Stinky Xiao led the rat swarm through the sewers at a frantic pace.
Sometimes, when people were walking on the surface above, they would suddenly hear something rushing under an manhole cover like a massive number of unknown creatures.In these dark and damp environments, harmless insects were also quite common—such as red thread nematodes and gnats found in bathrooms.
Typically, such pests could be easily eliminated with some cleaning agents.However, those weren't their original forms;now even gnats the size of thumbnails had grown to the size of thumbprints, lacking any aggressive tendencies.
But the rat plague wouldn’t care about reason.Stinky Xiao was well aware that these creatures couldn't be eradicated.
Their eggs were so small they were hard to see, and would hatch in just a few days.
As long as the rat plague persisted, they would still face their end.However, where there are harmless insects, there will always be predators.
This made things more dangerous.Stinky Xiao was riding on a large rat’s back when suddenly, a red-headed centipede emerged from above, intending to bite Stinky Xiao's head.This centipede had grown to an enormous size, comparable in dimensions to Stinky Xiao.
But as it lunged down, a gray rat beside Stinky Xiao leaped up, splashing some sewage.
The gray rat was incredibly tenacious and managed to grab the centipede’s body with its teeth, tearing it into two pieces.
This scene had happened before.Las ratas del F-clase manejaron a esos cienpiés no evolucionados con poco esfuerzo.
Xiao Zhisniff asintió satisfecho mientras sacaba una botella transparente de su pequeño mochilita.
Usando sus garras, tomó una gota del líquido diluido de la Fruta Claranegra y la lanzó al ratón gris, como recompensa!This feeling was like reaching the peak of his rodent life...Li Shu was worried that Stinky Xiao might lose control over the rat swarm.
However, he didn’t know that Stinky Xiao used Nightmare every day to reprogram its subordinates’ minds.
While other functions were still in development, this skill had first taught it how to use brainwashing.Stinky Xiao wasn't trying to teach its subordinates about success or self-empowerment;instead, it was imprinting its overwhelming and dominating presence into their minds.Animals have consciousness—rats would always return to places where they found food.
Thus, Stinky Xiao succeeded.However, it knew that Li Shu was right—the rat plague couldn't have powerful individuals;esto era algo que tenía que tener en cuenta.
De hecho, esta preocupación era innecesaria, ya que las ratas bebían las gotas de Fruta desintoxicante diluidas gota a gota y, de hecho, comían todo el fruto.Stinky Xiao was about to reach B-class soon, but B-class rats likely wouldn’t appear in the rat plague for a long time.Due to the centipede and the reward behavior, the entire rat swarm stopped.
It resembled an army obeying orders, even stopping the killing of insects.However, at this moment, Stinky Xiao didn't know that the rat swarm's pause allowed many gnats and red thread nematodes to flee to the surface.
Regardless of whether they liked sunlight or not, the underground was much more terrifying—returning there meant certain death!The area above the neighborhood was suddenly filled with insects, though they weren’t harmful, their frenzied movement was quite disturbing.
