179 Menorah rats
Just as the two of them were about to approach the warhorse, the oolong horse, which had been restless and pacing back and forth, actually ran towards them, and both of them had excellent experience and judgment on the spot, and both understood what it meant.
The moment the man and horse staggered, the two grabbed the saddle, jumped up, and ran back one after the other.
When the war horse passed through the gaps of those vehicles, its speed slowed down significantly, and the low-frequency rat cries around it seemed to reach the ears, which made people feel creepy.
Zhao Xinghua, who was on horseback, looked back in the direction of the entrance to this street, and had already seen a huge swarm of rats extending towards them like a black curtain, covering everything that passed on the devouring road, and the road when they came in was blocked by these rats, and it should be the same all around, they were surrounded.
The tall oolong horses were interspersed among these damaged convoys, and they were only delayed for more than ten seconds, but Zhao Xinghua and Liang Hanba felt as long as a century, and the edge of the black curtain that moved and shrank had reached both sides of the road, and the distance between the two was only a few meters, but fortunately, the roadbed of this section of the road was higher than the fields on both sides of the road, and there was a canal more than one meter wide below, which added a little obstacle to these rats and slowed them down.
Just as the first rats swam wet across the canal and up the steep slope to appear on either side of the road, two oolong foals also crossed the road congested with broken cars. Zhao and Liang dared to delay, and at the same time beat their horses and galloped in the direction where no rats appeared, and rushed into the gate of the grain depot in the blink of an eye.
At this time, rats had begun to appear on the fence on one side, and they did not go through the ditch to chase after the wall.
This national grain reserve depot covers an area of very large, with thousands of meters in the east-west and north-south directions, and the parking lot at the entrance alone has nearly 10,000 square meters, which is equipped for the vehicles that deliver grain.
The two stopped their horses, glanced back, and looked around, and saw that there were rats on the left and right walls, that is, there was only one direction to escape, and there was no longer any hesitation, and the rats that followed behind them were about to reach their feet, and at the same time, the horses were beating hard, and the oolong horses finally burst out with their unparalleled speed - lightning and lightning speed!
The two on horseback could only hang their heads down, and the high-pressure air generated by the war horse in the high-speed gallop made the two unable to open their eyes, so they handed over the choice of escape to the war horse under them, and let them choose how to get out of the predicament in front of them.
1,200 meters, the distance from the gate of the grain mill to the back wall of the grain mill;
3.5 meters high, the height of the courtyard wall of the grain depot built of red bricks.
The two horsehorses galloped wildly, like lightning in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, they crossed a kilometer of space and a wall more than three meters high.
Before the end of the world, the world record for the height of the highest obstacle that a horse could jump over was 2.47 meters, and Zhao and Liang just felt that the galloping war horse under them jumped deep and appeared in a rice field that should have been harvested last year, and the courtyard wall of the grain factory behind them did not hinder the two men and two horses.
Led by a huge mouse, one hundred thousand one- or two-foot-long rats swarmed over the gate and wall of the grain factory again, but only a black cat-like creature was left in the courtyard in front of him, and the two large creatures they chased were gone, which made the rat king very angry.
What made it even more angry was that there were still fresh blood stains on the corners of the black cat's mouth, and there were a large number of rat heads and tails on the ground, those were the cubs they left at home after they left, and they didn't know how much it had eaten in this moment's effort.
With the rat king's unique summoning sound, all the rats rushed towards the black cat again. The black cat also chirped in the direction of the Rat King, as if it was a warning, and then turned around and ran in the direction where Zhao and Liang had fled.
In the open area, those rats no longer pose a threat to the two of them, two horses and one cat, as long as they are not surrounded, then they have an absolute speed advantage, and the rat king is not constantly chasing them.
Zhao Xinghua and Liang Hanba quickly circled back to a country road, and were about to identify the direction and return to the paper, when Zhao Xinghua's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed to a place and shouted:
"Let's go there and have a look!"
……
An hour later, a war horse came running again from the direction of the grain depot, this time closely followed by the boundless swarm of black rats. Just now, Liang Hanba returned to the back of the grain depot again, this time there was an oil drum hanging behind the war horse, and after opening the lid on it, a fragrant camellia unique aroma spread. Liang Hanba picked up the oil drum and splashed it a few more times on the grain factory through the courtyard wall, so that the aroma of oil tea spread farther, and then hurriedly climbed back to the horse, waiting for the rats to smell it and appear on the wall.
Sure enough, after a short period of effort, there were rats gathered in the factory, and the same huge rat king was also attracted, and under its command, several weak rats first went to the wall and the ground to lick, and then made a pleasant squeak peculiar to the rats.
As reported in Scientific American, humans aren't the only animals with rich facial expressions when they feel joy and pain, and rats do. The researchers found that mice exhibited uncomfortable facial expressions in similar ways to humans. For example, when the pain is severe, the eyes will squint, the bridge of the nose and cheeks will bulge, the ears will move back and forth, and the beard will be erected or flattened on the face......
The rat king received the safety information sent by his subordinates, and couldn't resist the desire for the tea oil that exuded an attractive aroma in front of him, and also began to lick the tea oil that was poured on the wall and the ground, more and more mice began to scramble forward, a mouse climbed to the wall along the drenching traces, and Liang Hanba, who was not far away, saw this and immediately activated the unique brain wave he developed, stimulating the olfactory senses of nearby mice, and as he thought, the wall was filled with black rats in an instant, The Rat King saw the human who had just fled.
In the past, these rats may have been afraid of humans, but after the end of the world, the creatures in the nearby villages and towns have entered their stomachs, including the thousands of people in the town, including the zombies that have been contaminated and corpsed, and there is not much food within a radius of several miles. The situation in the granary was even worse than the old man who spoke yesterday had predicted. The grain in the warehouse is not controlled by ventilation, temperature and humidity, and mildew quickly occurs, and the feces and urine excreted by the gathering life of many rats are basically not much.
When Zhao Xinghua and Liang Hanba came in the morning, there were no rats in the warehouse, it was not an empty city plan staged by the staging of the city, but the rats went to other places last night to forage for food, and as time went by, it also had to spread farther and farther, and it was not until after dawn today that they rushed back, just blocking the two people who came to explore the way.
There is a children's song that says:
"Little mouse, go to the lampstand, steal oil to eat, can't get ......"
What is described is the greed of rats for oil, this is because of the physiological state of mice, mice need to regularly supplement an amino acid, and the fatty acids of vegetable oil in β-2 glutamate is just what they need, which is a kind of food-loving, just like people like monosodium glutamate, which has a fatal temptation for mice.
In an instant, all the rats were provoked by Liang Hanba to go crazy, and under the leadership of the rat king, they jumped directly from the wall and rushed towards a man and a horse not far away.
Liang Han has experience in doing this kind of sultry work, and after urging the horse to run away from a safe distance, he sprinkled some tea oil to continue to seduce the rats to follow up, and just repeated it over and over again, and unconsciously came to a place where he was separated from Zhao Xinghua.
Looking back at the back of him, dense rats covered the entire country road, and even the farmland on both sides of the road, extending backwards for a distance of thousands of meters, like a sea of death.
He tossed the few remaining oil drums towards a gate on the left, and there was a dark trail of oil on the road inside the gate.
The thick layer of oil on the ground reflects a golden glow in the sunlight......
