The Devil Comes to America

Chapter 352: Mold and rats fight
The Phoenix rat infestation caused a large number of Phoenix residents to flee the city.

Those rats were really crazy. They seemed to have no intention of going back underground and started competing with humans for territory on the ground.

Even if some people close the doors and windows tightly, rats can still come out from the rat holes or various pipes in the house.

Gun store business is booming, and it's not just in Phoenix. The Rifle Association is smiling in its dreams.

Mayor Mallory called on residents to stay at home and plug all drains.

At the same time, he promised the public that he would thoroughly investigate the medical building.

The federal government also responded quickly to this matter.

A biological crisis has occurred in Phoenix. Its infectiousness is still uncertain, but the rescue team is on the way.

The military has been deployed to areas surrounding Phoenix to help eliminate these biological threats.

It also said that the biological mutations here had nothing to do with the previous human experiment incident at the Key West base.

However, the comments below these response videos were all filled with American citizens cursing.

"It doesn't matter. Both of them produce monsters, the only difference is that one is a human and the other is a mouse! Even my newborn baby wouldn't believe this!"

This view is the majority.

However, the next day, the military announced a blockade of Phoenix.

Until the biological threat in Phoenix is ​​dealt with, the government will provide free physical examinations to Phoenix residents to ensure that there is nothing wrong with their health.

Except for the ones that were attacked by rats.

At the same time, Phoenix Mayor Mallory was detained and investigated on suspicion of endangering national security.

The federal government does not have the power to directly remove a mayor, but law enforcement agencies have the power to investigate.

Jim had encountered the same problem before, but Jim was too famous at the time and it was just a small experiment, so it didn't succeed.

But Mallory was different this time.

When it comes to the entire Phoenix City and the Super Soldier Program, no matter how high Mallory's reputation is, a mayor can still be sacrificed.

Although this guy stepped forward to appease the citizens immediately after the incident, he was the one who advocated an investigation into the Medical Building.

The federal government hadn't cared about this guy's prestige in Phoenix before, but that didn't mean they didn't know.

So, when Phoenix was placed under martial law, Mallory was the first person to be targeted.

Of course, the most important thing is that although Mallory has a very high reputation in Phoenix and Arizona, there are countless people in America who are hoping that something bad will happen to him.

The white people who support him are not going to come out and support him at this time because they know what that means and they don't live in Arizona.

Those who curse him and hate him are now opening the champagne candy, especially the black people.

So, regarding this decision, you will see unanimous applause.

Except for the locals in Arizona, or the white people in Phoenix, who were helping Mallory, their voices were still too small.

Not to mention that the internet in Phoenix goes out from time to time.

The matter was finally settled after the military announced the blockade of Phoenix.

This is also the reason why Pericles convinced those people.

"What people fear most is that the same thing will happen to them. Therefore, whether it is a blockade of Phoenix or military control of Phoenix, it is what our people want to see. Phoenix has more than one million people, but America has more than 200 million people, right?"

"If we don't completely close down Phoenix City, this huge testing ground, now, there won't be another opportunity like this in the future."

Things turned out just as Pericles had said.

After the military took over, they updated the progress of eliminating the rat infestation every day, and there were fewer doubts from the outside world.

Without the shelter of the sewers, most of these rats hid in abandoned black communities and slums.

But they are still carbon-based life forms after all, so they are too vulnerable to bullets and bombs.

However, humans have never completely eradicated rats.

Blowing up a building can bury all the humans inside in the rubble, but this trick doesn't seem to work well against rats.

Even military facilities are designed to protect against people, not against rats.

Every night, a large number of military wires would be bitten off, and even the lines of some armored vehicles would be bitten off.

The same thing happens to cables buried underground.

The mouse traps set by humans are more like toys, at least they won't be able to catch the current swarm of mice.

The military set up an electric fence, and the rats dug holes under the cables to get through.

As a result, many of the first army troops responsible for blocking and controlling Phoenix were bitten or even killed by rats while they were sleeping.

Bolick knew he had miscalculated. He never thought that a group of rats could be so powerful.

His idea was for the military to intervene and wipe out all those damn beasts, but now it seems that they can't be wiped out at all!

Even some poisons stuffed into food can be identified by the rats as if they were intelligent.

Phoenix supermarkets became granaries for those rats.

The intelligent 10,000-ton grain warehouse in Phoenix City, which covers an area of ​​more than 10,000 square meters, has not been used by humans yet, so it is now used by mice.

Bolick never imagined that the US military had already suffered a setback in the world, but now it was facing a group of rats and being defeated.
Bolick's plan to solve the Phoenix problem as soon as possible has failed. In fact, it is easy to deal with the rats hiding in the ruins. Just throw some thermobaric bombs down.

But, this is a city with a population of millions after all!
Therefore, the order for individual small-range thermobaric bombs has to be given to the military industry.

In addition, they have tried tricks such as breathing fire in the ruins, but since the military arrived, these rats have hidden during the day, and there are no more terrifying scenes of them running wildly on the streets.

But the problem is far from being solved. These rats would appear at night and attack civilians and soldiers in military camps. Someone even filmed a group of rats hunting together and dragging away human corpses.

Even the gangsters in Phoenix are reluctant to go out at night these days!
At this time, Shulman in Phoenix was about to curse.

He wanted to leave after he found out something was wrong. However, when he returned home to pick up his family and asked them to pack up and prepare to leave, a rat infestation broke out in Phoenix.

Moreover, Shulman was given special care.

It was just like the fifth-phase experimental subjects who came in without knowing that everything about themselves was exposed to the mice's vision.

Shulman's cooperation with the hairless rat king was completely exposed to the long-haired and short-haired rat groups.

In the past, everyone was timid and the rats didn’t dare to do anything to Shulman.

But now the cards have been laid bare, the battle between men and mice has begun, so naturally Shulman will not be let off.

After Shulman dealt with the rats that attacked him, he wanted to leave.

It turned out that the oil pipes and electrical wires of the car had all been bitten off by rats.

He even saw a large number of hairless rats around his home.

Whenever he and his family left the house, they would be attacked by rats.

When Shulman was finally ready, Phoenix had already been blocked by the military.

Moreover, Shulman discovered that the three rat forces in Phoenix seemed to have united in the past few days.

One time when he was out, he was attacked by three groups of soldier rats. Although he also had the fighting power of the experimental subject, the number of the rats was really large.

And now, Shulman appeared in a first-floor room of an apartment.

The room was covered in rat heads and filled with a foul smell.

Just as Shulman was surprised that these mice had evolved to this point, he saw the owner of the room.

They were a couple in their fifties.

And it's not just them, there are at least ten other people in this room.

They were kneeling and bowing to a guy at this moment.

And that guy was the hairless rat king who had been dealing with Shulman before.

The 1.6-meter-tall rat was sitting on a chair like a human being. After seeing Shulman, a hint of sarcasm appeared on his face.

Yes, Shulman swore that he saw a sarcastic expression on the face of a mouse!

Then, the mouse spoke in a hoarse voice with difficulty: "Friend~~"

Shulman's face was dark: "Trapping me in Phoenix is ​​not the behavior of a friend."

The Rat King continued, "I need you."

Shulman's face was grim. "It's better for you to just go back to the sewer now! Even though Phoenix is ​​in such a mess right now, this is not the time for you to get out! I don't understand why you are doing this!"

"Danger~~"

"Huh? Are you kidding me? Aren't sewers safer than the ground?"

"Help me~~"

"Our cooperation is over!"

As soon as Shulman finished saying this, he found that all the people kneeling on the ground raised their heads and looked at him.

Everyone looked unhappy.

One person even pulled out a gun and pointed it at Schulman: "The Rat God wants to cooperate with you because he thinks highly of you, you better not be so ignorant!"

Shulman's eyes widened; "You are fucking humans! Humans! I think I'm already a lunatic, you're even crazier than me, right?"

“We are just lost lambs who need the guidance of God.” The man said with great piety: “And now, a miracle has come, and it will cleanse this dirty world.”

At this moment, Shulman understood. He was a madman who had encountered a cult!
Now, the question is not how to escape from the Rat King.

No matter how cautious he was, it was useless because he knew that everything he did was under the surveillance of the mice.

Even if I want to run away now, I have the ability to do so. The people in this house will report me to the army, the police station, the city hall and other places!
And I am a black man!
So now I have no choice.

But Shulman still felt very aggrieved. How could I, a super criminal, be considered a rapist?
Shulman took a deep breath and said, "Okay, cooperate."

After saying this, Shulman saw the suspicious looks from these people.

Helplessly, Shulman touched his necklace and spoke again: "You win, I can cooperate with you."

The suspicion in those people's eyes disappeared.

Shulman took a deep breath and asked, "What do you need me to do?"

"Food." The human said, "Food for our army."

"Your army?" Shulman felt like there was something wrong with his ears.

Should this word appear here?
But immediately, Shulman knew what was going on with this army.

He saw rooms filled with all kinds of hairless rats.

It's not this hairless group, but a group of newly born things.

This time Shulman realized something a little scary.

It seems that mice can reproduce fifty days after they are born, right?

Shulman even suddenly had an illusion in his heart. If Phoenix continued to drag on and the military did not want to completely destroy Phoenix, it would be hard to say who would win or lose!

Shulman took a deep breath and said, "I own a garbage disposal plant."

"Very good, the gods will remember your contribution."

Shulman left here, and he went not to any other place but to a residence in Phoenix.

Sweet was there.

He felt he had to resolve the matter.

Otherwise, you will be finished sooner or later!
Does anyone really think that they can win by following a group of rats?
Those cult guys don’t count, they have never been in their right minds!

To solve this problem, the most important thing is to kill the Rat King first.

But Shulman knew he couldn't do it alone.

He had known this Rat King before, when he was dealing with corpses in the sewer.

Unfortunately, even with a gun, Shulman still lost the fight.

In the end, he survived only after he relied on the power of the necklace and discovered that he could communicate with the Rat King.

Otherwise, he would have become a rat shit months ago.

Although he was getting stronger, Shulman knew that these mice were also getting stronger.

So he needs help, and the superhero from Sweet Phoenix is ​​his partner.

As for why not go directly to the military or city government.

Just like before, he would naturally report this group of rats. After all, how many people can understand rats’ talk?

But now those beasts are cooperating with humans.

Some of my actions are also under their control, and the risk is too great.

Of course, you can call or send emails.

But this is also a problem, that is, how to make the military trust us?
How to explain his relationship with these mice? And Shulman knew what happened in the laboratory, and he didn't want to be a test subject.

Most importantly, people in the military are not so easy to fool.

But Sweet is different. His friend is a child and is as innocent as a child.

If I had known, I would have been gentler on him.

I don't know how long it will take for that guy to recover.

Soon, Shulman arrived at Sweet's home.

Seeing Shulman coming, Sweet, whose lips were still a little pale, was a little surprised: "Bro, why are you here?"

"Is no one home?" Shulman asked after looking around.

"Even if it's a rat infestation, the police are here, right? Adults still have to work."

Shulman walked into the Sweet home.

He looked around vigilantly.

As if he knew what this guy was looking for, Sweet said, "Okay bro, don't be scared by those beasts. I promise you, there are definitely no rats in my house."

Shulman finally breathed a sigh of relief. He believed what Sweet said.

"Aren't you going to school?" Shulman asked.

Sweet's face flashed with embarrassment, but he still said, "Well, thanks to those crazy rats, at least we don't have to go to school for now. Many students have been attacked by rats in school. Isn't it ironic?"

"Huh? What?"

"Our school wasn't closed because of a school shooting, it was closed because of rats."

"You can tell jokes Sweet, so what are you doing at home?"

"Take a break, play with your phone, play with your computer." Sweet took out his phone and asked, "Do you know what's the hottest thing on the Internet right now?"

"what?"

"The U.S. military and rats are fighting, and the fight is going back and forth. Guess where this video came from?"

Shulman rolled his eyes. "There aren't many people in the world who dare to mock us so blatantly. I didn't come to you for this, Sweet. Tell me, how is your wound?"

"Oh, fortunately, I have recovered." Sweet's face suddenly changed when he was halfway through speaking: "What are you talking about Shulman!"

Schulman looked at Jean without changing his expression: "I'm talking about the gunshot wound."

Sweet was instantly surprised; "Oh, God! How did you know I was injured?"

Shulman sighed inwardly. This friend of his was good in every way except that he was too kind. He had made his words so clearly, but his first reaction was to ask how he could have seen that!

This guy never doubted himself!

Damn, what a nice black man.

Aren't people like this supposed to only appear in movies?
Shulman said slowly: "What do you think? There should be only one person who knows about your gunshot wound, right?"

No matter how dumb Sweet was, he still reacted. He looked at Shulman and said warily, "You can still tell it's a gunshot wound? Awesome, bro!"

Shulman was helpless, so he simply took out his mask.

At this moment, Sweet was stunned, his eyes full of disbelief: "Who are you! Who are you! What have you done to Shulman!"

"I'm your brother, Sweet, calm down, okay? I revealed my identity in front of you because I have something important to tell you!"

It took Sweet a while to accept this reality, but the first thing he asked was: "What happened to those two people!"

"Dead." Shulman said calmly, "I killed him!"

"Why!"

"Because they deserve to die. You don't know how many people they killed!" Shulman said, "These people deserve to die, don't they?"

"But."

"Hoodie Man should hang those damn bastards on the street lights!" Shulman said slowly: "I remember this is what you said about Sweet. I am actually very curious, why didn't you do this after becoming a superhero?"

Sweet was stunned.

"Because.Because"

Sweet found that he didn't know why, it seemed that he had become like this since that conversation with his father.

He once despised his father for betraying black people, but after that night, it seemed as if he understood what responsibility was overnight.

"I don't care what you do, but I want to say that for those murderers, Hoodie Man will also choose to kill them." Shulman said, holding up his necklace: "Remember this?"

"Remember"

"You should have discovered that I'm not a normal person that night, right?"

Sweet nodded.

"That's the ability it gave me." Shulman said calmly, "We both gained superpowers, but we chose different ways to use them."

Sweet opened his mouth, not quite sure how to answer.

After a while, Sweet finally spoke: "So, why did you come to see me?"

Shulman breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, this guy was still so easy to fool.

"save the world."

Seeing the light suddenly bloom in Sweet's eyes, Shulman sighed.

Sweet, how did you become a good person?
