Chapter 99 The Human Meat Grinder

Captain, the rear is also surrounded by rats!

The Moth team soldiers in the rear reported urgently.

As the crimson-eyed giant rats surged forward like a tide, numerous small holes around the tunnel also began to disgorge red-eyed giant rats. Some emerged from the direction they entered, but not as many as from the front.

Roar!!!

Goudan and Xiaofantuan slowly retreated, their expressions wary. Individually, their combat strength was formidable, and each could easily handle dozens of crimson-eyed giant rats.

However, the rat cave housed tens of thousands of crimson-eyed giant rats. They weren't merely crawling out; they were truly a flood, a veritable tide of rodents. Anyone with trypophobia would likely have died on the spot facing such a scene.

Open fire!

Captain Liu gave the decisive order.

The next moment, the piercing, intense crackle of gunfire erupted, interspersed with the shrill screams of the giant rats.

Not good! Captain, there are too many crimson-eyed giant rats ahead; our firepower can't suppress them!

After a moment of firing, the soldiers in front showed a drastic change in their expressions.

They continued to fire wildly, and even with Goudan and the others partially obscuring their vision, they accurately hit the charging giant rats, a testament to their rigorous training.

Yet, despite the ceaseless barrage of bullets, they could not halt the advance of the crimson-eyed giant rats. The bullets felt like they were hitting waves, causing minor sprays of blood that were immediately swallowed by the relentless rodent tide.

Roar!

Howl!

Many crimson-eyed giant rats had already reached their positions. Goudan and Xiaofantuan braced themselves, their sharp claws tearing and fangs crushing the heads of the giant rats.

In a single exchange, countless crimson-eyed giant rats fell at their feet. After several exchanges, they were in a frenzy. Their usual docile and cute demeanor from the livestreams was gone, replaced by a wild and ferocious aura.

In the rear and on the flanks, most of the Moth team soldiers held their ground, cooperating in small,默契 teams. The pressure was slightly less, and they were just barely holding back the crimson-eyed giant rat horde.

Pearl Subway Station, Temporary Operations Command Center.

Several military officers watched the video of the rat tide advancing, their expressions tense. Elder Song's gaze was also heavy, fixed intently on Bai Ye's figure.

Headquarters, we are encountering a large number of crimson-eyed giant rats. Situation critical. Requesting instructions.

Damn it! Light weaponry is utterly ineffective against these terrifyingly numerous rats.

Captain Liu, while firing, contacted Elder Song.

Everything is to be done according to Ye's commands.

Upon hearing Elder Song's reply, Captain Liu looked at Bai Ye, who was intently watching the tunnel ahead, and said urgently, "Ye, the crimson-eyed giant rats' assault is too fierce. Our firepower cannot provide suppression. I suggest we retreat and find an alternate path."

Though they did not fear death, they wished to avoid meaningless sacrifice, at least until they could confront the deepest part of the rat nest!

Insufficient firepower is not an issue.

Bai Ye said calmly, a slight smile playing on his lips. His gaze pierced through the rat tide, momentarily blocked by Goudan and the others, reaching towards a specific point in the depths.

He had not acted directly, fearing he might startle the Rat King of this nest and cause it to flee.

Now, however, he had pinpointed the Rat King's location.

Not an issue???

Captain Liu continued to fire, unable to resist glancing at Bai Ye with curiosity.

Goudan, Xiaofantuan, fall back.

Roar!!!

Although Goudan and Xiaofantuan were already in a bloodthirsty frenzy, they immediately retreated upon hearing Bai Ye's command. Seeing their two leaders withdraw, Quanyuan and the others also hurried to follow. The four of them had sustained numerous wounds from the crimson-eyed giant rats, with blood flowing steadily.

If Goudan and Xiaofantuan hadn't been fighting so ferociously, they would have fled much earlier.

Little did they know, without Bai Ye's presence, Xiaofantuan and Goudan would have fled far ahead of them.

Squeak squeak squeak!!

Seeing Goudan and Xiaofantuan retreat, the rat swarm immediately surged forward.

What is Ye planning to do? Why does command trust him so much to eliminate these terrifying mutated rats?

Captain Liu and several soldiers felt a mixture of tension, worry, and curiosity. Knowing that Bai Ye was about to take action, he shouted,

Ye, how should we cooperate?

Just protect yourselves.

Bai Ye walked forward, leaving behind only his retreating figure.

(⊙o⊙)???

Protect ourselves?

Captain Liu almost failed to comprehend, killing crimson-eyed giant rats charging from the side while constantly monitoring Bai Ye's movements.

Squeak squeak!!

Ahead, the crimson-eyed giant rats had reached Bai Ye, baring their sharp incisors. Some had even leaped in front of him.

Why hasn't he acted yet? This is dangerous!

Captain Liu's face paled dramatically. Meanwhile, Goudan, Xiaofantuan, and the others calmly cleaned the blood from their claws, completely unfazed.

The next moment, numerous glints of cold light flashed rapidly around Bai Ye.

Chii chii chii.

Squeak!!!

Squeak squeak!!

The charging crimson-eyed giant rats were sliced by the cold light, blood splashing out with shrill cries. No matter how many approached, none could get within inches of Bai Ye.

(゜ロ゜)!!!

Captain Liu and the few soldiers who had been watching intently were all stunned. They could only mechanically pull their triggers and fire.

As their senses returned, they squinted and faintly saw that the cold light emanating around Bai Ye was a barrage of rapidly flying ice shards.

Is this... magic???

No! It's definitely not!!!

At the Pearl Subway Station, Elder Song, always composed, also revealed a look of excitement in his eyes.

I didn't expect him to have such a skill!

The ice shards surrounding Bai Ye numbered nearly a hundred. Furthermore, each ice shard, with every flight, did not kill just one rat but all the crimson-eyed giant rats within its trajectory.

The dense rat tide stopped at Bai Ye's feet, not advancing any further.

With every step Bai Ye took, the layer of crimson-eyed giant rat corpses beneath his feet thickened. He was like a human-shaped meat grinder, slaughtering every crimson-eyed giant rat in his path!

The entire rat king tunnel was filled with a potent stench of blood, and blood began to flow like streams on the ground, forming small crimson rivers.

Squeak squeak squeak!!!

The crimson-eyed giant rats ahead were frightened and tried to retreat. However, the rat tide from behind continued to push them forward. Many crimson-eyed giant rats hadn't even decided whether to flee or fight to the death before their bodies were pierced by ice shards.

The advancing swarm of crimson-eyed giant rats piled up, almost completely blocking the tunnel. As far as the eye could see, there were only blood-red eyes and sharp, gleaming incisors, a truly horrifying spectacle.

My shoes...

Bai Ye paid them no mind. He looked down, seeing his pristine white shoes stained red, and frowned slightly.

Then, to the astonished gaze of many Moth team members, he slowly lifted off the ground.

Sig.

Suddenly, Bai Ye's voice was faintly heard. Captain Liu and the others couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock once more, like wide copper bells!
