Mutant Rats take over Birmingham City, UK

Birmingham City has descended into chaos as a horde of mutant rats-reportedly the size of small dogs and showing signs of heightened intelligence-have overrun the streets, subways, and even major landmarks. What began as isolated sightings in the derelict areas of the city has now become a full-blown takeover, with authorities struggling to contain the rapidly breeding population. These genetically warped rodents, some bearing strange luminescent patterns and an uncanny coordination, have disrupted transportation, forced businesses to shutter, and triggered a mass exodus from the city center. Scientists believe illegal genetic experiments or chemical leaks in the canal system may have sparked the mutation, but with the swarm now nesting deep beneath the city, the battle for Birmingham has become a terrifying urban siege with no clear end in sight.
