"The rats are coming out, be careful!"
While Duke spoke to remind Caitlyn and Vi, he also patted Arrogance. Arrogance's headlights lit up, indicating that it was monitoring every move of all the rats.
Should any abnormal situation arise, Arrogance would act. Duke crossed his legs on the seat, propping his left elbow on his leg, resting his chin in his hand, and holding white ivory in his right hand, observing Vi and Caitlyn with interest.
The plot had already been disrupted by him. According to the original plot, Caitlyn should have rescued Vi from Stillwater Prison, and then the two would come together through a series of events, becoming partners.
But now the storyline was already messed up. To prevent these two partners from missing each other, Duke simply took advantage of this evening's opportunity to bring them together.
What kind of bond could be stronger than the one formed through mutual cooperation in battle?
Bang!!
The sudden gunshot made Duke look over. Vi charged at the very front, and under the call of the Rat King in the workshop, the outer Plague Rats all furiously rushed towards Vi and Caitlyn.
Vi, at the very front, faced Plague Rats as large as rabbits. Every punch she threw would kill three to five jumping Plague Rats, but there were even more Plague Rats under her feet, and some were also rushing towards Caitlyn.
Caitlyn half-crouched at the workshop entrance, calmly and coolly aiming forward through her night vision scope. Because the main body of this rifle was a Deathstroke sidearm, it didn't require frequent bolt manipulation for loading like a typical hunting rifle.
Therefore, Caitlyn kept pulling the trigger, the flames from the muzzle particularly conspicuous in the night. Each bullet would take down one or several Plague Rats.
"Hah!"
Vi, clenching her fists, heavily smashed them into the ground, sweeping away the Plague Rats beneath her feet. Who knew how many Plague Rats were instantly Shocked to death by the impact (ajfa) that erupted from her smash.
After clearing out all the Plague Rats in one wave, Vi blew away the loose hair from her forehead, "Not good enough, Little Cake!"
Caitlyn, her expression unchanged, pulled the trigger of the rifle in her hand at Vi. A bullet tore through the air, directly hitting a Plague Rats that jumped from the wall to ambush Vi.
"bang bang!" Caitlyn moved her eyes from the scope and gave Vi an unyielding smile, "Headshot!"
"Tch!"
Vi gently brushed off the bloodstains on her body. Duke's eyes lit up; this usually unruly girl could actually perform such delicate operations. It seemed she had quite a talent.
"Girls, just a reminder, more Rats are coming out, and their numbers are definitely beyond your imagination!"
Duke pushed Edith on his face and reminded Caitlyn and Vi in a rather irritating tone. Vi said discontentedly, "Duke, if you're not participating, don't make sarcastic remarks!"
"Exactly, what a boring man!"
Caitlyn, for once, agreed with Vi. The two looked at each other, then simultaneously turned their heads away.
"They're here!"
Duke's low cry made Vi and Caitlyn regain their spirits and seriously confront the swarm of Plague Rats before them.
The Rat swarm, like a tide, densely packed together and rushed towards the two people at the factory entrance. The figures of these Plague Rats also appeared on the surrounding walls, and in the underground Water channels, the squeaking of Rats was even more intense.
Caitlyn and Vi's scalps tingled at the sight.
"Tsk, this is a bit beyond our scope!"
Duke frowned, but soon his brows relaxed again.
Caitlyn proactively approached Vi and pointed to the factory building on one side of the gate, "Can you send me up?"
"What do you want to do?"
Vi slammed her palms together, and the explosive Impact killed all the first arriving Plague Rats.
"The view is better up there. You send me up, I'll help you deal with those attacking you, and you deal with these!"
"I hope you Draw a Bead well enough!"
"Me, miss?" Caitlyn smiled confidently, "How could I!"
Vi threw Caitlyn onto the factory building. Caitlyn, half-kneeling on the roof of the factory building, began to frantically pull the trigger at the Rat swarm.
As bullets pierced through the void, continuous gunshots echoed in the night sky. Vi bravely charged into the Rat swarm. The wind from each punch she threw would flatten many Plague Rats.
And those Plague Rats that tried to ambush Vi were systematically cleared one by one by Caitlyn.
"Beautiful teamwork!"
Duke clapped his hands in praise. Caitlyn and Vi both gave him a cold smile. At this moment, these two, who had always been at odds, actually found common ground.
"Tsk!"
Duke clicked his tongue and noticed that the Plague Rats in the central factory building had disappeared. His eyelids twitched, and he quickly searched for their figures, only to see a figure as large as a hound slowly climbing onto the wall, stealthily creeping towards Caitlyn.
bang bang bang....
The sudden burst of gunfire made Caitlyn's body tremble. As the factory building behind her was shattered by the white ivory, a somewhat blurry Shadow jumped down from the factory building.
The opponent seemed to have the ability to optically mimic, and with the cover of the night, it directly approached Caitlyn. Duke had been focusing on Vi and Caitlyn earlier and didn't notice this Rat King sneaking up to Caitlyn.
"Is that Twitch, able to stealth?"
Duke frowned, but quickly dismissed the thought. Twitch could achieve complete stealth, not this kind of barely enough stealth that relied on the cover of night.
"Are the mutated Plague Rats related to Twitch?"
Duke slowly raised his right arm, and the white ivory in his right hand steadily unleashed unparalleled firepower, suppressing the Plague Rats inside the factory.
"Alright, let's end this!"
"Arrogance!"
Duke dismounted from the motorcycle. Arrogance immediately transformed into battle mode, let out a roar towards the sky, and then fire appeared in its throat.
The next second.
Flames, like a torrent, engulfed the Plague Rats.
