D222, Rats
Leaving the forest does not mean that you have absolutely left the trees, but that there is a general boundary in your concept.
For Ren Hai, once he saw that there were no trees, and at a glance, there were no dense trees, and they were all low shrubs, he basically left the forest.
As for the others, maybe they follow the signs on the map, or they follow some signs in the real world.
Tonight's moon is a full moon, and it looks bright, and the brilliance of the surrounding stars is obscured by it.
As soon as Ren Hai came out of the forest, he found a place where the bushes were relatively dense and there was a clearing in the middle to sit down and rest.
Out of the forest, one day on foot, you will come across a mining area, this mining area is in the mountains, the resource storage is extremely rich, through the mining area, and then to an artificial forest, from the artificial forest in the middle of a straight road can directly reach the north gate of the West Gorge.
After planning the route a little and checking the surrounding situation, Ren Hai began to build a fire pit, and there were piles of dead branches around it, which were easy to clean up.
The flames were scorching, Ren Hai grabbed a pot in one hand, and a bucket of water in the other, and then quickly put the pot on the fire pit and added water.
A small half pot of water may be enough, so Ren Hai stopped, and then quickly threw a few processed turtledoves.
Tonight I want to stew turtle dove soup to drink, it is said that the turtle dove meat is quite delicious, Ren Hai has not eaten it so far, that is, when he was in the western version of the forest, he was lucky enough to catch a few, and he is going to taste it fresh today.
Since this is a stewed soup, then there is a point, the longer the time, the richer the soup, and the more flavorful it is, as long as the stewed soup, it must be more than four hours.
Ren Hai looked at the time, it was now more than seven o'clock, at the beginning of October, it was basically dark at more than seven o'clock in the southwest, Ren Hai roughly set a time, at half past eleven, drink soup and eat meat.
Putting the lid on the pot, Ren Hai began to continue reading, and waited until half past eleven before he came back to his senses and began to eat dinner......
The next day, after Ren Hai put out the fire, he began to hurry, expecting to be able to reach the mining area in a day, Ren Hai thought about setting off a little earlier, walking faster, striving for most of the day to reach the mining area, and then at night, directly rushed to Xixia City.
This distance was roughly calculated by Ren Hai in his mind, and according to his rough calculation of the speed of his journey for so long, although it will not be extremely accurate, it can finally make a big difference.
There was nothing special along the way, there were no groups of clones, that is, the clones of about 2,000 before, just some scattered clones and outcasts, as if everything had returned to normal, but Ren Hai still did not let his guard down.
Hurrying all the way, even at noon, Ren Hai did not stop, while eating some simple fast food, while hurrying, until in the afternoon, he saw the mountains in the distance.
The mountains are not high, but they are not low either, and Ren Hai can clearly see some figures, all of whom are working.
Ren Hai looked at the backs of these busy people, how could he not be one of them, among these living beings, the most were still ordinary people.
They stick to their posts, run around every day to survive, do what they should do, and then get paid according to their needs.
With a sigh, Ren Hai hurried towards the way to Xixia, full of rough men pushing mine carts, even though it was about to enter the cold winter, in this afternoon, he was still naked, and the bronzed skin on his body was greasy, and it reflected the light under the light.
No one came to take care of Ren Hai, and many people were far away from Ren Hai, neither the manager nor the laborer approached or asked.
In this area, since it is the only route to enter the West Gorge from the north, it is inevitable that people or convoys will pass by here, and they have become accustomed to mining here all year round.
What's more, but there are people who can cross the wasteland, and a few of them are ordinary people, especially the kind of people who are alone, often have extremely strong combat power, and they are even more unwilling to offend.
"Gold, gold has been dug up." In the mining area, in a mine about 500 meters to Ren Hai's left, there was an excited roar.
The crowd began to riot, all heading towards the source of the sound.
Ren Hai knows that the group of people who discovered the gold mine, in the future life, if there is no accident, the province will basically not worry about eating, which is also a small hope of the people working in these mining areas.
At the beginning, he was tempted by this kind of thing, but in the end he still did not go to work in the mining area, and still chose to do farm work.
Ren Hai shook his head, and then continued towards the south, the road in the mining area was difficult to be so straight like the plains, and it was very winding and unsightly.
When he was about to leave the mining area, Ren Hai suddenly heard a loud scream behind him, and Ren Hai's spirit suddenly became tense.
Quickly take out the hoe, this action has become very skillful, use your own sniping skills, find the right sniper point, and quickly hide.
This is the mining area, the sniper point is still easy to find, Ren Hai found a relatively large slope, and used Nian Meng to artificially set up a good sniper point on it, when this was done, the screams also became huge, and the entire mining area was full of screams.
Ren Hai was even more puzzled by this, and hurriedly observed, there was no trace of a clone in the distance, which was also Ren Hai's first conjecture when he heard the scream.
Combined with the clones he had encountered before, Ren Hai's first thought was whether the clones had begun to clean up on a small scale, how could there be so many clones in this southwest realm?
Just thinking of this, Ren Hai ruled out the idea, because there was no sign of a human cloning appearing.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Squeaky was lying in Ren Hai's pocket and was sleeping comfortably, but suddenly shook violently and woke up directly.
Ren Hai didn't pay attention to Squeak, for such an unreliable thing, Ren Hai was lazy and wasted excess energy.
At this time, Ren Hai noticed that the screams were the loudest at the location where he heard shouting to dig out the gold mine, and the sound was loud, directly breaking through the sky.
Ren Hai hurriedly aimed the scope at that position, when he looked closely, Ren Hai only felt that his scalp was numb, dense rats were scurrying around, and he could hardly see the surface exposed outside, the rats were next to each other, and most of them were directly crowded into a large pile, Ren Hai found that the screaming people gradually lost their voices.
The rats were eating those people, all of them were gone, I don't know if they were pressed under the rat pile, or they were eaten cleanly, Ren Hai clearly saw that there was still minced meat hanging on the rat's teeth.
The screams were gradually disappearing, and rats were already scattered in half of the mine, increasing at an alarming rate.
Just as Ren Hai was observing, he suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon, the eyes of the mouse were actually blood-red.
It's not that Ren Hai hasn't eaten mice before, and the mutated mouse Ren Hai doesn't know, but normal mice definitely don't have red eyes.
"Oh my god, why are there so many rats, hurry, you kill them." Squeak didn't know what was going on, but he was extremely curious about what was going on, and climbed out of Ren Hai's pocket directly, and when he saw the scene below, he was so frightened that he hurriedly got back into Ren Hai's pocket.
Not only that, but I also hope that Ren Hai can solve all these rats.
"You're not like a rat, and you actually asked me to kill your kind." Ren Hai was surprised by these mice, but even more surprised by the squeaky words.
"I'm not the same kind as them, we're the same kind, I tried, and I have reproductive isolation from the mice." Squeak squeak again.
"Then you didn't look for Xiaomi before? Are you willing to let me kill so much Xiaomi? Ren Hai raised his eyebrows, feeling that the squeak was really...
"Hurry up, I'm so scared." Squeak urged.
Ren Hai didn't think about it, he directly put away the hoe, and then quickly took out Nianmeng: "It's as if I'm not afraid." After saying that, he quickly moved down the slope.
Nian Meng suddenly inserted it into the stone, like a tofu, and then slowly descended, and when Ren Hai landed, there were already mice not far from Ren Hai.
After landing, Ren Hai drove at full speed and quickly ran towards the outside of the mining area, and within a while, Ren Hai fled from the mining area.
At this time, except for some rustling sounds in the mining area, there was no other sound, Ren Hai thought, those laborers in the mining area are probably dead.
Behind each of those people is a family, the pillar of the family is dead, and a family is abolished, these rats, how many families have been destroyed, Ren Hai can't imagine, and he doesn't have much time to think.
Running all the way to the artificial forest in the north of Xixia City, Ren Hai saw a straight road, which was not paved with large square blue bricks like in the city, but with a black substance that seemed to be unknown to what it was.
This kind of road is smelled with the nose, and there is a bad smell, there is no such road in the south, nor in the north, this kind of road is the first time I have seen it.
Just a slight glance, Ren Hai found a suitable position, directly sprinkled some vine seeds, and controlled the vines to wrap around the tree, dense, there are almost no gaps between the vines, even if there are some gaps, but it is not big, there should be no way for the rats to get through.
The range is not large, looking sideways, it is about a kilometer long, Ren Hai knows that these vines can only resist those rats for a moment, but this is enough.
Several plant walls were set up in a row, and Ren Hai ran quickly on the road, not daring to delay for a moment.
After a while, he felt a little tired, and Ren Hai controlled a plant and quickly levitated in the air with himself.
Around the end of the evening, Ren Hai finally saw a city standing there from a distance, looking extraordinarily magnificent, not inferior to Hanzhong, and even faintly more magnificent than Hanzhong.
Looking down from the air, due to Ren Hai's extremely fast speed, he had already thrown the rat swarm ten kilometers away, looking at it from such a distance, the dense gray and white covered the whole world, Ren Hai didn't dare to imagine how many rats there were.
Ren Hai only took a cursory glance, and hurriedly headed towards Xixia City, this time, he was not ready to be the same as before, he was ready to enter Xixia.
While hurrying, Ren Hai took out his mobile phone, near this Xixia City, there should be a signal.
Ren Hai saw that this was really the case, and directly dialed Wu Jianwen's mobile phone number.
It was just Didi for a while, and the call was connected.
"Brother Wen, there are a large number of rats in the northern mining area, think of a way." Ren Hai directly said the most important place.
"Have you arrived at the West Gorge? I already know what you said, do you want me to send a car to pick you up? Wu Jianwen didn't waste too much time.
"No, just open a gate for me when I get there." Ren Hai saw that he was about to arrive at Xixia, and hurriedly said.
Since Wu Jianwen knew about the rat colony in the north, he must have taken corresponding measures, and closing the city gate was the first thing to do.
This swarm of rats came suddenly, whether it was to get the news in advance, or to get the news now, it is impossible to abandon the entire West Gorge, not to mention, since there are people mining in the mining area, then it must be a sudden event, if you get the news in advance, you will definitely not send people to continue mining.
How can a huge city be fled if you want to? There is still a glimmer of hope in guarding the city gate, and he will abandon the city and flee directly, and it is estimated that it will all be cool.
Wu Jianwen must have thought of this.
While thinking about it, Ren Hai saw from a distance that the gate of the market town in the north of Xixia was opened, and Wu Jianwen was standing at the head of the crowd.
Compared with the last side, Ren Hai can obviously feel that Wu Jianwen is more mature and stable, standing there, he can feel an inexplicable pressure, which is a unique breath of the person in power, but it is only a little pressure, this pressure is still too far behind Zhou Wu.
Ren Hai didn't talk so much nonsense, and directly followed Wu Jianwen into the city gate.
Like other cities, Xixia City is divided into the main city and the market town, and the four market towns are Xihu in the north, Xishuang in the south, Xiliu in the east, and Xixi in the west.
At this time, they entered the northern market town of Xihu.
Entering the market town, Ren Hai found that a large number of troops were climbing the city wall, and every household was busy, not busy with their own affairs, but helping the army to carry arms and various supplies.
Ren Hai glanced at these materials, and found that most of them were artillery shells, explosives, incendiary bombs, and various gasoline, etc., all of which were weapons or materials that killed and injured a large area.
This is also aimed at such intensive measures, if it is only firearms, it is estimated that it will not be long before the walls are broken.
All the way from the main road of the market town, directly to the main city, the main city is also an army, but obviously not as strong as the market town, it seems that the market town is the main city.
This is the second line of defense, Ren Hai glanced at Wu Jianwen, and knew that Wu Jianwen regarded the city wall of the market town as the only line of defense, as for why the second line was set up in the main city, it should be some comfort in his heart, Ren Hai didn't dare to guess too much.
