Chapter 267: The Safe Zone Falls

"Fu Long Xiang Tian Po!"

Lin Qi shot more than a dozen arrows into the sky in succession. The flying arrows turned into the shape of a flying dragon. After flying in the sky, they fell straight to the ground!

He just flew into the nest of those mutant rats and exploded with his final power!

The sound spread and vibrated for a long time. Although the bursting wind pressure ravaged the underground, there were still many mutant rats alive, covered in flesh and blood, crawling towards the ground.

There were heavy casualties in the safe zone for a while. Although many aircraft and Source Project soldiers launched rescue operations, the operations could not keep up with the ravages of the mutant rats.

"Wei Lan, lock the mutant rat and provide remote support."

In such a troublesome situation, the current Source Project warrior technology cannot withstand it for long. I am afraid that in less than half a day, the entire safe zone will be submerged in the rat tide, and the only way is to let the spacecraft provide long-range weapon support.

The spacecraft suspended in the sky received the information, and Wei Lan quickly made a deployment.

Rows of blue light shone out from the bottom of the spacecraft. The internal picture locked all the mutant rats in the safe area, and in an instant, blue light rain poured down.

The attack power of this blue light rain is not strong, but it can just destroy those low-level mutant rats, and the targeted attack can better avoid the survivors in the safe zone.

The rain of light ended, and the mutated rats on the ground suddenly suffered heavy casualties. Some of them had even knocked down the survivors. Those who were about to bite them were all turned into charcoal by the blue laser.

After the heavy rain, there was a brief calm in the safety zone, but there were still a large number of mutant rats pouring out of the excavated rat pits.

The personnel of the base organized the survivors to evacuate quickly from the safe zone. The Source Project soldiers with special abilities guarded the rat pit to prevent the mutated rats from breaking out again, and the situation was stabilized.

An awakened person controlled the rubble of the ruins and continued to fill the rat pit, finally blocking the hole completely. However, the calm did not last long, and the ground began to squirm again.

"Commander Lin, we have tested and found that the underground of the entire safe zone was almost hollowed out by mutant rats!"

Ren Xiangfeng used the detector on the aircraft to collect the information, and anxiously reported to Lin Qi that the mutant rats had been digging underground for so long, but they didn't even notice at all.

This kind of horrific rat attack can directly destroy a safe zone. If no way to deal with it is found, other safe zones will also face this crisis.

"How many survivors in the city have been evacuated."

In fact, Lin Qi had already noticed the situation underground, and not even Wei Lan could save the situation.

"Less than one-tenth has been evacuated, and most people are trapped in the rubble, making it difficult to rescue."

Ren Xiangfeng's face looked a little ugly. At the beginning, he used the aircraft to rescue, but he only rescued important people in the safe zone. Before he could make a second trip, the central area collapsed completely.

On the contrary, some survivors on the edge of the safety zone managed to escape and have now evacuated outside the city wall.

"Speed ​​up and save as many as you can, don't worry about those inside and outside."

The safe zone will sink completely underground at any time, and the entire city will disappear above the ground.

Witnessing the destruction of a safe zone made Lin Qi feel mixed emotions, and it also made him more vigilant.

If those powerful mutant beasts were attacking, he would have a way to deal with them, but although these seemingly weak mutant rats, the number of which was immeasurable, attacked by digging into the ground, making it difficult to defend against them.

I'm afraid I will be helpless if my own safe zone encounters this kind of situation in the future.

Everyone rushed to rescue, not only repairing the cracked ground, but it lasted less than an hour. Suddenly there was a violent tremor, and the entire safety zone fell underground.

Within the city wall, almost everything is filled with cracks, and the entire underground space has been completely hollowed out. The deep cave is like an abyss, and miserable screams can be heard from inside.

Densely packed mutant rats were still pouring out, and the survivors who fell into them were completely lifeless.

The King Kong Safe Zone was completely destroyed, and a town disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The remaining Project Source warriors were suspended in the air, and the scene fell into silence for a time. Only the sound of chewing broken bones came from the pit, reminding them that the mutant rats still existed.

"You guys should cover the survivors and go to the nearest safe zone. It seems that we need to be more cautious against mutant beast attacks in the future."

Everyone had been concerned about the rat infestation. The thick city wall outside was to prevent the invasion of large-scale mutant beasts, but no one expected that a wave of mutant rats would emerge from deep underground, catching people off guard.

As the food disappeared, the mutant rats slowly retreated into the burrow, but there were still many mutant rats inside, lingering reluctantly in the pit.

"We have found out that most of the underground in this area has been hollowed out due to the mining area, so these mutant rats have an opportunity to take advantage of it. If it is elsewhere, it should be prevented in advance."

Ren Xiangfeng sighed. Such natural and man-made disasters were really difficult to prevent.

All the mutant beast corpses obtained in the previous battle were dragged underground by the mutant rats. Only the gene crystals taken out in advance survived. It can be said that the losses in this battle were extremely heavy.

Although many mutant rats were eliminated, the remaining ones would also multiply rapidly after devouring a large number of mutant beast corpses, causing almost no harm to them.

"After clearing the battlefield and letting people evacuate, blow up this place."

If we leave this place alone, it will sooner or later become a nest of mutant rats, which will radiate the surrounding area. Only by completely eliminating the hidden dangers can we stop their spread.

But if the root cause cannot be found, the mutant rats will sooner or later become a threat to humans again.

Ren Xiangfeng quickly summoned several aircraft and collected several energy bombs. After everyone evacuated, he threw the energy bombs into the deep pit.

A few minutes later, a huge mushroom cloud erupted, and the ground trembled like a wave. The entire safe zone sank, and a huge basin suddenly appeared.

The explosion deep underground completely buried the holes dug out by the mining area and the caves dug by the mutant rats.

The traces of civilization disappeared without a trace in an instant.

When Lin Qi returned to the Zhongyuan safe zone, it was already the second day. After successfully arranging the survivors, he left the team.

As soon as he returned to the safe zone, Lin Qi asked Wei Lan to carefully check the bottom of the city, and indeed found the mutant rats hidden underground.

Although these mutant rats have not posed any threat yet, their breeding grounds have appeared in the city's sewers. If they are not dealt with, they may soon become large-scale.

I immediately ordered all awakened people in the safe zone to start the task of clearing the city's rat infestation. (End of this chapter)
