Chapter 244: Finally, the mutated giant rat was trapped
The Giant Mutant Rat was thrilled.
It caught the scent of that damned human's blood and immediately pounced toward him.
"Perfect~" Yu Yuan thought to himself with delight, but he didn't leave right away.
Only when the Giant Mutant Rat was about to land did he use [Shadow Stride] to appear at the spot where Tie Xiong's pulpy remains were.
He gathered up everything that had fallen on the ground.
The moment the Giant Mutant Rat landed, its gaze locked onto Yu Yuan again.
Sensing Yu Yuan was trying to escape.
It was now determined to fight to the death.
Yu Yuan felt pressure completely different from before.
The Giant Mutant Rat's all-out combat power made him dare not walk the tightrope like he had earlier.Yet he understood that after such a long period of setup.
The moment to lure the Giant Mutant Rat was finally ripe.
After those few seconds of buffer, the throbbing pain constantly surging in his mind from the rat's shriek also quickly dissipated.
It was the mental trauma recovery from his title taking effect.
Using [Shadow Stride] again to reach the area near the big black dog and the now motionless Thorny Vine, he stored them in the Rabbit Ring.
Yu Yuan didn't dawdle any longer. He summoned Mie Mie, leaped onto its back, and galloped toward the direction of the shelter.
When the Giant Mutant Rat saw Mie Mie, it seemed to recall the unpleasant experience from before, letting out another strange shriek as it gave chase closely.
*Thud thud thud—*
Listening to the sound of the Giant Mutant Rat crashing against the walls as it ran behind him, Yu Yuan patted Mie Mie lightly.
"Mie Mie, full speed! This guy's gone crazy!"
Mie Mie didn't speak, just increased its running speed a notch.
It had to be said, the Giant Mutant Rat truly lived up to being a natural sewer creature. Its speed inside the sewer was simply insane.
Even with Mie Mie running at full speed, it could only barely prevent the Giant Mutant Rat from closing in. Trying to widen the distance was out of the question.
Yu Yuan looked at the distance between himself and the shelter on the virtual map before his eyes.
When he was still 100 meters from the shelter, Yu Yuan could already see the ladder of the civil defense shelter level. The Giant Mutant Rat was now less than twenty meters behind him.
"It all comes down to this!"
Immediately after, Yu Yuan directly equipped Mie Mie onto himself, used [Shadow Stride] to jump to the ladder's location, and quickly scrambled into the civil defense shelter level.
The Giant Mutant Rat saw all of this clearly.
Its single eye flashed with excitement and agitation.
—Squeak squeak, finally found this guy's lair! Squeak squeak, today I must tear him to pieces... and that damnable stinking sheep too.
The Giant Mutant Rat had never wanted to tear a person apart as much as it did now.
It reached the opening, swung its sharp claws, continuously enlarging the hole until the entire refuge passage behind it was exposed.
However, its long-ingrained caution still kept the Giant Mutant Rat from directly crawling into this passage. Instead, it poked its head in to peer deep into the passage. Right at that moment, two Flashbangs were thrown by Yu Yuan beside the Giant Mutant Rat.
*BOOM BOOM—*
The intense flash and deafening blast multiplied infinitely in the confined environment. Even the Giant Mutant Rat felt its head spinning a bit.
Squeak squeak—
The Giant Mutant Rat opened its single eye, looked at the empty refuge passage, and caught a glimpse of that detestable human flashing past at the far end of the passage. It hesitated no longer.
Its entire body squeezed into the passage and burrowed inward.
*BOOM—*
The sounds of Grenade explosions rang out one after another inside the passage.
But the Giant Mutant Rat paid no heed to these attacks. The shockwaves and shrapnel from the explosions felt like mere tickles to it.
Instead, it further proved that the hateful man had run out of tricks.
He was making his final, desperate struggle.
Yes, that must be it.
Because during this period, the humans it had killed were just like that. At the very last moment before death, they would use every means at their disposal.
Thinking of this, the Giant Mutant Rat grew even more excited, chasing faster and faster.
Soon, after rounding a corner, it saw that detestable human.
He had actually fallen.
Squeak squeak—
The Giant Mutant Rat let out an excited cry.
This scene was all too familiar to it.
During its hunts lately, when humans saw it, they would often be like this.
This only made it enjoy the thrill of the hunt even more.
Now it was finally this damned human's turn.
The Giant Mutant Rat quickly scanned the entire passage. No abnormalities. Then why hesitate?
It propelled itself with all four claws, leaping into the air to pounce on that human.
It even saw the look of terror on the other's face as he looked back.
Squeak squeak—
The Giant Mutant Rat let out a cry heralding its impending revenge.
But.......
Yu Yuan watched the Giant Mutant Rat flying toward him. His face showed terror, but his mind was already fully focused.
"10 meters.... 8 meters..... 5 meters..... Now...."
The next moment, Yu Yuan had vanished from his spot again, appearing ten meters away.
The Giant Mutant Rat had anticipated this. It was all too familiar with how troublesome this hateful human was.
But all this was futile.
Just as the Giant Mutant Rat landed, preparing to push off and pounce forward again.
The originally solid ground beneath its feet suddenly gave way, falling downward.
But the Giant Mutant Rat's reaction was also remarkably agile. Relying on the momentum from that brief landing moment, and with its tail rapidly whipping against the wall, its body actually became airborne again, lunging toward Yu Yuan's position.
It seemed about to escape the range of the Pit Trap.
A row of meter-long spikes shot out from the top of the passage, stabbing viciously into the Giant Mutant Rat's body.
Although these Spike Traps weren't enough to pierce the Giant Mutant Rat's thick fur.
They still effectively interrupted its leap, forcefully shoving it toward the Pit Trap.
Even so, the Giant Mutant Rat kept struggling, its rat tail constantly lashing the wall behind it, trying to gain leverage.
Unfortunately, the greater part of its body still fell into the pit, with only its head and front claws barely gripping the pit's edge.
Squeak squeak—
The Giant Mutant Rat shrieked angrily, ready to climb out of the pit.
But a familiar voice reached its ears.
"Mie Mie! Ram it to death!"
How familiar the words. How familiar the tone.
The Giant Mutant Rat looked up incredulously toward the passage ahead and saw a sheep with white fur tinged with gold, head lowered, already charging toward it at full speed, hooves pounding.
What a familiar scene.
The outcome held no surprises.
Mie Mie's massive coiled horns collided with the Giant Mutant Rat's large front teeth, sparks flying.
Amidst chaotic "squeak squeak" shrieks, the Giant Mutant Rat, already without leverage, was sent flying two meters and landed completely inside the Pit Trap.
The moment the Giant Mutant Rat hit the bottom, the floor and walls of the Pit Trap all shot out one-meter-long spikes, blocking off more than half of the original three-meter exit. With the Giant Mutant Rat's current size, escaping was simply not something that could be done in a short time.
Some of the dense spikes pierced into the wound on the Giant Mutant Rat's shoulder. High-voltage current instantly surged through this wound, administering electrotherapy.
The Flamethrowers, already primed within the pit walls at the front and rear, then spewed two jets of flame reaching temperatures as high as 1200 degrees Celsius, engulfing the Giant Mutant Rat.
"Mie Mie, come back!"
Yu Yuan equipped Mie Mie onto himself to prevent the rising flames from setting Mie Mie's fur on fire.
Inside the passage, foul-smelling black smoke billowed up, accompanied by the Giant Mutant Rat's continuous, agonized screams.
Squeak squeak—
Thanks to Yu Yuan's design.
At this moment, the Giant Mutant Rat had finally become a turtle in a jar within the Pit Trap.
