The four people who came to the sorting plant to pick up metal disappeared out of thin air. This incident made Ning Zhe feel particularly surprised. It was difficult for him to imagine how those people distanced themselves from him in such a short period of time, but this incident also

This aroused Ning Zhe's curiosity to a great extent. After exploring outside the hospital to no avail, he went directly to Fatty Li's dormitory and asked him: "How has your ability to control animals been developed recently?"

Already?"

Fatty Li didn't know why Ning Zhe suddenly asked about this, but he answered truthfully: "There has been some progress. I caught twenty or thirty rats before and have been training them to pick up scraps in the garbage dump. Now there are three more rats."

They are smart and can understand my commands, but they can only recognize some simple cans and cans at present, and it is difficult to distinguish the type of metal."

Ning Zhe asked: "When you control them, do you need to establish some kind of connection with them and use your own spiritual will to control them, or can you give orders and let them complete it on their own?"

"It's both. I can achieve relatively simple communication with them and roughly understand the thoughts of these animals. However, I don't know if this is my illusion, and I don't know if those animals can understand my thoughts, but they

It is true that I can do some simple things according to my thinking. I don’t know whether this is because they understand my orders or whether I am controlling them, but I think the former is more likely. Otherwise, it is not possible.

It's impossible that among so many rats, only three can be controlled by me." Fatty Li paused: "Brother Zhe, why did you suddenly ask me about this?"

"I need you to do me a favor." Ning Zhe said his thoughts straight to the point: "I want your mouse to help me track a few people!"

Fatty Li pursed his lips and shook his head: "This is a bit difficult, because although there is a certain connection between the mice and I, I cannot perceive their existence. To put it simply, to me, these mice are like

They are a group of two- or three-year-old children with very low intelligence. I can coax them to do something, but after leaving my sight, I don’t know whether they will do it or not. And

The scope of my ability is limited. Once they leave too far, they may not be able to come back, so if you want them to follow others, you are completely giving up!"

"I have my own ideas on this matter. All you have to do is cooperate with me!" Ning Zhe thought for a moment and then stood up: "Bring your mouse and let's do an experiment!"

…

The failure to follow up the night before made Ning Zhe quickly learn his lesson. After the metal was screened out at the sorting plant the next day, Ning Zhe began to pack the scrap metal himself and put a lot of steel bars horizontally in the bag.

and steel pipes. In this case, it will be very inconvenient for the other party to transport them. At the same time, he also put a few empty cans with nuts in the bag. As long as they are moved slightly, there will be a sound, which can increase the success rate of tracking.

.

I won’t go into details about the process. It was night soon, and Ning Zhe was also hibernating in the same position as the previous day. Fatty Li, who was called next to him, was also lying on the side, staring at the corner of the courtyard wall in front of him, not daring to breathe.

Around ten o'clock, four figures crossed into the courtyard again. Ning Zhe didn't know if they were the same people who had appeared the night before, but what was certain was that they were definitely members of the Nongtai Chu Bandit Group.

After the four people entered the yard with ease, they began to carry the metal. In less than ten seconds, they had already transported the bags out of the wall, and then disappeared into the darkness. Fatty Li saw several people leaving,

I want to get out of the garbage pile impatiently.

"Don't move, wait." Ning Zhe ordered softly. After waiting for about ten seconds, he gently got out of the garbage pile, tiptoed to the corner and took a look. After confirming that the outside was still extremely empty,

He looked at Fatty Li next to him: "How are you, are you following?"

"I don't know. There is no remote sensing between me and the mouse, but I have already given the order! The smartest mouse is also sent!" As Fatty Li spoke, he pushed the switch of the flashlight and shook it on the ground.

He breathed out a sigh of relief: "Brother Zhe, you should have caught up!"

Ning Zhe looked at the ground and clenched his fist slightly. At this moment, there was a string of faint yellow marks on the ground under their feet, all of which were scattered millet.

This is Ning Zhe's method. He hung a bag full of millet on the mouse, and then opened a small hole. As the mouse moves, the millet inside will scatter out, forming a line on the ground. At this moment

The trace had led to the outside of the wall along a hole that Ning Zhe had dug in the corner during the day. He quickly climbed over the wall and began to follow the trajectory of the scattered millet. Fatty Li also followed behind Ning Zhe, rubbing his feet with his feet.

Touch the ground and erase the traces along the way.

What surprised Ning Zhe was that the mouse's trajectory did not spread very far as he imagined. Instead, it turned to the other side against the corner and only went ten meters away before stopping abruptly.

Fatty Li continued to observe, and soon found the mouse with a rice bag tied to its body in the grass nearby. He picked it up and put it into his pocket. He looked at the open space around him and said, "Brother Zhe, let's

If the tracking failed, I would say that the IQ of rats is low, making it unreliable for tracking, and..."

Ning Zhe waved his hand and looked at a big rock next to him: "We have not failed!"

The place where the two of them were standing at the moment was outside the west wall of the sorting plant. Outside was a large area of ​​wasteland filled with construction debris and overgrown with weeds. Ning Zhe had subconsciously ruled it out when he was tracking those people.

This direction, because the ground was full of bricks and tiles, was completely unsuitable for a few people to carry heavy loads. It wasn't until they were brought to this direction by the mouse that he really carefully observed this place and the track made of millet on the ground.

It spread all the way and pointed straight ahead to a large stone with a diameter of more than one meter. At the end of the trajectory, the amount of millet scattered became obviously larger, and it turned back intermittently, indicating that when the mouse approached the big stone,

When frightened, he quickly jumped away.

Thinking of this, Ning Zhe pushed away his flashlight and slowly walked to the edge of the big rock. Due to the low temperature, the ground on the edge of the big rock had been frozen hard and could not leave any footprints at all, but it was hard there.

On the frozen soil, there are obviously some pits and scratches. On the edge of one of the pits, there are fibers left when the hemp rope was scratched. Looking at the other side, there are obvious traces of the movement of heavy objects.

.

Ning Zhe looked at the marks on the ground and then at the big stone in front of him, and his heart suddenly became clear.
Chapter completed!
