Seeing the endless number of mutant rats, Ark began to suspect.
Not only was he suspicious, but he also started to have strong guesses. Thinking of various reasons, causes and effects .. Ark's expression turned bad.
'This ... is my fault?'
The question immediately came to Ark's mind.
Come to think of it, the reason was actually the massive slaughter of zombies in the surrounding area.
It is true, eliminating zombies makes zombies reduced and future enemies in the form of special zombies or evolved zombies are reduced. But on the contrary, killing zombies and disposing of their corpses obviously had another impact, which was to feed the mice.
Yep! Mutant rats have excellent adaptability. They can eat almost anything. What's more, the more you eat, the more energy you have to keep reproducing. Which means ...
The number of rats instantly increased a lot at the beginning. More than in Ark's previous life!
'Tsk! So this is the reason why I felt strange after killing so many zombies before.
This is considered a big loss! Eliminate a bit of zombies to exchange for mutant rats for a large sum! Really sloppy!'
Ark was depressed. The prevention he was trying to do actually had another impact. Even if it's not deadly, but it's still very troublesome. Not at all beneficial to him.
At that moment, Natasha's cry sounded.
"Stacy's got a bite!!!"
Hearing that, Ark's expression instantly turned grim. Killing a few mice, he immediately approached Stacy and Natasha. Without the slightest bit of hesitation, he instantly took out a dagger and then ruthlessly cut the bite-scarred wound.
Ark instantly squeezed blood out of Stacy's hand, making the girl tremble as it gritted its teeth while enduring the pain.
Ark then tore his own clothes and wrapped around Stacy's wound. Not yet relieved, the smell of human blood instantly made the mutant mice turn their gaze toward Stacy.
Seeing the mutant rats running towards him and Stacy, Ark stood up. He dropped the spear and then pulled two katanas. Taking a deep breath, his expression gradually became calmer than usual.
Seeing the rats rushing in from all directions, the katana in Ark's hands danced. Yes ... compared to rough movements. The smooth and flowing Ark movement is even like a dance. However ...
Swooshes! Swooshes! Swooshes!
Each of those soft-looking swings carried an incredible amount of physical strength. Directly dismembering the rats with his technique .. without the need for special abilities to fight. Keep attacking and defending calmly while protecting Stacy.
Looking towards the other members who were starting to bother, Ark immediately said to Jay.
"No longer need to hold back ... Jay." Jay."
Hearing Ark's words, the corner of Jay's lips lifted. Smirking in satisfaction, the man said.
"INTELLIGIBLE ..."
A thin mist appeared surrounding Jay's figure. His body became slightly taller, his muscles were also more prominent. A terrifying aura emerged from the figure of the man.
Strength, speed, and defense were doubled.
Sensing the difference, Jay immediately roared. He then directly rushed towards the mutant rats. One swing of the sword instantly cut several rats to death.
Compared to a normal human attack that required multiple attacks to pierce through the body of a rat and kill it, Jay could instantly kill a mouse with ease.
Using pure power!
Jay's change clearly surprised the other three members. Under normal circumstances, they have been amazed and impressed by the power of Ark and Jay.
Not to mention when Jay was in his current condition. This obviously made the three of them afraid!
Obviously, since Jay's change, the fight that was originally a draw has been one-sided. Yes ... The group that Ark led easily started to suppress and finish off the rats.
When the sun came up, the fight was finally over. Except for the two or three mice that had escaped, all the rats had been wiped out.
"Check every corner of the house. Make sure no rats are left!"
"Good!" answer them simultaneously.
Except for Stacy who could no longer move because she was so tired and weak, everyone started to inspect the house. Even Jay was still exhausted after using his abilities.
An hour later, they regrouped.
"Some plants in the backyard are damaged. Some Devil's Vines are dead and need to be replaced. There are many things that need to be repaired. Other than that ..."
Ark looked towards the pale Stacy. Natasha sat beside him with a complicated expression.
"You shouldn't have helped me."
Natasha said in a complicated tone. His relationship with Stacy could not be considered close. They often ridicule each other for differences of opinion. Stacy is obviously very supportive of Ark, while Natasha is sometimes dissatisfied with Ark's ruthless decisions.
"I think you'd be sad if you were bitten to death. Besides, I'm still fine."
Stacy said with a smile on her face that was as pale as paper.
"You—"
"I'm doing fine. Besides, sir will definitely help me."
Stacy's gentle and confident speech made the doubts in Ark's heart disappear.
Yep. Previously, he had never given "Diseasing Liquor" to a member other than Jay. He wanted to hold back those below him strong enough after eating the zombie flesh, but not strong enough to evolve. Because they could be against him.
However, after seeing what Stacy did, Ark felt that his thinking was a bit wrong. So now, she decided to choose Stacy because the girl had passed the test.
"You've done a great job, Stacy. Take it easy, you'll be fine. I promise."
Yep. Ark promises to cure Stacy. He plans to give Stacy "Anasty Water. Unlike him and Jay who drank it twice a day, but would drink it once a day so that the evolutionary process would be delayed for ten days. Not five days.
Meanwhile, Ark had also written another important plan in his mind. A plan that seems to have to be put forward immediately.
Ark then carried Stacy like a princess and walked into the house.
"I'll take care of Stacy. After an hour of rest, you get rid of all the rat carcasses. Grave outside the wall, under the Devil's Vines."
"Hey?! Isn't that overkill? You guys rest while we—"
"I'm sure you can't take care of Stacy, Jay. Because I'm the only one who's used to it, I'm the one who does it. Besides .... What are you protesting for?
After treating Stacy and resting for a while, I'll help you take care of the rat carcass. So I also didn't just shut up while watching you guys get tired."
After saying that, Ark took Stacy away without waiting for an answer. It really made the three people speechless.
***
Her afternoon.
After a hard struggle, Ark and his friends finally finished burying all the dead mice. Even Ark had already planted new Devil's Vines, replacing the dead ones.
Of course, not only Ark, but Abigail also helped. While Nathan and Nala keep Stacy from going to force themselves to help, Abigail helps Ark and the other members to remove the rat carcass. That way, the work can be done faster.
So, almost all the problems have been solved.
Why nearly? Because not all work has been completed.
They just move and bury the rat carcasses. They still needed to repair the peok gate, clean up the remaining blood around the headquarters, and also replant some damaged plants in the backyard.
"Ughh! These shitty rats are really getting us in trouble!"
Hearing Jay's complaint, Ark shrugged with a flat expression.
"At least there are no victims."
Hearing Ark's words, everyone was stunned. It is true, they are grateful that there were no casualties. But still ...
The rats that ruined their work are still so annoying!
Not to mention, no part of the mice was quite beneficial to them. What they do can be considered a loss of time and effort.
Really doing forced labor!
