Hearing Liang Jiao's voice, everyone looked in the direction and felt awkward for a moment.
Liang Jiao's presence is too low, which is also related to his special abilities, causing everyone to forget about this person just now.
"Did Yu Qinglong really go to ask for help?" someone asked.
Liang Jiao snorted, "Of course, we Xincheng people won't run away from the battlefield!"
In fact, Liang Jiao had no idea whether Yu Qinglong had gone to ask for help. He himself even suspected that Yu Qinglong had run away.
But in front of everyone, he spoke with great confidence.
Seeing this, many people felt embarrassed for their previous doubts.
"Go get some help? How many days will it take for him to come back? By then, we might all be food for rats."
Someone couldn't help but murmur.
Everyone's faces turned ugly in an instant.
Their special powers have been almost exhausted at this moment. If these rats had not run away on their own, they would probably be in great danger now.
Although the silk spun by the mutant silkworms can corrode the mice, no matter how fast the mutant silkworms spit out silk, it cannot be as fast as the mice.
"Since Yu Qinglong has left, can we leave too?"
"Yeah, those rats have all run away. There's no point for us to stay here."
Cheng Qing walked out of the Rose Base and heard everyone talking. He frowned and said, "Who said the rats ran away? They just dug holes and hid."
Cheng Qing was born into a military family and was full of righteousness. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone fell silent.
Liang Jiao was startled and quickly looked towards the densely packed holes on the ground. He swallowed hard and asked, "Are they still hiding down there?"
Cheng Qing came over and said, "These rats probably fear the cold, so they hurriedly dug holes and hid before dark. They didn't take away the leftover meat and blood in the base, so there's no way they left."
The Rose Base was littered with blood and body parts. The rats would not give up so much food and run away.
Moreover, when the rats were digging holes in the ground, this group of people had almost reached their limit. If they were not afraid of the cold, they would have been finished if they had persisted for more than ten minutes.
Everyone's expressions were different, and none of them looked good.
They would rather the rats had escaped than hidden.
Everyone felt their scalps tingle when they thought of the dense swarms of rats under their feet.
It got dark quickly.
When everyone hesitated whether to leave or stay.
"Ah——" A wolf howl came from all directions.
Cheng Qing, who had encountered wolves before, suddenly changed his expression: "Oh no! Quick, fire-type mutants, start a fire!"
Upon hearing this, more than a dozen fire-type mutants immediately threw fireballs, which hovered around everyone, forming an encirclement.
Wolves surrounded them from all directions, and there were at least dozens of them.
Even though there was flames everywhere, they were still approaching this side step by step.
"Why are there wolves?"
"We didn't see any wolves in the mountains during the day."
"Where did this come from?"
The wolves stared at them with cold eyes, which made people shudder. At this moment, their supernatural powers were almost exhausted and they were no match for these wolves.
Liu Kai said with difficulty: "These wolves are probably afraid of the rats, so they don't show up during the day."
It is extremely cold at night and mice are afraid of the cold, but these wolves are not afraid, so they appear when it gets dark and the mice hide.
Under the gaze of the wolves, some people couldn't help but step back and try to escape.
Cheng Qing shouted, "Don't move!"
The man froze instantly.
Just at this moment, the power of a fire-type mutant was exhausted, and the fireball floating in the air suddenly went out.
This was like a signal. The leader wolf let out a roar, and the entire wolf pack pounced towards them like arrows.
In shock, the fireballs of several fire-type mutants went out one after another.
"Don't run! We can't outrun the wolves. If we run, we'll all be finished!" someone shouted nervously.
"Attack, attack quickly!"
"Defend! Quick!"
For creatures like wolves, the more ferocious and powerful you are, the more hesitant and the more afraid they will be to act rashly. On the contrary, once you show your weakness and timidity, they will rush over and bite you without hesitation.
Liang Jiao urged the silkworms to spin silk, hoping to use poisonous silk to deal with the wolves, but the silkworms had spit out too much silk to deal with the mice before, and they had not yet calmed down, so they could not spin any silk at all.
Liangjiao was dumbfounded.
All the psychics cooperated very well at this time. The earth-type psychics raised earth walls and earth spikes to block the wolves, and the plant-type psychics created a field of thorns around them.
However, their supernatural powers have been exhausted, so the earth walls and thorns are very fragile, and the thorns are not high enough.
Then the wolves that were rushing over jumped up at the edge and rushed inside.
"Sound wave! Hurry!" Liang Jiao's frozen brain reacted in fear and he shouted quickly.
The lazy silkworms who didn't want to move all looked up at the wolves rushing towards them.
"squeak--"
The harsh sound spread out, and the more than seventy psychics in the encirclement only felt it was a bit harsh and a little uncomfortable.
The wolves that jumped out of the air were attacked by the sound waves, and blood instantly oozed out of their ears. Their bodies twitched a few times in mid-air, and they were unable to jump into the encirclement and fell straight down from mid-air.
Puff——
Some wolves fell into thorns, and some wolves fell into thorn bushes.
"Awoo——"
The wolf, whose body was pierced by thorns, howled in pain, and the wolves behind it that had not yet rushed over immediately stopped.
Their green eyes stared straight at this side, the corners of their mouths were pulled back, revealing sharp teeth, and threatening sounds came from their throats.
While the wolves were frightened by the sound waves from the silkworms and dared not act rashly, Cheng Qing commanded other psychics to pursue them.
All of a sudden, dense wind blades and water arrows shot towards the wolf pack.
Seeing that this group of prey was still very strong, the wolves became a little anxious. They were also afraid of the sonic attack just now. Although they bared their teeth and howled at the crowd, they moved their limbs and gradually retreated.
When they were far enough away from the crowd, the wolves turned around and ran away with their tails between their legs.
The wolves retreated.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sat limply on the ground, not even having the strength to move.
"We need to find a safe place to rest." A person with special abilities took out a crystal core and put it into his mouth.
Everyone immediately looked at him. Because all the zombies had gathered in the new city, it was now very difficult to obtain crystal cores. Now that someone took out a crystal core, everyone was jealous.
The man shuddered at being stared at, and said with a wry smile, "These are all crystal cores I've saved for several years..."
As he spoke, his eyes darkened. This was the crystal core in his wife's brain. He would not eat it unless it was absolutely necessary.
But now, the situation is critical and his supernatural powers are exhausted. If he doesn't eat, and there is more danger, he will die.
"Let's rest here. It might be more dangerous if we leave now." Cheng Qing looked solemnly at the direction where the wolves left.
The wolf that fell among the thorns and brambles was completely dead, and blood was dripping out.
Cheng Qing's words made everyone's heart tighten, and then they felt the ground shaking.
The rumbling sound that seemed to overturn the ground was so terrifying that everyone stared at the ground at the same time.
Liu Kai's face turned pale: "Is it - a rat?"
When they heard the word mouse, everyone panicked.
"How is that possible? Aren't mice afraid of the cold? They should be hiding in their burrows right now. Why would they come out?"
Cheng Qing frowned. "Animals have very sensitive hearing and can hear sounds that humans can't. I guess they were affected by the sonic attack launched by the mutant silkworms just now."
Just as he finished speaking, a huge rat emerged from a hole and rushed towards this side with a whoosh.
Cheng Qing narrowed his eyes, and several arrows condensed in front of him and shot towards the places where rat heads appeared in all directions.
He was fast and accurate, and every arrow hit the mouse's brain.
But it was useless, because before a few rats fell down, rats emerged from other holes. They were even more crazy than when they attacked the Rose Base before.
The psychics who still had some strength left did not dare to be careless and stood up to deal with the rats.
Liang Jiao was holding the silkworms in his arms. At this moment, the silkworms were completely exhausted and lay listlessly in Liang Jiao's arms. This was mainly because they had consumed too much energy during the day, so they could only launch one sonic attack.
"Why do I feel like these rats are completely crazy?" Liang Jiao said in a low voice.
"Damn it, you still have the nerve to ask? If your mutant silkworms hadn't launched a sonic attack, would it have stimulated them? They must have been driven crazy by the sonic attack!"
Apparently, everyone noticed that the rats were even crazier than before.
"Shut up! What are you cursing about? No one could have imagined that it would irritate these rats!"
"Now is not the time to shirk responsibility. Stop fighting among yourselves!"
There were more and more rats, and they surrounded them in an instant. The thorns and earth walls could not stop them at all. Without the silkworm's poisonous net, it was much more difficult for them to deal with these rats than before.
In addition, his supernatural powers had already been exhausted, and the situation was very bad.
"Ah--" Zeng Hai let out a miserable scream. His arm was bitten by a rat, and the sharp teeth instantly pierced his flesh.
The space suddenly fluctuated, and Yu Qinglong and Fan Xin appeared out of thin air.
The moment she appeared, white mist filled the surroundings, and the mice that were originally squeaking wildly turned into ice sculptures.
Including the rat that bit Zeng Hai's hand.
Everyone was so exhausted and desperate that they couldn't react. The next moment, all the mice fell to the ground in pieces like broken glass.
Zeng Hai was desperate when he was bitten by the rat. He thought he would die there and the best outcome would be losing an arm.
But the ferocious rat in front of him was torn into pieces, leaving only a deep wound on his arm.
Zeng Hai was stunned for a long time, then looked at his arm which was still intact on his body, and said ecstatically: "It's okay, I'm okay! My hand is still there, it's still there! Did you see it? My hand, my hand is still there!!"
Yu Qinglong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the rats being dealt with in an instant. When he first arrived here, he broke out in a cold sweat when he saw that scene.
If all the people sent by the seven major bases died here, it would be difficult to explain when we return.
Fan Xin walked towards the rat hole and frowned when she looked at it.
When Liang Jiao saw Fan Xin coming, she was no longer afraid. She ran over with the silkworm in her arms, very tactlessly: "Sister, you are finally here. Oh, these mice are scary. Oh, by the way, the silkworm seems to be in a bad condition..."
Fan Xin glanced at him, said nothing, and directly put all the silkworms into the space.
When she handed the silkworms to Liang Jiao, she asked someone to find other mutant mulberry trees to plant in the farm, and the mutant mulberry trees planted in the space are still there.
This mutant mulberry tree is larger than the mulberry trees outside, and one tree can accommodate all the silkworms.
Cheng Qing walked over with a pale face. Seeing Fan Xin observing the rat holes, he asked, "City Lord, are those rats..."
Fan Xin nodded: "Yes, a mouse escaped."
"Escaped, escaped?" Hearing Fan Xin's words, the others widened their eyes in horror.
They had already witnessed the horror of mutant rats, not just mutant rats, but also mutant wolves. Perhaps other mutant animals would appear in the future.
Everyone shuddered at the thought of the mutated animals that might appear.
"Can you catch up?" Cheng Qing asked, pursing her lips.
The mutant rats escaped, with horrific consequences.
Fan Xin shook his head: "They've already run far away. When these rats went crazy and attacked you, the rats that didn't go crazy fled, and they ran away in different directions."
With so many mice escaping in different places, even Fan Xin couldn't catch them all.
"Let's go back first."
A few days later, everyone returned to the new city. The people from the seven major bases did not take a break and immediately rushed back to their own bases to bring back the news of the mutant rats.
The tragic situation at the Rose Base and the terror of the mutant rats caused panic in all bases.
Anyone with a little common sense, even if they don't know the specific reproduction rate of mice, knows that mice reproduce very quickly.
The Rose Base has been destroyed by rats, so which base will be affected next?
No one wants their base to become the next Rose Base. The most important thing is that even with so many psychics in the Rose Base, they can't stop the rats. Can their bases do it?
Even if the New City Lord could deal with these mutant rats, who knew if they could send out a distress signal in time? And even if they did, would the New City Lord be able to arrive in time?
Many small bases, even their leaders, who heard the news, hurriedly packed up their bags and rushed towards the new city.
At present, I am afraid that only the new city is the safest.
As for the zombies in the new city?
How many people now regret not joining the Starry Sky Base? Especially those who had been sent to the Starry Sky Base and left, they were regretting it so much that their intestines turned green.
At that time, joining the Starry Base not only gave you a room, but also free food.
What about now? To join Xincheng, not only must someone be recommended by a Xincheng resident, but you must also go through a one-year probation period before you can officially register.
However, even with such strict conditions now, a large number of people are still flocking to the new city.
The leader's timid bases have basically been merged into the new city. Even if they can only live in the outer city now, it is still safer than other places, isn't it?
But more bases are still waiting and watching.
There is no distinction between high and low in the New City. Whether it is a zombie, an ordinary person, or a person with super powers, everyone is on an equal footing under the New City Code.
This makes it difficult for many people with special abilities who are used to being superior to others to adapt.
Moreover, base leaders who join the new city will no longer enjoy the preferential treatment of leaders, which makes many leaders resist joining the new city.
