thing on the other side has intelligence..."
Even though they were mentally prepared, the people from the special security team nearby were still frightened.
“Are they really the same category?”
"No, rather than being of the same kind... it's more like the same thorn..."
All eyes were focused on Jiutian.
The same plant? That plant should have been killed by the earth-penetrating missile!
When things were getting extremely tense, something absolutely unexpected happened.
"Human... my patience has its limits!"
A slightly vicissitudes of life voice suddenly echoed throughout the entire area, and the lingering sound seemed to cause a special resonance in the air, causing everyone's eardrums to itch slightly.
"Say, did you speak?"
Liu Yue heard more than one inhalation at this time. Everyone's face was filled with disbelief, and there were also whispers of surprise among the officers and soldiers outside, with suspected words such as "monster" being whispered to each other.
"Please don't point your hot weapons at me, I'm just a plant after all!"
Oh shit!
The content of this sentence is not surprising, but at this moment this novel way of expression makes everyone unable to think of other words except "WTF" in their hearts.
Mumu was terrified. It would have been fine if it was just those people holding fire pokers, but he also had a premonition of unavoidable danger that told him that he could get hit hard at any time.
Qin Xiaoxia's note "a little imposing but not too arrogant" quickly deteriorated into being weak inside when the second sentence came out of Mumu's mouth.
The sound, the context, and even the tone of the language were easily recognized by the surrounding special security team and all the soldiers.
"It just used honorifics..."
"Uh-huh..."
Jiutian pulls the collar of the uniform.
"Brother Liu, I suggest that we negotiate with this mutated thorn."
I don’t know why, but when everyone heard the words “I am just a plant after all,” they felt a lot more relaxed.
…
The rooftop of a shopping mall construction site is just a hundred meters away.
Looking at Mumu not far away, Doudou slapped his hands on his face.
"This idiot!"
Su Su was laughing so hard that she could hardly stand up straight.
“The skill was broken in one second, the skill was broken in one second, hahahahahaha… uh…”
Suddenly seeing Qin Xiaoxia's expressionless face, Su Meizi immediately stopped smiling and forced herself to be serious again.
"Forget it, this might work better."
Qin Xiaoxia was also helpless. Mumu was the most convenient and suitable person for the job of exterminating rats in sewers.
As for the others, well, they either don’t have enough magic power or find it disgusting, and besides, the tree shepherds are lucky enough, so there will be enough time to rescue them if any emergency happens.
So despite being extremely reluctant, Mumu was still sent here.
…
"Who are you? Why are you in the sewers of Shencheng?"
Huang Jiutian used a loudspeaker to communicate with Jingzhi on the opposite side, but he and Liu Yue were in the command vehicle together, and the loudspeaker was confusingly on the other side of the encirclement.
Mumu felt a little regretful after saying that just now. Although there was a script, Qin Xiaoxia could not have anticipated all situations, so the dialogue was just a general guess, and some requirements were mentioned. Mumu improvised the rest.
But then again, on-the-spot performance was never its strong point, and it lost its momentum in an instant.
At this moment, Mumu didn't feel that his master was angry, and after hearing Huang Jiutian's words, he let himself go.
"What am I? Can't you see that I am a thorn? I am in this dirty and smelly sewer because the Sage ordered me to kill all these rats!"
I didn't expect to get a response so quickly, and the effect of the conversation exceeded my expectations.
Liu Yue and Huang Jiutian looked at each other.
"Ask if it's the one from Rongzhen."
Huang Jiutian nodded and asked again about the possibility he had raised before.
When hearing this question, Mumu immediately recalled the painful experience, and felt fear and anger all of a sudden.
Because Qin Xiaoxia found out that the magic vine he raised had killed many people at that time, he released its "blood" for three days to irrigate the crystal mine as a punishment.
Each subsequent reason for "bloodletting" was accompanied by a high-sounding excuse of atonement.
God have mercy on it. Although it didn't care about these two-legged creatures when it first came into this world, a shepherd would not be distracted by watching the sheep grazing. At most, it is a management responsibility!
Mumu felt aggrieved but didn't dare to vent it to Qin Xiaoxia. Instead, these guys started to question the victim.
"You still have the nerve to ask?? You still have the nerve to ask??"
Maybe he is not a good actor when it comes to on-the-spot performance, but Mumu has a strong sense of substitution and now he has completely put himself in the "dawn" of justice.
"I had just arrived underground when the Dark Realm Demonic Vine appeared. I didn't have time to attack, but I was hit hard for no reason... You didn't even say hello!!"
A strong sense of grievance! The self-image of a person who ran to the rescue at the order of the sage but was shot in the back has been engraved in Mumu's heart.
The scene and the command vehicle suddenly became eerily quiet.
