"Everyone come closer! Adult men gather the elderly, children, and women in the middle. Everyone looks for something nearby to hit the rats. Don't let the rats get close to the crowd!" Qingchen shouted: "Those who are still in the house, come out quickly.
Join us and we must leave!"
He used the puppet as a knife and shuttled through the long street like a shadow. Any mice that tried to get close were cut in two by the sharp puppet.
With Qingchen's speed, he was able to protect the crowd airtight, but he did not try to use the power of thunder again, keeping it as his trump card.
Because he didn't know if Jindai had a regular army ambushing in this city. If so, Wuju was his real trump card in the face of hot weapons.
The string puppet was completely invisible in the dark night. As it passed through the mouse, Qingchen only felt that the thread passed through the mouse without any hindrance.
Cut the skin and muscles, cut off the bones and fascia, and the mouse will be wiped out in an instant.
At this time, Qingchen was surprised to find that the puppets were actively sacrificing the corpses of the rats. After following him for a long time, the taboos that were originally taboos began to eat everything!
When the puppet sacrificed the rats, its threads grew very slowly, but Qingchen clearly noticed that its fourth thread was indeed growing.
After experiencing the battle in Forbidden Land No. 002, the fourth thread of the puppet was immediately formed, with only a slight difference.
Qingchen suddenly wondered, if he sacrificed all the rats in the city, could he directly make the puppets grow nine silk threads?
However, Qingchen had no time to pay attention to his harvest now.
There are probably more than 300 refugees alive on Long Street in the Fourth District.
Old people, women, men, children.
Boxers, gamblers, spectators, vendors, waiters.
There are all kinds of people, and Qingchen wants them to shrink together and hug tightly to protect the old, weak, women and children.
At this time, rats are still raging in various bars, residential buildings, and boxing gyms, which are the places with the most humans.
Therefore, as long as people on the street unite a little more, they may still be able to escape alive.
Qingchen defined the reproduction number of rat groups into three stages.
When he was on the whale island, he once said to the time walkers: "The rats before the return belong to the first stage. They have just swallowed the corpse of the god Chichi and are in the early stages of reproduction. At this time, they do not dare to go up in an open and honest manner.
Attacking human beings on the street can only slowly erode the boundaries of human beings in dark corners."
"After time travel, we may face the second stage of the rat swarm. At that time, rats will take to the streets and begin to invade various urban areas in an organized and disciplined manner. They will try to drive people into the streets and flee, or they will
It is possible for people to be driven into the building and become turtles in the urn. Remember, at this time, the number of rats is not enough to cover the whole city, or even only one third. Their purpose of attacking humans is to eat. If you encounter the third
In the second stage, we must unite and fight while running. Only when we reach the lower third area can we be temporarily safe."
"Then comes the third stage. By that time, the rats have wiped out more than half of the humans in the city. Their population has increased five times or even ten times. City No. 10 will become their territory. At this time, in addition to defending the lower third district, we
There is no choice but to wait for rescue."
In Qingchen's view, this is only the second stage. As long as everyone unites, there is still a chance of survival.
But things backfired.
When the formation shrank, a few strong boxers actually pushed towards the center of the crowd. Once a rat pounced on them, they blocked the people around them as shields, and even pushed women out to attract the rat's attention.
.
A boxer was tall and burly. He easily lifted an old man in his hands and used the old man as his shield.
Several strong boxers ran for their lives to protect themselves, and shouted to Qingchen: "Run quickly, don't stay here! Don't wait for the people in the bar!"
Qingchen's face grew colder, he saved people because he arranged for countless people to die in his plan.
More than 600 Kunlun members and 12,000 family members are all risking their lives for his goal.
Those people were dying one after another. Thinking of all this, Qingchen couldn't continue to be selfish.
Otherwise, what he said to Iodophor, Luo Wanya, and Xiaosan would all become hypocritical jokes.
Qingchen wants to be a good person, but that doesn't mean he is a bad person.
He grabbed a haggard man who looked like a gambler and asked, "Do you recognize these three boxers? Have you ever bet on them?"
The gambler nodded: "I know them. They are all land cruise-level boxers. These three grandsons all like to fight fake matches..."
"What's your name?" Qingchen roared.
"Chen Chuan, Lu Chi, Wang Gan," the gambler was so frightened that he immediately said all the names he knew.
The string puppet's conditions were harsh. If it were a frontal battlefield, he would have no chance to ask the soldier's name, so the string puppet could only be used as a knife.
And these three famous boxers are the puppets Qingchen needs most!
The next moment, Qingchen had squeezed through the crowd and came to the three boxers.
The boxer realized something was wrong and wanted to punch Qingchen, but all he saw was Qingchen's cold expression.
But he saw that the young man just turned his head slightly and dodged the punch with great ease.
Land cruise class?
Those were all leftovers from Qingchen's play. I don't know how long ago, he was the land cruise boxing champion in City 18.
This title sounds bluffing, but it only corresponds to a D-level transcendent.
In an instant, the transparent silk thread in Qingchen's hand suddenly separated and was wrapped around the wrists of the three boxers extremely skillfully.
The marionette was excited.
At the end of each silk thread, it opened its mouth like a small snake and plunged into the wrist veins of the three boxers.
In the past few months, it has been used as a knife by Qingchen.
Among the previous owners of the string puppet, two of them separated 18 silk threads, which was its peak state.
Now, in order to remind Qingchen of its original function, the puppet even eats mice!
It’s not easy!
This guy finally remembered his original function as a forbidden object!
In the panic of the crowd, no one noticed what Qingchen did. Immediately afterwards, the three boxers volunteered to fight their way out of the crowd and patrolled around the crowd to protect everyone.
A swarm of rats surrounded them, but these three people were not afraid in the face of danger. While shouting at everyone not to be afraid, they fought separately at extremely fast speeds, but they were blocked by the swarm of rats.
The gambler who had just been questioned by Qingchen felt that the three boxers suddenly became more powerful...
It's not that I suddenly became brave, it's that I became really powerful.
The movement and exertion of force conform to a certain pattern and rhythm, and the breathing rate and movement bursts work together perfectly, making even a layman find it pleasing to the eye.
Gamblers think to themselves that you are so powerful, you were really cheating on the match before!
But what the gambler didn't know was that the three boxers suddenly became powerful, not because they were powerful themselves, but because Qingchen controlled them with all his heart.
At this time, a mouse jumped up, trying to get past the three people and rush into the crowd, forcing the crowd to disperse.
But when the mouse was flying in the air, it was cut in half by an unknown sharp weapon. The next second, the mouse's body was reduced to ashes in the air.
Sacrificed.
A few more rats swooped down, but in the night it was as if someone had used a knife to pull a life-cutting net into it, with Qingchen as the axis and the three boxers as the fulcrum, firmly protecting the refugees.
All this happened in the darkness, Qingchen was like a chess player holding three chess pieces and using them all at once.
The multi-tasking technique that I have been practicing hard on for many years has finally come in handy.
Qingchen shouted: "Don't panic, everyone. Just like us, we take the initiative to defend against the rats. They are just a little faster and not that scary! All adult men, please stand up for me. If I see anyone hiding behind a child,
If you get behind the old man, kill him immediately!"
At this time, City No. 10 was dark and frightening. When the refugees heard Qingchen's words, they felt like they had been given a shot in the arm. Finally, more than a dozen men were willing to stand up and help kill the rats together.
Among them, 12 are young people and only 2 are middle-aged.
The remaining middle-aged men still chose to hide in the crowd and watch others fight.
Qingchen felt uneasy. There were more and more rats on the street. They worked hard to kill them for a long time, but the crowd could not move forward many meters.
At this moment, in a private club facing the street, someone panicked and rushed out screaming.
The first person who rushed out was a waiter, followed closely by a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, and beside him were two women wearing gold sequined evening dresses and high heels.
Four bodyguards guarded these people, looking hurriedly. They used candles to illuminate the light and help their employers guide the way.
When the refugees saw the two women through the light, they shouted in surprise: "Wang Wenwen, Zhou Yuiyi!"
Wang Wenwen and Zhou Yuiyi are both well-known female stars in the Federation, and they are considered to be the top stars in the Federation's film and television industry. No one expected to bump into these two female stars fleeing with everyone at this time.
Qingchen actually knew the middle-aged man next to the two female stars, Chen Luwen, the congressman for the 13th city constituency!
This congressman is a branch of the Chen family and one of Chen's representatives in the federal political center. His speeches are inspiring and provocative. He just passed an employment bill a few days ago.
In front of television cameras, Chen Luwen once said impassionedly that the federal employment rate would immediately increase and people's lives would become happier.
Four bodyguards escorted the employer and the two ladies into the crowd, hiding carefully.
Qingchen didn't need to look to know that there must have been a rat wave in the private club.
In order to prevent rats and cockroaches, the sewers of private clubs in the Federation are specially treated with trans-type floor drains. Under normal circumstances, rats cannot climb up at all.
But they underestimated the tyranny and wisdom of the rats. The rats actually broke open the sealed floor drain and captured the private club.
Qingchen glanced at the four bodyguards, who should be wearing firearms, so Qingchen shouted: "Bodyguards, come here to help, let's fight out together!"
The four bodyguards just moved, but Chen Luwen said sternly: "Whose bodyguards are you? Stay with me, and you are not allowed to go anywhere."
Qingchen frowned and shouted from the air: "If we don't come out to help, everyone will die. The best way for us now is to get out!"
Chen Luwen sneered and said to the bodyguard: "Don't listen to him, you only need to protect the three of us. When the power was cut off just now, Li Ling had already gone to find the garrison to respond. They should be here soon!"
When the power went out, Chen Luwen did not panic. Instead, as a member of Congress, he immediately sent someone to look for the garrison.
There were officers inserted by Chen in the army, so it was impossible to let something happen to him, a member of Congress.
Qingchen's face turned cold, but it was good news that the garrison was about to arrive.
There are 50,000 garrison troops stationed in the city. If a member of Congress sends someone to ask for help, the other party will definitely send troops to respond.
Simply because, the congressmen are the protagonists of this political center city.
"Boss, I've thought of a way to prevent the rat infestation!" someone in the crowd shouted.
Qingchen looked back and saw Zhang Mengqian in the crowd taking off his clothes, cutting the clothes into four strips with the dagger he carried, and then wrapping them around the necks of the four children.
The little boy has discovered that the human neck aorta is the priority target of all mice. Only in this way can humans' resistance ability be effectively relieved.
Therefore, wrapping clothes around the neck is a good protective measure.
Once the main arteries of the neck are protected, even if a mouse bites the body a few times, the injured person will not die immediately. If the injured person can be treated in time and vaccinated, the injured person will most likely survive.
Zhang Mengqian himself is only a 14-year-old child, but he is taking care of others in the crisis.
Qingchen controlled the string puppets to block the tide of rats and said, "Well done, everyone here immediately took off their coats and wrapped them around their necks. Don't give the rats a chance to bite you to death!"
The refugees panicked and followed the instructions one after another.
A young man in charge of the perimeter had just put his coat around his neck when he saw a mouse crawling through the leaked gap to the bottom of his feet, pulling on his clothes and crawling all the way up.
However, when it climbed to the neck, it found that there was no place for its mouth.
The mouse wanted to bite through the clothes, but the denim clothes were too strong. It took several bites but could not get through the layers of clothes.
In anger, it could only bite the young man's ear and bite off a piece of flesh!
When the refugees in the crowd saw this scene, they all helped swat the mice and shouted: "It works, this method really works!"
As long as the mouse can't bite the person to death at once, the person still has a chance to fight back!
While he was talking, the roar of vehicle engines could be heard in the distance, and more than a dozen diesel off-road vehicles were seen speeding over. Dozens of garrison soldiers in the vehicles carried automatic rifles and fired wildly at the rats they saw along the road.
There is also a heavy machine gun in the back of the off-road vehicle, which can fire 600 rounds of ammunition a minute.
When the residents were in panic and helpless, their eyes lit up when they saw the garrison: "Quick, quick, quick, the garrison is coming to save us!"
With that said, everyone rushed towards the garrison.
But Qingchen secretly thought that these garrison troops didn't seem to understand what was happening in BC City. They didn't even realize that this rat plague was not temporary at all, but a real disaster.
At this time, more than a dozen off-road vehicles will not help at all. Although shooting the rats with machine guns can kill many rats, this behavior is too high-profile.
Qingchen knew very well that although the garrison in City No. 10 was well-equipped, under the deliberate control of the consortium, they were not allowed to participate in actual combat or participate in exercises.
Just because the sixth president once tried to use the No. 10 City Garrison as his own armed force to fight against the consortium.
After the consortium suppressed the incident, how could it be allowed to happen again?
Therefore, more often than not, this garrison is more like an exquisite display in the political center without real combat experience.
Such an army cannot stop the rat tide at all!
The most critical thing is that it is impossible for a high-profile force of dozens of people to lead more than 300 people to the garrison camp. These people only have the congressman in their eyes. Once they pick up the congressman, they will evacuate immediately!
The garrison is not here to rescue refugees, they will kill all the refugees who want to be rescued!
Moreover, the direction the garrison came from was exactly opposite to the Lower Third District.
Qingchen couldn't go to the garrison camp with them. He had to go to the parents' association and fight with his family!
At this time, Qingchen shouted loudly: "Don't go there! Don't go there, the garrison won't take you with them, it's dangerous! They are not here to save us!"
However, with boxers on one side and federal garrison troops on the other, how will the refugees choose?
As a last resort, Qingchen controlled three puppets and started beating the refugees with his fists: "Get back, no one is allowed to get close to that garrison!"
He single-handedly stopped all the refugees.
In the crowd, a woman cried: "What are you doing? Let us pass quickly. Do you want to kill us?"
Everyone looked at Qingchen and the three boxers with horrified and puzzled looks.
But Qingchen didn't explain that much: "Don't go there, they can't save us with their little strength!"
Chen Luwen was trapped in the crowd. Seeing that he could not get close to the garrison, he roared: "Are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing?! Get out of my way! Bodyguard, shoot me.
Beat them to death!"
The four bodyguards reached under their ribs, but before they could react, Qingchen had already arrived in front of the bodyguards and handed over everyone's firearms in the blink of an eye.
Just when the four bodyguards were angry, they saw a swarm of rats like a black tide suddenly appearing at the intersection where the garrison was. Even the rat tide that besieged Qingchen and the others left behind these more than 300 refugees and headed towards them.
The garrison rushed forward.
This garrison was so high-profile that they shot countless rats along the way, and finally attracted the attention of the Rat King.
Qingchen looked around and saw no trace of the Rat King, which showed that the other party was fully capable of controlling the rats from a distance.
This is bad news. Human communication is cut off, but the rats have more efficient communication capabilities. Is this the ability of the Rat King after entering the extraordinary realm?
I saw a vast swarm of rats, fearlessly firing heavy machine guns as they surged towards the garrison.
In an instant, the dozen or so off-road vehicles were surrounded!
The refugees who had just yelled at Qingchen were stunned in place. Even if they were just ordinary people who had not participated in the battle, they knew that this garrison was going to be finished!
The firearms roared, and the firearms held by the soldiers only had 30 rounds of magazines, and the magazines of the heavy machine guns only had 1,200 rounds of ammunition.
It was pleasant to suppress the fire, but the rats had dozens or hundreds of times the amount of ammunition they had, and they couldn't finish them off.
When the soldiers were changing their magazines, the firepower stopped for a moment before being completely overwhelmed by the rat tide.
Until this moment, the refugees finally stopped and stopped rushing towards the garrison.
They remembered what Qingchen had just said, and immediately forgot about Qingchen's punches and kicks against them, and showed gratitude on their faces.
Qingchen shouted loudly: "Everyone, stop talking. Take advantage of the rat tide to surround the garrison and follow me immediately!"
He started running quickly, with more than three hundred refugees running wildly behind him.
Female star Wang Wenwen pulled Chen Luwen's bodyguard: "You carry me!"
With that said, she jumped on the bodyguard's back. At this point, she couldn't even bear to take off her high heels!
Another female star, Zhou Yui, was running. Her high heels ran away at some point, leaving her bare feet on the ground.
When she saw Wang Wenwen's actions, she followed suit and got on the back of another bodyguard: "Carry me, and I'll give you two million if you survive!"
A disaster has just broken out, and power and money in this world are still useful.
But Qingchen knows that it won't take long for people's inherent worldview, values, and outlook on life to be overturned by the crisis between life and death.
Qingchen urged in a cold voice: "Shut your mouths and run silently. No one is allowed to make loud noises. No one is allowed to stop unless I say stop!"
At this time, Chen Luwen had stopped talking and could only lower his head and follow the team to escape. He finally realized the seriousness of the problem!
In the dark night, while observing the environment, Qingchen tried his best to listen to the movements on the streets: "Turn left!"
As he spoke, he led the refugees to turn left at the intersection.
"Turn right!"
"Stop! Shut up!"
Qingchen's figure came to an abrupt halt, and no one knew why. The next moment, the sound of dense footsteps of a marching rat wave could be heard in the next block.
The sound of the hard and sharp claws touching the ground made everyone's hair stand on end.
Zhang Mengqian struggled to hold the four children in his arms and covered their mouths with his arms to prevent them from making any sound.
The refugees were so frightened that they even forgot to breathe.
"keep going!"
The team takes action again.
Qingchen's goal was very clear. While the rats were still dispersed in search of food, he would lead the group back to the sixth area.
It borders the Lower Third District. To reach the Lower Third District, you only need to trek more than thirty kilometers through the Sixth District.
Moreover, the Sixth District was one of the first administrative districts to experience a rat infestation, and he came from there.
Since it was the first place where the outbreak occurred, the rat tide has probably eaten away the area.
A tide of rats without food will never stay in an empty area. They will invade other administrative areas in an organized and planned way.
So, what was once the most dangerous place may now be the safest.
At this time, the refugees also discovered a problem. The young man leading the way seemed to be able to predict and avoid every march of the rats.
Turn left, turn right, stop, these orders gradually became subconscious orders in the minds of the refugees.
Human beings are like this. When they are panicked and helpless, once there is only one voice left in the team, they will blindly follow it no matter whether it is right or wrong.
Qingchen calculated the distance and found that they still had more than 20 kilometers to reach District 6. This journey would be the most difficult.
While running, a middle-aged man suddenly saw an empty gold shop on the street.
He was stunned for a moment, pulled his wife's arm, and motioned for her to look over.
There was no one in the dark gold shop, and there should be no rats. If there were any, the young man leading the team should have warned him.
Things like mice will be eliminated by the federal army sooner or later, but gold cannot be obtained for free at any time!
Just when Qingchen stopped to wait and avoid the rat tide, the middle-aged couple quietly broke away from the crowd in the dark and ran towards the gold shop.
Just entering the gold shop, the man looked carefully and made sure he didn't hear any strange noise before urging: "Quick, quick, quick, load the gold. After you finish packing, hurry up and follow the team!"
They wanted to open the counter, but the counters were locked.
The couple found the key in the pocket of the teller's body on the ground, opened the counter and stuffed the strings of gold necklaces into their pockets until all the pockets were filled.
The two of them were excited and fearful, and the huge benefits had gone to their heads.
House loans, car loans, everything has been taken care of. With this gold alone, they can live a high-society life.
The woman's neck and wrists were already covered with gold ornaments, making her look like a wealthy country bumpkin.
The satisfied man gradually regained his senses and said: "Okay, stop pretending, hurry back to the team, you have to spend your money with your life."
However, when the two quietly walked out of the gold store, they found that the street outside had become empty for a while.
The team that was supposed to be hiding from the marching rat tide on the street has long since disappeared!
"What to do! Where have they gone?" The wife began to feel real fear.
"Quick, quick, run forward two steps to find them! They shouldn't be far away yet!" the man said.
The two people ran towards the intersection, but as soon as they got there, they heard dense scratching sounds.
The couple slowly turned back, and were shocked to see a tide of rats rolling over them like black water.
They ran back wildly, but they couldn't outrun the tide of rats.
The next moment, the black tide submerged the two men together with the gold.
After just 10 seconds, the rat tide continued to move forward, revealing two white skeletons on the ground, as well as the gold jewelry on the skeletons' wrists and necks.
Of course Qingchen heard the news of them leaving the team, but since the Bodhisattva didn't cross over to the fool, he naturally didn't either.
All he did was to live up to his conscience and to be worthy of the efforts of Kunlun and his family. If he returns to Whale Island in 6 days and someone asks, what are you doing as a commander when everyone is dying one after another.
Qingchen didn't want to disappoint those who asked the question at that time, nor did he want to disappoint those who never questioned his decision.
