An unexpected encounter with a pursuing rat tide

"It's good that you're alright." Qian Ye smiled.

He looked behind him.

Mentor Huang led a group of students over.

They saw it Qingqing from the fifth-floor window just now; the C-class monster was killed by Qian Ye with a single strike.

She doubted whether he was really her high school classmate, as Xu Xin claimed.

Xu Xin didn't explain; she knew what she was doing.

They were also shocked. Qian Ye was so powerful that he killed Advanced Beast General monster that even Captain Bai and the others couldn't defeat with a single strike.

They were impressed by him.

At the same time, I'm also curious about his identity and why he's so powerful.

At this moment, Fatty Guo was already enthusiastically dissecting the C-rank monster's parts, saying to Qian Ye, "Brother Ye, this Long-Haired Giant Bear is full of treasures, especially the C-rank ones, which are priceless. Selling them at the HR Alliance's underground mall will make us a fortune."

Bai Jierou didn't come to help, not because she didn't want to, but because she needed to check the surroundings for any monsters approaching, for everyone's safety.

Qian Ye isn't interested in monsters, but it's true they can fetch a lot of money.

"Ding! Master, congratulations on checking in at the Jiangnan Wilderness Area! Reward: Blind Vat +1! (Note: The item has been stored in the System Space. Please check it.)"

The system features a loli voice.

Qian Ye smiled slightly and accepted it.

Fatty Guo's movements as he sliced the monster were swift and skillful; he was clearly a veteran.

Previously, I had only been fighting small monsters on the edge of the wilderness; this was my first time venturing deep into the wilderness.

It was my first time facing a powerful Class C monster, and I'm still incredibly excited. 😲♖ Claw 🎁🔥

After the monster was cut up, Fatty Guo looked at Qian Ye and said, "Brother Ye, the monster is done cutting up, hurry up and pack it up. It'll be in high demand when we get back to the HR Alliance underground mall, and we can get a good price for it."

Qian Ye nodded, and with a wave of his hand, the C-rank monster materials on the ground vanished.

Then Fatty Guo went to dismantle the corpses of the H-rank, G-rank, and F-rank monsters he had killed.

Meanwhile, Mentor Huang was leading his students in collecting the RR Virus from the monster's body.

Qian Ye found a rock, sat down, and watched the busy crowd.

For him now, the dangers of a wilderness area are nothing to worry about.

Even if it's an SS-class monster, I didn't take it seriously.

"Brother Ye, the treasures from those F-level monsters are ready. Why don't you put them away?" Fatty Guo, stepping forward again.

Qian Ye: "You guys got these, you can just keep them yourself."

"But..."

Qian Ye waved his hand, interrupting him.

"Okay, Brother Ye." Fatty Guo was a sensible man; a strongman like him wouldn't bother with the treasures of these low-level monsters.

At the same time, knowing that he wasn't the kind of person who would eat his fill without caring about others, and that he would share some of the spoils with him, she admired him even more and happily put away the treasures from the monsters.

At this moment, Bai Jierou walked over to him and sat down next to him.

Then she turned to look at him and said, "Qian Ye, thank you for saving my life."

Qian Ye glanced at her. "Yeah, it was nothing. After all, you were protecting Xu Xin and the others. Xu Xin is my friend, so it's normal for me to protect you in return."

"But you're so young, how come you already possess the strength of Wargod?"

"It's a secret." Qian Ye had no intention of explaining.

Bai Jierou smiled and had no choice but to change the subject, "This time you not only saved me and Fatty, but also everyone else. I will definitely report this truthfully to the HR Alliance manager when I get back, and you will receive a reward."

Qian Ye doesn't care.

That's not why I came.

"Ding! Master, congratulations on checking in with Goddess Bai Jierou! Reward: Blind Vat +1!"

The system features a loli voice.

Qian Ye nodded and accepted it with a smile.

Soon after, Mentor Huang and his students returned from collecting RR Virus. They rested for a while, ate some of the dry food they had brought, and then planned to return the way they came.

Mentor Huang originally wanted to collect more samples of the monsters before returning, but he had just experienced a life-or-death situation, during which four members of the Moth Squad died.

Captain Bai and Fatty Guo almost died at the hands of the C-class monster.

Next, the C-class monsters will definitely gang up on these students who aren't even Prospective Fighter; it's too dangerous.

Fortunately, they encountered Xu Xin's classmate on the way, who was also a strong person. He not only saved Captain Bai and Fatty, but also killed a C-level monster.

"Qian Ye, thank you so much. If you hadn't killed that C-rank monster, my students, Captain Bai, and I would have been in grave danger." Mentor Huang thanked Qian Ye profusely.

"Yes! Qian Ye, you're amazing!"

"Uh-huh..."

The students expressed their gratitude to him, looked at him with new respect, and regarded him as their lifeline.

Qian Ye smiled but didn't say anything.

Squeak squeak squeak~

Suddenly, a strange noise immediately caught everyone's attention.

Squeak squeak squeak~

Squeak squeak squeak squeak...

Then the sounds increased and grew louder.

What... what was that sound?

"It seems to be getting closer and closer, with a series of sounds."

"Oh no... Look over there!" A student pointed and patted the stairwell on the right.

As everyone looked, they saw countless things appearing in the distance, rushing towards them at high speed. They were densely packed, a dark mass, so numerous that they were impossible to count.

"Captain... Oh no, it's a mutated rat swarm!" Fatty Guo immediately recognized that these things moving on foot and rapidly were none other than a dark, dense mass of mutated rats, numbering in the hundreds of millions.

You should know that in the wilderness, the most terrifying thing is not a C-class monster, nor a B-class monster, nor even an A-class monster, but a swarm of mutated rats.

They win by sheer numbers, traveling in hordes, with most rat swarms numbering in the hundreds of millions, leaving nothing but bones in their wake.

Furthermore, after their mutation, they move extremely fast, are exceptionally ferocious, and possess powerful attack capabilities. If they were to enter a human survivor base, the consequences would be unimaginable, with corpses strewn everywhere, potentially wiping out the entire human population of the base.

Unless we can stop them from getting in.

"This is it!" Bai Jierou also became frightened.

When she first encountered the mutated rat swarm, she had no idea how to deal with a swarm of hundreds of millions of rats.

Waaaaah~

Several girls were already crying out in fear. Having lived in the base since childhood, they had never seen such a terrifying scene.

Anyone with a weak heart would be terrified and cry.

Several boys were so frightened that they wet their pants.

Xu Xin was also terrified and grabbed Qian Ye's hand, her whole body trembling. She didn't know what to do and could only rely on Qian Ye: "Brother Ye, look at that swarm of rats, do you think we can still escape?"

"Oh my god!" Just then, Tingmei ran over and grabbed Qian Ye's other hand. "Brother Ye, this rat swarm is at least in the hundreds of millions, are we going to die?"

Qian Ye: "..."

He remained completely calm.

"Run! Everyone run! There are too many rats, we have nowhere to hide, it will be dangerous if we don't run!" Bai Jierou's sudden shout startled everyone.

"Students, listen to Captain Bai, run!" Mentor Huang immediately reminded the students.

"Run!" Fatty Guo shouted as he led the way.

The students dared not hesitate and followed Fatty Guo with all their might, not daring to fall behind, running closely behind.

At this critical juncture, whoever dares to fall behind will perish.

Bai Jierou stayed behind to cover the retreat.

Qian Ye also had Xu Xin and Tingmei catch up with the group and run forward.

Qian Ye and Bai Jierou followed closely behind the group to cover the rear.

Although Qian Ye had just killed a C-rank monster with a single blow, Bai Jierou didn't think Qian Ye could handle the rat swarm.

Even Wargod like her was helpless against the sheer number of rats, which is why she told everyone to run away without discussing it with Qian Ye.

"Qian Ye, this rat swarm is too powerful. None of the students or Mentor Huang are martial artists. We probably won't get very far before the rat swarm catches up with us. We're no match for the rat swarm either. You're more capable than me. Do you have any way to escape the rat swarm's encirclement?"
