Chapter 292: Interlude

It was a massive base.
Ahead was a large ruin, with the shells of various structures around it.
It was evident that this region had once been very prosperous, but now it had been completely ruined.
Looking at this region, Chen Heng's expression was calm as he walked forwards.
He looked around and felt a sense of familiarity.
This body felt a great sense of familiarity towards this place, as if he had lived here for a long time.
This was indeed the case.
Since five years ago, when most of humanity moved underground, Chen Heng's past identity had remained here and lived here.
This place had been a small base, and it had many facilities in the surroundings. Even though it could not support too many people, it would be fine for a small number of people.
That was how this body had survived for many years.
Walking through this place, Chen Heng's expression was calm as he looked around.
As he came over, some creatures hidden in the surroundings silently came over.
In a thicket not too far away, shadows flashed and slowly headed towards Chen Heng.
It seemed that Chen Heng had become their target.
Chen Heng did not seem to mind and continued heading onwards.
However, underground, many people greatly reacted on the internet.
"Stupid mutated creatures, once again targeting someone you can't handle."
"Let's see what the mutated creatures are this time."
"Looking forward to it…"
Many voices discussed online, seeming quite excited to see what would happen next.
Even the MC and the middle-aged man on the screen only lightly coughed before continuing.
"We can see that our protagonist has once again encountered some unexpected guests."
The camera angle slightly shifted, revealing the creatures by the side.
They were very small creatures and looked somewhat like rats. However, they were much bigger than rats and were about half a meter tall.
There were scales on their bodies, and their eyes were scarlet, making them seem quite terrifying.
They were far too big to be ordinary rats.
"Everyone can see that these creatures look like rats," the middle-aged man said, "But they are not actually rats but a mutated version.
"Compared to ordinary rats, they have far greater vitality and reproductive abilities, and they are very adaptable to new environments.
"Moreover, because of their powerful reproductive abilities, whenever Mutant Rats appear in a place, it is never just one or two but an entire colony."
Following this, many different scenes appeared on the screen, showing countless Mutant Rats.
However, they were all hidden incredibly well, and if a normal person was standing there, they would not be able to notice them at all.
With these Mutant Rats' strength, if they went berserk, it would be very difficult for an ordinary person to survive.
Right now, neither the audience nor the MC or middle-aged man felt surprised or fearful anymore.
In fact, some people were feeling sorry for the Mutant Rats.
"Just like everyone can see…" the middle-aged man said seriously, "These Mutant Rats are quite strong, and even against more powerful lifeforms, they will rush up to bite them.
"Facing a few Mutant Rats, even a lion would most likely fall…"
As he spoke, he became more and more immersed in what he was saying.
By the side, the MC lightly tapped his shoulder and pointed over to the screen. Feeling this, he instinctively looked over at the screen.
Only then did he find that in just a short period of time, great changes had happened on the screen.
The boy was still standing there like before, but behind him, there were countless Mutant Rat corpses.
The Mutant Rats lay everywhere covered with blood, creating quite a gory scene.
