Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

Chapter 411 Chapter 411 Rat Hole
The rain was far away, but the weeds Wan Tao mentioned soon grew densely.

The wind is still strong these days, and there are occasional refugees outside the fence trying to sneak in.But as long as there are no vicious people, the farms will not be wiped out.

Ye Fu went to check the water cellar, except for fetching water, it was closed at other times, it was airtight and dust could not get in.

It's just that there are more and more dead rats outside the farm these days, Ye Fu asked everyone to wear masks and gloves, and everyone went out to pick up the dead rats, and then burned them collectively.

Tongcheng Farm was flooded, Tang Yizheng came over with a rooster, and exchanged some rat poison with Ye Fu.Rat poison is made of dough with red poison smeared on it. This color is also to make the refugees outside be more vigilant and avoid eating it by mistake.

"Ye Fu, you said these rats won't spread like the cockroaches before?" Fang Wei said so, and everyone else felt their scalps go numb.

"There is a possibility. The number of rats has been increasing these days. I suspect that there are rat holes nearby. Tomorrow, everyone will pack them tightly and go up the mountain with me. If they find their base camp, they will be set on fire."

"Yes."

After throwing hundreds of dead rats into the pit, Ye poured a bowl of gasoline onto it and lit a match.

The next day, Ye Fu took Jiang Rong, Qi Yuan, Fang Ming, Wu Pei, Xie Ruijing, Xu Ning, and Zhuo Qing up the mountain, and the two dispersed in teams to find rat holes. Instead of letting them multiply and expand their numbers, it is better to Eliminate them all early.

"Jiang Rong, can you feel where the mice gather?"

Jiang Rong shook his head, "I haven't smelled a special smell for the time being, and I haven't heard the cry of mice."

The mouse's cry is very strange, similar to that of a squirrel, but sharper.

"Rats like dark places, and caves or shady burrows may be their habitat."

Ye Fu distributed a barrel of gasoline to everyone, and if they encountered a mouse hole, they would just pour the gasoline into it and light it up.

Ye Fu was a little worried, "It can't be far away, the mice run very fast, they appeared in the farm, maybe they smelled the smell of grain in the farm."

"It's okay, let's look slowly, we will definitely find it."

As soon as Jiang Rong finished speaking, the crossbow arrow in his hand was fired, and on a tree behind, the crossbow arrow nailed a huge mouse to the trunk.

Jiang Rong took down the crossbow bolt, and the mouse fell to the ground. Ye Fu picked it up with tongs, then threw it into a bucket, and burned it after filling a bucket.

"There are still many mice in the mountains. They are active during the day and night, and they don't seem to be afraid of the sun's strong light and odor."

Ye Fu suddenly thought of a question, "Could the blood bubbles on the mouse be burned by the strong sunlight?"

Jiang Rong shook his head, "No, I feel more infected and rotted."

The two continued to wander around the mountain, and soon shot a bucket full of rats. After Ye Fu burned them, he was about to go further into the mountain, but he heard whistles coming from the mountain not far away.

"It seems that Qi Yuan and Fang Ming are searching over there."

Ye Fu's expression changed, "I guess we are in trouble, let's go and have a look first."

Before the two of them came to the col, they smelled the smell of burning gasoline, this smell even covered up the stench, and it went directly into Ye Fu's nose.

Fang Ming and Qi Yuan stood not far away, frantically beating the fleeing mice with shovels.

"Ye Fu, Jiang Rong, come and help, there is a rat hole here, and it's full of rats, ah, rats, I'll hit..."

Ye Fu was speechless, "Didn't I say that? If it's a rat hole, find a stone to block the hole after lighting the fire."

Qi Yuan hurriedly apologized, "It's my fault, I forgot."

Ye Fu found a big rock, first blocked the mouse hole, then took off the long knife on his back, aimed at the mouse running over, and chopped a mouse as fat as a piglet into pieces. two halves.

Fang Ming is a little afraid of mice, everyone is hacking and killing, only he dodges.

Others also came one after another, and started chasing the fleeing mice.

After the mice that escaped were wiped out, Ye Fu walked to the mouse hole, and heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the voices inside gradually subsiding.

"Wait until the burn is clean before leaving, so as not to cause a fire. The protective clothing on everyone's body will be disinfected and cleaned after taking it back. Don't take off the masks and gloves."

"My God, I just heard a "squeak" sound, and then I found this hole. I lay down on the ground to see what was inside, but a mouse crawled out of it. Fang Ming and I quickly poured gasoline , Because I was too anxious, I forgot to block the stones, you don’t know how scary the rats are inside, people with trypophobia had better not go to see this kind of freezing, they might be frightened to death.”

"Approximately how many mice are there?" Ye Fu asked.

"There are at least a thousand of them. They are crowded together, as if they are eating a piece of carrion."

"Rotten meat?" Wu Pei was puzzled, "Are they killing each other?"

"It may be human flesh. After all, there are many refugees hiding in the mountains, and many of them died of starvation and thirst." After Fang Ming finished speaking, he ran to the side and vomited.

"It seems to be burnt clean, let's go."

Ye Fu glanced at the oil barrel in Qi Yuan's hand, "Is there any gasoline left?"

"There's still half a bottle left."

"Gasoline is easy to ignite, just pour a little."

Everyone dispersed to search for the rat hole again, Ye Fu looked at the blood-dripping long knife and felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

The two had just entered the deep mountain, and met several mice. The mice ran very fast, but Jiang Rong shot arrows very fast, and several mice were shot to death very quickly.

Ye Fu had a flash of inspiration, "I remember when we entered the mountain before, we saw a collapsed cave, let's go there and have a look first."

Jiang Rong nodded, "Okay."

According to Qi Yuan's description just now, it can be seen that the number of rats in the rat hole has become uncontrollable. If it is not eliminated in time, I am afraid that in a week or two, the entire Wuliang Mountain will become a paradise for rats.

The ground in the mountain had already cracked badly, and when the wind blew, the sand on the ground immediately swept up and all fell on the people.

Fortunately, they were packed tightly, and Ye Fu even wore goggles.

When Ye Fugang came to the cave he had seen before, he was about to check it out, but Jiang Rong suddenly grabbed her.

"Stay back, I'll check the situation first."

Ye Fu quickly stepped back a few meters, Jiang Rong stepped up and down, and listened quietly for a long time, then he made a gesture, and Ye Fu quickly brought the gasoline to him.

"The cave is relatively deep, and there are many rats. I will shoot a flaming crossbow into it, and you will find some stones. We have to plug these small holes. By the way, bring me some poisonous powder and sprinkle it in it first." .”

Ye Fu hurriedly did so, Jiang Rong soaked the arrowhead in gasoline, and then hung a cloth ball soaked in gasoline on the crossbow bolt. The moment he shot the crossbow bolt, the fire turned into a murderous hurricane.
