Chapter 473: Meet the Rat Man Again
The moon was dark and the wind was high.
The scavengers' campfire flickered in the darkness.
There were often rustling sounds in the wilderness. Those were some mutant small animals foraging in the garbage dump at night. However, I don't know when these rustling sounds became less.
The night was terribly quiet at this time.
In a place that the scavengers could not see, black shadows were moving, and pairs of scarlet eyes were looming on the distant hillside, moving towards the Butian Pavilion garbage dump, like a big net surrounding the entire garbage mountain.
"Hmm? Something is wrong."
An elderly scavenger suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at the dark garbage mountain in the distance. There was silence all around, and he didn't find anything. However, his intuition of scavenging outside for many years told him that something was secretly spying.
The scavenger swept around and suddenly punched the ground. Then a yellowish-brown creature with blood spitting out of its mouth jumped out of the ground.
"Is this... a rat?"
The elderly scavenger frowned and was suddenly shocked.
"No, there are more!"
The scavengers waved their hands and sent a series of fireballs into the distance. Boom, the garbage dump exploded, and several rats fled in panic.
"What's going on? What happened?"
Some scavengers were alarmed.
"There are rats sneaking up, which is unusual."
"It's normal to have rats in the wasteland."
Then, several sneaky mutant rats were caught one after another. They did not attack the scavengers, but just wandered around, quietly guarding around the camp, as if they were planning something.
Not only him, but others also noticed something was wrong and woke up one after another.
At this time, a senior scavenger with super perception suddenly opened his eyes and shouted.
"No, something is approaching in the distance, and there are so many! Damn, we seem to be surrounded!"
"What?"
The scavengers were shocked and suddenly lost all sleepiness. The whole camp became noisy like a vegetable market.
"Hurry up! There's a beast tide coming."
"Why panic? It's just a beast tide? It's not like we haven't seen it before."
......
White Jade Flying Boat, Boss's Luxurious Bedroom.
Boss Xiao exhaled, walked out of the soft big bed room, and stopped a hurried Gates.
"What the hell? Is there another garbage eruption?"
"No, boss! It's a rat tide. We detected a large number of rats around. It might be those ratmen who did it!"
Gates said anxiously.
"Ratmen?"
Boss Xiao shuddered, as if he remembered some bad memories. He took out a 20-kilometer-level white eye, switched to long-distance mode, and scanned the surroundings.
Sure enough, a lot of rat shadows appeared ten kilometers away, approaching rapidly, and there were many bright ratmen with high-energy reactions among them.
"Damn, they can't be the same ratmen who attacked Wanjie City!"
Xiao Yang was shocked.
A group of ratmen lived in the depths of the Great Wasteland. At that time, a seventh-level ancestor giant rat led the rat army to attack Wanjie City, causing considerable casualties to Wanjie City.
Because Boss Xiao had just entered the sixth level at that time, Wanjie City consumed a lot of garbage resources in the war, and those ratmen were quite powerful, and a series of major events happened later, so Boss Xiao did not have time to deal with those ratmen.
Unexpectedly, I met them again today.
"Why did the ratmen come here? Did they also take a fancy to this garbage spot?"
Xiao Yang narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Boss, do you want to retreat first? I feel that there are too many rats here. There is no place to defend. I am afraid that our manpower is not enough."
"Enter combat readiness and see the situation first."
Boss Xiao was not panicked. With Langqi's space channel, it was very convenient to fight or escape.
......
The speed of the rat tide was very fast. In just a few minutes, the scavengers could feel the shaking of the earth.
Some scavengers with amazing eyesight looked into the distance.
Ji.
In the darkness, a tide composed of pairs of scarlet eyes surged from a distance, rumbling like a torrent.
Densely packed rats, big and small, ran forward with bloodthirsty excitement, climbing over the garbage mountain and pouring down. Behind them, there were many high-level ratmen who drove away the low-level rat tide.
"Gai Taiya, there are too many of them!"
"It feels bad, I think we should run away."
"Yes, yes."
Many scavengers backed off, but some scavengers cheered them up.
"Humph, where are you going to run to with so many rats? Besides, although there are a lot of rats, they are all low-level rats at present. With so many strong people, we may be able to fight them."
"What about Wanjie City? Will they run away?"
"It seems that they don't plan to run away."
"I think we can wait and see. Isn't that boss Xiao here? With this fierce man here, we don't have to run away."
"Why don't we communicate with them and deal with the rat tide together?"
...
Soon, these senior scavengers sent representatives, hoping that Boss Xiao could come forward to organize the scavengers to fight against the rat tide. After all, Wanjie City has the greatest power here.
Boss Xiao did not refuse this. These scavengers were quite strong. There were more than 400 of them, most of them were above level 4, and there were even two level 7 scavengers. They were a powerful force.
However, the recycling company could not pay too much attention to these old hands. If the situation was not right, they would probably run faster than dogs.
After some consultation, everyone quickly reached a consensus and relied on the Garbage Mountain Range to create a favorable terrain to block the rat tide.
The scavengers' actions were very efficient.
Several earth-type psychics quickly built a simple defensive fortification using mud, and some versatile scavengers set traps around.
Wanjie City also took action. The huge white jade shell spaceship was launched and suspended in the sky, providing fire support for the scavengers.
Of course, if they are defeated, they can also take them away...
Rumble.
The rat tide approached quickly.
The scavengers fired several colorful fireballs, allowing everyone standing high on the mountain to clearly see the black rat beasts.
Against the backdrop of the night, they even looked a little shiny, which showed that they lived well in the garbage dump.
"Wind-type psychics, get ready!"
"Wind!"
More than a dozen wind-type psychics activated their powers together.
Suddenly, a hurricane blew over, and the strong wind pressure blew garbage and sand all over the ground, mixed with a large number of wind blades and black dust particles, forming a super strong death garbage storm, which hit the rat tide fiercely.
Chirp.
Like the autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, the rat tide seemed to hit a black wall, and countless rats were blown away by this wind wall, and even directly torn into pieces by the wind blades.
However, the rat tide was fearless and after a brief panic, it soon swept again under the command of the rat people.
"Ghost Golden Vine, parasitism!"
Boss Xiao used the same trick again, and had already made the Ghost Golden Vine create countless parasitic seeds, hiding in the storm.
The parasitic skills of the seventh-level Ghost Golden Vine are terrifying.
In just a moment, the entire rat tide suddenly exploded. Within a radius of several kilometers, all rats of any kind grew vines like metal, piercing the rats, and some even exploded directly, turning into a pile of blood rain.
