Slaying the Rat King, the Savage Rat Swarm

"You guys stay here and guard this place. If any rats gnaw through it, use your tools to deal with them."

"These rats are so well-organized; they must be led by a mutated creature. We need to find them as soon as possible; we don't yet know how many rats there are."

Seeing this, the others could only stare at the spot, taking out their machetes and waiting for the rats to emerge.

He quickly walked to the edge of the rooftop and looked down, discovering more than a dozen rats slowly climbing up through the corner pipes of the building.

Without saying a word, he Avatar and kicked down the water pipe that was installed against the wall.

The rats also fell in because the water pipe collapsed.

However, the Avatar estimated that given the roughness of the wall, the rats would still have a chance to climb up. He immediately called over two people to guard the edge.

There was nothing of interest around the house.

He immediately picked up the binoculars and looked around at the distance.

Just a few dozen meters away, on the top floor of another building, seven or eight rats were watching. One of the rats stood upright and pointed at the exploration team, while the others beside it seemed to be waiting for orders.

It must be a rat king.

It seems the exploration team members were on the top floor and hadn't been attacked by the rats.

The Rat King was somewhat exasperated and immediately dispatched several rats, as if to issue some kind of command.

Having found the mutated rat king, the Avatar took out five Molotov cocktails from their backpack, which they had prepared in their spatial storage.

He handed it to Liu Tingquan, who was standing to the side. Old Zhao and Old Cao were responsible for keeping an eye on the door. Mo Yuemei and Chen Yanshan were watching the surrounding walls to prevent any rats from sneaking up, as he was the weakest attacker in the team.

The Avatar gave the order.

"Keep a close eye on the doorway and the surrounding area. If you see a large swarm of rats rushing towards you, light a Molotov cocktail and throw it at them. This is a last resort. If it's a dangerous situation, you should still use it."

Liu Tingquan hadn't expected that the captain would entrust him with such an important task, and he felt immense pressure, nodding heavily in agreement.

After giving his instructions, Avatar and, from a hidden spot out of sight of the Rat King on the opposite side, landed on the ground in a few leaps.

He casually killed a few rats that saw it.

The Avatar cautiously made its way towards the location of the Rat King.

The Rat King was still observing the people on the roof, but suddenly realized that one person was missing and he didn't know where they had gone.

I'm a bit confused.

The Avatar had already reached the building where the Rat King was located, where dozens of rats were stationed nearby on guard.

"Too scattered"

These rats are in groups of two or three, each about ten meters long, and they can see each other.

It's impossible for him to reach the Rat King without making a sound.

They decided to stop hiding and unleashed their speed, leaving marks on the cement road and creating deep pits in the muddy ground.

They stepped directly onto the balcony of the three-story villa, leaping up in twos and threes.

Upon seeing humans approach, the other mice began to squeak and squeal.

The rat king upstairs then realized that other creatures were approaching.

But it was too late when he tried to investigate; his Avatar had already rushed to the rooftop.

The rat king stared in shock at the human who had flown up from downstairs. After a moment of stunned silence, it immediately took off running.

The Rat King and the other rats beside him rushed towards the Avatar without saying a word, seemingly trying to cover the Rat King's escape.

"These rats are so adept at handling this."

With a sweeping kick, he sent the entire group of rats flying. The rats that were kicked against the wall had their brains splattered and were covered in blood and gore.

He pulled out his composite bow and fired an arrow.

"Call out"

Just as they were about to reach the Rat King, they suddenly veered off course, narrowly avoiding the arrow.

The armor-piercing arrowheads were deeply embedded in the concrete ground.

Seeing how agile this rat king was, the Avatar directly wielded a machete and leaped over.

But the rat king had already run to the edge of the platform, and there was a drainpipe right under the eaves.

The Rat King immediately slid down the drainpipe.

He kicked over the water pipe Avatar jumped down without thinking.

The rat king, who was panicking because of the collapsed water pipe, was suddenly cleaved in two by a sliver of cold light that descended from the sky.

The rats that were about to rush to their rescue saw their rat king being Avatar in two by the cleaver and fell into some unknown state of berserk rage.

They let out angry, piercing cries towards the sky.

"Squeak~~Squeak~~"

Seeing this, the Avatar felt somewhat uneasy.

Because such a sharp sound was enough to reach the exploration team. Although he didn't know what purpose the sound served, it was certainly not good news for them.

These fearless rats, with their reddened eyes, immediately charged towards the Avatar.

Avatar was in a hurry to get back and didn't have time to deal with the horde of frenzied rats.

They left them far behind at a speed that even a horse couldn't catch up with.

Here at the exploration team's location, they saw that the stainless steel door had been chewed through several large holes, and several rats had already squeezed their heads out.

Without saying a word, Old Zhao and Old Cao, who were standing nearby, took out their knives and stabbed him in.

The frequent poking and prodding made the rats afraid to gather near the burrow entrance anymore.

The other rats on the side continued to expand, enlarging the entire area of the hole.

Just then, sharp cries came from afar.

Upon hearing this sound, the numerous rats went berserk, their eyes becoming completely bloodshot.

They desperately tried to squeeze into the opening that had been created, or they used all their strength to tear at the sheet metal.

Blood was flowing from the corners of their mouths due to cuts, and many rats had blood all over their mouths, making them look extremely cruel and terrifying.

Seeing this, Liu Tingquan knew he couldn't wait any longer, and he was as excited as a child wanting to set off firecrackers.

However, this firecracker is a little big.

"Get out of the way, I'm going to throw a Molotov cocktail."

He urgently reminded them, Old Zhao and Old Cao, who were standing next to the stainless steel door, lit their Molotov cocktails and smashed them against the stainless steel door.

When the others saw him, they lit Molotov cocktails and threw them at him.

"Holy crap...!"

Before he could even finish uttering a curse word, he quickly dodged to the side.

"Bang!"

The Molotov cocktail shattered, gasoline splattered, and a fierce fire erupted, engulfing the swarm of rats behind the stainless steel door.

Although the fire from the Molotov cocktail obscured the view.

But everyone heard the screams of the rats; the Molotov cocktail had worked.

This power is extremely lethal to such a large number of rats.

But what they didn't know was that as the rats in front were burned, the rats behind continued to push forward, gradually spreading the fire outwards.

Mice began to move forward from the middle.

As the screams gradually subsided, the others also sensed that something was wrong.

His expression gradually turned serious.

After all, there were quite a few rats; it was impossible to burn them all at once.

"Look!"

Mo Yuemei shouted.

Amidst the flames, a dark shadow appeared and approached, gradually charging towards them. It wasn't until several rats burst out of the fire that everyone realized how incredibly fearless these rats were.

Even such a huge fire is being used to attack them.
