Chapter 008 Black-Eyed Rat

Inside was a long, slippery pipe covered with thick grease.

Luo Xiu slid down at an extremely fast speed, turned several circles in the air, and finally dived into an indescribable pool of water.

"Puff ... "

With a splashing sound, Luo Xiu quickly stood up from the foul-smelling pool filled with all kinds of debris.

Fortunately, the black pool was only half a person's height, and it only reached Luo Xiu's thighs, but poor Luo Xiu still swam a circle in it.

In front of me is a sewer pool leading to the river outside the city, with three-meter-wide walkways on both sides for people to walk on.

With a leap, Luo Xiu jumped onto the shore. Wet water stains flowed down his trouser legs to the ground, and at the same time, an indescribable smell emanated from his body.

"Ugh ... "

Luo Xiu leaned against the wall and retched.

But when I think about the people in the city, what does this little pain matter?

He resisted the urge to feel sick and opened his personal terminal. "Do you know which way it went?"

Sewers have a long history of existence, and their function is to store and clean the garbage generated by humans in urban areas.

Because its entrances are spread throughout the city, there are thousands of roads.

Anyone who enters unprepared will surely get lost.

And it is very difficult to find someone.

"No problem. I've sent you the map." Academician Lin Qing was very efficient, and the curved passage appeared on Luo Xiu's personal terminal.

"Oh, by the way, the small waterway hasn't been cleaned for a long time. You have to be careful of the cleaning robots inside." He immediately reminded.

Luo Xiu frowned slightly, not expecting there to be robots here, but he still ran according to the route on the map.

His figure was like a nimble rabbit, jumping back and forth on both sides of the four-meter-wide pool, quickly moving from one channel to another.

Just as I turned a corner, a beam of light suddenly appeared in front of me, and there was a rumbling sound.

Luo Xiu quickly turned off the flashlight in his hand and hid.

Just now, I took a quick glance and found that it was the sewer cleaning robot.

When fighting against aliens, the robot army was the main force of mankind and successfully resisted the enemy's attack at the beginning of the war.

But soon, the enemy took control of a human doctor and asked the human doctor to set up a destructive program in the robot network.

Then the robot army collapsed instantly. They killed each other and attacked all humans, causing the human race to be defeated in the first phase of the war.

So much so that now, humans feel afraid when they encounter these machines they made with their own hands.

These robots have learned how to kill and are no longer helpers to humans.

In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, the Human United Ministry issued a statement: the manufacture and use of robots is a criminal act.

Rumble.

A robot pulling a semi-open carriage drove past Luo Xiu.

The front part of the vehicle is half a body of a robot, and the lower part is two tracks, dragging the garbage truck and moving slowly along the edge of the pool.

It has two metal arms, which from time to time pick up debris from the pool and throw it into the carriage it is towing.

If it weren't for the sabotage program, they would be the most diligent helpers.

But unfortunately, no other moving objects can appear in front of their eyes.

When it left, Luo Xiu quickly jumped out and headed in the opposite direction.

Luo Xiu didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the sound from behind him stopped. These robots were not easy to deal with, as they had thick skin and tough flesh.

"This is the last way out. It probably hasn't gotten out of the sewer."

With a nervous heart, Luo Xiu turned a step, and the beam of the flashlight fell on a figure in the distance.

Its whole body was covered with tumors as big as steamed buns, stacked layer upon layer, as if it had been enlarged.

Especially its head, which has become the size of a millstone, and all other facial features are gone, only the big mouth remains the same.

Behind it is a metal staircase attached to the wall, and at the end of the staircase is a manhole cover leading to the urban area.

This surprised Luo Xiu again. Seeing how it didn't move just now, it seemed that it had already arrived here a long time ago, but for some reason, it didn't go up.

Luo Xiu held the gun and walked slowly forward, saying:

"I know you've been wronged. They injected you with radiation, right?"

"They all deserve to die, but your family is innocent. If they met you, they would definitely suffer the same fate as you."

Seeing that it was unmoved and stood straight, it did not attack Luo Xiu when it saw him.

Luo Xiu judged that the other party was still conscious as Academician Lin Qing said.

Then he continued , " Your body contains a huge amount of radioactive water. You cannot die here. The water will pollute this place and cause all kinds of distortions to the humans above."

Luo Xiu pointed to the top of his head, "Do you understand what I mean? I want you to follow me back to the laboratory. If you want, I can also give you a ride."

After waiting for a while, the other party finally spoke in a hoarse voice , " I. Understand."

"That's good, follow me."

Luo Xiu slowly stepped back, watching it move away from the spot step by step, but looked back at the manhole cover reluctantly.

As long as the opponent makes any other moves, Luo Xiu will shoot through its body without hesitation.

It is obvious that the opponent has evolved and become a tumor radiation species, commonly known as a big tumor. It is at the F+ position in the combat power table, and is only one step away from the elite level.

However, the blade-type assault rifle in Luo Xiu's hand has a slight killing power against elite-level players, and it also poses a considerable threat to them.

At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from behind, and a beam of light broke through the darkness, shining on Luo Xiu and the radioactive species.

"Destroy humanity. Destroy humanity."

Sure enough, the program of the robot in front of him had also been tampered with, and it accelerated like a high-speed car and rushed over.

Luo Xiu turned around and pointed his gun at the opponent, and a series of light bullets hit it.

Sparks kept flying off it and its body kept deforming, but it was still a long way from being damaged.

Seeing that the other party was about to hit him, Luo Xiu leaped and jumped to another aisle.

As soon as I stood firm, I saw the robot rushing towards the radiation species.

“Not good.”

The radioactive species cannot die here, otherwise the remaining radioactive concentrated water will pollute the water resources of the entire city.

At this moment, the radioactive species suddenly opened its mouth and roared, then rushed forward.

Like an angry bull, it collided with the charging robot.

Luo Xiu, who was standing by, opened his mouth wide, looking in disbelief as the robot was lifted into the air by the radiation, and then thrown over its shoulder to the other side.

The robot and the carriage fell to the ground, hit the wall, and bounced into the pool.

But the robot did not lose power. It turned over and stood up in the pool, disconnecting the clips connecting it to the car body on the back.

Seeing it putting its hands on the aisle and about to come up, suddenly a pair of hands reached out, grabbed its arms and lifted it up, and then threw it over the shoulder again.

Bang! Parts flew everywhere.

Seeing that it was still able to move, the radiation species attacked again, bang bang bang ...

After several falls, the robot finally turned into a pile of parts, and a hard-working employee was lost in the sewer.

The Radiant threw away the mechanical arm in his hand and looked at Luo Xiu, "Let's go."

Unexpectedly, the opponent's fighting power was quite strong, so Luo Fei always followed behind it, pointing the gun at it to prevent it from changing its mind.

Halfway through the journey, several flashlight beams suddenly appeared at the corner, and then a team of soldiers from the Zhulong District appeared on their path.

They were startled when they saw the irradiated species and opened fire on it without hesitation.

Several light bullets immediately lifted up its skin, splashing out thick green water flowers.

Luo Xiu was standing behind the radioactive species, so he was also attacked. He leaped into a corner and shouted to the other side:

"We are on the same side, don't open fire."

"Do you think I'm blind? You look like this and yet you say we're one." A response came quickly from the other side.

Luo Xiu pondered for a moment and realized that the other party thought it was a radioactive species speaking again.

Just as he was about to explain, the radioactive species roared, jumped over the pool, ran towards another passage, and soon disappeared.

Simple task screwed up.

As Luo Xiu turned the corner, several beams of light fell on him, and at the same time a questioning voice was heard:

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Luo Xiu raised his hand to block the beam of light that was shooting towards his eyes and explained:

"You may not believe this, but I'm here to ask for the radiation seed back."

In the team, an experienced soldier walked up to Luo Xiu.

He extended his hand to him and said , " I am their captain, Corporal Fang Yan."

Luo Xiu looked at the other party's clean palm and decided not to shake hands with him. He saluted and reported:

"New recruit Luo Xiu."

"New recruit?" Corporal Fang Yan was a little confused . " Are you really here to chase the radiation species?"

"Yes, sir, the other party still has human consciousness, and I am about to take it back." Luo Xiu reported loudly.

Suddenly, Fang Yan in front of him was stunned and suddenly punched Luo Xiu's head.

Luo Xiu reacted quickly and took a step back. The fist wind brushed past his nose and hit the wall next to him.

With a loud bang, a deep dent appeared on the metal wall, which made Luo Xiu secretly smack his lips in surprise.

This is a metal wall. If an ordinary person hits it with all his strength, his hand bones will only be broken. But the opponent seems to be fine, so he must not be an ordinary warrior.

Maybe he is a powerful genetically enhanced warrior.

But if this punch lands on him, his head will definitely explode.

Does the other party want to kill and silence the witness?

Luo Xiu quickly stepped back, pointed his gun at the other party, and said sternly:

"Sir, do you want to kill me? Do you want to court-martial me?"

The other party gasped violently a few times and looked at Luo Xiu with red eyes.

He immediately revealed the origin of Luo Fei's mission, "You are working for the Red Umbrella Company, right? Who will go to the military court first?"

Although it was wrong to accept the mission privately, Luo Xiu did not receive any compensation, right?

Then it is not for the mission, but to eliminate harm for the people.

"Well, I fell down accidentally."

Luo Xiu thought for a moment and was about to explain himself, refusing to admit that he had accepted the mission.

But the other party waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I admit my mistake. I shouldn't have gotten angry at you, but when I think about our comrades becoming like that, I feel very uncomfortable."

"Comrade?" Luo Xiu's pupils widened. "You mean what kind of radiation is it?"

This made Luo Fei even more shocked. What he didn't expect was that the people being experimented on were their comrades.

To be honest, if it was some heinous criminal, Luo Fei could still turn a blind eye, but he suddenly heard that it was his comrade-in-arms.

He instantly flew into a rage, "You son of a bitch, I'm going to kill all the people from the Red Umbrella Company right now."

However, halfway through the journey, he was stopped by Corporal Fang Yan.

He shook his head and sighed, as if all his strength had been drained out, and said weakly , " They volunteered."

Luo Xiu opened his mouth and asked incredulously , " Why?"

After a long while, Corporal Fang Yan moved his mouth and said, "For humanity."

This answer made Luo Xiu even more uncomfortable.

Later, we learned from Corporal Fang Yan that in order to win, the Red Umbrella Company decided to study the secret of human evolution, so many people volunteered to be guinea pigs.

In recent years, many achievements have indeed emerged. For example, those knights, who are like supermen and armed with mechas, are the backbone of mankind.

War makes people crazy, and humanity has clearly reached the brink of madness.

Fortunately, the war is over.

Next he followed the corporal and others.

Their mission was to clear out a rat's nest here. Someone had reported the appearance of black-eyed rats here, and they had caused a small number of casualties to nearby residents.

"I hope that when you find him, you can let him rest in peace."

Walking into the aisle, Corporal Fang Yan walked beside Luo Xiu and said in a deep voice.

Luo Xiu knew what he meant, but he also had concerns, "But how do we clean up the radiation left behind after it dies?"

It is easy to kill but difficult to deal with, especially in this urban area.

Corporal Fang Yan frowned and said nothing. This was obviously stumping him.

Because the radioactive species were injured, thick green water remained on the ground from time to time.

They glow in the dark and are easy to track.

Following these signs, everyone soon arrived at an empty garbage station.

In order to facilitate the disposal of garbage in the waterway, there is a garbage station here. Just put the garbage in and press a button, and the high-temperature flame will burn everything inside.

Now, however, it has become a rat's nest.

They may have run in from outside, or they may be left over from the past.

As for their origin, it is no longer traceable. What they have to do now is to eliminate all these rats.

Under the command of Corporal Fang Yan, the crowd surrounded the garbage station from three sides.

"Everyone, please be careful. There may be radioactive species in there. If possible, don't harm it."

After the arrangement was completed, Corporal Fang Yan's voice was heard in everyone's personal terminal.

It seems that the other party has compromised and at least will not kill it here.

"Attack."

Following an order, fourteen beams of light shone into the garbage station, and a tall figure was seen inside, catching a mouse with one hand.

This rat is extremely large. Excluding the tail, it is at least half the height of an adult, and with the tail included, it is at least two meters long.

Its body is pitch black, its four claws are like knives, its tail is like a whip, and its body is covered with scales like armor.

There are at least 30 black-eyed rats in this litter. Deep in the garbage station, you can clearly see a litter of baby rats whose eyes have not yet opened.

Including them, there are at least 80 black-eyed rats.

Once they take shape, they will cause great trouble to this human area.

The black-eyed rat was grabbed by the neck by the radiated species, and could only swing its tough tail to sweep across its body. The crackling sound could be heard from far away.

But this had no effect on it. It opened its mouth, bit the black-eyed rat's neck hard, and then sucked hard.

The black-eyed rat was seen losing weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The surrounding black-eyed rats wanted to come forward to help, but were slapped away by the radioactive species, and no black-eyed rat was allowed to come up.

At this moment, dozens of beams of light suddenly appeared, followed by a series of light bullets.

Under attack from radioactive species from within and with humans pressing in from outside, the black-eyed rats suddenly became panicked.

The bullets from the blade assault rifle quickly peeled off their scales, followed by their skin, flesh, and even bones.

The powerful firepower left the black-eyed rats with nothing to do but wail.

However, all the bullets avoided the radioactive species in the center, allowing it to fully suck the flesh and blood of the black-eyed rats.

"ah ... "

Just when the battle was going well, a scream suddenly rang out.

The next second, everyone saw a huge black shadow rushing in from outside the aisle and biting off the head of a soldier who was unable to dodge.

With a few snaps, the soldier's head was swallowed by the other side, leaving only a headless corpse on the spot.

Well, there was a soldier next to him with a bone spur stuck in his head. He fell to the ground with his face up, his eyes full of unwillingness.

"Bone spur?"

Luo Xiu and the others' eyes fell on the four-meter-long black-eyed rat's tail.

Its tail is extremely thick, like a human arm, and at the tip is a flower bud-like organ.

"It's a bone-spurred black-eyed rat, get out of the way."

Seeing the appearance of the thing clearly, Corporal Fang Yan standing in the distance shouted in fear:

"It will shoot from a distance, be careful not to get shot by it."

Faced with the wild beast that could also shoot, the advantages of Luo Xiu and others disappeared in an instant, so they quickly hid in the passage.

Without suppression, all the black-eyed rats came out and scattered in all directions.

Once they are allowed to escape, new nests will soon form somewhere else.

But life is important, so Corporal Fang Yan immediately ordered everyone to retreat and gather at the rear.

Luo Xiu fought and retreated at the same time, shooting wherever the crosshairs in his eyes pointed. Three bullets landed on its little head in succession.

Just after shooting, a black-eyed rat suddenly jumped out from behind the one in front and flew straight to Luo Xiu's head.

Luo Xiu quickly jumped to another aisle. As soon as he landed on the ground, another black-eyed rat emerged from the pool and bit his calf.

He had no choice but to jump up again, more than three meters high, and then landed on it, and the bayonet on the muzzle of the gun pierced into its little head.

Then he picked up the black-eyed rat that was rushing towards him, and ripped it open with the rat's tail.

Then another one swooped over, but Luo Xiu was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and shot it to pieces in mid-air with a volley of bullets.

Finally, his vision cleared and he saw the corpses of four black-eyed rats lying in front of him.

[Kill a black-eyed rat and gain 5 merit points] x4

Luo Zheng was about to leave when he suddenly heard the roar of the radioactive species and the shrill sound of the black-eyed rat from inside.

After thinking for a while, Luo Xiu took a step forward and ran.

Anyway, I can run fast, so there’s nothing wrong with going and taking a look.

When he reached the corner, Luo Xiu opened his eyes wide.

The radiated species has already hugged the bone-spurred black-eyed rat together, and its fierce fists landed on the black-eyed rat with a bang, while its sharp claws landed on the radiated species' body, leaving scratches.

The thick green water splashed on the two people, but the radioactive species did not react at all. The black-eyed rat only squeaked and a puff of green smoke came out of its body.

This radiation also has a strong corrosive effect on wild beasts.

But the bone-spurred black-eyed rat is not to be trifled with. It keeps shooting at the head of the radiated species with its raised tail.

In just a short while, the radioactive species' head was filled with half-foot-long bone spurs.
