Capítulo 18: Chapter 18 Early Detonation_1
Ye Feng commanded the King Cobra, heading in the direction of his home.
It was the same as before, divided into two teams.
The ones in the sky were responsible for scouting and also served as coordinates, making it easier for Ye Feng to direct the team in the sewers.
However, because they were escorting a parrot through the air, their speed of travel was a bit slower than before.
Of course, as the parrot tried to escape time and time again, only to be disciplined over and over, it gradually settled down and obediently followed the team in flight.
After spending more than 20 minutes, Ye Feng finally arrived near his home.
His family's conditions were not good; they lived in an old neighborhood, and the house was a bit dilapidated.
Of course, this alone wouldn't be much, but his mother was in poor health, with a surgery on her lumbar spine when she was young and had been unable to do heavy labor ever since, leaving the entire family dependent on his father alone.
Originally, everything would have improved after enduring just one more year, waiting until Ye Feng graduated.
But unexpectedly, a global biological mutation occurred.
Ye Feng's sparrow avatar flew into the old street, his eyes looking at the buildings on both sides of the street, filled with an urge to cry.
Although it had only been a few days since he had been back, it truly felt like he had died and come back to life.
He controlled his emotions and landed on an electric pole near his home. While directing the King Cobra on its journey, he looked towards his home.
After the animal mutations, basically, whether it was day or night, nobody would carelessly open their windows, and they would certainly be fitted with mosquito screens.
Under these circumstances, even if the curtains weren't drawn, one could only get a vague glimpse inside through the windows.
It was now 2 a.m., the whole street silent, and by all rights, his family should have been sound asleep.
But suddenly, he saw a small head appear in front of a window.
"Xiao Rou," Ye Feng called out in his heart.
That was his six-year-old sister, who had just started elementary school.
Due to the significant age difference between them, he doted on his little sister quite a bit, trying his best to satisfy her with treats and fun things.
So the relationship between the siblings had always been good.
At this moment, Xiao Rou came to the window, looked up at the sky, and seemed to be muttering something to herself.
Ye Feng thought for a moment, then silently flew down from the electric pole, landing on the railing of the small balcony.
At this point, he was less than three meters from the window.
"Brother! Mom said you became a star in the sky, when will you come back? Xiao Rou misses you so much!"
As he clearly heard what his sister was saying, Ye Feng felt a moistness in his eyes.
However, his sister's next words made him somewhat bittersweet, "You promised me chocolate before but never bought it for me. How did you just become a star?"
"She really has a sweet tooth," Ye Feng muttered in his heart without any good humor.
But at that moment, he truly felt an urge to sneak into a convenience store at night and grab a couple of chocolate bars for his sister.
"Brother, today I saw Mom crying again, and when Dad came back from work, he was utterly silent too. Xiao Rou is so scared, what's going on?"
"And also! Today, when I went out to buy groceries with Mom, she just spaced out while walking..."
Listening to Xiao Rou's soliloquy, Ye Feng felt a pang in his heart.
His gaze then turned to the Mutated Parrot, peacefully perched on the electric pole, and a bold idea formed in his mind.
Of course, to implement this idea would require some time—the most crucial matter right now was to ascertain whether his parents' location was safe.
As his previous exploration had given Ye Feng a slight grasp on the layout of the sewers, directing the King Cobra through the tunnels this time was not too difficult. In just ten minutes, they had arrived at the nearby district.
Ye Feng transferred his Avatar Status to a sparrow in the sewer, continuously observing the surroundings.
The more he watched, the tighter his brows furrowed.
Perhaps due to the old neighborhood, the number of Mutated Mice here was nearly double that of other places.
In such a situation, one could imagine the condition of the wire mesh installed at the sewage outlet.
Almost every piece of wire mesh bore bite marks, and more than half were damaged enough to allow Mutated Mice to pass through.
Quickly, he arrived at the sewage outlet below his own home and glanced at the wire mesh. Although there wasn't a large hole in the mesh, three wires had been bitten through.
He estimated that if he had come a few days later, the mice would have created an opening here as well.
"If this continues, it's only a matter of time before we encounter problems. It's even unclear whether we can hold out until the end of the large-scale 'Four Pests' eradication campaign," Ye Feng said with a furrowed brow.
He recalled the process during the previous "Four Pests" campaigns, which usually started from the city center and then spread toward the suburban areas.
During these operations, many Mutated Mice, Mutated Cockroaches, and Mutated Mosquitoes were eliminated, but some, sensing danger, fled towards the suburbs.
As these rats and cockroaches began to take flight, the old district naturally became a badly affected area.
During the previous campaigns, the mouse population in their block was particularly dense, and eventually, these Mutated Mice became so bold that they would stroll on the streets in broad daylight.
And in just two days during that period, twelve people on this street alone were bitten by the mice.
This time, the mice had become even stronger. He anticipated that the trouble they would cause would be greater.
He did not want his own family to become the next unlucky victims of bites.
In fact, given the current degree of mutation in these mice, being bitten might not be the only thing to worry about.
Looking at the Mutated Mice that were scurrying rapidly through the sewers, Ye Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, "Since there's a high probability of issues arising during the later extermination, I might as well trigger it ahead of time."
As long as he was here to create sufficient commotion, attracting the attention of the Mutant Management Bureau, everything would be manageable.
No sooner had he thought it than Ye Feng, controlling the sparrow, flew down onto the back of the King Cobra and issued a new command.
The once leisurely King Cobra, as if casually strolling along, now had a gleam of murderous intent in its cold eyes.
In the next instant, its massive body exhibited a terrifying speed, utterly disproportionate to its size, as it darted forward, a deathly aura permeating the entire sewer.
Squeak, squeak!
The Mutated Mice in the sewer, as if encountering the most terrifying thing imaginable, let out sharp squeals as they scurried in all directions.
Although most of the mice fled along the sewer, many crossed the damaged wire mesh, burrowing into the sewage pipes of numerous homes.
One could imagine that these households were in for trouble if the wire mesh in their kitchens or bathrooms wasn't secure enough.
This scene made Ye Feng's expression even colder, but he had no intention of stopping.
At home, Xiao Rou, who was looking up at the stars, suddenly heard a loud bang not far away.
A manhole cover was struck by something and flew high into the air with a clang.
Before she could react, a series of booming sounds followed.
One after another, manhole covers on the street flew high, and giant Mutated Mice frantically burst out in a frenzied run.
