Ratatat—!
Ratatatatat—!
Gun muzzles spit out sparks, bullets tear through the air, Followed by crossbow bolts, The security teams didn't hesitate for a moment, aiming to take down the black-skinned rat immediately!
A mutant rat as large as a calf, its mere presence through the screen unsettling Sam, Were those people fools, Not understanding the danger posed by such a mutant rat?
However...
"The bullets, the bullets are blocked!?"
"The crossbow bolts can't penetrate!"
Sam couldn't help but stand up, eyes wide, a face full of disbelief.
What the security team leader was holding, Wasn't a toy gun!
Yet, the rat's horny layer actually blocked all the bullets and crossbow bolts!
"Hiss—!"
The black-skinned rat hissed, its body knocked back a few steps.
The impact of the bullets and crossbow bolts was still felt, But it seemed to only cause it pain, Without even a wound.
Seeing this, the security team was stunned, dumbfounded!
At that moment, The black-skinned rat stood in front of the body of a little boy, positioning itself between the body and the security team, making "squeak squeak" sounds, Seeming very anxious!
It actually didn't retaliate!
Sam frowned, "Does this rat want to protect the little boy?"
"But the little boy is already dead."
Thinking this, the security team noticed as well, Exchanging glances, Those who needed to change their crossbow bolts did so, and those who could shoot, shot!
For a moment, Gunfire was intense, a few security members moved to the side to shoot arrows, trying to find the black-skinned rat's weakness!
At the same time, The security team leader took out a walkie-talkie and shouted: "Backup! Backup! We need more firepower, there's a monster here!"
"Received! Permission to retreat! Heavy firepower is on its way!"
Came the response over the walkie-talkie, The captain touched his forehead, seeing the black-skinned rat standing firm against the bullets, his eyes shifted, continuing the fierce attack!
Ratatat—!
Whiz whiz—!
...
After running out of bullets and crossbow bolts, The guards were panting, staring at the black-skinned rat in horror.
"Is this a rat?"
A guard spoke bitterly, Legs and arms weak, No longer having the courage to attack, Although the black-skinned rat was standing in front of the little boy, not attacking them, But, Seeing its horny layer as if it were cast from steel, They couldn't help but feel fear!
"Retreat! Wait for backup!"
Seeing the rat unharmed, the captain lost his last bit of hope, swallowed hard, and ordered the guards to retreat!
Everyone hurriedly backed towards the shelter, Step by step, With utmost caution.
The black-skinned rat didn't charge, seeing the guards no longer attacking, it seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, Turning its head back to the little boy.
But with that turn, it saw the little boy's body riddled with holes!
It could block bullets, but the little boy's body was still flesh and blood!
Even, Many bullets had hit Xu, his body becoming a gruesome sight.
"Run! Run!"
"Quick!"
The people showed fear, desperately running inside, The captain stood at the door, Ready to close the gate first!
At that moment, The black-skinned rat moved.
Turning around, a wave of invisible pressure came!
Whoosh—!
It almost turned into a black blur, crossing over a dozen meters in an instant, Leaping up, Its massive body slammed into a guard!
"Ah—!!"
The guard screamed as he was directly knocked to the ground, With a crack, His head flattened instantly, his body shuddered, blood and flesh muddled beneath his face mask.
"Close the door!!"
The captain screamed, not caring that two guards were still outside, leading people to shut the small door!
Bang—!
The door closed!
"Captain, no!"
"We're still out here!"
The two abandoned guards showed fear, Screaming and banging on the door, But before they could shout much, the black-skinned rat pounced on them, In two moves, Both guards had their heads smashed!
Effortlessly, contentedly, The explosive power hidden beneath the black-skinned rat's body far exceeded its size!
With one pounce, it was like a heavy truck hitting head-on, one guard's body even flew several meters, dragging a long bloodstain in the snow.
Through the screen, Sam almost vomited at the sight of this bloody scene!
He could imagine, How bloody the scene was!
Probably, even the wind smelled of blood!
"This really is a monster!"
"Bullets can't penetrate... no, bullets can't even pierce it!"
"But, I wonder if it can withstand a barrage of gunfire! Armor-piercing bullets, and those guns with very fast firing rates, are not easy to defend against!"
Sam stroked his chin.
The black-skinned rat circled in front of the small door, looked at it, It seemed to be intelligent, silent for a while, then turned around and dragged away the battered body of the little boy.
"It just left?"
Seeing this, Sam was somewhat surprised.
He thought the black-skinned rat would attack the shelter's door!
"Not right... there are still 10 minutes to the predicted time of the mission!"
······
High-Level Reward Mission [The Calamity of Dawn],
The predicted time, Is three hours later at the Dawn shelter!
Now, There are only ten minutes left!
However, The shelter has already started to mobilize firepower, and the black-skinned rats have already retreated,
Everything, Seems to be developing in a calm direction!
"Could it be, I was wrong, and the Calamity of Dawn isn't the black-skinned rats at all!"
"Or, will the black-skinned rats come back with a vengeance in ten minutes?"
"How would they break through the shelter's iron doors!"
In front of the screen, Sam pondered for a moment, his brow slightly furrowed!
After a while, He sighed, No matter what, observing is all there is to it.
This black-skinned rat, from what we've observed so far, can defend against light firearms, but it's unknown if it can withstand heavy weapons like machine guns!
"Let's wait!"
Sam poured a cup of milk tea, sipping it while watching.
In the midst of the flying snow, A drone, like a ghost, lingered at the entrance of the shelter, The camera slightly turned.
Capturing the snowy scene and the gruesome, bloody images.
...
1 minute later.
...
2 minutes later, The small door opened, and a group of fully armed personnel carrying riot shields emerged from a distance, Followed by militants with rifles!
But they looked around, only to find a few corpses!
"They've fled!"
The security team leader came over, his expression changing, saying: "You have to believe me, there was really such a rat!"
"Mutant rat..."
One of the militants looked around and nodded: "I believe you, it's better to be cautious anyway!"
"Let's install a camera here!"
"Send a squad to guard inside the door!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
...
This person seemed to be a leader, As soon as he spoke, He set the strategy, Everyone nodded in agreement, and the security team leader also touched his forehead!
"Security team leader, go move those bodies!"
Suddenly, The militant spoke again, his tone utterly cold.
The security team leader, with a flattering smile, picked up a shovel from the ground and ran out, dragging the three killed security guards to a distance.
Finally, He arrived at Xu's corpse.
"With all this disaster, how could someone still be so fat?"
The security team leader muttered, starting to dig with the shovel!
Seeing this, Sam's gaze sharpened.
He knew that Xu's body had already mutated completely!
If it was as he had seen before, Xu's body should have totally mutated by now, his flesh and blood turned into something unknown.
That thing... would explode!
Boom—!
With a shovel down, Xu's corpse was scooped up.
The next moment!
His body, covered in grey-white scales, started to inflate wildly!
Like a doll being blown up, Xu went from "fat" to "gigantically fat"!
"What is this thing!?"
The security team leader, completely baffled, instinctively backed away.
But he was too slow!
Boom—!
Xu exploded, splattering flesh and blood everywhere, covering Xu's face!
"Ah!"
"What is this thing!"
The security team leader fell to the ground, screaming in terror.
Seeing this, The militants were horrified!
"Don't move!"
"Your radiation suit isn't torn, stop screaming!"
One of the calm militants yelled, making the security team leader calm down,
He got up with a face full of fear, Looked at his clothes stained with blood, his lips trembling slightly, and turned to look at the militants.
"Go get a radiation suit for him to change into on the spot, then let him re-enter the shelter!"
Someone spoke up, Offering a suitable solution, Seeing that the shelter hadn't abandoned him, the security team leader also breathed a sigh of relief.
Just at that moment...
His radiation suit began to "shrink," as if it had encountered acid, becoming extremely fragile and easy to tear, The security team leader had only taken a few steps when the radiation suit broke, Blood seeped in.
The security team leader felt an itching sensation and couldn't help but scratch, his expression changing!
He hurriedly looked down, To see his tattered radiation suit, His skin had already been stained with quite a bit of blood!
"Help! Help!"
His face pale, he said, "Quick! Take me to the medical station, I need radiation medicine, I need treatment!"
"Don't move!"
Several armed personnel did not hesitate to raise their rifles, One of them, who seemed to be the leader, hardened his gaze and said, "I'm sorry, but I can't let any risks enter the shelter!"
"What!? No!"
The security team leader understood what the leader meant, just as he was about to speak.
The armed personnel fired their guns!
Bang!
Bang Bang!
A volley of shots, The security team leader fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, seemingly with some reluctance.
In front of the screen, Sam nodded slightly, Deserving of those who could get firearms, the higher-ups of this shelter were indeed ruthless!
"The guns in their hands, seem to be trade firearms produced by the military department?"
Sam controlled the drone to fly over, zooming in the camera to get a clear view of those firearms...
