Repeatedly checking the situation of Rat Witch Sally, her appearance is indeed changing, which can also be seen in the fantasy of the rat people.
They kept trying to imagine Sally's situation, thinking that she lived in a wonderful place, had endless funds, enjoyed a happy life, lived in a sunny place, and had no worries about food and clothing.
The real situation is naturally not that good.
Even so, the number of the rat people's audience was still large, and their wishes were indeed sincere. All of this condensed into the glorious scene in front of them. Sally was wrapped in orange gel, with hazy light spots all over her body, and her ears
She grows or shrinks from time to time. It seems that the rat people are still not sure whether Sally is more like a human or a mouse, but her appearance has become cleaner and clearer visibly to the naked eye, and the original dirtiness and shrinkage have disappeared.
live.
"It is this kind of imagination that can influence the birth of a new god," Falosa said, "and it can also influence the previous mystics."
"The mysterious person is very afraid of being seen. He is probably worried about those strange negative imaginations." Xu Yang nodded.
"Of course, so they will use many means to disguise themselves. Even their names are not real." Farosha observed Sally, "It's hard to describe what is true and what is false. However, I am also really curious about what kind of power Sally will gain.
, only after she breaks out of the cocoon will we know. Is it to summon food? To drive away diseases? The rat man may not have a very rich imagination."
"Maybe it's a wish fulfillment machine." Xu Yang said.
He was very curious about the situation of the rat people, how passionate they were, and how they could turn their wishes into powerful dew drops.
On the other side, in the Kaleb Mountains of Baixiang Island, the miners working in the mines were restless. Because Sally was disconnected, they became more impatient and irritable.
Looking forward to Sally's return.
Various conjectures spread like wildfire. Ratmen conveyed news through pheromones, and soon various rumors spread among individuals. They believed that there was an extremely evil force behind Sally who secretly persecuted her, causing Sally to
Li cannot start the live broadcast at the same time and place as the previous two months.
The weather was horribly cold, and the lack of sunlight made the food supply extremely tight. The atmosphere in the mine became increasingly bad, and the relationship between the miners and the local supervisor became extremely bad. Therefore, the Precision Mining Company in charge of the mine became vigilant.
A team of security personnel was stationed to prevent the miners from causing trouble.
Xie Yin is a gray rat who is a loyal listener of the Rat Witch. He calls himself the guardian and specializes in guarding the original radio station used to communicate with the Rat Witch.
It has confidence in the Rat Witch and believes that the Rat Witch will come back and start broadcasting again soon. The Rat Witch will not give up on them.
Even humble and insignificant rat people will receive the care of the Rat Witch. Her companionship has become a necessity in life for the rat people. They are unwilling to leave the live broadcast of the Rat Witch no matter what. Every time the broadcast starts, the rat people will gather around it.
After listening to it, go to bed with full hope, and then start the next day's work.
Work in the mines is hard.
Xie Yin walked calmly through the mine tunnels. Compared with his violent peers, Xie Yin appeared to be more restrained and calm. In order to send messages to the Rat Witch by himself, Xie Yin looked for every opportunity to learn how to read.
Most of the area is a mine tunnel with damp, cold and complex environment. In many places, only a thin gray rat like Xie Yin can get into it. Its bones are worn out by labor. When working, it frequently scratches the down on its chest because it is panting.
I can't breathe, my lungs hurt, and I often feel my heart beating very fast, which makes my whole body uncomfortable.
The mine superintendent was an irritable and extremely oppressive man. From time to time he would pick out one of the working ratmen and kick and beat him on any pretext.
In order to avoid being beaten, Xie Yin held his breath while working to ensure that he kept a low profile. He mined gold from the bottomless depths of the mine, pushed the mechanical drill forward in the hole, maintained a posture for a long time, and tried his best to
My feet hurt and my neck hurt.
No matter how hard he tried, the work was never finished. Xie Yin felt that his eyes were covered with sweat, and his body was alternately cold and hot. He could not see anything and could not think about anything. He only knew that he had to dig in with the drill in front of him.
Go deeper into the mine to make it easier for the Skaven people and equipment behind to dig deeper.
Because of his respect for the Rat Witch, Xie Yin hopes that he can save a small amount of money and find a way to donate it to the Rat Witch in the future. If her life is not good, thousands of rat people are willing to donate their savings.
, let her live without worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
On the afternoon of the second day after the sun disappeared, the supervisor gathered the rat and human workers together and started reading with a list.
Xie Yin rubbed his paws to keep warm. He couldn't squeeze next to the brazier. The cold wind was blowing. He stretched his ears and listened for a long time. He didn't hear his own name, but more than half of the rat people and people he knew were named.
.
"...Those mentioned above," the supervisor said, "pack your things, leave before 6 o'clock tonight, and go to the Finance Department to receive a 50 severance package."
"What!"
"It will be freezing outside!"
"Squeak!"
"Wow..." The rat men and human miners who were clicked were nervous.
Angry, Xie Yin received angry pheromones from his kind. These breaths made Xie Yin feel uneasy. He kept wagging his tail and became irritable. Leaving before 6 o'clock means not even having the last supper.
Yes, the weather outside is very bad, and I can't even tell the road.
Why is Rat Witch not on the air? Why? Has it given up on everyone? Has even the sacred Rat Witch given up on the Rat People? Are the Rat People unable to regain the favor of the Rat Witch no matter what they do?
In Xie Yin's mind, the rat witch must be philanthropic, noble, and possess unlimited power. She should look like her mother, a brave and strong gray rat who will always protect her children. Because it is through the radio, they only listen to
Its sound is incomprehensible to its shape.
The supervisor remained calm in the face of an obviously upset crowd.
"Don't move!" he yelled angrily, then called in security personnel.
Seven men in metal armor silently approached the venue with their energy rifles, aiming their guns at the deviants.
The cold muzzles of these guns put tremendous pressure on the miners. They lowered their heads in silence. The weather was too cold, and sweat clung to their bodies, soaking their ragged clothes and making them even colder.
"The boss is adjusting the structure." The supervisor said, "If we can't pay out money, we can't do anything about it. Please be considerate. Anyway, these days, as long as you work hard, you can make money."
"Die!"
"screw you!"
"Squeak!" The human and rat miners were in extremely bad moods and were not comforted at all.
Fire. Xie Yin could feel the invisible fire bursting into flames.
Before they took action, the security personnel had already opened fire. With a burst of gunfire, many miners were shot and killed. The gunfire caused the rat people to scream and release various emotions.
The first thing that spread was fear. Seeing their companions screaming and falling, and facing the green gunfire of the security personnel, the rat people felt scared.
Immediately afterwards, this fear turned out of control, and the rat people were completely enraged. The rats were overwhelming, and they angrily rushed towards the supervisor and the security personnel. The larger black-haired rats rushed in front, and then the gray-haired rats
.
Xie Yin stood there. In the chaos, it immediately thought of the radio station and rushed towards the tunnel barracks.
"Go to hell!" A security guard stood in front of Xie Yin.
When Xie Yin saw the gun in his hand, his heart skipped a beat. He quickly rolled over and fell to the ground. However, one of his arms was blown away by the energy ray. His entire right arm was instantly blown into a bloody mass, and he was in pain.
There was only a moment in Xie Yin's mind. It fell to the ground, in shock due to blood loss. It finally saw the endless rat people and miners, struggling to break the shackles.
Xie Yin fainted.
When Xie Yin woke up, the situation in the mine was even more chaotic.
The miners won. About 400 human miners and 700 rat miners have occupied the mine, but the troops sent by Precision Mining Company have surrounded the mine. Now half of the miners want to surrender, and the other half are in despair.
Resistance.
In the evening, the weather became even more severe and cold, the countryside was remote and the facilities were poor. The miners blew open the warehouse door and stored boxes of nutritional paste, canned food and fresh vegetables, enough for them to eat for a year, as well as a lot of gasoline and fuel.
They were all hidden by the supervisor. They took out the supplies and shared them, one for each person. Xie Yin’s friends brought it treatment needles and nutritional ointments, hoping that it could survive.
Xie Yin lost an arm and was a little confused. He walked to the barracks in the tunnel, found the small radio station that no longer had the echo of the Rat Witch, and lay down on it.
In the second half of the night, nearby guerrillas had received the news and approached. After thorough investigation, they launched an attack on the company's security.
The sound of gunfire woke up the thousands of miners. The guerrillas, who had experienced hundreds of battles, quickly eliminated the security team of the Precision Mining Company outside, and then came in to join these miners. The guerrillas were also shivering with cold and lacked clothes.
With little food, the only thing that was not lacking was a determined fighting spirit. The miners shared the food and fuel in the warehouse with them.
In the open space outside the mine tunnel, members of the guerrillas lit a large fire. A man wearing a red epaulette sat beside the fire and told the miners the story of vanguardism.
Xie Yin could vaguely see the light and flames in the distance. It was lying on the silent radio station with its tail hanging down.
"Aren't you going to listen?" A white-haired rat scratched its head. "It is said that they will lead everyone to defeat the company, seize food and fuel from the company, and survive the cold wave. And Bai Xiangzhou, Bai Xiangzhou will be completely free! There will be nothing more.
Enterprise, we are going to turn around!"
"After a while." Xie Yin said.
It closed its eyes, curled up into a ball to keep warm, and dreamed that the Rat Witch was living a happy life.
