Chapter 114 The ashes after the war

Yuan Yike choked up and recounted everything intermittently.

After hearing this, Zhou You looked at He Zhongyou again, his mood became more complicated and painful.

He was not suffering because he had lost a comrade who could turn his back to the other person, but he was deeply regretting the other person's fate.

As a veteran, He Zhongyou's back has been bent by the pressure of life over the years, and he is trapped in the trivial matters of life and the burden of supporting his family, unable to escape.

But the tenacity and bravery in his bones were just hidden and never disappeared.

His spirit of sacrifice is even more exemplary.

In the face of crisis, his choice is touching.

But even such an amazing person was still not favored by fate. Before his death, he was only allowed to stand at the mouth of the well and take a look at the world beyond the limit, and then cruelly extinguished his life.

Although he felt equally uncomfortable, Zhou You still patted Yuan Yike on the shoulder, "I don't blame you. Over-limit awakening is inherently accidental. Aren't others not awakening either?"

Zhou You's enlightenment could not help Yuan Yike immediately get out of his depression and self-blame.

However, she still forced herself to cheer up, said thank you to Li Xiaoling who had already bandaged her, and then immediately went to help treat the injuries of other seriously injured and lightly injured people.

Looking at her slightly curved back, Zhou You sighed again, walked out of the door of the power distribution room, and looked outside.

At this time, the ground was still piled with rat corpses, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Many construction workers are cleaning up the mess.

Some people have suggested that the meat of rats could be collected as a meat reserve.

But the proposal was rejected.

Zhou You believes that humans have not yet fallen to the point of needing to eat rat meat.

Moreover, the potential bacteria and viruses in mice pose a great threat to the human body.

For example, the famous plague in history.

Although there is no theoretical possibility of contracting the plague after being cooked and eaten, people always feel uneasy.

Zhou You closed his eyes and began to review the encounter in his mind.

He has given up looking for the Rat King.

What he wanted to figure out now was how the Rat King conveyed his orders to his subordinates.

The mobile phones held by the rear combatants were not only used for lighting, but also took video records of the entire battle.

Now everyone is collecting these videos on Zhou You's mobile phone, and then Zhou You will forward all the videos to Huayin through WeChat, and professional researchers at the national laboratory in the capital will conduct in-depth analysis.

Of course, Zhou You still wants to figure out the reason for himself.

After all, remote assistance technicians can only see the video, and their actual perception may not be as profound as that of people on site.

The fact that the Rat King used sound waves to convey orders can be ruled out. After all, under the impact of Devialet, Zhou You believed that even a rat would not be able to distinguish the voice of a single individual.

What's more, the Devialet speakers with full power failed to interfere with the Rat King at all.

So what could it be?

According to past human studies on mice, mice have ultraviolet vision that humans do not have and can see ultraviolet rays.

Zhou You thought to himself, could it be that the advantage brought by ultraviolet vision to the mouse allowed the Rat King to quickly issue orders?

But this is not very reasonable. After all, if the Rat King wants to use visuals to convey information, he must show something unique.

Even if the Rat King wants to hide himself, he must arrange for another messenger rat to be the scapegoat.

But there is no such special mouse.

Zhou You shrugged his nose again, trying to distinguish the so-called pheromones, but he obviously failed. The human nose does not have this ability.

Maybe pheromones?

Zhou You then recalled the scene when he first met another rat king at Lin Yao's house.

He clearly remembered that the rat king used two methods to give instructions, either by chirping, which is similar to human sonic language, and the other should be pheromones.

However, the pheromone transmission method of mice will be affected by the diffusion movement of molecules. No matter how fast the diffusion speed of the odor is, as long as it conforms to this principle, the mice that make dynamic responses should form a ring with the mouse king as the center.

diffusion.

But this was not the case this time.

The mice near the stairs basically received the same instruction at the same time, and there was no delayed response caused by the diffusion speed of the pheromone.

Could it be brain waves?

But this is too incredible.

Or perhaps, the Rat King has a unique vocal structure, and the rats have also evolved new hearing abilities.

Can the Rat King release infrasound waves or ultrasonic waves that humans cannot hear and will not be interfered by other noises?

After all, the frequency response range of Devialet speakers is set according to the range that human hearing can distinguish, so it may not interfere with ultrasonic and infrasound waves.

This possibility is indeed possible and cannot be ruled out, but Zhou You does not intend to limit his thinking to this judgment.

Or is it that mice, like some migratory birds, have evolved organs in their bodies that can sense magnetic fields, and then use biological radio to transmit messages?

Gradually, the more I thought about it, the more confused I became.

He really couldn't come to any conclusion.

In desperation, he simply shook his head and threw all the complicated thoughts out of his mind.

Forget it, let’s leave it to other scientific researchers to figure it out.

It's useless for me to worry about it here. Sooner or later, I will figure it out one day.

This matter cannot be rushed.

Just when Zhou You had just gathered his thoughts, he saw his eldest uncle walking over with a depressed look on his face.

Half an hour ago, my eldest uncle was high-spirited and full of fighting spirit, but now he was as listless as an eggplant beaten by frost.

At this time, my eldest uncle's hands were still stained with blood. Further inside, He Zhongyou's body had also been put into a zip-keeping bag.

My eldest uncle just helped collect the remains of He Zhongyou.

He walked up to Zhou You and sighed heavily, "I'm sorry, Zhou You, I... I just thought about it casually at the time, so I had to encourage Qianyun to arrange for someone to accompany me down to see the situation. If I didn't mention it,

If we wouldn't have come down, no one would have died. Four people! Just because of my sudden thought, four people died. How can I deal with their family members?"

As he spoke, my eldest uncle's voice began to choke, and tears burst from his eyes.

"Uncle, I don't blame you for this matter. Really, you don't have to blame yourself. This is not a tragedy caused by your personal mistakes. Inspecting and accepting the sealing condition of the house is work in the first place, and it is definitely a risky job.

.”

"No one wants a sudden situation to occur, but the significance of inspection and acceptance is to find risks that may cause disasters in advance. I can even say that it is fortunate that this happened today."

"If we wait a few more days and more ordinary people live in the club building, and if the rats launch such a raid late at night while we are sleeping, I don't need to tell you how many people will die. "

"There is no point in self-blame now. All we have to do and can do is to make the sacrifices of the victims more meaningful."

Zhou You's words were not only comforting his uncle, but also comforting himself.

After listening to what he said, my eldest uncle did feel a little better.

While the two were talking, the lights in the basement came on again.

It was the staff who rode a drone into the ceiling and found the severed lighting wires and reconnected them.

There was light in the room again, and people's mood also became a little brighter.

Zhou You took a deep breath and said to his uncle as well as himself: "It makes me sad when I don't have time, so get busy."

"good."

Almost immediately after the lights came on, Luo Xun started to feel hot.

Everyone immediately used drones to send her outside.

At this time, Dr. Lin Ziying had not completed the treatment, but Dr. Ma and Luo Xun's father, Dr. Luo, had already arrived.

Dr. Luo was running all the way to the basement, preparing to join in the on-site treatment of the injured, while Dr. Ma was already waiting in the treatment room on the dashboard of Zhouyou's hybrid off-road vehicle.

Luo Xun's physical condition is much better than Jiang Zhou's. Although there is no possibility of any problem in theory, for the sake of safety, it is reassuring to have Dr. Ma, the most skilled medical practitioner in the Zhou family team, in charge.

At this time, Zhou You thought about it for a while and decided to start revenge.

Since the Rat King chose to abandon the young rats and run away overnight, Zhou You naturally had no reason to be merciful.

We must kill all the remaining baby rats in Yulong Community, leaving no one behind.

Five minutes later, Zhou You reorganized and set off with a team of more than 20 combatants who were still physically fit and more than 40 former engineering personnel who had performed well in previous battles.

The action team uses two iron-clad children's toy all-terrain off-road vehicles as its main equipment, and a flatbed pulled by an electric balance vehicle as its "aircraft carrier". The aircraft carrier is equipped with multiple human armors such as cat cages and hamster cages.
