“Girl, you just showed some serious skills!”
The Gypsy man moved close to Jiang Yan, giving her a covert thumbs-up before his gaze landed on the watermelon knife in her hand, stained with Rat’s blood.
The temperature was too low; the blood tangled in rat fur had long since coagulated into ice.
Jiang Yan said nothing, her eyes fixed intently on the man who looked like Ye Qing’s silhouette from before.
He must have been badly wounded; his head hung low, with fresh blood soaking through the mask and streaming down his chin unstoppably.
But halfway down, it had frozen solid.
Below the mask, all was red ice shards.
“Excuse me, everyone make way!”
The group of warriors originally standing at the base entrance split into two, using their hands to stop Jiang Yan and the others behind them.
The two warriors carrying the injured man quickly reached the entrance of the base. A thick scent of blood, mixed with a distinctive smell, emanated from the man’s body, penetrating Jiang Yan’s nostrils.
That smell was somewhat like the unique fragrance that Black Tai Sui in Jiang Yan’s Space emitted.
Could it be a coincidence?
Jiang Yan’s eyes flickered with surprise.
The three had already entered the base; their figures disappearing amidst the thickly falling snow.
At the same time, about a dozen fully armed workers came out from the base, holding knives, pliers, and pushing wheelbarrows.
Then, slowly moving trucks and diggers followed.
As the workers passed by Jiang Yan, she, as usual, detected a very foul smell.
This stench was identical to that of the Mutated Giant Rats, and even faintly carried the unpleasant odor that lingered after eating two-legged sheep.
Actually, Jiang Yan was wearing a very thick thermal mask.
That she could smell these odors suggested not only were her senses enhanced by the Space, but also that these scents were indeed deeply embedded.
While considering this, she had already put the knife back into her backpack, her gaze unconsciously sweeping over the road outside.
Machine gunfire had already stopped earlier.
The surviving Mutated Giant Rats had disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Disappeared as well were most of the corpses left on the icy plain.
They were likely carried away or swallowed by the Mutated Giant Rats.
Many large holes appeared in the area around the snow house.
Seeing all this, Jiang Yan’s heart sank suddenly.
Come in haste, depart in haste.
Could these Mutated Rats be controlled by someone?
Jiang Yan thought with extreme fear.
“Girl, look!” The Gypsy man’s words pulled Jiang Yan’s thoughts back.
Jiang Yan followed the direction of his finger.
The group that had exited the base had now split into three teams. One headed towards the dead Mutated Giant Rats.
The still warm, bright red rat skins were being peeled off in whole pieces.
Others were tasked with dismantling the rat claws and teeth, slicing the rat meat, and dividing the rat fat—the efficiency and professionalism of their assembly line work were remarkable.
All the items related to the Rats were sorted and packed, then placed in the digger’s shovel bucket before being transferred to the trucks.
Another group of people picked up limbs, heads, and bodies of the deceased in black suits, along with fallen knives, placing them respectively into backpacks and wheelbarrows.
The third group went to tidy up the ordinary dead.
As for the vehicles that had been overturned and damaged, they were also likely part of what needed to be cleaned up.
Jiang Yan was somewhat astonished; nowadays, with the icy, snowy environment, the Mutated Giant Rats supposedly didn’t have an abundant food supply, so how could they still accumulate fat…
The outer area of the base was quickly filled with shivering people.
Some walked over, some ran, and some ground their blood-drenched limbs against the ice, trembling as they crawled over.
Most of these people used to live in the snow houses, having narrowly escaped disaster.
And a few were lucky survivors from the recent rat swarm attack.
At this moment, in the hearts of those who had escaped a rat’s bite, entering the base was the sole hope for survival.
However, the base gates were wide open at this moment, but no one dared to cross the threshold.
Everyone had clung to life till now and was very protective of their own.
“Those people in black from before…could they be Mutant People?” someone couldn’t help but murmur.
The words instantly unlocked a floodgate of conversation.
“Who knows, if animals can mutate, humans probably aren’t an exception…”
“They’re so huge and not afraid of the cold—could they be from Russia?”
“Probably not.”
“I heard when I was at the previous base that this base is pretty powerful; they had collected quite a few Mutated Animals from various places before…”
“…”
“Shush! Someone’s coming!”
Sure enough, a middle-aged man wearing work clothes under a mink coat came out, holding a megaphone in his hand.
Behind him followed several armed warriors leading German Shepherds.
“All those who wish to enter the base, please line up immediately! Groups of four, regardless of gender!”
“All Mutated Rats and weapons are strictly forbidden to be picked up! If picked up by mistake, please hand them over conscientiously!”
“Those injured and showing signs of altitude sickness, please line up separately!”
“Anyone carrying supplies and backpacks must open them for inspection!”
“Anyone carrying explosive contraband, please declare it voluntarily!”
“…”
The man’s words rang out loud and clear, logically and methodically.
Everyone lined up tremulously and quickly.
Jiang Yan took a deep breath and quietly joined the line.
A person timidly raised their hand:
“Excuse me, leader. Our cars and food were all lost just now. May I ask if we can still enter the base?”
“Yes, you can enter the base. Just sign a labor agreement afterwards!” replied the man with the megaphone, and a buzz of discussion rose in the crowd:
“I heard that this labor agreement is almost the same as a deed of sale. Once signed, you lose your freedom…”
“Being alive is already good enough! What freedom?!” The man in the mink coat then glared at the crowd before continuing with his megaphone and walking away.
The remaining people gave a furtive glance at his retreating figure and whispered:
“Ah, I was actually considering living outside the base for the freedom and low cost. Didn’t expect such a thing to happen…”
“That’s nothing. I spent millions on an RV, gold bars, several dozen kilograms of food, all ruined in that chaos!
Damn, I thought I could just coast by with those supplies in the base, and now, in a second, I’m back to being poor!!”
“Several dozen kilograms of food… Big brother, you’re amazing!”
“…”
“So weird, since Rats are so good at burrowing, why are there only holes outside the base?”
“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t…”
“Yeah, those warriors, they had guns, so why wait until all the people in black had died before they started shooting… Could they be doing it on purpose?”
“Shush! Walls have ears, don’t talk nonsense!”
“…”
Jiang Yan silently listened to the people’s discussions, raising her eyes to look at the sky.
The snowflakes “shush” fell.
It was still early, yet the sky had already begun to darken.
