Crisis of Devouring Rats

"What's that sound?", Hubert was shocked when he heard the squeak. He felt that something was wrong and quickly went to the side of the passage leading to the sewer to check.

When he saw the things at the passage, He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

It turned out that there were many rats under the tunnel.

These rats were the size of a bulldog. They showed their sharp teeth and sharp claws. It was obvious that they were not to be trifled with.

What was worse was that there were many of these rats.

The rats were densely packed and filled up the entire passage. Hubert could not even see the ground. All he could see were rats.

Seeing these rats, cold sweat broke out on Hubert's head.

He had heard of these rats in his previous life.

These rats were called devouring rats. Not only were they bigger than ordinary rats, but they were also extremely fertile. A pair of devouring rats could reproduce to more than a thousand rats in a year with sufficient food.

The most terrifying thing was that their ability to bite and digest was extremely strong. Their flesh, bones, vegetation, even rubber were included in their diet.

Wherever these rats passed, not a single blade of grass would grow.

In the previous life, there was once a group of rats that passed by a shelter with over 10,000 people.

There was even a level 5 expert in that shelter.

However, the group of rats had actually managed to kill the level 5 expert with sheer numbers.

The shelter was also destroyed by the devouring rats, and all the people and livestock were wiped out.

From then on, the devouring rats had become a nightmare. If they were discovered these rats, even if there was only one rat, they would do their best to wipe it out.

When the devouring rats saw that Hubert had found them, they no longer hid and began to chirp. In an instant, Hubert's ears rang with a buzzing sound, causing him to feel dizzy.

Accompanied by the chirping, the devouring rats began to climb up the steep wall.

These devouring rats climbed at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, they had reached half of the tunnel. They were about to climb out and rush into the church.

"Enemy attack!", Hubert shouted. His right hand conjured a Holy Light Bomb and threw it at the rats.

Boom!

Accompanied by the explosion, dozens of rats were blown to pieces.

However, there were too many of them. In the blink of an eye, the empty space was filled up by the other devouring rats. Even the flesh and blood that were blown up were eaten clean by the other devouring rats, as if they had never existed.

Hubert did not dare to be negligent when he saw this. He continuously threw Holy Light Bombs into the tunnel.

Boom Boom Boom!

The Holy Light Bombs exploded one after another in the tunnel, turning countless devouring rats into minced corpses. However, there were still countless devouring rats that came to fill up the gap.

The most worrying thing was that more and more of them swarmed over. They even began to use the method of piling up themselves to build a slope in the tunnel.

Hubert knew that he must not let these devouring rats build a slope. Otherwise, the church would not be able to hold on.

Hubert used all his strength to throw Holy Light Bombs into the tunnel to delay the construction of the slope.

However, there were still many devouring rats climbed up the wall of the tunnel and rushed into the church.

Seeing this scene, Hubert was extremely anxious. "Could it be that the church is going to fail today?"

At this critical moment, a clear gunshot sounded.

Bang!

A rat running at the front was shot into pieces.

Hubert looked in the direction of the gunshot. Sophia's beautiful figure appeared in the hall.

Behind her were Chloe, Marlin, Linda...

It wasn't just the night watchmen. Everyone was here.

Everyone had weapons.

Rifles, shotguns, pistols, kitchen knives, and even a few people with chainsaws.

"Hurry up and chase these rats back. Go find gasoline and tear gas, Quick!", Hubert shouted.

"Hurry up and do as Hubert says!", Father Marlin called out.

The group quickly split into two teams. One team held guns and shot at the devouring rats that rushed up, while the other team moved the gas and tear gas.

The gasoline was extracted from the abandoned cars on the street, while the tear gas was transferred from the police station's armory.

Hubert had originally planned to use these things as strategic weapons, but he did not expect to use them here today.

Bang Bang Bang!

The dense gunshots continued to kill the devouring rats, but the devouring rats were too fast. Many people simply could not hit the target, and could only waste their bullets in vain.

Seeing that everyone was in vain, Sophia was very anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

"Get everyone to form a battle line and fire in turns. Only take care of the area in front of you. Use the bullet barrage to block them.", Hubert reminded.

This was a method that people had figured out in the previous lives to deal with the devouring rats. Since the devouring rats were too fast, they would continue to fire to block their route and use the powerful firepower to suppress them.

Sophia's eyes lit up when she heard this. She immediately understood Hubert's intention and immediately began to give orders.

Everyone began to follow Sophia's command and formed two battle lines. They fired in turns and used dense bullets to form a bullet curtain in order to intercept the devouring rats.

Sure enough, this move worked.

The speed of the devouring rats was completely useless in front of the dense bullet barrage.

Any devouring rats that attempted to break through the bullet barrage would be torn into pieces by it.

"Okay, steady. Continue shooting. Slowly move forward and push forward five yards.", Sophia commanded the crowd and began to move forward in small steps. She constantly squeezed the space of the devouring rats, trying to push the devouring rats back into the tunnel.

The devouring rats became even more anxious when they saw this. They squeaked and tried to break through the bullet barrage. However, they rushed back and forth a few times. Other than leaving a ground of minced meat, they were useless.

The battle line finally pushed the devouring rats back to the edge of the passage.

At this time, the person in charge of carrying the gasoline and tear gas returned.

A child was pushing a large barrel of gasoline at the front.

Hubert remembered him. The little boy's name was Bob. He was the child who had a fever in the orphanage.

His first Holy Light Healing Spell had been used on him.

"You stinking rats, I'll let you have a taste of this!"

As Bob spoke, he pushed the entire barrel of oil to the edge of the tunnel. Then, he opened the lid and pushed the oil barrel down.

Bang! The huge oil barrel fell to the bottom of the tunnel. The bubbling gasoline flowed out and continued to spread at the bottom of the tunnel.

The devouring rats seemed to have smelled danger. They became more and more anxious and rushed up crazily.

One of the devouring rats jumped onto Bob's calf and bit it.

"Ah!", Bob screamed. His legs went weak and he fell into the passage.
