Everyone just needed to wait quietly for dawn to break the grip of fear, but no one expected a rat to suddenly appear, eliciting a piercing scream from a palace maid, and then, hordes of mutants swarmed towards the garden where they were.
Especially terrifying was the fact that the rats would actively attack them, tearing at their flesh. The situation was now beyond salvation; it seemed the rats had consumed flesh they shouldn't have, leading to their mutation, so those who were bitten by the rats would turn into the undead just like those bitten by the monsters. In no time at all, they began to mutate into walking corpses. So it was bite for bite until only Su He, Su Mei, Little Yuanzi, and two guards remained, staunchly blockading the bedroom door from the intruders.
