Although one can crawl in through the lower edge of the big iron door while lying on one's stomach, it is obviously not necessary.

The wandering humanoid robot walked to the front of the iron door and first casually raised his hand to try to push it.

There is indeed a blockage inside and it cannot be pushed.

At this time, Luo Xun, who had completed the work of misleading and luring the enemy in advance, drove the high-end drone that was traveling around and came here. It was suspended at low altitude inside the factory and could see the scene behind the door.

Luo Xun shouted on the portable intercom: "There is a steel wire tied to the door lock... otherwise..."

Before Luo Xun finished speaking, Zhou You controlled the humanoid robot to use a little force and broke the steel wire inside.

After that, the gate opened and the human army pressed on.

After walking in from the factory gate, the first thing that comes into view is a small rectangular square that is not large in scale.

On both sides of the small square are parking areas, and on the inside is the lemon warehouse.

Placing the warehouse in this conspicuous location was a small thought of the owner who originally invested in building this factory. The purpose was to place fresh lemons in front of customers who came to visit the factory to show the solid materials used in the factory.

To the right of the warehouse is the four-story office building.

At this time, there were about ten to twenty thousand rats scattered in this small square.

The average size of these rats is slightly smaller, but most of them are covered in wooden armor.

Next to some of the adult mice were several smaller mice that could barely crawl at a slow speed.

I think these are the baby mice that were born one after another after humans shrank.

At this time, the sentry at the street entrance had not returned yet, and the rats in the factory did not know that humans had invaded the territory.

These 20,000 or 20,000 of them all acted urgently in just a few dozen seconds upon hearing the noise outside the door.

As for those human drudges, they are not here in the square at this time.

You know where the human drudges are, so you have to go around the warehouse and go inside.

He didn't waste any time, just waved his hand, strode out, stepped on the No. 9 electric kart next to him, and quickly jumped inside.

The ground troops behind him were divided into two sides, and at the same time they pushed open the two large iron doors facing each other.

After that, the human army's march route was divided into two columns and began to advance toward the inside.

In the middle of these two columns is a gap area with a width of six meters.

A truck had already changed its position in advance and came to the front.

This truck should now be considered a special vehicle to a certain extent.

Its past identity was as a sweeper used to clean streets.

It's just that the two disc-shaped electric brooms with brushes on top of the front end of this sweeper have been completely transformed.

Nowadays, the contact between the electric broom and the ground is no longer a plastic fiber brush, but a jungle-like 4 mm diameter iron wire.

After the cargo truck entered the door, he placed two brushes on the ground, then started to move with a bang, charging forward.

The two wire brushes plowed through the ground like iron plows, sucking in the rats that blocked their path.

Wherever the cargo card passed, there were only broken corpses and countless blood stains on the ground, as well as blood splattered all over the ground.

As the cargo truck took the lead, Zhou You also controlled the No. 9 electric kart at his feet and began to charge forward.

Dozens of armored vehicles of various types, multi-legged robots, and hundreds of infantry followed closely behind, rushing towards the inside.

This human team went straight to the area where the human laborers were observed by Deng Tao from high altitude, which was the area on the left side of the large warehouse.

The remaining rats finally understood the purpose of this human army.

The enemy is out to save their compatriots!

I don’t know what kind of order the Rat King hiding in the dark gave. After a brief pause, the rats in the square ran to both sides without hesitation, as if they were about to give up their defense, and seemed to be planning to let humans rescue them.

companion.

This is indeed a reasonable choice.

But the Rat King who is sitting here may have another intention, which is to first put the human army in, and then use the numerical advantage to surround this army and the previous hard workers from all directions, and catch all the humans in one fell swoop.

However, when the truck in front and Zhou You and others passed by the warehouse and started to turn, nearly three hundred single-person airships and three Langya No. 4 airships took off almost simultaneously above the other box trucks at the door.

, and then drifted away in the direction of the office building along with the wind.

If it were a normal situation, so many aerial units taking off at the same time would definitely make the rats more vigilant, and they might even warn their companions in the office building.

But at this time, most of the rats present had just escaped into the underground passage and had no idea what was going on above ground.

Only a few took the risk to lurk near the gate. Some of the rats who were closer to the convoy and were responsible for monitoring the scene saw that the situation was not good and immediately scurried back to the ground, preparing to go to the office building to give a warning.

There are about dozens of these rats, they are quite large and they all look male.

But at about this time, all the drone units previously responsible for luring the enemy and misleading them arrived, and following the orders given by Zhou You in advance, they were suspended in the low sky above the rectangular square.

Under the obstruction of powerful sharpshooters represented by Luo Xun and Yin Yan, in the end not a single mouse was able to break through the defense line, and they were all nailed to death in the square.

As for the rats that were already in the office building, they didn't understand the situation and didn't know how to act.

In the past tense, the eyesight of rats had advantages, but it also had shortcomings. The most typical shortcoming is the origin of the idiom "rat's eyesight is short-sighted."

Rats can only see moving objects within ten meters. For stationary and relatively stationary objects, they have to get extremely close to barely see them clearly.

But now, as humans have shrunk in size, the intelligence of rats has also improved. At the same time, the body structure of rats is gradually undergoing some subtle microevolutions that are more in line with the needs of civilized creatures.

The eyes are the biggest change.

As early as during the battle of the substation, Zhou You noticed rats hiding in the high-rise buildings of the abandoned cotton spinning factory and watching the situation in the substation and the city.

Zhou You didn't think much about it at that time, because he already regarded rats as beings like humans, and instinctively felt that rats could see things clearly at long distances.

Later, I read around the autopsy reports from the National Academy of Sciences and found a clear answer to this question.

The eyes of mice are indeed different. In addition to maintaining the original super photoreceptor and ultraviolet vision capabilities, the structure of the mouse's eyeballs itself has undergone some changes, allowing them to respond more acutely to changes in distant light.

It can also better adapt to strong light environments, and it also has an adjustable pupil size change ratio that is close to that of a cat's eyes.

For this reason, mother rats in office buildings let their pups bask in the sun from time to time when they are still young to better adapt to daytime vision.

Now, the female rats in the office building and a small number of strong male rats responsible for security have indeed seen these airships.

But it is a pity that these mice have not yet been able to join the remnants of the high-voltage electricity tower at this time, and they have not realized the horror of the flames, nor have they thought that they and their cubs are all in the same building, which is perfect for humans to set fire to.

In their instinctive thinking, they may still be thinking, hurry up and fly over, just in time to remove all your bones and add some meat to the children.

At about this time, the Rat King, who was leading the remaining soldiers towards Dujia Village, met up with the sentry who came to report the news.

After the Rat King hesitated for a moment, he decided to continue leading his remaining soldiers and run back.

It actually wanted to come back for help instead of simply escaping.

The reason is very simple. The number of baby rats in that office building did reach more than 200,000!

Although according to the strict hierarchical social system of rats, the superior rats, especially the rat king, who occupy a high position in the group should not care about the life and death of the lower rats.

But the baby rats are different. These little guys represent the future of the group and must not be given up easily.

The most important thing is that the Rat King is actually not convinced.

The previous disastrous defeat under the high-voltage power tower was really a crime other than war.

Humans simply did not give the Rats a fair chance to fight. Instead, they relied on their skillful use of the sacred flames in nature to put the Rats into a desperate situation surrounded by flames from the very beginning.

But now, the battlefield between the two sides has changed from a mountain forest full of flammable trees to a reinforced concrete built by humans, and there will no longer be so many flammable materials.

So, we can have a fair fight! I can win!

Just as Zhou You feared before, rats are always burned with fire. Rats have indeed become more and more aware of flames, and now the Rat King already has the concept of combustibles in his mind.

But it is a pity that this rat king still does not live enough to realize from the previous lessons that what humans rely on when setting fires is not the natural substances in nature, but a chemical product called gasoline.

.

On the other side, human workers who were busy in an open-air construction site suddenly heard the roar of cars coming from ahead.

Then, everyone raised their heads and looked into the distance.

At a glance, they saw the sweeper with red blood all over the wire brush in front of the car.

I don’t know who was the first. The people who looked numb just a moment ago and looked like zombies suddenly threw away the tools in their hands and began to run towards the car wailing.

Survived.
