Chapter 219: Mountain Collapse
The destructive power of the steel-toothed rabbit is no less than that of the skuas. They are like bottomless pits, and no amount of food can fill their stomachs.
As soon as the skuas were repelled, the steel-toothed rabbits rushed into the sewers in groups. Their claws were not sharp, but their teeth were extremely hard. When they came across a place that they could not dig, they would find a good angle to chew it.
Generally, the steel-toothed rabbit will not attack humans unless they are injured or lying on the ground with their necks exposed. Only then will the steel-toothed rabbit leap up and capture humans who are dozens of times larger than itself.
Of course, if it is extremely hungry, the steel-toothed rabbit will bite humans without any mercy.
When they heard that the steel-toothed rabbits had broken through the sewer pipes and entered the sewers, the people above immediately organized people to capture the steel-toothed rabbits.
The survivors living in the sewers also joined the team to catch the steel-toothed rabbits. Some people who had no clothes to go out saw the steel-toothed rabbits coming to their doorsteps, and they excitedly ran back and forth in the sewers, catching one when they saw one, hoping to take advantage of this time to stock up on more supplies.
On the other side, Xia Xiaoman was also deeply affected by the steel-toothed rabbit. The steel-toothed rabbit smelled the fragrance coming from the villa and kept digging holes and running in like crazy.
Every day she took Maodan to the yard to catch steel-toothed rabbits, and she could catch at least 20 a day.
While catching the steel-toothed rabbit, Xia Xiaoman accidentally discovered Maodan secretly eating raw steel-toothed rabbit meat.
She had raised Maodan for such a long time, but she had never fed him raw meat, fearing that it would arouse his wildness and make it more difficult to tame him in the future.
Maodan's actions of stealing the steel-toothed rabbit were very experienced, and it was obviously not the first time he had done such a thing. Thinking that Maodan had not shown any vicious signs recently, Xia Xiaoman pretended not to see it.
A wolf should behave like a wolf. Even if Maodan doesn't steal raw meat, sooner or later she will take the initiative to get some raw meat for Maodan to eat, otherwise Maodan may gradually degenerate into a dog without wildness.
After catching steel-toothed rabbits for five or six days, Maodan might have been tired of eating them and was too lazy to catch rabbits, so he just urinated along the wall.
Fortunately, the temperature was not so low these two days, otherwise its urine would freeze if it urinated outside in the winter.
Maodan's urine does have some effect, after all, the food chain is not just a casual talk. After peeing in a circle, basically no rabbits will come in.
But Xia Xiaoman did not stay at home, but continued to take Maodan to catch rabbits outside the yard.
Maodan's urine can only have a short-term effect. If they stay at home and don't come out to drive away and catch the steel-toothed rabbits, when the steel-toothed rabbits outside multiply more and more, it will be too late for them to drive them away.
While the steel-toothed rabbits are still controllable outside, take Maodan out to drive them away and catch them. This can not only train Maodan's hunting skills, but also earn him extra money. When he has time in the future, he can take the steel-toothed rabbits out to the trading point to exchange for more rabbit fur blankets.
At around 6 p.m., after getting off work and returning home, Xia Xiaoman filled a basin of hot water to soak her feet. After her body was warm, she used the water to wash Ximaodan's feet.
After pouring the foot washing water out of the yard, Xia Xiaoman cleaned up and prepared to cook dinner. She and Maodan had been quite active these days, so she planned to kill a few steel-toothed rabbits for Maodan to eat.
Boiled rabbit meat with steel teeth, I'm tired of eating hairy eggs. Xia Xiaoman roasted 15 rabbit meat with steel teeth, brushing each one with a layer of honey sauce.
Grilled meat with honey sauce is Maodan's favorite food, but Xia Xiaoman rarely grills it for him because she finds it troublesome.
After roasting the rabbit meat and putting it into Maodan's rice bowl, Xia Xiaoman began to prepare her own dinner. She took out a large sea fish from the space, cleaned it, rubbed it with seasoning, marinated it for about ten minutes, wrapped it in tin foil, put it in a baking tray and roasted it over the fire.
While the fish was grilling, she started to prepare the side dishes. When eating grilled fish, she likes to eat wide noodles soaked in soup, bean curd, and some hot pot meatballs and potato chips.
The spicy grilled fish was ready, and Xia Xiaoman took out the white rice she had prepared earlier from the space. Just as she was about to start eating, a huge rumble suddenly sounded, and the whole villa shook with the loud noise.
Maodan was so frightened that his fur stood up and his eyes stared around vigilantly.
Xia Xiaoman frowned, put the grilled fish and rice into the space, then picked up his coat and ran to the second-floor balcony.
In the distance, a mountain was collapsing and sinking rapidly. The dust and snow mist raised by the collapse of the mountain were spreading in the air. From a distance, it looked like a layer of thick smoke.
Suddenly, Xia Xiaoman felt something was wrong. It was late at night, and how could she see the mountain opposite without any tools?
Xia Xiaoman looked up and saw a full moon hanging in the dark sky. The moonlight was bright and white, like a huge light bulb.
I haven't seen such bright moonlight for almost half a year.
Suddenly, she thought of something and thought to herself that it was not good. Just as she was about to drive Maodan into the house, she saw that Maodan's blood had awakened, and he raised his head excitedly and howled towards the moon.
“Awooo~Awooo~”
Xia Xiaoman immediately gave Maodan a slap on the head and said, "Stop howling and go back to the house. Be careful not to attract bad guys and turn you into wolf meat stew!"
She reached out and covered Maodan's mouth, forced him to mute himself, then pulled him back into the house and closed the door.
After Maodan calmed down, she took out the telescope to see the situation of the mountain in the distance. The telescope was not fast enough, and there was too much dust raised by the collapse of the mountain. She could only see a few figures running out in the mist, and nothing else.
However, looking at the collapsed area, Xia Xiaoman guessed that it might be the address where the underground city was planned to be built. Maybe something went wrong during the excavation, causing the mountain to collapse.
…
The next morning, Xia Xiaoman settled Maodan down and left home alone.
She stayed at home every day and never went out. She was completely cut off from the news, so she was always the last to know about any movement in the floating city.
During this period of time, I have accumulated a lot of Steel-Tooth Rabbits in the space, so I can take them to the trading point to exchange for supplies and inquire about some information at the same time.
After entering the sewer, Xia Xiaoman went to find Sun Haiyun first. Sun Haiyun usually went to the power station at 9 o'clock in the morning. It was not so cold at this time, which was considered a work benefit.
It's only half past eight and there's nothing to do, so Sun Haiyun will cook breakfast at his seat.
Sure enough, when Xia Xiaoman found Sun Haiyun, he was eating breakfast. Sun Haiyun saw Xia Xiaoman and asked, "Are you here to see Weiwei?"
Xia Xiaoman shook her head and said straight to the point: "No, I came to see you. Yesterday I saw a mountain seemed to have collapsed. Do you know what happened?"
Sun Haiyun was stunned. He didn't expect Xia Xiaoman to come to him to ask this. "I know. That's the newly selected site for the construction of the underground city. Yesterday, the private base sent people to sabotage it and blew it up."
