In the apocalypse, people are inherently alert. In order to cope with the crisis that comes at any time, most of them lie down with their clothes on, and most of them even keep their weapons nearby so that they can go into battle. Normally, even if there was any disturbance, he would often wake up inexplicably, let alone being yelled by Luo Yuan like this.
Even in their deep sleep, everyone jumped up quickly as if they were on fire. Their drowsiness was gone. Everyone picked up their weapons and rushed out of the tent.
"Brother Luo, what happened?" Master Wang asked in a panic.
"We'll wait until we're on the road!" Luo Yuan said quickly, and walked anxiously for a few steps. Feeling the growing sense of crisis, seeing a few people still packing their tents, he quickly said loudly: "There's not enough time. Give up everything except your weapons and leave!”
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts and had a bad feeling.
Several people put down their things reluctantly and ran out of the post in a hurry.
At this time, the monitor lizard and Lao Huang were already spinning in circles. The beasts were not as intelligent as humans, but their instincts for danger were far sharper than humans. They had obviously sensed the coming danger.
After Luo Yuan let the giant lizard lie down, he picked up Chen Jiayi and jumped on the giant lizard's back, and then quickly pulled everyone up one by one.
Luo Yuan gave the order, and the giant lizard couldn't wait to run. It seemed that an invisible crisis was approaching in the darkness. It was getting faster and faster, and the wind mixed with raindrops blew and fell on his body. It makes the skin feel sore.
"Hold on, don't be left behind!" Luo Yuan shouted, and then pulled the unconscious Zhou Yicheng to his side. He gently held it with one hand, and it seemed as if he was being suppressed by a huge force. Zhou Yicheng's body suddenly stopped moving.
But even if Luo Yuan didn't say anything, everyone was already lying on the ground, holding the rattan blanket on their backs tightly with their hands. After the number of people was reduced by four, the giant lizard's back was obviously much more spacious, but it could not make everyone's whole body Lying on it, you can only lower your body to the ground as much as possible to reduce the resistance of the wind, but you still feel like you are being thrown away at any time.
The monitor lizard is not a natural riding creature. When it walks, it is fine and has little ups and downs. Once it runs, it is like a roller coaster. Coupled with the oncoming wind, not to mention a few children and She was a woman, and even the soldiers who were used to seeing blood and didn't frown even if they died, turned pale.
Counting this time, it was only their third ride, and they were not very used to this primitive means of transportation. They could barely hold on because of jogging before, but now that they were going fast, they felt like their stomachs were churning, and it seemed that their hearts were in trouble. They will all be shaken out.
Their bodies were tense and their faces looked ugly, as if they were going to vomit at any moment. As the giant lizard rises and falls violently, it doesn't even dare to take a breath. It's no joke if it accidentally falls from a height of more than six meters during high-speed movement. Even if it doesn't die, it is very likely to be disabled.
The only one who was motionless at this time was Luo Yuan. He was sitting on his back as if sitting on the ground, holding Chen Jiayi in one hand and holding down Zhou Yicheng with the other, without any help from his hands. But no matter how bumpy and bumpy it was, he seemed to be clinging to it, motionless. Only Chen Jiayi, who was held in Luo Yuan's arms, could feel that the muscles on the other person's body were like a big three-dimensional net, sometimes tight and sometimes loose. , it changes several times every second.
The strong wind blew his hair wildly, and he looked into the darkness behind him, his face as dark as water.
Chen Jiayi looked at Luo Yuan for a long time, feeling the warmth on her back. This uncle who had scared her before gave him an unprecedented sense of security.
…
An accident almost happened during this period. An injured soldier couldn't hold on any longer. His hands softened and he could no longer hold on to the rattan blanket. He immediately flew away. If not for Luo Yuan's quick eyesight and quick hands, he rushed over and caught him in time. If you catch it, you may die.
In the current situation, Luo Yuan would have no choice but to give up if he fell. He couldn't put everyone in danger for one person.
Time flew by, and in less than ten minutes, Luo Yuan felt a slight vibration, and there seemed to be a vague buzzing sound in the air. Although the sound was light, it had a grand feeling, as if there were countless noisy sounds converging in it. Together.
There seemed to be countless running mutant beasts in the darkness behind them, rushing in like a tide, about to engulf everyone.
Fifteen minutes later, the earthquake became stronger and stronger, and even ordinary people felt it, and their faces quickly turned pale.
During this period, the giant lizard couldn't help but want to speed up several times, but under Luo Yuan's suppression, it had to maintain its original speed.
The agility of the monitor lizard is slightly higher than that of Luo Yuan. At fifteen points of agility, coupled with its huge size, if it explodes completely, it will be like a high-speed train. As long as the road is flat and in a straight line, it can sprint for short distances. Reaching speeds of three to four hundred kilometers per hour.
Even if you run long distances, you can still reach a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour, and you can completely escape the danger of the beast wave!
But with the impact and turbulence of the air caused by this speed, except for Luo Yuan, who could barely sit still, the others were simply thrown off. Moreover, even Lao Huang, who had not yet recovered, would be thrown away, so no matter how anxious Luo Yuan was, he had to work hard to be patient.
At this moment, time is precious in everyone's hearts, and it has never been more precious than in the future. Everyone is tensed up to welcome the coming impact.
Not long after, there was a loud noise in the distance, accompanied by the sound of concrete collapsing. The distance where the sound was heard was only one or two kilometers away.
"The highway collapsed!" A thought flashed through everyone's mind. After all, except for the highway, there are no other concrete buildings here.
"Be careful!" Luo Yuan said suddenly. In the darkness, his eyes seemed to emit weak fluorescence like a cat's movements. His strong physique and naturally evolved low-light vision allowed him to clearly see far away. Seeing the scene here, he slowly took out a short spear as thick as an arm from the cloth pocket behind him, then handed Chen Jiayi and Zhou Yicheng to Huo Dong and Lin Xiaoji to take care of them, and then directly took it from the back of the giant lizard. stood up.
Everyone's hearts trembled, the unknown danger made their scalps numb, and their eyes subconsciously looked into the darkness. Unfortunately, the sky was as dark as ink at this time. Except for Lin Xiaoji, everyone could no longer see except for the few meters in front of them. When it was clear, one could only faintly hear the thin and brisk sound, approaching quickly from a distance.
"Click!" "Click!"
This is a weird insect, about the size of a small passenger car. Its back is grassy green and seems to be covered with layers of scales. Its two pairs of small wings that are extremely out of proportion to its size flap from time to time at a high frequency as it jumps. The abdomen was as black as ink, but there was a smooth crack in the middle. Because it was too dark, Luo Yuan couldn't see clearly what was inside, but it didn't look like it was any decoration.
It is huge in size, but moves quite lightly. The two incredibly strong hind legs give it extremely powerful jumping power. Coupled with the assistance of its two wings, it can jump dozens of meters high and more than a hundred meters with just one leap.
At the current speed of the monitor lizard, it would be overtaken in less than ten seconds.
What troubled Luo Yuan the most was that there was not just one such insect, but more than twenty.
Most of them are distributed under the highway, and there are only six of them on the road. However, Luo Yuan cannot guarantee that once one of them is attacked, other mutant insects will join the fight.
There was a slight sweat on his forehead, his heart was beating violently, and the nervousness mixed with excitement made his blood boil!
Close, getting closer!
The mutated insect obviously didn't care about the people who were fleeing, and passed quickly through the air. Everyone felt a strong wind blowing, and it landed lightly on the ground dozens of meters in front of the giant lizard. The next moment, it bounced again , after a few times, it completely disappeared from sight.
Next, the second one, the third one...
Luo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but soon his heart became excited again.
The fourth insect caught Luo Yuan's attention. There was an obvious pause between its jumps. It did not move non-stop like before. It seemed to be hesitating and judging.
Although it didn't take long for it to get back on the road, the distance it jumped obviously changed. Sometimes it was longer, sometimes it was shorter. It seemed to be constantly adjusting the distance of its jump. After a few times, it paused again, and then Jump into the air suddenly and forcefully.
Luo Yuan looked up at the sky. At this time, the insect had jumped to the highest point. With the high-speed flapping of its wings, it began to accelerate and dive. This was an action that no insect had ever done before. This was an obvious hunting signal. At this time, its target had already been reached. Clearly, he quickly estimated where the insect would land. He felt cold in his heart and looked behind him at Old Huang, who was already showing signs of exhaustion.
The long journey and the fatigue of the journey gave this insect a desire to eat, and it obviously targeted Lao Huang, who was still injured.
Under the influence of gravity, the insect's speed becomes faster and faster, like a huge missile falling from the sky.
Lao Huang just felt the crisis, and when he looked up, it was already too late. The insect was like a steel sickle's limbs, all stretched out. It could not be felt when it was curled up before, but once it opened, it was like a giant net, covering nearly ten thousand people. Within a range of seven to eight meters, its sharp top exudes the cold light of death.
Before it even got close, the elongated slit on the abdomen suddenly opened, revealing two rows of tight black fangs, which turned out to be the mouthparts of this insect. If it jumps on the back, not only the flesh and blood on the body will be torn apart, but also the spine will be bitten off.
The insect's attack was so sudden and its movements were so fast and light that Lao Huang couldn't react at all for a while.
At the critical moment, Luo Yuan suddenly moved.
He took a step forward slowly with his left foot, as if he was moving slowly. The spine on his back rolled like a python. His right foot sank with force. Green veins appeared in the right hand holding the short spear, like the roots of an old tree, and his whole body seemed to have swelled. Circle, the next moment, he twisted his waist and stepped forward, swung his right hand like lightning, and a short spear pierced the air and disappeared from sight.
Everyone only felt their eardrums stinging and buzzing, and could not see what was happening at all. The only thing they could do was secretly pray that the unknown danger had been eliminated by Luo Yuan.
Compared with the first throw, Luo Yuan's strength has improved to a higher level, and the power is even more terrifying. The huge recoil caused even the giant lizard to stagger.
With such a large target, coupled with the nine-point throwing skill, there is almost no chance of missing. In just an instant, the short spear crossed the space at supersonic speed and violently collided with the insect. The next moment, it flew sideways for more than ten meters and hit the road heavily.
And this short spear made of blue material was immediately struck by the terrifying impact, shattered into pieces, like an explosion, and the huge momentum generated actually directly exploded a half-meter-diameter ball out of the opponent's body. Wound.
The giant insect struggled hard to stand up, but after taking a few staggering steps, it fell to the ground again. After struggling several times, it finally screamed miserably and could no longer stand up.
The wound caused by the short spear was nothing at all for its huge size. It was not the wound that was fatal, but the internal injuries caused by the high-speed impact. At this time, its internal organs near the wound were shattered and almost turned into flesh. No matter how strong the mutant insect was, it could not be saved.
