When she arrived at the fourth floor, the smell was so strong that it could not be covered up even with a mask. If she continued going up, she would not be able to rest properly, so she planned to tidy up here.

Turning into the corridor on the fourth floor, the exceptionally bright flashlight illuminated everything on the wall. There were various dirty words, dirty jokes, and poems left by a love-struck person written with markers or carved with knives. Some of the words were already blurred, but it was still vaguely recognizable that there were almost no good words.

Xiao Qi opened a few rooms at random. The rooms were covered with thick dust and messy furniture. Some beddings and daily necessities looked moldy and rotten. Not to mention whether they could be used, Xiao Qi would suspect that he might get fungal poisoning if he touched them.

In addition, the most eye-catching thing is a bulging quilt, where the strange smell is the strongest, and it seems that there seems to be something inside. I don’t know if it is a monster... or a treasure like a treasure chest?

Xiao Qi found a stick, kept the maximum distance, and lifted the covering quilt.

Xiao Qi just felt that this was the most regretful decision she had ever made.

As soon as the bedding was opened a little, black things fell out. Each grain of that thing looked like rice, but seemed to be a little bigger than rice grains. Until the bedding was completely lifted up, a large sticky ball of flesh stuck to the bedding emerged.

It was indeed a ball of flesh, round and oval in shape, covered with holes of various sizes. Although it had gone through a long time, it was still possible to tell that its original color should have been pink.

No need to think too much, this thing is probably the owner of this bed...

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the charred ground, broken towers and tanks, black walls and bare trees that can be seen from the entrance, this is obviously the chemical plant that exploded at the beginning. The surrounding areas are probably affected by it, and this dormitory building was naturally not spared. The explosion successfully took away the lives resting here. I just don't know why, the building looks intact, but the furniture inside seems to have been ravaged by the fire.

The foul smell rushed straight into Xiao Qi's nose, forcing her to frown, tighten her mask, and quickly leave the room.

The next few rooms were similar. There was a person who died in the explosion in almost every two dormitories. After looking at several horrific beds in succession, Xiao Qi was sure that there was nothing in such a place and did not disturb the dead any more.

The higher the floor, the stronger the smell. The smell is mostly a mixture of rotting flesh and burning smells. After much hesitation, Xiao Qi decided to temporarily live in the corridor of this floor.

After wiping the window with a wet tissue, Xiao Qi lowered the brightness of the flashlight to see what was happening outside. He did not expect that even such a faint light would actually make many mutant rats wandering downstairs notice something was wrong, and they began to move towards Xiao Qi with rustling sounds.

"Damn it... Don't mice like dark places? Why are they attracted to light sources... When that big mouse died, it really summoned me. This is trouble..."

Hearing the noise, Xiao Qi quickly turned off the flashlight, hoping that they would not realize his exact location, and then quickly moved upwards. Now he could not care about the unpleasant smell. The most important thing was to avoid these rats first.

The creepy sound was getting closer and closer, and it was obvious that it had no intention of giving up.

Soon Xiao Qi arrived at the top floor of the dormitory building. The smell here was almost suffocating. He could feel the pungent smell with just any breath. Xiao Qi had to lower his breathing rate to be better for his respiratory tract.

The top floor of the factory leads directly to the rooftop. The door is not locked and there are cigarette butts all over the floor. It seems that people often come here to smoke and chat, so the door is not locked.

Xiao Qi didn't dare to turn on the flashlight. He used the faint moonlight to see what was happening downstairs. Unexpectedly, he saw something densely packed in the darkness moving in the thick night. He didn't need to guess to know that these were probably all mutant rats. It was roughly estimated that there were tens of thousands of these rats, and they had completely surrounded the building.

A second-level mutant rat has such a strong appeal? Xiao Qi was particularly puzzled.

But in fact, the reason why so many mutant rats were summoned at one time was not because the dead second-level mutant rats had a high status and appeal, but because these mutant rats had not eaten fresh meat for a long time. No, even rotten and stale meat, they had not had the opportunity to eat it for a long time.

All nutritious food that can be eaten has been swept up by them, but their terrifying reproductive ability has not weakened in the slightest. Cannibalism has now occurred among the group, so after the only third-level mutant rat received the signal of the tragic death of its left and right arms, its first reaction was to lead its brothers to improve their meals.

You know, to be able to kill a second-level mutant rat, you must be at least a big guy. If you are not full, it should be okay to share a bite with each rat, right? If it is their favorite upright ape, it will be even better. How long has it been since I tasted the delicious meat?

Xiao Qi's scalp tingled when she saw the dense swarm of rats downstairs. Although she was not very afraid of rats, there were so many of them that she was about to suffer from claustrophobia.

The rats apparently smelled a different scent from the one upstairs and began looking for a way to get into the building.

The building was actually not intact. Windows in many places were broken due to the impact of the explosion. The number of rats was huge, so they successfully found a breakthrough within ten minutes, broke through the crumbling glass and entered the building.

When Xiao Qi heard the rustling sound from outside the building to inside, he knew that rats had probably broken in. There was no place to escape. Fortunately, Xiao Qi had no intention of escaping from the beginning. The key clue of the mission was in the rats, and the next step must be carried out in the chemical plant. If he could escape for a while, what would happen to the mission? It would be better to kill them all, which would also facilitate his next move.

Xiao Qi held his breath and began to concentrate on gathering the elemental attributes scattered throughout the space. Now that it was dark, the dark elements were unexpectedly very strong, and the use of the magic circle was simply perfect.

The dark elements in the space were mobilized and gathered bit by bit, gradually forming an energy field that could be felt. The rats seemed to sense the unusual aura and went upstairs faster, as if they couldn't wait to swallow the so-called source of energy so that their strength could be improved.

Lines of dark purple energy that were difficult to detect with the naked eye swirled around Xiao Qi and eventually fell to the ground and became part of the magic circle she was drawing. It was not known whether it was because of practice makes perfect, or because the daily absorption of the essence of heaven and earth had taken effect, but this time she spent a lot less time drawing the magic circle than before, which was enough to successfully draw her gravitational field before the rats arrived.

The moment the magic circle was drawn, a mysterious and extremely strong force appeared and began to extend to the surroundings until it covered the entire area within a hundred meters. The third-level mutant rats in the building and the swarm of rats still surging downstairs all felt the instant suppression.

Their speed was forced to slow down, and their field of vision was greatly suppressed. The most terrifying thing was that they felt that the energy in their bodies was being deprived by some strange force and was dissipating in strands.

The intelligence of the first-level mutant rat is still very low, and it does not understand what this feeling means, so it still rushes forward desperately, its scarlet eyes full of desire for food.

These desperate first-level mutant rats were soon punished. After all, the bleeding effect was not to be underestimated. They were hanged to death before they could even reach the rooftop. They stumbled a few steps and fell to the ground and could not get up. Although there were still countless mutant rats coming one after another, they could only reach the sixth floor before they were exhausted and became nutrients for the magic circle.

This was something Xiao Qi discovered accidentally later. Senluo Realm was indeed a magic circle for group attacks. If there were enough enemies, the dead individuals would be able to replenish some of the energy for the magic circle, allowing Xiao Qi to maintain this huge magic circle more easily. With such a strong endurance, the magician's survivability and magic consumption were greatly improved, and group battles were simply too easy.
