The End of the World: Start with a Book, All Superpowers Depend on Reading

With the participation of the first-level mutant rats, the defense of the bronze-armored corpse was finally broken.

The claws and teeth of the first-level mutant rats were also strengthened, flashing cold light in the moonlight, and looked extremely sharp.

Even the defense of the bronze-armored corpse could not completely resist it.

However, the first-level mutant rats did not gain much advantage, and their ability to break the defense of the bronze-armored corpse was limited.

They could only use their flexible bodies to dodge and move, constantly harassing and attacking the bronze-armored corpse.

If the battle continued like this, the bronze-armored corpse would definitely be worn to death by this first-level mutant rat.

Things often do not develop so naturally. Roars continued to be heard on the battlefield with a radius of several hundred meters.

Several zombies evolved by constantly devouring the flesh and blood of mutant rats, thus advancing to the first level.

However, these newly promoted first-level zombies are all ordinary enhanced zombies. Zombies before the third level rarely awaken superpowers.

After the third level, special zombies with elemental or spiritual abilities will gradually appear.

Ordinary enhanced zombies include those with enhanced skin like the bronze-armored zombie, hunters with enhanced speed, and giant zombies with enhanced size and strength.

The newly appeared first-level zombies on the battlefield at this moment are two bronze-armored zombies, a hunter and a giant zombie three meters tall.

The mutant rat group devoured many zombies' flesh and brains, and several new first-level mutant rats appeared.

Seeing this, Wang Mingyang frowned, and a new question appeared in his mind.

"Could it be... that the rat king has not appeared yet?"

According to the characteristics of biological groups, the leader of a group will not allow a stronger existence than himself to appear in the group, which is a challenge to the leader's authority.

Just like a lion group, the lion king in the group will drive away their children when they are about to become adults to protect the status of adult lions in the group.

If it is a new lion king from outside, he will bite all male cubs to death without hesitation to ensure that his status is not threatened.

This group of mutant rats, if there is only a first-level mutant rat king commander.

Then, the sudden promotion of so many first-order mutant rats in the tribe at this moment will greatly threaten the rule of the Rat King.

Unless...

"Unless the leader of this mutant rat group... is a second-order mutant rat king or above!"

When Wang Mingyang thought of this, his heart trembled.

The second-order mutant rat king is definitely a super dangerous opponent for them at this moment!

With A-level metal control, Wang Mingyang is not afraid of first-order mutant rats or first-order zombies, and he is even confident that he can kill them without injury.

With S-level space cutting, Wang Mingyang is confident that he can kill second-order mutant rats.

But with the flexible body of the second-order mutant rat king, Wang Mingyang is not very confident that he can hit it with space cutting.

S-level superpowers are very powerful, but if you can't hit the opponent, it will be meaningless.

Thinking of this, Wang Mingyang quickly squatted down in the surprised eyes of the two women, and kept signaling the two women to do it.

Su Yu and Mu Ningxue looked at each other, and out of trust in Wang Mingyang, they also squatted down.

"There may be a second-order mutant rat king in this mutant rat tide!"

Wang Mingyang said in a low voice under the curious gaze of the two women.

"Second-order?!"

The two women were surprised.

"Well, it's not normal for a rat group to have multiple first-order mutant rats." Wang Mingyang nodded and told the two women his analysis one by one.

"So, there is really a second-order mutant rat king." Mu Ningxue nodded in agreement.

"Second-order! We don't even have a first-order one now, so we can't be opponents at all!" Su Yu bit her lip, and it was difficult to describe the fact that she was not as good as a rat.

"It's difficult. In terms of physical fitness, I estimate that your dark flame blade should be able to hurt it, but the effect is limited. Mu Ningxue's ice ability is estimated to have some difficulty in even limiting its speed."

Wang Mingyang's face was serious. He was not belittling the abilities of the two women.

On the contrary, he knew very well how powerful Su Yu and Mu Ningxue's abilities were.

Because of this, he wanted to make the two women understand that the difference of two levels was an insurmountable gap.

"We can just hide in the house and not provoke it, right?" Su Yu whispered.

"Well, you guys stay in the house for a while and don't come out!" Wang Mingyang nodded.

"What about you?!" Mu Ningxue asked curiously.

"I'll continue to observe and verify some guesses."

Wang Mingyang laughed and said nonchalantly.

"What if you meet that second-level rat king? It's too dangerous!"

Su Yu shook her head and held his sleeve tightly.

"Don't worry, I won't take risks. Don't forget, I still have the S-level ability of space cutting! If we really meet, it's hard to say who will win."

Wang Mingyang patted Su Yu's cold little hand and said proudly.

"But..."

"Okay, you go back first, I'll be back as soon as possible."

Wang Mingyang interrupted Su Yu's words of dissuasion, gently pushed her shoulder, and signaled them to go back to the house quickly.

Mu Ningxue bit her lip, and her eyes stayed on Wang Mingyang's face for a while.

She stood up resolutely, pulled Su Yu and walked towards the stairs.

"Don't be so brave, come back safely!"

Mu Ningxue's pleasant voice sounded just before the door closed, and Wang Mingyang smiled slightly when he heard it.

This woman, with a prominent family background, although proud, is not the kind of rich second generation who is out of touch with the world.

It is very clear what kind of choice is the most appropriate.

For her now, Wang Mingyang is a guide stone tablet and a protection card.

His survival is more beneficial to her.

Carefully observing the surroundings, Wang Mingyang kept searching for possible second-level mutant rat kings.

The battle between the first-level mutant rats and the first-level zombies in the field became more and more intense, and ordinary zombies and mutant rats could no longer participate.

The first-level hunter, who is also agile and fast, took two first-level mutant rats to fly over the eaves and walls, and ordinary mutant rats and zombies fell to the ground along the way.

The hunter's finger nails mutated into 30-centimeter-long claw blades, and they swept across the bodies of mutant rats with a wave of his hand, and they were instantly torn into pieces, appearing extremely sharp.

Although the claws of the two first-level mutant rats were not as sharp as those of the hunters, they scratched the zombies and instantly tore off large pieces of flesh and blood, and the sharp rat teeth could bite through the zombies' heads in one bite.

The giant zombie in the field was already covered with mutant rats. Its huge palm could crush several mutant rats to death. If it stepped on it, two or three rats would be crushed directly.

Unfortunately, the giant zombie's defense was not as good as the bronze zombie. It was soon overwhelmed by the dense mutant rats and soon became a pile of dry bones.

Its flesh and blood allowed the three mutant rats to successfully advance to the first level.

Zombies and mutant rats continued to die, devour, and advance. Ordinary zombies and mutant rats fell one by one, creating a dozen first-level zombies and first-level mutant rats in the field.

With a sharp hiss, the rat tide seemed to have received some kind of order, and all retreated quickly in one direction, leaving only a dozen first-level mutant rats in the field.

And those first-level zombies led the dense zombies and kept surrounding them.

After more than an hour of melee, the zombies near the university town were attracted, and thousands of zombies fell in the field.

At this moment, there were still more than 10,000 zombies gathered, scattered within a radius of several hundred meters.

Under Wang Mingyang's expectant eyes, a black-haired rat as big as a domestic pig appeared on the roof of a small building a few hundred meters away.

Its black hair shone in the moonlight, with a faint metallic luster, as sharp as steel needles, and its two bloody eyes stared at the zombies on the street.

The second-level pressure that crushed the whole scene spread, and the zombies kept roaring to the sky. They had no consciousness at all, but they had no idea what fear was.
