Epoch of Twilight

Chapter 147: Genetic collapse

Views:

This fortification is exactly the same as the one encountered before.

But as soon as he walked inside, Luo Yuan became vigilant and waved his hands to ask everyone to stop. In fact, even if he didn't say anything, no one would dare to go in.

There are spider webs everywhere inside, and the corners and narrow areas are even denser with spider webs, a dense white mass. Among them are dozens of pupa-like objects tightly wrapped in spider webs, several of which are obviously human in shape.

Luo Yuan tried to step on the spider silk on the ground and found that the viscosity of these spider silk was extremely high. If he stepped on his feet, he would not be able to break free with the strength of ordinary people. This was just the feet. If even the body was stained, I am afraid that He couldn't even break free.

If he went in rashly, he might even be trapped inside, so he quickly exited the hall.

Immediately, the monitor lizard was summoned.

It has to be said that since it evolved, the monitor lizard has become much smarter. Even its skills include "watching words and expressions" that reflect intelligence. Coupled with occasional training, it can now roughly understand two-word commands.

Such as "breathing fire"

The giant lizard shook its head as if understanding. The next moment, its mouth opened wide, and a powerful burst of flames spurted out from its mouth, sweeping across the entire hall in an instant.

"Boom!" It was like an explosion. The entire fortification was shaken by the blast, and the flames even rushed from the hole of the gun as a tongue of flame more than two meters away.

In fact, the giant lizard is not a fire-attribute mutant like Lao Huang. What it spits out is not fire, but a gas stored in the body that ignites when it encounters air. A large amount of gas is poured into this relatively closed defense. The effects produced by the fortifications were completely unmatched by those in the wild. Even Luo Yuan did not expect this.

Next, the flames detonated the ammunition piled above, triggering a second explosion. Fortunately, there were not many ammunition piled on top, and the explosion intensity was not large. Otherwise, once the rockets that may be inside were detonated, the entire defense building would be destroyed. The fortifications will be overturned.

But even so, Luo Yuan was shocked.

"Wow!" Countless baby-like screams rang out loudly, making people's scalp numb. Almost at the same time, several mutated spiders wrapped in flames fled toward the door in a panic and were killed by the giant lizard. Both feet were trampled to death, and the only fish that slipped through the net was instantly cut in half by Luo Yuan.

A minute later, the noise suddenly stopped, and a large pit more than two meters deep appeared in the hall, with green smoke curling up and exuding high temperatures.

The original white spider webs had been burned away, and several piles of mutated beast and human bones were scattered on the ground. It was impossible to tell whose bones it was.

The surrounding area was scorched black. Several desks and doors were still burning. A smell of burnt protein emanated from inside. A dozen spiders that had not escaped were lying on the ground covered in charred black, their bodies almost being burned. They were roasted, but their strong vitality prevented them from dying for a while, and they kept struggling and twitching.

Originally, Luo Yuan wanted to understand them thoroughly, but as soon as his thoughts moved, he stopped.

Cao Lin is still dying. Aren't these mutated spiders the raw materials that provide vitality? It saved him a lot of energy.

Not only the first floor, but almost the entire fortification was burned to the ground. Luo Yuan carefully checked it up and down and found that the fire was too clean. Even all the supplies were burned to black. Fortunately, the basement had The iron door is closed, but it is well preserved.

Luo Yuan split open the basement with a knife, revealing a warehouse full of arms.

Boxes and boxes of machine gun shells were piled up in the warehouse. Just outside, Luo Yuan had seen hundreds of boxes. Counting the inside, Luo Yuan estimated that there were more than 300 boxes. Not only cannon shells, but also normal rifle bullets. Quite a few, about a dozen boxes, and dozens of boxes of grenades, grenades and hundreds of rockets of various types. In addition, there are seven machine guns and five cannons on one side of the weapons rack. A heavy sniper rifle, a dozen rifles, so many arms can almost start a small war.

At this time, other people came over cautiously, holding Master Cao Lin and Wang. Seeing the mountains of arms, they couldn't help but be stunned.

Ordinary people have never seen such a scene. Although they have seen an underground arsenal that is almost the same as this one before, the arsenal has long been emptied. Except for rockets, everything is empty. Unlike this time, almost the entire underground warehouse was filled.

"Fuck! How many things did those people in the camp take?" Lin Xiaoji cursed.

Huo Dong couldn't help it anymore. He walked to the weapons rack, picked up the heavy sniper rifle, and played with the rifle for a while. He said excitedly: "I don't think there are so many. It seems that the supplies have just been finished here. Otherwise, the entire warehouse wouldn’t be full, and everyone would have to evacuate without knowing what happened.”

Seeing that Huo Dong had passed by, several other men couldn't help it. They were picking and choosing in front of the weapon racks, with a strange excitement on their faces. In the apocalypse, people's need for force has reached a perverted level, and a gun can do it. It can make an ordinary person who is at the mercy of others instantly become awe-inspiring, which is a great temptation for everyone.

"Luo Yuan, will it be too late if you delay any longer?" Huang Jiahui reminded as she watched Cao Lin's expression getting worse and worse while lying on the ground.

After being delayed for so long, she was now as angry as a thread and her face was as pale as a dead person. If she was not treated immediately, she would probably die.

"Don't play now. There will be time later." Luo Yuan's heart tightened and he immediately said: "Everyone leave here and choose a room to tidy up. I want to treat Cao Lin immediately."

There are shells everywhere here, and even a spark may cause a violent explosion. It is too dangerous to stay here.

Luo Yuan picked up Cao Lin, walked out of the basement, kicked open a burned and deformed door on the second floor, and carefully placed her on the ground. Then he walked to the first floor and removed the body of the largest mutant spider. All the limbs were cut off and quickly carried back to the room.

Everyone stepped back. The image of the mutated spider was very terrifying. There was a ferocious black human face like a relief on its back. The facial features of the human face were distinct and lifelike. Even the sharp teeth biting in its mouth were clearly visible. The entire human face had its eyes closed and was wrinkled up, looking extremely painful.

At first, everyone thought it was a warning sign. Such a phenomenon was not uncommon in nature before the end of the world. But when Luo Yuan inserted a knife into its body, its teeth suddenly opened, revealing its interlocking teeth. At the same time, it let out a penetrating roar. A baby-like cry echoed in the room.

The blood-red eyes also opened, with resentment and pain in their eyes. Everyone's scalp felt numb and they were in a daze, as if they were in hell for a moment.

Luo Yuan snorted heavily, with a hint of will in his voice. Everyone was shocked and quickly came to their senses, looking at each other in shock.

Luo Yuan had seen this phenomenon once in the hall before, so he was not surprised. This spider was the largest among these spiders. Although its body was only the diameter of Mi Xu, its level was blue level.

Its ability is very special and makes people feel illusive. It is similar to the ghost locust that they encountered before. Unfortunately, it encountered a giant lizard with a ferocious and violent nature. It only took one breath and was blasted to the point of not being able to resist at all. It almost sucked.

However, there is no task prompt at all. The blue level is now unable to cause the system to react. While his strength is improving rapidly, it also means that it will be more difficult to upgrade in the future.

As soon as the blade was inserted into the mutated spider's body, a clearly detectable scorching energy came from the handle. This energy was much larger than the previous light blue tree, and the effect was more significant, even if Luo Yuan also felt refreshed and his physical fatigue was swept away.

He didn't dare to neglect and put the handle of the knife into Cao Lin's hand.

At first, her body didn't respond, but after a few minutes, a trace of life gradually appeared on her waxy face, and it turned slightly rosy.

Immediately afterwards, not only his face, but also his body began to turn redder and redder, his breathing became more and more rapid, and his hair that was soaked in sea water actually started to steam up, exuding a high temperature.

The blue level of life energy is too huge for ordinary people. Even if this mutated spider is dying, it is not something Cao Lin can bear.

Huang Jiahui touched her head and retracted her hand slightly, with a look of shock on her face. Her forehead was incredibly hot, with the temperature reaching forty or fifty degrees. She asked worriedly: "Is she going to be okay?"

Luo Yuan shook his head. He didn't know if there would be any problems if this continued. Logically speaking, all the energy absorbed was life energy, so everything should be fine. However, for the sake of caution, he interrupted the energy transmission.

Without the energy source, Cao Lin's body temperature gradually returned to normal, and her breathing quickly stabilized. Except that her face was still a little pale, it was much better than before.

At this time, Luo Yuan looked at the mutated spider. After the torment just now, the mutated spider was completely dead. However, what caught his attention was not the mutated spider, but the wound caused by the insertion of the saber on its body.

At this time, a large amount of disgusting yellow-red pus appeared in the wound, and the carapace near the wound also showed signs of corrosion, completely losing its original luster.

Luo Yuan was a little curious. Knocked with the back of the knife, something important seemed to have been lost. The originally hard carapace now became extremely fragile. With just a little force, a hole was made.

He continued to knock a few more times, and the hole quickly expanded, revealing the rotten flesh and blood inside. He reached into it with a wooden stick and stirred it, and found that all the flesh and blood had lost its toughness. After just stirring for a while, it turned into one. Signs of pus and blood.

He suddenly thought of a word: "Gene collapse!"

This was the first time Luo Yuan saw this phenomenon. The previous giant tree was huge and had dense roots underground, which could continuously replenish energy. Even if it took several days, it did not exhaust all its life energy. , when he left, only the leaves turned yellow, but there was no genetic collapse.
