Chapter 129 The Strange Mouse
"December 31, [-]th year of Datong. Tomorrow is the holiday. After discussing with the men, we reopened the ventilation duct, made a spray gun with a thin steel pipe, controlled it with a steel wire, sprayed earthworm juice into the duct, and We welded a few traps and installed them at the mouth of the pipe, and caught some wild animals.

A few wild animals looked like big mice, but we told the children that they were rabbits, and the children were very happy, having a meat-eating festival. "

……

"July [-]th in the seventh year of Datong, today is the first anniversary of moving to the mountains, and now it is completely settled down, there is water in the fifth working face, and there are fish who don't know who threw it in, and now we are raising them. Fish, mice, and a few turtledoves were caught.

More than a dozen people have died this year, some with disease, some with mutation, and... some with dystocia, but the days are much better than before..."

"July [-]th, eighth year of Datong, before you know it, it's the second anniversary. Several major things have been done this year. One is that the ventilation pipes will be flooded and blocked when the flash floods come. We set up a rescue team and dug aqueducts.

The second is to collect available materials from the five working faces, and set up a warehouse on the fourth working face to improve the living environment.

The third is to find coal. With coal, we can use coal as fuel, or even boil water to generate electricity. Of course, this is just a backup measure. Now we still use electricity from industrial areas, but we must plan ahead, right?

Fourth, we have two more children. The mother of the children asked me to name them. I said one is Ji Yang and the other Nian Guang.Zhang Jiyang, Li Nianguang, Commemorating Sunshine are pretty good. "

"July 20, the ninth year of Datong, three years ago, we have lost more than [-] people over the years, an average of nine per year, but this year is the least.

Many of them are sick, or they have mutated, and they can't hide from the damn virus even after hiding underground..."

"On July [-]th of the tenth year of Datong, I have to keep the children's hearts from being empty and their hands from stopping, otherwise something will happen, something will definitely happen..."

"I asked the children to design a program that can send messages to the outside at regular intervals. I also designed a sensor program. If someone is connected to the Internet, the computer will remind me. I feel that I can manage..."

However, the work log starts from here, and the conversation suddenly changes.

It started when a few young people secretly dug a passage, intending to sneak outside, and were caught by the patrol team.

Several young people were punished, but the root of the disaster was planted here. The hatred gradually accumulated over the past few years due to some trivial matters in the common life quickly magnified infinitely in that closed space.

In the 11th year of Datong, although the command center outside the mountain was well sealed by the survivors, a technical failure still occurred, resulting in the interruption of power supply.

Endless darkness, stale air, nervousness, hatred, and despair of not seeing the future all combined together, and a tragic and unusual battle took place underground.

According to the description in the log recovered by the new commander afterwards, it was a battle that lasted for several months, during which some people mutated and became undead. After the extremely cruel bloody battle, only eight people remained in the underground mine. .

The eight people finally realized that they couldn't continue fighting like this, otherwise no one would survive. Finally, a peace agreement was reached and one person was elected as the commander.

Two more individuals were later dealt with for attempting to "provoke trouble and breach the peace".

All the people with hatred were wiped out, and the order was restored to the way it was when they first entered the cave, but the people were almost gone, and everyone was still injured.

The last day of the record stayed in September 14 in Datong, which was left by the last survivor.

There was a similar dark history in the settlement of Shudu in the past, but the time was not long.

Under the concealment of those in power, the impression of that period of history is not too deep in the minds of young people today.

After all, their parents were the ones who could survive and protect their families well.

And this bloody "work log" fully exposes the darkness of human nature. In it, countless strong people destroy the weak, meanness destroys integrity, and ugly destroys beauty, making everyone feel uncomfortable with the three views.

"If according to the diary, there is no one inside? Then who is the person who warned us?" Zhang Qiuyi suddenly asked a creepy question.

"Dad, Dad! The people inside replied!"

"turn around."

"it is good."

Soon, a dialogue window appeared on the light curtain in the meeting room.

"You... haven't left yet?"

"Thank you for your reminder, we have evacuated to Han'an, but please rest assured, we will definitely rescue you."

"who are you?"

"We are the new residents of Han'an City in the settlement of Shuzhou, how about you?"

"My name is Zhang Jiyang."

"Zhang Jiyang? You were born in a mine? You were born in the eighth year of Datong, right?"

"Yes, my mother's name is Sun Ning."

Tang Ning and Zhang Qiuyi looked at each other, and their hearts were shocked. The last person in the work log was named Sun Ning, but no one expected that it would be a young woman.

A woman, in such a situation, can still protect herself and her children. This woman can be said to be very remarkable.

"Ji Yang, don't be afraid, we will rescue you. You have lived in it alone for so long, so you shouldn't be afraid, right?"

"I... I was scared, I didn't know what happened, I just fell asleep as long as I remembered, and when I woke up, my uncles were gone, my mother was gone, and I was left alone."

Tangning's heart skipped a beat, "Ji Yang, how long have you been asleep?"

"I don't know what's wrong, I remember it was 12 years, but after waking up, the server time became 22 years."

"Have you lived here alone for more than three years?"

"Well, Mom said I must keep this server running, but I don't know how to use that boiler, I can only look around for batteries that are still alive..."

"Ji Yang, you are great! Now we are charging the server, don't worry, we will help you, do you have any problems in life now?"

"No problem, I have mushrooms and fish."

"Very well, you told us to evacuate as soon as possible, and you said that there would be danger at night. Now can you tell me what the danger is?"

"It was my mother who said that there are many monsters eating people outside."

"Did mom tell you what kind of monster it is?"

"My mother said that some monsters were changed by people in the town, and some monsters grew out of the reservoir. The monsters in the reservoir wanted to go to the factory area, but the monsters in the town blocked them. Later, the monsters in the town couldn't stop them. , mother and others came here."

At this moment, the alarm in the meeting room screamed, and Wang Aiwen's anxious voice also sounded on the communication channel: "Boss! There is an abnormality in the direction of Lujia Town!"

"Xiaozhi, use the companion function to continue chatting with Ji Yang, pay attention to your tone, Ji Yang may only be nine years old!" Tangning threw down the plate and ran towards the virtual cabin lobby on the third floor: "Qiu Yi, I'll control the Pluto warrior .”

On the light curtain is the infrared thermal image forwarded by the silver disc drone. Countless densely packed small light spots climbed out of Chuanshi Lake, climbed up the highway in groups, and some of them ran towards Lujia Town. Part of it is slowly advancing towards Weiyuan along the expressway.

The camera zoomed in, and the high-definition image turned around, and it turned out to be a kind of aquatic creature similar to a mouse.

That thing is not big, the largest body is only more than 20 centimeters long, and with the flat tail, it is only more than 40 centimeters.

However, the population of this kind of creature is huge, and its teeth are extremely sharp. A big snake crossing the highway at night encountered them. A black hill.

Moments later the hill crumbled away, leaving only a huge coiled skeleton.

Everyone understood why the countless undead and mutants in Lujia Town turned into bones in the end.

"Boss! They're approaching the industrial zone."

"I've already entered the cabin!" Tangning climbed into the cabin and put on the helmet.

The Pluto warrior far away in the vanadium and titanium industrial area suddenly started, took out a spare Skynet relay receiver and a battery from his body, and replaced it with the scrapped Skynet relay in the command center.

Drilled out from the command center, went outside to open the power module, connected to the power interface on the soldier: "Xiao Zhi, shut down the center!"

"Get it, Dad!"

The metal gate in the center began to close slowly. This place is very important. In addition to all kinds of information that have not yet been obtained, it is also the relay station for Skynet to connect to the inside of the tunnel.

"Uncle? Uncle?"

"Ji Yang, good boy. Uncle has encountered a technical problem and is dealing with it. Wait a moment, ha, it's done!" Xiaozhi's artificial intelligence companion tool works and chats well, and continues to stabilize through the Skynet relay just now. Zhang Jiyang's emotions.

Countless mice came out from all directions in the industrial area, following the scent Tangning left behind, they rushed towards the command center.

When the swarm of rats appeared on the edge of the command center compound, the alloy gate finally closed. Tangning put away the power supply module and closed the armor.

"Dad, Dad, they are following the scent, some of them are heading towards the tunnel, and they are about to overtake them!"

There was an automatic car at the entrance of the tunnel. Tangning didn't want it to be destroyed by the rats. The Pluto warrior pushed the ion engine to the maximum in an instant, stepped on the rats, and ran towards the mountain.

Countless monster mice jumped on the Pluto warrior, but the smooth armor prevented them from gaining a foothold, and they slid down one after another.

"Om--" Tangning activated the infrasonic attack, and the central nervous system of the surrounding monster rats was immediately shaken to pieces, causing a large number of rats to die.

Given the opportunity, Tangning immediately got rid of the rats and ran to the mountain road first.

The Pluto warriors run much faster than the swarm of monster rats. When they came to the mine, the swarm of rats was still halfway up the mountain two miles away.

The automatic armored vehicle controlled by Xiaozhi had already reached the intersection, and the anti-aircraft machine guns began to shoot at the road below.

"Da da da da da..." The pulse bullets continuously exploded circles of small blue light circles on the road, harvesting the lives of countless monster mice.

"Dad, Dad! You need to cut off the scent channel! They have very weak eyesight, and they will only follow the smell!"

"But there are too many strange mice!"

"Da da da da da..."
