Mount & Blade: Wind of War - Chapter 590
c577 Skaven Invasion
This is a world full of desolation and poisonous gas. Fat and huge rats are crawling around, greedily looking for everything that can be used as food.
In a dilapidated factory, a hunchbacked man with sores and pustules on his face is secretly watching the outside world.
Then, he saw a huge rat wearing strange half-body armor, standing up, holding a weapon similar to a crossbow in its hand.
Because it sensed the man’s gaze, the rat suddenly turned its head and looked at the factory, but there was nothing behind the window.
At this moment, the man had shrunk back under the window, curled up his body, and dared not move at all.
Once, this was also a beautiful and rich world.
Human beings have entered the era of industrial civilization, with extremely abundant materials. Most people in the world can eat well, wear warm clothes, and enjoy material and spiritual pleasure.
However, for some unknown reason, a nuclear war suddenly broke out.
Countries fired nuclear bombs at each other, and in a short period of time, the civilization developed over thousands of years was completely wiped out from the world.
However, human weapons of destruction can only destroy their own civilization in the end.
After the human beings in this world died out, within a few decades of development, trees gradually flourished, and animals and plants began to recover. Although there was some radiation and alienation, they were still recovering as a whole, except for humans.
Because in these decades, when a small number of remaining humans were still hiding in the shelter to avoid the poisonous gas and radiation from the outside world, the rats in the sewers mutated and evolved under high-intensity radiation. They grew in size, gradually became larger, and their wisdom improved. Under the leadership of the rat leader, they began to seize the remaining human civilization heritage and hunted humans crazily.
The species that were once not worth mentioning have gradually driven out the old overlords.
Now in the factory, this hunchbacked man with sores and pustules on his face is the last human in this world. He survived to the end because of luck, but he didn’t know it himself. He is still trying to find other possible survivors.
“Huh, those demon rats should have gone far away.”
After a long breath, the man barely straightened up and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, the door of the factory was kicked open with a bang.
Squeak, squeak, and the next moment, accompanied by the terrifying sound of rats, a shrill scream turned into the last wail of the human beings in this world.
“Is this the last human in this world? What a pity, I will never be able to eat such delicious meat again.”
The ratman warrior wearing half-body armor and holding a crossbow-like weapon took a human arm from the mouth of a shepherd rat, and then bit it and swallowed it like biting sugarcane, licking his red tongue, feeling a little unsatisfied.
Just when it killed the last human, it turned around and wanted to leave.
“Squeak!”
The ratman warrior was gently bitten on the tail, and a shepherd rat tried to pull it, as if it wanted to take it to somewhere.
A moment later, under the guidance of the shepherd rat, the ratman warrior found a green gap in the hidden corner of the factory… It was like a wound in this world.
Facing this thing he had never seen before, the ratman warrior seemed to be a little afraid and hesitant.
It thought about it, sent a shepherd mouse in, and then pulled it back. The shepherd mouse that entered the green gap and was pulled back was intact. Seeing this, the rat warrior walked in cautiously, and the next moment, it came to a strange world.
The rain in the sky kept falling, and there was thick earth under his feet, and there was green grass on the ground.
The rat warrior, who was drenched in rain and stunned for a long time, used his palm to guide the rain into his mouth.
“This is, clean water without any radiation and toxins!? So sweet, so sweet, it’s really delicious.”
“Is this land that has not been irradiated?”
“Is this grass root that has not been irradiated? It’s delicious, so delicious.” Throwing away the weapon in his hand that he originally regarded as his life, he pulled out the grass growing on the ground one by one and swallowed it. The rat warrior’s eyes were filled with inexplicable tears, but it was mixed in the rain, making it unclear.
At this time, there was a sudden barking sound in his ears, and some completely incomprehensible words.
The rat warrior was stunned when he heard the voice. He slowly turned his head and saw two peasant couples holding forks, watching him vigilantly.
“Human?”
“The virus of the world, human!”
Gnashing his teeth, his eyes turned dark and bloody because of extreme hatred.
The rat warrior suddenly stood up and pounced, picked up the weapon he had just thrown on the ground, and then aimed at the couple and pulled the trigger.
Two tiny green lights shot at the peasant couple who didn’t react, and then they fell down with their heads raised. The shepherd rats ran up to bite and devour them. An old and skinny old dog pounced on him to protect his owner, but was also shot dead by the rat warrior.
After killing two people and one dog, the rat warrior slowly walked to a high place and saw the farm with smoke rising in the distance below, and a terrifying smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“Humans are the most cruel, worthless, terrifying, and terrible poison in the world. They will only bring destruction to this originally beautiful world.
Therefore, seeing them, killing them, and exterminating them is the lifelong pursuit of us Skaven, and it is also the responsibility given to us by the world. ”
“Some rats asked me, when humans were the world hegemons, they did not exterminate us, why should we exterminate them now?
When humans were the world hegemons? Didn’t they really want to exterminate us completely? No, according to the literature, they have made such efforts more than once, but they were all unsuccessful. Now that we are the world hegemons, is there anything wrong with exterminating them in turn? Obviously not, this is the fairest thing. ”
