"There is an arsenal underground!" Luo Yuan looked at it for a while, and Huo Dong and others ran over and said, "But most of the supplies have been evacuated, and even seven of the machine guns arranged in the gun holes were taken away. !”
Luo Yuan followed him into the basement. The entire kilometer-long underground arsenal seemed empty. Except for dozens of huge rockets neatly placed in the corners, there was not even a box of bullets left.
"Who do you think moved it?" Luo Yuan asked.
"They shouldn't be the soldiers here. If they wanted to move away, the armored vehicles outside wouldn't be kept. They would have driven away together. The only survivors may be survivors living nearby." Huo Dong said excitedly.
There was some joy on everyone's faces.
"So, there are still survivors here?" Luo Yuan said in surprise.
Along the way, everything was deserted. The only green plants that came into view were mutant beasts. Not even a single person was seen. Loneliness and despair lingered in everyone's hearts, making people feel that humans have become extinct in this area. Illusion. Now that they heard this judgment, everyone seemed to be relieved.
"It should be nearby!" Huo Dong said: "This place is close to the sea, the ground is saline-alkali land, and there are many fewer plants than outside. We should be safer than other places."
"But they are so disgusting. Nothing is left. Even the bed quilts and towels were removed." Wang Shishi pouted, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
Luo Yuan frowned slightly. They were almost destitute now. All the supplies were gone. They originally wanted to add a little here, but they didn't expect that there was nothing left here.
"Have you found any salt?" Luo Yuan asked.
Salt is not only a seasoning, but also a substance that the human body must consume. If salt is not consumed for a long time, the sodium content of the human body will be too low, resulting in loss of appetite, weakness in limbs, decreased resistance, and even dizziness.
They have not eaten salt for five days. Although they have to drink a few mouthfuls of mutated beast blood every day, the salt in the blood cannot replace table salt. Even Luo Yuan has been feeling particularly tired recently. If he can't find it again, I'm afraid Even he couldn't hold on.
"No, I've searched everywhere!" Huang Jiahui shook her head: "If I had known earlier, I should have searched at the outpost on the road."
"Before, I just hurried on, and no one paid attention. After all, it was just salt. I didn't expect it to be so difficult to find a bag of salt now. I'll go to the base opposite to see if there is any?" Luo Yuan sighed. , said.
Luo Yuan walked out of the door as he spoke. Within a few minutes, he came back and the same thing happened there. Everything had been emptied.
Huang Jiahui sighed and said: "I have endured it for so many days, and I don't care if I endure it for one more day. I think the nearby outposts have also been searched. Let's search again tomorrow!"
"That's all we have to do. Fortunately, there is sea water everywhere here. If it doesn't work, we might as well get some sea water and boil salt." Luo Yuan shook his head.
It was not completely dark yet, and everyone had already finished their dinner early. However, because there was no salt, everyone had no appetite, so they just ate a few hasty bites and then ended it. Afterwards, he chose a room that was closed on all sides, cleaned the dust on the floor, spread a few bed boards on the ground, and slept in his clothes.
Although the conditions here are still very simple, the bed is made of several wooden boards, and there is no quilt at all, but compared with the damp, cold, and scary tree holes in the forest, this square room is particularly valuable. .
Nothing happened all night.
This night, everyone had a rare sleep.
The weather was still gloomy the next day, and the eruption of nearby volcanoes continued to affect the weather conditions in this area. I'm afraid there won't be sunny days for a long time.
Early in the morning, Luo Yuan sat at the door, looking at the war saber carefully, and from time to time he gently wiped the non-existent dust with a cloth strip.
After a long period of baptism of will, the knife was imprinted with his will, and had a vague connection with him, as if connected by blood. When held in his hand, it even gave the illusion that it was an extension of his arm.
It sounds a little mysterious, but in fact, this phenomenon is very common. Everything becomes easier and easier to use. Many experienced technicians have their own unique set of tools. Unless they are forced to use them, or they cannot be used at all, they can easily I won't replace it, because even if I replace it with an identical one, it will be very uncomfortable to use. Long-term use has left the tool with its own unique will imprint. Although the intensity of this imprint is far incomparable to that of the Zhanma Sword at this time, and cannot even be felt, it still exists.
After ten minutes, Luo Yuan inserted the knife into the scabbard and stood up. After thinking for so long, everyone should have packed their luggage and are ready to go.
Just as he was about to move forward, he suddenly heard a faint voice in the distance. He was startled and looked in the direction of the sound.
On the beach under the cross-sea bridge, seven men were walking cautiously, whispering something from time to time, but because they were too far away, he couldn't hear clearly.
They had a variety of weapons in their hands, both cold weapons and hot weapons. They looked like they were hunting. The five men in front kept poking at the mud with their spears. The two men holding rifles looked around frequently. Even several kilometers away, Luo Yuan could still feel the tense atmosphere.
Their luck was obviously good. A few minutes later, there was a violent stir in the mud in front of them. A man who poked it was knocked away by its tail, but he quickly stood up again, vomiting blood from his mouth, and rolled around. Climb back.
The gunfire rang out quickly, and the two men behind pulled the trigger. The bullets hit the mud. The mutated creature inside was obviously hit. It stirred fiercely, and the black mud gradually became stained with a hint of red. .
They obviously didn't have many bullets, or they were more economical. The gunshots stopped after a few seconds.
Other men stepped in and stabbed the violently churning mud with their spears. From time to time, someone was blown away and rolled into a ball in the mud.
These people were extremely crazy, rushing forward and attacking continuously with spears. Soon, the mutant beast hiding in the mud became weaker and weaker.
After a few minutes, there was no movement at all in the mud. A few people boldly dug through the mud with their hands, revealing a mutated creature that looked like a loach more than four meters long.
One of them thrust a spear into its body and stabbed it through. There was no mercy here. Several people carried the body and walked back staggeringly, and soon disappeared into the sparse woods.
Huang Jiahui walked over and saw Luo Yuan looking down, so she asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"
"I just saw someone down there. There seemed to be quite a lot of people." Luo Yuan said.
Huang Jiahui couldn't believe it and said in surprise: "There are still people down there? The tide will rise here in a while. Why do they live here?"
"This is a tidal flat, and the tide has just gone out not long ago. Living here is naturally much safer than living outside." Luo Yuan looked at the plants here that were obviously much less than other places and said calmly: "You guys wait a minute. "I'm going to find out about the situation here. If we can walk here, we can go directly through the tidal flat. If not, we can at least get some salt."
"Should we call a few more people? If they are the ones holding the weapons here, there should be a lot of weapons there. Although I don't believe that human nature is ugly in the last days, we must always be on guard." Huang Jiahui said worriedly. After so many experiences, , has made her gradually understand this hellish world, and she is no longer as innocent as before.
With the collapse of order, everyone began to become unscrupulous, and the cruel pressure to survive caused many people to lose their humanity.
"There are too many people, but it is troublesome. Don't worry, I will come as soon as I go." Luo Yuandao, with his current strength, as long as the bullets are not fired intensively, he will not be able to hit him. Even if he is hit occasionally, with the obstruction of his clothes, in the end it will be just Even if you are slightly injured, you can escape anyway. If there are too many people, it will get in the way and easily arouse the hostility of the other party.
Huang Jiahui knew Luo Yuan's character well and knew that it would be useless if she said too much, so she could only say: "Then be careful!"
Luo Yuan nodded, jumped onto the guardrail, and then jumped directly from the bridge more than ten meters high. While in the air, his body paused slightly. Under the influence of his will, he was like an immortal descending from the dust. Slowly falling from the bridge, the next moment, he was already stepping on the mud.
Huang Jiahui looked relaxed and shaken, her eyes shining. It wasn't until Luo Yuan turned around and waved to her that she slowly came back to her senses.
…
The road here is quite difficult to walk. The ground is not only full of soft silt, but also full of potholes. Every step is muddy, and there are puddles everywhere. After a while, Luo Yuan's shoes and trousers were covered with silt. Yuan shook the heavy soles to shake off the mud.
Luo Yuan kicked deep and then lightly, and after more than ten minutes, he finally reached the spot where the crowd was hunting. A series of long footprints were left on the ground, extending deep into the woods, but there was no fear of not being able to find the ground.
Not only are the plants here sparse, but they are also very low, with an average height of only three meters. It is more like a bush than a forest. Of course, this is based on today's standards.
Luo Yuan walked along the footprints for nearly half an hour, and a small village appeared in front of him.
All the trees with a radius of hundreds of meters have been cut down, and they look bare. Dozens of tents of different sizes and colors are placed in the middle. What's surprising to Luo Yuan is that there are people coming and going here. It seems quite... It was so lively, these people's clothes were in tatters, but their faces were covered with colorful paint, and they couldn't even tell their faces clearly.
These paints obviously have unique effects, otherwise no one would apply these pungent smelling things on their bodies. Even from a distance, Luo Yuan could feel the pungent and unpleasant smell.
What moved Luo Yuan even more was that there was a powerful aura here.
Luo Yuan continued to approach, and soon found a huge creature in the corner of the village: "Dark blue-level creature, I didn't expect there is a dark blue-level creature here."
This is a fiery red creature like a lion, but it is much larger and more powerful than a lion. Even if it is lying down, it is more than three meters tall. Its fiery red fluffy hair undulates gently in the breeze. Like a flame burning.
Its senses were extremely keen. Before Luo Yuan could take a few steps, its ears turned. It suddenly opened its eyes, stood up slowly, and looked straight at Luo Yuan with its blue eyes.
Luo Yuan's face was solemn, his hand slowly pressed the handle of the knife, and at the same time, his body slowly retreated.
He didn't want to cause a fight. This creature was obviously tamed by the people here. Whether it was killed or injured, it would be a devastating disaster for this small village.
However, this mutated beast did not attack immediately. A trace of doubt seemed to flash in its eyes. It stared at Luo Yuan for a long time without making any move.
Suddenly its tail wagged happily, and the hostility in its eyes disappeared.
Under Luo Yuan's vigilant gaze, it moved and walked towards a nearby tent. After a few steps, it stopped at the door of the tent. It lowered its huge head slightly and penetrated directly into the tent. At the same time, it made a dull sound in its mouth. Whining, it didn't take long for a woman with her face covered in paint to follow the terrifying mutant beast.
