Chapter 8: "Event: Mutant Rat Rampage!"

"Throw the corrosion bag liquid inside the crowd of rats, and make them scatter!"

"BAMM!!!"

Tossed a bag made of radioactive frog skin, and spilled red pond lake liquid, into the crowd of mice. They saw the mutant rat scatter in fear, and the players who were behind Ace, drew their composite wooden bows in unison.

"Attack!!!"

"Piu!"

Seeing the rain of wooden arrows, falling from the night sky, and coming into the crowd of mutant mice. Sherlock's eyes suddenly opened wide.

"Is that so! The fire arrows just now were shown to burn flammable materials, so they can see their target in the dark!"

"I also understand one thing. We're safe!" GreenFabio got straight to the point, and he shouted excitedly.

Saw two players sitting on the tarmac casually in the front row. The player named Ace, only glanced at them briefly, before he pulled out the iron dagger at his waist, and dashed towards the crowd of mutant mice at full speed.

"CIIITTTT!!!!"

Jump, and kick the noisy mouse in the air. Ace fell into the crowd of mutant rats by stepping on a pair of mushy flesh to pieces, and he started swinging his iron blade, dancing under the attacks of wooden arrows that kept falling from the sky.

Sherlock: "...."

GreenFabio: "...."

They both opened their mouths wide.

"Is there a mod in the game where we can dodge arrows automatically?"

"I do not think so..."

Have doubts on their faces. Sherlock and GreenFabio suddenly felt someone tap their shoulder.

"Yohoho~! Fascinated by our captain's skills? the captain is the most powerful man ever!!!" Joker shouted excitedly.

Drawn by the Joker to backtrack, and hoping not to get in the way of the massacre. Sherlock Vatican asked hesitantly.

"How did you guys get so many composite bows?"

Joker smiled and said very proudly: "Of course it's all because of our captain's policy!"

"First of all, our captain obtained an abandoned log warehouse, and sold it to the merchant Linfa. producing iron daggers using car wreckage, we all went to the red forest, and killed three radioactive frogs to retrieve their hind leg tendons."

"Peel off the skin of a radioactive frog, and wrap it in the liquid from the red lake to create a corrosion bombour captain went to the Linfa merchant to negotiate, and we all got a composite bow!"

"Very easy!"

Sherlock: "...."

GreenFabio: "...."

What tiger team operation is this? All the difficult parts for players to be very easy when it comes out of his mouth!

Is this their captain's policy?

Salute to the leader!

Sherlock Vatican and GreenFabio looked at Ace who was fighting amidst the hordes of rats with amazed expressions.

Ace: "...."

Keep shooting wooden arrows until they all run out of ammo. The players who followed Ace, holding short daggers in their hands, and slaughtered the rats that wanted to enter their circle of defense.

Seeing that the fire was starting to dim, but the horde of mutant rats, still hadn't subsided. Joker who saw Ace looking at him calmly, immediately nodded his head in agreement.

"Too many mice, back off!"

"CIIITTTT!!!!"

The rats squeaked furiously, and they all started screaming loudly for call their friends who had not yet come out of the tunnel.

______

Besides that...

Linfa who didn't see any of the players approaching his tonight. stretched lazily, and he yawned tiredly.

He wanted to sleep after working all day long. But, for some reason he had a very strange feeling.

This made him very anxious.

Linfa opened the day survival forum unconsciously.

....

Joker: "Attention! Mutant Rat Raid is finally here!"

Madara: "It's over, this mutant rat is too much. We can't help it!"

Piutang: "Game developers are too passionate about developing game content. Don't they know how to give players time to grow? they immediately changed it to hard mode!"

....

Checked forum posts, and players' comments. Linfa raised his eyebrows in confusion, and he straightened his back straight.

Master: "What happened?"

Sherlock Vatican: "Dude, you just died? Let me explain."

"A while ago a mutant rat as big as a cat came out of the dark tunnel in great numbers. Many players died because they were killed by this mutant rat."

Master: "How much?"

"I don't know, maybe a hundred or three hundred? I was running to a tall building to evacuate."

"...So, you typed while running?"

"Yeah! Amazing isn't it? (^_^)"

Master: "...."

Looking at the transparent screen panel with a blank stare. Linfa who had irritated eyes, suddenly immediately received the mission completion from Sherlock Vatican.

He looked into the report written by the Vatican Sherlock, which had very detailed data on the search for enemy traces.

"Good boy, it turns out that this person is also still a human. He's very selfish."

Gives very rich merit points to Sherlock Vatican and participating players. Linfa read it quickly, and he almost broke out in a cold sweat.

According to Sherlock Vatican report. there were three types of death that caused death by the current use of their corpses.

Death under the claws of large mammals, bites of mutant rats, and bullets.

For the death of a mammal, Sherlock suspected that it was the result of an attack by a pack of wolves' claws, or from a mutated bear claw from the surrounding forest.

Ignoring the death resulting from a bullet shot, by which Linfa already knew how they die.

Linfa was intrigued by the report about the mutant rat, and he read it carefully.

This mutant mouse is as big as an adult cat, with bright green eyes, and has a black coat color, which is perfect for camouflage at night.

Besides, Sherlock speculates that these rats are nocturnal creatures. This can be seen from their behavior that comes out at night, and does not appear during the day.

Linfa: "...."

Read the text in detail, and inhaled cold breaths. Linfa felt the drowsiness in his mind suddenly disappear instantly.

Does the world hate him that so much?

It hasn't been a day since he transmigrated, he already got a super dangerous crisis!

Where is the peaceful, carefree beginner period that other transmigrations usually get? You guys want to complain to the game developer? Me, too!

Why God!?!

Breathing helplessly. Linfa started to pick up the AK-47 firearm, which he had repaired, and he counted the remaining ammo.

Although there were a hundred armed men who came to this unknown city. All the equipment they brought was trash.

An example is the AK-47 rifle which is famous for its durability in all battlefields. This famous rifle was wrapped in bandages to prevent the metal pieces and cartridge underneath from falling off to the ground.

Even when he first saw it, Linfa had serious doubts that this rifle would still work.

maybe the death of one of them that Sherlock found was the result of the bullet bouncing.

However, Linfa who had a crafting system didn't really care about it, and he disassembled a few useful pieces to put together into a whole firearm kit.

as a result, a good quality AK-47 rifle, was born in his hands at this time.

....

All players: "...."

See the system update notifications they get on the forums, as well as in-game announcements. The players were silent for a moment, then started typing.

....

Ex-machina: "I feel like the games we're playing now don't have a storyline don't they?"

Gooshbus: "Whatever, I don't know. By the way where is the respawn button? I can't enter the game!"

Sherlock Vatican: "I apologize to everyone. Even though I wanted to help, we are all still trapped on top of the three-story building. This horde of mutant mice is huge."

Tartala: "Oh? You're still alive? I thought all the players were dead!"

SkyCloud: "Seeing you guys are typing seriously, I thought you guys are really playing this game. How much did you guys get paid?"

Longuswer: "... It turns out that there are still people who still don't believe that this game really exists."

.....

Looking at the forum with a blank stare. Linfa also gave up hope, and he started to pack up his equipment.

According to the data he got from the player summoning system. Nearly 80% of them had died for some reason.

Died from collapsing buildings, died from being swallowed by radioactive frogs, died from being run over by cars, died from being crushed by buildings, died trying to experiment with their bodies, and many more. There were too many deaths to numb Linfa.

Even Undead like them, still die by any kind of disaster. Linfa who as a fragile human being, immediately knew how cruel this world was.

That's why....

He had to survive.

He would live, even if the whole world wanted to kill him.

...only for one reason.

"Revenge."

Revenge against the person who sent him here. Revenge many times over, for the one who had devised a conspiracy for him.

Linfa's eyes turned cold.

"Click!"

Pulled the pin of the AK-47 rifle in his hand. Linfa started to come out from her hiding place.
