My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 407

Kisha took a deep, shaky breath as she struggled to think.

She couldn’t recall facing such a problem in her past life, nor had she ever anticipated it occurring in this one.

The mere mention of it sent a wave of horror through her, more terrifying than anything she had ever experienced.

If a cave-in were to occur, half of their base could collapse into the rubble and tumble into the sewers, where they would undoubtedly be consumed by the zombies lurking below.

This wasn’t the time for her to fret about the wall or the looming second wave of zombies; even without those threats, their lives were perpetually at risk.

The constant fear of the undead in the city’s sewer system was an ever-present danger.

She needed to come up with a solution quickly.

Ding!

[New Mission Available!]

[Sudden Hidden Mission: SSS Class "The Sewer’s Pest Cleanup!"]

[Description: The sewers have always been a haven for pests in every city, where they lurk and thrive. However, in City B, rats are no longer the only creatures dwelling in the shadows; zombies and mutant rats have also taken up residence.

If the situation isn’t addressed quickly, the mutant rats could launch attacks on the survivors, spreading diseases that could ultimately claim lives, even without a single bite.

Mission Requirement: Ensure that every single zombie and mutant rat in the sewers is eliminated to prevent this issue from arising again. It’s crucial to guarantee that the sewers beneath the base remain secure and uncompromised. The mission needs to be completed within 7 days.

Mission Completion: 10 Gachapon Draws, 5 Resource Crates, 50,000 Points, a mass of Venadium and Iron Meteriorite, and a New Sewer System with Gas Preservation Blueprint from World 943746.

Mission Failure: Automatically failing the A-Class Mission "Planting and Harvesting," the C-Class Mission "The Philanthropist," A Class Mission "Commander of a Thousand", A Class Mission "Base’s Expansion!" and the S-Class Mission "Taking Nest for 30 Days."]

Kisha’s breath caught in her throat once more as another hidden mission emerged.

She sensed that any new task at this moment could only signal trouble, confirming that they were in an incredibly dangerous situation.

The system provided additional details that deepened their concern: not only were there zombies lurking in the sewers, but mutant rats as well.

From what Kisha recalled, mutant rats were among the deadliest of creatures.

Unlike their ordinary counterparts, these mutated pests posed a significant threat; their urine could cause deadly leptospirosis if it came into contact with open wounds or was ingested but that was only the issue with the ordinary rats.

Now, however, even without direct contact with or ingestion of their urine, prolonged exposure to the smell of their urine alone could be lethal.

With the mutant rats residing just beneath the base, everyone in the vicinity might have been exposed to these dangers.

The length of that exposure remained unknown, adding to the growing sense of urgency.

The longer they were exposed, the more their organs would begin to fail, ultimately leading to death from organ failure.

The worst part is that if the mutant rats decided to venture above ground, their bites could infect normal humans, turning them into zombies without them even realizing it.

Even the superhumans wouldn’t escape unscathed, as these bites contain toxins that could lead to both short- and long-term paralysis.

Some of the rats could even mutate to develop toxins in their bodies that was deadlier than a black mamba’s venom, depending on their environment.

However, the scientists in her previous life never managed to understand which specific conditions lead to the emergence of such mutant rats.

What was most disturbing was that these rats had grown larger than cats, nearly the size of small dogs. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

This increase in size also doubled their ferocity; they would behave as if rabid, attacking anyone in sight like ravenous beasts.

The most alarming aspect of these mutant rats is that not all of them have grown larger; some have become faster.

This speed is more concerning than the size of the larger rats because they can strike without warning.

While the bigger rats tend to devour their victims entirely—an adult rat can consume a whole human—the smaller ones often attack in groups.
