Chapter 516: Chapter 428, Demon Rat Migration_1
[Congratulations on your successful survival.]
[Lord’s Challenge Task is now available!]
[Everyone can choose to participate in the challenge task, and those who complete the task will receive generous rewards!]
[Challenge task: Demon Rat Migration]
[Task content: Resist the Demon Rat attacks]
[Task description: In three days, the Demon Rat Legion will reappear on this continent, carrying plague and disease. They will attack the territory of those who accept the task. Territories that fail will be occupied by the Demon Rats and will not disappear once the task ends.]
A task is available.
It has been a long time since a challenge task has been issued.
Seemingly, an attack of the Demon Rats occurred in a previous system task.
This time, it’s the Demon Rats again.
It seems that the Demon Rats are considered a race on this continent.
From the task introduction, it seems this task differs from the previous ones.
The attack will occur three days from now, and if you fail to resist the Demon Rat invasion, your territory will be occupied by the Demon Rats.
The Demon Rats possessing a territory will not disappear after the battle ends.
If the Demon Rats survive, it will pose a threat to the surrounding powers.
Therefore, if anyone fails to resist the Demon Rats, not only will the transmigrators lose their territory, but the surrounding original resident villages will also suffer.
Rats might not always be a strong species.
But they reproduce fast.
In a few months, their numbers will have doubled, and they carry the plague and the Black Death.
In this era, the power of these two contagious diseases is frightening.
This is what makes the Demon Rats terrifying.
[Do you accept the challenge task!]
Once the task introduction ended, an option immediately appeared to accept it.
Forced tasks were cancelled some time ago, and now all the tasks issued by the system are optional.
Accepting and completing the challenge will yield substantial rewards, but also the danger of death.
If one does not accept, they can avoid the danger in the task, but the gap in strength between them and other transmigrators will widen.
Eventually, they will either be eliminated or absorbed.
Fang Hao didn’t hesitate. He directly chose to accept.
[Successfully accepted the challenge task, Demon Rat Migration]
[Task Countdown: 2 days 59 hours 55 minutes.]
In his territory, he has enough soldiers, and the undead skeletons are not afraid of the diseases carried by the Demon Rats. Of course it made sense to accept.
Moreover, the rewards for each completed challenge task have always been pretty decent.
After accepting the task.
The others in the Territory Channel, Zhang Bin and the rest, began discussing.
Zhang Bin: “Should we accept this task?”
Xu Yang: “I think it’s better to accept. The task rewards are usually pretty good.”
Fu Lei: “I have many human villages here. If a plague occurs, it could affect Pruell City too.”
Zhang Bin: “It’s the same in my area as well. There are too many human villages. If the Demon Rats appear, it’ll be impossible to control.”
Dong Jiayue: “Let’s see what Brother Hao says.”
Zhang Bin: “Right, we should follow the leader.”
While reading their conversation, Fang Hao was also contemplating this issue.
The territories of Dong Jiayue and Kong Yong are not bad. They are quite distant from the original inhabitants’ city and are guarded by the undead army nearby.
However, managing the territories of Zhang Bin, Fu Lei, and Xu Yang would be difficult.
The surrounding areas are all human villages and cities. If the rats spread the plague among the original inhabitants, it could be very difficult to manage.
After some thought, Fang Hao said, “Dong Jiayue and Kong Yong, accept the task. I will arrange for the undead army near your territories to help defend. The others, refrain from taking the task to avoid complications.”
“Okay, boss.”
“Got it, Brother Hao …”
Everyone replied in agreement.
Nobody expressed any disagreement after Fang Hao made the final decision.
Meanwhile, private messages for Fang Hao also came in.
It was from Dong Jiayue.
“Brother Hao, I have five subordinate transmigrators in my territory. I want them to participate in the task too,” Dong Jiayue said.
In recent days, the number of cities subordinate to Dong Jiayue’s territory has been expanding.
Including the two female stars given to Dong Jiayue last time, three more transmigrators have become part of her subordinate cities.
Fang Hao also understood her intentions.
It had been a while since a challenge task appeared.
Dong Jiayue wanted to use this opportunity to rapidly advance.
“Yes, I will notify Heijian about this. Just be careful of infectious diseases on your own. If you get sick, it won’t be easy to deal with,” Fang Hao warned.
“Sure, thank you, Brother Hao.” Dong Jiayue immediately replied.
After finishing speaking to Dong Jiayue.
Fang Hao ate a piece of fruit handed to his mouth.
He then reopened the regional channel to see what everyone else was discussing.
“This task can be taken up by anyone willing. I refuse, not knowing who will catch a disease. If one catches it, it could mean death for all.”
“The Demon Rats are probably similar to the previous time, carrying a virus with a certain probability. Just be mindful to burn the bodies and stay away from water sources to avoid problems.”
“It’s easier said than done, everything is under control until it isn’t.”
“Indeed, I’ve already decided not to participate in this activity. I’ve barely survived up till now, and I won’t miss out on this one reward.”
“That seems reasonable. We can participate in the next challenge.”
“A group of wimps afraid of solving this.”
“I dare you, I hardly believe that you dare to eat shit.”
“I don’t believe it either…”
In the channel, everyone was discussing the Demon Rat task.
People who’ve survived till now have developed their territories onto a certain scale and have some troops.
If it were an ordinary challenge, perhaps there would be more participants. However, the disclosure of plague and Black Death deterred many people.
