Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy! - Chapter 109

Chapter 109: Cleaning the Neighborhood’s Rats
“Let’s see if we can find anything inside.”

“Whoa, it’s so cold.”

Including Xiao Cao, there were another three short and big bellied men who entered.

It was hard to see what their faces looks like because half of it was covered.

There was no time for Yu Baoyin and Feng Ran to hide.

The two groups eventually meet.

Feng Ran went in front of Yu Baoyin before reaching out for his gun hidden on his belt.

Xiao Cao and the other were also stunned seeing Feng Ran and Yu Baoyin inside but when they saw there were only two of them, they grinned.

Although Yu Baoyin was covered from head to toe, these people could easily tell she was a woman.

Yu Baoyin sensed sticky eyes plastered on her body.

The men’s eyes glowed further when they saw the muddy cans beside Yu Baoyin’s feet.

“Brothers! It’s food! It’s food.” Xiao Cao looked at the scattered cans of beans and ham.

Yu Baoyin pursed her lips.

“We found it first! If you want, you can search for the next shelves there’s still cans there.” Yu Baoyin said. There are at least hundreds of cans submerged in the mud.

The men laughed at Yu Baoyin’s words.

“What do you mean by dividing? Our group found this shop and it means all the supplies here are ours!”

Yu Baoyin and Feng Ran were stunned by their degree of shamelessness.

One of the men smiled at Baoyin, “But we’re not entirely cruel, if you want to get a single can, you can accompany Big Brother for a night.”

The men laughed until they saw Yu Baoyin and Feng Ran fished out guns from their coats.

“What did you say? This Grandpa didn’t hear you!”

“What a bunch of perverted uncles! Do you want to blast your balls too?!”

The potbellied men and Xiao Cao gulped and hurriedly threw their weapons.

“Grandpa! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”

Feng Ran’s might be less skilled than Lin Weihao but his skill was enough to subdue a few thugs.

Xiao Cao and the others were beaten with bruises.

Feng Ran and the other were in the middle of disciplining people when they heard a howl.

They looked at the entrance of the shop and what they saw made them frightened.

…

Nanzhi couldn’t be capricious with grenades and guns inside the sewers because she was afraid of the methane gas causing explosion.

In the past, there was also a rat tide after the Snowstorm and the nest was hidden under the small base’s sewers in Jade City, where she had stayed for a short period of time.

A fire awakener decided to blow it up. Due to the dense methane gas accumulated for a long period of time, the small spark lead to a massive explosion.

A large part of the small base instantly collapsed.

Buildings caught fire, toppled like tofu dregs and the rats poured in endlessly killing thousands of survivors overnight.

Nanzhi had left the small base half a day before and she only received the news of its downfall after encountering survivors fleeing from it.

To prevent that risk from happening, Nanzhi and Lin Weihao used cold weapons like harpoon, crossbows, daggers, and machete instead.

Lin Weihao had reserves of army thorns and bolt crossbows in his space but the Nanzhi’s machete seems very good to pair up with his lightning ability.

It had a good length and weight. He accepted one and tried to swing it.

Nanzhi also inspected the lightweight army thorn Lin Weihao gave and paired it with her power.

The results were good, probably because of its material.

When it comes to weapons, Pearl City Base produced high quality ones.

Nanzhi thought that it might be because of the Double EXP event, she encountered no alien beasts rats all the way to the children’s playground.

But she won’t believe she had exterminated them all.

These rats are sneaky and they normally have three burrows.

The two searched for the manhole and found them near the drains.

Nanzhi took out safety helmets and rain coats and stuck the flashlights on top.

They opened the manhole cover before climbing down.

Above, the stench of rot and decay was already overwhelming and when they entered inside, it felt like something clung to back of their throats.

Nanzhi sprayed her mask and Lin Weihao’s with white flower to lessen the smell.

Then only did it become bearable.

Since Yu Baoyin and Feng Ran was still waiting for them, Nanzhi and Lin Weihao only planned to investigate shortly.

If they find the nest, then that would be good too.

A low, constant hum echoed in the tunnels, punctuated by the occasional dip of water from the ceiling.

The walls and pipes were slick with moisture with its surface smeared with streaks of grime, blood and occasional patch of mold.

The light coming from the helmets created shadows dancing alone the narrow passageway.

The two walked for roughly ten minutes before they heard tapping sounds from the pipes.

Squeak.

Nanzhi saw three pairs of red eyes glowed in the dark before black shadows attacked them.

One swing. One kill.

It was no problem for Nanzhi to deal with below Tier 1 rats after upgrading.

Lin Weihao also proved himself to be worthy of being the most powerful awakener in Nanzhi’s memory.

The machete in his hand turned into a lightning sword and claimed the lives of many rats.

The numbers didn’t fall far from Nanzhi’s kill count.

Sensing the two intruders, the rats called for their comrades to deal with the two but it proved to be a bad decision.

Despite it was the rats’ home ground, the two didn’t falter and advanced.

The two created a bloody trail made of lifeless rat bodies behind them.

Three metal attribute rats also attacked them but they didn’t last more than five second before Nanzhi blast their insides into smithereens.

The hundreds of rats were reduced to a dozen in just under twenty minutes.

Nanzhi and Lin Weihao didn’t let any rats escape, except for the last one.

Nanzhi shot a needle coated with anesthetic to the last escaping rat.

It hit the rat on its back.

Lin Weihao looked at the thread on Nanzhi hand started rolling.

When black rat didn’t sense anyone following it anymore, it stopped running and sniffed the air before changing its route and heading towards a narrow tunnel on its left.

At the end of the tunnel was the main sewer room.

It was fifteen feet in diameter with pipes and valves running alongside the wall.
