Doomsday Roulette

This change is visible to the naked eye.

When they first arrived in the Secret Realm, these rats were weak. Even though Ye Zhongming had asked the Rat King to provide 'high-quality' subordinates, the undeniable fact was that, aside from those mutant rats whose genetic variations combined the strengths of their predecessors, the rest of the mutant rats had individual abilities that were weaker than other mutated life forms of the same level.

In fact, those individuals that made up the majority were not only weak but significantly so.

However, now, this situation was undergoing a dramatic transformation.

The first point was that these rats had become bolder and no longer hesitated like before.

When the mutated rats were not hungry, it was difficult for them to exhibit the ferocity characteristic of other mutated life forms, even in group actions. They would only choose to attack when their target was very weak and few in number.

Of course, this situation would change when they were hungry; to survive, mutant rats would turn bloody and bloodthirsty.

At the beginning in the Secret Realm, these rats would still behave this way, but what they didn’t know was that within the small devices fixed on them, one of the structures contained some stimulants and similar drugs. With Ye Zhongming’s control, these devices began injecting drugs into the bodies of these mutant rats.

They became irritable and frenzied, facing opponents with reckless abandon.

One victory after another, along with numerous delicious feasts, made these rats bold even without the stimulation of the stimulants.

Evolving life forms are always in a state of change; the initial cowardice of the mutant rats stemmed from their nature and their status as prey in Ying City for so long. Over time, they developed this behavior.

But once their ferocity was unleashed, winning every battle, their innate cruel genes erupted. Now, sometimes they didn’t even need Ye Zhongming’s orders; when they encountered monsters, they would charge forward on their own.

The second change was that their evolution level was accelerating.

With the increased number of monsters killed, the mutant rats absorbed more energy, naturally speeding up their evolution.

This change was even more pronounced among those 'cannon fodder' mutant rats of relatively lower level, with some of the standout cannon fodder having evolved twice since the days of falling sand began!

As for those with slightly higher evolution levels, they were also evolving, just not as noticeably as the lower-level ones.

Throughout this process, the small devices continued to play a role, even a crucial one.

One of the hidden agents inside, the most core one, was some gene drugs developed by Liu Zhenghong. These were not the main component, but rather auxiliary.

The effect of these agents was to give these mutant rats a greater probability of having a good evolutionary direction during their evolution, reflecting a more powerful unique state.

Due to their numbers and the fact that these agents were merely auxiliary, many of the rats did not achieve the expected effects, but the number of successes was significantly higher.

It was believed that in the continued battles to come, under the process of survival of the fittest, the mutant rat legion would undergo a reshuffle, and those who were not strong would gradually be eliminated.

The third change was in the 'thinking' of these rats.

Within the small device collaboratively developed and manufactured by Liu Zhenghong, Le Da Yuan, and Ye Zhongming, there was an agent that was continuously injected slowly into the bodies of these mutant rats, with the sole effect of making these creatures more 'obedient.'

In essence, these agents were the greatest purpose of this device and also represented the cloud summit gene technology.

They slowly altered the genes of the mutant rats, allowing them to break free from the confines of being 'rats' to some extent and escape the control of the Rat King, ultimately becoming the true 'Cloud Summit War Rat Legion.'
