Wasteland Survival Code

Chapter 242 Rat King
Qi Lin swung the bone blade again, cutting three or four bloodthirsty rats that rushed up together in half, then moved his feet, and began to kill groups of bloodthirsty rats, while moving towards the place where the creaking sound came from the darkness. advance.

After realizing the direction of Qi Lin's movement, there was a hint of fear in the creaking sound—yes, it was fear. The change sent Qi Lin a very clear signal: the rat king who commanded the rat swarm was scared.

Stimulated by the squeaks and the smell of blood, the swarm of rats, which had been rushing forward, became even crazier. Their blood-red eyes turned into countless flying red streamers in the darkness, which made Qi Lin feel more pressure suddenly. Not a lot.

But thanks to the support of [Radiation Battery] and [Extreme Recovery], his physical fitness is not a problem—for a third-level evolutionary who does not have a wide range of attack methods, I am afraid that he will be consumed by so many bloodthirsty rats. .

At this time, Cooper's voice rang in Qi Lin's ear again: "Master, the audio analysis of the Mouse King has been completed. According to the computer analysis, the Mouse King is not a single individual."

"Isn't it a single individual? Are there many mouse kings?" Qi Lin asked curiously while waving the bone blade.

The bloodthirsty rat is only one of the lowest-level mammalian mutant creatures in the wasteland, so even the BOSS-level rat king is at most an F-level mutant creature. It wasn't a big trouble, but he couldn't help but be a little surprised by the coexistence of multiple mouse kings.

Bloodthirsty rats are very common in the wasteland, but generally there are rarely more than a thousand of them like this—no, judging from the bloodthirsty rats pouring in from various sewers, I am afraid that this group of rats , the scale is already over ten thousand.

In a general small-scale rat group, the rat king of the boss will not evolve at all. At best, the leader is only the male bloodthirsty rat with the strongest physique and the strongest reproductive ability in the rat group. Therefore, although bloodthirsty rats are very common, However, the players rarely obtained information about the Mouse King.

However, according to the habits of social animals, there will never be more than one "leader", because only by becoming the leader of the population can you have the highest priority in mating rights and food control rights - and this kind of Power, of course, does not exist in the situation of sharing.

For tens of thousands of years, the only creature that broke this rule was human beings.

But even so, in the hearts of many people, there are still dictatorial ambitions lurking, which are just the instinctive desires of creatures, and it is precisely because of the existence of this desire that more outstanding genes can stand out and be rewarded. inherited.

"Several rat kings jointly lead the rat group. Why do I think it sounds ridiculous? Did they also form a parliament or a cabinet?"

"No, according to the analysis results, it's not just a few, but at least eleven individual voices commanding the group of rats were identified. It is conservatively estimated that the number of rat kings should be around thirteen to sixteen, or more."

"...So many?" Qi Lin was stunned, "Is this a kingdom of mice? I just don't know if they are a republic or a constitutional monarchy."

"Master, if you want to know, you can capture the Rat King alive and send it to Base 404. There is a top-notch biological laboratory before the war in the base. Maybe it can give you a satisfactory answer." Cooper said lightly.

"...Forget it, I was joking."

Cooper returned to a state of silence, and Qi Lin didn't think about it anymore. He kept his head down and approached the place where the Mouse King was while killing those bloodthirsty rats that had completely gone mad.

Although ordinary bloodthirsty rats have a higher IQ than Assassin spiders, their brains are too small. Although they also know fear and dread, they are stimulated by a large number of bloody smells of the same kind, and the rat king seems to have magical powers. In the ordinary "squeaks", these bloodthirsty rats have completely fallen into a state of madness. Driven by instinct, the tide is rushing like Qi Lin.

After more than ten minutes of killing, Qi Lin didn't know how many bloodthirsty rats died under his own bone blade. It might be five thousand, six thousand, or more. This road can be described as "blood road".

Yes, this is a literal bloody road, every inch of the ground is covered with the broken corpses of bloodthirsty rats, even Qi Lin's cloak and jacket are stained with a thick layer of blood.

In addition to the smell of blood, there is also a strong stench. The internal organs of the bloodthirsty rats, the undigested food, the feces in the intestines, and the plasma minced meat are mixed together. If there really is a purgatory, Qi Lin thinks it might be That is the scene.

It was already very close to the mouse king, and Qi Lin was puzzled that although the mouse king's commands were full of fear, Qi Lin kept killing and approaching it—er, it was them , the mouse king's position seems to have never changed.

Why... don't you run?

However, when Qi Lin saw the "Rat King" with his own eyes, his doubts were resolved.

The so-called "Rat King" was in the middle of a large swarm of rats that turned like a vortex in a torrent. There were sixteen fat rats that were as big as a large dog. But to Qi Lin's surprise, the sixteen The long tails of the "Rat King" are all intertwined, and it is not simply intertwined. If you look carefully, their tails seem to have grown together completely, completely indistinguishable from each other.

"What the hell is this..."

Qi Lin waved the bone blade with one hand in his right hand, took the opportunity to raise his left wrist, and aimed his brain at the "Rat King" in the distance.

"[Rat King], F-level mutant creature, BOSS, the leader of the large-scale bloodthirsty rats, due to unknown reasons, many leader-level bloodthirsty rats formed a wonderful symbiosis, this phenomenon was found in the old natural world There are also occasional discoveries, which are mostly considered to be ominous omens or the source of plagues.

The Rat King has low mobility, no means of attack, and weak defense. He can only rely on the rats for feeding and protection. However, he can emit a special pheromone, which makes the entire rat group fall into an extremely manic state. "

After reading the introduction, Qi Lin felt that, apart from not having the ability to lay eggs, the attributes of the Mouse King were actually very close to those of the Assassin Spider Mother. Ability and strength are clearly far behind.

"It's much easier to handle if the defense is not high!"

Qi Lin swung the bone blade horizontally, knocking away a dozen bloodthirsty rats that were rushing towards him, and then went straight to the sixteen "rat kings"——
