Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 145 Rat Tide
The few people here haven't formally studied for a few days, and another group of people came from outside. After Qin Zhiyuan saw it, he smiled, okay, the people brought by An Jinyu are here, if Li Xin doesn't send someone over It's not him, come on, one is teaching and the other is also leading, and the situation at Li Xin's side is worse than his side, nonsense is nonsense, and those who should help still have to help.

The vegetables picked from Taoyuan had been dried in the sun for a few days, and now they were wilting. Qiao Miwei took thick thread from Qiao’s mother to string the peppers into strings, and then quietly sent them to the warehouse in the North Corridor. Those wilting cucumbers and persimmons were also quietly sent over.

That night, the people at the base were busy with their work, and when they gathered in the underground hall for dinner, they were surprised to find that there were tomato soup and cucumbers in the dining car. Although fresh vegetables were grown in the indoor planting room, but They are all common vegetables with a short maturity period and high yield, such as Chinese cabbage and radishes. Even if they are eaten, they are only used to supplement vitamins for the people in the base, although there are only a few scattered floating in the persimmon soup. There is only a small spoonful of persimmons and cucumbers per person, but even so, people are very content. In winter, they can't even eat corn mush.

While savoring the food carefully, people sighed with emotion about the past year's life, and imagined infinitely about the future construction of the base.

However, the temperature rose to 37 degrees in two days, and the rising and setting time of the sun became more and more normal. The construction speed of the house has also been accelerated accordingly, and the construction speed of the watchtowers in the middle of the wall has naturally been accelerated. The pigsty for Yu Dong and the others has already been built, but the piglets inside are too small, and I am afraid that if you want to eat pork After waiting for a year and a half, Yu Dong and the others had the idea of ​​entering the mountain, but because a hunting team had already entered the mountain, they had to apply to Qin Zhiyuan first if they wanted to go.

Qin Zhiyuan was quite supportive of them going into the mountains. After all, these people were serious soldiers, stronger than those boys in the hunting team, and better able to survive in the wild, so Yu Dong and the others were incorporated into the hunting team. The young men in the team taught these people hunting skills, and then Yu Dong and the others went into the mountain with enough dry food and equipment. They did not simply wander around the back mountain, but went deep into the mountain. A place where no one goes all year round.

A few days later, these people came back, carrying a lot of prey on their shoulders and hands. Because the surrounding hills are often haunted, the animals all returned to the deep mountains after the weather warmed up. Therefore, the harvest of the hunting team during this period It wasn't very good, so the prey brought back by Yu Dong and the others excited the people in the base, and they ate meat again at night!
However, Yu Dong and the others brought back news that the animals in the deep mountains seemed to have mutated, and I don't know why, these animals probably didn't get much sunlight, so they were a little irritable. The troops have been tempered well, and they can still deal with these crazy animals. It might be dangerous to replace them with other people.

Although they knew something about the situation in the mountains, people did not pay attention to this news, so when the news that the construction team was attacked by a group of crazy pheasants came back to the base a few days later, people were stunned in surprise.

pheasant?That kind of chicken, which is so timid and runs away when it sees people, will actively attack humans? !But looking at the wounds on the young men who were brought back, people had to believe that the world has begun to change. Qin Zhiyuan asked people to carry these men to the infirmary for bandaging with a sullen face. He personally went into the back mountain, but unfortunately he was unlucky, he walked for a whole day and didn't meet a single animal.

There are still a lot of things waiting for him to make decisions in the base, and it is not easy to walk in the woods for a day, so Qin Zhiyuan can only turn back resentfully, but after he went back, he froze from every team. Some manpower was mobilized, and the guards were reorganized to patrol around the mountains and forests every day.

Perhaps the increase in the number of people around the forest made the animals vigilant, so there was no trace of animals after that, but a few days later Zhang Shuilai fled back with a group of people in embarrassment. It turned out that the coal pit in the back mountain was attacked Attacked by a large group of rats.

Those mice were three or four times their original size, with pointed claws and protruding teeth. There were thousands of them, and they were uncountable. Fortunately, Zhang Shuilai did not panic at that time. It would be bad to be close to them, so Zhang Shuilai ignored the danger and asked people to bring firewood to surround the crowd and light it on the periphery. Animals are afraid of fire, even those crazy mice are no exception. They are unwilling to surround the fire During the period, several attacks were organized, and at the cost of sacrificing dozens of mice, a hole was torn open by them. The two gangsters next to them were frightened, and did not have time to retreat and drive them away with the torches in their hands. The rats were dragged out by the rats, and then the rats submerged the two of them. Zhang Shuilai only heard a few shrill screams. When the gap was blocked again with fire, the rats retreated, leaving only Two red bones.

Zhang Shui was furious, grabbed a handful of firewood that was still burning, and threw it into the rats. The fur of those rats was mutated, with longer, harder, and easier to burn. Throwing this kindling in, those rats The hairs lit up immediately, and a burnt smell came out immediately. Although those mice mutated, they evolved their bodies, not their minds, and there were too many of them, crowded together It's too dense, even if the burning mouse struggles desperately, it can't extinguish the flames on its body, but rubs against the mouse next to it. Once the fire is lit, it will not be so easy to extinguish. The mice screamed After a while, one piece was burnt to death.

People saw that this method was feasible, and they grabbed firewood and threw it into the rats. The rats suffered heavy losses for a while, and finally the rats retreated, and Zhang Shuilai ran back to the base with the people in a state of embarrassment for help.

In less than a few days, people were attacked by animals one after another, and there was also a terrible swarm of rats. For a while, people felt a sense of crisis in their hearts. Qin Zhiyuan called Zhang Shuilai to go back again, and quickly called the rest of the people back. It's almost time to stop. In order not to be attacked by rats, it seems that we have to hurry up and build the wall, and then think about the coal yard.

Zhang Shuilai quickly went back, pulled the people back, and put them all into the construction of the wall.

The base also started working day and night, and the kiln was burning day and night. Seeing that the watchtowers on the gaps were built one by one, the anxiety in people's hearts was even stronger. Hurry up, hurry up, and quickly block the wall.

In the middle of the night, people were busy building the wall, and suddenly there was a rustling sound from the depths of the forest. The sound was still very small and weak at first, and it was easy to be ignored by others. After a while, it became louder. The bricks were placed on the mud, and when I looked up, I saw green light spots all over the mountains and plains in the forest. I was so frightened that I cried out and threw away the tools in my hand. His scream was so shrill that everyone nearby jumped. People's screams came from the place one after another. The person next to him pulled the frightened man over, took out a match and struck it on the side of the matchbox. With a stabbing sound, a burst of flames sprang up. Throw it on the pile, and then the fire is lit up. The red flames illuminate the surrounding area. People look into the forest, and then they can see the rats all over the mountains and plains tremblingly. In an instant, these rats They approached the edge of the fence, but because Qin Zhiyuan had already prepared, he piled up a lot of firewood on the outside of the gap, with wood and coal underneath, so that it would not be a problem for the fire to burn for a whole day. With the buffer of this time, they would definitely The last four watchtowers can be completed.

Qin Zhiyuan heard that the rat swarm appeared again, so he hurried to the front to have a look. Although Zhang Shui had heard about the rats all over the mountains and plains before, Qin Zhiyuan still gasped when he saw it with his own eyes. These rat swarms may be more or less ominous!
He slapped the wall next to him and said, "Let's go ahead and build a single-piece wall first, and then plug the gap. As for the inside, it's nothing to lose four watchtowers."

"Yes." Zhang Shulai saluted and hurried out to find someone to inform.

Unexpectedly, there would be a day when they would be besieged by rats. Qin Zhiyuan picked up a three-quarters burnt log and threw it into the group of rats. Immediately, several rats were set on fire, and the surrounding rats were not spared either. All of a sudden, the fire was trembling and sprang up, and it was out of control, which aroused the fierceness of the mice, and those mice rushed into the fire one by one desperately, and the sparks all over them spread the fire.

People got excited seeing the squeaking rats burned by the flames, and they all took torches to set fires around. Qin Zhiyuan hurriedly let people look at these excited villagers, don't turn over the wall from joy to sorrow, that would be terrible .

There were so many rats that almost surrounded the entire base, but only these four gaps in the entire base had not been blocked, so the pressure was greatly relieved. Qin Zhiyuan inspected these gaps back and forth, and found the fire piles blocked outside the gaps. The surrounding area is very solid, and people are relatively restrained. Even throwing firewood outside did not tear down the fire wall.

Throughout the night, the rats outside the fence tried to break through the fire wall, but the reality showed that their actions were completely futile. When the blood-red sun climbed into the sky, the rat tide had to recede, leaving a scorched black ground At this time, the single-piece wall on the four gaps has been built. People can't help but click their tongues looking at the charred ground and those corpses outside. Only then did people realize how good the fence was. If there were larger animals attacking the base in the future, only such a fence would be able to withstand it.
