On a deserted highway at night, Lin Zichen looked at the half-human half-rat corpse on the ground, his expression filled with confusion.
Is this it?
Did he just pick up a rock and throw it, and then it died?
Are there really followers of the Rat God Cult this weak?
When he had left the flower shop, Lin Zichen had noticed someone following him.
He originally thought it was a coincidence, that he was just being paranoid.
But unexpectedly, as he was about to reach the highway, the person suddenly sped up and chased after him.
Turning around at the sound, he saw the person had eight eyes on his face and was covered in dense fur; Lin Zichen didn’t say a word and took off running.
But as he ran, he noticed that the person’s speed seemed a bit slow and couldn’t keep up at all.
So, he stopped to pick up a rock and threw it, intending to test the person’s strength.
As a result, that single throw killed him.
What kind of experience baby was this?
Lin Zichen was puzzled, but he didn’t dwell on it for too long.
He soon squatted down and extended his finger to touch the corpse on the ground.
Then, with a thought, devour!
[You have devoured a strand of life essence from the “Gigantic Mutant Rat”.]
[Gigantic Mutant Rat Compendium: 8%]
Only increased by 1%?
That’s really little!
No wonder this rat man was so trash.
Lin Zichen shook his head, took some time to clean up the scene, and quickly left the highway.
He didn’t go for a night run anymore, opting to go straight home instead.
Just going out for a jog and being targeted by a rat man was somewhat hazardous.
For safety reasons, he decided not to go for nightly runs for the time being.
After all, not every follower of the Rat God Cult was as trash as the one he encountered tonight.
Some more formidable followers of the Rat God, after mutating, had extremely powerful flesh that could even withstand firearms.
After returning home.
Lin Zichen engaged in high-intensity training at home.
He trained for several hours straight.
In between, sweet singing from the next room occasionally filtered through.
It was Shen Qinghan practicing her singing again.
It was clear that she was taking the singing competition at the end of December very seriously.
After working out, he took a bath.
Lin Zichen leaned against the wall, sitting on the bed browsing the news on his phone.
Not long into reading, he came across a news item about the Rat God Cult.
In the news, the City Security Minister stated that a series of recent kidnappings of wealthy second-generation individuals had been confirmed as the work of Rat God Cult followers.
The City Security Minister expressed great anger and shame, assuring the citizens that they would eradicate the Rat God Cult as soon as possible and restore a good public order environment in Shanhai City, or he would resign and apologize if unsuccessful.
What does the Rat God Cult want with these rich second-generation kids?
Are they asking for death?
Lin Zichen couldn’t figure it out.
But he didn’t think too much about it, noticing it was late, turned off the lights, and lay down to sleep.
Tomorrow, he was to challenge the entire school in the arena; he needed a good rest tonight.
The next day, at the crack of dawn.
Before his phone alarm went off, Lin Zichen woke up first.
He picked up his phone to check the time and saw it was still early, so he didn’t rush to get up but instead lay in bed scrolling through the news.
Just opening the news app, he was shocked by a top news story.
“Good news! Last night at three in the morning, the City Security Headquarters teamed up with professors from Evolution College at Shanhai University, and eradicated the Rat God Cult in one fell swoop!”
“The Rat God Cult was wiped out?”
Lin Zichen was shocked, his face filled with disbelief, and immediately clicked on the news to read it in detail.
The City Security Headquarters had requested the assistance of a professor from the Evolution College at Shanhai University.
The former was in charge of dealing with the Rat God Cult followers, while the latter dealt with the Rat King.
The professor was a Genetic Integrator, an Advanced-level Biological creature named Wu Tiancheng.
Wu Tiancheng?
The strongest historical figure of Shanhai High School?
Wasn’t he someone who had just graduated from high school in the last few sessions?
How did he become a mentor at Shanhai University?
Employed right after graduation?
With these questions in mind, Lin Zichen searched online and realized that Wu Tiancheng mentioned in the news was indeed the strongest person in Shanhai High School’s history.
He graduated the year before last and was supposed to stay at Kyoto University, but he was poached back to Shanhai City by Shanhai University.
He continued to browse news about the extermination of the Rat God Cult.
Soon, Lin Zichen came across a live video.
It had just been released by the city’s security headquarters.
Upon opening the video.
The scene showed a desolate forest landscape.
As the camera moved, a giant mutant rat nearly ten meters in length soon appeared on screen.
This massive giant mutant rat, self-proclaimed as the Rat King, sat on the ground like a mountain, overshadowing the sun and appearing extremely sinister.
In the video, a Birdman hovering in mid-air was confronting it.
It wasn’t long before they started fighting.
The battle was earth-shattering and the scene was incredibly intense.
However, in less than half a minute, the huge Rat King was killed by the Birdman, who was no larger than an average adult male.
The nearly ten-meter-long massive body was chopped into pieces by the feathers shot out by the Birdman.
After killing the Rat King, the Birdman retracted his wings and landed on the ground.
In less than a few seconds, all features of the Birdman rapidly vanished from his body, reverting to a well-built young man.
It was none other than Wu Tiancheng.
Capable of switching freely between human and Birdman form.
Able to shoot feathers for long-range attacks.
Is this what an advanced-level creature is?
Truly powerful…
Lin Zichen watched Wu Tiancheng in the video, filled with envy.
Shanhai City Security Headquarters.
The director’s office.
A stern-faced middle-aged man was sitting and drinking tea with a well-built young man.
The middle-aged man took a sip of tea and asked, “Tiancheng, still no contact with your teacher?”
The young man shook his head, “Still missing. Those strong individuals who went to suppress the uprising in Source Land No. 36 that year are all still unaccounted for.”
“What’s the situation in Source Land No. 36 now?”
“The situation has stabilized. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had the time to be here today to clean up the small fry that slipped in amidst the chaos back then.”
“Small fry?”
The middle-aged man laughed, set down his teacup, and said with a sigh, “Back when the Source Land No. 36 uprising happened, you were just a middle school student. It’s hard to believe that in just ten years, you’ve evolved into an advanced-level creature. The Rat King, who the entire security headquarters was powerless against, is just small fry to you. Talent really makes a difference.”
After finishing, he asked the young man, “By the way, since you’ve come out from the Origin Land this time, are you interested in giving a lecture at your old high school?”
The young man waved his hand, declining, “Forget it, I don’t have that much time. I have to go back to Source Land to commit myself. If it hadn’t been for that Rat King eating more people than he should, I wouldn’t have been dispatched here.”
Shanhai City.
Within a kilometer-deep underground cavern.
A giant mutant rat more than ten meters long was cowering in front of a four-meter-tall Three-eyed Giant.
“You started off by eating beggars and vagrants, then moved on to young, tender, and good-looking people, and later you went for those who were high above.”
“I put a lot of effort into dodging surveillance to bring you to Shanhai City so that you could expand our race and dig tunnels. Instead, you’ve been going around eating people, and your appetite has only grown.”
“Tell me, do you think you deserve to die?”
The Three-eyed Giant lifted its right leg high and stomped down on the giant mutant rat’s nose, looking down at it imperiously and asking.
The giant mutant rat immediately pleaded, “Sir, please give me another chance!”
“Opportunities, well, can be given but… you need to offer something in return,” the giant said.
No sooner had the words left its mouth than the Three-eyed Giant suddenly raised its right hand and forcefully plunged it into one of the giant mutant rat’s eyes.
A squelching sound was heard.
That was followed by the resonating screams of the rat.
The next moment, a basketball-sized eyeball was in the hand of the Three-eyed Giant.
Ignoring the screams of the giant mutant rat before him, it opened its maw wide and stuffed the eyeball into its mouth, chewing slowly with visible pleasure.
“The eyes of sewer rats still smell as foul as ever, but taste delicious.”
“I must say, you may be dull-witted usually, but you’re quite clever when it comes to valuing your own life, letting your brother take the front stage as Rat King and facing the risks, while you enjoyed yourself behind the scenes.”
“However, if you don’t start digging tunnels under Shanhai City and behave, your life will still be forfeit despite your caution,” the giant continued.
With that, the Three-eyed Giant plucked out another eyeball and popped it into its mouth, using it to calm its anger.
