After dinner.
Luo Yuan closed the gate of the post and dismantled several heavy machine guns from the gun holes. Then he used a machete to cut some pieces of concrete from the highway and blocked the gun holes.
When spending the night in the wild in the apocalypse, what you fear most is not the large mutant beasts, but the insects and snakes. No matter how careful a large creature is, it cannot hide the huge movements it makes when it moves. On the contrary, those small creatures are difficult to detect. If you are not careful, you may not even know how to die.
As night gradually falls, under the dense shade of the Tianzhu tree, almost no light can be seen, and the originally noisy and noisy world gradually becomes quiet.
The space of the post is so small that tents cannot be set up inside. Fortunately, there is no shortage of beds. There are several wooden beds on the first floor that were originally used by the soldiers of the post to rest, which can fully accommodate everyone here.
Luo Yuan wiped the knife carefully and put it on the bedside.
"Wash your feet!" Huang Jiahui took a washbasin and placed it at Luo Yuan's feet, wanting to give him slippers.
"I'll do it!" Luo Yuan was a little uncomfortable with this and shrank his feet: "Where did this water come from?"
Huang Jiahui pursed her lips with a demure smile, persistently grabbed Luo Yuan's feet, took off his shoes, and said gently: "I think the water for washing my face is relatively clean, and I mixed it with some hot water."
She put Luo Yuan's feet in the basin, washed his feet gently, and said in a faint tone: "Do you think we are a burden to you? If it weren't for us to be a burden, maybe you wouldn't have to do it every time. With such an adventure, if you go to the west alone, you may arrive there in just a few days.”
The great strength Luo Yuan showed today gave her a huge shock. She suddenly felt a sense of insecurity in her heart, fearing that one day she would be abandoned by Luo Yuan and go alone.
Many people immediately looked over with complicated expressions.
Luo Yuan felt that her mood was a little abnormal, sighed and said with relief: "Don't think too much, no one is a burden. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to eat a hot meal now, and there would be no one to talk to me. Give it to me." Wash your feet."
"I'll wash you just once today." Huang Jiahui showed a smile on her lips.
"Then wash every day!" Luo Yuan said without any doubt.
…
Cao Lin lay on the wooden bed and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
If we talk about the insecurity in her heart, who can compare with her? She is neither an evolver nor is she like Huang Jiahui or Wang Xiuguang who has a close relationship with Luo Yuan. In addition to helping with small things like cooking, washing, and mopping the floor, Besides, in this small team, she doesn't have much role at all. Even she couldn't think of any reason or value for Luo Yuan to continue to protect him.
In order to increase the weight in Luo Yuan's heart, she would not hesitate even if she did something more shameful, not to mention sleeping with him. Unfortunately, Luo Yuan had no such intention at all. Normally, he would not even bother to look at her. No.
She had had this kind of thought before, but as she stayed there longer, she realized that Luo Yuan was not a lecherous person, and her thoughts gradually faded away. It was not until today that she suddenly felt horrified.
"We can't go on like this, we should take the initiative." Cao Lin touched her smooth face and her extremely sensitive breasts, her face showed a trace of scarlet flush, she bit her delicate lips and thought to herself.
Not only Cao Lin, many people tossed and turned that night and did not sleep well.
A restless night!
Early on the first morning, when Luo Yuan walked out of the outpost, he was stunned.
A somewhat unfamiliar mutated beast was lying near the outpost, exuding an unusually depressing aura. If he hadn't felt that the aura was familiar, he would have almost pulled out his sword.
Overnight, the monitor lizard had undergone tremendous changes. It had grown in size, and its original green scales had now turned into dark green, with complex geometric patterns appearing on its scales.
Most of the bone spurs on the head have degenerated, but one bone spur in the middle has remained. Its color has changed from black to jade color, and it has a spiral shape. Luo Yuan even found that its pupils have become three. Arranged in an equilateral triangle, it looks extremely strange and carries a mysterious majesty.
In addition, its toes have changed from three to four, and the color of its nails has also become darker, with a metallic texture and a cold light.
When the monitor lizard saw Luo Yuan approaching, it raised its eyelids, and there seemed to be a hint of unruliness and wildness in its eyes. After a long time, it stood up lazily.
It is no longer as secretly trembling as before, and its attitude has become much more alienated. Its movements seem a bit provocative. Its strong strength has also enhanced its self-confidence, and it is no longer as afraid of Luo Yuan as before.
However, Luo Yuan was still immersed in excitement at this time and did not notice anything strange about the giant lizard.
At this time, something incredible happened. It snorted suddenly, and a puff of white smoke came out of its nostrils. Countless sparks made a "thunderbolt" explosion in the thick smoke.
Even the temperature of the air rose a few degrees. Luo Yuan was worried that it would not be able to control the spray on him, so he quickly took a few steps back.
He opened the attribute panel and found the sub-section of the war beast. Sure enough, the attributes inside had changed significantly.
"War Beast: Jungle Monitor;"
"Level: Level 3 (Dark Blue);"
Attributes
Strength: 20
Agility: 14
Physique: 18
Intelligence: 4
Perception: 5
Will: 12
Experience: 180/9600
Skills: Bite 19, Tear: 8; Impact: 5; Tail Strike Mastery: 0; Wild Survival: 18, Sense Motive: 3; Breath: 2
Natural Abilities: Danger Sense, Fire Breath
Status: strong
Loyalty: 54 (lower than 50, you will rebel or run away at any time, full value is 100)
Unassigned attribute points: 1
Unassigned skill points: 5
The level has changed from blue to dark blue. In addition, except for the agility attribute that has not increased and the strength that has been specifically increased by two points, all other attributes have increased by one point. The skill options have also added skills such as tearing, impact, Sense Motive, and Breathing.
The skills of tearing, impacting, and breathing are not surprising. The attacks of the monitor lizard were too monotonous in the past. Apart from the bite and tail blow, the claws were almost never used. But this time, its sharp claws and the sharp point on its head are all used. Kakuzu has evolved, and it is obvious that it will not be a decoration, so skills in this area appeared. It's just that Luo Yuan doesn't understand what's going on with this observation of words and expressions.
"Is it related to the long-term violent training of the giant lizard? Or maybe it is that this evolution has increased a little intelligence and made it smarter, so that it has the ability to detect words and colors." Luo Yuan thought to himself.
After all, it was a good thing that the monitor lizard became smarter. Luo Yuan thought about it for a while and stopped thinking about it.
The strength of the evolved giant lizard has undergone earth-shaking changes this time. Except for agility, almost every attribute has increased, and the overall strength has more than doubled. Thinking about it, it already had the strength to challenge the deep blue-level mutant creatures. Now that it has evolved, with its current strength, I am afraid that ordinary deep blue-level creatures are no longer its opponents.
However, it is a pity that agility has not increased. It may be because the system frequently adds points, which has made its agility attribute evolve in advance, and it seems that it will not increase automatically in the future.
At this time, Luo Yuan's eyes glanced at Loyalty, and his pupils shrank suddenly:
"Why has this loyalty dropped to 53? It's lower than when we first recovered."
He suddenly looked up, and sure enough, there was some hostility in the giant lizard's eyes. Luo Yuan thought angrily: If his remaining power hadn't left a deep impression on it, I'm afraid this giant lizard would have rebelled.
"Damn, you really are an immature wolf. Fortunately, there are still a few attribute points that have not been allocated. Otherwise, you would have rebelled against the world. It would be even harder to regain it than to climb to the sky." He had anger on his face, and in his heart A trace of murderous intent arose, but he still held it back.
Even if his subordinates become stronger, they will rebel on their own, let alone the mutated beasts whose thinking is more pure and respects the strong. But thinking like this, I still feel extremely angry in my heart.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
Now the monitor lizard no longer has any fear. If you don't care about anything and let it develop, I'm afraid it won't be long before it gets out of control and even bites you. So far, there are only two ways, one is to let it go, the other is to let it go. One will re-conquer, and there is no other way.
But without the powerful human shield of the giant lizard, his overall strength has been lost by almost half. And without the threat of the giant lizard, I'm afraid the journey would not be so safe and peaceful. Just waves of attacks from low-level mutant beasts would be enough to overwhelm him. Whether it was the need for combat power or safety, he could not give up. Fortunately, it did not completely rebel, and there was still a great chance of being tamed again.
Thinking of this, he walked towards it step by step. The monitor lizard instinctively sensed the threat. It hesitated, growled in warning, and pulled the corners of its mouth, revealing its ferocious fangs. However, its loyalty had not fallen yet. It broke the threshold, and Luo Yuan had always left an extremely powerful impression on it, so he only showed a warning but did not dare to actually attack.
But as Luo Yuan continued to approach, the hostility in the monitor lizard's eyes became deeper and deeper, and the loyalty on the attribute panel was also slowly declining.
53… 52…
Luo Yuan was sweating drop by drop. He licked his lips nervously and pressed the handle of the knife hard. If the giant lizard really dared to attack, he would not be able to stay any longer.
The giant lizard became extremely irritable, roaring at Luo Yuan, and made leaping gestures from time to time, trying to make Luo Yuan retreat. The terrifying sound waves generated by the roar made the muscles on Luo Yuan's face tremble like waves, as if he had been struck by a knife. However, with the appearance of a thin layer of will light film, this invisible attack was completely blocked.
The huge movement here has already attracted everyone's attention.
Huang Jiahui's mind went blank, her body swayed, and she almost fainted.
"Let's go and take down the cannon from upstairs." Huang Jiahui came to her senses and shouted quickly.
Huo Dong's eyes lit up, and together with Chen Xianfeng and Lin Xiaoji, they quickly ran to the second floor. Machine guns are medium-sized weapons that can generally only be fixed on machinery and fortifications. Ordinary people can't even move them, but after long-term consumption of mutations, Beasts, their physiques have already been greatly enhanced. Although it is still a bit strenuous, I can still carry it alone.
This kind of terrifying weapon is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and even Huang Jiahui has never seen it. She used to be a police officer, and this kind of weapon of war was obviously not something that an ordinary criminal police officer in a rural town could have access to.
However, most modern weapons are operated by fools, especially modern cannons, which are also activated by electronic buttons. The operation is not complicated. After a few people thought about it, they set up three cannons at the gate of the outpost. , the long bullet dragged down.
"Calm down, take a deep breath." Huo Dong muttered to himself, his hand shaking as he pressed the button, his face covered in cold sweat.
… …
Luo Yuan's face was gloomy, and he slowly pulled out the long knife, and a cold brilliance lit up on the blade.
The huge danger caused the monitor lizard to spit out thick smoke from its irritable nostrils, and sparks flew everywhere.
The monitor lizard was now six meters tall and close to seven meters tall, and Luo was no more than 1.76 meters tall. It could swallow him in one bite as long as it lowered its head, but it kept retreating slowly.
Luo Yuan's steps were heavy and he approached step by step. He stretched out his left hand and pressed it in the air. This was a very familiar gesture to the giant lizard. It had suffered a lot of pain in order to remember it deeply.
Get down!
The monitor lizard looked down at Luo Yuan with its cold eyes, showing a trace of hesitation and struggle. After a long time, it finally slowly lowered its head and lay on the ground. But the hostility in his eyes grew stronger.
Luo Yuan took a few steps and touched his head, but the next moment, a fist packed with a strong will hit its exoskeleton head hard.
51 points of loyalty instantly became 45.
A trace of violence flashed in the monitor lizard's eyes. It raised its head suddenly, opened its bloody mouth and aimed at Luo Yuan to spit out a mouthful of flames.
The temperature of this flame was not high, but it had a very strong impact. The highway was directly ejected by the flames, creating a hole half a meter deep, and the gravel flew everywhere with the flames.
But then, its brain became dizzy again, its body swayed, and it almost fell down.
Luo Yuan was seen standing on its head, holding the giant lizard's horn tightly in his hand, and punched its head hard one after another. Counting the bonus from Guihuai's Heart, he has fifteen points of will. Even if the giant lizard is extremely resistant to will, it cannot completely compete for a while.
The monitor lizard seemed to be drunk, its body was swaying, and the strong dizziness had made its reaction extremely slow.
Three punches, four punches... ten punches, eleven punches...
After fifteen punches, the giant lizard finally fell down, and it finally let out a whimpering cry for mercy.
Luo Yuan sneered and continued to hit hard, thinking: It's too late to beg for mercy now. If I don't teach you a profound and unforgettable lesson, I'm afraid you will forget it again in the future.
During this period, the giant lizard tried to resist again, but was soon forced down by Luo Yuan. Seeing that Luo Yuan had no intention of stopping, fear finally appeared in its eyes and its body began to tremble, but Luo Yuan's fists still did not stop. After a while, It was foaming at the mouth.
Luo Yuan punched it one last time and found that there was no reaction at all. Only then did he realize that it had completely fainted.
He finally stood up and breathed a sigh of relief. This time it was a complete adventure. If the giant lizard hadn't betrayed him completely and was not wary of him, otherwise, if he wanted to subdue him directly with real swords and guns again, the result might be It’s really hard to say.
After all, the monitor lizard is a dark blue-level creature, and it has system attribute points. It is not inferior to some dark blue-level mutant beasts that have evolved longer, and is even stronger.
Luo Yuan opened the attribute panel and found that the monitor lizard's loyalty had changed dramatically again. It had jumped to 75, which was an unprecedented number. It seems that the lesson this time has completely eliminated its wildness, and its loyalty will not decline again in a short time.
Luo Yuan jumped off the giant lizard and saw a few cannons at the gate of the outpost, and a few drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Who moved out? Fortunately, they didn't use such a big killer. Otherwise, with their poor operating skills, if they scanned randomly, they might not even be able to dodge him, and maybe the monitor lizard would also be killed.
He has seen the power of the machine cannon before. If the fire is concentrated, deep blue-level creatures will not be able to defend against it.
At this time, Huang Jiahui ran over quickly with a pale face and hugged Luo Yuan tightly.
Luo Yuan felt her body shaking like a sieve, obviously worried. A warmth arose in his heart, he patted her round back and said softly: "Okay, aren't I fine? , It’s okay, it’s okay!”
After a long time, Huang Jiahui let go of Luo Yuan and wiped her wet eyes: "What happened just now? This is a monitor lizard, how could it suddenly attack you?"
"I saw it evolved, so I sparred with it. Don't worry about it." Luo Yuan said with a smile. It would be better not to say anything about the monitor lizard's almost betrayal just now. Not only is it useless, but it will add unnecessary fear.
Huang Jiahui glanced at Luo Yuan suspiciously, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, but looking at Luo Yuan's joking expression, it seemed to be true.
"Don't think too much. Now that everyone is up, prepare your luggage and set off after the giant lizard wakes up." Luo Yuan quickly interrupted her thoughts.
The two walked back to the outpost. Huo Dong hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Boss Luo, I want to take the machine gun with me."
Luo Yuan paused and asked in surprise: "You want to take away the machine cannon, how can you resist? There are also bullets. The starting bullets of this thing are the same as water. You can shoot a box of bullets in a few minutes." over."
Huo Dong swallowed, glanced at Chen Xianfeng and Lin Xiaoji, and said reluctantly: "Chen Xianfeng, Lin Xiaoji and I can take turns moving, and it will definitely not delay everyone's progress."
"I can help too!" Ning Xiaoran whispered, her face turned red, and she muttered: "My strength is also very strong now!"
"I can move too!" Cao Lin also said.
Wang Xiaguang glanced at Cao Lin in surprise, feeling a little shocked in his heart.
Luo Yuan glanced at everyone and suddenly understood their mentality.
To be honest, Luo Yuan didn't have many requirements for these ordinary people. When he brought them out, he didn't think that they would bring any help. It was entirely because of his conscience that he would save each one. After all, the gap in strength between the two was too big. Many times, they couldn't even get close to the mutant beasts Luo Yuan dealt with. Even if they wanted to, they couldn't help. At most, they could do what they could.
But I didn't expect that their pressure would be so great that even the two Evolvers couldn't hold it back.
However, Luo Yuan was also happy to see their mentality come to fruition. He nodded: "If that's the case, then take it with you."
A few people quickly packed their luggage. Luo Yuan walked outside and kicked the giant lizard hard. The lizard moved for a while but did not respond. Luo Yuan aimed at its nose and kicked it again. This time the giant lizard finally woke up. , it was about to roar, but realized it was Luo Yuan. A trace of fear flashed in its eyes, and it stood up timidly.
Luo Yuan looked at its wretched appearance. As long as his strength hadn't changed drastically again, he probably wouldn't have rebelled. After thinking about it, he added the attribute points left over from yesterday's upgrade to his agility. The agility was blurred for a moment, and he immediately became Jump to 15 o'clock.
The monitor lizard seemed to feel something. It roared excitedly and stepped forward. When it looked at Luo Yuan, there was a rare admiration in its eyes, and its attitude became much closer.
This expression has never appeared before.
He quickly checked its loyalty and found that it had reached 80, almost reaching the sky.
"Slap and give me a sweet date?" Luo Yuan thought thoughtfully.
As soon as he realized something, a prompt came from the system: "After a long period of hard work, you have understood the art of taming animals;"
Luo Yuan was a little surprised. On the attribute panel, the words "Animal Taming: 0" appeared at the end of the skill.
He didn't expect that there was such a skill, but he only glanced at it and stopped paying attention. This skill was obviously related to improving the loyalty of the monitor lizard. However, now that the monitor lizard's loyalty is so high, it may not be useful in a short time.
He allocated the five skill points of the giant lizard again and added one point to Pounce and Bite. Pounce and Bite became "Pounce and Bite Mastery: 0". The next four points made him hesitate for a while, and finally he clicked them all to " "Breath", he keenly felt that this breath would probably become the most powerful ability in the future.
After allocating the remaining attribute points and skill points of the monitor lizard, Luo Yuan asked it to lie down again and hung a large package around its neck.
The raincloth almost broke in yesterday's battle, so Luo Yuan used dark blue feathers to synthesize it. Now, as long as you don't attack it, it can't be destroyed by ordinary friction and tearing.
Luo Yuan turned around and saw Huo Dong and the others carrying a machine gun and two boxes of bullets, which seemed quite strenuous. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, you can't walk for long like this, and there's no need to change. Bring a box of bullets and put them inside."
Luo Yuan took off the package again and spread it out.
Chen Xianfeng ran over with a grateful look on his face. When he got close to the giant lizard, he felt uneasy looking at the huge body, but in the end he gritted his teeth and walked over.
Luo Yuan originally wanted to put the bullets into the package, but then he thought that if the bullets hit violently, they might explode. The synthetic raincloth might not be broken, but all the materials inside would be destroyed.
He dug out another piece of raincloth, roughly combined it with the extra feathers, divided it into two packages, and hung them on the monitor lizard.
These two packages weighed nearly two hundred kilograms, but to a super life form like the monitor lizard, they were completely worthless. Even if a ten-ton object weighed on it, it would probably be able to move freely.
… …
In two hours, everyone had reached the outside of the shade of the Tianzhu tree.
At this time, the ground shook violently.
Huo Dong's foot went weak, and Luo Yuan's quick eyesight and quick hands quickly dragged out the bullet box before it fell to the ground.
Luo Yuan looked back in surprise and found that not only the area near the Tianzhu Tree, but also the entire Hedong City was shaking violently. Several dangerous buildings in the distance began to collapse like building blocks after shaking a few times.
Standing on the highway and looking into the distance, a cloud of smoke and dust gradually rose up over hundreds of kilometers.
The Tianzhu tree continues to grow, and this area has been vibrating, but it has always been very weak. If you don't sense it carefully, you won't be able to feel it in many cases, and the range is also very small. It is basically the area where the terrain is uplifted near the tree trunk. There has never been such a strong earthquake in such a large area. This seems to be a large-scale earthquake, and it should be above magnitude 4.
The monitor lizard became a little restless, and the mutated birds in the shade also started to commotion. They left the Tianzhu tree one after another and flew away in the distance with whining voices. Further away, there were also bursts of beast roars, one after another.
There were several abnormally large mutated birds that even made Luo Yuan's scalp numb when he saw them.
"What happened? What happened?" He was confused. An earthquake of this magnitude was nothing in his eyes. As long as a slightly stronger dilapidated building could collapse, it would be impossible for such a terrifying earthquake to happen. The mutated creatures panic.
Various abnormal phenomena made him extremely uneasy.
