Chapter 31: The Rat King
As soon as Lei Tiantian screamed, several girls in the room stomped their feet, and Xiaohui Xiaolu shouted nervously: "Where is it?" ”
To say that the women in our line are basically heroines who have seen the world, and the contestants who have not changed their color when Mount Tai collapses in their faces, but girls are afraid of mice It seems to be a natural surname.
In the midst of the confusion, an emaciated rat staggered out from under the table, and at the screams of the woman, ran to the door in a panic, crawled over the threshold and fled.
Lei Tiantian said with a palpitation: "I'm scared to death." She casually glanced out and suddenly shouted again, "There's still one outside the door." ”
Wang Shuisheng laughed and said, "Silly girl, what's so scary about mice? ”
Ah Po said: "That's right, the rat is still your vampire's uncle." ”
We followed Lei Tiantian's gaze, and we were all slightly taken aback, there were not only rats outside the door, but also quite a few, about a dozen, they formed a team, and quickly ran towards the opposite cliff, we were not far from the sea at this time, the cliff was facing the sea, about a few hundred meters high.
The group involuntarily came to the door, and Xiao Lu suddenly covered his mouth with his hand and said, "There are a lot of them over there!" ”
Needless to say, we were all taken aback at the moment, and we saw that on the opposite cliff, thousands of rats gathered like dark waves, and they merged with the black rock when they did not move, and they were climbing to the top of the rock collectively, like the black tide slowly rising, almost covering the entire mountainside.
Seeing this scene, even we were stunned, and no one knew what to say, and it took a long time for Ye Zi to mutter, "What are they going to do?" ”
Before she finished speaking, the first mouse that climbed to the top of the mountain jumped without hesitation, and threw herself into the sea from the high cliff, Lei Tiantian said "ah" again, pulled Lao Lei's arm and said, "Can it still live?" ”
Lao Lei said: "Mice can't swim, and if they fall down at such a high place, even a fish will have to fall and faint." ”
"It's going to kill itself?"
As we spoke, the second mouse that climbed the cliff jumped down like the first, and before we could react, the third one was also martyred.
Ah Po counted in his mouth: "Fourth and fifth...... Damn, it's been 12 jumps in a row, are they also in a sweatshop? ”
Bailey smiled when he saw our surprise: "Haven't you heard of a mouse jumping into the sea?" ”
We: "Rats jumping into the sea?" ”
Bailey said: "This is nothing new to us, once or several times a year, sometimes a few thousand, sometimes tens of thousands. ”
Lei Tian said sweetly: "Why do they do this? ”
Bailey smiled bitterly: "Who knows, in Africa, no one cares about human life, let alone rats?" ”
"If only I could find someone to ask." Lei Tiantian said thoughtfully.
She inadvertently reminded one of us that Gao Daquan reached out to stop a mouse that was running in front of us, and shouted, "Hey! ”
When the mouse saw him, he hurriedly stood up, and a trace of doubt flashed in his black eyes, and said, "Squeak? ”
Gao Daquan said: "Why are you jumping into the sea?" ”
The little mouse had only been able to walk for a few days, sitting there like a round walnut, hearing Gao Daquan ask, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he adjusted his mood before saying: "Squeak, squeak, squeak-"
The more Gao Daquan listened, the heavier his face became: "There is such a thing?" ”
We hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Gao Daquan condensed and said: "It said that because their rat family reproduces too fast, the food on the mainland is not enough to feed all their rats, so every year a large number of rats choose to commit suicide so that their children and grandchildren can live." ”
When we heard it, we were surprised and gloomy, although the mouse did not leave a good impression, but at this moment, everyone was also concerned.
Gao Daquan pointed to the little mouse and said, "You want to jump like your size?" ”
The little mouse said proudly: "Squeak! ”
Gao Daquan said to us: "It said that it was voluntary, and it wanted to give up the chance to survive to its younger siblings. ”
"It's pathetic!" Lei Tiantian couldn't care about being scared anymore at this time, squatted down and gently touched the little mouse's head, and said to Gao Daquan: "Can you make them stop jumping?" ”
Lao Lei sighed and said, "If you don't die out a part, all the rats won't survive." ”
Wushuang said: "Rats know how to cherish resources, which shows that humans are the real mice." ”
Bailey said: "This is also something that can't be helped, this year because of the plunder of the Jungle King, the food is even more scarce, and even the rats are involved." "It's strange that he sees tall and all-round communication with animals, but we have words first, and it's rare that he can hold back and not ask.
Xiao Hui suddenly said: "You can't let them jump into the sea like this!" ”
Gao Daquan said: "What can you do?" ”
Xiaohui turned to all of us and said, "Believe it or not, I have dreamed of rats, a lot of mice!" ”
I said, "So what? ”
Xiaohui said: "Don't you understand? Rather than let them die in vain, why can't they do something for us? ”
It's the first time I've heard of rats being associated with "sacrifice", and said, "You mean to let them deal with the primordial demons?" ”
Xiaohui said: "Do you remember what the bitter demon said? He said that when all my abilities were restored, I could predict the future - yesterday I dreamed of leaves. ”
I suddenly said, "So you guess it's her who wants to see us?" ”
Xiaohui smiled: "Not really, even if I don't have that dream, I can guess that it is her, but I did dream of leaves and mice." ”
"You think your form of foreseeing the future is dreaming?"
"Yes, I dreamed that on a rainy day, a lot of rats were with us, and our emotions were very excited, as if it was related to victory."
"But what can a rat do?"
Xiaohui said: "A mouse can't do anything, but a thousand and ten thousand are different, what is the mouse best at?" ”
I wondered, "Sabotage? ”
Xiaohui smiled: "Doesn't the Yuan Demon have a big base now?" ”
I nodded, "They can infiltrate the other party's base." ”
Xiaohui corrected me and said, "It's not infiltration, it's impact!" She turned to Gao Daquan and said, "Hurry up and stop them from continuing to jump into the sea." ”
Gao Daquan squatted down and said to the little mouse, "What's your name?" ”
"Squeak......
Gao Daquan said to us, "It's called Lily. ”
Xiao Green said: "It's a girl, huh?" ”
Gao Daquan said to Lily very seriously: "Lily, now I want you to go to your Rat King and tell him to stop your current actions immediately, I have another task for you - now, I am your new king." ”
Lily looked at him suspiciously, and Gao Daquan ordered loudly, "Go! ”
"Squeak!" Lily immediately ran away.
I said, "Can foreign rats listen to you?" ”
Gao Daquan said: "I can't get ...... for sure"
At this time, the rats were committing collective suicide, they rushed to the edge of the cliff in large waves, jumped fearlessly to death, and the calm sea surface seemed to be slapped by a dense raindrop, crackling, Lei Tiantian said with tears in his eyes: "They are so pitiful." ”
As Lily's petite figure ran up the cliff, the rat swarm seemed to have changed, and the rats jumping into the sea actually really stopped, and after about ten minutes, more than a dozen mice came unhurriedly along the same road where Lily went, and the sides were all strong gray mice, and the stars were holding the moon and generally clustered a white bearded mouse with white fur in front of us, and the two gray mice were vigilantly in front of the white mouse, their eyes sparkling and staring at the actions of each of us.
I couldn't help but laugh, and Ye Zi whispered, "What's wrong with you?" ”
I said to her, "Do you think those two look like Captain and Reeve?" ”
Captain and Reeve: "......"
The white-haired rat calmly pushed aside the rats, came in front of the tall body, and said in a deep voice: "Squeak? ”
Gao Daquan bowed his head slightly and said: "Fortunately, I will get straight to the point if I have anything to say, I want your people to help the human race and do me a favor." ”
The white-haired mouse spread out its paws in disbelief and said, "Squeak? ”
Gao Daquan said: "I know that human beings usually don't treat you well, but this time it's not simple to help them, you jumped into the sea so that future generations can live, but we are going to fail this time, whether it is humans or you rats, everyone has to finish playing, sell me face." ”
The Rat King said, "Squeak-"
Gao Daquan said to Xiaohui: "It asked what do you want them to do?" ”
Xiaohui said: "Let it summon as many of its kind as possible, we will attack the base of the Jungle King, you tell him, once the time is ripe for the Jungle King to attack first, although the target is human, but they are still unlucky, you tell it, if it agrees, be prepared to sacrifice many people." ”
Gao Daquan waved his hand and said, "It won't understand this." He said to the rat king, "I want your people to storm the human military base, and you will die more than you will jump into the sea." ”
The Rat King squeaked again, and Gao Daquan said, "When did it ask?" ”
Xiaohui said unexpectedly: "It agreed so quickly? ”
Gao Daquan dusted off his shabby trench coat and said conceitedly: "Obviously, I still have a certain prestige in the eyes of animals." ”
But Xiaohui made a difficulty: "But I don't know what the best time is." ”
I said, "Not now?" ”
Xiaohui said: "I'm afraid not, I'm afraid that if I can't get close to the base, I will be killed, and I think timing is the key to this operation." ”
I reminded her, "You said you still dreamed of raining? ”
Xiao Hui paused, and suddenly said to Lao Lei: "Old Man Lei, this is probably related to you - you said that if it rains, the time for you to launch an attack can be doubled, and if we rush up like this, Fengshen will definitely not stand idly by, we need you to contain him from the other side of the base when it rains!" ”
Old Lei said inexplicably: "You mean to let me cover a group of rats?" ”
Gao Daquan pointed at the Rat King excitedly and said, "They don't even want their lives!" ”
Thor was silent, and then said, "Okay, then who will tell me when it will rain?" ”
Bailey said cautiously: "Africa has always had little rain, and it depends on luck." ”
Gao Daquan asked the Rat King, "Can you wait?" ”
The Rat King said, "Squeak squeak!" ”
"It said it could wait for three days at most, and if it dragged on for a long time without being beaten by others, they would starve to death by themselves."
Ye Zi said: "I knew I should have brought more food." ”
Bailey smiled bitterly: "Even then, our victims are no less than rats. ”
Gao Daquan said angrily: "But you don't have to send the victims to death, you must at least let these 'warriors' eat before they go to the battlefield, right?" ”
The Rat King seemed to understand their conversation, and said tragically, "Squeak! ”
Gao Daquan sighed: "It says they can wait, and they promise not to disturb humans." ”
Xiaohui said: "That's it, no matter if it rains or not in three days, the general offensive will begin!" ”
Gao Daquan solemnly said to the Rat King: "Thank you on my behalf, the warriors." ”
The Rat King nodded and left with his bodyguards.
I looked at its back and said, "What a visionary mouse." ”
Sun Manlou said: "Do we have to choose a rainy day?" If it's a sunny day, I can play with Daqo by land and air. ”
Lao Lei said: "I think it is very necessary, when it rains, I can not only shorten the attack time, but also increase the power, and the most important thing, the wind god will not be able to figure out my location, unless he blows away the clouds in the sky." ”
"Then what have we been doing for the past three days, just waiting?"
Xiaohui stretched her waist and smiled: "I'm going to sleep, maybe there is a good idea in my dream." ”
Wushuang looked at Xiaohui's back and said, "I didn't expect her biggest skill to sleep." ”
……
I walked side by side with Ye Zi on a small path, after a night's rest, I was full of energy, Xiaohui and they were already studying specific matters, the two of us idlers just took the opportunity to come out to relax, none of the four guards followed, with me, they were too lazy to go out in person, although they didn't know my details, but obviously even if they told them now that I was a monster, they would not be surprised, so the four people and bears were sleeping, although they couldn't sleep well, at least they could save energy - the conditions in Africa were worse than I imaginedOur situation has also reached the point of several meters and cooking.
Ye Zi had already bought a large amount of food from Latin America in advance to be sent here, but with the deterioration of the global situation, people with food in their hands are reluctant to sell anymore, and the difference from the past is that there is no black market to buy, the black market is based on believing that they can still survive, when the real world crisis comes, people are precarious, the more people who used to be good at the black market, the tighter the hands.
So Ye Zi sighed all the way, she became a real idler, as long as she had money, she could always help, this time with the exception.
Ye Zi shook his hand and said as he walked: "He Anyi, have you thought about it, this battle will be fought to the end, if the human race wins, your identity will definitely not be saved." ”
"So what?"
Ye Zi sighed: "Don't say it so easily, I can understand the narrowness of human beings, I can say anything when I need you, and when they are safe, it is hard to guarantee that they will not turn around and deal with you as an alien." ”
I rolled my eyes and said, "You don't look like you're human." ”
Ye Zi smiled bitterly: "Seriously, for the first time, I felt that this word was full of irony. ”
