After driving away the dogs, Yu Yueming's hair gradually calmed down. He turned around to check the situation on his teammates and happened to see David running out of the house in panic.

"What's wrong? I heard the barking of fierce dogs. Is there something happening?"

Liu Mengze briefly stated what he had just said: "A large group of dogs passed by just now and almost fought with our dogs. But they have run away now."

"Ah, I'm so embarrassed. I forgot to remind you..."

David scratched his hair with some annoyance.

"We are close to the wild, and sometimes wild animals come into the village, so almost every family has dogs. Usually, these dogs go around outside by themselves during the day, but now it may be because of rats, so they dare not run too far. I didn't expect you to bump into them. Are you all okay?"

Li Si noticed the key in his words and asked actively: "Why are these dogs afraid to run too far when they are in trouble? Even if they are scared by rats, aren't there more rats in the village?"

David scratched his head a little embarrassedly again.

"My father hadn't had time to explain in detail to you just now. However, the number of rats in the village is actually good. There are more rats on the farm, including the surrounding fields, and the further away from the crowd, the more rampant these rats are.

"Before, a dog from a villager ran outside the village. When he found it, the dog had only a skeleton left.

"Other dogs may also know what their companions have happened, so they dare not be too far away from the village."

After hearing this description, Li Si's face turned a little pale, but he insisted on asking: "Since it was like that when he discovered it, how do you know it was made by a mouse?"

"Because there was a camera in the place where the accident happened, we watched the video... I'm sorry, but can I not mention this? I'm still a little nauseous when I think of that scene now."

Everyone looked at Davida's obviously not very good face. Although they wanted to get more details, they also understood that this was not a good time, so they thoughtfully ended the topic.

Players continued to install rat-killing equipment from door to door, while seizing every opportunity to talk and trying hard to obtain information from David.

While placing equipment, Liu Mengze asked casually: "How many people are there in your village? Have you always made a living by agriculture?"

"There are less than two hundred people, and it is a small village. For agriculture, it has been cultivated for hundreds of years. Most people have lived here for generations, basically with blood relationships and are very familiar with each other."

David replied while helping her hand over the tools.

"If you have been engaged in agriculture all the time, have you ever encountered such a rat disease before?"

"If you want to talk about rat disease, there must be some, but it will definitely not be so serious. When the rat disease first started, I thought I would solve it myself. But I didn't expect that this time the rat disease was so strange that the rat was like a sperm and didn't touch any traps. The animals that could catch rats were also avoided. There was no way, so I had to invite you professionals to come."

Qiu Tongchen, who had been working silently, suddenly spoke.

"When did the rat disease begin?"

"Ah? This?" David seemed to be recalling hard, "I can't tell you if you want to tell the specific date. After all, mice are still very common in such places. But they suddenly become more numerous... it should be the beginning of the month."

Yu Yueming caught a glimpse of the date on his teammate's phone in the car. It was almost the end of the month. In other words, the people here were troubled by rats for almost a month before finally being able to help but invite someone to deal with it. It was quite tolerant.

But it is understandable, probably because I think I can handle it and don’t want to spend money in vain. But in nearly a month, those mice may have bred many little mice. If I drag it out again...

Yu Yueming's ears drooped, feeling that he didn't want to see the raging army of rats. It was terrible just thinking about it.

Speaking of which, here is a copy. Will those mice really grow at normal speeds?

Li Si asked: "Is there anything unusual happening before the rat disease occurs?"

Since it is a copy, there must be something beyond the scope of common sense hidden behind this rat disease.

Hearing this question, David's movements suddenly paused.

“…anomalous thing?”

Noting the other party's doubts, Li Si felt that he might have been asking a little urgently, which made the topic seem unnatural, and quickly remedyed: "I mean... the occurrence of rats is usually caused by causes. For example, disasters occur in some places, causing rats to leave their original gathering places; or before an earthquake, rats will flee around. Is this happening?"

David recalled it seriously for a while and shook his head.

"Nothing is there. The weather has been normal this year and there are no disasters around. If there were no such group of mice, it would have been a good year for a good harvest."

On the side, Yu Yueming keenly noticed that the other party seemed a little nervous when he replied.

The tension is very slight. If it weren't for the keen senses of this body, he might not have noticed the subtle changes of the other party.

What is this person hiding... Yu Yueming stared at David quietly.

But the other party was obviously alert and could not ask him directly. The possibility of finding a result was very small. He whispered to remind his teammates. Liu Mengze understood and asked a few questions tentatively, but David broke the topic and did not get any useful clues.

While working, they chatted. Liu Mengze and Li Si asked a lot about the village, but they didn't hear much valid information. At most, they knew about trivial things such as the fact that a certain family member was bitten by a mouse on the nose, a mouse in the box, and a mouse in the clothes of a mouse on the hole.

After putting equipment and rat poison at the appropriate location in the village, the group went to the village restaurant under David's entertainment to enjoy a sumptuous and rural lunch, while discussing the afternoon arrangements.

David asked, "You are going to the farm in the afternoon, right? Do you have any plans to go to which farm first?"

Players are also discussing this point. Judging from the information that can be seen at present, there is nothing special about these three farms worthy of attention from players. It seems that wherever you go first is the same.

In the end, Yu Yueming made up his mind. He whispered to discuss with his teammates while David was going to check out.

"How about going to Hunter's Farm? It's mainly based on animal breeding. Maybe we can get some useful information from the reactions of animals."
