Luckily, they guessed right, the person had indeed left.

But, if that person were to return, just like in the morning, appearing in front of them without a sound, what then?

"Probably, won't come back, right?"

Someone said anxiously, "There's nothing here to attract the attention of the Awakened Association, right?"

"Yes, the only things attractive were the Rat King and Elder Jin. Now they are all dead, only we little fish and shrimp are left. They shouldn't bother coming here for us."

"I agree. Besides, when I was peeking from the side, that masked guy didn't seem to come for us, but for the rat horde here."

"What, not for us?"

"For the rat horde here?"

"Really?"

Hearing this, the others were invigorated.

"Yes,"

The person nodded, recalling carefully, then said, "When Elder Jin appeared with his people, that person did not seem to want to attack them. Unfortunately, Elder Jin and his people pressed on, provoking the other party, leading to their own deaths. Then, the Rat King appeared, and you know the rest."

"That's right, I was also there. That's exactly what happened."

"Indeed."

Many voices echoed.

"So, Elder Jin and his people's death was their own doing?"

Someone looked shocked.

"Seems like it."

"This...this..."

Everyone didn't know what to say for a moment.

That strong person even gave them a chance to live.

Unfortunately, Elder Jin and they didn't cherish it. Instead, they thought the other party was weak and easy to bully.

And the result?

When they wanted to regret, it was too late.

But thinking about it, it wasn't entirely Elder Jin's fault.

If it were them in Elder Jin's place, for a stranger breaking in without a word, they would also shout and fight.

Just like some of them, peeking from the side, their hearts filled with anger, wishing for the guy to die immediately.

"This is really, fate playing tricks on us."

Someone smiled bitterly.

"Indeed, but if that's the case, what was that person's purpose for coming here? Could it be, just to kill the rat horde?"

"Yeah, if that's the case, it's too strange, right?"

They thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

"Forget it, since we can't figure it out, let's not think about it." A fierce-looking man laughed, "It's enough to know that the person didn't come for us."

"That's right, from now on, let's eat and drink as usual, as if nothing happened."

"Yes, get a few women down here. I was almost scared to death today, need to relax." Someone smiled lewdly.

"Third Brother Li, you want women, you're probably dreaming." Someone beside him laughed teasingly.

"What do you mean?"

Third Brother Li paused.

"Seems like you don't know, that person took all the women imprisoned here before leaving." The person laughed.

"What? He took all the women?"

Third Brother Li looked shocked.

"Really?"

"Took them all?"

"How did he take them? I remember there were about one or two thousand women."

"One or two thousand was months ago. Now it's only a few hundred. But, I'm also curious, how did he take so many people?"

"Heard he found some abandoned subway cars underground and had the women enter them and then lifted them away."

Instantly, gasps of surprise filled the surroundings.

This strong?

Carrying the subway cars directly...

"Alright, the past is past. Most of the Vajra Rats here are dead, and not many Black-haired Rats are left. That strong person probably won't come back,"

A tall, burly man scanned the crowd and said slowly, "The Rat King is missing, likely dead as well. Elder Jin and the others are dead. As the saying goes, a nation can't go a day without a ruler, nor a house without a master. Even though only we are left in Rat City, it's best we choose a leader."

After the words fell, many people's minds became active.

Yes, with the Rat King and others, they obeyed without any thoughts.

But now it's different.

The Rat King and others are dead, so Rat City naturally falls into their hands.

"I agree with Brother Yong. Rat City is in chaos now. We need someone to step up and restore order." Someone smiled.

"Yes, although Rat City's conditions aren't the best, many still dream of entering. Among them, there are also those who fish in troubled waters. We must screen strictly."

"I agree with you all. But the question is, who should we choose to be our leader?"

The atmosphere suddenly quieted down.

After a while, a voice said, "Since Brother Yong suggested it, I think he should be our leader."

The man called Brother Yong showed a smug look but said, "Oh, how can that be? I was just suggesting, not really wanting to be chosen."

"Brother Yong, no need to be modest at this point."

"Right, in terms of skills, you are top-notch among us. For experience, no need to mention. You were here before the Rat King and others."

"Indeed, Brother Yong, aside from you, I can't think of a second choice."

"Really?"

At this moment, a discordant voice interrupted.

"In terms of skills, Boss Cui is also not bad. For experience, Boss Cui isn't much behind."

"Yes, just because this suggestion was made, doesn't mean we should choose hastily."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

The two main contenders stared at each other, full of hostility.

Seeing this, the others squinted their eyes.

Not only these two, they also wanted to compete for the leadership position.

But in terms of strength, compared to the two, there was indeed a gap.

"Rumble!"

Just then, the ground shook violently.

Everyone was caught off guard and nearly fell.

Before they could react, the tremors came again.

And continued ceaselessly.

"Wh-what's happening?" Someone held the wall and said in surprise, "An earthquake?"

"Could it be that person, returning?"

"Nonsense, it's the middle of the night, why would that guy come back?"

"Whether it's an earthquake or not, we need to get out first."

This statement gained everyone's approval, and they quickly escaped from the passage.

But as soon as they did, they were stunned.

In the darkness, countless pairs of blood-red eyes were rushing towards them, roaring.

In the distance, it seemed huge shadows were lurking.

Some eyes were as big as houses, some had dozens of eyes!

"Beast, the Beast Tide has erupted!"

Someone used all their strength to say.

"How, how could it be?"

Someone looked confused.

Out of the blue, how could the Beast Tide erupt?

If he knew this would happen, he wouldn't have returned tonight.

"What are you doing? Run!"

Those who regained their senses started running frantically in the opposite direction, some quickly returning to the tunnels.

In less than a minute, countless fierce beasts reached Rat City.

The buildings were like paper in front of the Beast Tide, collapsing at the slightest touch.

Screams erupted continuously.

And this scene was happening elsewhere too.
