He... he...
A thought that nearly froze the blood of the Sharp-Horned Rat struck its mind like lightning.
His scarlet pupils were fixed on the black-haired youth who was looking down at him.
He... he can... he knows what I'm thinking?!
The moment she realized this, immense fear and the despair of being utterly manipulated overwhelmed her!
"No--!!!"
A desperate, terrified scream exploded simultaneously in reality and in its shattered heart!
Immediately afterwards, the remaining Origin Power within the Sharp-Horned Rat's body surged back, compressed, and collapsed in an unprecedentedly frenzied manner!
Its gray fur instantly turned crimson, and its body swelled slightly!
Shen Heng's pupils contracted slightly, and he quickly kicked the Sharp-Horned Rat away into the distance.
"Bang--"
Two muffled sounds rang out in succession.
The sound was made by the Sharp-Horned Rat hitting the wall.
The other sound came from inside the Sharp-Horned Rat.
To Shen Heng's surprise, the Sharp-Horned Rat's body did not completely explode and remained relatively intact, but its appearance was still much more deformed than before.
Shen Heng frowned slightly as he looked at the Sharp-Horned Rat lying on the ground in the distance.
Would someone not hesitate to die upon realizing that staying alive might lead to further leaks of information?
This level of loyalty... truly befits Calamity Beast!
Shen Heng walked towards the Sharp-Horned Rat Sharp-Horned Rat, preparing to carry its corpse upstairs.
The Sharp-Horned Rat was dead, so the interrogation naturally ended.
Although they didn't get much detailed information from the interrogation, what they did know was enough for them to find their way there.
Fortunately, there wasn't a situation where it was too late by the time it was discovered.
Suddenly, Shen Heng paused slightly.
He felt a slight chill on his body, along with a sensation of being watched, the source of which was...
The carcass of the Sharp-Horned Rat lay on the ground.
"Has the Supervision Bureau... come to our attention...?"
This is... a body capable of taking over subordinates... In a flash, Shen Heng returned to normal.
He continued walking toward the carcass of the Sharp-Horned Rat as if nothing had happened.
In my ears, I heard that cold, malicious voice.
"Looks like we need to go somewhere else..."
The sound gradually faded from Shen Heng's ears until it disappeared completely.
Shen Heng walked to the corpse of the Sharp-Horned Rat, chopped off its head, and placed it facing the wall.
Without time to deal with it, he quickly turned around and walked towards the well opening.
Once back on the road, Shen Heng immediately looked at Wang Hai.
"Captain, something's happened!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback, and their gazes immediately turned to Shen Heng.
The message that Shen Heng had just compiled and transmitted was only available until the Sharp-Horned Rat self-destructed.
Afterwards, because the incident happened so suddenly and there was no interpreter, they still didn't know what happened next.
"What's wrong?" Wang Hai frowned slightly as he looked at Shen Heng and asked in a deep voice.
" The Sharp-Horned Rat's mistress, that female rat, seems to be able to briefly take over the bodies of her dead subordinates, briefly view what her subordinates could see after death, and even..."
Shen Heng paused for a moment, then continued, "I doubt whether it can access the memories of the Sharp-Horned Rat before its death."
"No way, there's such a weird ability?" Wu Cheng's eyes widened.
The others were equally surprised.
This was the first time they had ever heard of such a thing.
However, thinking about it, it seems quite normal to see it for the first time. After all, there are already few Calamity Beast that appear in groups, let alone discovering this ability.
"Did you hear something?" Wang Hai asked Shen Heng with a serious expression.
"The mother rat knows we've noticed them and is preparing to change her hiding place. We need to hurry over there," Shen Heng said quickly.
"It's too late to go now. Not to mention we don't even know where they're hiding, even if we did, it would probably take quite a while to get there from here," Wu Cheng said.
Everyone frowned slightly upon hearing this.
A swarm of Sharp-Horned Rat is unknown, is plotting how to destroy Linhai.
No matter what, we can't just watch them leave.
However, just as Wu Cheng said, it seems impossible to catch up now.
Just then, Wang Hai spoke in a deep voice.
"No, it's not that there's absolutely no way."
"Whoosh--"
The night wind howled.
Several cars sped off towards the southwestern suburbs of Linhai City.
Wang Hai took out an encrypted communicator, quickly swiped his finger across the screen, and connected to a channel with extremely high privileges.
His voice was calm yet rapid, carrying an undeniable sense of urgency:
"This is Wang Hai from the Linhai Supervision Bureau. Emergency situation. Requesting activation of the ' Scavenger ' agreement."
The communicator was silent for a moment before a male voice came through.
"Identity verified, please enter the authorization code."
"Delta-Charlie-Niner-Seven."
"Authorization code confirmed!"
" Scavenger Protocol ready, please provide target parameters and coordinate range."
Wang Hai's gaze swept towards Shen Heng.
Shen Heng immediately understood and quickly relayed the information:
"Target: A large-scale colony of Sharp-Horned Rat and Sharp-Horned Rat suspected of being at Fourth Tier (with the potential to advance to Fifth Tier )."
"The exact coordinates are unknown, but it is known to be located in the southwestern suburbs of Linhai City, roughly between 10-100km away. We suggest focusing on the area within 20-50km."
"They have underground nests, but they've just realized they've been exposed and are probably trying to move."
Wang Hai immediately repeated Shen Heng's words, adding:
Threat Level Assessment: Fourth Tier, A-Class.
"A large-scale, destructive plan targeting humanity is suspected. It is recommended to prioritize the use of bunker-buster and wide-area-effect warheads to prevent the target from escaping to the greatest extent possible."
"Received." came the reply from the communicator.
"Satellite and high-altitude reconnaissance units have been prioritized for deployment to this area, focusing on observing the region between 20-50 km and signs of unusual underground activity."
After that, the communicator went silent.
However, less than two minutes later, it started ringing again.
"The location of the target group has been located!"
The target group is fleeing!
"The ' Scavenger ' will arrive in three minutes. Relevant departments are advised to take precautions."
Shen Heng glanced at the communicator and saw that it had a miniature GPS tracker.
That location was about twenty kilometers away from them.
"Three minutes...?"
For the rest of the time, the car was quiet, and no one spoke.
It wasn't until almost three minutes had passed.
Shen Heng slowly opened his eyes and looked out the car window at the distant sky.
On the distant horizon, several streaks of light, trailing fiery white flames, appeared...
Wang Hai was also looking in that direction.
"Firearms, missiles..."
"These are the culmination of thousands of years of human wisdom and industrial expertise; they are our most powerful weapons against the Calamity Beast!"
