Every time I get a chance, I borrow money from someone, and I can make up all kinds of weird reasons. Once I borrow the money, I immediately gamble with it, and then quickly lose it all, and I never get it back.

Gradually, relatives and friends who were close to Duke's family became really afraid of him. They basically avoided him when they saw him, and they didn't even dare to say hello to him, for fear that if he spoke more, he would be borrowed money again.

If we follow the normal trajectory of the times, a lonely ghost like Duke will probably die quietly in an unknown corner at an unknown time, and then there may still be elderly people in the village who can't see it.

Went down, got him a rolled linen mat and wrapped him in it, then took him to the crematorium, and then set up a small stone tablet for him next to his parents' simple tomb.

However, the shrinking of mankind and the drastic changes in the world completely changed the fate of Duke and everyone in the Du family village.

At the beginning, under the leadership of Wang Wenming and the elders of the Dujia Village, the relatively united Dujia Village gathered everyone together as soon as possible and moved them all into the newly built processing plant, which was spacious and well stocked with supplies.

Although Duke's reputation in the village is bad, he is still a member of the Du family. Although the village elders criticized him for being a top scumbag, they still took Duke into the family.

At that time, Dujiacun was considered very powerful and could even organize an action team to rescue nearby surrounding villages and towns.

However, Duke's life in this temporary settlement was not good.

He thought that these people would ask him to work despite his reputation for being idle and not doing his job properly. When he was a little lazy, several young wives and young men jumped out to make irresponsible remarks to him.

What's even more ridiculous is that old man Wang Wenming actually wanted to put him into the combat team after seeing him refuse to work even after being beaten to death.

At that time, Duke felt that the old man was probably trying to find a reason to send him out to die.

So Duke made a big fuss in the factory area again. Anyway, he was sure that his surname was Du and that he was from the same family. No matter how dissatisfied these people were with him, they would not really do anything to him.

Not only that, but Duke had probably been a bachelor for too long and couldn't hold it in any longer. He secretly stared at a woman rescued from outside by the Dujiacun action team, and crawled into someone else's bed in the middle of the night.

When several young men from other villages heard the woman's screams, they rushed in and dragged the grandson out of the room naked buttocks, and almost beat him to death.

Later, people from Dujia Village arrived to inquire. Although they felt that Duke, a scumbag, really deserved to die, but seeing that the other party's attack was too heavy and it was about to kill someone, they had no choice but to take action. The two sides made a big fuss in the factory.

The scene was almost completely out of control.

If old man Wang Wenming hadn't rushed to calm down the situation in time, the two sides would have had such a big fight, at least seven or eight people would have died.

Later, seeing that Duke was really unable to hold up the wall, the Du family and Wang Wenming unanimously decided to lock up this turtle grandson, otherwise the safe settlement that was finally built with difficulty would sooner or later be muddied by this rat shit.

Already.

At this point, Wang Wenming gritted his teeth and sighed, "Although I was the one who said he should be placed under house arrest at the time, I really had no choice but everyone agreed. This beast is all blaming me. It's hateful...

…Too hateful…”

Two days later, the situation changed. First, a sudden heavy rain caused a power outage outside, and internally destroyed many newly built semi-open-air buildings in the factory, and even drowned several people inside.

People working in open spaces.

After everyone settled down for a while, they discovered that the wooden house where Duke was imprisoned was also missing a hole, and the guy actually escaped overnight.

At that time, some people also said that they wanted to find him and come back.

But after all, it is not safe in the wild. After the power outage, the activities of mice have become more frequent, so we can only forget it.

Who would have thought that two days later, Duke would actually ride a big rat and come back with a mighty army of 100,000 rats.

What's even more hateful is that this guy actually relied on his understanding of the factory's defense layout to bypass the defense line with his army of rats at two o'clock in the middle of the night, make a late-night raid, and march straight in.

At that time, everyone initially thought that he was captured after escaping, and then he met the overly smart Rat King, who forced him to rebel and become a traitor.

Later, people found out that this scumbag was not captured, but took the initiative to find the rat.

When he escaped, he stole a newly completed one-man iron armor that was placed in the construction area. He also carried a lot of food on his back and used it as his certificate of surrender. He didn't know how he communicated with the mouse.

He actually got in.

Rats in the wild have eaten a lot of people so far, but this is the first time someone comes to the door. At first, they wanted to eat him, but there are indeed some rat kings who are particularly smart and gradually feel his sincerity.

, first sent a particularly strong rat with particularly good teeth to gnaw through the iron armor, but did not eat him.

The large mouse actually lay down in front of Duke, and then the other two mice, one on the left and one on the right, picked up Duke, who thought he might die, in their mouths, and put them on the big mouse's back.

Since then, the two parties have reached cooperation.

At that time, Duke felt that the world was in my hands and that his ambition could finally be realized.

After becoming a traitor, Duke seemed to have really opened up his inner circle of Ren and Du. He showed his energy that he had never shown before and helped the mouse figure out a wooden helmet.

Among the rat army he brought back to Dujia Village, about 10,000 rats wore wooden spiked helmets.

This rat army's new equipment, better organization, and a good time to attack in the middle of the night, caught the people in the Dujia Village settlement by surprise, and they were unable to put up any effective resistance, so they declared defeat.

.

Unlike rats in other areas, which often treat humans as food without hesitation after defeating human settlements, this rat tribe got a benefit from Duke and naturally began to try to enslave more humans.

Duke, the top scumbag who was once hated by gods and ghosts, naturally became a real devil, the manager of this prison, and the self-proclaimed so-called warden.

Duke led the oversized rat and a huge guard of hundreds of elite rats, swaggering through the factory area, dominating.

Those who had offended Duke in the past were naturally in bad luck.

At the beginning, he was a little more restrained, and was even a little afraid of the old people in the village and Mr. Wang.

But it’s really not easy for a person with a bad nature to fall into the so-called power.

It only took Duke half a day to adapt, and he quickly evolved from a rogue to a real tyrant.

Publicly humiliating wives and daughters is just an appetizer. It is the real bloody violence and madness to single out the so-called unstable elements in the crowd and then let the rat guards eat their flesh bit by bit and gradually tear their bodies into pieces.

In particular, Mr. Wang and his family suffered the worst.

Wang Wenming was abused many times, and the swelling on his face was caused by this.

The old man's wife, son and daughter-in-law, daughter and son-in-law, grandchildren and granddaughters, as well as the village elders who made the decision together with Wang Wenming, were all spared.

The reason why Mr. Wang is still alive now is not only because of Duke's kindness, but this beast just wants to make Mr. Wang live in pain, and life would be worse than death.

His cruelty and vicious perversion are simply too numerous to mention. He does not regard other people as his own kind, not even pigs and dogs. In just a few days of rule, he forced more than 2,000 people to rebel.

The more than 3,000 human laborers who are still alive today all hate Duke so much that they wish they could skin him, remove his bones, and eat his flesh raw.

The Rat King, who secretly observed the situation, not only did not think there was any problem with this, but believed that Duke had made a merit, even a great merit, in being able to detect unstable elements in advance.

At the same time, in these days when humans and rats coexist, the Rat King has indeed been rapidly absorbing social common sense from human drudges.

This rat king understood the operation of electricity and found a more solid scientific basis for the instinct of rats to chew wires. He immediately focused on the high-voltage electricity tower not far from Tongming Town and decided to lead an army to take action.

The high-voltage electricity tower was dug down, creating better development space for the rat brothers in other areas.

However, the Rat King also considered the safety of Duke's powerful helper, and worried that after he took away a large number of elites, the human slaves here would become restless and try to resist.

Although it is true that the war capabilities of the left-behind rats can easily suppress all rebellions, in order to better perform his management work, Duke always likes to have close contact with the slaves and "fight" them into a group, so accidents cannot be ruled out.

Possibly, so the Rat King took Duke with him when he led the team.

In the past few days since Duke left, the lives of the human drudges have improved slightly, and they finally waited for the rescue of the Le Lai Expeditionary Force.

The old man Wang Wenming spoke a lot in one breath, and his energy and energy gradually failed to keep up, and he became breathless.

Zhou You asked him to sit down and have a good rest, and then asked nine other people about the situation.

Zhou You already knew almost everything about Duke, and now his attention turned to the situation of the mouse.

The deep hatred between Mr. Wang Wenming and Duke was so deep that it inevitably caused Mr. Wang to focus most of his attention on Duke. If he wanted to know more about rats, he should have asked more people.

Soon, these nine people were telling each other what they had seen and heard based on Zhou You's questions.

Zhou You extracted the key information he wanted from the descriptions of these nine people.

What is certain is that Duke's initiative to seek refuge did open up new ideas for Mouse.

The prisoners in Dujiacun were left behind, and the prisoners from other areas were also transferred here one after another, which is the most powerful evidence.

Zhou You even suspected that what happened in Dujia Village had been actively exported to the outside world by the Rat King here.

His judgment was based on the fact that the Rat King would rather temporarily abandon the processing factory here than take the risk of leading a team to dig down high-voltage electricity towers.

This shows that there is a key feature in the rat's social system that humans in the past have almost lost, and that is absolute unity.

First of all, the power supply in Tongming Town and Dujia Village has been cut off. If it is just for his own sake, there is no need for the Rat King here to take risks.

When the Rat King took that risky step, it already proved a huge difference between rat civilization and human civilization at the current stage.

In the society of rats, not only does the upper class have absolute control over the lower class, but rats of the same class also have a natural and absolute unity with each other.

With the above-mentioned foundation of unity, the exchange of information can be said to be inevitable.

It can be concluded that, in a sense, it can be said that Duke drove the evolution of mice.

Of course, it's also possible that Duke is not the only traitor in the world right now.

Maybe in the West, where ideological trends are more complex and social trends are more thoroughly sliced ​​vertically, more people will take action earlier and take the initiative to seek refuge in rats to embrace the so-called concepts of Satan, the Holy Lord, and advanced civilization.

Especially for some foreign animal rights and environmental protection organizations, maybe when they see the army of rats, instead of feeling scared, they may have the magical understanding that they have finally found a home and an organization.

In addition, different rat kings seem to have different personalities and different levels of wisdom awakening. Maybe there will be children of destiny similar to humans, or genius rat kings who will try to control and enslave humans without any guidance.

Extract more important knowledge from human captives faster.

Therefore, Zhou You believes that based on many of the above premises, rats around the world will probably be able to communicate and share information sooner or later.

Under this ebb and flow, as the growth of rats gradually accelerates, the situation of humans will continue to worsen.

You can't rule out the possibility that one day you will suddenly encounter an army of rats armed with crossbows or even thermal weapons.
To be continued...
