Chapter 169 Mother Mouse's Revenge

In the sky, three golden eagles were flying at top speed.

It was Mama Golden Eagle training her two chicks in flight.

After two and a half days of training, the little golden eagles were already flying well.

Once they were completely proficient, they would be delivered to Chen Luo.

The little golden eagles were a bit weaker than their mama, and their combat experience was far less. This required some actual battles.

Chen Luo didn't mind that they were a bit weaker. As long as they looked majestic and flew fast, that was enough. He didn't expect them to fight, just to have the ability to protect themselves.

The golden eagles were actually extremely powerful. They could easily kill level eight mutated plant zombies.

Except for the likes of High Priest Heidi, the golden eagles had no rivals.

Jiang Chuxue’s Samoyed was about to give birth. With the King-level crystal, the High Priest didn't need to go out to find crystals anymore and stayed home to guard his wife.

Chen Luo rubbed his head. Sometimes, he was really envious of the High Priest.

With nothing to do, Chen Luo took Mili for a ride on a golden eagle.

Chen Luo put his arms around Mili and chuckled, "We're the Condor Heroes."

Mili giggled and suddenly pointed downwards, saying, "What's that?"

Although Mili had good eyesight, she was only level ten, so she couldn't see the specific details on the ground from an altitude of over two thousand meters.

Chen Luo looked down and saw a mass of dark spots.

Even from high altitude, the density of these dark spots was frightening, a dense, vast expanse.

Chen Luo said solemnly, "Rats."

Rats in numbers that were terrifying.

This was the first time in Chen Luo's two lives that he had seen so many rats.

Mutated rats could easily grow to thirty or forty centimeters in size, and rats a meter long were also commonly seen.

If the rats weren't big enough, the survivors wouldn't have enough to eat.

These rats stretched for several miles, and more rats were gathering from the distance.

Chen Luo saw several rats the size of small elephants in the center.

In the later days of the apocalypse, Chen Luo had seen rats the size of adult elephants, possessing level ten strength. These rats didn't surprise Chen Luo.

There were probably four or five hundred thousand rats in this group.

Although the number was large, they couldn't pose a threat to Chen Luo.

Mili's scalp tingled when she heard they were rats. She inherently hated these filthy creatures.

Mili asked, "Why are they gathering?"

Chen Luo smiled wryly, "How would I know?"

These rats could even attack a city, but they were still seven or eight hundred miles away from the base, so Chen Luo didn't pay much attention to them.

Chen Luo didn't destroy the rat horde. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he didn't have the strength.

Now that he didn't have any special abilities, was he supposed to kill them one by one with his physical strength?

The golden eagle continued to fly, and strange things happened one after another.

Right after seeing the rat horde, they saw a dense swarm of flying ants.

After mutation, these ants were the size of grasshoppers and could fly like flies. Their individual strength was far inferior to the rats, but their numbers exceeded the rat horde by many times.

Like locusts crossing the border, they left nothing behind.

Chen Luo's pupils contracted. There were some silver-white ants in the swarm, not large, about two centimeters long, but their bodies were silver-white.

These ants were very weak, but they could secrete acidic substances. Their antennae could easily penetrate human skin and secrete acid.

A single ant had almost no effect on a mutant, but once there were too many, it would make the mutant feel weak and powerless, greatly reducing their defense.

If a level seven mutant stubbornly resisted these ants and allowed them to get close, they would be gnawed until nothing but bones remained.

Although these ants couldn't threaten Chen Luo, the fear left over from his previous life still lingered in his heart.

These two creatures fully demonstrated what it meant for ants to be able to kill an elephant.

Chen Luo could attribute the rat horde to an accident, but why were both creatures acting on such a large scale?

Was something happening?

Chen Luo didn't think they were coming for him, or rather, they were coming for...

Chen Luo returned to the base but didn't tell the members to increase their vigilance.

Did they need to be told to be vigilant to notice such a large scale?

If so, they could all die.

The next day at dusk, Chen Guang reported with a pale face, "Leader, massive rat and ant hordes have been discovered fifty miles away. One unlucky base has already been destroyed."

In fact, the two groups were discovered by outgoing members when they were still over four hundred miles away, but not everything had to be reported to Chen Luo.

Chen Guang felt that these things would threaten Dawn City, so he came to report.

Chen Luo hummed, "Continue monitoring."

Were they coming for Dawn City?

Even a single King-level mutant couldn't kill so many rats at once, but Chen Luo had a lot of people.

Fearing that the sub-base wouldn't have enough manpower, Chen Luo sent another five hundred members to each. There were still more than six thousand members in the base.

Most of them were recruited later.

The firepower of so many members was fiercer than several King-level mutants combined.

The six puppies sprinted back to the base, terrified.

"Mama, that was scary, so many rats."

"I remember last time I went to pull trees with Gan-die and killed dozens of little rats. I didn't expect rats to be such terrifying creatures."

"Don't panic, we have Gan-die to rely on."

"Let's go eat shark meat."

The Paw Patrol had caused a big disaster.

Last time, Chen Luo took the Paw Patrol to the mountains to find mutated creatures. They uprooted the Enchanting Fruit Tree, and there was a rat nest underneath.

The Paw Patrol were active and killed the rats in no time.

One mother rat survived.

The mother rat held a grudge.

It remembered the puppies' scent. When the puppies went out, the mother rat secretly followed them and learned the location of the puppies' lair.

This mother rat was very special, with wisdom far exceeding its peers. It chose to be patient and didn't appear at the time. Now, its strength had also reached level seven, but it knew that it couldn't take revenge on its own.

So, it contacted several rat kings and a powerful ant queen.

Humans eat rats, and rats eat humans.

There were benefits for them in devouring humans.

The probability of rats reaching level seven was far lower than that of humans, it was too difficult, but with a large base, there were still a few.

The two major groups were heading towards Dawn City with precise direction, killing gods if they blocked their path. Not only humans, but even zombies, as long as they didn't run fast enough, would be left without a trace.

The members who had already received the news were on high alert.

The best way was actually to temporarily avoid it after receiving the news.

But Chen Luo felt that this was a very good opportunity for testing.

Some people might die, but so be it. The strong survive, and those who live are the elite.

Originally, the members weren't worried. There were several mysterious bosses in the base. What did it matter how many rats there were?

But Chen Luo shattered their illusions.

Chen Luo stood on the city wall with his hands behind his back and said loudly.

"This time, I won't take action. Everything depends on yourselves."

"Can you escape by hiding?"

"I don't care what methods you use, hold them back for me. Even if you die, you have to hold on."

"If we lose, the base's food reserves and the crops being grown will be gone. You'll all be catching rats to eat from now on."

I drank two bottles of beer at noon and felt dizzy. I slept until four o'clock. The next chapter will be posted around eight o'clock.
