Chapter 645: The Power of Faith

Presented in the tablet is an incredible scene that blends fairy tales and myths.

There is nothing more morale-boosting and fighting spirit than a race that worships gods and discovers that the gods have really come down to save them from despair.

With the frantic efforts of the rat clan to overdraft their lives, as well as the continuous input of tools and resources from humans, in just one month, the scale and complexity of Luminous City have increased by at least three or five times.

The exquisite three-dimensional shuttle pipeline and resource circulation system are enough to eclipse the most exquisite beehives and anthills; The use of various small rat-powered mechanical devices makes this underground city appear as busy and endless as a human metropolis.

The remaining four cities under construction, as a result of drawing on blank paper from scratch, are becoming more and more magical and technologically sophisticated.

If you don't know what's inside, when you see these miniature three-dimensional cities that lie dormant in the depths of the earth, but are faintly glowing, where would you think that this is the creation of the rat people, maybe it will be used as a base for aliens.

The continuous expansion of the territory and the great abundance of resources have greatly improved the growth environment and living conditions of the common rat people.

The caves where they lived, were transformed to be more spacious and dry; In the past, chocolates and puppy biscuits, which were once considered "gifts from the gods", are now not rich enough to be supplied in unlimited quantities, but they can be found in the "ruins" every once in a while.

The national teacher distributed all these things to the war heroes and the model workers in the city construction mission, and raised them, as well as their children, to be fat and content.

In the face of such peaks and turns, there is no reason why the rats should not become more religious.

They all firmly believe that they have passed the test of heaven in the war against the snake demons, and have received the blessing and protection of the gods—otherwise, how can they explain the endless "ruins" they have unearthed during this time, as well as the inexhaustible materials and technologies in the ruins?

Even if there are so many "ruins", it is still not enough to explain the problem, so what else can it be if it is not the creation of the gods, those steel and iron bones, rumbling and glittering war machines that follow the national teacher day and night?

As a result, the rats became more and more fanatical in the war to eliminate the insect tide.

The original fragile armor and rough bicycle spokes have been replaced with a lighter but stronger new plastic steel armor and an alloy knife as thin as a cicada's wings but extremely flexible. The firecrackers and gunpowder harvested from the ruins allow all Rat warriors to instantly transform into long-range thermal weapons; Those terrifying and indestructible steel puppets, crawler remote-controlled robots, will take the lead and charge ahead, helping them attack the city and destroy the withered and decayed.

Those more intelligent rat warriors have already figured out tactics similar to human "step-tank coordination" on their own, and know how to use tracked remote-controlled robots as the core to form fierce attack units.

Those relatively stupid rat warriors are often more religious and fanatical, and they don't need any tactics at all, as long as the tracked remote-controlled robots appear on the battlefield, they can inspire 100% ferocity and madness, roll up the stormy waves ten times better than the other side, and pounce towards the trembling insect tide.

The high-tech human beings and the fanatical and infinite strength of the rat clan have formed an absolute crushing situation against the wild mutant insects.

Whenever the rats clean up an underground space, the remotely controlled unmanned construction machinery will follow up in time, and set up monitoring probes, heat and vibration detectors and automatic alarm systems underground, in this way, to ensure the absolute safety of the underground in Lingshan City.

Up to now, the monitoring system all over the ground has been basically formed, which can ensure that there are no large-scale insect nests on the shallow surface.

Even in the deeper dungeons, there are still terrifying insect nests that can burst into a staggering number of insect waves, and it is difficult to bypass the human surveillance system and suddenly pour out of the ground.

According to the current emergency response plan, once a large-scale insect tide really rushes out of the way, the rat army will also go to stop it as soon as possible, even if they are really overwhelmed, at least they can hold out until the human army on the ground arrives in time.

Judging from the current anatomical research on the mutant insects, as well as the analysis of the battle video between them and the rat clan, as long as the human army can appear on the corresponding coordinates on the ground in time and complete the combat preparations, the so-called insect tide will die as many as possible, and it is impossible to survive the double crushing of the bullet storm and the steel torrent.

"The most dangerous phase has passed."

Chu Ge said to Bai Ye with a sigh of relief, "Now, the authorities are 100% sure that they can successfully solve the underground crisis without interfering with the economic construction of Lingshan City and the normal life of three million citizens, and even a single insect will not want to fly out of the palm of our hand."

"As for the rats, they have also survived a valuable civilization and achieved a new development.

"Although the details may not all be satisfactory, this is already the best result we can get, at least, the human and rat people are not fighting each other, but working together to protect the precious peace, I believe that whether you stand in the position of 'White Night of the Soul Shifter' or the 'Immortal General', you are happy to see such a situation, right?"

"Theoretically, yes."

Bai Ye curiously pointed at the tablet, called up a string of data and a pair of pictures, and remotely followed the real-time dynamics of the life, work and battle of the rat clan through the monitoring system.

Chu Ge wanted to change from his facial micro-expressions and capture his inner thoughts, but he didn't succeed.

Bai Ye watched intently, allowing the glorious underground city to reflect thousands of brilliant fireworks on his retina, but this fireworks did not cause even the slightest ripple in his facial muscles.

"But the rats don't know the truth yet, do they?"

Bai Ye saw that in the ever-expanding Luminous City and the four new cities that had just begun construction, there were statues of "gods", that is, human beings, standing in the most conspicuous positions.

Carved from marble and granite, these imposing human bodies, though immature and out of proportion, have something that none of the greatest sculptors in human history have ever bestowed—an almost infinite worship.

Many statues have not yet been completed, and there are countless rat tribes to worship.

Even if they just touched the toes of the statue, these rats would tremble with excitement and foam at the mouth, unable to help themselves.

In addition to the statues, there are also various beautiful reliefs and murals that flood the streets and alleys of the luminous city.

Including among the rat tribe, a large number of "priests" who were originally very rare have also appeared, taking the place of wise men and proclaiming the power of the gods to the people.

All in all, the current rat civilization, immersed in an atmosphere of madness, seems to have become more ...... than in the past Extreme.

Chu Ge was a little embarrassed and helpless, scratched his scalp for a long time, and could only tell the truth: "That's right, the rat clan doesn't know the truth yet, the commander-in-chief of this operation, Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting of the crow army, fully adopted the advice of the national teacher and deceived the rat clan."

"I do not agree with Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting's plan, including the local departments in Lingshan City, who have reservations about this plan with great side effects, the problem is that the time is urgent, the task is critical, and we cannot come up with a more effective, less side effect, and more feasible plan.

"On the other hand, before the national teacher pretended to be a god and returned to the underworld gorgeously, the Fang Kingdom was already on the verge of civil war and collapse, and the fire of civilization that was not easy to condense was about to be completely extinguished - if this is the case, countless rat clans will die, even if they are lucky enough to escape and survive for a long time, they will quickly degenerate to the stage of drinking blood and being muddy, and even completely degenerate into the most primitive rats.

"Yes, humans have deceived the rats.

But it was this kind of deception that helped the rat people rebuild their firm belief in civilization in an instant, and also squeezed out their extreme potential, helping them successfully survive the difficulties from which they almost never recovered.

"It is true that there are countless rat tribes under the banner of 'fighting for the gods', rushing forward and rushing towards the insect tide one after another, and dying senselessly.

"But more rats have survived, in a more civilized, healthier, safer way – and from that point of view, perhaps not entirely 'deception' of the rats' belief in the gods?

"Damn, how do I feel that the tone in which I defend the whole thing is becoming more and more like a national teacher?"
