Currently, there were three types of infected creatures: humans, the rat tide, and birds.
Humans moved slowly, and the biggest threat to them was their infection. The flock of birds controlled the sky, causing all their helicopters to be scrapped. They did not dare to enter Yunhai City.
In comparison, although the infected humans and birds were terrifying, they were not the greatest threat to them.
Their biggest enemy was the mutated rat tide!
Extremely fast running speed, sharp claws and teeth, a population of hundreds of millions... When such a mutated rat tide appeared, any existence in this world would have to retreat!
When the zombie horde appeared and the infected began to attack their defensive line, they did not see the mutated birds.
Subconsciously, the military minister judged that the mutated rats were left behind in Yunhai City, just like the mutated birds.
However!
He had forgotten the difference between the two!
The zombie birds were suitable for short-distance raids. In Yunhai City, where there were many tall buildings, the mobility of the zombie birds could be maximized. They posed a huge threat to the military helicopters. On the plains, it was difficult to make use of the advantage of the birds, so they did not appear.
However, the Mutant Rat Tide was different!
When their numbers reached a certain level, cities, plains, mountains…all of these were no longer obstacles for them, but their home ground!
Besides, rats knew how to dig holes!
The mutated rats were countless times more terrifying than before. They could even dig through the solid concrete in the city, let alone the soft soil on the plains.!
The fact that the mutated rats did not appear did not mean that they had not arrived.
Since the controller behind the infected had decided to attack the humans, he would never let go of this great killing weapon!
Then…
Large beads of sweat dripped down as the military minister looked at the ground. Perhaps, countless tunnels had already appeared under this seemingly calm land. The hundreds of millions of rats were hidden in these tunnels!
"Watch your step!"
"Watch your step!"
" The attack of the infected is just the beginning. The mutant rat tide is very likely…"
Before the military minister could finish his words, a soldier suddenly screamed and disappeared from the ground.
At his original position, a deep pit of one square meter had appeared at some point in time. Moreover, this deep pit was still expanding at an extremely fast speed!
In the blink of an eye!
The deep pit expanded to a radius of several meters, and countless tiny blood-red eyes flickered in the deep pit!
Mutant rat tide!
Just as the Military Minister had predicted, the mutated rats had not been mobilized. They had dug holes in the ground and arrived at their feet!
When they were in a stalemate with the zombie horde and even had the upper hand, these monsters that were even more terrifying than the zombie horde appeared and changed the entire battle situation!
The appearance of the first pit was a start.
Following the appearance of the first deep pit, more deep pits appeared on the defensive line!
Every deep pit represented the fall of one or several soldiers. Even the tanks, armored vehicles, and defensive measures that they had prepared in advance had fallen into the ground with the appearance of deep pits!
And then…
An endless tide of rats emerged!
"Squeak squeak!"
"Squeak squeak!"
Noisy squeaking sounds could be heard as the mutated rats rushed out of the underground tunnel. They screamed and rushed towards the soldiers closest to them!
In just a blink of an eye, thousands of soldiers were drowned by the rat tide!
"Retreat, retreat!"
Seeing his own soldiers being drowned and torn apart by the Mutant Rats, one of the officers roared with bloodshot eyes.
"Don't retreat!"
"Look for high ground and cover measures to block them!”
The military minister shouted at the same time.
One by one, elite soldiers were torn apart by the rat tide in front of his eyes. It was not that the military minister did not feel heartache or sadness, but his many years of military training had told him that defending on the spot was the best measure!
The rat tide was spreading faster than humans could run.
If they retreated now, other than the soldiers in the armored vehicles and infantry vehicles who could escape smoothly, the other soldiers would only be caught up by the rat tide and eaten up one by one!
Only by temporarily defending and blocking the attack of the rat tide could they find an opportunity to retreat!
"Flamethrower! Find a flamethrower and burn these bastards to death!”
"Don't panic in front, block the zombie tide!”
"The helicopter is in the air! Cover…"
Countless orders were given out, and the soldiers quickly moved out. They had to defend against the zombies and the Mutant Rats.
The stalemate was broken.
The sea of zombies slowly approached, getting closer and closer to the front line of defense.
More mutated rats emerged from the underground tunnel, their sharp teeth and claws biting the bodies of the soldiers, turning them into white bones, and then chewing them up, leaving no bones behind…
From the moment the Mutant Rats appeared, tens of thousands of zombies had lost their lives in just ten minutes!
At this moment, the zombie tide was only ten meters away from the defensive line!
