Chapter 4: Turbulence

December 28

I saw the brightness of the night, but it was a gloomy day.

At 7 a.m., large groups of helicopters hovered over villages and towns near National Highway 310. The helicopters repeatedly played a notice of mandatory shelter with loudspeakers. This sudden notice quickly disturbed villages and towns.

For villages and towns near National Highway 310, the police also sent vehicles and personnel to run around to persuade them to take refuge. At this time, groups of mice were everywhere near National Highway 310. The police's patrol vehicles were slid dangerously due to the fact that countless rats were crushed, and gradually these patrol vehicles could no longer drive.

In Ganshui County, the police and the army dispatched a large number of vehicles to transport refugees to the railway station. The railway station arranged a special train to pick up and drop off these refugees. Although the special train could only reach Zhongjiang Railway Station, thousands of elderly people, women and children still flocked to the railway station waiting hall, filling the railway station waiting hall. Even at the railway station, mice were everywhere, with dozens and hundreds of people crossing the road, running back and forth in the railway station square like a whirlwind. Some mice even rushed straight to the waiting hall. People waiting for the train seemed to be infected with rat phobia, and they screamed loudly when they saw only a few mice, and some women fainted.

At 9 a.m., Liu Xiao drove Paladin to Ganshui County. Lin Yusen and Song Qinghe were still sitting in his car. As soon as the car entered the county town, the speed slowed down, and there was a tragic scene of the arrival of doomsday.

All the shops next to the highway are closed. Looking through the store window, some restaurant clerks are fighting with dozens of mice with brooms and wooden boards. The mice are running flexibly in the restaurant. They climb up along the broom that is knocking on them, and finally pounce on the clerk with their teeth...

On the street, you can also see people chasing rats. Maybe it was too boring to stay at home. The men walked on the streets together, holding various tools and chasing rats in groups. The mice on the street seemed to be unafraid of people, and some small groups of mice were trying to fight back against the men chasing them. However, dozens of mice were no match for people after all, and they were beaten to pieces. The rats died, the wounded, and the half-dead were still rolling all over the ground. Some men disliked the half-dead mice, and chased them with a prank on their faces, either with wooden sticks, or directly smashed them with their feet. Hundreds of rats were killed, and other mice walked by the rat corpses, and then rolled by cars. The asphalt road was covered with blood.

On the road, the sidewalks were full of broken rat corpses, and even those with strong nerves felt disgusting. The army also dispatched vehicles to put a large amount of catalyst on the street, and the white powder was flying in the wind. The mice running around rolled and fell as soon as they touched the powder. Many dying mice were shaking on the road, shaking like drunkenness, and finally jumped up like dancing, falling down, falling down, and twitching violently...

"It's really cruel," Liu Xiao drove the car while sighing: "Now people have the advantage of rats and never show mercy to attack. In a few days, this offensive and defensive situation may change. Now that people kill rats too much, humans have become thorns in the eyes of rats. Once the rat group breaks through the defense line of the army, countless similar people will avenge them. Looking at the current scene, I always feel that rats are accumulating hatred, and when this hatred is released..."

Liu Xiao shook his head, and he recalled the terrible experience of falling into a group of rats in the mountains.

Song Qinghe snorted and said coldly: "This is not only mice, but all animals can be said to be like this. Humans overkill other animals. Countless species have become extinct for thousands of years because of human killing. Now mice have to bear the resentment of those animals to challenge humans! The only ones who challenge humans are not competent because they have no fertility. Rats are the only animals that can extinguish humans by relying on their fertility."

"Ha," Liu Xiao shook his head and said, "Think about the so-called famous dishes in the past, such as steamed bear paws, eating monkey brains alive... Countless people are following them, and they are unscrupulous in slaughtering and killing various animals. Now the retribution is here, and it is time for humans to taste the taste of being eaten by mice."

Song Qinghe shuddered, and Lin Yusen sighed silently.

Paladin suddenly turned the front of the car and slowly leaned towards the left side of the road.

"Fuck!" Liu Xiao grabbed the steering wheel tightly and cursed: "Maybe there was too much blood on the tires, so the car started to slip as soon as he entered the county town. If I had known it, I would have brought two anti-slip chains."

"Is there any problem?" Song Qinghe asked nervously.

"There is no big problem for the time being." Liu Xiao finally stabilized the car. He stopped the car, looked around, and smiled bitterly: "It seems that we are in trouble, and we can't continue to walk on this road."

Song Qinghe stretched his neck and looked forward. There were tall rat corpses piled up on the road ahead, and a few crows squatted in groups beside the rat corpses. The crows seemed to be full or no longer wanted to eat rat meat, and they looked absent-mindedly at the rat pile. Vehicles transporting refugees kept coming and going on the road, and tires tied with anti-slip chains rolled up and splashed layer by layer like meat grinders. Almost all car drivers were honking their horns desperately. Although there were not many vehicles on the road, the endless group of rats always made the drivers feel inexplicably panic. The sharp horn sound was like a despair moan in this city where rats were extremely active.

"Where are you going?" Liu Xiao asked.

"The helicopter troop base of Ganshui Middle School." Song Qinghe explained: "Recently, the troops may release rat killers on the rat group marching route. The Chief of Staff Lin Hai of the Southwest Military Region will be on the front line and personally commanded it. Chief of Staff Lin Hai hopes that I and my teachers will go to the front line to serve as an advisor to the operation."

"Oh," Liu Xiao felt a little moved and said with a smile: "Professor Lin, can you let me go and see this action together? I was originally here in Ganshui County to do news reports, and such things should have strong news value."

Song Qinghe curled his lips disdainfully and sneered: "What? Reporter Liu Da was so desperate that he just promoted a small position? The experience of being besieged by a group of rats in the mountainous area was not profound enough. This time he had to volunteer to follow the army to go out together? You kid is really life-threatening."

Liu Xiao grinned: "What am I afraid of? Anyway, I haven't even eaten some live chickens, so I don't believe that the mouse will eat me."

Lin Yusen sighed: "Xiao Liu, I will make your request to the army. But whether it is successful or not depends on the meaning of the army."

"Okay!" Liu Xiao started the car's engine and said with a smile: "I'll give it my best today. Even if the vehicle slips, I will send you to Dangshui Middle School. Professor Lin, you're ready!"

Paladin let out a huge roar and rushed forward quickly.
