Lin Shuangshuang kept a close eye on them, only feeling relieved after confirming that all the members of the Tiger Roar Squad had left.

"Let's continue with the mission."

As she spoke, she walked towards Huo Ling, reverting to her obedient demeanor.

Although Huo Ling has emotions, she will never show them while doing missions. That would be irresponsible not only to herself but also to her teammates.

Liu Chengguang was about to call his teammates into the teaching building when they heard a rustling sound coming from afar, which grew louder and louder.

Everyone got goosebumps.

"What was that sound?!"

"Damn, that sound is giving me the creeps."

"Watch out!! What's that over there?? It's a long, black, slender creature!"

"Is it a snake?"

"No! It's not a snake!! It's a mutated rat running in a line, biting its own tail!"

With a final gasp of surprise, black "lines" surrounded them from all directions.

Qi Mo couldn't help but stomp his foot. His legs were so scared they were a little weak. "Damn, they really are rats! How disgusting! Why are they lining up to come here??"

Qi Zhi summoned a bunch of morning glories, forming a circle around the group to temporarily keep the mutated rats out. "They're trying to trap us!"

The mutant rats have jet-black, glossy fur that looks like it's been coated with wax. It's even waterproof, and acid rain will roll off immediately without harming these mutant rats in the slightest.

Rona summoned a swarm of small fireballs that hovered in mid-air, preparing to pounce. She exclaimed, "This fur is a real treasure! If only we could pluck it off..."

Having a mechanic in the team makes teammates pay special attention to the available materials when going out.

She said it almost subconsciously, then quickly shut up after realizing what she had said.

Good things shouldn't be shared easily.

Lorna looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that no one was paying attention to her.

Wu Zhe and Gao Lei whispered to her, "We'll collect them ourselves after we win the battle." "Yes, let's take them back to Brother Zhang, they'll definitely be useful."

Lorna nodded.

Huo Ling tried to control the mutated rat head, but he couldn't bind it, which surprised him. But it wasn't surprising; what strange things weren't there in the apocalypse? They could just block mental abilities.

"These guys' value has increased several times over. Be careful, rats can understand human speech. Use gestures to communicate your strategies."

These mutant rats are clearly unusual; they are exceptionally intelligent, and they even manage to surround and attack humans.

Menacing.

Liu Chengguang's superpower is light-based. He conjured up a bunch of "flashbangs" and threw them into the pile of rats, instantly unleashing a blinding light.

The mutated rats were provoked into letting out piercing screams, "Squeak squeak squeak—!!!"

Wu Zhe suddenly covered his ears, "Holy crap, oh my god, that hurts! That sound is so shrill, I feel like my eardrums are about to burst! What the hell was that noise?!"

He painstakingly manipulated his earth-based powers, causing the area where the mutated rats were to sink, successfully scattering them. The rats, now out of control, surged wildly in the pit, constantly emitting piercing cries.

While covering his ears, Qi Mo used his supernatural abilities to buff everyone, enhancing their powers for a short time, and then threw some healing auras at them. He had to increase the intensity of his own aura as well. "I'm going deaf!!"

He told the others to hurry up.

Gao Lei immediately petrified the several large pits that Wu Zhe had created, trapping the mutated rats inside. Simple mud and soil couldn't hold them, but the mutated rocks could block their way.

The dark-colored rats are only about the size of an adult's palm; their small size makes them even more dangerous.

They stepped over their companions to get up.

They flocked to the team.

Liu Chengguang warned his teammates, "They're coming, be careful!!"

As he spoke, supernatural abilities kept emerging. He tried to blind the mutated rats and burn them with light, but their fur was too strong.

Lorna noticed too, "Oh my god, did they put all their evolution points into their fur?! It's so hard to fight them, even fire can't really burn through it!"

Only a few low-level mutated rats would be ignited by her fireballs; the others would dart away very quickly, completely unafraid of them.

The official team used all their superpowers, taking turns throwing rats into the pits created by Wu Zhe and Gao Lei, but many mutated rats still managed to escape.

They had never seen this scene before, and their composure faltered slightly.

"No! What do we do?! They're not afraid of our abilities!"

"Aaaaaah, it's in!!"

"What?!?"

"Don't panic!!"

"My legs!!"

"Ugh!! My arm!"

There were injuries on the official side, and the smell of blood filled the air.

The mutated rats became increasingly excited.

They kept making "squeaking" sounds, which they did on purpose.

The purpose is to unsettle people, so that once they panic, they can take advantage of them.

Lin Shuangshuang's figure circled around the morning glory, sweeping a group of mutated rats to death with a single swing of her steel pipe. She walked leisurely around the perimeter without batting an eye or breaking a sweat, even muttering to herself that the steel pipe in her hand might be more useful if it were a large racket.

She felt that using a steel pipe to kill rats was too inefficient, but this steel pipe was the most convenient one for her at the moment.

Qi Zhi quickly repaired the mutated morning glory wall; without these protective walls, everyone would be in even greater danger. She also used vines to strangle some of the mutated rats. "Mo Mo, cast healing auras on the injured first!!"

If you don't revive your teammates, the remaining players will have an even harder time fighting.

Qi Mo immediately agreed, "Coming!"

Amidst the chaos, he located his injured teammates, immediately focused his energy, and cast healing auras on them. "Brother Lu, Sister Ping, using your abilities will increase your healing speed, so get started!"

His teammates immediately did as instructed, and the bleeding was successfully stopped, saving his life.

Huo Ling used the mental network's net to grab several controllable mutated "strongmen," including four mutated dogs and eight mutated cats.

These are all cats that the children used to feed in the academy. The mutated dog was just passing by when Huo Ling grabbed it to help fight.

"Woof woof woof!!!"

"Meow—!!"

After the mutated cats and dogs joined the battlefield, the pressure from their bloodlines began!

The situation immediately eased considerably.

Cats and dogs are the most experienced at dealing with mice, something humans can't match.

After resolving the predicament, Huo Ling began to call the little monster back, "Lin Shuangshuang, come to the safe zone. Leave the professional matters to the professionals."

The main problem was that she was constantly running around outside, which made him very anxious.

It's so nerve-wracking.

This worry has nothing to do with how strong she is; he just worries.

I don't want anything to happen to her.

Seeing that the situation had improved, Lin Shuangshuang realized that she no longer needed to clean up the mutated rats outside. The reason was that Qizhi's morning glory wall was too weak and couldn't stop them with just that, so she went out to add another layer of protection with brute force. Now it seemed that it was indeed unnecessary.

So she obediently replied, "Okay," and then returned to Huo Ling's side.
