Chapter 779: Rescue Failed

able of good dishes that were ready and ate heartily. In half an hour, their stomachs were full, and then they each found a place to sit down without communicating.Gong Fan stood directly behind Lian...Ripple discovered that the rats weren't coming from the front, but falling from above. With a flick of her wrist, the Death Silk enveloped her and the whirlwind, cutting all the mutated rats that tried to overwhelm her into pieces.

A sharp, "squeal" pierced through Ripple's eardrums, and then she realized the rats attacking her had diminished. They probably knew she was tough and chose to target others instead.

Ripple's eyes narrowed, it was clear this group of mutated rats had a leader. She immediately addressed Whirlwind, who stood obediently at her feet:

"Hurricane, can you find their boss"

"Meow" swirled her head, its target was originally the most powerful rat, but it was intercepted by a subordinate. It was already irritated!

"Get it! Take it down, I'll help my teammates!"

"Meow" no problem!

As the mice around them dwindled, the whirlwind suddenly darted out, leaping several times before vanishing into the slum.

The ripples turned back, and I found that someone had already succeeded in self-help. The knife in his hand danced out of a shadow, harvesting the mutated rats on his body. He didn't have time to swing his sword, so he directly grabbed a rat with his hand and smashed it hard on the ground.

Ripples waved, the deadly silk stretched infinitely, then enveloped everyone's heads like a propeller, starting to crazily harvest the mutated rats.

Fifteen minutes later, everyone had gotten rid of the mutated rats on them, but their exposed skin was covered in wounds, and even their long-sleeved combat uniforms were torn to shreds.

Yuan Chongming and his team are doing a bit better, but they're also injured. Right now, only Lian Yi is standing with all their limbs intact, everyone else is pretty battered and bruised.

Si Tu Yi spat out a mouthful of blood, and then said to Yuan Chongming:

"Yuan team, this won't work. There are too many rats. It will be difficult for our forty or so people to complete the mission. How about requesting reinforcements"

This is the most effective method he could think of.

“It's not a good idea to stay here, you guys should retreat first. I'll go find Cyclone and check this place out. It'll be easier for me to do it alone.”

The ripples spoke directly.

Several team leaders gathered at this time after checking their respective teammates. Just now, if it weren't for Ripples's weapon, they estimated that they wouldn't have escaped those mutated rats by now. Although they didn't want to admit it, if they followed them any longer, they would just be a burden.

What are your chances of getting out of this alive

Captain Lin spoke in a low voice.

"70 percent."

"I agree to let the ripples flow, but we'll be waiting for you at the speedboat. If you don't come back within an hour, we'll go looking for you."

We are all comrades, we came out together, there's no reason for Ripple to be the only one taking risks.

"Okay, I'll try my best to manage the time. You guys don't relax either. In those rats' eyes, you're all food. It's best to set up obstacles and prepare for battle."

After giving a brief instruction, Ripples tightened his helmet and nodded to his teammates before turning and running into the alley.

The remaining people, having heard Ripple's words, didn't stand idle. They quickly retreated from the shack district and chose a wide landing area. They piled up stones, bricks, and door panels to construct a defensive fortification, then nervously watched that eerie narrow alleyway.

The ripples were gone, and the deadly silk directly enveloped him. Her speed increased constantly, after running a distance, she would stop for two seconds, listening carefully, then adjust her direction and continue forward.

The sound of "meow" guided the direction of the ripples, and along the way, countless mutated mice rushed towards the ripples, almost drowning her.

But because of the dense and sharp deadly threads, the moment a rat fell, it turned into a lifeless corpse. These mutated rats came swarming from all directions, desperately trying to slow Ripple's steps.

"Meow" suddenly rose in pitch, a whirlwind of frustrated tremors lacing through its sound.

The ripples continued to accelerate, and at the deepest part of the tenement district, a whirlwind was seen in a courtyard without walls.

The whirlwind was also somewhat embarrassed at this time, as it was battling a mutated rat the size of a calf.

"How's the whirlwind"

As Ripples dove into the courtyard, he called out loudly.

"Meow!"

He was rubbing the giant rat's back with a whirlwind motion, and immediately made a sound of affirmation, showing that he was doing fine.

"You take care of the boss, I'll handle his underlings. Let's finish this quickly!"

The ripples immediately spoke.

"Meow!" Okay!

Ripples are like a human reaper, falling into the pile of mice while constantly reaping their lives.

But she wasn't randomly harvesting them. She moved while observing her surroundings, tossing some mutated rats onto tightly shut doors. The moment the doors burst open, she would check what was inside.

Ripples examined four rooms, her face growing increasingly grimmer. Because besides bones, there were only bones. The pungent stench assaulted her sense of smell.

At this moment, the whirlwind was pinned down by the giant rat and was about to bite off its head. However, the whirlwind took advantage of the situation and aimed its sharp claws at the opponent's softest belly, striking first before it could open its mouth.

"Chirp!!!"

The giant rat's ear-splitting shriek shook Ripples' eardrum, causing her to spin around. She saw the whirlwind with one claw flipping the Rat Boss, and all four claws viciously clawing at its belly.

Ripple immediately stepped forward, flinging the dagger in her hand and plunging it straight into Rat Boss's head, ending his life instantly.

The whirlwind leaped from the opponent, diving straight into the rat horde and began to wreak havoc. With every swipe of its claws, it sent a mutated rat flying.

Ripple retracted her dagger and, finding a bag, stuffed the body of Rat Boss into it and shoved it into her backpack. This, she would take back to headquarters and hand over to the research team there.

"

“Tornado, come back! We have to withdraw!”

"

The whirlwind, hearing its cat master's call, swiftly killed two more mice before scrambling onto Ripples' shoulder.

The ripples moved very fast, she took out a timed bomb from space and started throwing it towards the densest area of rats. She set a five-minute delay for the explosion, reducing the time by ten seconds each time she ran a certain distance before throwing another one.

Before she could reunite with her teammates, the bombs at the deepest part of the slum began to explode, and the ripples followed her footsteps, tearing through the entire slum.

The action group on the defensive fortifications in the open area wasn't having an easy time either. After the ripples left, the mutated rats launched an attack on them.

Until the explosion sounded, these rats seemed to have received a summons and retreated like a tide, heading straight for the center of the blast.

Yuan Chongming's eyes narrowed when he saw this. He said to the members of the Vanguard Squad:

"Let's go greet the ripples!"

"Yes!"

No one objected, and after everyone had checked their firearms and weapons, they followed Yuan Chongming into the narrow roads of the shantytown.

And Yuan Chongming followed the retreating rats. As soon as he reached a position separated from Lian Yi, Sun Weifeng saw Lian Yi running wildly with his sharp eyes.

"Yuan team, it's ripples!"

The ripples also saw them and immediately gave them a signal. The crowd stopped immediately, turned around quickly, and ran towards the landing site.school's rewards to Fuyu Village. Now everyone in the village knows that the Xing family's ancestral grave is smoking, and Ripple will definitely be able to go to college.All the villagers gathered ou...
