Hong Tao only turned on the headlights, and without hesitation for a moment, he strode across the water in one direction.Bungy followed closely with a large suitcase and a large backpack.Shen Wansan was almost equipped with the same equipment, but he turned on his flashlight, and walked around blindly, not knowing what he was looking for, his face turned purple and he dared not make a sound.
"Damn...you can break through such a thick concrete wall!" After 3 minutes, he still couldn't hold back. A big hole appeared in the wall more than ten meters away. The rebar is exposed.
At this moment, he finally remembered that he had come down here when he first came here, but he didn't pay attention to what Hong Tao and Al Yin said.Fortunately, the rebel immigrants have been digging holes these days, not to mention the craftsmanship, just the perseverance of grinding an iron rod into a needle is enough to see.
This is not an ordinary cement wall, but the foundation of the entire building, at least 300mm thick, made of high-grade cement and rebar thick as a thumb.No, it's far more than 300 mm when I get closer, it's almost doubled, probably related to the buildings outside the wall.
"Old, old, mouse..." Hong Tao was the first to get into the hole. The opening of the hole is a bit high, or the passage outside the wall is a bit low, with a drop of at least 1.5 meters. Fortunately, a simple wooden ladder has been erected.
This height was not difficult for Shen Wansan, but he still exclaimed.With the help of the weak headlight, he could clearly see not only the stagnant water outside the dark wall, but also pairs of small red eyes.
"Are you afraid of mice?" Hong Tao turned on the flashlight, and the strong light caused the mice to scatter.But after running for more than ten meters, he stopped at the same spot, staring hard with his small eyes.
"No, I'm not afraid...that's too much..." Shen Wansan was indeed not afraid of mice, or the refugees were not afraid of mice.
In the safe zone, besides humans, there is another kind of animal that belongs to the resident household, and that is rats.Wild cats, wild dogs, etc. can be exterminated without much effort, but this thing is the only one that can be killed without exerting all effort.
But the problem is that the rats in the safe zone are generally family-based, with at most five or six rats. Usually, there are only two or three rats that come out to steal and eat, and they are about the size of an adult's palm.At a glance, there are hundreds of mice here, and they are generally about the size of a house cat, with bald tails as thick as a thumb.
"Just don't be afraid. I'll treat you to kebabs for supper later. The meat on their backs is the tenderest, and the meat on their buttocks is the thickest. If they catch up with pregnant ones, burn the cubs a little bit and dip them in the sauce." It tastes the best!"
Don't be afraid in your mouth, right? Well, I will let you not be afraid to the end!Ten years ago, I trained the first armed personnel of the rescue team in this way. Unfortunately, the mice at that time were generally not so big and not very meaty.
It is quite strange to say that this thing is also quite strange. In the prosperous era of human beings, they were very small in size. Human beings were almost extinct, and they felt it immediately, and they grew up from generation to generation.This kind of instinct doesn't know how to calculate the trend, it's too fucking high-tech!
"Hey, Brother Pig, have you ever eaten it?" Shen Wansan immediately shut up when he heard that he was going to eat roast rat meat, not daring to say a word.It wasn't until Hong Tao turned around and walked into the aisle that he sneaked behind Bungy and asked a small question with the smallest voice.
"More than [-]% of gold diggers have eaten rats and wild dogs, and some gold diggers even ate human flesh..."
But Bungy doesn't bother with this tough-looking companion who is gossip and talkative. Without him, he would be the object of Hong Tao's torture every day, and he would not be able to escape even if he didn't say a word.From this point of view, not only can't be annoying, but also thank you!
"...Can I not eat?" Shen Wansan had already started to take a deep breath, trying to suppress the churning in his stomach, discussing the supper question very uncertainly.
"Brother Shu is very lazy. If he works faster, he won't be bothered to make supper for us!" Bungy Pig understood and gave a clever answer.Neither saying it can nor saying it can't, it's all up to you to choose whether you can do it or not.
"Come, come, I'll carry it for you... It's okay, I'm strong! You go and help Brother Shu find the way, let's hurry up and try to come back early, I invite you to go to the market to eat cow's hooves!" Shen Wansan's choice It was very clear that he would rather work more than eat supper cooked by Hong Tao.
"Do you know why he is called Brother Shu?" A large suitcase was missing in his hand, and Benzhu's mouth became restless, and he took the initiative to chat with Shen Wansan in a low voice.
"A rat?"
"You guessed it, but it's not complete. I'll let you see something interesting. Come on, let's walk slowly and watch those mice carefully!" Bungy Pig wiped the dirty water on his face, and the stagnant water in the passage It only reaches the knees, but the top keeps ticking down, and the smell is not very good.
"...Brother Pig, Brother Pig, they are here!"
Shen Wansan was quite obedient, and immediately slowed down, getting further and further away from Hong Tao.It took less than a minute to notice the change. It was too obvious. Those mice had all gone to the two sides, but now they gradually surrounded themselves, and some of them had already jumped into the water.
"Walk a few steps..." Bungy snatched the suitcase from Shen Wansan's hand, and pulled him forward quickly.
"Fuck... no way... he, he, he..."
After catching up with Hong Tao by about five or six meters, and less than ten meters away from Hong Tao, Shen Wansan opened his mouth and stared again and let out an exclamation.The mice stopped trying to get closer, as if there was an invisible wall around them, and they all climbed up against the wall, as if they were avoiding something terrible.
There was nothing in the tunnel except for the three people, and I and Bungy Zhu were definitely not the ones that the mice feared, only the tall figure in front wading through the water holding a flashlight was left.
"Hehehe... He has such a big mouse head tattoo on his back. As long as he is around, the mice will immediately hide away." I don't know why, but the more I don't understand it, the more mythical it is.
Chapter 966 Dead End!
"Then it should be called Brother Cat... No, the cat must run away if it sees such a big mouse! Come on, Brother Zhu, let me carry it. Tell me again, does Brother Hong have any other skills?"
With the vivid scene in front of his eyes, Shen Wansan still had half doubts.Originally, he just respected the savior, knew that he was a capable person, and had Tong Limin's entrustment, so he was willing to leave his relatively stable life and come here to be a bodyguard.
But now, the way he looked at the back of the figure in front of him was a little wrong, and there was a little more fear.In his mind, Hong Tao is not only a benefactor and a capable person, but also a bit of mythology.Of course, it is likely not a god, but some kind of demon.
Hong Tao could hear the murmurs of the two people behind him, but couldn't make out what they were saying.He doesn't care about these things either, anyone who follows him into a hole for the first time, such as Bungy Pig, will have various incomprehensions.To be honest, even he himself didn't quite understand the reactions of the mice, so he simply didn't explain it.
Now he is concentrating on finding the entrance of the subway tunnel. This is not a real tunnel, but an auxiliary road before entering the tunnel.Because it is a transportation hub, the structure is a bit extending in all directions, coupled with relatively deep water, it is really not easy to find.
"Take a break for 10 minutes...do you feel anything?" After an hour and a half, the three saw a platform.Holding up the flashlight, I took a careful photo, and finally saw the name on the mottled wall, Xiaohongmen!Hong Tao turned off the flashlight and turned on the headlamp, found a step and sat down.
"There are fewer mice!" Shen Wansan almost didn't look at anything else along the way, he just paid attention to the mice that can be seen everywhere, and it was not in vain, and he really gained something.
"The stagnant water is much shallower!" Bungy observed more carefully. At this time, the stagnant water in the tunnel just barely covered his feet.
"Well, both are correct, but not complete. Feel carefully, is there no wind?" Hong Tao nodded in agreement, but not completely.To prove his theory, pull out the cigarette point and hold it under the headlamp.
"...Is there a dead end ahead?" Bumblebee was the first to react, and the smoke was blown to the side, but not very strongly.Obviously, the wind was blowing down from the platform, and it was not very strong.
"I have been on this line before. The front is not a tunnel but a viaduct. There must be an entrance and exit drilled out of the ground. However, since the case of the German Embassy and Ojai Farm was solved, the Union has closed all subway lines for the second time. Here It’s not far from the Fourth Ring Road, and Bao Buqi has been tricked.”
Hong Tao thought of this problem when he encouraged the Rebels and Redeemers to dig holes and tunnels. The alliance is not a fool, and such an obvious omission will not be repeated.
It doesn’t matter if the stations and entrances and exits along the way are blocked, the mobilizers will dig slowly, and even half-meter-thick reinforced concrete walls can be pierced, and nothing can’t be dug.
But right now is not the time to dig slowly, and a way out must be found quickly, otherwise the previous arrangement will be greatly compromised, and all previous efforts may be wasted.
"Then what should we do?" Bumblebee really doesn't have much talent for digging holes, but he believes that this one in front of him must have a way.
"Go up and check the condition of the platform first, it would be better if you can get out from here!"
Hong Tao frowned and was thinking of a way. He had a jack and an engineering shovel in his backpack, but it was unlikely that three people could dig it out quickly.If that's the case, the alliance military will be rotten to the root.
"...No, the top is blown up. I saw that mice can get out, but people can't get out!" About 10 minutes later, Bungy came down with an engineering shovel, covered in dirt and dazed.
"Let's go, go ahead and have a look!" Since Bungy couldn't agree, Hong Tao didn't go up to try it himself, and jumped off the platform again with his bag on his back.
After only walking a few hundred meters, the three of them stopped again.There is no water on the ground here, but there is a muck wall in front of it, which tightly blocks the tunnel.Judging from the height of the muck wall, it is definitely not thin, and it should be piled up with mechanical equipment such as bulldozers.
"Third brother, stop digging. We will have to dig this stuff for at least a few days. Let's go, go back first, let Al Yin find someone to find a solution tomorrow."
Shen Wansan was not afraid of hardship, so it was his turn to do the job with the shovel. Hong Tao watched it for more than a minute and decided to give up.Now I can only take the risk of letting more people know what I am going to do, and I hope that among the workers under Al Yin, there are no people who are out of the way.
I came here happily, and left with my head drooping. Although this journey is not too far, the road is relatively difficult, and I have to walk through the water. It is a headache to think about it.Not only is it difficult to travel, but there are also not so friendly friends on the way.
The mice were both afraid and curious about the three unknown creatures that had invaded their territory. They would not go away, always wandering around, staring at the small blood-red eyes, and always had the urge to pounce on them and try something new. .
Without sufficient ammunition supply, Hong Tao didn't bother to use the precious bullets to kill rats, so he could only drive them away in front, driving the rats in the tunnel to scatter and flee, preventing them from approaching Benzhu and Shen Wansan.
"Hey, wait..." But just after walking a hundred meters, he stopped suddenly, stroked the beard on his chin, squinted his eyes, and fell into deep thought.
"Did you notice just now, where did the mice that were driven to the end go?"
"...What?" Shen Wansan didn't quite understand, and took two steps closer.
"When we went to the entrance of the tunnel just now, did a dozen or so mice get driven there?" Hong Tao blinked his small eyes and pointed to the guide.
"That's right!" Shen Wansan nodded earnestly. The tunnel itself was not too wide, and most of the rats got into the water to avoid the plague god.But there is no water here, so we can only stay away and run along the tunnel until there is a pipe or gap and then drill in.
"But did you see any mice when you were digging?" Hong Tao continued to ask, as if he wasn't there at the time.It's actually his way of thinking, using dialogue to sort out his thoughts.
"Mouse holes? There are mouse holes on the dirt wall!" At this moment, Bungy Pig finally understood.
"What's the use of that, none of us can get through the mouse hole...maybe..."
Shen Wansan was very contemptuous of this answer. He didn't pay attention to the whereabouts of the mouse at all. Even if there was a mouse hole, it would not help... But when he said this, he suddenly remembered something, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at Hong Tao.
"If you dare to look at me like this again, I'll smash your tailbone... Go, you have to try!" How could such an intriguing expression escape Hong Tao's small eyes? He also knew Shen Wansan's heart. Thinking about something, he raised his foot and kicked, turned around and walked back the way he came.
"Brother Pig, what does he mean?" Shen Wansan didn't dare to follow up immediately, but poked Bumblebee's arm, trying to figure out what happened.
"Let's go, don't ask, what do you want to do, thinking too much is not good for your sleep!" Bungy didn't know what Hong Tao was going to try, but he knew that he must have thought of a way.Such a sudden inspiration has happened countless times before, and the best way to deal with it is to listen to orders, think less, and save your brain.
"Sky spirits, earth spirits, the god of rats is about to appear! Come on, citizens of the unstoppable rat kingdom, use your paws to open the way for me!"
After walking forward for more than 200 meters, Hong Tao asked Benzhu and Shen Wansan to climb onto the platform, and continued to walk north.In less than 10 minutes, a miracle happened. Even standing on the platform, you could still see and hear the movement of rats.
Group after group of rats fled southward along the tunnel in a panic. According to a rough estimate, there may be hundreds of them.Behind them was a tall figure, jumping forward with open arms, chanting words, blocking all the mice that were trying to slip away and turn back.
"Damn, he, he, he appeared..."
Shen Wansan's legs were a little weak, he was not afraid of fighting fiercely, stabbing someone with a knife and being stabbed was a matter of closing his eyes, but he watched hundreds of huge mice being driven like sheep by a man, Immediately, various associations came to mind.Like a monster with a human body, a mouse head, and mouse claws!
"Show your mother, show your mother... Keep your voice down, it will be bad luck for Brother Shu to hear you!"
Before he finished speaking, he received two slaps on the head. After hanging out with Shen Wansan for a while, Benzhu felt that this man with a fierce appearance was quite simple and honest in his heart, and he didn't want to see him tortured by Hong Tao all day long.
Chapter 967 Free Labor
"That, that...Look, he's talking to the mice!" Shen Wansan was woken up for a few seconds, but when he saw Hong Tao baring his teeth, staring and yelling at some of the more stubborn mice, he immediately I fell into confusion again.
"Hurry up and help, don't let the mice climb up the platform!" Seeing Shen Wansan's behavior, Bungy simply refused to enlighten him, pushed him to the edge of the platform, and at the same time turned on the flashlight, shaking it at the mice that climbed up the platform .
Although these big guys are more vicious than ordinary rats and basically not afraid of people, they are still very sensitive to strong light. They immediately turned their heads and jumped off the platform, and ran south with the rats.
"He, he, he is going to transform... I won't go, I won't go..." But when Shen Wansan approached the platform and saw Hong Tao's face clearly, even the strong Bungy couldn't push him, so he simply moved Sitting on the ground with his buttocks, his hands hugged the pillar and refused to go down.
Why did this happen? Bungy saw it clearly. At this time, Hong Tao's face and hands were covered with blood, which made the already irregular face look even more evil.If you are not very familiar with it, coupled with the group of fleeing mice, you can't help but think about it.
"Stupid pig, leave him alone, let the mice eat it. If you have the ability, don't come here forever. Let's see if you run faster or the mice chase you faster!"
Hong Tao was still jumping left and right in the tunnel like a big horse monkey, trying not to let a mouse escape.As for Shen Wansan's performance, although they all saw it, they didn't have the time to pay attention to it.In order to increase the strength of intimidating the rats, he cut the back of his hand several times, so that the blood could not be shed in vain.
Shen Wansan finally jumped off the platform and followed, holding a flashlight and driving away the rats together.But it was always at the end, and his eyes were always on Hong Tao's back.He is not stupid either, if he stays on the closed platform, he will soon become food for the rats, and it is better to fight than to be bitten to death.Of course, we have to guard against Hong Tao's transformation!
"Damn..." He didn't see the transformation, and was soon stunned by another scene he had never seen before.After hundreds of big rats were driven to the end of the tunnel, only a few had time to get out of the few two rat holes, and most of the rest were desperate.
On one side is the earth wall, on the other side is the fearful natural enemy. The group of rats neither held a meeting nor argued with each other, as if some god of rats really gave an order, and they did one thing in a uniform way... Digging holes!
Gritting his teeth and digging with his claws, he launched an indomitable attack on the earth wall one after another.Although the mouse has no tools, its digging speed is not slower than that of a machine. With the sound of friction, two holes were dug into shape in a blink of an eye.
"Stop, don't get any closer!" Hong Tao had a gratified smile on his face. It was just a whim just now, and he planned to test whether the basic skills of mice digging holes were solid.Now everything has been confirmed, and the rumors that the dragon begets the dragon, the phoenix begets the phoenix, and the son of the mouse will make a hole are very true.
But he didn't get too close to the rats, leaving them a space of about 20 meters.The sense of urgency can force the creature to explode several times, and it may also drive the creature crazy. Once the pressure is too high, the rat group may fight back.
"Brother Mouse, drink some water..."
No matter how unexpected the scene is, it is shocking at first glance, and it will gradually lose its power after watching it for a long time.Shen Wansan watched it for a few minutes, and it seemed that he was not as frightened as before. The adrenaline gradually returned to the normal level, and his brain began to turn.
"I can't drink water now. When I do my exercises, I will transform when I drink water, and the first one will eat you!" No need to drive away the rats, and don't worry about them going on strike. Hong Tao was in a good mood, and immediately remembered what Shen Wansan said just now. He bared his teeth and stared, making claws with his hands, intending to frighten this guy.
"Hehehe... I'll bandage you..." Shen Wansan didn't hide this time, and took out the first-aid kit with a smile, waving his little gourd-like fingers to pretend to be a nurse.
"Forget it, it's not bleeding anymore. You two go to the back and rest for a while. At this speed, you'll have to dig for an hour or two!" Seeing Shen Wansan's behavior like this, Hong Tao stopped teasing him. Fear is a good start sometimes.
Hong Tao guessed wrong again this time. The mice were far more industrious and skilled than he had imagined. It took just over 40 minutes for them to disappear in the midst of creaking noises, leaving only the corner of the top earth wall close to the tunnel roof. The next two irregular openings.
Hong Tao went up to try it himself. The hole was not small, but it became narrower as he went in. He had to make some repairs to allow people to pass through.However, with the main road dug by the rats, the widening work is relatively easier to carry out.In less than half an hour, he got out of the tunnel in disgrace. Before he could see his surroundings clearly, he was drenched in the rain.
"Go to the platform and find a place where the rats can't gnaw and put the equipment away, let's go back!" Looking at his watch, the time he made an appointment with Al Yin is running out, Hong Tao doesn't want more people to find out where he is, so he chooses In order to return, he still has something to do immediately.
As time entered June, summer in the capital officially came.Unlike the Old World, summers here are cooler and wetter as the surrounding vegetation grows year by year.The rain comes almost every three to five times, not too much, and the patter is very annoying.
In this kind of weather, refugees in the safe zone rarely come out unless necessary, but business activities will not be affected.A covered two-wheeled carriage was slowly heading west along the road in the drizzle. The mules pulling the cart were already drenched, and the rain continued to drip down their hair.But the person driving the car didn't feel bad at all, and still urged with shouts.
"Iszawi, how far is it?" A low female voice came from inside the hood after being knocked down by the big crack in the road.
"My name is not Iszawi, but Weicheng. Your name is not Zhumabayi, but Zhuyu. Be sure to remember, otherwise you will cause big trouble!" The driver raised his big straw hat, showing A thin face that could even be called a sharp-billed monkey cheek corrected it in a low voice towards the inside of the tarpaulin.
"Ah..." There was a soft sigh from inside the hood, although he didn't say anything, there was a strong smell of impatience.
"Don't be too wordy. This place is no different than Yining. There are rules everywhere. There are also secret agents from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If you don't pay attention, you will be spotted. I am the last support of Brother Shu. If it wasn't for sending you off, I shouldn't have Show up.
It's not like you don't know what's going on now, how difficult it is for Brother Shu to be outside alone, don't bother him after the past, you have to be careful about everything, don't believe anyone except Brother Shu! "
Ever since Hong Tao led the team to Xinyang, Shouhou and Water Snake basically lost contact with the transportation company.When they heard that Populus Hu Yang had been arrested, the two of them thought about running away quickly, but they finally endured it.There's only one reason, I didn't receive the order, and if I mess things up on my own, I'll be woken up by that face in the middle of the night if I don't keep it all right.
Facts have proved that the brothers who have died are reliable. From the beginning to the end, Hu Yang and others did not betray the thin monkey and the water snake. Since the beginning of the district, hidden piles have been buried.
His identity was preserved, his business was preserved, but his mood didn't improve at all.After Hu Yang and others were captured by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, more heart-wrenching news came soon. Brother Shu was trapped in Xinyang. The enemy this time was not humans but zombies.
Fortunately in the misfortune, the zombie group was repelled, Brother Shu was saved, but what happened next was still unsettling.For five or six years across the border provinces, the hero Yu Luo, who challenged the adjudicator alone, is actually the founder and previous chairman of the East Asian Union...
This Nima is too unbelievable. When the thin monkey first heard the news, his first reaction was that his daughter-in-law for many years had become a mother-in-law. Finally, the clouds opened and the sun rose, and the big thick legs were hugged correctly.As long as Brother Shu's class teacher returns to the court, his brothers will have to be officials no matter what.
But the good times don't last long, and I haven't figured out which position is more suitable, and further news comes again.The alliance actually wanted to try the founder on the grounds of homicide!
Chapter 968
Thin Monkey had also been in the Redeemer back then, so he had a certain understanding of how the officialdom operated. To put it bluntly, he had a keen sense of politics.After hearing the news, the first thought that popped into my mind was that Brother Shu lost power in the power struggle!
What to do now?The original thigh suddenly became a big problem, and it would be miserable for someone to know that he was Brother Shu.There is no need for a trial at all, and Bao Buqi will fall into the ditch one day and will not wake up.
Whether to cut off the relationship immediately, take the property accumulated during this period and find another safe area to live incognito, or continue to wait for Brother Shu's order, which is a dilemma.Not only him, but probably together with Populus euphratica, Water Snake and others, had thought this way at the time.
In the end, Thin Monkey decided to take another gamble.Back then, escaping with Brother Shu was a huge gamble with his life on the line, and it turned out to be the right one.So why not gamble again!
After discussing with the water snake, the two decided to continue lurking in the market. As long as Brother Shu had no new orders, they would pretend to know nothing except regular contact with Populus euphratica.
Facts have proved that this time it seems that the bet is right again. The high-level executives of the alliance have been delaying in the trial of Hong Tao, and suddenly there is news of the public trial. Everything is very strange, and Shouhou sees hope again.
No, Brother Shu's order finally came, let him go to the safe zone in the east of the city to find the new immigrant from Xinjiang Province, pick up a person secretly to the cross street market in the new seventh district, and hand it over to a stall owner who sells copper wares.
