The night is like water!
Beside the sea-crossing bridge, the sea breeze was blowing, bringing with it a hint of moisture.
There was a "swishing" sound of water in the distance. It was vague before, but now it is a bit noisy. It seems that there is a huge tide rushing towards this direction with amazing momentum, and even the sky seems to be full of noise. It started to rain lightly.
Luo Yuan touched his face and felt a little damp.
A few minutes later, he vaguely saw a huge shadow, which came along the Haihe River at an extremely alarming speed, stirring up waves tens of meters high.
The shallow Haihe River is far from being able to submerge its body. Its limbs, which are as huge as stone piers, are churning violently in the seawater. As it advances at high speed, the Haihe River, which is several kilometers wide, undulates with waves. The seawater rushed violently to both sides.
It wasn't until it approached the sea across the sea that Luo Yuan could really see its figure.
Unlike the giant lizard, its mutation was not serious. Luo Yuan could see its prototype at a glance. This was undoubtedly a mutated turtle, but it was quite huge, with a diameter of thirty or forty meters. It was as big as In comparison, the monitor lizard looks like an inconspicuous little thing.
The dark gray turtle shell is covered with rough obtuse angles, which emit a faint fluorescence in the dark. Compared with ordinary turtles, its neck appears longer and thicker, its head looks somewhat deformed, its mouth is wide, and there are horns on it. It was densely covered with teeth and looked extremely ferocious. Compared to this docile turtle, this was obviously a terrifying beast.
Luo Yuan held his breath, just glanced at it, and then quickly retracted his gaze with an ugly look on his face. Even though the creature was still far away, he could still feel the heavy and oppressive aura. He looked back at the position of the giant lizard hundreds of meters away.
It had shrunk in the corner, and as if it was an illusion, he could vaguely feel the giant lizard trembling slightly.
At this time, there was a loud "boom" not far away.
The cross-sea bridge shook violently, and the steel cables as thick as an adult's arm were twisted under the terrifying force, groaning under the load. Then the steel cables broke one after another, carrying terrifying kinetic energy, and streaked across the silent night sky at high speed. , making a blood-curdling scream, and in the next moment, more than a dozen sections of the bridge collapsed like dominoes.
Luo Yuan was shocked, and ignored the violent shaking of the bridge. He grabbed the violent guardrail and looked down quickly. A thick bridge pier was regarded as an inconspicuous obstacle in the progress of the giant beast, and it hit it effortlessly. Fall, fall apart.
His face was horrified. The piers of this kind of cross-sea bridge are extremely strong. If you want to knock it down, ordinary ships are completely powerless. Unless you use a giant ship with tens of thousands of tons and then hit it at high speed, you can't knock it down.
He thought it was a light green creature before, but now he is a little unsure.
Luo Yuan has far less understanding of marine life and has no idea about its situation. However, it is certain that marine life is far stronger than land life, and the competition is more fierce.
In the land of China before the end of the world, except for some special protected areas and virgin forests, there were basically very few large creatures. Not to mention cities, even in rural areas. In the 1970s and 1980s, there were still traces of medium and large creatures such as wolves and wild boars in the mountains, but Before the end of the world, they had long since disappeared without a trace, and even the rabbits were hard to see.
Only domestic animals and pets can survive in this country on the tip of the tongue, but in the last days they were massacred before they could mutate. Most of today's large creatures are descended from small creatures through mutation. Even so, humans are losing ground, let alone those originally huge marine creatures.
After the giant turtle crossed the sea-crossing bridge, it still didn't stop and continued moving forward.
A few minutes later, when it gradually disappeared from sight, Luo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it left, otherwise, he would have had to evacuate overnight.
He touched his forehead, and unknowingly it was covered with sweat. His body seemed to be exhausted and weak. There was a hint of bitterness on his face. Let alone fighting, such a creature would be useless even if he stood near it. It was a torment, and he didn't know how the other people in the fortifications hundreds of meters away would react. I'm afraid it wouldn't be much better than what he was doing now.
However, he had some doubts in his heart. The most suitable environment for marine life is naturally the ocean. What is this giant beast doing here
Of course, during the flood season, this was also the sea, but now most of the area is tidal flats. Even the largest sea river here cannot accommodate such a huge creature.
And from an evolutionary perspective, the first creatures in the ocean to land on land were all losers in brutal competition. However, with its strength, it should not be a weakling in the ocean, and it is not at all capable of wandering to land. situation.
The strong doubts made him have the urge to go over and take a look.
He looked at the time and saw that it was not yet one o'clock in the morning. He hesitated for a while and felt that it would not be dangerous to follow him from a distance, so he quickly ran towards the shore.
The two sides of the cross-sea bridge are almost turned into woods, but because this is a salt-alkali land, they are a bit sparse. Insects as big as fists, like fireflies, are flying in the woods, and there are some luminous insects in the distance. Plants make the place colorful and colorful.
Luo Yuan ran at high speed in the woods, rising and falling like a rabbit and a falcon from time to time, as nimble as a monkey in the jungle, and the woods on both sides receded.
Half an hour later he climbed up the tree and looked into the distance.
…
In the sky covered with dark clouds, a vague full moon rarely appeared.
It is less than three kilometers away from the giant turtle. It has now left the Haihe River and climbed onto the beach in the cold night. The surroundings are silent. All creatures are trying their best to hide themselves under this depressing atmosphere, even at night. The chirping of insects was also frightened to silence.
Luo Yuan held his breath, his body as motionless as a rock.
The giant turtle stopped when it walked onto a high ground. Its huge and ferocious head looked around in a circle, seeming to be wary of something. When its cold eyes swept towards Luo Yuan, it moved slightly. There was a pause.
Staring coldly at the torch-like eyes in the darkness, Luo Yuan felt his scalp explode, his heart skipped a beat, and he almost turned around and ran away.
Fortunately, it quickly turned its attention away and continued to look elsewhere.
Luo Yuan's chest rose and fell violently, trying his best to control the fear in his heart.
At that moment, he clearly felt that he had been discovered by it. His method of hiding his aura was invisible to this creature, but it didn't seem to care about his existence. Maybe to it, he was afraid Just an inconspicuous little bug.
Just when Luo Yuan didn't know whether to leave or stay here, the giant turtle began to move its limbs. It was like a super excavator. It quickly dug out a hole on the ground that was more than forty or fifty meters wide and unknown how deep. deep pit, and after a few minutes, it stopped.
The body lay on it, motionless, and the tail was pressed tightly into the hole.
Could it be...
Luo Yuan's heart moved. Sure enough, his guess was quickly verified. The giant turtle snorted, with a hint of pain in its voice. After a long time, it slowly stood up and continued to move its limbs, driving a large number of people. The silt deeply buried the potholes.
After doing all this, it did not leave immediately. It continued to glance around, this time more carefully. It looked over and over for several minutes, and then, under Luo Yuan's frightened gaze, it slowly looked around. Walking slowly towards Haihe, it looked very weak and its body was swaying a little.
If it were an ordinary light green-level creature, this might be the best opportunity, but facing this marine creature whose level was difficult to determine, he couldn't even think of it.
It walked into the Haihe River, and quickly disappeared in the direction it came from under the dim moonlight.
Luo Yuan continued to hide in the tree without moving. After half an hour, until there was no more sound from the distance, he jumped off the tree and ran quickly towards the shore.
A few minutes later, he walked to the high ground. Even though the giant turtle had left far away, its breath still remained here, but this breath was nothing to Luo Yuan's 15 points of will.
This pothole was as big as three basketball courts, and he didn't even know where it was. Luo Yuan stood on the ground and sensed it, and felt happy. It came here far away from the ocean, and it was indeed here to lay eggs.
The only pity is that there is only one, but it is normal if you think about it. In nature, the more powerful the creature is, the more difficult it is to reproduce, and the weaker the creature, the less restricted it is to reproduce. Like sea turtles before the end of the world, one nest contains hundreds of eggs, and the entire ocean may be occupied by them.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the right tools. A knife was fine for killing people, but digging a hole was not good, so he had to use his hands.
He stuck the knife on the edge, stood in the middle of the mud, and began to dig the hole with his hands.
This place is full of soft mud, and it is not difficult to dig. Moreover, because the giant turtle came just now, the mutated creatures in the mud fled this place one after another due to this terrifying aura. Some who had no time to escape were also impacted by the giant turtle's aura. He has been in a state of immobility for a long time and has not recovered yet. There is no danger at all.
But the thing inside is too deep, almost 20 meters deep. If you want to dig it out, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep today, Luo Yuan said secretly, but he obviously overestimated his ability to dig holes.
Digging a hole more than 20 meters deep, especially in this kind of soft tidal flat, is obviously impossible to dig vertically, otherwise it will be buried. Moreover, the egg is more than two meters high, and the surface seems to be covered with packages. Covered with a thick layer of transparent material, the entire body exceeds five meters. If the hole is dug too small, it will not only collapse, but also cannot be taken out at all.
There is no room for trickery. The only way to dig is according to the size of the hole dug by the giant turtle. This is undoubtedly a huge project.
Luo Yuan only dug for half an hour, and he became a little frustrated. Looking at the hole that was more than one meter wide and half a meter deep, he smiled bitterly in his heart. If he continued at this pace, he might not be able to finish it even after digging for three days and three nights without sleep. If it rains in the middle, you have to start over again.
At this time, he looked stunned!
I'm really confused. Why dig it by myself? There are monitor lizards. Although it's not as good as the giant tortoise, it probably won't take long for the monitor lizards.
