Chapter 11 - Fear of the Night: Mutant Creatures Attacking

As the night slowly descended like a huge black curtain over the abandoned factory, an oppressive silence filled the air. The survivors, after a day of exhaustion and struggle in this apocalyptic world, were seeking a moment of peace in their respective corners. However, what they didn't know was that a horrific crisis was quietly approaching.

Ryan stood at a high place in the factory, vigilantly watching the darkness around him. In his hand, he clutched the iron rod that had already accompanied him through countless battles, his eyes revealing deep concern. By his side, Jamie was similarly on high alert, holding a homemade spear in his hand, ready to deal with any danger that might arise.

"Something doesn't feel right tonight, everyone needs to be on alert." Ryan whispered, his voice loud and clear in the still air.

Jamie nodded, "Yeah Captain, it's quiet as hell."

On the other side of the factory, Clare was busy at the medical point. She had just finished treating the wounds of an injured survivor, her tired but still determined face. Eric and Lucas were assisting her as they were organizing medical supplies and preparing for possible emergencies.

"Clare, do you think it's going to be dangerous tonight?" Eric asked, his eyes revealing a hint of unease as well.

Clare frowned, "I don't know, but we can't take it lightly. Always be ready for possible emergencies."

The young mother held the baby and sat in a relatively safe corner with the old man. The baby was sleeping quietly in its mother's arms, as if it was oblivious to the dangers around it. The young mother's eyes were filled with worry as she held the baby close to her, praying that the night would pass without incident.

Suddenly, a low growling sound came from the outskirts of the factory. The sound seemed to come from the depths of hell, causing everyone's hearts to instantly lift. Ryan and Jamie immediately looked towards the direction of the sound, their eyes filled with vigilance.

"Something is coming!" Ryan shouted.

As the roar got closer, the atmosphere inside the factory became more and more tense. The survivors grabbed their weapons and prepared for the coming battle. Clare and Eric also quickly ran out from the medical point, and they joined the defense team.

At the gate of the factory, a few survivors in charge of the guards stared nervously into the darkness outside. The torches in their hands swayed in the wind, and the faint light seemed as if it might be swallowed by the darkness at any moment. Suddenly, a huge mutant wolf rushed out of the darkness. Its eyes flashed red, and its sharp teeth looked particularly hideous under the firelight.

"Fire!" The survivors on guard shouted as the weapons in their hands fired towards the mutant wolf. However, the speed of the mutant wolf was extremely fast as it nimbly dodged the bullets and rushed towards the gate.

Ryan and Jamie quickly ran towards the gate after hearing the gunshots. They saw that the mutant wolf had already rushed to the front gate and was hitting the barricade with great force. The barricade was shaking under the impact of the mutant wolves and could be broken through at any time.

"Jamie, let's go together!" Ryan shouted.

The two rushed towards the mutant wolf without hesitation. Ryan waved his iron rod and ruthlessly smashed it into the mutant wolf's head. The mutant wolf let out an angry growl when it was hit, and it turned around and lunged towards Ryan. Jamie took the opportunity to stab the mutant wolf's abdomen with his spear, which pierced deep into the mutant wolf's body, but the mutant wolf's strength was immense, and it flung its body, throwing Jamie out.

"Jamie!" Ryan shouted as he charged towards the mutant wolf once again. He blocked the mutant wolf's claws with his iron rod, and then pushed the mutant wolf a few steps away.

Just then, more mutated creatures emerged from the darkness. There were mutant rats, mutant spiders, and some strange creatures they had never seen before. These mutated creatures came towards the factory like a tidal wave, their growls and hisses intertwined in a creepy manner.

"Everyone hold on!" Ryan shouted, knowing that there was no way back for them now, and the only way to survive was to fight to the death.

The survivors had engaged in a fierce battle with the mutated creatures. They used the weapons in their hands to fend off the attacks of the mutated creatures, while looking for opportunities to counterattack. During the battle, people were constantly injured, but none of them backed down.

Clare and Eric also joined the fight. Clare took a metal rod she found from the medical point and slammed it hard into a mutant rat. Eric, on the other hand, used a scalpel to stab a mutant spider in the eye with precision. They weren't combatants, but they didn't hesitate to step up and fight for survival at this critical moment.

In a corner of the factory, the young mother held her baby tightly, fear in her eyes. The old man stood by her side, holding his thin body in front of him, a wooden stick in his hand, ready to protect them at any time.

"Don't be afraid, we'll be fine." The old man comforted.

However, a mutated rat rushed towards them. Without hesitation, the old man waved the wooden stick and struck towards the mutant rat. But the mutant rat was so fast that it easily dodged the old man's attack, and then pounced towards the young mother and the baby.

The young mother screamed in terror as she held the baby tightly, not knowing what to do. Just as the mutant rat was about to pounce on them, a survivor arrived just in time, and he hacked at the mutant rat with an axe, cutting it in half.

"Thanks!" The young mother said gratefully.

"You're welcome, we all fight together so we can survive." The survivor said.

During the fierce battle, Ryan noticed that the mutated creatures seemed to be attacking in an organized manner. They kept pounding the factory's fortifications, trying to find a breakthrough. Ryan realized that if they didn't find the leader of these mutant creatures or a way to control them, they would have a hard time holding out.

"Attention everyone, these mutant creatures may have a leader, we need to find it!" Ryan shouted.

The survivors began to pay attention to the mutant creatures around them, looking for a possible leader. During the course of the battle, they found a huge mutant bear that seemed to be directing the actions of the other mutant creatures. This mutant bear's body was several times larger than an ordinary bear, its eyes flashed with a bizarre light, and the hair on its body was as hard as steel needles.

"Attack that mutant bear!" Ryan shouted.

The survivors opened fire towards the mutant bear. The mutant bear let out an angry roar after it was attacked, and it started charging towards the survivors. Ryan and Jamie immediately met them and they had a fierce battle with the mutant bear.

Ryan kept attacking the mutant bear's legs with his iron rod, trying to incapacitate it. Jamie, on the other hand, stabbed the mutant bear's abdomen with his spear. However, the mutant bear was extremely strong and it slapped its claws at Ryan, sending him flying. Ryan fell heavily on the ground, and he felt as if he had broken a few ribs, but he still gritted his teeth and stood up.

"Captain!" Jamie shouted, his heart filled with rage as he saw Ryan injured. He recklessly rushed towards the mutant bear and stabbed the mutant bear's eyes hard with his spear. The mutant bear was in pain, and it swung its claws wildly, sending Jamie flying as well.

Just then, Clare thought of an idea. She saw that there were some chemical reagents in the factory, and these reagents might have some effect on the mutant creatures.

"Eric, let's bring those chemical reagents over, maybe we can deal with these mutant creatures." Clare shouted.

Eric immediately understood what Kral meant, and he ran with Lucas to the place where the chemical reagents were stored, and brought over some reagents that might be useful.

Clare picked up a bottle of reagents and threw it towards the mutant bear. The reagent bottle shattered around the mutant bear and the liquid inside splashed out. The mutant bear let out a pained roar when it came into contact with the liquid, and its body began to tremble.

"It works!" Clare shouted excitedly.

They began to continuously throw the chemical reagents at the mutant creatures, which affected the mutant creatures to varying degrees. Some of the mutant creatures had their bodies corroded by the reagents, while others were scared off by the reagent's odor.

With everyone's joint efforts, the mutant creatures' attack was gradually contained. After a fierce battle, the mutant creatures finally began to retreat. They disappeared into the darkness, leaving behind only a messy battlefield.

The survivors sat on the ground wearily, their bodies all had wounds of varying degrees, but their eyes were filled with the joy of victory. Ryan and Jamie were also badly wounded, but they knew that they had successfully defended the factory and won a chance for everyone to survive.

"We can't let our guard down, these mutant creatures might come back." Ryan said, his voice weak but full of determination.

Clare nodded, "We need to treat the wounded as soon as possible, and at the same time strengthen the factory's defenses."

On this night of doom, the survivors experienced a thrilling battle. They used their courage and wisdom to defeat the attack of the mutated creatures. But they know that there is still a long road ahead and they must continue to work hard to survive in this cruel world.
