It was still dark the next day, and everyone got up early.
Many people didn't sleep well all night and had dark circles on their faces.
The atmosphere in the living room seemed a bit depressing, and everyone was packing their luggage silently. In fact, most people were unwilling to move, including Huo Dong. He was nearly middle-aged, and his physical strength and energy were not comparable to those of young people, and he himself If you are not an evolver, you will probably die on the way.
But what if I don’t want to go? Should I stay
He knew very well that if Luo Yuan was not there, he might die faster if he stayed here. Without the strength, he would not even be able to survive!
He put on his backpack and grabbed a machete tightly, holding it tightly.
"Do you need me to get anything?" Wang Xiaguang asked sheepishly when she saw that several people were packing their things, but she was the only one with empty hands.
"No, you have just recovered, we have helped you get everything." Huang Jiahui said with a smile.
"As long as you can keep up with us!" Master Wang couldn't help but interjected.
Wang Xiaguang's expression was already a little stiff. A woman's keen intuition made her feel that the relationship between the two women and Luo Yuan was unusual. One of them, the older one, seemed to sleep with Luo Yuan at night. Because everyone slept on the first floor of the villa, only these two people and Luo Yuan slept in the bedroom on the second floor of the villa, and there were only two bedrooms on the second floor. This discovery made her unable to sleep well all night, and she tossed and turned.
Luo Yuan glared at Master Wang: "Don't worry, we will walk slower on the first day and get used to it first. You should also eat more meat and your body will recover soon."
After these two nights of recovery and nourishment from mutated beast meat, Wang Xiuguang's complexion looked much better, but his body's deficit was not easy to recover from, and it would take at least a few more days of recovery.
Seeing that Luo Yuan was still treating her the same as before, Wang Xiaguang showed a happy smile: "I have a very good physique. I used to do morning exercises every day, so I can definitely keep up with you. Luo Yuan, do you still have a knife? I want it too." A handful.”
"It's best not to take them. These knives are very sharp and can easily hurt you." Luo Yuan hesitated and said, out of some sense of indebtedness, he didn't want Wang Xiaguang to fight. I just want to protect her well and not get hurt again.
"I have practiced kendo for a long time in college, so it should be fine." Wang Xiaguang said in surprise, not hearing what Luo Yuan was thinking.
"Okay, wait, there should be some in the basement. I'll go find one." Luo Yuan thought that if Wang Xiaguang had a weapon, he could save himself when he couldn't take care of him, so he no longer refused and found one from the basement. Take out the synthesized katana.
Wang Xiaguang took it, pulled out the bushido, threw the scabbard aside, then held the knife with both hands, took a deep breath, made several quick chops into the air, and said "haha" in her mouth, she seemed to Unsatisfied that Luo Yuan looked down on her, she smoothly performed the routine Luo Yuan gave to Huo Dong and others yesterday several times.
Luo Yuan's eyes lit up. Although from his point of view, her chopping movements were not standard enough, her speed was far from fast enough, and her final sure-kill routine was not smooth and smooth, but compared to Huo Dong and Chen Xianfeng , her speed is already quite fast.
It is impossible to kill the light blue mutant beast, but it is enough to kill the low-level mutant beast, not to mention that her body has not recovered at all. With the nourishment of food, the various attributes of the body can be further improved. When the time comes, kill Blue-level mutant beasts are not impossible.
After all, when he killed the light blue class, his physical fitness was not that high.
Everyone looked at her with different thoughts. No one thought that a weak woman who had just come over could have such a strong side. Even Lin Xiaoji, who was arrogant towards ordinary people and hid far away because of the stench all over her body, began to look at her differently. .
Wang Xiaguang practiced for a while, then stopped panting, looked at Luo Yuan with bright eyes and asked, "What do you think?"
"There's a little bit of foundation."
Wang Xiaguang wrinkled his eyebrows and nose cutely, and said coquettishly: "I haven't practiced for a long time. I will definitely surpass you in the future."
Wang Shishi curled her lips in disdain. In her heart, Brother Luo was the most powerful. No one could compare with Brother Luo. Some people even said that they wanted to surpass Luo Yuan. She was really not afraid of blowing their cover.
"Well, you have always been the best." Luo Yuan ignored Master Wang's little thoughts and smiled helplessly.
He took out and spread out a tarpaulin to cover the car, put most of the remaining things on it, and finally rolled up a large package that was as tall as a person. After tying it tightly with nylon ropes, he ran to the monitor lizard. Hang it around its neck.
Luo Yuan returned to the living room again, put a bag full of short spears on his back, and picked up the war saber. Seeing that everyone was ready, he said seriously: "Everyone's best to put more dried meat in their bags." … If you encounter danger and escape, you can still survive for a while. Also, if you don’t want to leave, it’s still too late to regret it. There are still a lot of supplies here to ensure that you can live without worries in a short period of time.”
Huo Dong looked at the taciturn Chen Xianfeng, then at the determined-looking Cao Lin and Ning Xiaoran, and sighed in his heart.
Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Luo Yuan nodded and said: "In that case, let's set off!
The weather was cloudless, which was a good sign.
As the huge body of the giant lizard slowly stood up, everyone followed and walked forward. Unless it was a tank, ordinary motor vehicles could not pass on the broken road. Others did not dare to sit on the giant lizard. So everyone, including Luo Yuan, walked forward. This is the first time for everyone except Luo Yuan to go out since arriving here from the air-raid shelter, but the scene outside is completely different from what it was a dozen days ago.
A lot of green, filling everyone's eyes.
Weeds, moss, and vines have covered this steel city, and patches of dense jungle have appeared in the distance.
The sun shone on my body, and instead of feeling warm, I felt cold all over.
Among them, Wang Xiaguang felt the deepest. When she entered the small base, Hedong City had not been destroyed, but when she looked at the city again, it had been completely reduced to ruins. The strong contrast and the drastic changes in the sea made her It took a long time to recover.
The monitor lizard's heavy body walked forward step by step. Every time a foot fell on the concrete on the road, a crack appeared with spider webs. The ground shook slightly. Even if there were huge rocks blocking the road, it would be difficult to stop it. Under the command of Luo Yuan, its path was knocked away one by one by its terrifying power. With the existence of this giant beast that was almost a deep blue-level creature, ordinary mutant beasts did not dare to approach it at all.
But even so, everyone was not moving very fast, and they had to try their best to avoid the territories of various mutant beasts along the way. They had to travel countless long distances, and after walking less than ten kilometers, it was already close to noon.
The gravel on the road was cleared and a tablecloth was put on it. Except for Lin Xiaoji, who sat far away consciously, the others gathered around and ate a hot meal.
After the meal, Luo Yuan took out a map of Hedong City.
"We are already here now!" Luo Yuan clicked on the map, and then drew a line: "It's less than fifteen kilometers away from the nearest highway. It's best to get there before dark. !”
"Why go to the highway? Most of the areas on both sides used to be farmland, but now they are probably forests. This is too dangerous," Huang Jiahui said.
"The highway has a high standard. It is both a civilian facility and a military facility. The concrete floor cannot be destroyed even by heavy tanks. Moreover, the highway was specially reinforced and widened before the end of the world. There are at least 100 meters of plant protection on both sides. There are isolation belts, and there are fortifications at intervals along the way, so you can rest inside them when the time comes.
I estimate that even now the damage there will not be serious, and if you can find a vehicle, you can even ride for a while. And we can only avoid getting lost by following the highway.
I'm not worried about the section of road that is close to farmland. What I'm most worried about is the section of the cross-sea bridge. If it breaks there, we may have to take a long detour. "
"I used to pass the cross-sea bridge frequently. It is dry for most of the year. I only see tidal flats and no water. At this time, the flood season should not have started yet. Is there no problem?" Cao Lin said.
"I hope so." Luo Yuan said solemnly.
The ocean occupies three-quarters of the earth, and there are tens of millions of times more species than there are on land. Before the end of the world, African elephants were the largest creatures on land, but they were not ranked at all when it came to marine creatures. If you take out these species, you can completely compare them to terrestrial creatures.
Fortunately, marine life only lives in the ocean. Otherwise, if these mutated and terrifying creatures climbed onto the land, mankind would be even more hopeless.
"However, this road also passes through Meishan Park, can't we avoid it?" Cao Lin said.
"It doesn't matter. My home used to be there. Before the fall of Hedong City, the entire mountain was sealed with cement." Ning Xiaoran whispered, her face already turning red before she finished speaking.
Everyone discussed for a while and finally decided on the journey.
After resting for ten minutes, everyone got back on the road.
During this period, an accident happened on the road and I encountered a large number of ants at the intersection.
This low-level creature ignored the giant lizard's aura and rushed towards it like a tide. Each of these ants was the size of a fist, covered in black and shiny, and crawled very fast. They were crawling everywhere not only on the road but also on the buildings on both sides. They were so dense that they couldn't be counted.
Even the monitor lizard retreated irritably when faced with such a group creature with sharp teeth, snoring non-stop.
Luo Yuan and others had no choice but to retreat a few streets far away, and wait until the group of terrifying creatures had completely passed before getting back on the road. There were a lot of fresh blood stains and white bones on the road, with no trace of flesh and blood attached to them.
Luo Yuan couldn't help but feel lucky to escape in time, otherwise, even if he faced so many ants, he might not be able to escape.
Mutated insects are no less dangerous than mutant beasts, and are even more terrifying in his heart. He will never forget the scene that happened in East Lake City. Countless green beetles fell from the sky like the god of death, and the entire East Lake City was destroyed in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, this group of ants is incomparable to the green beetles in terms of danger and destructive power. It is just a small episode on the road.
When darkness was about to fall, everyone finally approached the highway intersection.
This place is close to the suburbs and not far from the countryside.
At this time, everyone subconsciously stopped and looked into the distance with shocked faces. An indescribable large tree stood seven or eight kilometers away. A white mist surrounded its branches, making it look misty. , looming, like a fairyland.
The huge umbrella covered a space of several kilometers, and a large area below was shrouded in shadow, and the shadow even extended to the suburbs.
The branches that are hundreds of meters or even kilometers high seem to have experienced countless years. Even from a distance of seven or eight kilometers, Luo Yuan can still see the endless twisted and knotted scars on its trunk. Many of the tree crowns are scorched black. One piece, completely dead. Luo Yuan guessed that this was the effect of lightning. It had probably experienced countless lightning strikes.
But it still stands!
No matter how much Luo Yuan hates green plants after the end of the world, he has to admit that they are the miracle of life!
"I always thought that a single banyan tree can make a forest, but compared with this tree, all trees are just scum." Huo Dongmeng muttered.
"Isn't this the World Tree?" Master Wang exclaimed in a dreamy tone.
Luo Yuan did not object this time. The trees growing like this are almost like myths. In other words, they are developing like mythical creatures.
World Tree, even if World Tree really appeared, he wouldn't feel strange.
For this tree, Luo Yuan could no longer judge its level, but it was definitely not comparable to a ghost locust tree. Even the dark blue level probably couldn't describe Eleven. He could only hope that this tree was harmless and just instinctive. Growth, because he found that if he wanted to take the highway next, he would have to go through its shade for a long time.
"Don't sigh for now. Find a safe place to rest for the night and continue on the road tomorrow."
There are abandoned buildings everywhere here. It is easy to find an empty room to rest, but if you want to be safe, you need to search for it. Finally, everyone found a four-star hotel with a basement.
This basement used to be the office area of this hotel. The computers, printers, etc. are still there, but no one is working there anymore.
There is a thick layer of dust accumulated on the carpet and black blood stains can be seen everywhere. The skeletons of humans or mutant beasts are scattered randomly. There are also various weapons, including five or six firearms, and even some. There is a rifle.
But I didn't see many bullets, only the empty bullet casings.
Luo Yuan could imagine that there should have been a moderately fierce battle here not long ago. In the end, the survivors ran out of bullets and were attacked by bloodthirsty mutant beasts.
Because there was no light at all and it was completely dark. Even with a flashlight, it wouldn't be much better. Luo Yuan didn't want ordinary people like Huo Dong to take risks, so he checked carefully in person and picked out the mutant beasts that still hadn't left one by one. Clean it up.
Then he blocked the door connecting the parking lot and the office area with his desk to prevent mutant beasts from suddenly entering.
While Luo Yuan was checking security, others chose a large office. The light emitted by flashlights could not illuminate the entire space at all. Everyone was rummaging through their luggage silently. The unfamiliar and dead environment and the white skeletons everywhere outside the door , making everyone feel a great sense of insecurity.
When Luo Yuan opened the door and came in, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The office seemed to be a little more alive because of Luo Yuan's entry.
