Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Chapter 188 Mental Zombie Rats

After collecting the supplies, Zhou Yang went to retrieve the power generation system for Chi Feng and the others, as agreed.

When it was taken apart, it was discovered that this was actually a state-of-the-art dual-system power generation device, which could generate electricity not only from solar energy but also from gasoline, and it was not very noisy.

Zhou Yang had seen this equipment before the apocalypse, but it was too expensive, costing hundreds of thousands of yuan. Zhou Yang gave up after just one look.

No wonder even a wealthy tycoon like Chi Feng had his eye on it.

Zhou Yang looked at the power generation equipment with some envy, but then remembered that he also had countless power generation devices in his own space, so he stopped thinking about the one in front of him.

After putting away the generator and glancing back at the empty warehouse, Zhou Yang walked back to Shen Zechuan and the others.

"We've finished collecting everything, let's go now."

The group nodded in unison, and Chi Feng took the lead and walked towards the door.

But when they arrived at the gate and were about to push it open, they found that the door, which they could easily push open, was now impossible to open.

"Hmm?" Chi Feng frowned and increased the pressure on his hand before finally pushing the door open a crack.

Instantly, countless gray eyes peered through the crack in the door, making Chi Feng shudder and immediately withdraw his hand.

With a bang, the heavy iron door slammed shut again.

"Tsk, they actually let zombie rats block the door!" Chi Feng angrily pounded on the door.

When Chi Feng pushed open the door a crack, Zhou Yang also peeked in, and was startled and speechless: "We've only been in here for about ten minutes, right? And they've already trapped us inside?"

Shen Zechuan and Yan Fei were also looking in the direction of the door, their brows furrowed.

"Staying here is not a solution. We need to find out how many zombie rats are blocking the way outside and break out as soon as possible."

Chi Feng stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then called Jiang Yuanshan over.

"Yuanshan, use your mental power to survey the outside area and see roughly how many rats there are."

"it is good."

Jiang Yuanshan responded, immediately closed his eyes, and released his spiritual energy to peer outside the door.

Although mental energy cannot detect the specific scene outside, it can roughly discern the situation outside.

The outside was completely blocked by zombie rats, all the way to the stairwell, with not a single gap to be seen.

"There are many zombie rats outside, at least tens of thousands, and you can't see their end all the way to the stairwell," Jiang Yuanshan said while using his mental power to probe, his eyes still closed.

Feeling that he had explored enough, Jiang Yuanshan was about to withdraw his mental energy.

Suddenly, he felt another, even more powerful force lock onto him, colliding directly with his mental energy.

This feeling was exactly the same as the mental attack I received yesterday, but it was clearly much stronger.

Jiang Yuanshan was puzzled for a moment, and his brows furrowed.

Seeing that Jiang Yuanshan had finished his investigation but hadn't opened his eyes yet, and that his brows were furrowed, Chi Feng immediately understood that Jiang Yuanshan had encountered something or made some other discovery, so he hurriedly asked, "Yuanshan, what's wrong? Is there anything unusual outside?"

"Yes, a psychic-type has locked onto my mental energy. It feels somewhat similar to the psychic zombie rat from last night, but stronger. I'm not entirely sure now..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang and the others all looked over.

Chi Feng rarely showed a serious expression, his furrowed brows deepening even further: "It's most likely still that mental energy rat from yesterday. I didn't expect it to become stronger in just one day! You should withdraw your mental energy first."

Jiang Yuanshan nodded and tried to attack the other party's mental power in order to break free from the other party's mental power lock and then withdraw his own mental power.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Jiang Yuanshan launched an attack, the opponent immediately counterattacked without holding back, directly tracking Jiang Yuanshan's mental energy all the way.

Jiang Yuanshan immediately countered upon discovering the other party's intentions; however, there was a significant difference in their levels, even if it was only half a level.

Not long after, Jiang Yuanshan was defeated. His opponent's mental energy transformed into fine needles that pierced straight into his brain, instantly causing Jiang Yuanshan to feel waves of excruciating pain.

"what!!"

Jiang Yuanshan cried out in pain, disregarding the fact that his mental energy was still locked in a standoff with the opponent, and immediately withdrew a portion of his mental energy to protect his brain.

Although his brain's defenses were now under control and the pricking sensation had subsided, his mental strength was inevitably damaged, causing his head to throb and ache.

Seeing Jiang Yuanshan's discomfort, Chi Feng was also a little anxious, but for now he could only ask him to persevere.

"Yuanshan, you hold off this psychic zombie while we figure out how to kill it!" After saying that, Chi Feng looked at Yan Fei, "Deputy Captain Yan, could you please melt down the door? And could you please help me hold off the zombie rats and prevent them from getting in? I'll use the mutated plant to find that psychic zombie; once we kill it, that's all we need to do."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zechuan and the others nodded and immediately assumed defensive stances.

After everyone else had made their preparations, Yan Fei directly melted down the door.

As Yan Fei made his move, Shen Zechuan and Yu Hui also took action one after another. They sent out an electric net, roasting the zombie rats at the door until they were crispy on the outside and crunchy on the inside. Then, an earthen wall was erected to fill in the missing door.

Chi Feng paid no attention to the earthen wall. With a flick of his wrist, a vine pierced through the wall and reached the other side. As it pierced through, it immediately branched out into several more, weaving through the zombie rats.

After Chi Feng released the vines, Yan Fei quickly used the molten metal to reinforce the interior of the earthen wall; otherwise, this earthen wall wouldn't be enough for the zombie rats outside.

With his eyes closed, Chi Feng observed the zombie rats outside through the vines, searching every nook and cranny.

Finally, at the turn of the stairs, they found a fat rat surrounded and protected by a large number of low-level zombie rats. It looked no different from a normal rat, except for its gray-white eyes, which proved that it was a zombie rat.

Without much thought, Chi Feng was certain that this was the fat rat, the mental zombie rat. It seemed to be at the peak of level 4, not yet level 5, and perhaps only one step away from level 5.

After confirming the situation, Chi Feng decided to resolve it directly.

However, the fat rat on the other side also noticed the suddenly appearing mutated plant immediately. Its intuition told it that this thing was dangerous, more dangerous than the food with the same ability as it in the iron house.

So the fat rat abandoned the few human foods in the iron house and summoned its henchmen to fight the mutated plant together.

In the blink of an eye, the zombie rats that had been crowding toward the iron gate all turned around and aimed at the mutated plant vines among the rats, tearing at the vines like madmen.

At the same time, Yan Fei and the others in the warehouse also felt a relief from the pressure.

Jiang Yuanshan breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that the mental energy outside had changed its attack direction.

He knew that Chi Feng must have found the mentally-based zombie rats outside, which was why the other party had no time to pay attention to him.
