Outside the underground Greater Rat Kingdom, there was a main underground tunnel with railway tracks.
The rumbling train, loaded with all kinds of supplies, passed by the tracks from time to time.
Both sides of the railway were brightly lit, and from time to time, fully armed soldiers patrolled by.
Unlike the surface, the sky, and the sea, underground battles mostly took place in narrow and dark areas. Fighting here was dangerous and terrifying.
In every place that you couldn't see, there could be a guy hiding who could take your life.
Bai Shifu and the great green insect were patrolling the brightly lit main road.
This main road was naturally the main artery of the kingdom.
Other places could be given up, but this was the only place that could not be given up.
This main road was connected to several underground farms. Those farms were chosen to be close to the underground aquifer, and with the help of cheap electricity from the magma geothermal power station, they could do soilless cultivation, which could produce large amounts of vegetables, grains, and fruits.
With sufficient electricity, those farms could provide strong light. Coupled with the growth acceleration formation, the crop production was extremely high. Not only could it satisfy the needs of the entire kingdom, it could even be exported to the surface world for foreign exchange …
Those underground farms could be said to be the blood source of the entire underground Greater Rat Kingdom.
Thinking about this, Bai Shifu could not help but wonder, why did Bai Shixin not let him send more troops to guard the magma geothermal power station?
Instead, he let it fall into Nie Yuan's hands?
The other party would soon think of a way to cut off the power supply and cut off the underground farms' production. If that happened, the people of the kingdom would definitely be in chaos …
In fact, there had been many reports of insufficient power supply, and the news of a large-scale reduction in production had been suppressed.
Everyone knew that without an endless source of food from the farms, a city could not last long. A city that gathered millions of Greater Rats would consume an astronomical figure every day.
How did Cao Cao defeat Yuan Shao? Was it not because he burned the other party's reserve food?
Actually, they could still hold on for a while, but the people's hearts were in chaos, and the scales of victory were tilted.
Bai Shifu thought for a while, but he could not think of an answer. He did not want to ask the other party now, that would make him look stupid.
As he was thinking, the great green insect that was flying around became impatient.
"Hey, didn't you say that they would definitely attack here? Why haven't they come after so long, I'm hungry … "The great green insect said righteously.
Since the Great Azure Dragon said that this was a legitimate matter, then it had a reason to eat.
Moreover, meals should be provided on a business trip, right? The people here all said that the Emperor did not need hungry soldiers.
"Before we set off, Big Brother gave me a space ring and said that your rations are inside …" Bai Shifu said with a strange expression and then handed over an ancient bronze ring.
The great green insect was overjoyed. "Your big brother is such a considerate person. He knows to prepare dry rations in advance. I can continue my patrol now."
Bai Shifu calmed down the agitated great green insect and let out a sigh of relief. He then looked at the dark paths around him. It was very likely that Nie Yuan's men were hiding there …
…
The Magma Geothermal Power Station was in a state of desolation. Only a few workers were still maintaining the operation of the power generating equipment.
"Hmph, they actually invited the great clans of the Upper Realm to suppress me? Since that's the case, I want to see how long you can last! "
Nie Yuan looked at the report in his hand and said disdainfully, "Immediately attack all the geothermal power stations, cut the cables, and cut off the power supply. I want them to know what true despair is!"
At this moment, one of his subordinates said hesitantly, "Leader Nie, if we do this, the underground farms will be paralyzed. They won't be able to produce food in time, and many of our clansmen will starve to death. They're used to working in exchange for food like humans, not stealing food from humans to survive. "
"Hmph, are you questioning my decision?" A cold glint flashed in Nie Yuan's eyes. A giant rat figure as big as a mountain appeared behind him.
It was the ancestor of all Greater Rats, the Ancestor of Banshan.
The so-called Greater Rat Royalty's bloodline was its direct descendant.
The subordinate was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. The suppression from a superior creature had caused his thoughts to completely stagnate. Just like a house dog that saw a tiger pass by, fear gripped his heart, leaving 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 did not consider the interests of the Greater Rat Clan at all. All of his decisions were based on his own interests.
A person like this, no matter how strong he was, was not qualified to compete for the Greater Rat King!
Everyone was angry but did not dare to say anything. One by one, they spread out to carry out the orders.
For the sake of internal strife, he destroyed the infrastructure that everyone had worked so hard to build. Such a person was definitely not someone they could rely on.
Although they were suppressed by the secret bloodline skill, the Greater Rat Demons that were sent out to carry out the mission had changed from being passive and obedient to actively resisting the suppression.
Unfortunately, they were still not strong enough to resist the opponent. They could only endure the pain and carry out the opponent's orders.
This was the detestable part of the Era of Vitality. There was a power that could twist one's will, making one unable to make a decision based on one's heart.
…
Just an hour after Nie Yuan's order was issued, Bai Shifu, who was personally patrolling the main road, noticed a problem.
The lights on the road were extinguished one by one. The emergency lights that were powered by batteries were gradually being lit up, illuminating the road again.
However, he knew that this would not last long.
"Damn brat, is he finally going to fight an infinite battle?" He immediately understood what was happening and said hatefully.
This was the frustration of being on the stage. Although they were powerful, they were a bigger target. The opponent was hidden in the dark and could attack them at any time.
They wanted to find the opponent's location, but it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, just like how farmers chased after nomads.
The underground environment was complicated, it was more difficult to search than the grasslands and deserts.
The solid rock layer could shield against electric waves, but it could also pose a great obstacle to spiritual sense search.
He hurriedly used the emergency line to call Bai Shixin and asked what the next step should be.
"Our power should have been cut off by that brat. He's really ruthless. I think in a few hours, the train will stop running, the farms will stop too. Without lighting and electricity, everything will come to a standstill, and we'll return to a primitive society …"
"Retreat first. Don't panic, everything is within my expectations." Bai Shixin said calmly.
"Then I'm relieved. How are you going to deal with it, Big Brother?"
"It's not convenient to say it on the phone. Bring Miss Daqing back first." Bai Shixin emphasized again.
A few minutes later, Bai Shifu brought Chong Daqing and a group of elite subordinates back to the Greater Rat Kingdom. They holed up in the city and did not take a step out.
…
On the other side, Vigilante A had also arrived at the Greater Rat Kingdom under the guidance of the little gray ant.
However, when he arrived, Vigilante A stood not far away from the city gate and did not move forward.
The little ant was lying on Vigilante A's head. When it saw that Vigilante A did not move, it immediately spun around anxiously, grabbed a strand of his hair and started swinging …
This made Fang Ning feel a little strange. He asked, "The target is right in front, why aren't you continuing?"
"Mr. Rich Boss, this won't do. Think about it, since that rare book is in this city, it should have an owner. This little ant doesn't know anything about chivalry. It only knows that if it finds something good, it should drag it back … If it can't drag it back, it should call for help. As a chivalrous system, I can't do that. "Sir System said gloomily.
"Hey, you still have principles after all. I used to worry if you'd go astray … This problem is simple. The Greater Rat Kingdom is constantly changing, and it's very dangerous. When the time comes, we only need to save the owner of the book and use the book as a reward. It's reasonable, and definitely not against chivalry. "Fang Ning immediately suggested.
"Does this count as taking advantage of others?" Sir System was a little conflicted.
