Chapter 433: Big Harvest

All they needed to do now was eliminate the Rabbits in front of them with the fewest possible casualties.

The Survivors in the rear kept their eyes fixed on the terrifying group of Rabbits, waiting for the opportune moment to counterattack.

Now, seeing the Rabbits gathered together, surging like a black tide and emitting bloodcurdling screeches, a spark of hope ignited in the Survivors’ eyes.

Without even needing Qu Baoguo’s command, the rocket launcher operators, who had long been ready, swiftly took action.

Rocket after rocket was precisely loaded into the launchers, and with deafening roars, they streaked towards the mutated Rabbit horde, trailing long flames.

The rockets exploded amidst the Rabbit horde, and the immense impact blasted the Rabbits scattering in all directions.

Thick smoke instantly permeated the air, its acrid smell choking everyone. The Rabbits’ screams intertwined, and the previously dense Rabbit horde instantly descended into chaos.

Some Rabbits were blown to pieces, struggling in pain on the ground; others were startled and fled frantically in all directions.

But the number of Rabbits was simply too great; even after such a fierce bombardment, many still charged out of the smoke, rushing towards the Survivors’ defensive line regardless of everything.

The Survivors did not retreat in the slightest; they continued to operate the rocket launchers, firing round after round into the Rabbit horde.

On the smoke-filled battlefield, dust swirled.

The Mutated Rabbit Leader, agile but clearly panicked, darted left and right in the chaos.

Most of the rockets, with sharp whistling sounds, flew towards it like rain.

Each rocket, trailing a long fiery tail, sliced through the air, converging on the Mutated Rabbit Leader with clear targets.

The explosions’ fire shot skyward, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day.

The Mutated Rabbit Leader’s figure flickered in and out of sight amidst the fire and smoke; it leaped and dodged nimbly, each time narrowly avoiding direct hits from the rockets.

However, there were simply too many rockets, and the shockwaves from the explosions came one after another, continuously impacting the Mutated Rabbit Leader.

Its fur was scorched in several places, and its ears were grazed by shrapnel, with blood slowly oozing out.

But it still did not give up, its crimson eyes revealing tenacity and unyielding spirit.

Under the dense rocket attack, the ground was blasted into pits, and the rising dust made the Mutated Rabbit Leader cough repeatedly.

Its stamina gradually depleted with each dodge, and its movements were no longer as agile as they were initially.

However, the instinct for survival made it burst forth with its last strength, sprinting with all its might towards Qu Baoguo’s side, with rockets continuously exploding behind it.

The Giant Rabbit Leader, with red eyes after being injured, once again exuded an aura of anger and danger.

Qu Baoguo stood tall and straight, his gaze firm, without any intention of retreating. The sharp weapon in his hand glinted with a cold light in the dim illumination.

The Giant Rabbit Leader let out a deafening roar, and while dodging an over-the-shoulder throw, it lunged fiercely at Qu Baoguo, stirring up a strong gust of air.

Qu Baoguo’s feet were firmly planted on the ground, as if rooted, his eyes locked onto the Giant Rabbit Leader’s movements.

Just as the Giant Rabbit Leader was about to pounce, he nimbly dodged to the side, cleverly avoiding the fierce blow.

Immediately, Qu Baoguo, using the momentum of his turn, leaped high, plunging his weapon fiercely into the Giant Rabbit Leader’s back.

The Giant Rabbit Leader felt the attack from behind and quickly twisted its massive body. Qu Baoguo’s strike only grazed its original fur, expanding an existing wound.

But Qu Baoguo did not get discouraged; after landing, he quickly adjusted his posture and attacked again.

His steps were agile, constantly circling the Giant Rabbit Leader, looking for openings, sometimes feinting, sometimes launching a surprise attack.

Although injured, the Giant Rabbit Leader remained ferocious, continuously swinging its claws in retaliation.

For a time, one man and one beast were locked in a fierce struggle. The Mutated Rabbit Leader’s wounds were increasing, but it still relentlessly pursued Qu Baoguo, disregarding its own injuries, occasionally taking out his gun and firing a shot at the Mutated Rabbit Leader’s eyes.

Gradually, fine beads of sweat appeared on Qu Baoguo’s forehead, but he gritted his teeth, his eyes showing a desperate resolve.

But ‘a lean camel is still bigger than a horse’ was not an empty saying; even though the Mutated Rabbit Leader was injured by rockets, it was still far stronger than Qu Baoguo.

His stamina had reached its limit, his legs felt heavy as lead, and each dodge exhausted all his strength.

The Mutated Rabbit Leader’s sharp claws continuously swung, creating gusts of wind, almost tearing his skin several times.

His arms were marked with streaks of blood, which snaked down his arms and dripped onto the dusty ground.

Just as he was about to give out, the other Survivors finished dealing with the other mutated Rabbits and all came over to confront the Mutated Rabbit Leader.

This time was different; facing two or three dozen guns, and being injured, the Mutated Rabbit Leader felt threatened and no longer focused on him, instead developing the idea of escaping.

Its movements were still agile, but facing the encirclement of the crowd, under so many guns, it gradually became a bit strained.

The Survivors cooperated seamlessly; some were responsible for attracting its attention, while others seized the opportunity to launch attacks.

For a time, gunshots rang out loudly, all guns aimed at the Mutated Rabbit Leader, firing madly.

Bullets, like deadly specters, howled as they cut through the air, rushing towards the Mutated Rabbit Leader. The dense hail of bullets wove into an impenetrable net of death, leaving it with no escape.

The Mutated Rabbit Leader’s eyes widened, filled with terror and unwillingness.

It leaped and dodged desperately, trying to escape the ever-present threat of death, but everything was in vain.

Its small body appeared so tiny and helpless amidst the hail of bullets.

Moreover, continuous bullets directly struck its body, causing more and more bullet holes to appear on its body.

Blood gushed from the wounds, making its already blood-stained fur even more crimson.

It let out a series of shrill, agonizing screams, its voice filled with pain and despair.

Finally, the Mutated Rabbit Leader’s body swayed, unable to support itself any longer, and slowly collapsed under the muzzles of the crowd’s guns.

It lay on the ground, its limbs twitching slightly, but its eyes remained stubbornly open, as if still unwilling to accept the mockery of fate, and after one last look at Qu Baoguo, it breathed its last.

As the last trace of life faded, its eyes slowly closed, and the surrounding gunshots gradually ceased, leaving only an eerie silence, along with the acrid smell of gunpowder and a faint scent of blood in the air.

Looking at the fallen Mutated Rabbit Leader and the group of hunted mutated Rabbits, this time’s harvest was abundant. Everyone disregarded their injuries and began to clean up the battlefield.

They had to process these Rabbits as quickly as possible, taking back all the edible meat, intact fur, and anything useful.
