Chapter 7 Worm Outbreak
"Have the mice recently taken hormones? How dare they attack me!"

“There’s so much coming out of the sewers, how long will it take us to clean it up?”

Two white men were walking on the street with worried faces. At this moment, from time to time, there came a puffing sound from the cloth bags behind them.

He slowly opened the bag, and inside it was full of mice making sharp hissing sounds, some of them were even biting each other.

"My god! These beasts even eat their own kind!"

The two men walked into the Rodent Prevention and Health Bureau and threw two sacks of rats directly into the stove. Along with sharp hisses, a burnt smell wafted out of the fireplace.

A tall man slowly walked up to the two of them, carrying a sack on his back, and seemed to be going out to catch mice.

"Where are there the most rats?" Vasily looked at the two men calmly.

"Oh! Vasily, you can go to the reservoir in the western district and have a look! I heard that it is almost infested with rats! God, if I don't get a pay raise, I'll quit!"

Listening to the complaints of the two people behind him, Vasily walked out of the store with the sack on his back.

As an ordinary rat catcher in New York City, Vasily has always taken his work very seriously. Now that rats are rampant, it is his responsibility to clean them up!

But he didn't notice that after he walked out of the store, one of the men pulled up his trouser sleeves, revealing blood on his ankles.

"Damn rat, it bit me!"

New York's reservoir is vast and sparsely populated. As one of the few distinctive suburban locations in New York City, Vasily quickly found the underground pipes here.

Squeak!
Swarms of rats gushed out of the sewer, and even Vasily, who was always knowledgeable, looked solemn at the scene.

Could it be that some new creatures appeared in the sewers?

The experienced Vasily became suspicious instantly and immediately found the key point. Unless more dangerous creatures appeared in the sewer, these rats would not all pour out of the sewer!
Vasily slowly put on his back the mousetrap, but he did not rush to deal with the scattered mice. He decided to start from the source. Only by solving the root problem could he make these mice hide again in places where humans could not see them!

He found a nearby sewer manhole and moved the heavy iron wheel away. Vasily placed his belongings outside the manhole and then slowly climbed down the sewer stairs.

As one of the largest economic cities in the United States, New York’s sewers serve as a sewage disposal system and also as air-raid tunnels, so the space inside is extremely large!

Vasily, who was tall and strong, jumped straight into the tunnel, turned on the flashlight in his hand and shone it forward. The surrounding rock walls were pitch black, and water that emitted a foul smell was flowing slowly in the underground passage.

Fortunately, Vasily was wearing rubber shoes.

He shone the light around him and scanned the area where the light was shining. There should have been a lot of rats hiding here, but Vasily found it so quiet here that it was a little scary. He slowly walked towards the depths of the tunnel.

Before he had taken a few steps, his body suddenly stopped and his eyes were fixed on several hunched figures in the shadows. These "people" stood motionless in the darkness.

Being cautious in his heart, he did not say hello right away. This was the first time he had seen so many people in the sewer. He slowly shone the flashlight at this group of hunched-over people who were not sure what they were doing.

Pale skin, scarlet pupils, and bald heads, the completely different appearances of these people in front of him made Vasily feel a chill in his heart.

Gulu!

The sound of a wild animal swallowing echoed in the dark underground passage. Vasily shone the flashlight in front of him, staring at these strange people while slowly retreating to the back. Suddenly!

Roar!
The next moment, accompanied by violent roars, this group of pale figures with strange appearances suddenly rushed towards Vasily.

"Fuck!"

Vasily, who had no idea what was going on, threw away the flashlight instantly and rushed back the way he came. When he came to the stairs, he climbed up quickly, with one pale figure after another following closely behind him.

These people were incredibly fast, even Vasily couldn't shake them off. Seeing the stone cover of the sewer above the stairs that he had closed, Vasily's heart sank!
He clenched his teeth, and the next moment, he wanted to use his body to push the stone cover open, but the touch of his feet gave him a sudden shock.

At this critical moment, the sewer cover above suddenly opened, and the sunlight instantly shone through the sewer opening onto Vasily's face, while also reflecting the several hunched figures under him.

Roar!
It was like the roar of a wild beast, mixed with a hint of painful groaning. Under Vasily's astonished gaze, the group of monsters under him seemed to be burned by the sun, with white smoke steaming from their bodies, and rushed towards the dark tunnel.

Vasily's chest was heaving violently, his face was pale, and he was gasping for breath. Although he didn't know what these people would do, he had a hunch that if he was caught by them, the consequences would be disastrous!

Without any pause, he hurriedly climbed out of the tunnel and looked at the two people standing beside him with a little gratitude. At the same time, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Thank you!"

Vasily thanked the Asian man in front of him somewhat awkwardly, with a trace of lingering fear on his face.

"Hello, Vasily!"

Lin Jue slowly stretched out his hand with a smile in his eyes, looking at the bearded man in front of him who quickly regained his composure.

This person is none other than Vasily, one of the most powerful fighters in the main cast! Judging from their performances in the TV series, his strength may even be inferior to Guts.

With a tall stature and amazing reflexes, he performed extremely well. Whether he decisively asked his family to leave the city, or he hunted those mutated vampires alone, his rational brain and strong strength received unanimous praise from the audience!
In his previous life, he was one of the few characters who made Lin Jue feel safe when he was immersed in film and television dramas!

"How do you know my name?"

Vasily frowned and looked at the young man in front of him with a warm smile on his face with some vigilance, and his eyes quickly swept over Gus with a crew cut!

By the way, Gus's figure and temperament reminded him of those thugs who usually do nothing on the streets!
"Not only do I know you, I also know why those rats are coming out of these sewers!"

"Because of those weird people?"

Vasily had a look of doubt on his face.

"No, they are not human, they are the most terrifying creatures in this world!"

Lin Jue walked to the entrance of the sewer. Through the darkness, he seemed to see scarlet and bloodthirsty pupils staring at him.

"Blood Lord, wait for me!"

Lin Jue shouted silently into the sewer with a smile on his face.
