"Third row! Near the center!"

Carlos ran between the wheat and the soil moved beside his foot.

"Next!"

"Near the water trench!"

Blue flooded the marked tunnel.

One waited where the water ended and attacked every rat forced to the surface.

Brann used his hammer to collapse entire tunnel sections. The impacts damaged some wheat, but the rats beneath them stopped moving.

Mira guarded the kitchen while two rats surfaced beside her.

She threw one knife into the ground in front of them.
