Global Catastrophic Disaster: Start Building Noah's Ark

Chapter 116 The mad rat disaster is coming!

"Rats? Call up the surveillance footage immediately!" Qin Bin's heart sank, and he immediately said.

The surveillance footage was played back on the big screen.

Under the infrared night vision surveillance camera, rats appeared on the screen, and seemed to be running around frantically.

According to other objects, these rats are not small, almost the size of a five or six-year-old child!

Qin Bin has seen this kind of rat!

It was a ship drifting on the sea in his previous life, full of these huge rats, and they were gnawing on human corpses!

Qin Bin can't forget that horrible picture now!

Is the mad rat disaster coming?

"Immediately notify Xiaozhuang and Chenguang's team, let them come as soon as possible." Qin Bin said.

"Yes, master!"

Xiao Ai immediately notified the two teams to gather at Noah's Ark.

In less than 10 minutes, the two teams appeared on the deck of Noah's Ark fully armed.

Even though it was late at night, the two teams assembled at the fastest speed after hearing the emergency assembly notice, which was much faster than ordinary people!

In the cold wind, Qin Bin said to Zhuang Yan: "Zombie monsters appeared in the defense circle. You drive two infantry fighting vehicles and a Knight 15, and go to the scene with me to check!"

Hearing that a monster appeared, everyone's face suddenly became more solemn.

"Captain, what kind of zombie monster is it? Humanoid zombie?" Zhuang Yan asked.

"It's a rat!" Qin Bin said solemnly.

Unlike human zombies, rats are group animals. If a disaster breaks out at that time, there will definitely be a lot of them!

Zhuang Yan and He Chenguang immediately got off the boat to prepare the vehicle. Qin Bin got on the Knight 15 off-road vehicle, and the three vehicles drove to the outer perimeter of the defense circle.

The defense circle is 5 kilometers ahead of the base, and the monitoring system and machine gun bunkers have been set up earlier.

According to the bunker number, the location of bunker No. 105 is also in the direction of the port entrance and exit, which is the monitoring location where the big rat was found.

The convoy soon arrived next to the bunker. Qin Bin asked Zhuang Yan to walk about 300 meters outside the defense circle and turn on the strong searchlight.

"Pop!"

As the strong searchlights of the two infantry fighting vehicles were turned on, a series of rat footprints appeared on the ground, which were about the size of an adult's palm!

"Xiao Ai, are the big rats still around now?" Qin Bin asked.

"Yes, they appear occasionally, about 50 meters in front of the infantry fighting vehicle!" Xiao Ai said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhuang Yan's voice came from the intercom.

"Captain! There are big rats ahead, and there are quite a few of them! They are coming this way!" Zhuang Yan shouted.

"Shoot immediately!" Qin Bin gave the order.

As soon as the voice fell, gunshots rang out from the infantry fighting vehicle.

"Bang bang bang——!"

The dense gunshots broke the calm of the night sky. The two infantry fighting vehicles fired at the same time and stopped in just over ten seconds.

He Chenguang reported: "Captain, the big rat in front has been eliminated!"

"Bring back a big rat corpse, pay attention to protection!" Qin Bin ordered.

"Yes, Captain!"

He Chenguang's infantry fighting vehicle continued to move forward, and the team members in the car put on protective clothing, wrapped a rat corpse on the ground with rainproof cloth, and then put it into a body bag.

Then the two infantry fighting vehicles retreated.

It is late at night now, and it is not suitable to continue activities outside the defense circle. Just take a big rat corpse back for research.

Qin Bin ordered everyone to return, and the three vehicles turned around and returned to the base.

After returning to the base, Qin Bin asked Xiao Ai to give Song Qingsheng an emergency notice, and then asked someone to carry the big rat corpse onto the scientific research cruise ship.

…

At 1 a.m., Song Qingsheng walked quickly towards the laboratory with messy hair.

Just now, he was still asleep, and was suddenly awakened by the emergency notice.

When he heard that the captain was coming, he got up immediately, without even combing his hair, and rushed over in a hurry.

Song Qingsheng saw Qin Bin waiting when he entered the biological laboratory.

"Captain, I've kept you waiting for a long time! Is there anything urgent?" Song Qingsheng asked.

Qin Bin pointed to the dead rat on the ground and said, "This is a mutant creature, a big rat. I need to give it to you to study. See if they are also infected with the R virus!"

"Yes! I'll go and identify it now!" Song Qingsheng said seriously.

He Chenguang and Chang Qing moved the dead rat into the sterile laboratory.

Song Qingsheng opened the bag with a mechanical arm, drew a tube of blood from the big rat with a syringe and put it into a colorless solvent.

Shaking it with the mechanical arm, the colorless solvent instantly turned scarlet!

"It is indeed infected with the R virus!" He Chenguang said in surprise.

Song Qingsheng frowned and said, "It may not be as simple as being infected with the R virus!"

"Oh? Professor Song, what do you mean?" Qin Bin asked.

Song Qingsheng took a deep breath and said, "Because... the size of the mice has changed too much!"

"The R virus infected bodies we found before, whether they were cows or human corpses, have never grown so big!"

"It can be said that it is already more than ten times the normal size of mice!"

"This means... the R virus may have undergone obvious mutations in the mice. As long as they take in enough protein, they can grow so big!"

"R virus mutation?!" The three people present were all shocked when they heard this.

"Is it the same as the mutants that appeared in humans? The virus mutated in a certain group, leading to some aspects of evolution?" Qin Bin guessed.

"Yes!" Song Qingsheng nodded solemnly.

"Survival is the first need of any organism, and viruses are no exception. In order to survive, they may become more terrifying!"

"More aggressive, the impact of species is greater, enough to change at the genetic level, thus changing the appearance of the host!"

"For example, this time in mice, the body size has become larger, and in humans, organ functional mutations have occurred, such as the skull turning into teeth, a huge mouth growing on the top of the head, and even more changes may occur!" Song Qingsheng explained in detail.

He is a well-known scientist in the field of biology, and has made great achievements in the research of biological species and genetic mutations. His speculation casts a shadow on everyone's hearts.

"The appearance of this kind of big rat may also mean the emergence of a rat plague. They are social and omnivorous animals. As their bodies change, their demand for food will become greater!"

"Now if this happens around the base, we need to take precautions as soon as possible!" Song Qingsheng looked at Qin Bin and suggested.

Qin Bin naturally understood what he meant. The plague of crazy rats is really likely to come!

This kind of big rat is likely to gather to the base through the breath of human activities, and it is possible to cause a huge impact on the base at any time!

With their huge bodies and sharp teeth, it will be difficult to stop them once they break into the base!

The base is likely to be submerged in a rat tide!

After thinking for a moment, Qin Bin decided: "Immediately activate the base's Level 1 warning and make full preparations to deal with the possible rat disaster!"
