The dozen or so ratmen sent out by Ge Ye ran out of the cave excitedly, and then ran all the way to a boulder on the periphery of the barren forest, hiding behind this boulder, and could see that around the barren forest, there was a group of people gathered, about thirty or forty people, who seemed to be assigning tasks to each other.

"Friends of Xi Yuzhen, you should go to the road on the left, and remember to look for those places where there are caves, because those rat people usually hide in caves to survive. But also remember one thing, pay attention to concealment, the detection ability of the rat people is far beyond us, if you accidentally expose it, then you will only have to wait for death. ”

Among the more than thirty people, a middle-aged man carrying a backpack assigned tasks to the people around him: "Friends of Huaizhang Town, you enter from the mountain road on the right, and you also pay attention to finding the cave and paying attention to concealment. We, the people of Muhua City, will go down the mountain road in the middle, and in addition, we will leave three or four people waiting here. The search time is two hours, and after two hours, we will gather here, and the time to gather and stay is half an hour, and if the people still do not arrive after half an hour, we will evacuate directly. ”

The more than 30 people gathered here are actually the people of the dozen or so forces in the area of N City, and after they learned that Sang Town was slaughtered, they also immediately organized countermeasures, and they also suspected that there would be rat people hiding in the barren forest, so they each sent a dozen people to investigate.

There are three main forces of people gathered here, Muhua City, Huaizhang Town, and Xiyu Town. Muhua City is a relatively large force, with a population of about 20,000 people, although it is not as powerful as Yuan City, it is also one of the largest forces within the scope of N City.

Huaizhang Town and Xiyu Town are the same as Sang Town, they belong to that kind of small force, with a population of between 3,000 and 5,000. These two towns were originally in their own place and did not have any intersection with other towns, but after being slaughtered from Sang Town, they immediately moved closer to Muhua City, because their power was too small, and they were not far from Sang Town, so they hoped to get help from Muhua City.

Mu Huacheng is also willing to help these two towns, on the one hand, it is very beneficial to them to be able to absorb the forces of the two towns, and on the other hand, Mu Huacheng is also very worried about the slaughter of Sang Town, so he will send people to investigate everywhere anyway, and if he investigates with Huaizhang Town and Xiyu Town, it can save a lot of effort.

"Okay, that's the rough arrangement." The middle-aged man said and took out four walkie-talkies, and said: "For this time, the city lord attaches great importance to this barren forest investigation, and also takes out these extremely precious walkie-talkies, now everyone takes one, keeps communication, and can rescue each other in case of accidents." I know that all of you here are good at your town. We should not have too many people in this investigation, so we will send good people to investigate. I also hope that there will be no accidents, so I would like to ask everyone again to stay safe."

Everyone nodded and understood, and they also took the middle-aged man's instructions to heart. Then they each picked up their walkie-talkies and went in their own direction.

Xi Yuzhen took the lead by a young man, about twenty years old, who didn't look very conspicuous, but his eyes made people feel like he was staring at people all the time, and sometimes even made people think that he could see people through.

"Uncle Li" When the young man was about to set off, he suddenly turned his head to the middle-aged man and said, "Do you think it's possible, we have been discovered by the rat people?" ”

The middle-aged man called Uncle Li was stunned when he heard this, frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "It's unlikely, we're only on the periphery of the barren forest now, and it's impossible for those rat people to fill all the barren forests with dark sentinels." Besides, those rat people don't have that much intelligence to plug in the sentry, and they only patrol their own doors a few times at most. Haotian, don't worry too much"

The young man was speechless, nodded, and continued to lead his people to inquire.

After watching the young man leave, Uncle Li turned to a few people beside him and said, "You guys just stay here first, and if there is any accident, notify us immediately." ”

When the people heard this, they immediately nodded yes.

After arranging everything, Uncle Li took a few people to climb up the mountain road in the middle.

After all three teams had set out, the few who remained were looking for a place to sit down, and they walked around for a while, and found a nearby boulder that was good for resting, so they walked over to climb it.

However, at this moment, more than a dozen nezumi suddenly flew out and pounced on these people, biting or stabbing them to death in an instant. When the walkie-talkie saw the nezumi, he subconsciously called for help through the walkie-talkie, and then before he could press the button to make the call, a wooden spear stabbed them in the throat.

After more than a dozen rat men killed these people in an instant, one of them was relatively tall and chirped a few times at the surrounding ones, and the rat men immediately understood, dragged the corpses of the dead people, and ran towards the direction of the cave.

Although the nezumi are petite, they are not weak, and two nezumi can easily drag a person's corpse and run away.

Generally speaking, Nezumi will not drag food back to their burrows when they have enough food. However, at the behest leader's orders, the nezumi would still drag the dead human corpses back to the cave. Ordinary nezumi don't know why the nezumi leader is doing this, but they do, as long as they do it.

A dozen nezumi split up to move the corpses back, leaving only a few nezumi left.

The tallest nezumi barked a few times at the remaining nezumi, and then the nezumi did not separate again, but ran in the direction of the mountain road on the right.

If Lin Yue had witnessed the scene of the rat men hunting humans here just now, he would definitely be extremely surprised, because he would have found that the attack methods of these rat men had also become rhythmic and orderly. Instead of just pounce and bite like before, some ratmen are responsible for attracting attention, some are attacking from a distance, and some are responsible for melee attacks. When attacking, they will also hide their weaknesses so that they will not be counterattacked by others. And after the attack, whether it is successful or not, it will immediately change direction and attack the other one, and their partners will be responsible for filling its position.

If you look at the way you fight, it's a formation entirely. The rat man would master the formation, which was completely incredible, whether it was in this life or in the previous life, Lin Yue had never seen it. Of course, he didn't know what was going on in the barren forest yet.

Exploring the mountain road on the left were the people of Xiyu Town, led by a young man named Gu Haotian, a young man who looked ordinary, but who could help his partner a lot every time he was in danger. Gu Haotian also has a lot of credit for the establishment of Xiyu Town, and at present, he is also the deputy mayor of Xiyu Town. This time, the investigation of the barren forest was very important, and he also felt that he had to come and investigate it himself.

"Haotian, it's just an investigation, in fact, you don't have to come at all." Next to Gu Haotian was a tall man, he glanced at Gu Haotian and said, "Now our Xiyu Town is also in a mess, you should stay there to deal with affairs." ”

Shaking his head, Gu Haotian said, "It's useless, if I stay there, it will only make things more messy." ”

When the tall man heard this, he even stopped. After hesitating for a moment, he followed Gu Haotian's footsteps again and said, "Are you afraid that Wang Fu is still wary of you?" ”

Gu Haotian took a breath when he heard this, and said: "I can't say it, Uncle Wang doesn't know why, as if he always thought that I would take away his position as the mayor of the town, restricting my actions everywhere, and the plans I proposed before and have begun to implement have been directly suppressed and withdrawn by him." I don't want to complain about anything, I just feel like I just need to do my part. ”

The tall man paused for a long time when he heard this, and then said: "Actually, I also think that Wang Fu is not suitable to be the mayor of the town at all, although he was indeed a police chief before, after the big crossing happened, it was Uncle Gu who really organized people and did a good job of defense." So far, he has only known how to use his power tricks, and he has not really done anything. ”

"Okay" Gu Haotian glanced at the tall man and said, "Although Uncle Wang has some control in terms of power, you can't help but say that he is really thinking about the people of the entire Xiyu Town. Without him, our entire village would have ceased to exist a long time ago.

The tall man shook his head, disapproving, but didn't say anything more.

"It's good to hide," Gu Haotian suddenly waved his hand and said, "There is movement ahead." ”

After that, more than a dozen people immediately became vigilant, and followed Gu Haotian to hide in a nearby bush, and then slowly moved, looking into the distance.

In the distance, I saw a few rat people running fast, and they were dragging several human corpses in their hands. These rats were far away from Gu Haotian, almost a hillside in between, and I don't know how Gu Haotian found out.

"Sure enough, there are rat people, I know that there must be something strange in this barren forest," someone next to Gu Haotian whispered.

The tall man stared into the distance, and after taking a closer look, he suddenly said in surprise: "The corpses dragged by those rat people are not those people from Muhua City who came with us?" ”

Gu Haotian and the others were shocked when they heard this, looked at it, and found that this was really the case. "Oh no, they might have spotted us as soon as we entered the wilderness."

As soon as Gu Haotian's voice fell, the walkie-talkie in his hand suddenly rustled, followed by a sharp scream: "Ah, help"

The voice lasted for a while and then stopped, Gu Haotian looked at the walkie-talkie with wide eyes, and muttered, "It's people from Huaizhang Town, they also had an accident."
