I am Lapland’s rat!

It would be great if ordinary Shushu brothers could understand what Wu Xian meant. Awang could actually guess what Wu Xian was thinking from Wu Xian's demeanor and previous conversations!

After thinking for a while, Wu Xian replied: "No."

Awang obviously found it strange. He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Did that brown-haired human capture you and, uh... sterilize you?"

"..." Wu Xian's beard twitched, and it took him a moment to realize that Awang was talking about Silla.

After all, he stayed with Silla the last time he met Awang.

"How do you still know about sterilization?!"

Awang's beard also twitched along with Wu Xian: "I have seen humans bring their pets into certain houses that specialize in doing this, and when they come out, the pet's underside is gone."

Wu Xian: "...I don't! I just...don't want to breed yet."

To be honest, Wu Xian was both surprised and excited that Awang could communicate with him without any barriers like this.

After all, ever since he came to this land, he has never been able to express his thoughts completely like today!

Whether he was communicating with Lapland and others, or communicating with the rats in the East District after using the "rat pack" skill, he was actually just guessing each other's meanings, and was unable to convey complex ideas at all.

Regarding this point, Wu Xian was actually a little depressed. He just selectively forgot about this point and optimistically saw the good side of Shushu's life.

Now being able to chat with Awang like this undoubtedly made Wu Xian feel relaxed.

——Well, although the content of the conversation is a bit weird.

……

Of course, Wu Xian was actually very surprised that he could understand Awang's words and that he could speak in the same language mode so that Awang could understand him.

But while chatting with Awang and analyzing the morpheme components of his words, he discovered something.

In fact, the language they use to communicate is based on the development of the "rat language" used by mice to communicate, which only contains emotions and no specific content.

The conversation between the two mice is similar to the connection of words, just like a child who has not yet sensed grammar says "The dog picked up the ball for me", without tense, voice and connectives.

Wu Xian and Awang formed vocabulary through understanding the context and some idioms of rats. For example, a certain happy call means "breeding", a certain anxious call means "danger", and a higher pitch means "reproduction", and a higher pitch means "danger". "Affirmative", lower pitch means "negative" -

For example, the word "sterilization" is a word composed of a higher-pitched sound of "danger" and a very low-pitched sound of "breeding", indicating something that is "very dangerous and leads to the inability to reproduce."

As for some basic grammar, it was Wu Xian's own supplement to Awang's speech. After all, there is actually no way to say some connectives with no obvious meaning in rat language.

Even so, the conversation between Wu Xian and Awang was complicated enough, because he saw that the other rats in the room could not get a word in at all. The rats, including the spotted rats, turned their heads after listening for a while. The conversation between Awang and Wu Xian is meaningless.

……

"Eh? Why do I think so much, Shushu?"

While chatting with Awang about the past two months, Wu Xian went through the analyzed things in his mind.

Then he was a little curious about thinking itself. After all, he was not supposed to be a rat who only wanted to get to the bottom of things.

And when did he have such a deep understanding of grammar?

what.

Wu Xian suddenly thought of what was going on.

"Is the 'growth type' of the 'Rat Swarm' skill reflected here? As time goes by, after talking to different rats, my understanding of language has naturally increased!"

And he was completely unaware of this, which is very consistent with the explanation of "growth type".

"Does this mean that as I come into contact with more and more language systems, it will become easier and easier to learn them?"

"Good thing!"

In the not-so-spacious room, Awang was suddenly stunned when he saw Wu Xian in front of him. He chirped a dozen times to bring Wu Xian back to his senses: "Brother Yin, what did you think of?"

"It's nothing." Wu Xian walked over and patted Awang's body: "Zhushu, I feel that you have become fatter."

Men will have beer bellies when they get married, is it the same for male rats?

Awang shook his beard and took a step to the side in disgust.

Just now, Awang had already explained half of the things about the Rat Base located underground in Onnuoer to Wu Xian.

According to what it said, after the Sapphire Key incident, because it didn’t want to stay in such a dangerous place or follow Wu Xian and live among humans, it planned to walk back along the road Wu Xian and it came from before, returning to the familiar place. of West End Survival.

When he returned to the West District, he was just living in the streets as usual, looking for a wife and planning to have a litter of babies according to the guidance of his genes.

As a result, someone discovered the "mutated breed" of Awang, and suddenly a large group of people came, trying to catch it and sell it for money.

Awang killed two of them, thinking he could scare them, but they chased them even more fiercely, using various tools to kill the birds in turn.

It almost got captured once. If it hadn't been for its strength, Wu Xian wouldn't have been able to see Ah Wang now!

As a last resort, Awang had no choice but not to build a nest on the ground. Instead, he found a few rat holes that he could drill down into and entered the sewer.

As a result, those people still pursued him and even brought the hounds into the sewers, and also stun several hounds.

So Awang had no choice but to continue digging holes downwards with his sharp claws——

Accidentally, it penetrated the urban part of Onnor and fell onto the metal base.

1Chapter 16 The real country of rats!

"Did you do it accidentally or on purpose?"

——"It was accidental at first, but it was intentional the next few times."

When he said this, Awang's beard trembled.

It turned out that he had found his wife on the ground. After Awang hid on the base for two days, because there was no food on the base, he went to the ground along the original road to look for food.

In order to hide underground longer, Awang packed some food after finding it and took it down with him.

As a result, his wife and a group of strange rats smelled the smell of food, and they followed Awang, the reliable rat boss, all the way down to the base.

This time, it was as if Pandora's box had been opened.

The mice who came to the Onnuoer base found that this place made of all metal is really a good place to build a nest!

Although it’s a bit far, I’m a little tired from running around, and there’s no food, but it’s safer!

Here, no matter where you crawl around, there will be no danger. No human being will try to step on, beat to death, electrocute to death, starve to death, set on fire, catch and crush to death, or set traps to kill. they!

So, when the first group of "rat pioneers" who followed Awang to the base went up to the ground to forage for food and came back, they brought more rats with them.

Then one passed to another, and one to another...

Sometimes, Awang would respond to the requests of some mice and help them open some roads, so that the road to the underground base could almost include the entire West District sewer.

So, one group follows another, and one group follows another.

On the mobile base of the Onnor West Lot, a new Rat Kingdom was born!

……

Wu Xian: "..."

"Well, it turns out that your boy is the instigator."

After hearing this whole story, what else could Wu Xian say?

"I can only say that he is worthy of being my brother."

Awang's little eyes looked a little innocent: "I have actually warned my compatriots that this is not a good place to build a nest. After all, it is too far to go out to find food."

"Indeed." Wu Xian blinked. He felt the same way. After all, the spotted mole beast took him here, and there was at least three kilometers in between. This was far beyond the living circle of ordinary mole beasts.

"What did everyone say?"

Awang seemed to sigh and said somewhat helplessly: "So everyone asked me if there was any way to find food here."

Wu Xian: "..."

He guessed it.

But looking at how prosperous the rats are here now, it doesn’t seem like there’s a shortage of food?

Wu Xian was a little confused: "Awang, you don't really have any idea, do you?"

"Is my name originally called 'Prosperity'?" Awang blinked in surprise, "I like this name. Brother Yin, follow me."

Awang cheered up, walked a few steps, and walked under the vent. Then he stretched out his sharp claws, pulled it to the wall, and jumped up several times.

It seemed that even though he had family matters and was slumped in a chair all day long while his daughter brought food, Awang did not become a useless rat like Wu Xian imagined.

If Wu Xian's wall climbing proficiency is 85%, Awang's proficiency is...

Uh, 200%.

Yes, Wu Xian felt that Awang's "poor rat relies on mutation" abilities that he could not learn.

Seeing Awang sticking his head out of the vent and looking at him, Wu Xian also ran under the pipe, then grabbed the wall and jumped into the pipe.

So Awang took Wu Xian and went all the way through the pipeline: "Brother Yin, I'll take you to see it!"

"Okay." Wu Xian was also a little curious. Could it be that Awang found a way to forage in a mechanical structure like the Onnuoer base?

Isn't it chewing the pipe?

Wu Xian secretly made up his mind that if Awang led the rats to chew the pipelines, he would do anything to stop them.

After all, he didn't want Onnuoer to suddenly be unable to run when faced with a natural disaster one day.

This is a big problem!

Awang took Wu Xian past the crack in the ventilation duct where Wu Xian came in, but he did not go out from there. Instead, he ran along the ventilation duct and turned three times in the duct in one minute.

During this period, Wu Xian and A Wang met six times the same kind of mole beasts crawling in the ventilation ducts. Those mole beasts all greeted A Wang with great respect and cast curious glances at the unfamiliar Wu Xian. .

Wu Xian finally realized the complexity of the Rat Kingdom underground in the Western District. It turned out that the scene he had seen before was just the tip of the iceberg.

After a while, Awang emerged from another torn ventilation duct crack and came to a narrow metal platform. After walking a few steps, he got into another ventilation duct crack.

In addition, this ventilation duct is much more crowded. Although the specifications are still the same, for some reason, there are many rats running along a line in the ventilation duct.

"I'm super, can't I?!" After seeing clearly what the rats were holding in their mouths, Wu Xian felt that he was shocked again.

And this shock turned into an even greater shock after Awang led him out of another crack in the ventilation duct and came to a metal platform that was not too wide.

There was still darkness in front of him, but for some reason, there was a little fluorescent light in front of him, which weakly illuminated the entire space.

Less than half a meter above are the dark and thick beams on the lower surface of the city. The temperature in the air is very high for some reason. At this time, the temperature in Onnuoer is already close to zero, but here Wu Xian feels as if he has returned to summer.

Wu Xian got closer and found that the platform in front of him was covered with black humus and soil, mixed with a lot of spherical rat droppings and unknown sediments. Those small fluorescent dots were yellow crystals. Wu Xian is a little familiar with these things——

It is an active source stone that emits light and heat.

But what shocked him was not this, but the things planted on this entire piece of humus——

Yes, plant!

There is about an entire acre, and a whole patch of white umbrellas, tall and short, unevenly scattered across it.Among the humus, there were many rats and mice that were biting the large white mushrooms with their mouths, harvesting them from the mycelium below, and then stacking them next to the crack in the ventilation duct aside.

During this process, some rats couldn't help but take a small bite of the mushroom in their mouths as wages.

When they see Awang, they will come over with respect and say hello to this easily recognized boss.

Wu Xian turned around and found that the creator of all this, Awang, was walking next to him and looking at him triumphantly.

"That's it. I brought the soil that can grow mushrooms from above. I instruct my compatriots not to defecate everywhere. If you want to poop, come here to poop. Everyone has the task of watering it every day."

"There are five more places like this, and I only found five that were hot enough."

Wu Xian: "..."

He stepped on the ground, and the metal surface under the humus was a little hot. Maybe it was a fuel tank, an energy room, or an engine structure that would heat up during operation.

But his poor biological knowledge told him that growing mushrooms requires more than just temperature, humidity, nutrients, and ventilation!

Can this grow too?

"...Awang, Shushu, I think your luck should follow mine." Wu Xian sighed.

Awang tilted his head: "?"

1Chapter 17 Shushu’s friends!

Complaints are complaints, but Wu Xian still praised Awang in the end. After all, what he did was beyond his expectations.

The underground paradise of rats and mice is very cool, isn’t it?
