Chapter 51: Pseudo-mutant rat swarm

Zhao Yin immediately recognized that it was the sound of human footsteps and looked back.

Song Xiaodao was already fast asleep. The little monkey and the old cow had opened their eyes, all with alert looks.

"Old Cow, you stay in the tent. Monkey, come with me to take a look."

After Zhao Yin finished communicating with his mind, he took the little monkey out of the invisible tent.

Boom!

Thunder rumbled in the sky, followed by heavy rain, which soaked Zhao Yin in an instant.

The little monkey's armor was shining from the water.

Zhao Yin narrowed his eyes and looked forward. In the dark night, four figures were running wildly, about three or four hundred meters away from Zhao Yin.

There were two men and two women, all of whom looked young. The two women were empty-handed, while the two men, one was holding a shovel and the other was holding a crowbar.

They looked panic-stricken, and from time to time someone would be tripped by the vines, only to be immediately helped up by their companions.

The direction they were running towards was exactly where Zhao Yin was.

"There are zombies ahead!"

As several people approached, a girl with disheveled hair and black-framed glasses pointed at Zhao Yin and the little monkey and shouted.

"Take a detour!" another short-haired girl said in panic.

"No, the road is too slippery. Only this section of the road is flat. Otherwise, Captain Wang and his men will not be able to hold on... There's no way we can outrun those damn rats!"

After a tall young man finished speaking, he anxiously said to another young man with a flat head: "Xiao Hong, let's go kill these two zombies!"

"Kill...kill the zombies?" asked the young man with a trembling voice.

"It's too late, hurry up!" The girl with glasses urged: "Hong Xiaotian, are you still a man? Didn't you say you would protect us?"

Upon hearing this, the flat-headed young man gritted his teeth and his expression was no longer hesitant.

He followed the tall young man with a shovel in his hand, and they both ran quickly towards Zhao Yin.

As the two men approached, Zhao Yin gradually saw clearly that the faces of the two young men were gradually turning pale.

Their clothes were all tattered, but were washed clean by the rain and stuck to their bodies wetly.

squeak...

The little monkey seemed to feel threatened and suddenly became manic. Zhao Yin raised his hand and patted its head: "Don't be impatient."

The two young men were stunned and stopped.

"You...are you a human?" asked the young man with a flat head.

In the dark and rainy night, they couldn't see Zhao Yin's face clearly.

"What scares you so much? Is it zombies?" Zhao Yin asked.

They were sure that Zhao Yin was not a zombie, and they all seemed to be relieved. Hong Xiaotian put down the shovel in his hand and said anxiously: "Brother, run quickly, there is a group of rats chasing us!"

"Rat?" Zhao Yin's eyes lit up.

"Brother, that's not an ordinary mouse, it's bigger than a dog...!"

Before Hong Xiaotian finished speaking, there was a roar behind him, even covering up the sound of rain, like thousands of troops galloping.

"Xiao Hong, stop talking and run!" The tall young man at the side pulled Hong Xiaotian. The two girls behind him had already passed them and ran to the front.

The few people did not notice Zhao Yin's invisible tent. After running more than ten meters, Hong Xiaotian looked back and saw that the man was still standing there, with the "child" in strange clothes behind him.

At this time, Zhao Yin used all his eyesight to see the group of rats clearly.

There were about three or four hundred of them, each the size of a medium-sized dog. They flattened all the weeds and vines as they passed.

"Brother, run quickly, why are you standing there like an idiot?" Hong Xiaotian had already run several hundred meters away and turned back to shout loudly to Zhao Yin.

"Who cares what he does? Who can he blame if he wants to die?" said the girl with glasses.

"Captain Wang and the others are probably already dead. If no one is here to hold back the rats for us, we won't be able to escape back to the shelter. It would be better if he could delay them for a while." said the tall young man.

The short-haired girl at the side frowned and said nothing, but quickened her pace to follow the three people.

Soon, the four disappeared in the rain.

[Rat: Grade F, Strength 25, Agility 36, Stamina 12, Spirit 2, mutated after being infected by the zombie virus]

[Rat: Grade F, Strength 24, Agility 35, Stamina 13, Spirit 1, mutated after being infected by the zombie virus]

[Rat: Grade F...]

Zhao Yin opened his eyes of true vision and discovered that they were indeed a group of pseudo-mutant beasts.

The difference between pseudo-mutant beasts and mutant beasts is that mutant beasts are natural mutations and have superpowers, while pseudo-mutant beasts mutate from the zombie virus and have no superpowers!

Pseudo-mutant beasts are also living beings, and Zhao Yin can also contract with them.

Zhao Yin immediately rushed into the invisible tent and picked up the sleeping Song Xiaodao.

"Zhao Yin, what are you doing?" Song Xiaodao asked.

The next moment, Zhao Yin rushed out of the invisible tent, and the rain instantly woke Song Xiaodao up.

Old Cow also followed out and looked up at the group of rats opposite.

At this time, the rat group was less than 300 meters away from Zhao Yin.

Song Xiaodao and Lao Niu were both shocked.

"Master, do you want to... run?" The old cow was actually feeling timid in his heart.

These are hundreds of F-class pseudo-mutant beasts, not hundreds of zombies!

Apart from the fact that they have no special powers, they are not much different from mutant beasts.

Zhao Yin said nothing, and directly took out all the chestnut thorn balls in the space ring, and ordered loudly: "Work together and spread the thorn balls."

Song Xiaodao immediately understood Zhao Yin's idea: "Set a trap?"

"quick!"

A machete appeared in Zhao Yin's hand. He swung it with force, and the blade pushed through the pile of thorn balls. Countless thorn balls flew out immediately and landed on the path that the rats had to pass.

When the little monkey was picking chestnuts, he accidentally touched the thorn ball and was pricked by it. This shows the power of this mutated plant, otherwise Zhao Yin would not have allowed them to occupy his space.

Song Xiaodao also took out his Tang sword and imitated Zhao Yin to hit the thorn ball beside him.

But the fastest one is the little monkey. After it activates its ability to grow larger, every time it swings its mace, hundreds of kilograms of thorn balls are spread out.

The old cow used its horns and hooves, and the thorn ball pierced its hide, causing it to gasp in pain...

Ten seconds later, Zhao Yin shouted, "Retreat!"

All the thorn balls have been deployed and the rats have arrived.

Zhao Yin led Song Xiaodao and the two beasts to retreat to the invisible tent.

Three or four hundred dog-sized rats were everywhere in the mountains, all with bloodshot eyes. They rushed over with madness, their sharp claws trampling the mud.

Chi Chi…

The first mouse rushing in the front instantly stepped on the thorn balls set up by Zhao Yin. It screamed in pain and subconsciously jumped high to avoid it. But the next moment, its body fell on several other thorn balls and its whole body began to twitch.

Then, all the mice in the front stepped on the thorn ball, and the scene just now was repeated...

For a while, the chirping sound was endless, which hurt Zhao Yin's eardrums.

"Get ready. After the rats rush through the trap, try to knock them out. If that doesn't work, kill them!" Zhao Yin stood in the heavy rain and ordered loudly.

Thousands of pounds of thorn balls are enough to hang a few on almost every mouse.

Although not fatal, their agility was greatly reduced and their speed gradually slowed down.

Finally, the first mouse rushed out of the trap, with a dozen thorn balls all over its body, blood flowing, and rushed towards Zhao Yin's team with red eyes.

Then, the second one, the third one...

It seemed that they also knew that those thorn balls were set up by the guys in front of them.

Those blood-red eyes were filled with hatred.

Zhao Yin took out the compound bow and shot an arrow.

puff!

The closest mouse was immediately pierced through one of its hind legs by an arrow. Its body tilted and it continued to limp towards this side, only to be met with Zhao Yin's second arrow.

The other hind leg of the mouse was instantly pierced by the arrow, and it no longer posed a threat to Zhao Yin's team.

Zhao Yin ignored it and aimed at another mouse. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... arrows shot out like a string of beads. In the blink of an eye, four or five mice were crawling on the ground with difficulty on their two front legs.
