I’m A Wasteland Giant-Chapter 88 - : 88: The Plan to Burn Down Changyang City!

“Our country’s terrain is higher in the west and lower in the east, higher in the north and lower in the south, with rivers generally running from high to low. The River of Forgetfulness, for example, flows from Shuchuan. If we follow the river upstream, we can also reach Shuchuan!”

In the command center, Li Youcai expressed his opinion. 𝙛𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝓮𝒃𝓷𝓸𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Zhuge Shui shook his head, saying, “Let’s stick to the established route and travel on land!”

The reason Li Youcai said this was because he had learned here that the bugs were afraid of water. free(w)ebnovel.com

He continued: “Master Shui, I’m not questioning your plan, but we need to adapt to circumstances, right? When we made the plans earlier, nobody thought water could be a problem, but now, in this city of mountains and rivers, it’s proven that there are no bugs in the water. It will be really safe for us to take the water route!”

Li Yi didn’t object much this time, but he did voice his concern: “If we are going by water, finding a boat would be a big problem. We’ve done our survey before.

The boats by the lakeside have been taken away by locals a long time ago. Making new ones may not be that easy, right?”

“What’s there to fear?”

Li Youcai said, “With so many superpowered people among us, we can’t possibly have a problem with building some boats!”

“What about the power source? We can’t just row the boats, and that would be too strenuous…”

“We can remove an engine from a car, and make a propeller…”

“Ha ha, a propeller for a wooden boat?”

Seeing that Li Yi was arguing with him again, Li Youcai didn’t persist this time.

“North?”

Li Youcai said, “In the middle, there’s a stretch of road infested with rats…’ “These rats are not like giant tigers. One pee from Du Gang can easily scare them away…”

Changyang City, the capital of Changyang Province and adjacent to Shuchuan, is a necessary route for the northern migration of survivors from the south.

But at this moment, the city was occupied by rats.

Changyang City was originally a grain-producing area with a national grain warehouse, and suffered from rat infestation years ago.

With the advent of the apocalypse, these rats have thrived.

Threatening humans, attacking humans, growing as big as cows – these are the new characteristics of these rats.

If that were all, it wouldn’t be a problem. However, rats never appear singly; their numbers can range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. Some experts even suspect that there are more rats born than eaten by the bugs…

The entire Changyang City, being the closest to Shuchuan, saw most of its population move en masse the day after the Arctic Circle issued their notification. This left the city open to rats hiding underground.

In just a few days, with plenty of food, the presence of dark matter which could cause mutations in any life form, and no supervision, these rats were close to establishing a rat kingdom.

“Indeed, these rats are a problem. In just two days, they have multiplied to such an extent…”

Zhuge Shui shook his head and said, “It’s not just their high reproductive rate, there have always been a large number of them, mostly hiding underground.

This evolution has increased their size, so they seem more numerous. Moreover, since there is no one controlling them, they have become bolder and dare to squirm up to the ground, leading to our current situation…”

When the initial plans were made, the people of Changyang City hadn’t left yet and everything was normal. But now, the situation had gotten worse!

“Are there any other problems?”

Seeing that these issues were being discussed openly by the group, Wang Dezhen posed the question directly.

Li Youcai shook his head and said, “According to the feedback from the Arctic Circle, only Changyang City has some anomalies. There are no problems in other places!”

“So, does that mean, once we pass through the Changyang City area, we can safely and smoothly reach Meimu Mountain?!”

‘Yes!”

Just as they were discussing this, someone outside the tent knocked on the door.

“Enter! ”

“Commander, there is an abnormal situation!”

The people inside exchanged glances, and Wang Dezhen quickly said, “Speak!”

The adjutant began to explain, “There is a situation in the water!”

Saying that, he played a video.

In the footage, a group of men and women had taken advantage of the sunset to take a bath and frolic in Lake Forgetfulness…

Before long, someone suddenly disappeared from the surface of the lake.

“The school of fish under the water has also mutated. These people were all dragged under!”

Sure enough, from time to time in the video, someone was dragged underwater amidst screams, while the surface of the water turned red with blood.

“Swim, swim fast!”

Watching the video, Li Yi uttered this advice.

However, a disappointing scene still unfolded. Among the twenty or so people who entered the water to play, all were dragged under the surface of the water, and none escaped back to shore.

In the final moment of the video, everyone finally saw the culprit under the water.

A fish full of tusks, the size of a shark!

“Is that a shark?”

“No, it’s a white-striped fish!”

The room fell silent.

White-striped fish are usually small fish, typically found in small rivers and ditches.

After a while, Liu Xingyu said, “Damn it, do they also have some giant providing them with energy? How did they grow so fast?”

“Liu Xingyu!”

Wang Dezhen suddenly frowned and shouted out.

Realizing he had misspoke, Liu Xingyu immediately shut his mouth.

Li Youcai took this opportunity to say, “It’s normal for them to grow like this. In such a great change in the world, wouldn’t it be strange if all other species evolved and only those in the water didn’t?”

He shook his head and sighed, “Since it’s like this, we might as well travel by land. If the white-striped fish is this big, I dare not imagine what other fish would turn into!”

He didn’t talk about building boats and taking the water route anymore. On land, if they encounter danger, they could at least fight it; if they take the water route and the boat breaks, everyone will become fish food.

“Alright, we’ll travel by land. Now, let’s discuss how to pass through Changyang City!”

Under the direction of Wang Dezhen, the group began to discuss the problem of Changyang City once more.

This time, it was Li Yi who opened the discussion, “I suggest we use a nuclear bomb to clear the way!”

Li Youcai mocked, “Oh, not afraid of radiation now, are you?”

Zhuge Shui chimed in at this point, “The Arctic seems to suggest only using nuclear bombs when absolutely necessary. After all, this is our own territory. If one day the bugs disappear, we will still need to clean up this mess…” Just then, the sound of an explosion came from the distance once again.

The group stood up reflexively.

The adjutant quickly reported, “It’s Du Gang. The spatial channel this time is not far from our temporary camp…”

Wang Dezhen nodded, “Understood, keep going!”

“Then use missiles!”

“No good, if we use missiles, the road will surely be destroyed. You really think our Road Warrior Corps can build roads?”

Indeed, the Road Warrior Corps can modify existing roads, but building new ones would be too time-consuming and labor-intensive.

In the end, after a unanimous discussion, the group came up with a plan.

“Burn down Changyang City!”
