Dawn of the Grey Tower
Chapter 38
They were escorted to the basement of a nearby house. A giant rat man removed the closet against the wall, and a hole extending underground to accommodate two people to enter side by side appeared in front of everyone. The mage had thought about why these giant rat people could appear as quickly as those small ones. It seems that besides ordinary burrows, native rat people have specially made special passages for these big men.
In contrast, what scares cheese even more is not that they know how to help special individuals in the population. What really surprised the mage was that these protozoans could cover up the special channels opened for giant rat people! You know, this is not a simple animal instinct. Although ants in the ant colony will set up channels for different purposes in their ant nests due to different division of labor, they will not hide anything in order to protect these things. But at present, these native rat humans, once considered by the mage as having lost the ability of thinking, have hidden a trump card in front of human beings! This is the strategy, the ability of intelligent creatures!
The mage followed the rat people into the underground passage. At this time, he felt that his previous understanding of the rat man was like a child showing off his half knowledge. This was more striking than the defeat in force. This also made the mage confused about the purpose of these rat people to capture them. Although at first he thought the protozoans were trying to turn them into the same species, so far, the mutant murans escorting them have no intention of harming them. These guys can''t just take them back as pets.
This passage to the underground is much easier than people think. Given that these giant rat humans are far beyond the average human height, the specially established passageway for them is already quite spacious for ordinary humans.
"Where are they going to take us? Can''t you go on like this? " Elsa asked the cheese in a low voice.
"Even if you ask me, I can''t answer your question, but I think it should be soon. If I''m right, we''ve gone down nearly four or five meters. If these rat people can make holes again, they''ve only appeared. In less than two months, we can''t dig out an underground city, right? " The mage replied, but his volume was not lowered like the landlady, because he knew that in such a small space, it was meaningless whether or not to lower the volume with the hearing of rat people. On the contrary, cheese wanted to let these rat people hear him. Now that he knew his ignorance, the mage hoped to make up for his understanding of the rat man as much as possible with this little trial.
Sure enough, when hearing the cheese, the giant rat people all looked at the mage, and the gray mouse man showed a disdainful smile. Although the smile was very distorted on his face, the trained mage could barely understand the subtle facial expression. This also verified another guess of the mage, that these protozoans, or at least these mutant murans, might still understand human language.
In this way, many of the problems that had plagued the mage would be solved. Before that, he only regarded these primitive rat people as mindless monsters. Therefore, many of his conversations with Heather and others, including cheese, did not deliberately avoid the two captured rat men. These two rat people must have heard something very important to leave cheese and other people''s lives. They ask for the master''s help! So what do they need to do for themselves?
Thinking about this problem, cheese just felt that his eyes were suddenly empty, and the original curved passage wall had disappeared. Instead, it was a giant rat hole in the weak fire light! Because of the weak light source in the cave, cheese can only see a rough picture. Now they are located in a platform. Around this platform, there are some holes leading to other directions. The holes are large and small. It seems that most of the holes found before are leading to this place. As for the front of the platform, there is a huge sinkhole. How big is this hole? Cheese guessed that its scale should be at least half the size of Beicheng district. It seems that this size is not a big deal for the whole Xigu City, but considering the construction time of this giant rat hole, the digging speed of these rat men is terrible.
At the same time, another puzzling question has also been answered. Before, people have wondered where the soil excavated from the burrow was sent. But now they feel the obviously compacted soil under their feet and the several huge pillars supporting the whole cave in the distance. Needless to say, the excavated sand and soil just become the huge protozoans Building materials.
"It''s just incredible." Of course, cheese is not the only one to see this scene, and whether it is the two frost guards or the boss''s wife, they can''t help feeling after seeing the underground miracle under their feet.
However, those rat people did not bring the mage to visit. The leading gray mouse man nodded a little, and the giant rat man pulling the cheese rope pulled the mage and others on. They walked from the slope beside the platform to the deep pit. It seemed that they were going to enter the center of the underground rat nest, which was what the mage had seen before A place of fire.
As they gradually stepped into the subsidence area, even cheese had to admire the architectural ability of these native rat people. Although the excavation method of this cave is barbaric, it is very accurate to use the materials and grasp the structure. On both sides of the procession, the mage could still see rat men digging from time to time. It seems that the scale of the underground rat hole is still expanding. However, cheese also observed that the ordinary rat man who was engaged in digging showed a very obvious impulse to eat blood after seeing human beings. The craziness in their eyes made the mage feel more intimate. This is what he knew as the original rat man. However, he also observed that even though they were very reluctant to be warned by the threatening calls of the gray haired and giant rat humans, these ordinary rat humans avoided the road of a group of people automatically."I think it''s like these mutated rat people are not in the same group as these ordinary rat people." The voice of "monkey" came from the darkness behind.
The mage nodded, and this time he agreed with Jack. Although these mutant murans can control these ordinary protozoans to a certain extent, it can also be seen that these ordinary murans do not have the ability to think, they just obey the orders of the former instinctively. Thinking of this, cheese suddenly realized why these rat people wanted to kidnap themselves. And he realized that perhaps many answers to the plague could be provided by the rat man far more than his own search.
