Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Come on, if you dare, bite me!"Squeak, squeak, squeak... squeak, squeak, squeak..." In the darkness, rats dashed toward Ji Wei from the ground. Just hearing the sound was enough to guess—there were quite a few of them, at least a dozen or twenty. Ji Wei’s nerves instantly went taut. She leaned against the wall, her eyes fixated on those gray-black little creatures without blinking. Suddenly, a rat leaped at her face with incredible speed. Luckily, Ji Wei reacted quickly, raising her hand to violently fling the rat away. Before she could catch her breath, another rat lunged forward, its sharp teeth sinking into her arm. Ji Wei let out a piercing scream, raised her arm, and slammed the rat heavily against the wall. The rat screeched miserably before it fell from her arm. The bite on her arm was deep, and blood was flowing out incessantly. The scent of blood filled the wine cellar in an instant, mixing with the aroma of wine and creating an oddly tempting smell. The rats, which had hesitated earlier, were immediately invigorated by the scent, excitedly squeaking as they surged toward Ji Wei once again. Ji Wei, drenched in sweat, ignored the pain in her arm. She needed to stay calm. With this many rats and no weapons in hand, dealing with these creatures wouldn’t be easy. Suddenly, Ji Wei’s gaze locked onto the wine rack ahead, and her eyes lit up. She rushed over swiftly, grabbed a wine bottle, and smashed it against the wall without hesitation. The bottle shattered with a crash, and dark red liquid splattered everywhere. The pungent scent of wine filled the air. Quickly, Ji Wei threw another bottle, then picked up the parts of the bottle neck that hadn’t shattered. She pointed the sharp glass edges toward the rats. "Come on, if you’ve got the guts, bite me!" Ji Wei yelled at the rats in the darkness. If this had been her former self, she would have already been scared half to death by these rats. But now, she was someone who had died once before. If she wasn’t ruthless, she wouldn’t survive. She absolutely refused to accept fate this time! Maybe it was Ji Wei’s commanding tone, or perhaps the rats feared the sharp glass in her hands. They squeaked nervously and jittered, but none dared to pounce. Ji Wei gasped for air, leaning against the wall. Her disheveled hair spilled around her, beads of sweat soaked her bangs, clinging tightly to her pale cheeks. She didn’t dare to relax for a moment, her entire body tense, her eyes fixed on the restless creatures lurking in the darkness. Ordinary rats wouldn’t typically attack humans. However, these rodents had clearly been tormented by hunger for far too long, their sanity long gone. Driven purely by primal instincts, they attacked the only source of food they could find—Ji Wei. Finally, a few bold rats lunged at her again. Sёarch* The Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Ah—!" Ji Wei screamed, frantically swinging the sharp wine bottle in her hand. One rat, then another, was stabbed by the glass, their shrieks filling the air as they fell to the ground. Blood from the rats splattered across Ji Wei’s face... The sight of their fellow rats being killed instantly enraged the rest. Squeaking furiously, they all charged at Ji Wei... —— Gu Moqian pushed open the door of the last private room, his gaze falling on a group of terrified people inside. His expression grew progressively colder. He had searched every single private room himself, yet there was still no sign of Ji Wei. Closing the door to the room, Gu Moqian turned, finding Chen Ke standing quietly behind him at some point. Chen Ke lowered his head and reported, "Mr. Gu, my apologies, but our team still hasn’t found Miss Ji’s whereabouts..." Gu Moqian’s eyes were icy, his voice chillingly emotionless, so cold it was terrifying: "Keep searching! Even if we have to turn this place upside down, we must find her!"
