Beita Beach.

Under the wise command of Captain Wu and the unremitting efforts of more than a dozen soldiers, after half an hour of hard work, they finally succeeded...

All the iron rods were broken.

When the last rod broke, there was dead silence below the embankment.

Everyone looked at the wall, which was only uneven on the surface, with the deepest scar being no bigger than the size of a bowl, but still maintained a seamless whole.

Considering that it was eight feet thick, or about two and a half meters, everyone shed tears of grievance.

A feeling similar to that of the Gold Saints in front of the Wall of Sighs surged in their hearts.

It’s really hard for me…

But even if they learn the Twelve Golden Rules and try their best to be stubborn, they can only bang their brains against the wall.

What am I doing?

Captain Wu wiped away his tears and was about to encourage his men, but he heard an urgent report from the scouts he sent out - the dike patrol team has arrived!

Everyone quickly lay on the ground. The sky was as dark as dusk, and the yellow mud all over their bodies was the best camouflage. As long as the patrol team did not go down the dike, they would never be discovered.

The only problem was that it had been raining for too long, and the yellow mud under the embankment had accumulated to nearly a foot deep.

The unlucky members of the dike-destroying team could only hold their breath and bury their faces in the mud...

Sure enough, the dozens of patrolling dike soldiers walked past the dike above their heads, stopped and looked towards the river for a while, but did not find anyone under their feet.

The members of the dike-destroying team felt very humiliated. They had been busy for half an hour, but the other person didn't feel anything at all.

Many people lay in the mud and shed tears of humiliation, feeling that they were being silently despised by a huge dam.

After the sound from the dike faded away for a while, the scout climbed up to take a look, then made a gesture to Captain Wu that the danger was all gone.

One after another, the men stood up from the yellow mud soup, many of them gasping for breath and almost suffocating to death.

"Boss, let's retreat." The deputy wiped his face and suggested in frustration. "This concrete wall is too weird. I don't think we can even blow it up with a cannon."

"Give it up, boss." The other sergeants chimed in. "I can't even lift my arms."

"Boss, I don't want to sleep with Xiao Fengxi anymore. I just want to go home and rest." The pervert before cried and swung his arms to beg, "Otherwise my hand will be completely useless. How can I not beg for help in the future?"

"Shut up!" Captain Wu shouted angrily and punched the stone embankment, causing blood to flow out immediately.

Damn, that hurts...

Fortunately, his face was covered in mud, so the kids couldn't see his distorted face. "I made a military order with Manager Xu, and I will not return until the dam is broken!"

"It's useless even if you give him our heads." The subordinates were not happy and slapped the mountain-like embankment and said, "I don't believe anyone in the world can break open this explanation!"

"Yes, boss. Unless we hire a stonemason, it will take a month or so to dig a hole." The deputy advised, "It will be useless to rely on us to work until tomorrow."

"That's right. Besides, our chisels are broken. How can we dig with our hands?" The people below began to feel dissatisfied and their words became less polite.

"Got it!" Captain Wu was reminded at once. He pointed to the ground and said, "Well, the dike is made of stone, and we can't do anything about it. But the ground can't be made of stone too, right?"

"That's impossible." The soldiers shook their heads and said, "At most there is a foundation."

"Let's dig at the base of the wall, dig down along the wall, make a hole under the foundation, and dig all the way to the other side of the embankment. As the saying goes, a thousand-mile embankment can be destroyed by a single hole. As long as we make the hole bigger, the effect will be the same!"

"This is possible." Seeing that the captain finally gave up his stubbornness, the soldiers felt relieved. They quickly mustered up their remaining courage, picked up their pickaxes, and started digging.

Now we can finally see progress. After a while, a big hole was dug out.

The deputy pulled Captain Wu aside and whispered, "Boss, will this method work?"

"How should I know?" Captain Wu rolled his eyes and said in a self-deprecating tone, "Never mind, as long as I can get the job done."

"Yeah, that's true..." The deputy agreed with him. If he continued to drill at the wall, he would really want to die.

~~

The same mood enveloped another team - the rat-catching team with Mi Wa as the captain and Goudan as the deputy captain, which also suffered an unprecedented defeat!

They searched several grids but didn't find a single mouse.

In fact, there are no rats on the embankment.

The two children didn't even think about the fact that the adults had spent a month repairing the dike here. They had to dig out all the rats to improve their food.

After the levee was built, the levee was soaked in water for a long time. There was nothing to eat, and naturally there were no new rats moving in.

Looking at the increasingly frustrated deputy captain and only team member, Miwa, like some leaders, was unwilling to admit his own decision-making mistakes, and instead used one verbal attack after another to drive his subordinates to move forward.

“There must be a next one!”

"Don't worry, no one knows how to catch mice better than me!"

"The rats will appear soon, and we will be rich soon."

"Wow, the captain is so awesome!" Goudan really fell for his tricks. He kept boosting morale and followed his captain to rush to the next square.

However, Miwa herself was already discouraged. Although she didn't know where the mouse had gone, it didn't exist, and she couldn't make it appear even if she insisted.

So he thought of a way out for himself, pretending to have finished searching this section, and then hurried back home.

Although he would be scolded all the way, fortunately Goudan was very forgetful and after a night's sleep he would think of him as the captain of Kunshan again.

So he pulled his arm out of the rat hole and was about to say, "It must be that the patrolmen were too noisy and scared the rats away..."

But he suddenly stopped moving because he heard some strange noises.

"What's wrong, Captain? Were you bitten by a rat?" Gou'er asked with concern. Although he was often played around with by the captain, in his heart, the captain was the most handsome guy in Kunshan.

But Miwa raised her hand to silence him, and then put her ear to the mouse hole.

I heard the sound of 'whoosh, whoosh, whoosh' coming from the cave again.

It’s really not an auditory hallucination!

Mi Wa thought to himself, why does it sound like a shovel digging soil?

What a big rat is in here!

He waved his hand and asked Goudan to come over and listen.

Goudan was horrified when he heard this, and asked the captain in a low voice: "What the hell is this?"

"There's a mouse as big as a pig in there..." Miwa couldn't help but whispered proudly, "How is it? No one knows how to catch mice better than me, right?"

"How can I catch it?" Goudan worried.

"Hmm..." Miwa thought so too. When the two were worrying, they suddenly heard a faint human voice coming from the cave again.

"I'm so tired..."

"The big rat has become a demon!" The two children were immediately terrified. Just as Goudan was about to scream, Miwa covered his mouth.

"Be careful, don't let the rat spirit hear it." Miwa reminded him softly in his ear.

Goudan nodded quickly, covered his mouth like the captain, climbed up the embankment on tiptoe, and then climbed a long way out. The two of them dared to get up and run, chasing in the direction of the embankment patrol team.

In front of the rat spirit, those annoying adults became life-saving straws.
