Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Wax Lamp

After roaring, Li Xun hurriedly twisted the gasoline barrel, looked at the clothes and pants that were about to be burned, and poured the bucket into it.

'Boom'

The gasoline was stained with sparks, and in an instant it turned into a fiery dragon, rushed into the rat hole, and then scattered in all directions.

'Twitter'

Screams erupted, and countless rats fled in a hurry.

The fire dragon began to wreak havoc in the rat's nest, and as soon as it landed, it turned into a sea of fire.

The entrance of the cave was blazing, but Li Xun knew that this was just a delaying tactic.

The plan now is to find the materials as soon as possible and plug this rat hole, so that the rats here will never be able to come out. It's best to put a fire in it and then plug it up, and when the flames have used up all the oxygen inside, all the rats inside will be suffocated.

However, it is difficult to use what to plug this hole.

"Captain Lin, go and let everyone in, and let's figure out a way together. Li Xun hurriedly said to Lin Qingshan next to him.

"Good!"

Lin Qingshan received the order, turned around and ran back, shouting as he ran: "Come in, hurry up, come in." ”

Li Xun knew that his strength alone was limited after all, and only by finding a way together could he solve the problem of blocking the rat hole forever.

After a while, there were messy footsteps and angry scolding behind him.

Everyone came running in full gear.

Seeing so many aliens intruding, the sporadic rats immediately stopped the war and began to attack them instead.

But these sporadic rats have long ceased to pose a threat.

Dozens of fighters of the Siberian Tiger opened the way, slapped with marching shovels all the way, walked all the way, cleared all the way, and basically none survived.

"I heard that there is a problem that can't be solved?"

Lao Xu's voice came.

Li Xun pointed to the blazing rat hole and said, "See for yourself." ”

When everyone heard this, they rushed forward to check, and then they were all shocked.

Everyone was shocked by the large number of rats inside, which was terrible.

Lao Xu stood at the entrance of the cave, also looked carefully, and said suspiciously: "No, it's impossible, how much food does such a huge swarm of rats have to consume in a day? Even if they eat themselves, it's not enough, it can't grow into such a huge group." ”

It's good that Lao Xu didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, everyone was stunned.

This is true, it is impossible for the rat colony to survive and expand by eating its own population, which is against the laws of nature.

Xu Qianyun suppressed the fear in her heart, approached the entrance of the cave, wore a night vision device, and looked into the cave, she suddenly exclaimed: "What is that, bones...... There are a lot of bones by the river. ”

"What bones?" Li Xun took a night vision device from the hands of the soldiers who entered the cave behind him and looked at it.

I saw that there was an underground river seventy or eighty meters away from the entrance of the cave, and both ends of the underground river were submerged in the hole, and the middle section was exposed.

On the shore near the surface of the water, there are countless animal bones piled up densely, and they are almost piled up into a hill.

Judging from the shape, most of them are the bones of cattle and sheep, but there are also other animals.

Li Xun said to himself: "It's actually cattle and sheep, it's strange, how can there be cattle and sheep here, how did so many cattle and sheep enter the cave?"

Apparently there is no answer.

It's hard for everyone else to understand, too.

Xiaobao listened, but couldn't help but shout: "Niu Yang? Brother Xun, I know!"

"What do you know?" Li Xun hurriedly asked.

"Xujiashan Village! Doesn't Xujiashan Village throw so many cattle and sheep into the Longtan River every month? It's the dragon python, it's the dragon python that raises them! The Longtan River and this underground river are connected!"

Li Xun's face changed drastically, and the group of people around him gasped when they heard it.

Is the dragon python raising a swarm of rats?

Why do dragon pythons raise rat swarms?

Thinking about everything that happened before, the answer seems to be very clear, it is to deal with Li Xun and these intruders one day, or simply to deal with Li Xun.

And if it is really the dragon python that is raising this swarm of rats, then many problems will be solved.

For example, why do rats gather in this cave?

For example, why the rat population has become so large.

Because there's food, there's water, and there's an abundance of food.

Of course, because of the innate ferocious nature of Gu rats, coupled with the expansion of the population, no amount of food is enough, and they will still eat each other when they don't have enough food.

Lao Xu was stunned, and muttered again: "This problem is serious!"

If we kill or catch the big snake this time, this group of rats will lose their source of food, and maybe it will spread, which will be a disaster for the surrounding ecology, and besides, they are not afraid of people, and they will eat people!"

"We have to find a way to destroy them!" Li Xun took off his night vision device and said a sentence fiercely.

This was agreed by almost everyone present.

Yes, these rats have to be exterminated.

Half of it is for the ecological balance of the neighborhood, and the other half is for the safety of their own people's lives.

In fact, it stands to reason that when you walk here, you have already passed through the rat hole.

However, the most important question is, if you walk through this mouse hole, it is still a maze, and what if you walk through this mouse hole, it is Dragon City?

What are you going to do when you come back? You're still going to have to deal with these rats.

Lao Xu hurriedly turned around: "Oh, if only this hole could be plugged up and the rats suffocated inside." ”

"How can it be blocked? It's all granite, and there is no dirt or gravel, otherwise you can use glue mixed with crushed earth to make rammed earth, which is stronger than cement!" the old cow sighed.

Lao Xu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Isn't there rat droppings everywhere here?" Mix rat droppings and glue into a mud-like substance, and after drying, it will be more viscous and stronger than cement. ”

Lin Qingshan said: "But the glue we are equipped with is limited. There was glue in everyone's supplies, but that was to prevent the boots from cracking during the march and using them to get wet. Even if there are dozens of people here, there is not much glue. This hole is more than a meter. ”

Lao Xu said: "Enough is enough, you are bringing super glue, dilute it, dilute it with urine." Also, there is sulfuric acid in the battery in the strong flashlight, and the sulfuric acid is also mixed into it, which is a strong acid mud. It is very corrosive, and it is stronger, and the main thing is that rats will be afraid of the smell of sulfuric acid, they will not come near this wall. ”

The crowd was a little disgusted to hear it, making a wall out of rat droppings?

But this is a real critical moment of life and death, so there is no objection to it.

"But, to be on the safe side, we'll have to add something else to it. Lao Xu said again.

The crowd asked, "What is it?"

Lao Xu didn't speak, but looked at the marching shovel they were holding.

……

After a while, Lin Qingshan unloaded the surface of his marching shovel in distress, smashed the shovel into a 'roll' with a big stone, and said, "Is it really useful?"

Lao Xu looked at the rat feces everywhere, spat into it and said, "It's definitely no problem." The strong acid mud is mixed with these iron coils, iron cylinders, and iron rods, which is stronger than reinforced concrete. Even if the rat goes against the sky, it will definitely not be able to come out, and besides, we have a second step plan. ”

Li Xun guarded the mouse hole, stuffed a piece of gasoline-soaked clothes into it, looked at the igniting fire, and said to the mouse hiding far away: "Hurry up, don't waste gasoline." ”

Lin Qingshan scolded: "Damn, it's just a few shovels." ”

Several soldiers immediately contributed their marching shovels and began to smash them with stones.

These marching shovels are made of all-body metal, which is tough and strong. Once it is made into an iron roll, it is almost impossible to break it by manpower.

And blocking the hole is only the first step, it is a delaying strategy. The real solution is to exterminate all the rats here.

The only way to do this is to burn the oxygen in this space. According to Lao Niu's radar detection, it has been determined that this is a closed space, and there is no gap between the two ends of the underground river.

There are about 6,000 square meters, but there is only one hole where rats can enter.

This is a godsend and should not be missed.

Such a space is not big, but it is not small. If the fire is sufficient, it will burn all the oxygen here in one day.

After the oxygen runs out, it only takes a few minutes for all the rats here to die.

But this also requires the creation of something that has a large flame but burns slowly, and this kind of thing is called a wax lamp.

The wax lamp is made of candle material, but its characteristics are much stronger than that of candles, the flame is the size of a gas stove, but it can continue to burn and will not be extinguished for almost several weeks.

Very tough.

The Siberian Tiger people make this wax lamp, and they first take out the candles they carry in their backpacks, find a few water bottles, and burn all the candles into wax juice.

These are specially made candles, and a candle can burn for two or three days without extinguishing.

The can is then cut open and packed into a honeycomb structure with plastic paper packed with compressed biscuits mixed with cardboard.

Finally, the wax is poured into the cans and soaked in the honeycomb plastic paper and cardboard. After the wax juice dries, the wax lamp is formed.

After lighting it with a lighter, Xu Qianyun, who had never seen a wax lamp, exclaimed: "Such a big fire?"

However, I saw that the flame above the simple wax lamp made of canned food was like a gas stove, and it was getting bigger and bigger.

On top of that, it's so long-lasting, and it takes advantage of the wax's properties so that it stays burning. There is a can shell in the way, and as long as the plastic paper and cardboard inside are not burned out, the fire will not be extinguished at all.

It will take at least a week or two to wait for the materials inside to burn out.
