Outside the underground Giant Rat King City, there are railway tracks on an underground main passage.
Rumbling trains, loaded with various supplies, passed quickly on the railway tracks from time to time.
On both sides of the railway, the lights were brightly lit, and from time to time, heavily armed soldiers patrolled by.
Unlike the ground, sky, and sea, underground battles most often take place in narrow and dark areas. Fighting here is dangerous and terrifying.
Everywhere you can't see, there may be a guy who can kill you.
Bai Shifu and the big caterpillar were patrolling this brightly lit main road.
And this main road is naturally the main artery of the royal city.
You can give up anywhere else, but you can't give up here.
This main road is connected to several underground farms. Those farms are located near the underground water layer and use the cheap power supply from the magma geothermal power station to engage in soilless cultivation. They can produce a large amount of vegetables, grains, and fruits throughout the seasons.
Those farms, with sufficient power supply, can provide strong light, and with the growth acceleration formation, the crop yield is extremely high, which can not only meet the needs of the entire royal city, but can even be exported to the surface world in exchange for foreign exchange...
Those underground farms can be said to be the blood source of the entire underground giant rat king city.
Thinking of this, Bai Shifu couldn't help but wonder, why Bai Shixin didn't assign heavy troops to guard the magma geothermal power station
But let it fall into Nie Yuan's hands
The other party should soon be able to think of a way to cut off the power supply and cut off the production of the underground farm. In this case, the people of the royal city will definitely be in chaos...
In fact, there have been reports of insufficient power supply and large-scale production cuts, but they have been suppressed.
Everyone knows that without the continuous source of food from the farm, a city cannot last long. In a city with millions of giant rats, the daily consumption is astronomical.
How did Cao Cao defeat Yuan Shao? Didn't he just burn the opponent's reserve army
In fact, we can still persist for a while, but people's hearts are already in chaos, and the balance of victory is tilted away.
Bai Shifu thought for a while but couldn't come up with an answer. He didn't want to ask the other party now, as that would make him look too weak.
While I was thinking, the big caterpillar flying around became impatient.
"Hey, didn't you say they are definitely going to attack here? Why haven't they come for so long? I'm hungry..." the big green insect said confidently.
Since Daqinglong said this was a legitimate matter, it had reason to eat the other party's.
Besides, you have to take care of the food when you’re on a business trip, right? Everyone here has said that the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers.
"Before departure, my eldest brother gave me a space ring and said that what is inside is your military rations..." Bai Shifu said with a strange face, and then handed over a bronze ring.
The big caterpillar was overjoyed when he saw this: "Your big brother is really a considerate person. He knows to prepare dry food in advance, so I can continue patrolling."
Bai Shifu calmed the restless big caterpillar, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the dark branch roads everywhere, where Nie Yuan's people were probably hiding...
… …
The magma geothermal power station is in a state of depression, with only a few staff still maintaining the operation of the power generation equipment.
"Hmph, you actually invited the upper realm clan to suppress me? In this case, I want to see how long you can hold on!"
Nie Yuan looked at the information in his hand, said disdainfully, and then issued an order: "Attack all geothermal power stations immediately, cut off the cables, and cut off the power supply. I want them to know what true despair is!"
At this time, one of his subordinates hesitated and said: "Leader Nie, the first thing that will bear the brunt of this is that the underground farms will be paralyzed and unable to produce food in time, which will starve many of our fellow humans to death. They are used to working in exchange for food like humans. Instead of stealing food from humans to survive.”
"Hmph, are you questioning my decision?" Nie Yuan's eyes flashed with cold light, and a huge rat figure appeared behind him, like a mountain.
That is the ancestor of all giant rats, the ancestor who moved mountains.
The so-called giant rat royal bloodline is its direct inheritance.
The subordinate was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. The suppression from the superior creature brought his thinking to a complete standstill. Just like a domestic dog seeing a tiger passing by, fear seized his heart and left him no room to think freely.
The other subordinates did not dare to object anymore, but the balance in their hearts had completely tilted.
This Nie Yuan has not considered the interests of the giant rat clan at all. The starting point of all his decisions is his own interests.
Such a person, no matter how powerful he is, is not qualified to compete for the King of Giant Rats!
Everyone dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and dispersed one by one to carry out the order.
For the sake of civil strife, we must destroy the infrastructure that everyone has worked so hard to build. Such people are definitely not people we can rely on.
Although they are suppressed by bloodline secret skills, these giant rat demons who are sent to perform tasks have changed from passive obedience before to actively resisting this suppression.
Unfortunately, their strength is still not strong enough to resist each other, so they can only endure the pain and carry out the other party's orders.
This is the hateful thing about the Yuanqi Age. Some of them have the power to reverse personal will, making it impossible for you to make a choice from your heart.
… …
Only an hour after Nie Yuan's order was issued, Bai Shifu, who was personally leading a patrol on the important road, discovered a problem.
The lights on the road went out everywhere, and the emergency lights powered by batteries were coming on one after another to illuminate the road again.
But he knew this wouldn't last long.
"Damn boy, do you finally want to fight an infinite war?" He immediately understood what happened and said bitterly.
This is the frustration of being on stage. Although the power is great, the target is even greater. The opponent is hiding in the dark and has a target to attack at any time.
But when they wanted to find out where the other party was, it was like a farming nation chasing a nomad, like finding a needle in a haystack.
The underground environment is complex and more difficult to search than a grassland desert.
The solid rock layer can shield radio waves, and can also pose a great obstacle to spiritual search.
He quickly used the emergency line to call Bai Shixin and asked what to do next.
"Our power supply must have been cut off by that guy. He was really cruel. I think within a few hours, the trains will stop running and the farms will stop working. There will be no lighting and no electricity. Everything will be in trouble for us." Stagnation, return to primitive society..."
"You withdraw first, don't panic, everything is within my expectation." Bai Shixin said calmly.
"Then I'm relieved. I wonder how big brother will deal with it?"
"It's not convenient to talk on the phone. You should come back with Daqing girl first." Bai Shixin emphasized again.
A few minutes later, Bai Shifu took Chong Daqing and a group of elite men back to the Giant Rat King City and huddled in the city, unable to leave even an inch.
… …
On the other side, Knight A has also arrived at the Giant Rat King City under the guidance of the little gray ant.
But after arriving, Knight A stood not far from the city gate and stopped moving forward.
And the little ant was lying on the head of Knight A. When he saw that Knight A was not moving, he immediately spun around anxiously, grabbed a piece of his hair and started to swing...
This made Fang Ning a little strange. He asked, "The target is ahead, why don't you keep walking?"
"Rich man, this won't work. You think, since that strange book is in this city, it should belong to its owner. This little ant doesn't know anything about chivalry. He only knows that when he finds a good thing, he must drag it back... If you can't get it back, call someone. As a hero in the system, I can't do that." The uncle said depressedly.
"Hey, you still have principles after all. I was worried that you would go crazy... This question is simple. The situation in the Giant Rat King City is changing and it is very dangerous. At that time, we only need to save the owner of the book, and use that book As a reward, it is reasonable and will definitely not violate chivalry." Fang Ning immediately gave an idea.
"Does this count as taking advantage of others' danger?" The uncle asked a little tangledly.
Fang Ning was speechless and said, "How can this be called taking advantage of others? We just do what we should do and get the rewards we deserve. You know, free things are the most expensive."
