Building infrastructure in a digital world

Chapter 839 839. Polar Night Storm 75
After a few seconds, he explained briefly: "I have some insights."

Su You understood.

Understanding this kind of thing is very mysterious. Just like inspiration, it may appear at any time, and the rewards it brings are also uncertain.

But as long as you can have insights, it is inevitable to improve your strength to the next level.

Suyou looked at Meike's information again - very good, he has been successfully upgraded to a master magician.

During the exchange, the master fire magician's fireball successfully turned the mountain of corpses into ashes.

"All these ashes are buried in the forest." In fact, after being burned, these ashes are no longer toxic and harmless. As long as you don't mind, you can bury them on the farm, which will also fertilize the fields.

But Suyou doesn't lack this little bit of fertilizer, so there's absolutely no need to burden herself with this.

Not only does it hurt me, but also the people working on the farm feel uncomfortable just thinking about the ashes of rats under their feet.

In this case, let's just put it outside and bury it.

Su You handed out the tasks and then told most of the people to do what they were supposed to do, leaving only a hundred people as backup.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Go back and rest. You can go to the mission hall to settle the reward for today's matter tomorrow." After saying this, everyone did not stay any longer. According to Su You's words, it was time to go home.

Most of the things outside have been solved. Although they have not killed all the gold-eating rats, there are still about one or two hundred gold-eating rats running around in the territory. But compared to the number of thousands, these two hundred or two hundred rats are really insignificant. What kind of.

The most important thing now is definitely the special mouse inside the dark cell.

……

After arranging things outside, Su You turned around and entered the dark cell.

As soon as Su You entered the dark cell, it was obvious that something was wrong with the atmosphere inside.

She paused and quickly came to the cage with the special mouse.

When she came over, she was a little surprised to find that the cage was empty, leaving only traces on the floor and gray mouse hair.

"What's going on?" She came to a group of people. When she first came in, she didn't notice what was going on here because of the perspective problem. When she walked in, she saw a group of people gathered in a circle and squatted in a The corner of the empty cell.

I don't know what they were doing, but they didn't make any noise at all... No, it should be said that they didn't make any noise. The only sounds in the dark cell were the squeaking of mice.

Extremely noisy.

"Lord." When Lake saw Su You coming, he immediately gave up a seat. The others did the same, giving up a spacious space to Su You.

"It's like this. When we came in just now, these gold-eating rats were already in a mess. We couldn't tell which one was special, so I asked them to catch all the gold-eating rats in that cage. "

Because they had all been caught, it was even more chaotic than before, so they were now working hard to find that special gold-eating rat.

It's a pity that there is no obvious difference in their actions. They can't tell them apart just by their appearance, so a group of people can only squat here and stare at each other for more than ten minutes. Su You: "..." Su You was helpless.

She thought for a while, and then asked people to take all the gold-eating rats in the bag to a separate empty room. Then she ordered: "You watch them, and you must not let them run away. When you find them, they may When they are hungry, don’t be in a hurry to give them food. Wait until they are so hungry that they can’t stand it anymore, and then give them food..."

Lake was still a little confused at first, but he was also smart and quickly understood.

The reason why they found that special gold-eating rat was because other gold-eating rats appeared to protect it, and they only needed to create conditions that allowed them to protect it again.

For example, since they are willing to protect the gold-eating rat, when food is scarce, will they give up food for that gold-eating rat?
Although this may not be reliable, it is not impossible. You can give it a try.

However, these gold-eating rats were quite full before, so they had to wait until the early morning.

In the early hours of the morning, someone heard the noisy movement of gold-eating rats in the room. The person watching outside saw that the time was almost up, and looked through the window to confirm that the gold-eating rats inside were already hungry. They looked crazy, and then they threw three fist-sized pieces of the most common iron ore into it.

When they found something thrown in, the gold-eating rats inside were startled at first, and then they seemed to have discovered food. After confirming that the food was non-toxic and harmless, they all jumped over excitedly.

But soon, they discovered that food was limited.

Several people who secretly hid outside the window to check the situation watched helplessly as the dense iron ore that was originally surrounded by a large number of gold-eating rats was exposed to the air again.

Then, they saw a fatter gold-eating rat being surrounded by two gold-eating rats coming to the iron ore.

"The lord is still smart, and the gold-devouring rat has indeed been exposed!" Someone outside the window communicated in a low voice.

The other person nodded in agreement, then responded in kind: "When?"

"Act now."

Within a few words of exchange, half of the special gold-eating rat had been eaten.

I don't know if it was full or something, but it suddenly paused, then turned around swaying. Although the people outside the window didn't know what it was doing, they didn't care. It and the others took advantage of this opportunity to quickly take action. The gold-eating rat was captured.

Su You, who had not slept all night, was stunned for a moment when she saw the fat mouse brought to her. Then she looked at the mouse's obviously larger belly, and her inner suspicion was confirmed.

Just like the queen bee, the gold-eating rats also have a queen. As the key to the reproduction of the rat colony, the queen is naturally regarded as the supreme being by other gold-eating rats.

And not only do they offer food, they are also willing to sacrifice their lives to protect the mouse queen.

"Is this also a gold-eating rat? It looks a little fat." Lake took a curious look. He wanted to see what was so special about this rat that it could make other members of the same race crazy to protect him. Moreover, he was hungry and wanted to eat it. Give away the food.

But after looking at it for a long time, he didn't find anything special about this mouse... except that it was a little fat?

"This is the rat queen, similar to the queen bee." Su You explained briefly, and Lake understood.

Most animals attach great importance to their offspring, and so do humans. In times of crisis, most people are willing to subconsciously protect their pregnancies.

"Then how will the lord deal with this rat queen?" If Lake were to handle this matter, he might simply kill her directly.
