Epoch of Twilight

Chapter 14: Yushui City

Views:

The two of them got on the high-speed train. Someone was already sitting next to Zhao Yali's seat. Luo Yuan discussed with the person and changed seats.

Luo Yuan helped Zhao Yali put away her luggage and sat down.

There were one man and two women sitting opposite. Luo Yuan naturally noticed the two women first. They seemed to have just cried, their eyes were red, and there was still a little fear on their faces. The man was tall, with a thin figure and a face. His face was covered with pimples, and he was currently comforting the two girls in a low voice.

The three of them were friendly and obviously knew each other. Judging from their ages, they were probably all college students.

"What happened just now? Why is there blood everywhere outside the train?" Luo Yuan knocked on the small table and asked the man.

The male college student glanced at Luo Yuan and explained: "Just now, a group of birds flew over in darkness, and for some reason, they suddenly crashed into the train. Fortunately, the train's skin was thick and the glass was bulletproof, otherwise it would have been dangerous. "

"It's so dark? Is there so much?" Luo Yuan said with a confused look on his face.

Luo Yuan, a middle-aged man in a business suit sitting next to him, interjected: "It's not an exaggeration at all. Anyway, the whole sky was dark at that time. I thought something was going on, but when I looked at the sky, damn, it turned out that the sky was everywhere. They are all birds.

Next, the glass started to crackle and the train began to shake. It had to stop for more than ten minutes to wait for the bird to fly away before continuing. You see, the glass window is still full of blood. I saw at least five of them hit the glass, which scared me to the point of white hair and sweat. Fortunately, it was a train. If it had been a plane, the plane would have crashed and everyone would have died. "The middle-aged man looked frightened and shook his head repeatedly.

Luo Yuan looked at the glass carefully. In addition to the blood stains, there were six white marks on it, which were obviously left by the collision of the hard beaks.

"Fortunately, I didn't catch up. Even if I was fine, I would still be scared." Luo Yuan said with a smile.

"Who says it's not? The world is getting worse and worse, and we don't know what it will be like in the future. It is said that China is still in the best situation, Africa has basically lost contact, and Europe and South America are also in dire straits. I heard that We killed a lot of giant beasts." The middle-aged man sighed and said with a heavy expression.

"China has a dense population, sparse forest area, and per capita green area is not worth mentioning. The intensity of the outbreak cannot be compared with other countries." The male college student comforted the two girls and joined the discussion.

"You guys should still be college students. Why are you out of school?" Zhao Yali had already recovered from her panic and asked the male college students.

"Several people died inexplicably in the school, and classes had to be suspended. It's considered an early winter vacation. I'm afraid we won't have to attend classes in the future." The male college student glanced at Zhao Yali and said helplessly.

"What about your diploma? Isn't college in vain?" Zhao Yali asked.

The two female college students began to sob quietly again.

"Who cares about diplomas now? Even if you have a diploma, you can't find a job."

Zhao Yali opened her mouth and was speechless.

The train finally started moving slowly, getting faster and faster.

The scenery outside flew by, and the peaks in the distance almost had signs of burning, but new buds soon grew on them. Maybe it won't be long before there will be a new dense forest...

An hour and a half later, Yushui City finally arrived.

The train slowly pulled into the station, the door opened, and Luo Yuan and Zhao Yali got off the train along with the crowd.

He waited for a while at the shipping office and retrieved his wooden box. He opened the wooden box slightly and saw that the Zhanma Dao was lying quietly in the box. Only then did he feel at ease. He opened the attribute panel and allocated the remaining five skill points to sword skills.

He closes his eyes!

At the same time, a sharp aura suddenly rose from his body, which lingered for a long time and lasted for several seconds before slowly dissipating. He opened his eyes, smiled at Zhao Yali, who was a little dazed, and said, "Let's go!"

"Oh, okay?" Zhao Yali responded and walked forward instinctively.

It took him a while to react, and he asked hesitantly: "What happened to you just now? You look so scary?"

"Afraid, aren't you dazzled?" Luo Yuan paused and asked doubtfully.

"I don't know. I felt weird just now. Maybe I was really dazzled?" Zhao Yali looked at Luo Yuan carefully, thought about it seriously, and said with some uncertainty.

Could something really be wrong? Luo Yuan thought to himself.

He immediately recalled the difference before and after adding some points, and soon felt the difference. In addition to his improved understanding of knife skills, his perception of the outside world seemed to be sharper, and he could easily concentrate on it. , could it be that the improvement of sword skills will also have a certain impact on the ethereal spiritual level.

He suddenly turned his head, stared at her, and asked with high concentration, "Is this what happened just now?"

Zhao Yali stared at him for a moment, and soon began to dodge. At this moment, she felt an invisible pressure hanging over her. She quickly blocked her eyes, hit him, and said angrily: "If you scare me again, I will ignore you! "

"Okay!" Luo Yuan smiled and soon returned to normal. He felt a little happy in his heart. This could be called momentum.

Although this ability is only an incidental ability of improving swordsmanship, it is obviously very effective for people with a weak will. At a glance, it can make people timid before fighting and defeat others without fighting, and it will follow in the future. As his sword skills improve, he will definitely become stronger and stronger.

"How did you do it?" Zhao Yali asked curiously.

"I practiced martial arts for a period of time when I was in college. It may have had some impact on my mental state. Anyway, most people will be scared as long as I glare at them." Luo Yuan said without blushing.

"Then you should be very powerful, right?" Zhao Yali said with surprise.

"Then it depends on who the opponent is. Is it true that ordinary people can't beat me?" Luo Yuan was not modest. He knew that Zhao Yali was weak-willed and needed to give her some confidence. Because there were mission warnings, he knew very well that there would be no safety along the way. , let her get used to it first, so that she can be mentally prepared to avoid a sudden mental breakdown that would distract him from fighting.

"If you hadn't told me today, I wouldn't have known that you were really strict with your mouth." Zhao Yali said angrily. She felt relieved and followed him, as if she didn't have to be afraid of anything.

The two chatted and followed the crowd to the bus station adjacent to the train station.

Luo Yuan noticed that the cars here were a little weird from other cars. The glass windows and windshields were welded with a grid of steel bars as thick as chopsticks. The thickened body was connected to a steel plate on all sides that was almost close to the ground, covering the tires inside. It was so tight that it looked like a steel monster.

Zhao Yali was stunned. The car had been modified like this. Thinking about it, she knew how bad Yushui City was.

"Let's go! Stop looking, this is your territory, what car should we take next?" Luo Yuan pulled Zhao Yali.

"There is no direct bus to our place. Take bus 203 to West Railway Station first, and then transfer to another bus!" Zhao Yali came back to her senses and pointed to bus 203 and said.

The two got on the bus and found a seat. After a while, the bus started moving.

Yushui City looked depressed, with few passers-by and most shops closed. Only a few were still open, but the iron sliding doors were half-closed and half-covered. The road looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a long time, and there was a lot of garbage accumulated. There were still some dark red blood stains on the road, obviously something happened here not long ago.

Within ten minutes, he encountered several military jeeps passing by at high speed, filled with fully armed soldiers. The sound of bullets firing could be heard from time to time in the distance, which gave Luo Yuan an unreal feeling.

Several passengers who had just come off the train station turned slightly pale when they saw this scene. They never imagined that Yushui City would become like this.

Zhao Yali looked out the window without saying a word. Luo Yuan patted her hand comfortingly. Just as he was about to take it back, he was held tightly by her.

The car seemed a bit depressing, with few people talking.

Fortunately, I was lucky enough to wait for the bus to enter the East Station, and nothing happened along the way

The station was deserted, with not many people at first glance. A few plastic bags were fluttering in the hot wind, giving it a desolate atmosphere.

It wasn't until eleven or twelve people got off the bus that the station became slightly more popular.

"Let's take the bus to Watergate and drive there in more than half an hour?" Zhao Yali said. Go forward first.

There was only one car going to Watergate, and a bus, both of which had been modified. The front of the car was stained with some blood and minced meat, and the surface was also full of potholes. It was shocking to see.

Luo Yuan looked away and suddenly asked: "Does the car going to Shuimen pass through Yushan?"

Zhao Yali was stunned for a moment: "We passed through a section of mountainous road, but it was only three or four kilometers."

Luo Yuan walked onto the bus thoughtfully. Zhao Yali put four coins in the unmanned ticket box, found a seat at the back and sat on it.

There were very few people in the car, only seven or eight people.

The driver looked a little irritated, looking at the phone from time to time, and then went out to make a call, but he was a little far away and could not hear clearly. About a minute later, he came back again, his eyes were bloodshot and his face was gloomy.

Luo Yuan noticed that there was a fire ax placed in the corner of the cab.

After waiting for another five or six minutes, two more worried young women got on the bus. They looked at the empty seats in the car, sat in front of Luo Yuan, chatted in a low voice for a few words, and then stopped talking.

After a while, a ringtone rang outside. The driver looked at his phone and seemed to want to make a call, but in the end he reluctantly put it down. He started the car and slowly drove out of the station.

Luo Yuan felt a little bored, so he opened the window.

At this time, the girl in front suddenly shouted hysterically: "Don't open the window!"

The driver stopped the car suddenly and turned around to curse in a dialect. Although Luo Yuan didn't know what he was talking about, he guessed that it was definitely not a good thing.

He quickly apologized with a smile and quickly closed the window. The driver cursed a few more times under his breath and continued to drive the car.

Luo Yuan was confused and turned to look at Zhao Yali: "What did he just say?"

Zhao Yali wrung her hands together, bit her lip, and said in a trembling voice: "He said it would attract rats, so we were told not to open the windows."

Luo Yuan's heart throbbed violently, and he looked forward through the window. A hazy mountain peak stood in the distance in front of him. The upper layer was covered with clouds and mist, and he couldn't see its general appearance. However, there were pits on the mountainside, revealing the rock formations inside. It's grayish-yellow, with thick green smoke rising in some places.

This was obviously not caused by burning, but more like being bombarded by artillery shells.

He recalled the previous rumors of armored vehicles entering the city. My mind suddenly froze. Couldn't the location of the bombardment be here

There seems to be a thread connecting Yushan, Rat Disaster, and armored vehicles. Yushan seems to be the source of the rat plague.
