Once Xiao Yunlong finished, another person came in in haste and said, "Chief, there's a situation!"
Xiao Licheng walked over with a solemn look while holding a file . He paused briefly when he saw Xiao Yunlong, then kept moving toward Wu Chengyue .
"Chief Wu, are you here because of those mutated rats too? I heard that there's a giant population of those rats . We can't get a specific number yet . Also, they eat zombies! They eat everything, including metal, buildings… literally everything," Xiao Licheng handed the file directly to Wu Chengyue .
"Where are they? Have you sent someone to observe the area yet?" Hearing that those rats even ate zombies, Wu Chengyue immediately thought of All Beings Base . If those rats visited that base, the zombies there would become rat food, wouldn't they?
He knew that rats were omnivores, and that they needed to grind their teeth . After mutation, their teeth had become much stronger than before . Those mutated rats weren't as slow as ordinary zombies . On the contrary, they were swift .
"In the animal park in Fuyang District . This time, they seemed to have been released suddenly . More and more rats had been gushing out of the underground nest . By now, everything on that around in that area has been eaten up," said Xiao Licheng .
At that time, a lot of mutated animals had been running desperately in the animal park in Duyang District . The large ones, small ones, higher-leveled ones and lower-leveled ones… all animals had been running in different directions, stirring up clouds of sands and dust and sending grass and broken branches up into the sky .
Some mutated birds flew into the park from time to time, then soon come back out, claws holding one or two large, struggling, black rats .
In that area where Lin Qiao saved the little tiger from was a huge hole, looking like a black mouth . At the time, waves of black rats with long hair had been surging out of that hole . The smaller ones among them were even larger than cats, and the largest ones were as big as pigs .

Those rats had long and thick black hair . Their eyes were wide opened, filled with ferocity . Long and sharp teeth stuck out of their mouths . With those teeth, they chewed everything that was in their way .
Within the area miles in radius around the hole, nothing was left except barren earth . All the plants were gone, and only the chewed ground was seen .
Squeak!
Squeak!
Two pig-sized rats were standing by the hole on their feet with their forelimbs shrunk . They were squeaking all the time, seemingly directing the rat crowd .
At first glance, one could see nothing more than the huge group of rats running out of the hole .
Not far away, in the Southwest, was a similar hole; the same scene could be seen over there . Endless rats had been coming out of that hole as well . In fact, five or six holes like that could be found near that area .
A series of cracking noise was heard as those rats were chewing a large tree, which would take three people to put their arms around its trunk . Soon, the tree fell to the ground . Countless rats rushed up to eat the branches and leaves .

The cracking noises and squeaks of rats were heard from everywhere .
From time to time, raging roars could be heard as well .
A gigantic lion didn't manage to escape those rats . The rats climbed onto its body and tore its skin into pieces with their teeth and claws .
"Roar…" The lion struggled in pain . But, those rats didn't fall from its body as they clung tightly on the lion . Meanwhile, more and more rats had been climbing up to the lion .
Within a short span of time, the lion was pressed to the ground by over a thousand rats . Two minutes later, those rats left . Only a large puddle of blood was seen on the ground, even without a piece of bone!
Before long, the animal park, which had almost become like a virgin forest, was turned into a barren land by those rats .
More and more rats were coming out of those holes . The first batch of rats had already flattened the whole area . Apart from animals and plants, those rats also attacked the slow-moving zombies . The zombies had rotten bodies, yet those rats still had a great appetite for them .
"Roar…" A few miles away from those rats, a wind-powered zombie had been leaping swiftly from trees to trees, moving toward All Being Base .
A couple of hours later, he finally arrived at the outer circle of All Beings Base . He flew across the zombie wall and headed toward the hotel building where the zombies lived .

The other zombies didn't try to stop him, meaning that he was a member of the base .
In the hotel, he quickly found Xie Dong's office .
"Roar…" 'Boss! Boss!'
That level-four zombie was one of five that Lin Qiao had put under Xie Dong's command .
"What? Calm down," Seeing the zombie's anxious face, Xie Dong responded expressionlessly .
"Roar! Roar!" 'Rats! Rats! Rats!'
The wind-powered zombie stood before Xie Dong's desk fretfully . Those rats had given him a very strong sense of crisis . Even though he was already back in the base, the lingering fear was still affecting him .
"What rats? Talk properly," Xie Dong looked at him with a slight frown .
The zombies under his command had all accepted Lin Qiao's virus . Therefore, they were now much smarter than before, and were able to communicate smoothly with the others . But right now, that wind-powered zombie seemed to have a problem organizing his language, and Xie Dong didn't know why .
"Roar… Roarrrrr…" 'Rats! A lot of them! A lot lot!'
The wind-powered zombie roared at Xie Dong, and seemed to have calmed down a little . While roaring, he put both hands before his chest to show Xie Dong how large those rats were .
"Roar… roar…" 'This big! This big!'
He showed Xie Dong the different sizes of those rats .
Xie Dong spent a short while thinking, and understood what that zombie was trying to say .
The zombie had seen a lot of mutated rats . Judging by his nervous look, he should have seen a lot of rats, which were especially dangerous .
But, merely mutated rats shouldn't have made the zombie so nervous .
Xie Dong couldn't picture the scene that the zombie was trying to describe . He guessed that there was some particular factor that made the zombie so nervous .
He stood up, as he decided to go and see for himself .
"Let's go . Take me there!" said Xie Dong to the wind-powered zombie .
This time, the zombie quickly shook his head and responded with a roar . 'No! No! No! They would eat us!'
