"Sang Town, a force gathered by the police, numbering about 3,500 people, just yesterday at 7:10 a.m., investigators around N City found that the entire village and town had been slaughtered, and the methods were extremely cruel" In the hall of the Yuan District Government Council in Yuancheng, a political councilor was reporting a massacre that occurred in the north of Yuancheng yesterday, and other political councilors were sitting in the hall, including Zheng Hai and Zhao Minghui.

"More than 3,000 people, none of them survived?" Zheng Hai took the information and said in surprise: "How is this possible, who can kill all these more than 3,000 people in one night." Even if a large army gathered, it would not be possible to slaughter them all silently. ”

"The scouts did not observe any traces of the passing of the army, but instead found the footprints of many wild beasts at the scene, combined with the fact that more than 3,000 people were stabbed to death or torn to death by sharp objects, we suspect that it may have been done by the rat people."

The "rat man" was full of surprise. One of the councilors immediately shouted, "Impossible, although the nezumi are extremely aggressive beasts, how many nezumi would it take to slaughter more than 3,000 people?" ”

"This is just a preliminary analysis," Yang Qing, the head of Suzaku District, said: "It is also shown from the report that although there are many traces of the footprints of beasts similar to rat people at the scene, after analysis, there will not be more than three hundred, but the strange thing is that there seems to be no trace of resistance at the scene." ”

"What you mean is that those rat people were killed unilaterally, and the people in Sang Town did not resist and were all slaughtered directly." Zhao Minghui, the head of Qinglong District, stared at the report on the table and said: "In this case, there is a possibility that the people in Sang Town are in a coma or other irresistible state. ”

"I thought of a possibility," said Wu Hang, the head of Baihu District, "and someone drugged the water source of Sang Town, causing the entire village and town to fall into a coma, and then the rat people attacked and slaughtered the entire village and town." ”

As soon as Wu Hang's words came out, everyone was shocked, because if this was really the case, then it meant that someone was manipulating the rat man to do this. "You mean, someone first stunned the people of Mulberry with a drug, and then lured hundreds of nezumi to attack the entire village. But this is obviously impossible, not to mention that there is not a single rat population around here that can reach three or four hundred, let alone guide them to slaughter a place. ”

"This is just my guess" Wu Hang frowned lightly and said: "But I can't think of other possibilities other than that, after all, it is thousands of lives, and they disappeared without a sound, which is simply extremely weird." ”

Others discussed the possibility in their own way, some thought it was possible, and some thought it was simply a fantasy.

"Okay, let's not discuss this possibility yet" As the deputy city lord of Yuancheng, as soon as Zheng Hai opened his mouth, everyone immediately stopped discussing. "Now the first thing we have to consider is whether this matter will threaten our Yuan City. You know, Mulberry Town is only two mountain bags away from us, and this matter has now spread in Yuancheng, and if we can't give an explanation immediately, it may cause panic. ”

Zheng Hai's words hit the point, and Zhang Huawei, the head of Xuanwu District, said: "Not only Yuancheng, but many forces in N City are very worried about this matter, and they are worried that their forces will become the next Sang Town. Right now, alone, there are four forces that have requested to be transferred to Yancheng for refuge. After all, we have built a lot of walls in Yuancheng now, and even if it is really a rat attack, we can defend it according to the wall. ”

"There are four forces asking for asylum?" Zhao Minghui was a little puzzled and said: "Haven't the forces in that area of N City been trying their best to oppose our Yuancheng's intervention, and even threatened to form an alliance to confront us, why did they come over and ask for asylum now?" ”

Zheng Hai replied when he heard this: "Their so-called alliance will always only stay in words, and the forces in that area of N City all have their own evil intentions, even if they can stand on the united front, it will only be temporary." ”

"So what's next, agree to their transfer?" Zhang Huawei said: "As far as I know, although those four forces are small, they have a total of nearly 15,000 people, and our Yuancheng cannot accommodate so many people for the time being. ”

"It's obviously impossible to let them move into Yuancheng," Zheng Hai thought for a long time and said, "But we must find out about the slaughter of Sangzhen, which is not only related to the safety of tens of thousands of residents of Yuancheng, but also a good time for us to intervene in N City." ”

The entire area of N City is not comparable to the range of Wonsan, that area is relatively flat, and the area is several times that of Wonsan, but the population on their side is even more exaggerated.

Although since the Great Crossing took place, people have been dying in that area of N City, and it is tens of thousands of people who have died. But that was two months before the Great Crossing took place, and after the number of people dropped sharply by more than ten times, there were only more than 100,000 or 200,000 people who remained in the N City, and these people occupied a vast flat area, even if they couldn't have fish and meat to eat every day like Yuancheng, but with the wild vegetables and fruits in that area, they could still sustain their lives.

So half a year after the Great Crossing took place, there are very few cases of a large number of deaths like before. And this time, the Sangzhen tragedy actually happened, which not only shocked and frightened the forces in the entire N City, but also affected the Yuancheng side.

"First send a few more investigation teams to investigate the situation around Sang Town, obtain more information, and then negotiate with the forces in N City, so that they can prepare for protection, and if there is a wall, the wall will be strengthened, and if it is not, it will be quickly established, and we can also send people to help them."

"Ah Hai, do you want to send people to the barren forest to investigate the situation?" Wu Hang looked at Zheng Hai and asked, "It is said that someone has encountered rat people many times in that location in the barren forest, although the number is not very large, but there is only one place in this surrounding area where hundreds of rat people can gather." ”

The barren forest is a steep slope forest area between Wonsan and N City, and the trees are not too dense, but they are not sparse either. It's just that the terrain of that forest area is very steep, and few people can pass through it, so it is called a barren forest. In the past, some people who ventured into the forest area in order to survive hunting, but few survived, and those who came back also said that the mountain roads in that area were very difficult to walk, and they accidentally fell into the valley.

Therefore, not many people know about this area of the barren forest, so Wu Hangcai suspects that there are a large number of rat people hiding there.

"Rats are cunning and agile hunters, and if they do hide there, it will be a great disadvantage for us." Wu Hang continued.

"Just send a few good people to investigate around the barren forest first, don't go deeper. Now we don't have many troops in Yuancheng for the time being, Liao Huan and they went to Yancheng to rescue Lin Yue a few days ago, and they don't know when they will come back, we have to pay attention to the situation for the time being, and we can't let other forces know that we don't have many troops in Yuancheng now. ”

"All this has to be dealt with separately when the army returns"

The meeting in the hall was still going on, and at the same time, deep in the barren forest in the northern part of Wonsan, several one-meter-tall rat men were shuttling through the forest, each of them carrying a delicate wooden spear in their hands, and each wooden spear was stained with dark black blood. It was clear that the blood had been on the wooden spear for a long time.

The nezumi walked through the forest to a steep rock wall, and after rounding a steep slope, they burrowed into a cave.

Torches were planted on the left and right sides of the cave, illuminating the tunnel, and after passing through the tunnel, these rat-men came to this spacious cave space. There were hundreds of rat people walking around in the cave space to do various things, occasionally a few rat men grinning at each other because of the collision, at this time, a sharp whistle came, and those rats stopped their anger and continued to do their own things.

If anyone came to the cave now, they would be amazed at what these nezumi were doing, because they were working together, some were mutilating human corpses, some were making tools out of wood, some were lighting fires, and they were using sticks to intersperse pieces of meat for barbecue.

Originally, the nezumi did not know how to use fire, but here, it shows a different situation, not only can the nezumi use fire, but also know how to set up a grill and cook the meat before eating.

And all of this comes from one source. In the cave space, on a large stone pedestal made of stones, there is a "rat man" with loose fur.

This "nezumi" is about 1.5 meters tall, and compared to those who are about 1 meter tall in the cave, this "nezumi" can be said to be a giant. And another difference about this nezumi is that its fur is very loose, and its facial features look very strange, and it feels like it has been put together.

If someone were standing here right now, they would be able to recognize at a glance that this "rat man" was completely disguised by a human. But the nezumi were unrecognizable, and although they had a rudimentary understanding, they still didn't have enough brain capacity to distinguish the subtle differences between fake nezumi and real nezumi.

And that "nezumi" seized this loophole, successfully disguised himself as a member of the rat crowd, and even became the leader of these hundreds of rat men.

A few nezumi who had just returned from outside passed through the many other nezumi and came to the leader of the "nezumi", "chattering" about something.

When the leader of the "nezumi" heard this, he immediately raised his head, then picked up the whistle and blew a rhythmic sharp whistle.

Suddenly, all the nezumi in the cave stopped their work and looked at the nezumi leader.
