Epoch of Twilight

"It's good to have this group of cannon fodder." The boss of the five took a dog's leg knife and beheaded a mutant mouse that slipped through the net, and said to Luo Yuan.

His name is Huang Yaoguang, and he was originally the security captain of a company. A few days after the company closed down, he recruited a few men and took root in the garbage dump. If Luo Yuan hadn't rescued the rat tide last time, they would have been turned into bones. So as soon as he set off, he and his brothers followed Luo Yuan closely, never leaving.

"A group of rabble, if there is any danger, I'm afraid they will disperse!" Luo Yuandao, looking up into the distance, there are faint shadows in front of this garbage dump of several square kilometers, even though many people have left, there are still thousands of people gathered. people.

The scale of this rat wave is extremely large, probably the largest in the past half month. The further they went, the more frequent the battles, and the more corpses on the ground. Occasionally, a few mutant rats could be seen gnawing on the corpses, dragging their intestines and internal organs all over the ground.

The smell of blood mixed with the unique stench of the garbage dump formed a strange and disgusting smell.

"Look, what's there?" Someone in front suddenly shouted loudly!

Everyone looked at it immediately, and saw a gray blanket moving over a hundred meters away. There was a sudden burst of gunfire ahead, and the crowd was in a commotion. A small group of people started to run back desperately, but more people ran towards that side. The scene was extremely noisy.

This is not a blanket, but a swarm of rats with a radius of hundreds of meters. Countless mutant rats gather together and push forward like a wave.

"Let's go, where the Mouse King must be." Chen Haiyan shouted loudly.

After speaking, he ran forward.

Everyone quickened their pace and rushed to the front line of the battle. When they saw it, they couldn't help but gasped.

Rats were densely packed everywhere in front of them, and the rat swarm covered several garbage mountains. What could be seen was only the tip of the iceberg, but even so, there were no less than a thousand of them.

If it wasn't for the fact that there were still hundreds of people around who were still fighting, and there were even more people rushing this way, he might have already retreated.

"Kill!" Chen Haiyan yelled, and took the lead to rush into the rat swarm, cutting several rats into the air with a few knives. Cutting, wiping, belting, spreading, pulling, cutting and other knife methods, the surrounding mice can't get close at all.

"Boss Luo, what should we do?" Huang Yaoguang and the others were not the ones called by Chen Haiyan, and they also admired Luo Yuan. Seeing this, they did not attack immediately, but instead asked Luo Yuan.

"But a few mice are not enough for us to kill. You stand behind me and help me block the mutant mice on both sides." Looking at Chen Haiyan's performance, Luo Yuan also became a little excited.

"Okay, the back is wrapped around us, unless we step over our corpses, there will never be a mouse missing?" Huang Yaoguang knew that in this way, their pressure would be much lighter, so he immediately promised.

Luo Yuan nodded, lifted the knife and walked forward.

After such a long period of training, his sword skills have been raised to thirteen points, and compared with the last time he went to Yushui City, his strength has improved even more. The whole knife was like an arm in his hand, and it was integrated into one. I saw the light of his knife flickering, and before the mice approached, they were cut up and dismembered by him, and blood spattered everywhere.

Compared with Chen Haiyan's martial arts sword technique, his knife style does not have many tricks, every move and style is extremely concise, and there is never any redundant movement. If you want to talk about the characteristics, there is only one word "quick", which is too fast to cover your ears. Most people can't even see it clearly, and it has already been cut out with a single knife. As a result, Huang Yaoguang and the others who followed him on both sides basically had nothing to do.

Besides Luo Yuan and Chen Haiyan, the middle-aged man Qian Dakui was also particularly eye-catching.

With a loud roar, he lowered his body, held up his shield, and rushed towards the rat tide like a reckless bull. He is very powerful, and with the shield with many sharp blades hanging on it, he rushed all the way, invincible. The surrounding mice were not only knocked away by it, but their bodies were cut to bloody flesh by the sharp blades on his shield, either dead or maimed.

He rushed for a few meters and then stopped. The shield in his hand spun around him violently, and several mutant rats that tried to bypass his side to attack were quickly knocked into the air. The next moment, he took the machete and slashed continuously. Although he couldn't compare with Luo Yuan and Chen Haiyan, but with the protection of the shield, he easily withstood the attacks of the rats.

Boss Zhou and the other three were at the end, shooting once in a while to kill the rats that slipped through the net. For them, every bullet was precious, so it was impossible for them to kill recklessly like melee combat. The bullets brought over this time are not very many, so they can only be used at critical times.

The crowd continued to advance, leaving corpses along the way, some of mutant mice, some of humans, but more of them were of mutant mice.

Ten minutes later, the crowd had advanced the battle line by hundreds of meters, and the number of the crowd had increased to more than a thousand. The rat swarm has become more and more sparse.

At this moment, there was an extremely oppressive roar suddenly coming from the front. The sound was not like the cry of a mouse, but more like the roar of some kind of ferocious beast. The mutant rat in front, hearing the roar, immediately began to recede rapidly like a tide.

"Not good! The Mouse King is going to escape. Without this chance, it will be even more difficult to kill it in the future." Luo Yuan's face changed and he said loudly. Once the Mouse King escaped, his mission would probably fail.

"Chasing! We must not let him escape?" Everyone also saw it, and the crowd was ecstatic for a while.

The team quickly diverted, except for more than a hundred people who chased after them, most of them stayed behind. After all, there are only a small number of ambitious people. Most of them come here just to make a fortune, and they don't want to take too much risk. There are so many corpses of mutant mice, which is enough for them to live a stable life. No risk.

A few minutes later, a huge mouse appeared in sight.

I don't know if it's reflecting the moonlight, or it's just the fur itself, it looks silvery white all over. The body, which is about 1.5 meters long, is more fluid than that of ordinary mice. The slender tail formed a straight line in the air, and swayed slightly with the movements of the body. It was like a noble king, surrounded by a group of mutated rats, retreating towards the distance at a leisurely pace.

Luo Yuan's eyes lit up. The size of this mutated mouse is not too exaggerated. Compared with giant snakes and giant dogs, it is only a small man. Except for the troubles of thousands of mutated mice surrounding it, the rest is basically the same as On par with blue-level creatures encountered before.

"Do you have the courage to charge?" Luo Yuan asked the temporary team.

"We have no guts. We've been stuck at home for a long time. Why do we come here to do our best? I can understand the world. If you are timid to starve to death, you will be bold to death. Let's fight to the death today." Huang Yaoguang cooperated. He could see that Luo Yuan, Chen Haiyan and the others seemed to have an extremely strong desire to attack. Although he didn't know the reason, it was definitely related to the value of the Mouse King. Thinking of the rumor he had heard, his heart suddenly thumped.

"That's right, those who don't want to go can quit now." Chen Haiyan glanced at everyone after speaking.

"Isn't it a joke to quit at this point? Add me?" Qian Dakui curled his lips, smashed one end of the shield to the ground, panting, holding such a heavy weapon, even if he was physically strong Well, it's too much to bear.

"Boss Zhou, where are the three of you?" Chen Haiyan asked the other three.

"A few of us won't quit, but I'm more worried that other people will take advantage of it? We're not the only ones here!" Boss Zhou rubbed his pistol, glanced at the hundreds of people nearby, and said with a half-hearted smile .

Luo Yuan didn't care much, his goal was to kill the mouse king and complete the task. As for how many people will share the spoils in the end, this is only a matter for the future. It is gratifying to share more, but it doesn't matter if it is less. He has already prepared to go to other places to hunt blue-level creatures. Others argue. Even the more people there are, the more they can share some risks and improve the success rate of the task.

But he can only hide this in his heart, he can't say it clearly, he thought for a while and said: "Why don't you discuss it with them and make a charter, I don't think there are many people who dare to go."

"I'll handle this matter. I know all the leaders of the larger teams!" Chen Haiyan said after pondering for a while.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Luo Yuan watched coldly.

Luo Yuan could see that Chen Haiyan was a very ambitious person, she was very active all the way, and was in the position of leader intentionally or unintentionally, but all this had nothing to do with him, the more active he was, the more positive he was to himself. It is beneficial, and he is also happy to hear it.

Facing thousands of mutated rats plus a rat king, more than a hundred people hesitated, and they still persisted in the end. They only talked to more than fifty people, and they were divided into three teams. It was improvised.

After this delay, the swarm of rats had gradually crossed one of the rubbish hills and was about to disappear. Luo Yuan looked anxious, but had no choice but to think about it.

After a while, Chen Haiyan finally came back. He looked ahead and said quickly, "Because time is running out, let's talk on the way?"

"The result of the discussion is that the three teams will attack in three directions, and the winner will share half of the spoils, and the other two teams will share equally." Chen Haiyan said hurriedly while trotting: "The advantage of this is that even if you fail to kill the rat first Wang, you can get some too!"

"That's good, otherwise, even if we kill the Shu King, I'm afraid we will be blacked out. Everyone who can get along here is a good guy, and he can do anything for the benefit." Qian Dakui nodded and said.

The garbage dump is an extremely chaotic and cruel place, and the urban area with some order seems to be two worlds. Human lives are worthless here, almost every day more than a hundred people die or disappear, some of these people are killed by mutant rats, and some are killed by humans. The corpse after death had already turned into a pile of bones before dawn.

While humans are eating mutant rats, mutant rats are also eating humans.

If there is no strict discipline for species on land, once the number increases, the speed will be greatly dragged down. Ten minutes later, the team quickly caught up with the rat tide again.

The battle quickly broke out. After a commotion, the rat swarm suddenly stopped moving. Perhaps seeing that the number of enemies was much smaller this time, there was an opportunity to take advantage of it. Countless mutant rats rushed up like a tide.

At this moment, even Luo Yuan felt the pressure increase sharply.

He stepped forward and back, swaying left and right, the cut horse in his hand almost danced into a phantom under the moonlight, and the mutated rats, which were not afraid of death, were cut apart invisible as soon as they jumped into the air.

He resisted the attack like a tide, slowly tearing apart the tide of rats like a sharp blade. He moved forward step by step with difficulty, and every step lay down the corpses of several mutated rats, all the way covered with blood.

"Drip, knife skills increase +1"

Luo Yuan seemed unaware of the system's prompt. At this time, his mental strength had already been highly concentrated, and his whole body exuded a palpitating aura. This aura made every mutant mouse that rushed over couldn't help but pause slightly. , The movement is chaotic.

Within a minute, the team was downsized. Boss Zhou and the three were placed at the end because they used guns. If it was a small group of mutant rats, it would be okay and safer to be in the back, but now they encountered a wave of rats, and there were rats in all directions.

A mouse bit the calf of one of them from behind, and after being killed by him, two more rushed over from behind. He sprayed bullets continuously, and frantically killed the two mutant mice, only to find that he had gradually left the team.

More and more rats swarmed in. He only called for help before he was swallowed by a group of rats.

"Trash!" Boss Zhou turned around and wanted to rescue him, but it was too late. He cursed secretly, with a gloomy face, and winked at the last subordinate, and the two squeezed towards the middle of the line.

Huang Yaoguang and the others followed closely behind Luo Yuan, blocking the mutant rats from both sides, sharing Luo Yuan's pressure, but soon became unsustainable, and several people died one after another. Seeing this, Chen Haiyan and Qian Dakui also quickly joined in, forming a group of ten people, firmly blocking the crazy attack of the mutant rat.

At this time, there was a loud gunshot in the distance, and the rat wave was startled, and it rushed to the other side quickly, and it was suddenly sent down here.

"Grass! Is it the Armed Police Force?" Chen Haiyan glanced back in her busy schedule, and suddenly she was furious. She gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know who notified it. If you let me know, you must kill him."

I saw dozens of soldiers not far away, holding rifles, charging, and shooting at the rat tide continuously. All the mutant rats around rushed towards them, but the mutant rats on Luo Yuan's side became sparse.

He looked at it for a while, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and finally he could only sigh dejectedly: "Let's go, there are these people here. We don't even have to drink soup. Every mutated creature at the lord level, they all I won't let it go."

"Are we leaving like this?" Huang Yaoguang touched his injured arm and asked in disbelief

"What else can I do if I don't leave? Is it possible to snatch food from the army?" Qian Dakui smashed a mutant flying with his shield as if venting, and spit out thick phlegm.

After working hard all night, when the harvest was about to be harvested, someone snatched it up. Whoever it was, felt upset.
