=========================
Qiao Miwei was dragged in by Qin Zhiyuan, and asked inexplicably, "What's the matter? What was the voice just now?"

Qin Zhiyuan said, "It's the rat tide and countless earth dragons. They should be fighting, but we were discovered by them just now, so they turned their spears against us."

Qiao Mi gasped slightly, it turned out to be a rat swarm, and it was so close without any obstacles around. If it was swallowed by the rat swarm, they would probably only have a pile of bones left.

"Why are they fighting?" Qiao Miwei asked.

Qin Zhiyuan shook his head, "Judging from the animal carcasses we found above, these guys may have been fighting for a long time. This is probably a final battle of life and death. As for the reason, the only thing I can guess is to snatch the chassis."

At this time, Qiao's father, who was tending flowers and plants in the garden in the distance, came over. Hearing what the two said, Qiao's father nodded in agreement, "Yes, I'm afraid they are fighting for this sinkhole."

Qin Zhiyuan asked, "Dad, these animals lived well together in this forest before, why can't they coexist peacefully now?"

Father Qiao said, "They used to be at the bottom of the food chain and couldn't cause harm to any creatures. Now it's different. Their size has grown, their strength has grown, and their appetite has grown. The advantage is that wild boars and tigers are probably not their opponents. In order to occupy this mountain, this kind of confrontation may have to break out sooner or later."

Qin Zhiyuan said, "Then what they earned is probably this sinkhole."

Qiao Miwei asked, "Could it be that there is really something magical in this tiankeng? Maybe it is, like the green plants we were going to check just now!"

This kind of deduction is very possible, but at this time there are rats, earth dragons and countless ants outside, and they can't go out to check, so they can only stay inside for the time being.

Yu Dong and the others were building a house in full swing. Qiao Miwei and Qin Zhiyuan went over to look at it for a while, and then they went to the field to loosen the soil. Before they had finished working for a while, Yu Yawen ran in in a panic , "It's not good, uncle and aunt, it's not good!"

After hearing this, Qiao Miwei and Qin Zhiyuan quickly dropped the tools in their hands and ran over, "What's wrong?"

Yu Yawen said anxiously, "There are a lot of ants going to the canyon, and they attack us!"

"What!" Qiao Mi was slightly surprised.

"Aren't they fighting the rats at the Tiankeng? How could it be... Could it be that they can't fight and retreat?" Qin Zhiyuan guessed.

Father Qiao snorted, "No matter what the reason is, we can't let them attack our people, Wei Wei, go to the kitchen to see how much oil is left, bring it all, we will block the entrance, so that those things will never come back !"

"Hey!" Qiao Miwei hurried to the kitchen, followed by Yu Yawen, and after a while each of them came out with a bucket of cooking oil.

Sun Ying came over and took the oil barrel from Qiao Miwei's hand, "Give it to me, the point you went out to locate is not at the entrance."

Everyone walked to the entrance. Father Qiao and Qin Zhiyuan had already set up a fire at the entrance. This was a barrier to prevent animals from entering Taoyuan by mistake. Yu Yawen and Sun Ying looked at each other, and then stretched out their hands to push open the gate of Taoyuan , there are countless bug corpses in front of you, many bug corpses are not complete, piled together in a bloody mess, and many are still alive even if they lack arms and legs, struggling in the pile of dead corpses, but no matter how they Struggling and unable to stand up anymore, seeing such a scene gave Yu Yawen a layer of goose bumps.

The entrance of Qiao Miwei and Qin Zhiyuan was placed inside the tiankeng, so even if they were standing at the entrance, they couldn't see the situation outside, but judging from the reactions of Yu Yawen and Qiao's mother, they knew that they might not be very optimistic.

Sun Ying unscrewed the oil drum and jumped over the firewall, Yu Yawen screamed in shock, "Big camp!"

Mother Qiao was also so frightened that she quickly reached out to grab him, "Come back quickly, it's dangerous outside."

Sun Ying stood at the door and glanced left and right, then turned over the oil drum and poured all the oil on the entrance of the tiankeng. In less than half a minute, he fled back in embarrassment. Mother Qiao saw countless mice rushed over here.

Father Qiao threw the burning firewood out of the door, and the fire burst into flames. Behind him, Sun Ying poured the cooking oil on the bundle of firewood next to him, and then grabbed all of them outside the door.

Due to lack of preparation, even though they blocked a fire wall at the door, many mice still sneaked through it. Yu Dong's group heard the exclamation from here, dropped their tools and ran over. When they reached the door, they looked outside. The situation couldn't help taking a deep breath, and then each of them grabbed a handful of sharp farm tools and rushed out with the lit firewood in the other hand, standing outside looking at the countless rats, earth dragons and dragons at the bottom of the tiankeng. The ants gave people a feeling of scalp numbness. They used their sharp forks to fork those little things fiercely, and at the same time gathered the scattered firewood together. Suddenly, someone let out a scream, and everyone turned their heads. I saw a mouse biting his calf fiercely, the sharp teeth almost protruding through the bones, the person next to him lifted the stick and beat the mouse's head to pieces, then lifted his leg and kicked the mouse. A mouse flew out.

After a while, the soldiers with their hands on both sides of the canyon arrived, and they shot these guys with homemade shotguns. The firewall on the other side was finally blocked, and the rats and ants that slowly came out were wiped out. Shi Ye jumped out with two barrels of cooking oil in hand. He called everyone to climb up and pour oil around the edge of the tiankeng, and then set fires everywhere. People watched excitedly as the fire spread wildly. screaming, but there is nowhere to hide. At this time, no one wondered why looking down from the top of the tiankeng is different from being in it.

The fire burned for a whole night, and the sky was full of smoke and dust, exuding a scorching smell. These people were brought back to Taoyuan by Sun Ying. Their heads and faces were blackened by the thick smoke, and they threw away the guns in their hands one by one. The tools just sat on the ground, and a fire killed countless animals. In retrospect, people felt both excited and scared. If they met these guys unprepared, they must be the ones who died. Know if those guys will retaliate against them.

Yu Dong propped his hands on the ground, looked up at the dark sky, took a deep breath of clean air, and then he froze suddenly, why the sky he saw outside was so different from what he saw now?Why didn't I see the fertile farmland and the small wooden houses outside?Why didn't you see the river at all outside?Yu Dong turned his head to look at Ma Yue.

The expression on Ma Yue's face was also very strange, but after receiving Yu Dong's gaze, he began to wink at him, and said silently, "Shut up."

Yu Dong shrugged, he still wanted to remind this fast-talking person, but Ma Yue turned around and asked him, and then to see if other people found something different, whether they were heartless or not, Yu Dong gestured one by one with his eyes, Then greet people to start preparing breakfast.

After breakfast, Qiao Miwei and Qin Zhiyuan opened the door and went out. The goal they entered was a pile of charred corpses, densely packed, with no place to stay. The entire bottom of the pit was burnt even the trees. Qin Zhiyuan looked Frowning, he went back and pulled the soldiers guarding the canyon to spend the whole day burying the charred corpses.

Qiao Miwei was also busy. She didn't sleep all day and all night. When she finished her work, she was almost dying, but she couldn't fall asleep anyway. She had no choice but to get up and talk to Qiao's father and mother.

People's worries came true, the base was attacked by mutated ants the next day, and those ants were even more difficult to deal with than the rat swarm they encountered at the beginning, because these guys could climb walls!They climbed in along the tall city walls and attacked people crazily. Fortunately, no matter how mutated these animals were, they couldn't get rid of the fear of fire, otherwise the base would suffer heavy losses this time.

And then the tiankeng was also attacked. Qin Zhiyuan hurriedly called the soldiers guarding both sides of the canyon back to the base. They are not completely without IQ. When they found that the people who appeared near the tiankeng suddenly disappeared, they did not retreat, but gambled in the canyon, causing everyone in Taoyuan not to go out for more than a week.

Fortunately, Zhang Shuilai is still there, and Qin Yulin is there, so there is no panic, but there is no Taoyuan supply, and the food in the base warehouse is decreasing day by day, Qin Yulin is so worried that his hair almost turns gray.

Finally, half a month later, those unwilling mice and ants retreated, but many spies were left behind, wandering around the base and the tiankeng at all times. Once they found someone, they would use special channels to spread the news to the old nest. Then attack humans.

When the rat swarm had just receded, Qiao Miwei and Sun Ying were going to deliver food to the base, but they were attacked by an ant swarm on the way. The ants appeared so suddenly that they only had time to drag Dabao into it. Taoyuan, as a result, three mules and three carts of grain all went into the stomachs of those ants. Qiao Mi's teeth were itchy with slight hatred, but Qiao's mother was relieved, she just lost her things, and she was lucky that she was fine.

The food at the base could not be replenished, and life became more and more pressing. Moreover, there was another thing that worried Qin Zhiyuan during this time. When dealing with those guys before, a person was bitten by a mouse. Within three days, he had a high fever and his wound was swollen. It makes the skin translucent, and the soft inside is full of blood. When you squeeze the skin lightly, it will burst open, and the red, yellow and yellow things inside will flow out. At first, people thought that the pus-like things would drain away. The wound will heal, but to people's disappointment, the pus is drained away, but the wound can't heal anyway.
