The group continued onward, stopping frequently to clear obstacles from the road and even dealing with occasional zombie attacks.
But each time, Chang Wei didn't need to take action himself; the combatants quickly subdued the zombies.
This 0-mile journey, which normally takes only half an hour by car, now took a whole day...
Finally, they saw a warehouse shaped like a small hill, located in a suburban area, surrounded by flat land dotted with haystacks and ditches.
Kojiro looked at the warehouse in front of him, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes. He promised Chang Wei that as long as they could successfully obtain 100,000 catties of grain this time, he would become a patrol captain under Chang Wei and live a relatively comfortable life from then on.
Chang Wei and the others followed closely behind Kojiro, but as they approached the warehouse, they sensed something was amiss.
The area around the warehouse was unusually quiet; there wasn't even a shadow of a zombie in sight, which was completely illogical.
The group stopped and cautiously observed what lay ahead, gripping their weapons tightly, ready to respond to any unexpected situation.
Chang Wei frowned, sensing an inexplicable danger approaching.
He turned to look at Sato and Hoshino Ai, signaling them to stay alert.
Chang Chen also stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Sato, jointly protecting the safety of the team.
"You all wait here, I'll go in and check the situation first," Chang Wei whispered.
He gripped his weapon tightly and cautiously walked toward the warehouse.
He knew that every step ahead might be fraught with unknowns and dangers, but he had to forge ahead for the team's survival and future hope.
This time, his intuition seemed to have failed to warn him of danger, which reassured him considerably; at least in his view, there was no immediate threat to his life.
However, just as he was about ten meters away from the door, a deafening roar suddenly came from the back of the warehouse.
Immediately afterwards, a group of rat-like creatures surged toward Chang Wei like a raging flood.
These creatures are covered in gray fur and are similar in size to rabbits before the apocalypse. Although they look like mice, they are many times larger.
Their numbers were staggering, numbering in the tens of thousands, sweeping towards Chang Wei and his group like a gray torrent.
259 challenges the mutated rat king! Shocking all the women!
When Chang Wei first saw these creatures, he was amazed, but he did not show the slightest fear.
He stepped back slightly, activating his Detective Eye to investigate further.
"Mutant Beast: Mutant Rat, which is formed from the mutation of an ordinary rat."
Level: Level 1.
"Skill: Steel Fang, sharp teeth that can crush stone."
"Weakness: Poor defense; can be killed by an ordinary person wielding a knife."
"Evaluation: Mutant rat; its meat is edible and can provide energy."
When their numbers are small, they are easy to kill; but when their numbers are too large, they can become an unstoppable disaster.
Chang Wei was shocked. These mutated rats were the source of meat he desperately needed, and their meat could also replenish his energy.
Unfortunately, there were simply too many of them, and it would be virtually impossible for him to kill them all by himself.
Upon seeing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.
Before anyone could give the order, they all raised their guns and opened fire, bullets raining down on the swarming rats.
Almost every bullet could kill a rat, and blood splattered from time to time among the rats.
The three light machine guns that Chang Wei brought also played a huge role at this time, pouring bullets wildly and almost cutting the "flood" of rats in half.
"Don't stop! Don't let these things get any closer!"
Everyone was startled to see the stone in front of the rats disappear without a trace after they passed by.
Hoshino Ai roared, grabbed a light machine gun from the side, and joined the firing.
Hoshino Ai used his superb gun handling skills, and a ball of emerald green light flashed between his palms.
The light gradually spread, gently covering the 20mm machine gun in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, the machine gun's appearance underwent a dramatic change, transforming from its originally ordinary form into something ferocious and imposing.
The muzzle suddenly widened, resembling the eye of a beast as thick as a thumb, gleaming with a sharp light.
The gun body features smooth lines and an overall mysterious and majestic black color, resembling a warrior clad in black armor, quietly awaiting the order to go to war.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Deep, powerful gunshots rang out one after another, shaking the surrounding air.
The machine gun in Hoshino Ai's hand seemed to have turned into a small cannon. Every time the trigger was pulled, a powerful bullet whistled out.
The bullets traced fiery trajectories through the air before crashing into the swarm of rats.
Each hit triggers a violent explosion, blasting out one deep cave after another.
These caves are not only a deadly blow to the rat population, but also a vivid demonstration of Ai Hoshino's superb skills.
The entire battlefield seemed to be enveloped by the muffled gunfire, and every explosion shook people's hearts.
Ai Hoshino stood quietly in place, the Black Knight machine gun in her hand constantly spitting out deadly tongues of fire, adding a mysterious and majestic touch to the battle.
Sato's machine gun was like the Grim Reaper's scythe; every time he pulled the trigger, dozens of mutated rats fell to the ground.
However, compared to the vast swarm of thousands of rats, the number of deaths was like a drop in the ocean.
Therefore, those mutated rats remained fearless and charged forward wave after wave.
The squeaking sounds rose and fell, converging into a deafening wave of sound that pierced everyone's ears like ultrasound.
Amidst the cacophony, everyone's minds began to wander, as if they were being bewitched by the sounds.
"not good!"
Zhang Zhen, who had been standing guard beside Sato, suddenly changed his expression and quickly unleashed his skill.
Suddenly, foot-long spikes appeared on the ground, forming an area three meters in diameter.
The mutated rats that rushed into the area were instantly pierced by the spikes and hung on them like skewers of grilled meat, having completely lost their lives.
This is the skill Zhang Zhen acquired after killing a zombie – Ground Spike Assault.
However, since he has only been an evolved being for a short time and is currently only a level two evolved being, the range of the ground spikes is limited to this three-meter size.
Nevertheless, this attack was enough to kill dozens of mutated rats.
However, Zhang Zhen also knew that this skill could not be used lightly, because he could only use it twice a day and had to leave some room for maneuver.
At the same time, Ada Wong also saw the two's actions.
Not to be outdone, he roared and instantly became as hard as an iron sword, his body faintly shimmering with an earthy silver light.
She leaped into the swarm of rats, like a towering reef.
She wielded the Tang sword with great force, and with each strike, several mutated rats perished.
"boom"
"boom"
Loud noises rang out continuously as Ada Wong displayed her might among the rats, like a god of war.
Led by her, the others also mustered their courage, and bullets rained down on the crazed mutated rats. Within a minute, nearly a thousand mutated rats lay dead in pools of blood.
However, the rat swarm was still too large, and the group had to shoot while retreating to find a safer location.
The group continued to shoot at the endless stream of mutated rats with their guns. Every bullet hit its target precisely, and the sharp steel teeth seemed so powerless under the baptism of gunfire.
No one wants to experience being bitten by the steel teeth of these mutated rats, because that means there might not even be any bones left.
Chang Wei stood aside, observing the battle with a leisurely expression.
He watched as everyone dealt with the mutated rats' attack in an orderly manner, and couldn't help but feel somewhat satisfied.
The training these past few days has not been in vain. He was very pleased that these people were able to remain calm in the face of crisis and did not scatter.
Suddenly, a strange cry came from behind the swarm of rats.
The entire swarm of rats seemed to receive some kind of instruction, and began to disperse, no longer charging forward headlong as before.
They separated like flowing water, gradually converging towards the center from all directions, as if they had suddenly gained wisdom and knew that they could not confront each other head-on.
This change was manageable for Ada Wong and others, but the ordinary combatants seemed somewhat at a loss.
They looked at the scattered swarm of rats, unsure where to begin.
Moreover, once the rat swarm dispersed, their density decreased significantly, and the bullets fired by the group could no longer achieve the same remarkable results as before.
Worse still, the scattered swarms of rats added even more pressure to the group. Every now and then, several mutated rats would suddenly dart out from one direction and pounce on them.
Fortunately, Chang Wei reacted quickly, immediately launching several fireballs to kill the mutated rats that rushed forward, saving his men's lives.
Chang Wei's eyes narrowed, and he looked up to see a giant mutated rat king, the size of a domestic pig, behind the swarm of rats.
It was emitting strange cries, and it was this rat king who was directing the changes in the entire rat swarm.
Chang Wei observed the mutated rat king with curiosity; it exuded a strong aura of danger.
"Mutant Beast: Mutant Rat King! This is the king of all mutant rats!"
