Chapter 1235: The Weird Rat that Barred the Road

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Qiao wasn’t expecting those newly emerged underground creatures to be a herd of rats! Did the biological chain exist underground as well? The level-seven rat was defenseless under the cat’s claws, and the cat was twice the rat’s size. Soon, the rat had to flee into the ground.

The rat had a rather strong vibe, but it ran into its natural enemy unfortunately!

Because of the cat, the herd of rats were running away in all directions. Lin Qiao and her people didn’t need to do anything, and they could go straight through the area.

Suffering the cat’s attack, the huge cat was probably agitated. Not long after it crawled underground, it sprung out before the cat as it brandished its claws and jumped at the cat’s face.

“Awooooo!” The cat scornfully bared its teeth and narrowed its red eyes. It raised a paw and easily slapped the rat down to the ground.

“Oarrrr…” The rat screamed and quickly made a roll on the ground. After that, it adjusted its posture and landed all four limbs on the ground. Lowering its body, it looked at the cat and fiercely bared its sharp teeth. Unlike the teeth of normal rats, its teeth were all sharp.

“Roarrrr!”

The cat didn’t take it seriously at all. All it did was swing its tail toward the rat, who dodged nimbly.

Meanwhile, the other rats either ran away or went underground. They created a few holes on the ground, but thankfully, the road could still allow the vehicles to drive through.

Lin Qiao and her people spent a short while watching the cat and rat game, and then those rats were gone. The cat had killed a lot of rats. It failed to catch the level-seven one though. The big rat couldn’t defeat the cat, but it was good at escaping.

“Awo… googoo…”As the road was clear, the cat opened up the heads of a few relatively high-leveled rats and dug up a few nuclei before eating them. Then, it turned and leaped into the air, disappearing and leaving the dead rats behind.

“See, we can just go straight through, right?” Teng held Lin Qiao’s neck and said.

Lin Qiao was standing on a branch, leaning against the tree trunk with Teng held in her arms. She nodded and said, “I think you are right. Let’s go!”

While speaking, she leaped off the tree and showed up on the road. There, she took out the vehicles from her space.

After that, she threw a few dead rats into the woods in her space. She would bring those back for experiments. Soon, she and her people got into the cars and continued driving toward Huaxia Base.

Teng’s intuition was amazingly right. Lin Qiao wondered if the boy could always foresee the near future so accurately.

“Your intuition is so accurate! Can you feel Aunty Wenwen’s current condition?” Lin Qiao couldn’t help but ask him.

Teng sat in the backseat, from where he said, “I’ve told you about that many times. She will come back. I’m not worried about her at all. I just can’t see Uncle Yuan’s condition.”

Spoke of Yuan Tianxing, Teng wore a troubled look.

Lin Qiao looked at him and asked a little nervously, “How can we help him? Uninfected fresh catmint might be helpful for him, but where can we find that now? Don’t you have any feelings about that? Not even bad feelings?”

Teng was having his head slightly dropped, thinking deeply. On hearing Lin Qiao’s words, he raised his head and said, “No, no feelings at all. No bad feelings, nor good feelings. However, I do feel an indescribable connection between him and Aunty Wenwen. Maybe I’ll know when Aunty Wenwen comes back.”

“Is that so? I guess Wenwen is the key,” Lin Qiao thought for a moment and said.

Teng looked at her and said, “Don’t worry! Aunty Wenwen will upgrade successfully and come back to us. We might figure out how to save Uncle Yuan when she comes back, because her second power is amazing.”

Lin Qiao nodded in agreement, “You’re right! Will she see the future even more accurately than before when her second power enters level-two? Or, maybe it’ll become easier to control.”

The vehicles moved closer and closer to Huaxia Base while large batches of people from Sky Fire Base had been heading toward Huaxia Base too. Their journey wasn’t as easy as Lin Qiao’s. In cities, they were surrounded by great numbers of zombies, and in the suburbs, they were attacked by mutated animals and plants. What was even worse, they even ran into giant herds of underground insects sometimes.

As a result, half of them died on the way.

Small numbers of people who weren’t welcomed by the group had no choice but to head to Sea City Base. If they attempted to go to Huaxia Base, the other Sky Fire Base people would kill them. They might die before they could arrive in Huaxia Base. Therefore, they were forced to go to Sea City Base. Those people also suffered heavy casualties on the way.

“Where are all these monsters from? Are they from the underground too? How come so many strange creatures are coming out of the underground lately?”

“If they keep coming out, I think not even Huaxia Base can survive them. Do you think we can survive by joining Sea City Base?”

“Where else can we go? Those b*stards would find us if we went to Huaxia Base. They’d kill us.”

“No base can survive these massive herds of monsters. I don’t think we’ll survive them in Sea City Base. Those creatures will break the fence wall. Is there still hope of survival for mankind?”

“I don’t know. Right now, we can only try our best to survive. At least, Sea City Base has Wu Chengyue. He is a level-eight man. He’ll be able to deal with those monsters. With him, we’ll have a better chance to live.”

“You’re right! He’s a powerful level-eight man. As long as he’s in the base, those monsters won’t be able to break into the base easily.”

Those people saw Wu Chengyue, a level-eight man, as their last hope. As Huaxia Base wasn’t an option, their only choice was Sea City Base.

In Huaxia Base, Si Kongchen received the reports about the newest movements of the leaders of the other base. After spending a short while reading the report about Wu Chengyue, he turned and said to Xie Longyun, who was standing near the window, “Are you sure you can do this? There will be consequences if you fail.”

Xie Longyun was wearing a tight military top and a marten hair cape. Her thighs were exposed in the air. As always, she was also wearing a pair of knee-length boots.

She leaned against the window frame as she lazily turned around and glanced at Si Kongchen. “Relax!” she said, “I won’t fail. Doesn’t Wu Chengyue care a lot about that woman? He will fall into my trap if he really cares about her. You just need to do your part. Can you really stall that woman? She has a space. Her space is alive.”

Si Kongchen responded to her with confidence, “Don’t worry! I’ve confirmed that her space isn’t mobile. She needs to exit her space on the exact same spot where she enters it. I will disable her from coming out of her space.”

Xie Longyun shrugged and said, “Your plan better work. I won’t take the responsibility if any problem occurred on my side due to you.”
