Chapter 196 Rat Trouble

Although the situation they saw in the town before was already very serious, when everyone left the town and continued along the road, they soon saw an even more shocking scene.

"What...what is this?"

Looking at the layers of big fat pigs piled up on both sides of the road, Bambi widened his eyes in surprise and asked uneasily.

"Aren't these pigs food for humans? Why would they..."

"It's probably because these pigs are infected with the plague, so they have to be slaughtered...but then again, they are not buried or burned, so what's the point of just leaving them here like this?"

Staring at the carcasses of hundreds of big fat pigs on both sides of the road, Duanmuhuai also frowned. Although it is natural to kill the poultry infected with the plague in order to prevent the spread of the plague, it is equally important to deal with it afterwards. You are so direct

Throwing them on the side of the road is like a large source of infection. Maybe the plague in the town they were in was transmitted from the corpses of these pigs.

"Lord Knight!"

However, at this moment, Lorena suddenly screamed. She took two steps back and pointed her hand forward uneasily.

"Well, that pig seems to be moving!"

"oh?"

Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked in the direction of Lorena's finger. It was already dusk at this moment. Except for the light of some torches and the searchlight on Duanmu Huai's power armor, the surrounding area was almost dark. All he could see was pure white.

Under the bright illumination of the searchlight, everyone saw a big fat pig lying on the ground not far in front of them, which seemed to begin to gradually move its body. Its head turned slightly, as if it wanted to turn towards Duanmuhuai.

Undead pig? There shouldn’t be such a funny thing in this world, right?

However, at this moment, a horrifying scene happened.

Under the searchlight, I saw that the soft and swollen belly of the pig suddenly began to squirm, as if something was crawling inside. The next moment, the pig's belly suddenly burst open, and then hundreds of pigs appeared like a tide.

Black rats screamed and rushed out of it, rushing towards everyone!!

"ah-----!!!"

Girls are all afraid of mice, and the girl next to Duanmuhuai is no exception. Bambi screamed and hugged Duanmuhuai, turned around and shrank into his arms. Lorena and Audrey were also at this moment.

Her face turned pale, and she hurriedly stepped back. Only Ogis was still sitting quietly on Duanmuhuai's shoulder, her expression unchanged at all.

"Go away!!"

Naturally, Duanmuhuai would not let these rats rush over. He roared angrily, and then took a step forward. Then the soul flames instantly burst out from Duanmuhuai's side, directly igniting everything in all directions. Soon he saw hundreds of squirming rats.

The mice were engulfed in the flames and disappeared, while the corpses of the dead pigs that were also burned by the flames exploded one by one at this moment, and more mice poured out, screaming and fleeing as if they could not bear the erosion of the flames.

"W-what on earth is going on?"

Looking at the swarm of fleeing rats all around, Lorena's face turned pale. Although the missionary priest was also powerful, unfortunately she didn't have the large-scale attack skills like the mage. And it was obvious that facing thousands of people

Tens of thousands of mice are useless just relying on the holy book in your hand.

"Tsk, it's getting more and more troublesome."

Duanmuhuai looked around and could see that although the rats were far away from the pile of burned corpses, they were still lingering not far away. They made dense "squeaking" sounds. Under the night, they could be clearly seen.

The red light spots emitted by these mice's eyes are even more frightening when gathered together.

"use this."

As Duanmuhuai spoke, he took out several grenades from the pocket of his armor.

"This is?"

"Incendiary bombs, just pull out the latch and throw them into the rats."

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai pulled out the latch in his hand, and then threw the incendiary bomb out with all his strength. Soon there was only a "bang" sound, and the flames suddenly burst out from the group of rats, and in an instant, nearly a hundred rats were enveloped in it.

into the fire. But this is not over yet. These rats themselves seem to have the property of igniting fire. The flames spread in the group of rats in an instant. However, these rats do not seem to be stupid. They almost ran away as fast as possible.

He caught his companions who were on fire and gathered together again.

"Ugh..."

Seeing this scene, Lorena's face turned pale, and Audrey stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, as if she was about to spit it out.

"It's weird, they look like they have intelligence."

Ojisi said calmly, and Duanmuhuai nodded.

"It's not surprising, the honeycomb effect... the more there are, the higher the IQ, especially these are not ordinary mice..."

Duanmuhuai said without stopping. He took out incendiary bombs one after another and threw them directly into the group of rats. Soon, more and more rats were swallowed up by the flames. Finally, Duanmuhuai waited.

When there was only a circle of fire left around, the remaining rats chose to retreat. They turned around and went straight into the forest, disappearing without a trace.

"Okay, let's move on."

It wasn't until those mice left that Duanmu Huai looked back and spoke.

After that, everyone continued to move forward, but the situation along the way was not much better. In the end, Duanmuhuai found a dilapidated hut next to the street, and then used gravity gloves to play Minecraft to build a house - although

It is still a boxy coffin, but for Duanmuhuai, it is enough that it can accommodate people now, and the rest will be discussed tomorrow.

"This is the first time I've seen that kind of scene."

Sitting by the campfire, Lorena still looked frightened. It's no wonder that thousands of rats surrounded them in darkness, and they seemed to have some kind of clear will. This kind of thing is indeed quite terrifying.

.

"I remember you didn't seem so scared when you were in Mordheim before, right?"

Duanmuhuai looked at Lorena curiously. This priest girl once went to Mordheimer with him and fought with the rat-men there. He thought that Lorena would not be afraid of the rat-men.

"Of course I'm not worried about rat-men, but rats are too small... they can get in if you're not careful..."

As she spoke, Lorena even looked around uneasily.

"Lord Knight, is there no problem here? What if we are sleeping..."

"Don't worry, I've made complete preparations. Those rats can't get in."

Seeing Lorena's little girl-like appearance, Duanmuhuai also laughed. Just as he said to Lorena, he also carried out reinforcement work on this house. Even if those mice can dig holes,

Can't get in.

Of course, he could also understand Lorena's worries. After all, it would be an absolute nightmare to find a mouse on your face when you wake up.

"Tea, please."

At this time, Audrey had also prepared dinner. Unlike others, she basically worked as a maid. Audrey carried a small bag with her - although it looked only the size of a handbag, it contained

There are a lot of things, including food, tableware, etc... Duanmu Huai is really curious whether this is the kind of space pocket in online novels.

But I have to say that Audrey’s craftsmanship is indeed good. Duanmu Huai’s requirements for food are actually not high. Although he is a strong man, he only eats a little more food than the average person. For Duanmu Huai, food is

The food is purely for absorbing nutrients. Before, he had no problem eating just dry food.

Although the dry food in this world is dried meat and the like, it is not impossible to eat it with water.

But... Duanmuhuai will not refuse if it can be eaten well.

Just like now.

"Stab..."

The meat steak in the pan placed on the campfire was emitting the aroma of fat. Smelling this aroma, Bambi and Lorena calmed down. Audrey sat quietly and cut it skillfully with the utensils in her hands.

The cooked food was opened and placed on the plate. First it was handed to Duanmuhuai, then to Bambi, Lorena, and Ogis - the latter of course refused.

She doesn't need to eat.

"I really didn't expect it to have reached this level."

Duanmu Huai picked up his fork, put the steak into his mouth, and started talking at the same time.

"Those rats..."

"Sorry, Lord Knight, I don't want to talk about this during dinner."

"All right."

Looking at Lorena's expression, Duanmu Huai also shook his head. He really didn't expect that the missionary priest would be afraid of mice... Of course, to be honest, anything that reaches a certain amount is scary. Even if it is.

Duanmuhuai himself actually finds so many mice annoying.

Of course, a cockroach would be just as disgusting. Although he always scares others, it doesn't mean that Duanmu Huai himself has no fear.

After dinner, everyone rested in front of the bonfire and then fell into sleep.

The same goes for Duanmu Sophora japonica.

But when he opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

“——————————!!!!”

The first thing that caught Duanmu Huai's eyes was desolation. When he stood up, he could see ruins everywhere. He didn't have his own hut, and no one else was here. The whole world looked like an apocalyptic wasteland after a nuclear explosion.

Earth-like wind mixed with yellow sand enveloped the sky, and the shadow of the sun was almost invisible.

"Squeak squeak!!!"

Suddenly, a series of shouts sounded, and Duanmu Huai stopped and looked forward. Then, the strong wind gradually dissipated, the yellow sand that originally obscured his vision receded, and a city appeared in front of Duanmu Huai.
