The new era strikes

Chapter 48 The Predicament of U County
Just as Lu Tian passed the checkpoint and rushed to County U, an urgent meeting was also held in this county.

The door of the conference room was tightly closed, and the inside was smoky, with half-smoked cigarette butts all over the floor. Even if the air conditioner kept changing the air, it couldn't stop so many people from smoking wildly.

Some documents were scattered on the table, and seven people could be vaguely seen sitting on chairs. Through the smoke, everyone was frowning, as if there was something difficult.

"Captain Liu, is there really no better way?"

A middle-aged man with a slightly fat body, a small belly, and a lot of soot on his neatly combed short hair at the moment, his frowning brows seemed to be able to put down a blade, he opened his mouth to break the momentary silence, and asked helplessly .

He is Yi Jie, the county magistrate of U County. He has been worrying about the rat disaster for half a month, and he feels that his hair has turned a lot of white. It has not been resolved until now, and he did not expect the situation to become more and more serious.

He had asked this question countless times in the past three days. He always had a little hope, but he didn't get a satisfactory answer every time.

Half a month ago, there were a large number of rats biting the crops in the county. It started to deteriorate a week ago, and the phenomenon of biting people began to appear. Three days ago, I couldn't resist it, so I asked the army for help. But until now Still haven't got the situation under control.

"Major Yi, the rats are multiplying too fast. The best way now is to move the masses first to avoid more casualties."

Head Liu, formerly known as Liu Zhengshan, is a middle-aged man in military uniform. He is the head of a certain regiment in the Southern Military Region. They can't finish it with explosives, and now they are facing a new round of breeding season. In order to avoid another casualty caused by the outbreak of rats, he can only ask some local people to retreat further.

"Commander Liu, it's not that I don't want to evacuate, but that there are too many people. There are a large number of rats in 37 of the 28 towns in the entire county. There are 80 people who need to evacuate immediately. It is difficult to resettle them in a short time. There will still be obstacles, after all, some people will definitely not want to leave, and it will be difficult for us to carry out our work."

Yi Jie poured out his bitterness, his brows furrowed even deeper.

Liu Zhengshan on the opposite side couldn't say anything, after all, everyone has their own difficulties.

Sitting next to him was Xiao Changfa, a high-ranking county official, tall and thin. He threw the butt of his almost finished cigarette on the ground and stomped it vigorously, as if it was a damn mouse outside.

He had dark circles under his eyes, and he didn't sleep well like the rest of the people present. He took a sip of tea to moisten his dry throat.

"How about increasing the amount of poison to control the number of rats and give us more time to evacuate."

"Secretary Xiao, the effect is getting smaller and smaller. Those mice are very smart."

Another deputy county magistrate spoke up. He was in charge of this operation. He used more than 100 kinds of poisons in the past half a month, but usually killed a batch of poisons, and the rest of the rats would not be fooled, as if the rats were dying. After passing the message, even if the rats encountered food mixed with poison, they would not eat a little bit of it.

Fortunately, there are many types of pesticides and other chemical drugs. At the same time, spreading each poison throughout the county will always kill a considerable number of rats, which can be considered to have played a big role.

The information about the rat disaster was only revealed three days ago when it could not be concealed, and their battle with the rats had lasted for more than half a month. In the past half month, not only poison but also explosives were used to exterminate the rats. Some old methods were used: burning and flooding, and even killing by humans. However, these mice are too tenacious in life, and their reproduction speed is fast. A new generation is born every day, so under such an environment, the number is still geometric. increase.

"Can you use missiles to kill these damn rats at once, so much trouble."

Another deputy secretary expressed his opinion. He had the most cigarette butts under his feet and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth. He was a senior smoker.

Hearing what the old smoker with yellow teeth said, Liu Zhengshan shook his head, threw the butt of his cigarette on the ground and stepped on it, explaining.

"You don't understand the situation. The use of missiles does not mean that they can be used immediately. This needs to take into account the impact of many aspects, and it will definitely not be realized immediately."

Head Liu threw the documents in his hand on the table, and continued: "The consequences of using missiles are too serious. It will almost destroy the landform and vegetation of the entire U County, and even some infrastructure will be destroyed. Those people will Agree that their house was blown up?"

"And according to my estimation, even if it can be used in the end, it may not necessarily solve the problem, because when the missile bombs the ground, the mice can hide underground. As long as the speed is fast enough, some of them will definitely survive and solve the problem at all. No problem, this situation will still happen after a while, and missiles will not be used again. Missiles also need to be bought with money, and each round of ammunition is a bundle of money. This kind of burning money will not happen Problem-solving behavior, I don’t agree with that.”

When Liu Zhengshan said this, the thin face of Yi Jie, the county magistrate, became more sad. He is a local, and he doesn't want his hometown to be destroyed by rats, and he doesn't want his fellow villagers to leave their hometown.

If we want to properly solve this problem now, we must do this first. Please take a look at this document.

Liu Zhengshan handed the information he had just obtained to the county magistrate, and the other six people also looked at each other slowly, all lost in thought.

"This is the information we just got. After a few days of observation and speculation, people on our side have come to the conclusion that there is a leader among the mice in the entire county, that is, the Mouse King, and his intelligence is quite high. , can direct the actions of the entire ethnic group.”

Head Liu just finished speaking,
With a slap, County Magistrate Yi's rough hand on the opposite side slapped the table, and suddenly realized.

"It's no wonder that in the past half a month, I have never seen these mice fall into the same trap twice, and they seem to be very organized. I have always been a little surprised. It turns out that there is a rat king."

"Yes, this rat king should have a special way to transmit information to the rat population in the whole county, that's why these rats are so aggressive and organized, so it's difficult to hunt and kill them on a large scale."

Liu Zhengshan spoke out the conjectures in the documents.

"Then if we kill the rat king, will we be able to get rid of these rats better?"

Xiao Changfa touched his short beard and asked the question that everyone else wanted to ask.

"It's like this. If you kill this rat king, the group of rats will become a mass of loose sand in a short time without the leader to command them. At that time, even if these rats are stronger than before, if they can't get together , give full play to the advantages of numbers, that is not a big threat to us, and basically solve the problem this time.”

Liu Zhengshan lit another cigarette, hesitated lightly, expressionless.

"But the problem now is how to find this mouse king among the tens of millions of mice, and how to kill it under the protection of many mice. This is the real difficulty."

"Yes, there are too many mice, and they look very similar. How can we find this mouse king among the many mice? If it hides deep underground, then we will have no way to find it."

Xiao Changfa twirled the cigarette ash, and responded to Commander Liu's words.

Everyone leaning on the chairs smiled wryly in their hearts, went around in a circle, and finally couldn't solve it.

Is it really necessary to move the whole people?

"Squeak~"

The door of the closed meeting room was opened from the outside, attracting everyone's ideas.
