Chapter 319 - 319 A Tough Opponent
Lin Liye carried Zhang Guozhu and quickly ran down the passage.
Before they could cross the stone coffin in the middle, the lid of the stone coffin was pushed open a crack.
With a low crunch, a dried-up arm reached out from the sarcophagus.
“F*ck my mom and call me Clementine!” Zhang Guozhu exclaimed.
“Holy f*ck, Clementine! It’s one of those Egyptian mummies!”
Lin Liye carried Zhang Guozhu and wanted to quickly go around.
“Creak creak creak…”
The lid of the stone coffin was pushed open, and a zombie in modern clothes climbed out.
“Ah, it’s just an ordinary zombie.
“Where would mythical undeads come from?
“He probably hid inside after the virus broke out.”
Lin Liye heaved a sigh of relief. He had almost been frightened as well.
The two of them were about to cross the stone coffin. Lin Liye did not dare to be careless and kept his eyes on the shriveled zombie.
The rustling sounds did not stop.
There was something else in the stone coffin!
A mutant sand rat suddenly jumped out of the sarcophagus!
It directly jumped onto the shriveled zombie’s shoulder and bit its neck!
The shriveled zombie let out a wail, but because his throat was too dry, it sounded like he was panting.
Then, more than a dozen mutated sand rats rushed out!
The withered zombie was instantly reduced to bones…
Lin Liye didn’t dare to hesitate any longer. He carried Zhang Guozhu and ran out desperately.
However, he had still underestimated the mutant sand rats.
After gnawing on the unfortunate zombie, the mutant sand rats immediately charged towards Lin Liye.
They seemed to have some intelligence, as half of the mutant sand rats went around to block the entrance of the passage.
“Damn, we’ll have to fight this one out.
“A dozen of them. This won’t be easy to deal with…”
Lin Liye gritted his teeth.
The mutant sand rats were nimble and small, so they were much more difficult to deal with than the lumbering mutant lizards.
At that moment, a sound suddenly came from the passage.
It was the sound of footsteps!
Then, the light from the flashlight shone into their faces.
“Daddy!
“Are you guys okay?”
Lin Shuang appeared at the entrance of the passage, followed by Zhao Qi.
“Lin Shuang! Why are you here?”
Lin Liye’s emotions were extremely complicated.
On one hand, with the help of the two rank-five Awakened Ones, their chances of escaping would be higher.
On the other hand, he was also worried about his daughter’s safety.
“Be careful of these mutated sand rats. They’re very agile!”
Lin Liye warned them.
As soon as he finished speaking, the mutant sand rats at the entrance of the passage pounced at Lin Shuang and Zhao Qi.
Two daggers appeared in Lin Shuang’s hands, and she used her agile movements to deal with the mutant sand rats.
Zhao Qi, on the other hand, took out a flashbang and threw it into the group of sand rats.
“Flashbang out!” Zhao Qi warned them.
The dazzling light burst out in the darkness.
These mutant sand rats had always been in a dark environment, so the effect was like having a knife stabbing into their eyes.
Most of the mutated sand rats were immediately rendered helpless. They rolled around on the ground.
This gave Lin Liye and the others a chance.
They took the opportunity to finish off the rats.
With the combined efforts of the group, all the sand rats in the stone room were cleared.
“Zhao Qi, not bad.” Lin Liye said in an appreciative tone.
Zhao Qi had acted fast with his flashbang.
“You’re too kind…
...
“I’m just…”
Before Zhao Qi could finish, a rustling sound came from below the stone coffin again.
“Not good, there’s more of them!
“Let’s move!”
Lin Liye did not give Zhao Qi the chance to be smug. He immediately led the way out of the passage.
Two minutes later, the group finally ran out of the pyramid.
When they saw the bright sunshine above their heads, Lin Liye and Zhang Guozhu finally heaved a sigh of relief.
They had narrowly escaped death…
“Captain Lin, I’m going to blow up the entrance!”
Zhao Qi took out a grenade and was about to pull out the needle.
“Don’t!
...
“We need to enter again…”
Lin Liye immediately stopped Zhao Qi.
“What?!”
The three people present were all shocked!
‘Are you kidding me?’
“Dad, don’t mess around…”
Lin Shuang was so nervous that she was on the verge of tears.
She had just fought with the mutant sand rats and knew how powerful they were.
There had to be more of them within the pyramid.
It would be too dangerous to go in again!
“No, I have to go in.
“We’re dealing with a new form of evil, and they are reproducing rapidly.
“You’ve seen it for yourself. Those tiny mutant sand rats are already this powerful. If their numbers continue to increase, they’ll be a threat to the whole world.
“I must go in again and finish up the job,” Lin Liye said resolutely.
“But…”
“What can we do? We need an army for this!”
Lin Shuang cried out.
If not for the flashbang, it would have been difficult for them to escape. Now, Lin Liye actually said that they had to turn around and finish the job…
“That’s right, Captain Lin. Why don’t we go back first and gather reinforcements before coming back?”
Zhao Qi also tried to persuade him.
“No… There won’t be enough time.
“When Zhang and the others first came here, there weren’t that many mutant creatures.
“In just a few days, their numbers have multiplied.
“This reproduction speed…
“If this drags on, the consequences will be unimaginable…”
Lin Liye sighed.
“But…”
Lin Shuang wanted to continue persuading him.
“No buts. I’ve already called for help. They’ll probably be here soon.
“We’ll act as soon as he arrives.”
When Lin Liye thought of Wang Ran, he felt a little more at ease.
With him around, they might have a chance…
“Help? Who?
“Even you, Dad, are in such a sorry state. What’s the point of others coming…” Lin Shuang mumbled.
Zhao Qi also frowned.
Him showing up with Lin Shuang to rescue Lin Liye and Zhang Guozhu had been the ideal scenario.
If more people came to help Lin Liye deal with these mutated creatures, his contribution would be insignificant…
“Captain Lin, it can’t be him, right?”
Zhang Guozhu, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly jumped up.
He thought of a person.
A man who had saved him twice and was terrifyingly powerful.
If he were to come…
He may just be able to get rid of those snakes, insects, rats, and ants!
“That’s right, it’s him,”
Lin Liye smiled and nodded.
At the thought of this man, Lin Liye calmed down a little.
