fter Yue Zhong and Ji Qing Wu had left the camp, there were some activity going on in the middle of the camp that went unnoticed by the humans: Two claws sneakily protruded out from the ground and continuously scattered the dirt around the area. Before long, a big hole appeared in the grounds in the middle of the camp.
From that hole, two Mutant Rats Variation climbed out. These Mutant Rats Variation were the same size as a cat, but unlike the other mutant rats, they have pair of forelimbs were unusually developed and were filled with sharp claws.
“Holy Shit!! There are rats here!!”
Translator notes.
“Rat Variation!!”
Looking at the Mutant Rat Variations that were rapidly climbing out of the hole, the men were taken back, and immediately fired at these rats.
Under a hail of bullets, the first few Mutant Rat Variations were killed as soon as they emerged from the hole.
But the hole had already been dug, and from the hole, a massive number of (normal) Mutant Rats poured out..
“Fill the hole! Do not let them come out!” The leader of a small team of men roared.
7 evolvers holding Tang Imitation Swords leaped out from among that team of men, and rushed towards the hole.
Everyone knew that if these Mutant Rats continuously poured out of the hole, all the men here would die today!
The 7 men used Tang Imitation Swords to continuously sliced apart any Mutant Rats they came across. Soon they formed circle around the hole, refusing to let a single one of these creatures escape and wrack havoc within the camp.
“Let me do it!!” A militant armed with a type 79 assault rifles took advantage of the 7 evolvers’ ability to prevent these Mutant Rats from climbing out of the hole. He rushed towards the hole and open fired into the hole with a mixture of glee and reckless abandonment. “Datatatatataaaa….” A continuous stream of bullets shot through the Mutant Rats that were scrambling through the hole.
After emptying all the bullets in his magazine, the militant pulled out 4 of the Mutant Rat Variations’ corpses [that was covering the hole], and immediately tossed a hand grenade into the hole.
“Bombbbbbb!”A loud explosive rang out. From the hole, a wave of heat, rocks and Mutant Rats’ body parts were launched into the air, creating a massive cloud of dust. After the cloud of dust has dissipated, the hole was sealed with a mixture of rocks and sand.
Suddenly a series of loud shouts sent a chill into the hearts of the men:
“There is also a hole here!!”
“Holy shit! There is another hole over here!!”
Shouts and screams erupted among the humans as multiple holes suddenly appeared at various points throughout the camp. A swamp of Mutant Rats emerged from each of these holes, and rushed towards the humans in a frenzy.
Then the whole camp erupted in an outpouring of gun fire and screams.
From Yue Zhong side of the camp, Kong Tianyu bellowed, “Spray the gasoline! Quickly spray the gasoline!”
Although there were many Mutant Rats emerging from the various holes, the number of Mutant Rats that managed to enter the camp through the tunnels were a lot lesser in numbers than the Mutant Rats Tide that was outside the ring of fire. If the Mutant Rats outside the camp took advantage of the confusion within the camp and rushed towards the camp, then all of these men would die under the jaws of the rat tide.
The two fire trucks constantly sprayed gasoline onto the flames, creating a buffer zone. The initial fire was running out of things to burn and was slowly dying out when it suddenly received this new source of fuel. Torrents of flames that was dying out received a new lease of life as the inferno erupted and raged even more fiercely.
In the camp where Yue Zhong’s team was defending themselves, several rat holes had been dug by the Mutant Rats Variations. From each of these rat holes, several mutant rats emerged and rushed towards the men.
“Follow me!” Zhong Tianyu roared, as he grabbed a Tang Imitation Sword and rushed towards the closest hole.
Chen Shitou and the rest of Yue Zhong close combat team members also equipped their Tang Imitation Sword and moved forwards to intercept the Mutant Rats.
The war between men and rats became chaotic as the two side crashed together in close combat battle. Every moment, there were massive number of Mutant Rats that were killed. At the same time, there were many men who had bitten to death or seriously injured by these rats.
