Chapter 17 Smooth Capture_1

In the sewers here, the Second Stage King Cobra was the absolute overlord, and other mutated beings fled as soon as they saw it from afar.

Yet this scene still caused Ye Feng to furrow his brow, because the number of mutated mice was far greater than he had anticipated.

"Wait a minute!"

The mutated sparrow flying ahead suddenly came to a halt and turned to look to the right.

That was a drainage outlet.

The sewage from other houses was discharged into the sewers through these drainage outlets.

Since the appearance of mutated mice, to prevent them from entering houses through the sewer pipes, reinforced iron wire mesh was installed at these drainage outlets.

And the iron wire mesh in front of him clearly showed signs of being gnawed, with even one of the wires bitten through.

"Have these mutated mice already become this destructive?" Ye Feng's frown deepened.

He started to feel anxious about his own home.

However, right now, he didn't have much time to worry about this matter and after taking a brief look, he continued to lead the team forward.

But as he delved deeper, his mood became increasingly heavy.

Because after entering the urban area, the mutated mice became more numerous and their size had also noticeably increased.

At the same time, instances of the iron wire mesh being gnawed through increased in frequency, and at one point, there was even a hole big enough for mice to pass through.

However, the iron wire mesh in the sewers was only the first line of defense.

In theory, every household's drainage pipe should also have a wire mesh installed as the second line of defense.

But this was already a dangerous sign; if the mutated mice could chew through one iron wire mesh, they could chew through the second.

If a household caught the attention of these mutated mice and they managed to chew through the second wire mesh during their sleep, the consequences would be unthinkable.

"The 'Four Pests' eradication campaign should start in the next two days, but with the vast scope of Yang City, there will inevitably be a sequence, and areas like the old street district where my parents live will mostly be dealt with later, probably having to wait another week."

"But a week, with the mutation speed of these mice..."

Thinking this, Ye Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, "Since I'm here, I might as well go home and have a look."

Having made his decision, Ye Feng quickened his pace.

He had done his homework before coming here.

Although the news did not report the name of the pet store, their footage did not purposely hide it, displaying other shops on the nearby streets.

Before setting off, Ye Feng had pinpointed the location of the pet store by comparison.

However, what he saw on the map was bound to differ from what was in reality.

And now, without the ability to use his phone for navigation, it was clearly a bit difficult to search.

Fortunately, though slow, after 20 minutes, he had found the location of the pet store.

But simply pinpointing the location was not enough; the real challenge was commanding the King Cobra to make its way through the underground sewers.

After nearly half an hour, with the mutual positioning of his subordinates, Ye Feng, inhabiting the sparrow, finally led the King Cobra and the mutated mice to the sewers near the pet store.

Ye Feng quickly identified the drainage pipe leading to the pet store.

This drainage pipe was, of course, also protected by sturdy iron wire mesh, but Ye Feng had brought the King Cobra specifically for this purpose.

The King Cobra flicked its tail slightly, and under the impact of thousands of pounds of force, the wire mesh rapidly deformed, and its rivets dropped off one by one.

The rest was left to the mutated mice.

Under Ye Feng's command, the Mutated Mouse quickly climbed in, following the drainage pipes to the bathroom's drain, where it began to gnaw wildly at the wire netting.

The Mutated Mouse raised by Ye Feng had reached the First Order Peak. Whether in terms of size or the biting power of its teeth, it stood a level above the ordinary Mutated Mouse.

After about 10 minutes, the obstructive wire netting was finally chewed through. The Mutated Mouse went first, and Ye Feng directed the Sparrow to fly in right after it.

Until this point, everything had gone smoothly.

But then Ye Feng started to feel a bit nervous.

"I hope it's still there, don't let it be taken away!" Ye Feng prayed silently in his heart while quickly flying around the pet store, searching for the Mutated Parrot.

"It should be over here," Ye Feng took a turn and arrived in front of a row of iron cages on the right.

These cages were uniformly filled with parrots.

His eyes rapidly scanned them, searching, and his gaze soon settled on one particular parrot.

The Mutated Parrot was easy to recognize, one could tell just by its size.

"Finally found you," Ye Feng sighed in relief.

Although he had braced for the worst and even had a backup plan, if it wasn't necessary, who would want to do that?

After all, mutation was now purely a matter of luck.

Really bad luck meant that even if he took all the parrots, no mutations might occur even after a month.

Now that he had located his target, the next steps would be easier.

The Mutated Mouse directed by Ye Feng gnawed apart the lock on the birdcage and then awkwardly opened the iron cage with its paws.

The moment the iron cage opened, the Mutated Parrot inside swiftly flew out.

Mutated animals often gained a bit more intelligence, and the first reaction of this Mutated Parrot to the weird situation was to escape immediately.

Ye Feng didn't try to stop it; it couldn't escape from the room anyway.

He commanded the Mutated Mouse to approach the window, first opened it, and then used its teeth to bite through the burglary-proof mesh on it.

Soon, the Mutated Bats and Mutated Black Crow that had been waiting outside flew in.

What followed was their "friendly conversation" with the Mutated Parrot.

Neither the bats nor the black crows, both having reached the First Order Peak, were a match for this newly mutated parrot.

After a "friendly conversation" that lasted about 5 minutes, they carried the bruised parrot through the broken window and flew out.

"At least, that went smoothly," Ye Feng thought, relieved, as he watched the parrot fly out of the pet shop.

As for the possibility of it fleeing, he wasn't worried in the least.

The disparity in combat power between them was too great for it to escape.

If it resisted, injuring it severely and letting the Big Yellow Dog drag it back was also an option.

With Spiritual Energy, as miraculous as it was, the Mutated Parrot could be healed as long as it still breathed.

Fortunately, the parrot turned out to be quite obedient after being "educated" and followed behind while flying submissively.

Next, it was time for evacuation.

The Mutated Mouse and Mutated Sparrow went back through the drainage pipes and entered the sewer.

After that, it was time to take a look around the vicinity of the house.
