The Doctor In the Steampunk World

Chapter 168: rat tide

Above the night sky, the mechanical airships moved in the direction of the flares, and the thick lampposts were focused in one place.

All the troops in the outer city marched towards the lights.

The experimental mouse was an experimental product of the Ability God Cell. A few months ago, the Green Sun Education designed to break through the Mechanical Academy, and the white mouse also escaped during the experiment.

After this rat infestation, the city hall discovered the abnormal situation of the mutant mice. After the research, it was natural to know that the mutant mice had Ability God cells, and also knew that the reason why the mice mutated was because of the Ability God cells.

The Ability God Cell was taken away and has not been recovered so far. The Green Sun Church has hidden it very deep, and it is basically impossible to recover it depending on the situation.

In order to continue studying Ability God cells, the lost mouse became the key.

This time, not only the two knight departments of the Ninth Bureau and the Security Bureau joined forces, but the inner city's guard force and even the Iron Feather Army were also mobilized. City Hall is determined to catch the guinea pig.

The location of the signal flare was in the lower city. Steel chariots drove through the narrow roads and knocked down the iron houses. Hundreds of innocent civilians fled the collapsed houses in panic, facing the steel war. The mouth of the car spit fragrance.

The steel chariot spewed out large swathes of high-temperature steam, all the way to dust, and ignored it.

It's unfortunate for these civilians when their houses collapse.

Some sections of the road could not be done. The police and knights got out of the car and rushed to the scene of the incident at the fastest speed.

A desolate place in the lower city, overgrown with weeds half the height of a human, and among them are dilapidated factories.

This is an illegal factory area in the lower city, where all kinds of goods are produced. There are even small workshops that illegally manufacture firearms and ammunition.

On weekdays, these factories are brightly lit, and machinery can be heard from day to night.

However, due to the rodent infestation in recent days, a large number of mutant mice have frequently appeared in these factories. Many workers in the factories have been bitten to death, and the workers are afraid to go to work.

The owners of these factories are local gangsters. When the rat infestation occurred, they organized several rodent eradication operations. The first time was a good success, killing a lot of rats.

However, during the second eradication of rats, the rats swarmed, and hundreds of mutated rats caused great casualties to the gang. Two gang leaders were eaten by rats on the spot, and forty to fifty people died.

After three or four failed rodent eradications, no one dared to come to work in the factory, and the factory area became the territory of rats.

The location of the flare mark is this factory area.

A series of thick lampposts illuminated the factory area. Inside the factory, there were densely packed fat mice lying on the windows and gates. Every eye was glowing red, screaming, looking irritable and restless

There are thousands of big rats in a factory, and their cries together are like a magic sound.

Not only that, these irritable voices caused the rats in other factories to become restless, and the whole factory area was noisy, as if the devil was roaring, making the scalp tingle.

One after another, steel chariots approached the factory area and ran through the weeds. Countless mice were frightened out and ran all over the ground.

When Augustine arrived at the factory area, the battle had already broken out. Howitzers bombarded the factory area one by one. The factory was blasted open, and the flames rolled in the factory, killing and burning many mice.

After being covered by artillery fire, more than half of the factory area was collapsed, gunpowder and flames were burning recklessly, ashes swayed in the wind, and a scorched smell filled the air.

One after another chariots advanced to the factory area to check the situation.

The steel chariot rolled over the ruins, and underneath the ruins were the corpses of rats that had been burned to death, and some mice were not dead. They attacked the steel chariot angrily, and were shot by the police and knights in the car.

The collapsed ruins made it difficult for the chariot to move, so they had to step down from the chariot and start a cautious search of the ruined factory.

A team found a smashed hole inside a factory, a knight threw a flare and went down, the fire flashed in the hole, and a shadow flashed in the depths of the hole, something was squirming in the darkness, down. In an instant they emerged from the shadows.

It was a black wave, and the pair of red eyes were particularly eye-catching... It was a dense group of rats.

They swarmed and surrounded the knights, the knights fired in horror, the shotguns sprayed terrifying fire, and a large number of bullets shot down dozens of mice. But more rats rushed up, showing sharp teeth and claws, repeatedly gnawing and biting on the knight's body, he howled in pain, and opened fire frantically, but he couldn't do anything.

Struggling hard, but the mice kept jumping up, their teeth biting him fiercely, and under the constant superposition, he couldn't stand any longer, and finally curled up on the ground, covered with devoured mice.

There was blood flowing out of the densely packed mice, and from the exposed gap, one could even see the bitten flesh and bones~lightnovelpub.net~ The screams began to weaken and turned calm, and only the densely packed mice remained. sound of eating.

Seeing that the other mice had lost their share, they rushed to the other knights.

"Fire, fire." The knights were so frightened that their faces were pale, and the gushing bullets couldn't stop this group of rats that had gone mad. They couldn't even escape and were drowned by the rats.

In less than tens of seconds, the group of mice dispersed, leaving behind a pile of white bones on the ground. The flesh and blood were eaten cleanly, and even the dead mice were eaten by the same kind.

The mouse that ate human flesh became excited, and those small red eyes flashed with hunger and thirst. The mice that didn't eat human flesh became even more mad and desperately wanted to eat human flesh.

Not only here, but also huge swarms of rats emerged from other factories, and troops from all walks of life were attacked. The police force suffered the most casualties,

The Ninth Bureau, the Security Bureau and the Iron Feather Army responded the most quickly. They assembled in an instant and formed a steel-like line of defense with the steel chariot as a wall.

Sophisticated weapons pointed at the rushing Junkrat swarm.

"Fire!" With an order, the guns fired in unison, and the flying bullets shot at the black tide-like group of mice. After a wave was subdued, another wave was surging, which could not be contained.

The trajectory of the stream of fire slid through the air, it was an unseen oval cannonball with flames burning on it.

The powerful kinetic energy penetrated the rat tide, and all the mice that were hit were burned to counterattack, leaving a clear fire mark in the dark rat tide. The area within meters was covered in flames, and all rats were burned to charcoal.

Great lethality.

Dozens of such astonishing stray artillery shells contained the rat tide.
