Chapter 64 Smell

Hunter Farm is less than half an hour's drive from the village. Before he could reach his destination, Yu Yueming smelled the breath of various animals in the air.

They got off the car and before the people who greeted them arrived, a group of dogs surrounded them first.

Still want to fight? As soon as Yu Yueming pricked up his ears and tail and jumped out of the car, the dogs immediately showed their shrunk, and whimpered with their tails, and quickly retreated.

…Hey? I gave up so soon this time?

Yu Yueming walked up to the dogs in confusion and found that the other party immediately seemed even more frightened. Several of them even fell to the ground and exposed their belly tremblingly.

The appearance of these dogs reminded him of some common sheepdogs and cattle dogs. Although this type of dog breed is not specially bred for fighting, it is more aggressive than ordinary dogs because of the need to protect herds. It shouldn’t be so quick to admit defeat?

He noticed that the dogs were trying to smell the smell in the air, as they retreated, as if something special scented them.

So, will other canines be afraid of their own odor?

Thinking of the previous encounters, Yu Yueming had a definite answer in his heart.

The previous few times he encountered wolves and dogs, he was at a relatively disadvantage, only this time he was in the upper hand. The other party should have smelled a certain smell after approaching him, and was frightened.

Yu Yueming, who confirmed this fact, roared a few times, dispersed the dogs and allowed his teammates, especially Li Si, who was already scared to grow up with the car, to get off the car smoothly.

The owner of the farm also came up. It was a thin old man with gray hair and beard and aged spots on his face. Perhaps because of the rat, his mental state looked a little bad, with obvious tiredness and fatigue in his expression.

The old man scolded the dogs in a decent manner, and then smiled at the players.

"It's so rude. I'm the administrator here, Jack. The village chief has already told me about your affairs. Is there anything I can help with?"

Liu Mengze directly asked: "So, can you tell us about the distribution of buildings here and the situation of rat disease?"

"Of course. Please look there. There is a large fenced area over there. There is a cattle and sheep pasture. Next to it is a pig farm. The lower houses over there are chickens and ducks.

"The mice were making a big fuss at night, running around, and it was not very obvious during the day. A lot of chickens and ducks were taken away by them. The large poultry and livestock did not suffer direct losses for the time being, but they were also frightened.

"The livestock here have lost a lot of weight due to panic, and the milk production of cows has also dropped a lot. There are still many holes made by mice on the pasture. They sprained the feet of several cows before, so now I have locked all the livestock indoors."

When other players talked to the owner of the farm, Yu Yueming listened to their conversation with one ear, while the rest of his attention was observing the surroundings.

He soon found a cat lying on the haystack not far away. He remembered the experience in the last copy. He walked over tentatively and asked.

"Do you know what's going on with the rat disease here?"

However, to his disappointment, the cat had a furrowed back from the moment he found him approaching, showing a threatening expression. After he spoke, he let out a scream of "Meow-!" and ran away in a flash.

...The dogs here have very bad tempers, and even cats are not very smart. Yu Yueming pressed his ears in depression.

After discovering that he could not find a partner to communicate with, he silently walked back to his teammates and followed them to patrol the farm.

The situation in the farm is similar to what the other party said - the lawns everywhere in pits, panic livestock, buildings with many holes chisels, and the smell of mice everywhere in every corner.

Players placed equipment on the periphery of the building as usual, and considering that animals live in the farm, the use of rat poison was reduced.

After initially completing the work, they looked at the rat holes on the ranch and started discussing.

Li Si proposed the idea: "Do you want to try chemical spray? Or watering?"

"It's useless." Old Jack denied the proposal, "I tried it, but these rat holes are deeper than we thought, and there are multiple holes. These measures are not effective."

The players were not discouraged because they had received similar news from the village chief before.

Yu Yueming took advantage of the gap and used his sense of smell to track and search for abnormal breaths.

The smell of the farm is too mixed, with the smell of various livestock, the smell of feed, the natural smell of the pasture field, the smell of machinery such as vehicles, and the smell of human activities.

This forced him to do his best to mobilize his perception and try his best to distinguish every subtle breath from this complex smell.

Suddenly, he noticed a strange smell mixed in it.

It's the smell of blood.

Moreover, it is the smell of human blood.

Yu Yueming's ears tensed slightly for a moment, and soon relaxed again. He pretended not to notice any situation, followed his teammates quietly, listening to the information they found, and at the same time he was distracted and thought.

Is this a clue? Or is it just his illusion? Or is it just an irrelevant information, such as the smell of blood left by a rat?

He tried hard to distinguish the faint bloody smell among the many smells. This smell felt a little old, and it should not be a new one, but a residue from many days ago. Moreover, this is not a person's smell, but a smell mixed by many people...

These bloody smells are scattered in the pastures and are difficult to track. Yu Yueming can only record them for the time being and pay special attention to similar information.

After laying out the traps outside the building, the group turned to the inside of the breeding area.

The livestock here are indeed extremely nervous because of the rat. Just by opening the door and entering the animal pen, the cattle and sheep in captivity immediately became restless, trampling on the ground anxiously, making panic screams.

Even laymen can tell at a glance that something is wrong with these animals.

However, Yu Yueming did not smell a strange aura here.

The same was true for the subsequent bird houses. Although the animals were extremely abnormal, the chickens and ducks squeezed into a ball of poop in the middle of the field, terrified into a large ball of poop, he did not notice any abnormality visible to the naked eye.

Finally, they stepped into the pig farming field.

The moment he entered the door, Yu Yueming twitched his nose, and immediately restrained himself and prevented himself from showing any abnormalities.

On the surface, there is nothing special about this area.

But he smelled the blood again.
