Battle, at the Critical Moment

They had keen senses of smell and sharp teeth.

They could be used to find certain things.

They could also be used to deal with certain things.

"Go."

Gray said in a low voice.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

As if it understood him, the Corpse-Eating Rat raised itself and sniffed ahead.

Then, it darted out at high speed.

Its body was small, but it was extremely agile and faster than an ordinary rat.

It soon slipped into the police station.

Gray used his bloodied finger to draw a few strokes across his brow, leaving a spot of blood there.

Very quickly, his vision connected with that of the Corpse-Eating Rat.

The Corpse-Eating Rat avoided the police officers and entered the police station.

It sniffed around, confirmed the location, and soon found the break room.

Inside the break room, it saw Zhong Hong's family.

Naturally, Gray saw them as well.

A smile curled across his lips. "Found you."

Luo Tong set the child down on a chair. After holding them for so long, her arms had begun to ache, so she could only put the child down and stretch her arms.

Zhong Feng shifted slightly but remained deeply asleep. The corners of his eyes were still red, clearly showing that he had cried earlier.

Zhong Zhu did not sleep as soundly. The moment she was set down, she woke up.

"Mom? Where did Dad go?"

Though the children had not witnessed that scene with their own eyes, in their childish confusion, they could sense that something had happened at home.

That was why both of them were extremely uneasy, constantly demanding to see their father.

Luo Tong had only just managed to coax them to sleep not long ago.

"Be good, sweetheart. Sleep a little longer. We'll see your father very soon."
