Chapter 157 Giant Rat

Everyone discussed the ranking for a while until night fell, said good night to each other, and went back to their rooms to rest.

The rooms arranged by the hotel for the special police were of good quality. Gao Fei filled the bathtub with water and planned to take a comfortable hot bath to relieve fatigue.

As soon as he took off his clothes, Xingpan received a short message.

When he opened it, it turned out to be from Jiang Nvxia.

"I'm chatting with the policewoman! She seems to be very interested in you... I'm very entangled, hesitating whether to sell you for a good price!"

"No way!" Gao Fei quickly replied to her, "Didn't you read the news? The price of pork has dropped sharply recently. It would be a loss to sell you now? It's better to keep me until the New Year and see the market then."

"Hahaha! Stinky pig! I'll kill you and eat your meat during the New Year! What are you doing?"

"Taking a bath."

"Tsk~ You are so good at enjoying yourself! No more, good night muah!"

...

The next day, Gao Fei's team was still on duty in Heye Town.

After yesterday's rescue, all the residents of the town have been rescued. Today's task is to eliminate the remaining mutant monsters in the town.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Gao Fei and others arrived at the mission location in a police car - the largest shopping mall in the town.

Wang Daqing parked the van at the entrance of the mall. Gao Fei was the first to get off the car and looked at the three-story building opposite the parking lot.

The employees of the mall had already evacuated. The rolling shutter door that fell was violently torn apart, and the traces of bites could be vaguely seen on the edge.

Gao Fei and his party were not in a hurry to enter the mall. They first opened the star map to investigate the terrain.

In addition to the three-story building on the surface, there are two more floors under the surface.

The second underground floor is a garage, the first underground floor and the first floor are supermarkets, the second floor is a clothing store, and the third floor is an electrical appliance store.

The evacuation of personnel was too hasty, and the goods in the supermarket had not been cleaned up in time, but the water and electricity switches were all cut off.

The light in the building was dim, but with the help of the star disk, everyone could still see signs of monsters:

A group of black shadows flew on the ground and disappeared in the shadows behind the shelves in a blink of an eye.

At first, everyone thought it was a mutant dog. After careful observation, they found that the black shadows were obviously smaller than the mutant dogs, only one meter long from head to tail, and their running speed was more agile than the mutant dogs.

The star disk was collecting data while investigating. After comparing it with the illustrations, it turned out that a large group of mutant giant rats were entrenched in the mall.

Gao Fei and his team encountered a group of mutant rats yesterday. The mutant giant rats in the mall were only one letter different from them, but they were two completely different evolutionary directions.

The mutant rat group was just large in scale, and the individuals in the rat group were still the size of ordinary rats. Except for their particularly cruel and bloodthirsty temperament, the attributes of each mutant rat were not much stronger than ordinary rats. They could only gather in groups and win by numbers.

Mutated giant rats are different. They absorb more magic power and their bodies have expanded to the size of hounds. Their health points are between 10 and 20, and their challenge level is 1/8. Their attributes are: Strength 7, Agility 15, Constitution 13, Intelligence 2, Perception 10, and Charisma 4.

Due to their relatively large size, mutant giant rats do not move in groups of hundreds or thousands. They mostly hunt in groups of three or five.

These giant rats, which work together in small teams, are also good at "group tactics" like mutant dogs. They have an advantage in attack rolls when besieging the same target.

In addition, the germs carried by these giant rats are also infected by magic along with the intermediate host, and have evolved into more contagious supernatural germs!

If a human is bitten by a mutant giant rat, unless he passes a Fortitude save, he will be infected with the supernatural enhanced version of the "Black Death", suffering 1~3 (1d3) points of physical damage every day. When the physical attribute drops to 0, he will die.

A simple calculation shows that if the infected person cannot kill the bacteria with his own immunity and fails to receive timely treatment, he usually does not live more than ten days.

The number of mutant giant rats entrenched in the supermarket on the first floor of the mall and the first floor underground is conservatively estimated to be no less than 100.

Strangely, Gao Fei did not find the giant rats on the second and third floors, but he detected many huge spider webs, hanging between the walls and shelves in all directions, like layers of interlaced curtains.

It is still difficult to judge whether the giant rats did not run upstairs to move around because they were afraid of the weavers of these huge spider webs, or simply because the supermarket downstairs has provided them with enough food to enjoy, and the clothes and household appliances upstairs do not suit their appetite.

Before launching the action, the six members of the team held a meeting to discuss the battle plan.

The front and back doors of the mall have been destroyed by the giant rats. In order to ensure that these little monsters are caught in one fell swoop, Ma Tao proposed to split the troops into two groups and attack from the front and back.

"We will be divided into two groups. Brother Fei, Jiang Feng and Qi Tian will enter the mall from the main entrance to kill the giant rats. Jia Jia, Brother Da Qing and I will guard the back door of the mall to prevent the giant rats from escaping through the back door."

Everyone agreed with Ma Tao's plan, but before taking action, it will take an hour to reconfigure the free attributes and free specialties and adjust the secondary profession against the giant rats.

Gao Fei is a level 3 Tiangong special police officer. One free attribute is still added to strength. There are two free specialties, "Perseverance" remains unchanged, and "Power Attack" is changed to "Tenacity".

With the "Tenacity" specialty, Gao Fei will gain an advantage in the toughness exemption against negative states such as "Bleeding", "Poisoning" and "Disease". If he is bitten by a giant rat, he can avoid infection with the Black Death to the greatest extent.

The space inside the mall is relatively small and filled with a lot of flammable items, which is not suitable for the huge red dragon to move.

Gao Fei locked the secondary profession on "Astrologist". If close combat is needed, it is not too late to switch to "Dragon Warrior" or "Berserker".

Jiang Feng's sandworm is also huge and inconvenient to move between the shelves in the mall. She accepted Gao Fei's suggestion and switched the secondary profession to "God Fist" and upgraded it to level 2.

Level 2 "God Fist" can learn "God Blessed Armor", perception correction is counted as defense, and it is compatible with light armor such as "Riot Suit".

In addition, the level 2 God Fist can also awaken two 0-ring divine arts, one of which must be "Holy Fire Art", and the other can be chosen by yourself.

Considering that "Holy Fire Art" has the dual characteristics of "Glorious" and "Flame", it is possible to ignite the debris in the mall when attacking the giant rat. Jiang Feng chose "Water Making Art" as the second 0-ring divine art.

If a fire is caused by accident, there is no need to use a fire extinguisher. You can use the "water-making technique" to artificially rain and put out the fire.

Jiang Feng has been promoted to a level 3 Tiangong special police. His two free specialties are "Mastery of Dodge" and "Anti-tooth". The "blitz tactics" have taken shape.

Qi Tian is still a level 2 Tiangong special police, and his main secondary occupation is a level 2 animal trainer.
