Chapter 15: Rat plague in Yushan, car crash and loss of road
Wu Siyuan saw the change in Zhao Yali from the corner of his eye, but his expression remained unchanged and he said calmly, "Captain Lou... Old Lou, you are joking. By the way, what can I do for you?"
He went straight to the topic and asked.
"Brother Luo, do you know that the criminal police team is going to expand its recruitment?" Lao Lou pondered for a moment and then asked.
"I don't know, I've been busy outside during this time." Wu Siyuan replied truthfully, he really didn't know about this matter.
"Oh, indeed. That's right. Because the situation outside is becoming more and more unstable and the police force is seriously insufficient, so after approval, we are preparing to expand the police force again. The establishment of each criminal police squadron will reach 100!"
"So many?" Wu Siyuan was a little surprised.
The enrollment expansion was completed more than ten days ago, and now it is expanding again?
"Yes, times have changed." Lao Lou said in a serious tone.
Wu Siyuan was silent. It is true that times have changed. After all, it is the end of the world.
After Lao Lou was silent for a while, he considered his tone and then said, "Brother Luo, I have a relative here who wants to join the police department. Your criminal police squadron is going to expand its recruitment. I wonder if you are short of people?" p>
Wu Siyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Team Lou... Lao Lou, the criminal police team under my jurisdiction has also expanded its recruitment, right? There is no establishment?"
"That's not true. In fact, this relative is my niece. The foreign trade company she worked for closed down. Now she has nothing to do at home, so my sister asked me to find her a clerical job. I was thinking that after your criminal police team expands its recruitment, it should be
Recruit a few people responsible for clerical work..."
Foreign trade company? Uncle Interpol? Wu Siyuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Old Lou, what is your niece's name?"
"Lou Jieying!" Lao Lou said.
Wu Siyuan looked strange, hesitated, and then said, "In that case, just let her come over to do the paperwork. Don't worry, I will try my best to protect her safety."
"Thank you, Brother Luo, I'll treat you to a drink after you come back from Yushui City." Lao Lou said overjoyed.
"You're welcome! Lao Lou, I'm still eating. We'll chat next time when we have time." Wu Siyuan said.
"Okay!"
The two hung up the phone.
Wu Siyuan looked up and saw Zhao Yali's surprised eyes, "Ronaldo, are you the captain of the criminal police team now?"
"Hmm!"
"But you have only been a police officer for less than half a month."
"Maybe times have changed." Wu Siyuan picked up a piece of mutated meat and said calmly.
"..." Zhao Yali was speechless.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Two days later in the afternoon, Wu Siyuan and Zhao Yali arrived in Yushui City on a train that had been attacked by a flock of birds.
Yushui City looks depressed, even worse than Donghu City. There are very few pedestrians on the road. Most of the shops have been closed. Only a few are still open, but the iron sliding doors are half open and half covered.
The road looks like it hasn't been cleaned for a long time, with a lot of garbage accumulated and some faint red blood stains. It's obvious that something happened here not long ago.
Within ten minutes, I encountered several military jeeps passing by at high speed, filled with heavily armed soldiers, and the sound of bullets firing could be heard from a distance from time to time.
This made Zhao Yali feel uneasy. Donghu City was not so serious.
She thought about Wu Siyuan's suggestion again and remained silent all the way.
Zhao Yali's home is in a rural area, and there is no direct shuttle bus from Yushui City.
The two first took the 203 bus to the West Railway Station, and then took a bus to Shuimen. This bus would pass through Yushan, which is only a three- to four-kilometer mountainous road away from Zhao Yali's hometown.
There is only one car that goes to Watergate. Like the bus, it has been modified. The glass and windshield are welded with a grid of chopstick-thick steel bars. The body is thickened on all sides and connected to a piece of steel that is almost dragged close to the ground.
The steel plate completely covers the tires inside, making it look like a steel monster.
The difference is that the car leading to Watergate actually has some blood and minced meat on the front of the car, and the surface is also pitted, which is shocking to see.
Perhaps due to certain factors, the country has not stopped the operation of buses.
However, Wu Siyuan knew that this situation would not last long.
There were only about ten people in this car.
The driver looked very agitated and picked up his cell phone from time to time. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was gloomy.
It was obvious that he was reluctant to drive to Watergate, but he had to go due to pressure!
The atmosphere in the entire car was very depressing. Everyone except Wu Siyuan was preoccupied.
Under such circumstances, the car started slowly and drove towards Watergate.
After driving for a while, a hazy mountain peak stood in front of me in the distance. The upper layer was shrouded in clouds and mist, but the mountainside was full of potholes, with green smoke rising in some places.
This is obviously not caused by burning, but more like being bombarded by artillery shells.
Wu Siyuan had read the original work, so he knew what was going on - Yu Shui gave birth to the Rat King, and under the leadership of the mutated Rat King, a rat plague occurred. The situation was so serious that the army was dispatched to attack Yu Mountain with artillery fire.<
/p>
But this is to suppress the rat plague. In fact, the rat plague has not been completely solved.
As long as these mutant rats are given a certain amount of time, the rat plague will spread again.
But at that time, will the army come to deal with it?
Wu Siyuan shook his head inwardly and gave the answer.
At that time, the army had no time to take care of itself, and almost all ordinary humans would be killed in this disaster.
When I read the novel before, I didn’t think anything of it!
But now that I have been there, I lament that human life is like grass!
But what can he do?
"Dip! Optional mission: A-level mission, save the human fire! The more humans survive, the higher the reward will be! Phased settlement rewards! No time limit! No penalty for failure! (Accept/Cancel)!
”
The system prompt sounded in Wu Siyuan's mind.
Wu Siyuan was stunned, this was a mission that had never appeared in the original work!
Is this asking him to be the savior?
Wu Siyuan hesitated for a moment and then accepted it. There were no restrictions or punishments on the task anyway, so there was no harm in taking it!
But in this case, it seems to be different from the original male protagonist’s fate line.
He looked out the window, and in the dark, he felt an indescribable gaze falling on him. It was the four-dimensional big boss. Fortunately, although Wu Siyuan took over the task, this four-dimensional big boss
I didn’t react as violently as last time.
In other words, this mission does not affect the fate of this four-dimensional boss, so he tolerates it...?
Wu Siyuan thought silently in his heart, and suddenly a sharp cry came from his ears.
Zhao Yali was so frightened that she grabbed Wu Siyuan's hand tightly. She grabbed it so hard that her fingernails were embedded in Wu Siyuan's flesh.
However, Wu Siyuan's attention fell on the window, where a gray mouse the size of a kitten scurried across the road.
Compared with ordinary mice, this mutant mouse is very bold. It did not run away, but stood up on the roadside. Its skin was shiny, its teeth were sharp, and its blood-red eyes stared at the car maliciously.
people.
Are you treating the people on the bus as prey?
Is this the rat in the Yushan rat plague?
Wu Siyuan was thoughtful, and with a thought, he activated the [Beast Control Technique], and his thoughts spread to the mutant rat.
It can be controlled, Wu Siyuan thought, but compared to ordinary animals, this mutant rat requires more energy.
Wu Siyuan's [Animal Control Technique] can control hundreds of ordinary animals, but if it is a mutant rat, it can only control a hundred or so.
If the life energy level of the mutant rat is higher, the number of mutant rats he can control will be smaller!
In other words, these mutant rats are very smart, and their intelligence is higher than ordinary actions!
This is the effect of [Unlocking the Virus]!
Wu Siyuan controlled the mutant rat to stand still in the middle of the road. When the driver saw it, he became furious and cursed, so he increased the accelerator and crushed the mutant rat over.
The flesh and blood exploded, and the mutant rat was crushed into meat patties.
And Wu Siyuan also felt that the thread of his thoughts that controlled the mutant rat was broken.
He closed his eyes silently again.
The whole car also became quiet.
Zhao Yali also awkwardly let go of Wu Siyuan's hand, her neck turned red, and she said nothing.
The car continued to drive, and Yushan got closer and closer. It turned from an urban and rural bus road into a mountainous road, but the road conditions became worse and worse, and there were a lot of gravel on the ground.
Everything seems to be going well.
But after turning a corner, a bus blocked the intersection diagonally and remained motionless.
Seeing this situation, Wu Siyuan frowned, but it still happened.
The bus blocked the road and the car couldn't drive through. After the driver called several times irritably, there was no signal and he couldn't get through. As a last resort, he had to get out of the car with a fire ax to check the situation. Before getting off the bus, he followed the bus
A few passengers sitting in front said they would come back and open the door for him.
After the driver got out, Wu Siyuan walked to the front of the car silently.
Suddenly, the driver's screams came from the front. The driver ran towards the car desperately, and was chased by seven or eight rats. Accidentally, the driver was bitten on the thigh by the rat, but the driver, who had a strong desire to survive, still shook off the mouse on his thigh.
The mouse, dripping with blood, ran to the bus and tried his best to get the people in the bus to open the door for him.
Behind him, there are more and more rats, stimulated by the smell of blood.
The passengers who had agreed with the driver turned pale, but remained motionless. A young man wanted to open the door, but was blocked by a middle-aged woman. They were all afraid of rats following them to the car.
The one who dies is himself.
When the driver didn't open the door for a long time, his eyes fell into despair. He cursed loudly, "You sons of bitches, you're going to die!"
At this moment, the car door suddenly opened.
It was Wu Siyuan, who pressed the door button.
The driver survived the desperate situation, his eyes flashed with ecstasy, and he quickly rushed into the car.
Although Wu Siyuan closed the car door in time, the six rats following him also jumped up.
"Ah..."
Screams suddenly sounded in the car.
The passengers were running around trying to avoid the mice, the whole car was shaking, and there was chaos inside.
A gray mouse the size of a kitten rushed towards Wu Siyuan. Wu Siyuan moved and stretched out his hand, and the upgraded saber suddenly appeared in his hand.
With a flash of the sword, the mouse was chopped into two pieces.
Then with a few more knives, the heads of the other five mice were also beheaded.
At this time, there were no man-eating rats on the bus, and the cowardly and selfish passengers became quiet.
However, in just ten seconds, four or five people were bitten by rats, including the middle-aged woman who blocked the young man from opening the door.
She was seen covering the wound with one hand and still accusing Wu Siyuan, "Look at you, you're attracting all the mice, how dangerous it is!"
Wu Siyuan did not respond, but the driver at the front of the car who had been bitten on the thigh by a rat was like an enraged bull, his neck was red. He rushed to the middle-aged woman and slapped her hard.
"Crack!
Bright red palm prints appeared, and the middle-aged woman was beaten until her front teeth became loose.
"You hit me? Do you believe I'm suing you? I'm going to sue you!" the middle-aged woman screamed.
She didn't say anything, but the driver became even angrier. He slapped her again and again, "I want you to sue me! I want you to sue me! Believe it or not, I'm going to throw you away now!" The middle-aged woman's face was swollen after being beaten, but this time, she did not dare to speak.
The driver was tired and glared at the middle-aged woman fiercely. Then he looked coldly at the previous passengers in the front row. Seeing them lowering their heads in embarrassment, the driver snorted coldly and walked up to Wu Siyuan.
He said with great gratitude, "Brother, thank you for saving my life!"
"Your behavior is worthy of my saving you!" Wu Siyuan said calmly, the tip of the sword in his hand was still dripping with blood.
He pointed outside the window again, "However, we seem to be surrounded by rats."
Everyone followed his gaze and saw that outside the car window, there were densely packed rat heads.
At the foot of the mountain further away, more and more rats are swarming and running towards this side.
The outside of the car was gradually crawling with rats, the light was blocked, and the inside of the car quickly dimmed.
What frightened the passengers in the car even more was that there were rats constantly chewing on the iron wires. After a while, strands of white tooth powder mixed with black iron filings fell down.
"Ronald..." Seeing this scene, Zhao Yali trembled with fear and subconsciously called Wu Siyuan.
Wu Siyuan gave Zhao Yali a comforting look, and then said to the driver who had bandaged the wound, "I can't stay here anymore, let's drive away."
"Okay!" The driver also knew that he couldn't stay long. He walked to the driver's seat, restarted the ignition, and started the car.
"Drive forward." Wu Siyuan said to the driver.
"But the bus in front is blocking the road." The driver said with an ugly face.
"Knock it away!" Wu Siyuan said in a calm tone.
When the driver heard this, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded sharply and said, "Okay!"
As he spoke, he increased the accelerator, turned the steering wheel, and crashed into the rear of the bus in an oblique direction.
