Chapter 65: Rats at night
The teammates walked forward as usual and checked the situation one by one.
"Have you discovered anything?" asked the farm owner Jack.
I don’t know if it was because I smelled the blood before, so I became psychologically biased. Yu Yueming always felt that his tone when he said this sentence was a little weird.
Liu Mengze continued to act as the responsible communication: "No special was found. However, the movement of mice inside these buildings is much less than that outside. The number of equipment we brought is limited, so we will not be arranged here."
After hearing this, Yu Yueming, who was not able to go forward to check carefully, was a little confused because there was outsider here.
It shouldn't be. The feed in the feed farm should be very attractive to mice. Why are there fewer mice moving here than outside?
He carefully identified the smell and found that although the smell of mice in the air was still very strong, it was indeed much lighter than that in other places.
What's there to scare the mice here? No, this possibility is not great. Judging from the current situation, the mice are simply not interested in this place.
Yu Yueming shook his ears and thought.
If it is an ordinary rat disease, the mice should eat wherever they can eat. But the rat disease in the dungeon must be related to certain special forces, so their actions will most likely have other purposes.
The clues are not enough. Although many guesses can be made, we cannot make accurate judgments from them.
When he left, he glanced at the farm owner following behind everyone with his own eyes, and found that he seemed to be staring at the player with a gloomy gaze.
But this expression only stayed on his face for a moment. Soon, he smiled again and talked casually with the players about the sky.
——
Next, the players went to the remaining two farms one by one. Unfortunately, except for the traces of rats raging, they still found no useful information.
Although they also wanted to obtain information from the locals, except for information related to rat disease, the other party would hardly have any unnecessary conversations with them.
David would tell them more or less about the things in the village, but they were basically irrelevant content such as buildings, climate, and specialties.
As staff members who came to kill rats, they had no reason to stop doing their jobs. Instead, they kept asking other things in the village. If they did it too abnormally, they would not only not be able to ask information, but also may also cause other questions.
During the investigation, he also took the time to inform his teammates of the clues he found. Unfortunately, because the farm owner was keeping a close eye on him before, he did not have the opportunity to explore the specific source of the bloody smell in detail.
After inspecting the three farms, the sky gradually became darker.
After everyone discussed it, they decided to return to the only Hunter Farm, which found the clue. The ostensible reason was that they wanted to observe the movement of the rat group at night, and the livestock in Hunter Farm were locked indoors, and the remaining large fields were very suitable for observing the situation. The fields of the other two farms were full of crops, which hindered their sight.
This reason is not entirely disguised. All the information before said that the rats are more active at night, and in order to achieve their goals, they really need to understand the situation at night.
After dinner, everyone, led by the farm owner, came to a wooden house on the edge of the farm ranch.
The wooden house is two stories high, with windows facing the ranch, and there is also a balcony facing the ranch on the second floor, with a very wide view.
The farm owner said that he wanted to accompany his family and children, but did not stay, but brought them a night vision telescope, a strong light flashlight and an air gun, which were all very practical equipment.
David stayed, but when there was no need to obtain information, his existence was an obstacle to the players. Many information about the dungeon was not convenient to communicate in front of him.
So, after some communication, Liu Mengze successfully used the words "You will need to lead us tomorrow, it's best to regain our energy first, and if something happens, we will call you again" to fool him to rest.
Yu Yueming lay bored on the balcony on the second floor, checking the progress of the task.
Although I have been busy for a day and have basically set up the traps of a whole vehicle, until now, the task progress is still a ridiculous "0", as if mocking them for working in vain all day.
None of the other teammates said anything about this, but they should be more or less anxious.
He looked back at the room. Liu Mengze and Qiu Tongchen each found a place to sit down, closing their eyes to rest. After looking downstairs, Li Si ran out by himself, picking and picking up stones of appropriate sizes into the bags in his hand.
Yu Yueming looked at it for a while, rested his head on his front legs, and closed his eyes.
——
Everyone took turns to guard the situation of the ranch. However, although it was completely dark, no mice appeared around.
Time passed by minute by minute. Although the players did not slacken off like this, their tense spirits were somewhat relaxed.
Li Si couldn't sit still anymore and finally opened up the conversation softly.
"Didn't it mean that there are a lot of mice in the evening? Is there something wrong? Should I make another call or wake up David and ask?"
"Wait a little longer." Liu Mengze stopped her, "I asked before, and they said that the time when mice appear is not regular. Let's observe it again."
They were talking in a low voice. Yu Yueming, who was sleeping on the balcony, suddenly raised his ears, stood up suddenly, and looked towards the direction of the ranch.
He heard a rustling sound from the grass over there.
After looking closely, some grass began to sway unnaturally, and it was obvious that some creature was passing by under it.
Other teammates who noticed Yu Yueming's actions also quickly grabbed the equipment and rushed to him one after another, looking at the situation in the ranch.
The mice did not move quickly, so the movements they caused were very mild. If they were not for the excessive number, they might not have made a sound that could awaken Yu Yueming. This was completely inconsistent with the information they had obtained before that "the mice were very noisy at night and were running around."
This is not normal. Although Yu Yueming doesn't know about rats, he has also seen news about rats. In those news scenes, groups of mice are running around the ground, and it is definitely not as quiet as the scene now.
Players adjust their telescopes and watch the movements of the rat group.
Instead of heading towards the direction of the cabin, they quietly marched towards the main house of the farm, like a huge, pitch-black blanket, squirming on the ground.
Yu Yueming was observing the movement of the rat group, and suddenly felt a hint of heat rising on his chest - the old pendant was emitting a little heat, as if it was sending an alarm to him.
He looked around and soon saw a slightly abrupt figure in the distance.
It was a mouse squatting on the ground, with its front standing upright.
Its size is much larger than that of an ordinary mouse, almost equivalent to that of a cat. Because of its stance that stands out from the crowd, its existence is very conspicuous.
However, this is not the fundamental reason why it attracted Yu Yueming's attention.
As if he noticed the gaze, the rat twisted his face and grinned with a strange, absurd smile.
That's not something a mouse can do.
