At the First Ridge of the Ridges of Bottomless Stomachs, Lu Dongjun's estate had gone into full panic mode.
Every support hook snapped into defense as though the house itself had grown nerves. The entire estate was under attack.
The very same pests everyone had sworn were gone forever had returned. Worse still, they were no longer afraid of Lu Dongjun's poisoned rice.
Lu Dongjun scattered the poisoned rice everywhere, but it was completely useless.
The First Ridge had not seen this coming. They had been absolutely certain they would never lay eyes on another Annihilation Mosquito for the rest of their lives. So they had stopped worrying. They had stopped preparing. They had grown comfortable. In what felt like a single blink, the little piles of grain they had saved with such painful effort were devoured. Gone.

On their own, they might not have managed to break through. Lu Dongjun had spent a great deal of money fortifying his residence. The walls were high. The gates were thick. The guards were armed.
