The Devil Comes to America

Chapter 353: The mold was suppressed by mice!
Sweet's eyes widened, "A talking mouse!"

Shulman looked helpless: "Yes, I also found it incredible when I first saw that guy, but he can indeed talk."

"So, these rat infestations are all caused by that medical building, right?"

"At least that's what the news said. According to my investigation, yes, their pharmaceutical wastewater was discharged into the sewer. These rats are conducting human experiments almost all the time."

"Those who can't bear it will die, but their bodies will be eaten by their own kind. The good news is that they have escaped now. If they really stayed in the sewer for a few more years, who knows what kind of monster would escape from it."

Sweet's expression was a little subtle.

"What's wrong bro?"

Sweet shook his head, and then said, "The medical building has been blocked by the military. I just think it's a bit ironic that the person who wants to investigate that place the most is that lunatic Mallory."

Shulman snorted: "You still want to go to the government?"

"At least the military has strong firepower, right?"

"What about us?" Sweet said faintly, "Are we still considered human? How do you explain the existence of those rats to them?"

"You saw it by accident?"

"What if the military can't solve it and those guys run back to the sewers again? They are hunting those rats, but only we know how those things are harassing us."

"We can only bet that the rats are like the bee colonies, led by the Rat King." Shulman said seriously: "We are the last hope of Phoenix City. We have obtained this strange power, so we must take responsibility for it, right, Sweet?"

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Sweet was moved.

It is true that Sweet is a black man, but he is a kind black man.

"Can we really?"

"Anyway, I don't trust the government." Shulman said calmly, "They made those things. Have you forgotten what they did to us? Phoenix can only be saved by the people of Phoenix themselves. I even suspect that the military is studying those rats, so they haven't eliminated them yet."

Sweet was silent.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "We must ensure that we kill the Rat King, right?"

“Yes, because I can communicate, they are looking for me to cooperate now.”

"what?"

"Don't be surprised." Shulman smiled bitterly, "The damn cult in Phoenix City now worships those rat kings as gods. These pagans want to destroy this city."

"I understand." Sweet said seriously, "Then we must make sure to kill that guy in one go to prevent it from running back to the sewer! I need time to recover."

"How long will it take Sweet."

"According to previous situations, two or three days would be enough, but thanks to you, Shulman, this time it will take at least a week."

Shulman nodded slightly and suddenly asked, "The abilities I gained are storage, persuasion, and some physical enhancement. What about you, Sweet?"

Sweet blinked, "You have so many abilities. I think I only have physical enhancement. Oh, and there should be some physical recovery."

Shulman analyzed in his mind that his fighting ability was more than enough to deal with ordinary people, but was this the reason why he was insufficient when facing these supernatural powers?
Because I have too many abilities?

This is good, at least Sweet is still within the scope of his understanding.

He didn't think Sweet would lie to him, because then he wouldn't be Sweet.

According to Sweet, including the previous time, he would need at least three days.

Shulman just hoped that nothing else would happen in the next three days.

But obviously, the opposite happened.

The next day, some media reported that a large number of US soldiers responsible for cleaning up the mutant rats in Phoenix were sent to the hospital.

They were poisoned.

Soon, more news appeared.

After all, a country that boasts of freedom and democracy has imposed martial law and blockaded a city of a million people that is full of mutant rats. This is something that will attract attention if you report it.

Who can have trouble with money?

It wasn't just America's own media that was reporting on this. America, which is accustomed to backstabbing its allies, was also backstabbed by its ally this time.

For example, under the BBC's lens, the entire Phoenix city seems to have fallen into doomsday. During the day, pedestrians on the street have solemn expressions and move hurriedly. At night, the entire street is empty, but the rustling sound everywhere tells you that there are dangerous things hidden in the invisible darkness.

This time the news was also released by the BBC, saying that a large number of soldiers responsible for cleaning up the biological rats suffered from acute gastroenteritis, and it was suspected that they had eaten something unclean.

This was a very euphemistic way of putting it, but it was enough to excite audiences around the world who were watching the fun.

After all, after the initial disaster, there were no more scenes of rats attacking humans.

It’s not that the mice didn’t do it, but that no one took a picture of it or it wasn’t spread out.

The Internet in Phoenix is ​​not very good right now.

Therefore, the military knows how serious this biological crisis is, but the outside world does not know.

So there are not many saints who jump out now, because even these guys are thinking about the same question.

Humans can't be defeated by mice, right?
However, some animal rights activists have emerged to speak up for mice. They demand that the government focus on capturing mice rather than killing them.

Yes, they are calling out the mold for not slaughtering rats.

The residents of Phoenix would curse when they saw this scene.

As for similar organizations within Phoenix, they have long ceased to exist.

It has been a few days now. Anyone who dared to have close contact with mice would have turned into rat droppings long ago.

Animal protection is a business. Seeing that Phoenix is ​​not making any money and is even losing money, how can those guys not run away?

The rest are just a bunch of idiots who were fooled by them.

There were still such guys on the first day, but they were gone on the second day.

The people of Phoenix are tough now and generally won't tolerate idiots like this. After all, they even expelled black people. How can they tolerate people like you who talk nonsense?
They are not afraid of the protests and retaliation from the black community, so are they afraid of the retaliation from the small animals?
However, compared to the BBC's tactfulness, another TV station was bolder. After all, there is still some father-son relationship between Da Ying and America.

The AFP news was very sharp, with a picture of a hospital filled with guys in military uniforms and a photo of a dead soldier. The headline was even more outrageous: "The rats successfully poisoned people."

The report was based on insider information that the military's video storage warehouse was invaded and contaminated by rats, which led to the acute gastroenteritis in a large number of soldiers.

How can I explain this kind of thing? Normally, everyone would just watch it for fun and then check their own warehouse.

After all, it's sometimes hard to prevent rats.

But coincidentally, before this, there were a large number of mouse traps set up by humans, and many people took videos of mice bypassing the traps or directly triggering the traps and taking the food.

Some people even filmed themselves adding poison to food, but the rats that appeared in the surveillance video just sniffed it and walked away.

As if he knew that there was something wrong with this thing.

A group of rat catchers have turned into fishermen. Their B rat traps are just like various lures, useless without balls and hooks.

If you insist on telling the difference.

It probably means that anglers who are desperate for fishing still have the option of pumping out the water. No matter whether they can pump out all the water or not, at least they have this option. If you fail to catch any fish when sea fishing, you can say that you spared its life and were too lazy to pump out the sea water.

But when faced with these rats, it seems there is really no other way.

With this comparison, it seems that you poisoned the rat, but the rat was fine, so it was the rat that successfully poisoned you.

Even AFP reported in detail the first death of the U.S. Army stationed in Phoenix.

This soldier accidentally ate the snacks mixed with rat poison that were given to rats. He died of kidney failure after failed rescue efforts.

So the air in some places is becoming more cheerful.

The mold and rats used to fight back and forth, but now it has become bad, the mold has been suppressed by the rats!
The army stationed in Phoenix was also cursing in their hearts.

Who knew eating the food supplied by the army would turn out like this?

The U.S. military’s food team also has something to say. To feed so many people, there must be a place to store the food.

Who knew this thing was contaminated before something happened after eating it?

In other words, who would have thought that mice knew the art of war and knew how to steal your food supplies.

As for how the outside media got to know this news, that's easy.

As long as the reward is high, there are plenty of people who will give you the information.

Even military secrets are sold, let alone daily matters which are not secrets at all.

Bolick was almost mad at this point.

These guys who are trying to eradicate the rat infestation are a disgrace to the whole world.

A well-trained team was bullied like this by a group of rats!
He couldn't understand how a group of people with hot weapons could be reduced to the state of being half-powerless by a group of rats.

Not only do I need to send more troops to eliminate a group of rats, but I also have to send support troops?

Bolick swore that he had never hated that mysterious organization so much!
One of his men came over and said, "Sir, the FBI has received news that they have detected a lot of people in Phoenix browsing the Internet."

Bolick waved his hands. "That's great! I'm really afraid that they will only watch the domestic news, and then see those citizens who speak up for the rats, see those who think they are all sick, and see those voices that question our actions and infringe on freedom. Then, this group of lunatics who expelled the blacks will pick up guns and form an alliance with the rats to attack our army!"

The subordinate was stunned: "Ah? This is impossible, sir?"

"Before those rats attacked our warehouse, would you have thought that they would pee on our food? They were not even willing to poop to remind us!" Bolick couldn't help but shout at this point, "What's going on with Morgan? I doubt whether these rats acted spontaneously or were directed by someone. Did he find out anything?
Damn it, I shouldn't have let Bob come back! At least Bob was fast enough."

"Uh, that's what I'm talking about sir."

"External network?"

"Yes."

"what?"

"Look, we have translated it."

Bolick took the information and looked at it, and found that this should be a discussion post on some forum.

The name is: If it were you, how would you command these rats to defeat the US military.

They even set conditions, such as because rats ran out of the sewers, they could not retreat into the sewers until they were completely defeated.

Bolick even had a feeling that these people were treating our army like pigs. You don't set restrictions for the military, but for mice?

The following replies are all talented.

"I think the first thing is the fundamentals of street fighting. If we follow this premise, I think the rats need to hide under various houses to prevent missile bombings from the US military."

Bolick frowned as he watched.

Bombing your own city? You can be an idiot, but don't treat us as idiots, okay?
Others say that animals’ night vision is their greatest advantage, so they must hide during the day and all attacks must be carried out at night.

Bolick frowned. That was exactly what the rats did.

There are also talks about taking advantage of the characteristics of rats to destroy various underground pipes and lines, causing chaos in Phoenix. There are millions of people in Phoenix, and if they get into chaos, the US troops stationed there can't really shoot at their own citizens, right?

Bolick pursed his lips. The rats did the same thing, but they prioritized destroying the military.

Some people also said that they could actually attack the medical building. It seemed that the place was very important because the mayor who wanted to investigate the medical building was investigated. He would let the rats attack the building. There must be a place for the rats to get in. After the military went there to provide support, the remaining rats would rush out of Phoenix City.

They will be wiped out sooner or later if they are trapped in Phoenix. But if they break out of Phoenix and spread out to another place, with the breeding ability of rats, they can spread across a city, a state, or even half of the United States and the entire United States. Then they can't be completely wiped out. Running away is the best strategy and it never goes out of style.

Bolick was a little frightened when he saw this. This must be prevented. Bolick also knew that the person who said this must have watched a lot of movies. The Spark Project, what a familiar name.

Then, Bolick saw a post saying that in fact humans have never fought a war with animals. Rats themselves carry a large number of bacteria and viruses, which contaminate their food. If there is a problem with the food and fodder, the morale of the army will be disrupted.

The more Bolick looked, the more he felt something was wrong.

He looked at his subordinate fiercely: "Close this forum!"

The subordinate looked a little embarrassed: "We don't have this right."

Bolick frowned and said, "Just lock him up. Damn it, let me see what he looks like."

The subordinate handed over the original document.

When Bolick saw the Chinese characters on it, he felt a headache.

After thinking for a while, he threw the thing back: "Tell the CIA to get rid of this thing, no matter what method they use. Shut it down for me! Do you know what this place is originally used for?"

"It seems to be a game forum."

"Bullshit! How do people on the game forum know so many tactics?"

"Uh" It was obvious that the subordinate was unable to explain something.

"Forget it." Bolick said helplessly, "Let the CIA do the work. We spend so much money every year to raise so many dogs. It's time for them to play a role. However, it seems that these rats are indeed commanded by someone. Let Morgan catch the person according to the location!"

"Yes!"

Bolick rubbed his brow and walked out.

As soon as I went out, I ran into Bob who came here.

"Sir." Seeing Bolick coming out, Bob quickly asked, "Has the matter in Phoenix been resolved?"

"Solved! Our people are almost dealt with, but the reinforcements have already arrived. Why are you here? Aren't you responsible for the research and development of medicines?"

"We have made some progress." Bob handed the information to Bolick excitedly: "We have done a brand new experiment."

"What?" Bolick took the information and looked at it, then his face changed slightly: "You are using the congressman to conduct experiments!"

Bolick felt like he was half crazy. He didn't expect that Bob, a usually steady guy, was even more outrageous than him.

Even Major General Morgan participated in the experiment because he was exposed to nuclear radiation in San Diego and didn't have much time left to live, so Berlick informed him of the super soldier program and decided to participate.

But Bob.

Bob, who has always been steady, actually kidnapped a Nevada state legislator and conducted an experiment on him.

Bob said, "I read our report, which mentioned that several of the successful subjects in the fifth phase of the experiment were officers, while the soldiers and low-ranking officers all failed."

"The only thing that all four perfect experimental subjects had in common, besides the fact that they had survived four rounds of drug experiments, was that they all had at least the rank of captain."

"Officers can succeed, right?" Bolick said, "We have had this guess before, but it's too hard to believe, isn't it, Bob? The experimental results are not based on science, but on the American medal? Do you think this is possible?"

Bob smiled and said, "Whether it is possible or not still depends on experiments. So, I was wondering if besides officers and officials, congressmen can also do it? In our current situation, sir, to be honest, we must be bold."

"So you arrested a state legislator?"

"No one knows his identity now except you and me. The third phase did it."

Bolick was silent for a long time before he said, "What are the results of the experiment?"

"It's a success." Bob said seriously, "The fifth stage of strengthening has improved physical fitness. Under the stress test, there are no side effects of the fifth stage warriors! They won't go crazy or become psychotic."

Bolick's eyes widened: "Are you serious?"

"At least he's fine." Bob said, "But we need more test samples and more officials to see if it's an identity issue or if the guy just got lucky."

"so."

"Didn't Phoenix capture a lot of congressmen and officials? Base No. 4 is also there."

Bolick frowned; "Phoenix City is special."

"Then we should go to Nevada and catch some?"

Bolick was silent, then said, "Let's go to Phoenix if we fail."

“The failure might be due to the rain in Phoenix.” Bob said seriously, “I think this is definitely a direction!”

After a pause, he said, "Then let's experiment together. By the way, are there any other side effects?"

Bob thought about it, and then said, "It's similar to Julia's case. Although it strengthens the body, its functions will gradually decline over time."

Bolick stroked his chin and said, "That is to say, a large amount of raw materials is needed."

"Yes."

Bolick nodded slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. "Julia and I have come to the same conclusion. Bob, do you think we are studying the same thing as them?"
