Chapter 49: The Shadow of War for the Extermination
Seeing Lin Yao rushing like crazy, the mouse was startled, and retracted back into the well with a squeak.
Lin Yao, who had fallen into the madness, did not intend to let him go, but still rushed forward in stride, killing in front of the well grid, and planned to jump down without hesitation.
But Lin Yao couldn't jump after all.
Traveling around the trail came first, grabbing him by the shoulders from behind.
"Lin Yao, don't be impulsive! Calm down! Can't go to the sewers right now! God knows how many rats are in the sewers! ”
Lin Yao didn't listen at all, struggled again and again, and shouted in his mouth: "I want revenge!" Avenge! ”
It is said that most honest people have a submissive personality, and they are more accustomed to swallowing their anger in case of trouble.
But that's just because I haven't been cornered, and I still have thoughts and worries in my heart.
Lin Yao was an orphan whose parents died, and his grandparents were his only relatives and his last spiritual sustenance.
Now that's all gone.
His mind was empty until now, but he was still easily aroused by the mouse.
Zhou You didn't know how to persuade him now, so he only relied on his power advantage as an overlimiter to lock him up.
Lin Yao struggled like this for a full five or six minutes, and only gradually stopped when he was exhausted.
Zhou You pulled him by the collar and dragged him from the ground back to the door of the pharmacy.
Lin Yao didn't struggle to resist the whole time, like a dead fish, his eyes were blank, and he had a gray and defeated aura that only a dead person has.
Syllable!
Zhou You gave him a slap in the face.
He still didn't react.
Zhou You: "I slapped your parents just now." ”
Syllable!
Another slap in the face.
"This slap was made by me for myself. I brought you back from the township, and you repay me like this? ”
Syllable!
Third slap.
"This is for your grandparents. I believe that the two old men must have been thinking in their hearts before they died, fortunately you are not here, you can still live. Fortunately, you chose to go back to your parents to repair the mountain in the next few days, and they must be bless you in the dark. They will also think that even if they go underground after death and meet your parents, they will bring them the good news that you are still alive. ”
Lin Yao's eyes gradually appeared, and he slowly raised his head to look at Zhou You.
"Parents and elders live to the end of their lives, some live long, some live short, but who doesn't die? Sooner or later, anyone will die! What they really look forward to, the only thing they can hope for, isn't it still you and me, can the next generation like Luo Wei live and live well? The ultimate destination of everyone's meaning in life is in future generations. ”
"You went to die casually, and you completely denied all the hardships that your grandparents have endured in the past 20 years. So even if you think that living is a kind of torture, you have to continue to live, and if others have suffered for you for the rest of your life, you should continue to suffer for others. Got it? ”
Lin Yao's gaze slowly focused, and he finally opened his mouth to speak, "Mr. Zhou, I'...... I ......"
"Even if you want revenge, is it useful to find the rats out there? You should go to the rats in your house and find the real murderer. ”
Lin Yao shook his head again, "They ran away, and they can't be found." ”
Zhou You shook his head, "Rats are not good at traveling far, and they won't run far. We'll go back to your house tonight, prepare a big meal for them, and wait for them to come back and die. You know what I mean? ”
Lin Yao thought for a moment, "I understand." But it could be other rats. ”
"Then keep killing until we kill the rats, or the rats eat us up."
Lin Yao was stunned, "Mr. Zhou, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Follow me." Zhou You shook his head, and then took Lin Yao to the sewer well, "Look down again." What do you see? ”
Lin Yao poked his head out and looked left and right for a moment, "Nothing, the mouse just now is gone." ”
"But I don't see the same things as you do." Zhou You pointed to both sides of the stone wall below the wellhead, "After becoming an overlimiter, my eyesight is stronger than that of ordinary people, and in this distance and light environment, I can just see some things that you ordinary people can't see." Where the sludge on both sides of the sewer is shallow, on the relatively dry slate, and in the crevices of the slate...... There are a lot of traces of rat footprints. These footprints vary in size. I'm sure there are a lot of rats waiting for you down there, if you did jump at the time......"
After speaking, Zhou You grabbed a small piece of compressed biscuit the size of a mung bean from the satchel he carried with him and threw it down.
In the next second, at least twenty huge giant rats suddenly pounced out of the darkness and tore apart the compressed biscuit in an instant.
Then the group of rats seemed to be deceived, and one of the extraordinarily large giant rats actually looked up at Zhou You and Lin Yao above, and then squeaked twice, as if cursing.
Instantly, all the rats quickly turned their heads and disappeared into the darkness.
The dense rustling of footsteps was heard far away.
"As you can see, the rat was the bait that lured you to death. Luring the enemy deep and attacking them in groups is a simple but practical strategy, but it is enough to prove that today's rats are smarter than the rats of the past. My speculation is a bit scary, and more and more evidence is needed, and there are people who are working on this issue at the national level. ”
"When faced with a horror that may be irresistible, most people succumb to their instincts and think things in a better direction. But I'm different from traveling, and I'm always prepared for the worst. You know, rats have almost exactly the same recipes as humans, and now they have a size close to that of humans, or even larger, and their intelligence is growing rapidly. ”
"I have seen the shadow of the communal war slowly looming. Once this war breaks out, it will be the extinction of the race. At this point, you should think carefully about what role you can play in this war and what goals you can achieve. This goal may not be finally reached in your life, but as long as you can keep moving forward, at least you will have no regrets until you die. ”
Lin Yao fell into a long silence.
He's thinking, he's been thinking.
……
At three o'clock in the afternoon, all the medical supplies and other daily necessities in the Aimin Pharmacy on West Street were carried out and it was ready to leave for the return trip.
At least three hours ahead of the original expected time for the tour.
The main reason is that he had planned a labor force of less than 50 people before, but the actual number was more than eight times more.
There is a lot of strength in numbers, and the efficiency is certainly different.
When the huge team returned to the Zhou family's villa, Zhou Lingsheng had already returned first.
At this time, the construction site in the villa is still in full swing.
Shen Moxin and Shen Ling are busy making a new miniature cockpit according to national standards.
The compliant cockpit will be installed on the hybrid MPV at Uncle Zhou's house.
Bai Youyou took a group of aunts and aunts and traveling cousins to make more bamboo armor from the dismantled mahjong mats, while jumping up and down on the laptop to design metal armor.
The eldest uncle, who was exhausted, turned into a big contractor, and led an amateur construction team of nearly 100 people composed of the Zhou family and temporary tenants to carry out the project.
This temporary team is quite efficient in doing its work.
The more than 30 people who will be sent away tomorrow don't seem to be in a good mood at this time, but they are still completing their respective jobs honestly and dare not be lazy.
The main reason is that the Zhou family themselves are not idle.
The temporary tenants take care of food, drink, and housing, and also manage the security, so that they can do some work together, which is indeed not wronged.
In the past, there was no free lunch when the world was stable, and now there is no such thing.
