Otherworld Girl Development Guide

In the confined space, the passage was blocked by shotgun shells, while a sergeant holding a 35mm grenade submachine gun poked his head out from behind the cover and fired 35mm grenades at the area where the ratmen were most densely packed.

DUANG~DUANG~DAUNG~ The grenades in the drum magazine were launched, and then another magazine was switched to continue suppressing the passage... Even if a ratman occasionally rushed close, he would be ignited by the flamethrower and turned into a struggling torch.

Although the underground environment is quite complex, if one occupies a favorable position, narrow passages can be easily blocked, making it impossible for even one person to break through.

"Feeling a little uncomfortable?"

The sergeant noticed the technicians' movements slowing down and jokingly asked, "I'm usually silent when fighting alongside other soldiers, but I can joke around with these technicians to reduce my inner pressure."

"A little, after all, I never imagined I'd be working on the front lines one day..."

"Haha, you'll get used to it. Actually, there's no need to be so nervous. You can think of them as giant rats, and the guns in your hands as slippers..."

"That's a truly amazing metaphor..."

The technician suppressed the urge to complain, checked the last parameter, and after confirming that everything was correct, looked up and said, "...Ready to go."

"Okay, I understand..."

The sergeant who was fighting the ratmen at the front line immediately launched a counter-charge against the charging ratmen, and swiftly repelled their offensive.

The remaining ratmen fled back to the depths of the underground network in a panic, where, under the squeaks of their leader, they prepared to regroup and launch another attack on the terrifying upright apes.

Taking advantage of this window of opportunity, the sergeants quickly retreated and deployed "anti-ratman directional mines" on the walls and the ground. For humanitarian reasons, anti-personnel directional mines at most use steel balls and shrapnel, but to deal with ratmen, the internal explosives have been completely transformed into liquid crystals.

After the sonic boom, the liquid crystals from this landmine will spray out like a shower of flowers, and quickly turn into clusters of crystals of various sizes, which, along with the explosives, will burrow into the ratmen's bodies.

What followed was a process worse than death...

After the sergeants retreated to the directional launcher, the other launcher was ready to launch.

"Ready, let's begin..."

In the ground control center, the commander picked up the microphone and said softly, "...I order, launch!"

Following the commander's order, the two microwave transmitters were activated. The gravitational field binding the neutrons was shut down, and the raging neutrons, having found an outlet, began to take directional photographs in the direction of the operation.

Countless tiny "bullets," carrying energy levels capable of easily tearing DNA, pierced through the cave's rocks and "flowed" through the cracks in the matter... However, the subterranean rat people were unaware that the end of the world had arrived.

Outside the core of the cave, in the largest community of ratmen, hundreds of ratmen who had survived the attacks of the sergeants were barely clinging to life.

Several white ratmen dressed in different clothes are checking on the condition of these injured ratmen.

As the second level of the pyramid within the underground rat tribe, these white rat people worship a god called "Big Rat" and assist their leader in managing the tribe. They are also the tribe's "doctors," the kind who cut rubber for foot pain and amputate their hands for hand pain...

The resources underground are extremely scarce, and these precious resources will not be wasted on the ratmen who cannot be saved. In fact, the ratmen themselves are a kind of resource that can be recycled.

"Useless! DEA! DEA!" White Rat Man

Bai Shuren stepped forward to examine a ratman who was barely breathing. After confirming that the ratman had been attacked by a crystal weapon, he immediately signaled to the ratman next to him to take it to the rat giant.

The perpetually hungry rat giant doesn't care whether what he eats is "poison" or not, as long as it fills his eternally hungry stomach.

Anyway, these rat giants will soon be sent to the battlefield to die in battle against the hairless creatures.

The white ratman then checked the condition of another ratman. Upon discovering that it had lost a leg, a guard immediately stepped forward and stabbed it in the heart with a sharp weapon. The ratman was then skinned and dismembered, its flesh and blood becoming a "resource" for the continuation of its race.

After dealing with more than ten rat-men, the white rat-man suddenly felt a stinging pain in his arm...

Lifting the sparse clothing of the rats in the group, a large charred mark appeared on their noble white fur, which had appeared at some point.

The white rat's face immediately showed a look of terror. What was going on...?

Chapter 328 The Apocalypse of the Ratmen (Part 2)

An invisible torrent of neutrons washed over every ratman in the area.

Each of these invisible neutrons is an unseen killer. Soon, the rats began to stir unconsciously. Their natural instincts alerted them to the approaching danger, but they did not know where the danger came from... Their barren brains simply did not understand the terror of the attack at the microscopic level.

The attack of neutron beams is undefendable, at least not by the ratmen. The neutron beams that cross each other even release energy due to their collisions, according to the law of conservation of mass-energy, and blast the ratmen's DNA to smithereens at the microscopic level.

The impact of such a massive neutron torrent was simply too much for the "evolutionary enzyme" to withstand, and cells began to die in large numbers.

The rat-man, exposed to neutron radiation, continuously developed charred marks on his body...

Soon, some of the weaker ratmen vomited and collapsed. Large areas of their fur began to fall out, and burns first appeared on their skin. Then, their flesh began to melt under the neutron radiation, even their bones were affected...

The rats howled, screamed, and struggled, but no matter how much they struggled, all that awaited them was endless pain as they watched their bodies collapse and melt into a foul-smelling liquid, finally finding release.

The entire enormous cavern was filled with a strange metallic smell...

At first, the ratmen were able to struggle, but with the continued exposure to neutron radiation, the huge population of tens of thousands of ratmen was expected to become dead.

Flesh and blood melted into pus, which, under the attraction of gravity, condensed towards lower areas, gradually forming a special "pool".

Drip...drip...The foul-smelling liquid dripped continuously onto the surface of the pool, creating ripples on the yellowish-green water. The stench, mixed with a metallic smell, rose from the surface...At this moment, the ratman's colony seemed to have turned into a filthy garden.

--------------------------------------

"You'll be entering the rat-man settlement in eight hours?"

The technician, observing the operation of the neutron radiation generator, asked softly, "The neutron radiation device itself does not produce neutrons; rather, it acts as a neutron transporter. Once the machine is shut down, the neutron torrent will disappear, and we can enter in a few hours."

"No, the specialized chemical defense troops will go in; they are the experts," the sergeant replied. Specialization is key; although they are highly capable in combat, entering a radiation zone is clearly not their domain.

"Hmm... I hope they're mentally strong enough; hell is just ahead!"

Technicians are well aware of the consequences of being exposed to massive amounts of neutron radiation. Chernobyl is the best example. Surviving radiation is not "lucky," but the beginning of a long period of torment. Suicide may be the best way out.

After the two neutron radiation devices were shut down, the personnel present quickly evacuated. However, the ratmen who had been harassing them seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Time passed by, and soon eight hours had gone by. The chemical defense soldiers, dressed in professional radiation protection suits, used a Gell-Breeze counter to monitor the neutron radiation area. After confirming that it was within a safe range, a chemical defense battalion entered the field.

Beep beep beep... The Geller counter constantly monitors the amount of radiation in the surroundings. Every step is slow because, under the impact of neutrons, the seemingly solid rock beneath one's feet may be more fragile than tofu.

With a snap, the boot sank into the ground, raising some dust which was quickly caught by gravity and fell back down.

Inside the cave, all was deathly silent... LED searchlights illuminated the area ahead, and after advancing two hundred meters, the chemical defense soldiers stopped.

Before me, the melted bodies of more than twenty rat-men had merged with the ground, the viscous liquid and dust mixed together, and the flesh and blood of the rat-men had fused together, turning into something resembling a rat-centipede.

The chemical defense soldiers stepped forward, bent down, and collected some remains of the rat-man corpses, partially melted bones, and pus.

Humans have never used neutron bombs on their own kind, and can only refer to some historical nuclear accidents. However, the killing effect of neutron radiation on rat-men provides detailed material for rabbits. The rat-men can be said to have died a worthy death... I guess.

After collecting enough samples, the chemical defense troops used flamethrowers to incinerate the remains of the ratmen.

Under the cleansing effect of the neutron flood, the virus could not survive. However, according to regulations, the remains of the rat-man still needed to be disinfected. Only the high temperature of the flames could completely eliminate the potential threat.

Half-melted and completely melted ratmen were everywhere, each one a mangled mess of flesh... As the chemical defense troops continued to penetrate deeper into the region, even those who had undergone professional training began to experience psychological discomfort. The sight of flesh melted by radiation was too much for humans, who are visual creatures.

The images were transmitted via data link to the integrated command center in Shangqiu, making the officers in command look grim. This was the horrific scene after being attacked by "nuclear weapons," like hell!

Therefore, we must establish a complete protection system for the rabbit burrows no matter what, so that such a disaster will not befall the little rabbits!

After passing through the passage leading to the Skaven settlement, the chemical defense soldiers were immediately struck by the sight of the forward-deployed drones rapidly gathering in the area, where there were no heat sources identified by the IFF.

However, in the infrared field of vision, there was only deathly silence...

LED lights illuminated the enormous lake of pus, a lake formed from the "essence" of tens of thousands of ratmen... The yellow water was filled with the remains of some ratmen rising and falling in the pus, especially those that had melted but not completely melted, their outer skin peeled off, their muscle tissue melted, revealing the white bones inside, looking from a distance like evil spirits that might crawl out of the pus at any moment.

Beep beep beep... The Geller counter beeped, indicating that a small amount of radiation remained in the pus-filled lake.

"vomit..."

At the Shangqiu Comprehensive Command Center, some civilian staff could no longer bear the visual stimulation and hurriedly ran towards the toilet.

It wasn't that they lacked mental fortitude, but rather that the scene before them completely exceeded their limits of endurance. Humans... have limits, both psychologically and physiologically.

Soon, the chemical defense personnel began to process the remains of the rat people, and a dignified cremation was held for them amidst the raging flames.

Meanwhile, some artifacts from ancient civilizations in the hands of the rat-people are also collected and sent to the laboratory to be monitored at the microscopic level to see if lattice defects occur under neutron impacts.

Chapter 329 Ancient Civilization Creations

After the radiation, there was nothing but deathly silence... In the Skaven settlement, chemical defense forces roamed every corner, burning the Skaven corpses to ashes with flames.

Although the ratmen, now turned into "orange juice," could no longer cause any trouble, and even if the virus they carried was still within the realm of biology and was completely "killed" by neutron radiation, for safety reasons, their corpses were still thoroughly incinerated.

At this moment, the core area of ​​the ratmen had completely lost its external barrier and was exposed to the sergeants.

Before attacking the last area of ​​the Skaven, the drones relentlessly harassed them.

Teacup-destruct drones, spider mines, rotor-destruct drones... and other suicidal weapons launched a relentless harassment attack on the Skaven.

According to the feedback data, the number of underground ratmen is less than a thousand... For other races, less than a thousand might mean they are on the verge of extinction, but for ratmen, even if there are only 100 left, they can rely on their incredible reproductive ability to make the species great again.

However, the ratmen seemed to be frightened by the methods of these terrifying upright apes... The most powerful "fortress" contained tens of thousands of ratmen, all of whom were melted in a wave of neutron radiation, leaving the remaining ratmen to tremble in fear in the final fortress.

Soon, several white ratmen emerged from the fortress with their hands raised, followed by slave rats carrying various items as they approached the "terrifying upright ape."

"Oh ho... so you're about to give in?"

The rats' actions were recorded by the drone. Judging from their posture, they seemed to want to pay tribute, which makes sense, as survival is the primary need for all species. Since they couldn't win, they would naturally try to communicate.

Unfortunately, the terrifying upright apes had no intention of having much interaction with these "smart" mice.

The ratmen had barely gone a short distance when they were shot down by crossfire from drones, which also signaled the attitude of the terrifying upright ape: it's better for the rats to be dead.

"Nothing of value, refuse! Communicate!"

"DEA! DEA!"

The humans' attitude made the ratmen somewhat panicked... their last escape route was blocked.

Giving the underground ratmen absolutely no time to react, an hour later, the drone army launched its final attack.

Hundreds of B-1 cannon fodder marched in orderly ranks into the last stronghold of the Skaven.

Such efficient extermination is best handled by emotionless AI, at least there's no need to worry about potential psychological problems afterward, and some B-1 robots can also be recovered incidentally.

The B-1 robot, controlled by an artificial intelligence, mechanically fires at the ratmen that appear in its field of vision, regardless of whether they are armed or not...

Lock on to fire... Lock on to fire...

→?...

One ratman after another was shot down; the ratmen were no longer able to resist the final attack of the unmanned swarm of bees.

A feeling of despair permeated the rat-people population. After all, even on Earth, if viewed from an animal's perspective, humans are indeed the creatures closest to "demons".

Soon, the B-1 robot encountered the most elite soldiers of the Skaven, nearly a hundred soldiers wielding artifacts from an ancient civilization.

Each time their gravity weapons fired, they blasted the B-1 robot away, and the blasted B-1 robot fell silent...
