The Last Plant Controller

Chapter 286 Deadly Rat Infestation

"Captain, since the second zombie rat attack was successful, we have repeatedly asked the people in the logistics department to be careful, and also specially mobilized people from the garrison department to be on guard. " Wei Ping lowered his head and defended himself.

Lin Chen was stunned and said: "Since we responded promptly, why are there so many subsequent incidents of zombie rats attacking people?"

Wei Ping himself didn't know about this problem. He said depressedly: "It's a matter of life and death. Those people in the Food Department of the Logistics Department are careful enough. But no one knows where those zombie rats come from. These days Come, the people from the garrison have killed nearly a hundred of them, but some zombie rats always come out of invisible corners and infect the survivors who manage the paddy fields!"

"So, there should be a lot of zombie rats nearby?" Lin Chen thought for a while, then turned to Huang Keqin and said, "What do you think?"

Huang Keqin thought for a while and said: "I suspect that a large group of zombie rats have moved somewhere near our Changshan Lake area. In the past few days, because the zombie rats have continued to attack survivors, almost no one in the logistics department dared to go out. If this continues, it will not only affect the stability of the convoy, but also threaten the smooth growth of the rice! Therefore, I suggest that the captain launch a large-scale search and suppression campaign to completely eliminate the zombie rats that are hiding somewhere!”

"Zombie rats settled near our lake area?" Wei Ping thought for a while and couldn't help but agree with Huang Keqin's point of view.

Lin Chen's own thoughts were roughly the same. Seeing that his two subordinates had the same opinion, he immediately made a decision: "Let the plant control team withdraw and cooperate with the people in the defense department to conduct a comprehensive search! By the way, ask the people in the alliance who If you can provide clues to the zombie rat’s nest, you will be rewarded with a hundred catties of food!”

"yes!"

As Wei Ping and Huang Keqin walked out side by side, this order from Lin Chen spread quickly. Soon, people from many camps within the alliance took action. Although a hundred kilograms of food for discovering clues was nothing, the bosses of each camp mainly wanted to build a good relationship with Lin Chen, the commander-in-chief of the alliance. Just over an hour later, thousands of survivors appeared near the paddy field and began to search hard for traces left by the zombie rats!

To a certain extent, this also reflects Lin Chen's growing prestige and influence within the alliance.

"Good guy, at least two thousand people are there!"

After going to see it in person, Lin Chen couldn't help but be a little speechless. In his opinion, with so many people searching together, the zombie rats can be dug out no matter how deep they are hidden. So, he quickly returned to Anshun Island and waited for feedback. But what disappointed him was that Lin Chen had to wait for most of the day. Two thousand people turned over the nearby land with a radius of more than ten kilometers, but they did not find any holes suspected to be the lair of zombie rats!

"Is it still so hard to find?"

Lin Chen, who did not believe in evil, simply increased the reward and exchanged a hundred kilograms of grain for a supernatural seed, which was limited to one day. If no one can find it yet, the reward will be cancelled!

"Superpower seeds?"

The revised reward was undoubtedly a blockbuster, easily causing huge waves in the entire Changshan Lake area. Obtaining superpower seeds is equivalent to directly entering the palace of plant control masters. From now on, you can be like Superman and no longer fear the threat of zombies. Under such temptation, countless survivors rushed over, digging deep into the ground to find those zombie rats!

There is strength in numbers, and sometimes this sentence is very close to the truth!

Just as the reward time was about to end, shocking news came from a small lakeside camp in the alliance: their people saw many zombie rats near the Longxi River Dam!

This news made many plant controllers who were waiting impatiently breathe a sigh of relief. They jumped up one after another, scrambling to apply for a mission to kill those zombie rats. It stands to reason that the opponent is not a large group of third-level zombies, so Lin Chen does not need to take action himself, just let Qian Xu and Zhao Gang lead others as they please. However, considering that zombie rats are monsters that live in groups and the number is unknown, Lin Chen cautiously led the team to rush over!

Speaking of Longxi River Dam, it is actually not too far away from Lin Chen and the others. When the last spring flood broke out, Lin Chen, An Hai and others took people there and closed the flood gate. It seems that no one has been there since the crisis was over and the floodgates were reopened!

Are there really zombie rats in that kind of place?

With some suspicion, the members of the plant control team divided into more than ten vehicles and rushed to the dam. After everyone spread out to search in groups of three or two, they actually found several rat holes in the dam building. Compared with the common rat nests in homes before the apocalypse, these holes were eight or nine times larger, and subtle sounds inside could be faintly heard from the outside. Before Lin Chen and the others were sure, two or three zombie rats that looked extremely penetrating emerged from the hole. It was not known whether they sensed Lin Chen or the others or happened to encounter them accidentally.

"Looks like this is it!"

As he spoke, Lin Chen, with quick eyes and quick hands, raised his hand to set up the machine gun shooter that appeared out of thin air. Although the level of evolution of these zombie rats is quite high, they are still not enough to stand out in front of a machine gun shooter with a terrifying rate of fire. After a few strange squeaks, they were completely wiped out by hundreds of pea bullets!

"Captain is so powerful!"

Several newcomers who had just become plant control masters couldn't help but feel envious and admired when they saw the super power of the machine gun shooter.

At this time, perhaps alerted by the screams of the previously dead zombie rats, more zombie rats emerged from the zombie rat hole. The plant control masters surrounding here have been waiting for a long time. When they saw the zombie rats coming out, they were all ready to open fire. Although it is close to the dam and is not suitable for using powerful plants such as cherry bombs, ordinary double-shot pea shooters coupled with the torch stumps issued by Lin Chen are enough to eliminate these zombie rats!

In an instant, the corpses of forty or fifty zombie rats appeared at the entrance of the cave.

"But that's it, I thought it was so powerful!" The controlled planter smacked his lips in disdain, obviously very unhappy: "And what's dropped is a silver crystal, and its strength is comparable to that of a second-level zombie!"

"Yeah, at least there's a zombie rat king or something, and it has to condense gold crystals!"

Some plant controllers were chatting and laughing in a relaxed manner, obviously thinking that the situation was settled. Even Lin Chen didn't notice any surprise. He took a step back easily and allowed his men to take action. However, as the zombie rats continued to appear, seemingly endlessly, Lin Chen's expression became serious.

The entrance of the cave, which was not too big, was filled with a mountain of zombie rats, almost blocking the entrance of the cave. Counting the body parts kicked away by the accused planter, the corpses of more than two hundred zombie rats had appeared here unknowingly!

The other plant control masters with relaxed expressions gradually realized that something was wrong and stopped making noise.

"Why are there so many zombie rats? They all live in the main building of the dam. Could it be that the dam has been hollowed out?" Qian Xu expressed his guess, which shocked the plant controllers present. As a small artificial lake, Changshan Lake's own control capabilities are actually very limited and it relies heavily on the dam that controls the Longxi River. Once this dam hollowed out by zombie rats collapses, a crisis during the spring flood period may occur at any time!

By then, it will be impossible for them to regulate it!

Thinking of this, the original relaxed expressions on the faces of the plant control masters had long since disappeared, replaced by uneasiness and worry.

After nearly three hundred zombie rats continued to pour out, there was finally no movement inside. Before the plant control masters could breathe a sigh of relief, the plant control masters who stayed at several other cave entrances exclaimed that they also found traces of zombie rats there!

"The problem is serious!"

Lin Chen turned around twice, with a rare stain of sweat on his body. He pondered for a while and then said to Qian Xu: "Go to An Hai and ask him to send over the employee who worked at the dam last time. If possible, ask him to give the dam a physical examination and take a look. What’s going on inside?”

"good."

Qian Xu nodded and immediately went down to arrange manpower.

Perhaps the dam of Longxi River was too important. After learning about this, Anhai rushed over with people without stopping. However, the answer given by the man who had worked here was no: "First of all, I don't understand this; secondly, there is no professional equipment here. It is almost impossible to get detailed data." !”

"Can't you?" Lin Chen was inevitably a little disappointed.

The man was under a lot of pressure when he was being stared at by so many pairs of eyes. After thinking for a long time, he changed his mind: "However, if we adopt some unsophisticated methods, we can roughly estimate the condition of the dam. Of course, the error may be very large, and the results obtained are for reference only!"

"It doesn't matter, just go ahead and do it!"

Lin Chen was not demanding, but comforted and encouraged him so that the man could go into battle lightly and not be affected too much.

After such a thing happened, many plant control masters were a little listless. After leaving ten people here to take charge of protection, the remaining people returned to Anshun Island to wait for news. After waiting for two days, Lin Chen, who was very restless, finally got the news of the man's return.

"How about it?"

Lin Chen found him immediately and wanted to ask him clearly.

The man looked gloomy, but he still forced a tired smile and said: "It's very bad. The inside of the dam is estimated to be at least one-third hollowed out, and some of it is still in the key parts of the load. If there are no zombie rats, we can continue Erosion, the current water pressure may just maintain a balance. If a crisis similar to the previous spring flood occurs again, or if we have several heavy rains in a row, it will probably..."

Although he didn't say it clearly, Lin Chen knew without thinking that the entire dam must have collapsed! By then, Anshun Island, which is less than one meter above the lake, will be really dangerous. To put it bluntly, the entire Changshan Lake area may be under threat!

These damn zombie rats really know how to find places! (If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (qidian.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
