Chapter 60: Rat Extermination Prologue
The time waiting for news in the hotel was long.

But if there is a big cat that you can pet at any time, and the extraordinary power of becoming more familiar and improving slowly all the time, those few days will pass in a flash.

Two days later, accompanied by the rustling sound of crawling on the ceiling, Gray Hair's familiar head popped out of the vent.

"Lord Giant, the king asked me to tell you that the location of the foreign rats has been found." The gray-haired rat jumped down from the ceiling and landed on the ground.

In America, these rats that have been fighting against humans for hundreds of years have evolved very quickly. Given their physique, they generally will not die even if they jump directly from a four- or five-story building, so they will naturally be unscathed from a mere one-story building.

The mouse rolled to the ground and landed easily thanks to the cushioning of its thick fur.

"I'll lead the way for you."

Penny couldn't understand rat language, but Luke had told her everything about the plan in the past few days, and she knew that this was the moment of the final battle. The dual hopes of advancement and revenge made her instantly excited. She meowed and jumped into Luke's arms, nudging him with her head.

"Go, go, go kill the rats!"

After spending these two days and nights together in the hotel, the two quickly became familiar with each other, just like a real cat owner and his cat master.

Luke scratched the big cat's chin, making her purr comfortably, then found a cardboard box and put Grayfur in it.

Rat in the sewer did not have the privilege of being held in Luke's arms.

After walking out of the hotel, Huimao jumped out of the cardboard box, landed on the ground, and honestly did his job as a guide.

The hotel where Luke stayed was in the bustling city center, while the foreign rats had occupied the garbage-strewn downtown area, so the distance was quite far.

Luke simply put all his weapons and props on the mammoth, and drove with Gray Hair and Penny.

The only inconvenience was that the car was going a bit fast. Even though Luke was trying his best to slow down, he still needed to stop after a while and let Gray Hair down so that it could re-identify the direction.

They kept going and stopping like this for half an hour, and as soon as Huimao got off the car, he made an excited "squeak".

"That's it! Those wild rats are camped in that desolate mountain."

The desolate mountain is what rats call uninhabited ghost buildings, unfinished buildings and other buildings.

The unfinished building was not far away. Luke stopped the car, took out his full set of weapons, took Cat and Rat with him, and prepared to walk there.

After walking a few hundred meters forward, traces of rats began to appear under my feet. Just like when I first encountered Huimao, the rats were in groups of three or five, or in teams of dozens, running hurriedly towards the unfinished building.

"This is the rat tribe from various regions summoned by King Yi Er. Those who are too far away have not been notified in time, so those who are nearby have obeyed the king's orders to come and encircle and suppress the foreign rats. The nearest rat tribe has already been deployed to the battlefield under the king's command, and other rat tribes are still providing support."

Wow, this ear has a strong control over the city rats. It feels like the ancient feudal society where one order was given and people from all over the place came to support the king.

Luke is carrying an expanded flamethrower on his back, ready to have a good burn today.

As the distance gradually shortened, there were more and more rats on the ground, and the entire ground was covered with rats, leaving no place to stand.

Even though it is the natural enemy of mice, when the big cat saw so many mice, it hunched its body in Luke's arms, and looked tense as if it was ready to jump up and climb over the wall to escape at any time.

Noticing the big cat's nervousness, Luke chuckled and ran a hand slowly back and forth along the smooth fur of its back, starting from the top of its head.

The frightened Penny thought of the "fire dragon" controlled by Luke, which had a devastating power for the mice, and she relaxed a little. In order not to hurt the "friendly army" by mistake, and not to stain his shoes with a bunch of inexplicable blood and internal organs, Luke shouted loudly in mouse language, "Move aside, buddy, move aside, you're blocking my feet", while letting Gray Hair clear the way.

Although the rats were numerous and powerful, their natural awe of the giant and the thunder-like words from the giant's mouth made the rats obediently make way for him.

A few minutes later, Luke had reached the edge of the battlefield and took temporary shelter behind a broken wall.

There are only local rats around here, so there is no need to worry about scaring the foreign rats.

Downstairs of the unfinished building, thousands of rats were mingling together, biting each other madly, but the rat king that One Ear and Penny were thinking about was nowhere to be seen.

There were no humans nearby, and even if there were, they were scared away by the tide of rats, so Luke's sudden appearance was very conspicuous.

A moment later, an ear appeared next to Luke.

Luke squatted down and asked, "Where is the leader of those rats?"

One ear pointed at the unfinished building in front with its tiny front paw: "It's in that building. I will lead the guards to charge now. It is waiting for me and will definitely come out."

Luke nodded, lowered Penny to the ground, and grabbed the flamethrower.

"Go ahead," he pointed to the wall in front of him, "I'll wait behind here. You lead the enemy over here. Once you pass this wall, I'll attack from behind."

After that, he specifically asked, "It will accidentally hurt some of your rat tribe subordinates, is that okay?"

Even for humans, one general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers, let alone among a group of mice who have no civilization and can give birth to more than a dozen children in a litter.

Yi Er replied nonchalantly: "As long as we can eliminate these foreign rats, everything else won't be a problem."

The Rat King doesn't care about the lives of these ordinary mice, so Luke cares even less.

Under the protection of more than a hundred strong rats whose bodies were no less powerful than those of wild rats, One Ear launched a charge towards the unfinished building.

They already had an absolute numerical advantage, and with the impact of their elite manpower, the stalemate front line began to shift towards the unfinished building. The barbarian rats' front line was divided and surrounded by local rats, forming isolated islands, and then they were bitten to death by the enemy rats around them.

In just a few minutes, the foreign rats could no longer resist and began to retreat.

This is not unusual. After all, foreign mice chewing bark in the wilderness are definitely not because they like hardship. Local mice can occupy fertile territories like the city because they are stronger.

The variable lies in the leader of the foreign rats. Its appearance makes it possible for the foreign rats to take the initiative to attack and seize territory.

Sure enough, seeing Yizi'er leading the army in person and his own rat descendants unable to resist, the barbarian rat leader Gangmao could not help it.

If this weak creature hadn't been surrounded by many guard rats, I would have almost killed it. I didn't expect it to dare to take the initiative to provoke me.

With sufficient nutrition in the city, the injuries caused by the giant demon before have been mostly recovered. This is intolerable!
Deal with him!

The hair all over Steel Hair's body emitted a black light, and his body gradually blended into the surrounding darkness.
