"Yikes! Mouse! Lin Yingying came out of nowhere, and when she saw the monster on the ground, she couldn't help but scream. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yes, it does look like a mouse, but it is a hundred times larger than the small thing that hides in the granary and steals food, and its appearance changes greatly. But people can still tell at a glance that it's a mouse, or at least it looks like it.

"Divisional commander! The reconnaissance plane sent a message and found a strong sense of life! Staff Officer Han, please return to the command center immediately! The orderly came running. Lin Yuan frowned and said to everyone: "Professors, let's go!" I'll leave this to Professor Link! ”

Back in the command center, the scene on the big screen shocked everyone.

War.

Countless humanoid standing rats were fighting in the field, and the screams were clearly audible. They hold reflective metal weapons in their hands, and large rats are constantly being hit and falling by similar weapons, and bright red blood is flowing everywhere on the battlefield.

It's really a weapon made of metal, absolutely no mistake! It reflects light and can easily cut through muscles and skin.

Red Dragonfly No. 1 is still flying quietly over the battlefield, and the battlefield is unexpectedly unsightly, and I don't know if there are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of rats.

Apparently the rats were split into two sides, and if you look closely, one side has long red hairs on the top of its head, while the other side has long blue hairs. The battle line was chaotic, neither side was struggling to rush forward, and occasionally rats standing on high places could be seen waving flags in their hands, directing their own soldiers to fight.

People feel a pearly cracking in their throats.

Able to walk upright. Speak language. Know how to smelt metals. Apparently a group of organized, disciplined, thinking animals.

An endless sense of fear suddenly came over everyone.

I don't know how long it took for the situation on the battlefield to finally become clear. A group of blue-capped long-haired rats armed with shooting weapons like bows and arrows joined the battlefield, and the rain-like arrows fell into the battle formation at a distance of forty or fifty meters, and the red-haired rats gradually retreated in the screams of the repeatedly.

Lin Yuan felt a boulder pressing against his chest, and he was almost out of breath. He suddenly felt that someone seemed to be standing behind him, and he was startled, and when he looked back, it was Professor Link.

"Professor Lin, what did you find?" Lin Yuan asked with a sigh of relief.

"You saw it too!" Link said with a gloomy face, "What are they?" From now on, I'm afraid we are no longer qualified to call ourselves human! ”

"Why?" Someone asked.

"They are highly organized, they are a social group! They have been able to smelt and use metal tools, they have their own language, they have a wealth of emotions, they have an upright form, and they are now highly intelligent thinking creatures! They've evolved into advanced animals -- we should probably call them -- nezumen! We are no longer the only elves in this world! Link's voice grew more and more agitated, and everyone in the room could hear it clearly.

But no one spoke. It was eerily quiet. There was a gloomy silence on everyone.

"Did they evolve from mice? It's only 10,000 years, is this possible? You know, it took us humans at least a few million years to evolve from apes in the Great Rift Valley to Homo sapiens! Someone asked.

"Yes, their genes are very similar to those of 10,000-year-old mice, or rather, they are identical, with a few variations! 10,000 years does seem like a short time, but biologically, sudden mutations are not impossible. It is safe to assume that they are due to infection by nuclear radiation, which in turn caused genetic mutations. At the same time, according to the evolutionary criteria of survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest, there is a wise rat man in just 10,000 years! ”

Everyone sighed.

"Then we don't call it human, what should we call it??"

"We? We might just call ourselves apes! Link shook his head with endless self-deprecation.

"Ape-man? Ape-Man? Lin Yuan chewed on this word carefully, feeling so apt, but so bitter.

"So how did they survive the nuclear winter, and how did they survive?" Li Yuan also has many questions.

"It's very simple, the rats are a hundred times more survivable than us, and they are almost dead due to nuclear radiation, but some genetically alienated mice eventually survive. This is all thanks to their survivability, which is too strong! ”

"But...... No matter how strong their survival ability is, it is impossible for them to immediately learn the hibernation technique of cold-blooded animals, right? In the days of nuclear winter, can they go a hundred years without eating? ”

"No!" Link shook his head and said, "Yes! Ten billion human corpses that died in caves from nuclear radiation, the corpses of other animals, and even the corpses of the same kind, and fungal plants that don't need sunlight to grow, I think that's pretty much enough! Even if 99.99% of the nezumi starved to death, as long as there were 0.01% of survivors, they would be the victors compared to the other 100% extinct species! Just because humans can't survive doesn't mean that other creatures can't survive. The power of life is incomparably tenacious, and no matter how harsh the world is, there is always a part of life that can survive. ”

Lin Yuan felt the urge to vomit. Everyone's heart is cold.

Actually, the nezumi were created by humans. Isn't it?

"Let us observe a moment of silence for our fallen compatriots!" Han Xu broke the indescribable silence and said. Lin Yuan wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, cheered up and said: "The past has passed, what we have to do now is to live hard and continue our civilization!" Fellow citizens! ”

"Report! The red-haired rat has been completely defeated and is coming in our direction! The blue-haired rat is in hot pursuit after them! The red dragonfly's monitor shouted. Lin Yuan tightened his brows and shouted, "Attention units! Get ready for battle now! ”

17th Marine Division, Division Headquarters Command Center. The big screen showed the perspective of Red Dragonfly One, and a field of red-haired rats was rushing in a panic, chasing after them was another group of even larger rat people screaming and screaming. From above, the entire land in front of you is a dense group of moving dots, which is simply a nightmare for people with dense phobia.

The soldiers hid behind makeshift fortifications, guns in hand, nervously staring at the horizon ahead. It is said that the enemy they will face is a group of monsters that have never been seen before.

A hazy figure finally appeared on the horizon. It was a group of animals walking upright, with shiny weapons in their hands, pointed beaks and thin eyes, and long hair growing all over their bodies.

The rats have also spotted an anomaly ahead. On the way they came, a strange building suddenly appeared out of thin air, and under the support of towering columns, hills burst out of thin air, exuding an air of déjà vu, and it seemed to bring the smell of death.

The nezumi stopped at a distance, and a nezumi who seemed to be the leader of the nezumi ran over, "squeaking" as if to ask why they had stopped. The rats hurriedly pointed their paws at the town ahead. "Twitter!" The nezumi leader screamed in annoyance, and the nezumi hurriedly rushed over again.

"A thousand meters away!" The voice of the front-line commander was heard over the communicator.

"Warn them!" Han Xu said.

"Dada-da-da!" A volley of bullets whistled and struck the ground in front of the rats, splashing dust and flowers. The rats froze for a moment, they weren't afraid of bullets, because they had never tried anything like that, and the ignorant were fearless. They were only distracted by the shrill sound that came from the roar.

When they realized that there was nothing unexpected, the rats continued to rush again.

"It seems that the lack of blood can't scare them!" Han Xu thought for a while and said, "Attention to the front line!" The nezumi is within 500 meters and is allowed to attack! Reserve troops, pay attention to the protection of the front line! ”

Eight hundred meters.

Seven hundred meters.

Six hundred meters.

Five hundred meters! The palms of the soldiers seemed to be oozing with sweat.

"Fire!" The squad leader drank it at once, and more than a dozen micro-punches rang out at the same time. A rain of bullets flew by, and the rats screamed and lay down.

The surviving rats were stunned. But without the orders of the chief, they did not dare to retreat without permission. "Squeak! Twitter! The leader of the red-haired rats screamed angrily and rushed again, and the rats mustered up their morale again, and then rushed over.

"Hit!" There was another rain of bullets, and the other two squads also opened fire. The firepower crossed over the 500-meter line, forming a red line of death. Groups of nezumi fell, corpses piled up.

The red-haired rats finally understood the intentions of the unknown god of death in front of them, and after paying thousands of lives, they stopped five hundred meters beyond the cordon. "Squeak!" The other nezumi called out and raised his paws, and the nezumi roared and retreated, dragging the corpses of their kind with them.

The red-haired rats rounded the massive cylinder and these tall buildings that had suddenly appeared, and retreated south along the perimeter of the circular dividing line. Soon, the blue-haired rats came again.

Perhaps because of their own great strength, the blue-haired rats rushed directly to Maple Grove Town without any hesitation. Lin Yuan frowned and said, "You must not let them in!" Whoever crosses the cordon, kill! ”

Blood, bright red blood, splattered on the line of life and death five hundred meters outside the edge of the town. This line of death, made up of countless bullets, not a single nezumi will be able to pass through. Because, this is a completely asymmetrical war.

The troops on the front line have already been rotated in the third batch. Due to the lack of oxygen, all oxygen masks were given priority to the weakened inhabitants of the town, and there were not many who could be assigned to the front line. So the physical strength of the soldiers is very quickly depleted and can only be recovered by taking turns to rest.
