Chapter 186 You only said it was a rat, not a zombie rat!
Yan Fei pulled hard on the metal cableway to make sure it was secure enough, and then made several metal handles specifically for the cableway.
Considering that Pea, Husky, and Big Yellow couldn't cross the cable car by themselves, a large metal basket was also made to accommodate them.
To ensure safety, Zhou Yang and Chi Feng used mutated plants to secure everyone a second time.
Even so, looking down at the hundreds of meters below, Zhou Yang and the others couldn't help but feel their hearts pounding when they actually glided across on the zipline, and their legs were a little weak when they reached the other side.
Pea and Husky almost vomited up their entire dinner after landing on all fours. It's clear these two dogs aren't carsick or zombie-sick, but they are prone to cable car sickness and have a fear of heights.
Of all the humans and beasts, only Big Yellow and the other two, who had been hiding in Pea's arms the whole time and dared not look outside, were completely unaffected and full of energy.
The group of people and two dogs stood there for a while before picking up their flashlights and looking around.
This should be an ordinary office; there's nothing there except rows of desks and office supplies, but it smells like a corpse.
However, this is perfectly normal in the apocalypse, and Zhou Yang and the others are used to it, after all, there are zombies everywhere outside.
After confirming that there was no danger, the group quietly walked towards the door.
As soon as the door was opened, the stench of death became even more pronounced, almost as if it were pickling the people inside.
Zhou Yang assumed that many people in the company were working overtime on the day of the apocalypse, which caused the building to smell so bad because there were many zombies. Therefore, he did not think of anything else and just reminded everyone to be careful of zombies.
Everyone nodded and continued on their way.
When they reached the top of the stairs, they paused and looked up for a moment. Finding that there seemed to be no movement up there, they continued down.
After descending five floors without seeing a single zombie, Zhou Yang began to find it strange.
With such a strong stench of corpses, there should be a lot of zombies, but I haven't seen a single one.
Zhou Yang raised his eyes and said, "There isn't a single zombie... Did Chi Feng and the others lure them all down there yesterday?"
“Possibly.” Shen Zechuan looked around, frowned, and then glanced at Chi Feng and the other two. “Was this building this clean when you came last night?”
Upon hearing this, Chi Feng looked around and realized that the corridor was indeed unusually clean compared to other places. Although there were occasional spots stained with blood or dust, it was generally very tidy and there was no trace of zombies. He frowned.
“We went down from below last night, directly underground, we didn’t come up, so I’m not sure.”
Yan Fei shone his flashlight down and said, "Let's take another look down."
The group continued down to the next floor. When they were almost on the third floor, Zhou Yang clearly felt something dart past his feet.
Shining a light over it, you could just see a gray rat with grayish-white eyes and a body so rotten that its bones were exposed.
"Holy crap! Zombie rats!" Zhou Yang couldn't help but exclaim.
The others also looked over at the sound and immediately spotted the zombie rat whose skin, flesh, and bones were almost completely separated.
Yan Fei was quick; with a single throwing knife, he severed the zombie rat's head from its body.
After the initial shock, Zhou Yang immediately turned to Chi Feng and asked, "Did you see any zombie rats when you came yesterday?"
Chi Feng was slightly taken aback: "Huh? Of course there are, didn't I say there are plenty? Sigh, didn't I tell you they were zombie rats?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang rolled her eyes, feeling like she just wanted to punch someone.
Damn it! You only said it was a rat, not a zombie rat!
This is fucking awful!
If it's a mutated rat, it's still troublesome, but if you kill the leader directly, the minions below will fall apart.
In addition, it will take time for a new leader to be elected, which will make it much easier for them to deal with low-level mutated rats.
Moreover, if the mutated rat knows it can't win, it will run away.
But these zombie rats are not afraid of pain or death, and they don't have brains.
Although there will be a highest-ranking leader, if the leader is killed, the zombie rats below, now without a controller, will only fight to the death with them...
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang's eyes blazed with anger as he stared at Chi Feng: "You only told us about rats! We all thought they were mutated rats!"
He spoke each word with gritted teeth.
Chi Feng rubbed his nose: "Don't be so hasty. We tried it last night. The zombie rats here are generally not high-level and have many weaknesses. They are afraid of fire, lightning, and knives. Even my mutated plants can string them together. Yuanshan's mental system can also set up a small-scale barrier for us, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
Zhou Yang sneered: "No problem at all. Why did you call us along? We didn't even object to taking a quarter of the supplies. Do you think I'm stupid?"
Chi Feng was speechless: "Ahem, it's because there are still a few high-level zombie rats inside, and we can't handle them. There's a level 4 lightning-type one and a level 4 mental-type one inside."
Yesterday, the moment the psychic zombie rats appeared, they broke through the barrier the distant mountains were using to shield us from other zombie rats, and we were discovered. Then, the lightning-type zombie rats were effective against my mutated plants, and they also controlled other trash zombie rats to attack us. The three of us couldn't kill them; instead, we were tied down.
There was supposed to be another level 4 water-type monster, but I took it down yesterday. The other level 2 and 3 minions were even easier to deal with; I didn't pay much attention to them.
“…” Zhou Yang glanced at him sideways, “What you’re doing would be considered fraud before the apocalypse. No, it still is!”
Chi Feng patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Hehe, don't say that, I really didn't mean it."
Unfortunately, Zhou Yang, who had been tricked by Chi Feng before, wasn't buying it and directly flicked the other's hand away: "We can continue to help you get supplies, but we have to raise the price. We can choose any quarter of the supplies, and those two level 4 lightning-type and level 4 mental-type crystal cores are ours."
"I've noticed you're becoming quite the black-hearted one, you're unwilling to suffer even the slightest loss!" Chi Feng said speechlessly. "Fine, fine, you can choose yourselves. All the crystal cores are yours!"
Zhou Yang nodded in satisfaction.
