Chapter 7: Attention From The Officials!

At the same time, in a military base in southern China.

A middle-aged man with a Chinese character face and slightly dark skin is sitting in his seat, with one hand on the table and tapping rhythmically with his index finger.

In front of him was a subordinate who was reporting the situation.

"Reporting to the chief, according to the news that just came from the armed forces at the front, twenty-three of the hundred-man team we sent out to drive away the killer rats were seriously injured and have been sent to the emergency department for treatment."

"In addition, thirty-six people suffered minor injuries."

"The two accompanying tanks were severely damaged and are no longer able to move."

"The captain of that armed force sent a message asking for help. He hopes we can send more people."

"With their current numbers and equipment, they cannot form a combat force to crush them and achieve effective expulsion."

After finishing speaking in one breath, the soldier in charge of the report looked at the man in the seat.

The latter's expression was extremely solemn at the moment, and even his index finger tapped the table much more frequently, apparently thinking.

A middle-aged man named Chen Guomin is the top person in charge of this military base. He has commanded his subordinate troops to fight against the killer rats dozens of times.

Therefore, he is very aware of the horror of killer rats.

Although those rat-like monsters are small in size, their power is astonishing.

Even tanks with specially increased armor thickness cannot withstand their terrifying incisors.

He already knew this when he sent out the armed forces.

What he didn't expect was that the gap between the two parties would be so big.

Chen Guomin rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and then suddenly looked up at the soldier who was reporting as if he remembered something.

"By the way, how is the research on Warcraft at the institute going? Have any weaknesses been discovered?"

It's not that he doesn't want to mobilize more forces to assist, but that there are not many manpower available in the military base today.

Because there were many large-scale incidents of monsters injuring people in the southern coastal area, he dispatched a large number of troops there.

Although it is also important to expel the killer rats and prevent them from approaching nearby towns, it is difficult to send out much combat power now.

Otherwise, the base would be completely empty.

At the moment, he can only hope that there will be some new discoveries from the institute, which will alleviate their pressure.

However, after hearing his words, the soldier responsible for reporting the news just shook his head.

Seeing this, Chen Guomin couldn't help but look a little ugly.

After a while, as if he had made some decision, his eyes gradually turned cold.

"Forget it if you don't find it. Even if you use the number of people to pile up, you must not let those guys enter a crowded area."

"Contact the troops stationed near Yangshu Town and ask them..."

Just as Chen Guomin was speaking halfway, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly came through.

A soldier hurried into the office.

"Report...report!"

Perhaps because of the rush, even the soldier's voice became a little out of breath.

Chen Guomin immediately frowned.

"What's the matter?"

"You are a soldier. You must remain calm at all times, you know?"

"Report! Got it!"

The soldier quickly stood up and gave a military salute.

After seeing this scene, Chen Guomin's expression softened a little.

"Okay, tell me what's going on."

"Reporting to the chief, we just made a major discovery about killer rats!"

"What!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Guomin slammed the table and stood up, his face filled with uncontrollable joy.

"Those guys at the institute finally came in handy. What did they say?"

There was a hint of impatience in his voice.

After all, the biggest trouble right now is dealing with the killer rats. If some useful information can be provided, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce their pressure.

However, after hearing his words, the soldier who had just entered was stunned for a moment, and then quickly shook his head.

"It's not a discovery from the research institute, it's from an internet anchor who popularizes science about World of Warcraft."

"Internet anchor?"

"Popular science about Warcraft?"

This time, it was Chen Guomin's turn to be stunned.

The soldier who reported the matter understood the situation and immediately took out the laptop he was carrying.

On the screen was the live replay of Lin Hao's previous science popularization of the Ratada.

Chen Guomin didn't say anything, he just watched quietly with doubts.

"The killer rat...called Rattata? He is timid and fearful by nature, and he also avoids humans?"

After hearing Lin Hao's explanation in the video, Chen Guomin suddenly frowned.

And when he saw Lin Hao encountering the legendary killer rat, not only did he not choose to escape immediately, but instead took the initiative to move forward and backward, his brows suddenly frowned even more tightly.

However, because of his own literacy issues, he didn't say much and still just watched quietly.

Until...the killer rat, which was shown in close-up on the screen, took a few steps back.

"How can this be!!!"

The moment he saw the killer rat retreating, Chen Guomin couldn't help but widen his eyes, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Are you kidding me?

Their well-equipped troops suffered heavy losses, and even the tank army known as the Iron Torrent, which was unable to withstand the Killer Rats, actually retreated on its own initiative at this time?

And the other party is actually alone?

"Has the authenticity of this video been verified?"

Chen Guomin's eyes instantly became sharp and he looked at the soldier who reported the matter.

The latter immediately nodded heavily.

"We have contacted the official of the Dousha Live Broadcasting Platform. What you just saw was live broadcast, and we can basically confirm its authenticity."

Hearing this, the corners of Chen Guomin's eyes suddenly jumped violently.

As the person in charge of this military base, he has been dealing with the problem of World of Warcraft, so he knows much more about the killer rats that he has fought with many times than ordinary people.

In the past few months, they have paid a lot of price in order to deal with these difficult guys.

More than ten tanks were damaged alone.

Now someone actually told me that this kind of monster is actually not very aggressive?

Chen Guomin frowned and began to recall in detail the previous battles against the killer rats.

After a moment, his expression became strange.

It wouldn't matter if you didn't think about it carefully. Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that the recent confrontations with the killer rats were really caused by their active expulsion of the killer rats in order to prevent them from approaching crowded areas.

The latter has really never taken the initiative to attack.

Could it be that...what this popular science anchor said is true?

Thinking of this, Chen Guomin's expression suddenly became complicated.

No matter how you look at it, this sounds a bit unbelievable.

After hesitating for a long time and weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he looked at the soldier who had given the order previously.

"Let the people of that armed force withdraw first."

"In addition, notify the troops near Yangshu Town to spread out their defenses and be prepared to resist the monsters."

"Attention, if the killer rat doesn't take the initiative to attack, don't act rashly."

After saying that, he stood up and looked at the soldier who reported the news about the killer rat.

"Go to the central control room and bring up the live broadcast room of the popular science anchor you just mentioned."

"I want to see his live broadcast right away!"

Begging for data, begging for everything!
