Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Looks a Bit Like Ye Qing
It was like suddenly being thrust into a 007 movie, some of the black-clad figures landed firmly on the ground while the others took advantage of their momentum to leap into the air, weapons in hand, aiming straight for the vital spots of the Mutated Giant Rats.
In the blizzard, the sound of sharp weapons slicing through skin and flesh resounded.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the stench grew increasingly stronger.
The wounded Giant Rats screeched “squeak squeak” in distress, desperately twisting their bodies to throw off the people on their backs, but without exception, all attempts failed.
“My God, they’re so tough!”
“These people are huge! Could they be reinforcements?”
“…”
The people around Jiang Yan murmured to each other in fearful whispers while keeping an eye on the chaos in front of them.
She looked at one of the shadows among them and spaced out for a moment.
Wrapped in a black scarf with a black sports headband tied on the forehead, the figure’s silhouette and the way they handled their blade were eerily similar to Ye Qing.
But Ye Qing was only about 1.8 meters tall, and the figures now appeared to average over 2.1 meters.
Not only were they tall, but they were also well-built. Wearing thin black Combat Uniforms in such a blizzard made them stand out even more.
The knives in their hands were also made from special materials, by the looks of it.
In just about five or six seconds, most of the Mutated Rats near the base entrance were dead or injured.
Yet more Giant Rats kept surging forward from behind and from the Snow House District.
The snow houses, which resembled burial mounds, were mostly crushed by the Giant Rats by now.
Many people who hid in the snow houses were not spared either.
Soon, the area outside Flame Base was littered with corpses.
But quickly, the bodies became meals for the Mutated Giant Rats that followed.
Wave after wave of Giant Rat attacks began to wear down the black-clad figures.
The Giant Rats sensed the change and lunged with open jaws for a bite.
Amid the sounds of breaking bones, headless corpses became a common sight.
The dozen or so black-clad figures were soon reduced to just one or two.
The guards on the ice wall appeared indifferent to the melee below, showing no sign of firing their guns.
Jiang Yan’s brows furrowed slightly.
These warriors clearly had guns, yet they let these people fight hand-to-hand, what was this about?
Moreover, the fact that the snow houses could be built and operated so well suggested that such Giant Rat attacks had probably not happened before.
Was this the first time?
Some kind of drill for the base??
Jiang Yan felt rather unlucky.
Why did all these things have to happen to her…
Just as her thoughts drifted for a second, she saw two Giant Rats breaking through the black-clad figures’ defense line and leaping through the air towards Jiang Yan and the others.
“Holy shit!”
“Ah!?”
“…”
A chorus of screams erupted from the crowd.
Originally, there were a few parked vehicles in the four-lane area at the base entrance.
There were campers, vans, and off-road vehicles.
But as soon as the base gates closed earlier on and the Mutated Giant Rats appeared, those who had cars immediately dragged their families back into the vehicles and locked all doors and windows.
Jiang Yan and the others took cover behind the camper closest to the base entrance.
The two Giant Rats climbed up onto the four lanes and began munching and biting at the people outside.
The armed guards on the ice wall still did not move.
“Brother, can you let me in to hide?!” A girl next to Jiang Yan, shaking with fear, frantically pounded on the camper’s passenger-side window.
The others began to beg pitifully as well.
The people inside the vehicles hunched over their bodies, pretending not to hear.
“Bam!” Someone raised their weapon and smashed the car windows, “If I die, you lot better not think you’ll have it any easier!”
As their words ended, a Giant Rat charged forward and, with one bite, decapitated them, then with a swipe of its paw, sent several vehicles and a crowd of people crashing into the ice wall and down into the nearby ravine.
“Thud!” The sound of heavy objects hitting the ground came from the ravine.
“Boom!” The vehicles must have exploded, sending up flames.
But the ravine was so deep, the heat from the flames only affected the nearby ice on the wall.
Unperturbed, the figure on top of the ice wall did not move.
After devouring a few people, the Giant Rat turned its gaze to Jiang Yan, who held a watermelon knife in her hand.
“Aow!”
“Aow!”
Two people hiding to the side were grabbed by a paw and thrown violently away.
“Squeak squeak!” The Giant Rat sharpened its teeth, raised its paw, and swept toward Jiang Yan.
“Whizz!”
“Whizz”
After two crisp sounds, two streams of stinking red liquid sprayed forth, and Jiang Yan’s form lightly leaped into the air, thrusting her sword through the rat’s throat.
The Giant Rat, now missing two paws and its head, collapsed with a thud.
A few survivors curled up to the side stared at Jiang Yan, speechless for a second.
The other Giant Rat, which was attacking the remaining crowd, saw this and stood up on its black fur, charging at Jiang Yan.
“Girl, watch out!” A voice from the “Gypsy” man rang out from the side, as an axe chopped directly towards the Giant Rat’s tail.
Without its tail for balance, and with the ground already slippery with ice, the Giant Rat stumbled. At that moment, Hua Bao took the opportunity to lash out with a Vine.
“Smack!”
“Bang!”
The axe split in two, and the Giant Rat’s body uncontrollably slid into the deep ditch.
Jiang Yan: “…” She hadn’t expected Hua Bao to seize the opportunity so well.
“Girl, are you okay?” The “Gypsy” man had already rushed to Jiang Yan’s side.
It seemed he hadn’t expected that merely chopping off the Giant Rat’s tail in desperation would end up sending the creature back to its maker.
“I’m fine.” Jiang Yan shook her head and wiped away the blood that had splattered on her mask, “Thanks for just now.”
“Hey, no worries.” He gave her a look, flashing a sincere smile.
Jiang Yan quickly snapped back to reality.
The fight continued on the other side.
The Mutated Giant Rats seemed inexhaustible.
And of the black-clad figures, only one remained:
The man with the black headband tied around his head.
“Number 707, dodge!”
“Everyone, find cover!”
“5 — 4 — 3 — 2 — 1, fire!”
A loud voice suddenly came from above the ice wall.
Jiang Yan’s breath caught.
She glanced at the black-clad figure, who didn’t retreat back into the base entrance but instead moved nimbly, sliding under a pickup truck in an instant.
But soon he slid across the ice to reside under another van.

As the remaining Giant Rats swarmed over, about to overturn the truck—
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” Firepower erupted from all around.
It was the heavy machine gun.
A ferocious heavy machine gun.
The bullets, like a fiery line of defense, held back the remaining Giant Rats. At that moment, the man with the black headband also emerged from beneath the van.
Amid the smoky haze, bloodied and staggering, he made his way toward the entrance of the base.
The base gates then “whooshed” open from the left and right.
A group of fully armed warriors wearing Combat Uniforms appeared behind the gate.
Jiang Yan and the others instinctively stepped back.
Two fully-equipped warriors strode forward quickly, meeting the headband man. One on each side, they supported the barely-conscious man and escorted him back into the base.
