The two zombies did not stop even after they caught a few feral rats. They changed their right hand to pinch the rat's tail and then grabbed the rat's tail with their left hand. After their left hand was empty, they did not stay idle and continued to grab. After grabbing it, they gave it to their right hand.
Soon, the two zombies held the tails of at least seven ferocious rats in their right hands. These ferocious rats were larger than ordinary rats. If the walkers had not been refined and had extraordinary strength, they would not have been able to catch them.
He continued to grab with his left until both hands were full, unable to hold them in his right hand. The two zombies quickly left through the cave exit.
The dozen or so feral rats in their grasp kept struggling. They used all their strength to bite the zombies' bodies, but it was useless. Some even wanted to bite off their tails, but the zombies' grips were slightly higher, so they couldn't bite at all.
The miserable roars of their companions almost made the feral rats, which were already at the peak of their anger, explode. Ever since they had collectively eaten those magical herbs, they had become the overlords of the nearby forest. No animal dared to compete with them.
Today, he had actually been insulted time and time again. How could he tolerate this?
The zombies quickly retreated to the front of the formation. Zhang Gu looked at the ragged, rat-fur-covered zombies and sighed.
"Stimulate them," he said, smiling at the people around him.
He immediately took out an alloy rod and used all his strength to hit one of the feral rats that were pretending to be dead.
Bang! The sound of bones cracking mixed with the sound of the blow.
"Squeak!"
The feral rat immediately stopped pretending to be dead and let out a miserable scream.
"Brother, give me some venting too." A martial artist from the Supernatural Supervision Bureau immediately jumped out when he saw this scene.
When the people from the Supernatural Supervision Bureau had entered the mountain, only a few had escaped. The rest had become food for these feral rats. His best brother had died inside.
"Sure."
When the rod was handed to the Supernatural Supervision Bureau martial artist, he became even more ruthless. He specifically targeted the weak spots of these feral rats.
Lower body, eyes, ears…
The beating and poking made the feral rats scream.
It was a little cruel, but everyone watched in silence. No one objected. Many were actually pleased.
Kindness should not exist when dealing with fierce beasts that stood against humans.
When the feral rats in the mountain heard this scream, they could no longer endure it. Even though the Rat King had given the order many times, there were still a large number of feral rats rushing down the mountain towards this place.
"Prepare for battle."
With Zhang Gu's order, everyone immediately prepared for battle.
Countless feral rats surged out of the mountains like streams converging into rivers, forming a terrifying gray wave.
The ground trembled slightly under the weight of the many rats. There was a slight vibration as their feet touched the ground. The vibrations of thousands of rats overlapped, creating a deafening roar.
Looking at so many feral rats, even Zhang Gu, who had dealt with fierce beasts many times, was a little nervous.
However, he didn't show it. His expression was still very calm.
The team waited calmly as the rat tide approached quickly. The stench unique to rats in the air grew stronger.
The rat at the very front suddenly lost its footing and fell into the trap. There were sharp bamboo pieces stuck under the trap, and when these rats fell, their bodies were instantly pierced by the bamboo pieces.
The rats at the back felt that something was amiss and wanted to stop. However, their comrades were charging forward with their lives on the line. Before they could react, these rats had already been pushed into a trap by their comrades.
Wave after wave of rats surged forward and fell into the traps without warning.
However, there were simply too many of these rats. After leaving behind nearly 100 corpses, the simple trap completely lost its use.
"Shoot!"
Zhang Gu issued an order at the right time as the rat tide approached. Countless bullets shot out from the holes in the earth wall.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The feral rats that only knew how to fight valiantly suffered a dimensional reduction attack from humans.
Even though they were fierce beasts, they were actually just beasts that were slightly stronger than ordinary animals. As long as they weren't too ridiculously strong, they generally wouldn't be able to withstand the bullets.
Not to mention, other than these bullets, there were also rockets and the like mixed in from time to time.
The order from above was to protect the resources in the mountains as much as possible. Now that they were outside the mountains, they could bomb however they wanted.
The sounds of gunfire rang out incessantly. It seemed that the endless rat tide couldn't get within 30 meters of the earthen wall at all under the ample firepower.
"Don't relax. Be careful of the Rat King's sneak attack. The drones will focus on searching for traces of the Rat King."
Zhang Gu shouted loudly. If the Rat King didn't die, he wouldn't be able to completely relax.
As expected, before the drone team could report the situation, a pale golden rat left the group of rats at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye and headed straight for the earth wall.
"Not good!" Zhang Gu's eyes widened and he immediately roared, "Crossfire! Block its path! Don't let it get close!"
Everyone immediately tensed up. No one had expected that the Rat King had already reached the front of the rat tide.
In the next second, densely packed bullets hit the rat king's path and the area it was in. However, its speed was extremely fast. When it stepped on the ground, its body bent into an unbelievable shape and actually dodged the impact of this wave of bullets.
Immediately after, its speed was extremely fast. Its small body shuttled through the rain of bullets and arrived near the earth wall in the blink of an eye.
"Director Wang! Daoist Zhu!" Zhang Gu broke out in a cold sweat and shouted, "We must stop it. Once it destroys the line, none of us will be able to leave."
That's right. If the rat king rushed into the formation to slaughter, without the concentrated firepower, the rat tide wouldn't be able to stop it at all.
"Okay."
Wang Yuande responded and circulated his Connate True Qi throughout his body. In the next second, he rushed toward the rat king like lightning.
After advancing to the Connate Realm, one's internal strength would transform into connate true qi, possessing the effect of temporarily leaving the body.
Zhu Yuanhua didn't reveal anything and quietly disguised himself as an ordinary person. However, his hands began to move rapidly. The speed of the two zombies wasn't as fast as Wang Yuande, but they charged over fearlessly.
"Die for me!"
Wang Yuande was the fastest. He held a steel blade in his hand and poured connate true qi into it as he slashed down forcefully.
The steel blade carried boundless might as if it wanted to slice the entire Rat King in half. However, when the Rat King saw this move, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
It quickly turned in the air and twisted its body, easily dodging this move as it rushed in another direction.
"Stay here!!" Wang Yuande was seething with anger.
He quickly stretched out his left hand and grabbed at the Rat King, but his speed was far from enough. He didn't even manage to touch the Rat King's tail.
There was no need to mention the two walking corpses. Even though they had immense strength and their muscles and skin were incomparably sturdy, their speed wasn't fast enough. Hence, the Rat King couldn't be bothered with them.
"It has very high intelligence. Its goal is to destroy the formation!" Zhang Gu reminded them immediately when he saw the direction the Rat King was heading in.
The ordinary soldiers were not far away from the Rat King. These soldiers were only guarded by ordinary martial artists from the Supernatural Supervision Bureau, so they couldn't stop the Rat King at all.
