The entire battle took only thirty seconds from contact to the opponent's collapse, but Luo Yuan was sweating profusely and his body was steaming with water, as if he had just been fished out of a sauna.
Luo Yuan seemed to knock it down easily, but this was just using his own strengths to attack its weaknesses. In fact, this giant was quite terrifying.
Whether it is its mysterious invisibility ability or the strange attacks in its eyes, it is completely different from ordinary mutant creatures. It is as if the mutant beast has the ability to evolve. Especially the invisibility ability can perfectly deceive Luo Yuan's perception. , this was the first time he encountered this situation.
You must know that the principles of discrimination between perception and the naked eye are completely different. Pure optical invisibility can deceive the eyes, but cannot hide it from perception, because perception is more similar to waves. However, this giant could not be found at all even if it was close to him before. , had it not been for the opponent's slight flaw under the pressure of momentum, I'm afraid this battle would have been over before it even started.
As for the strange attack in his eyes, although there was no contact, the feeling of approaching death still made him feel frightened when he thought about it now. It's like walking on the edge of life and death, and the danger can be imagined.
After the battle, everyone quickly ran over.
"Are you not injured?" Huang Jiahui asked with a worried look on her face, seeing Luo Yuan shaking his head.
She breathed a heavy sigh of relief: "I'm scared to death, how could such a creature exist!"
She looked at the giant's huge corpse with curiosity and fear: "Is this a mutant? So... so big!"
The corpse was lying on the ground, covering a full seven meters in length. Its limbs were thick and powerful, with a strong sense of power. Even after it was dead, it still exuded a terrifying aura. It was covered with green hair, and the hair on its head was The hair is a little sparse, with a short, thick dark green horn growing on it. The most eye-catching thing is a string of polished stone chains hanging on his chest.
This is obviously a sign of wisdom. I am afraid that except for mutants, no other mutant beast can do such a thing.
"No, I feel like it doesn't look alike!" Huo Dong hesitated and said, "No matter how mutated people mutate, they still have some human characteristics. Just like Chen Xianfeng, you can always tell what a person looks like. This and There are too many differences between people, I’m afraid they are mutant beasts.”
"It seems true!" Cao Lin did not dare to get close, but pointed at the opponent's hands and feet from a distance and said: "Look, it only has four fingers, each one has five joints, and the toes are the same."
Everyone soon found more evidence, such as its short tail with six nipples that had not yet degraded, and no obvious nose except for two holes.
The atmosphere suddenly cooled down, no one spoke anymore, shock and fear appeared on everyone's face.
"Are you going to see Zhao Yali?" At this time, Wang Xiuguang broke the silence and said to Luo Yuan.
Luo Yuan sighed, nodded, and ran over quickly.
Zhao Yali squatted next to Lao Huang's body, sobbing softly, touching its increasingly cold body, and her tears couldn't stop flowing out.
Lao Huang's body was already injured and he could barely hold on along the way. If it encountered a high-level creature, if it were an ordinary mutant beast, it would have already escaped and would not rush over recklessly. But its owner, Zhao Yali, was here, so it had no choice but to rush forward. It was knocked back by the terrifying light in the giant's eyes. , died without any resistance, and died silently.
"Are you... okay?" Luo Yuan walked to her and squatted down, hesitated, and asked softly. He knew that since the end of the world, Lao Huang, as a mutant beast, had always been her biggest support. With the loyal protection of this mutant beast, she could reach the present safely in the dangerous end of the world. It’s not an exaggeration to say relatives.
"Woo..." Zhao Yali finally broke down emotionally, hugged Luo Yuan, and cried hoarsely, tearing her liver and lungs, which was very moving.
Several women nearby also had red eyes and couldn't help but shed tears.
Luo Yuan touched the already stiff old Huang, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart. He sighed and said, "Let's take one last look at it. We'll bury it later!"
Zhou Yicheng seemed to want to say something, but looking at the expressions of other people around him, he finally kept his mouth shut.
The hole was naturally dug by the monitor lizard, which was dug directly into the sloping mountain wall next to it. This time, the monitor lizard did not escape at all, and actively used its claws to throw the mountain wall into a big hole. The death of Lao Huang seemed to have affected Due to its mood, it became exceptionally silent, and it showed no sign of impatience from beginning to end.
When Lao Huang was thrown into the pit and his body was buried in gravel, the monitor lizard lowered its head and sniffed at the grave, then raised its head and let out a huge roar, vaguely seeming to see off Lao Huang.
Zhao Yali cried so hard that Lao Huang's departure was a huge blow to her.
The tombstone is a whole piece of rough stone with one side cut off, and it is more than three meters high. After Luo Yuan asked Zhao Yali what she meant, he wrote: "The tomb of the loyal dog Lao Huang!"
After everything was over, the giant lizard did something shocking. It ran to the giant's body and started biting crazily. Soon the entire belly was torn open by it, and its internal organs flowed all over the floor. Then it started to eat big Eat internal organs.
The scene was bloody, and several children's faces turned pale and they did not dare to look any further.
Huang Jiahui pulled him because the creature was in human form, and she was afraid of giving the giant lizard the idea that it could eat humans. But Luo Yuan didn't stop him this time. Maybe something hurts its own kind. The death of Lao Huang greatly stimulated the giant lizard. Soon all the internal organs were removed by the giant lizard, and then it stopped.
Luo Yuan drove the bloody giant lizard aside, walked to the giant's head, and cut off the small horn on the top of his head with the light of his knife. This small dark green horn attracted special attention. Luo Yuan noticed it at a glance, and then he Goug out its eyes. These eyes can send out weird attacks and may have a special purpose. As for the other bones and flesh, Luo Yuan is not very interested.
It's not because there is a taboo against humanoid creatures. After living in the apocalypse for so long, I don't have these boring thoughts. As long as they are not human and not poisonous, they can be eaten. However, we still need to travel at this time. Carrying this flesh and blood along with the strong smell of blood is likely to cause unnecessary trouble.
The boulders had been broken up, and the passage became much easier. In less than half an hour, the giant lizard had cleared the highway into a path that could allow it to pass.
Everyone climbed onto the giant lizard and started on the road again.
The rain stopped unconsciously, and the moonlight filtered through the layers of dark clouds, bringing a glimmer of light into the darkness.
From time to time, traces of villages appeared around, with broken walls, broken glazed tiles, and decaying masonry. These were hidden in the dense forest, and appeared and disappeared as Luo Yuan and others passed quickly. As time goes by, there are more and more traces of buildings on both sides, the plants are gradually sparse, and shabby high-rise buildings are gradually appearing in front!
The water level here has risen very quickly. Some low buildings have been submerged by the water, and even large sections of the highway are covered with water.
"Have we reached the suburbs yet?" Huo Dong asked uncertainly, looking at the unrecognizable city full of water.
"It seems so. I've been here before." Wang Xiaguang looked at it carefully for a while before saying.
Luo Yuan stood up and looked into the distance. Except for some tall buildings that were still barely holding up, there was a vast white scene with floods everywhere. Is that military base still there? His face looked a little ugly.
Zhou Yicheng seemed to have guessed Luo Yuan's thoughts and asked the soldiers next to him to help him up: "This is close to the sea. The military base is not here, but in Baoshan District, the highest altitude. It won't be affected there for the time being. But we don't have much time. "With the current situation, I'm afraid they are ready to evacuate. We must get there as soon as possible."
Luo Yuan nodded solemnly in his heart.
He took Zhou Yicheng's map and looked at it carefully. This place is still thirty or forty kilometers away from Baoshan District. Fortunately, this is an urban area. Unlike the expressway, if it encounters collapse or road blockage, it has to stop, and it is here. Finally, due to the flood, the beast tide had long since disappeared. Although the road was difficult to walk, at least we should be able to reach our destination before dawn.
After getting off the highway, Luo Yuan found that the water level here had reached the monitor lizard's thighs, about three or four meters deep.
The vines on both sides of the street are growing luxuriantly. This may be their last hurray. As the sea level continues to rise, they will sink to the bottom of the sea along with the largest city in the East.
Apart from small insects the size of rice grains floating around on the water like smoke, there are very few other terrestrial creatures to be seen here. Most of the terrestrial creatures have already migrated to higher altitudes. With the excitement of the monitor lizards walking, The huge splashes of water they caused quickly dissipated as if frightened, and soon gathered again from another place.
As the giant lizard walked around the corner, Master Wang suddenly pulled Luo Yuan away: "Look there!"
Luo Yuan turned around and saw that it was a large tree hundreds of meters high with lush branches and leaves. Except for the roots of the tree sticking out of the water, there was nothing strange about it. However, after looking at it for a while, he was surprised to find that it was running for its life. .
This is a strange big tree, the entire tree roots were uprooted by it, and it staggers forward like feet.
Unfortunately, its movements are so slow that it almost takes several minutes before it even takes a single step. Moreover, there is no root system to fix it, causing its main trunk to keep swaying and it may fall down at any time. You don't know that it has gone. How long has it been, but at such a slow speed, there is no way to escape.
Everyone watched quietly, as the giant lizard gradually moved away and gradually disappeared from sight.
A thirty-story dilapidated building in the distance finally couldn't withstand the erosion of the sea water. It fell down with a bang, hitting the water and splashing tens of meters of water. The impact of the water flow seemed to cause a chain reaction. , a series of collapses occurred nearby.
This made Luo Yuan feel a little wary, and asked the giant lizard to move towards an area with few buildings as much as possible.
These buildings have long been corrupted from the foundation, and are crumbling to the last breath. At this time, even a strong wind, a slight vibration, or a small wave can easily destroy them.
There was a lot of garbage floating on the water. An empty plastic mineral water bottle kept spinning under the whirlpool of the water, and was then swept away by a wave. The salty sea breeze is filled with the smell of the sea, making people subconsciously feel like they are walking on the beach. Looking at the ruins in front of him, Luo Yuan felt as if civilization had been destroyed and the world had changed.
In fact, it is indeed the case!
Everyone was silent all the way, just quietly watching the last afterglow of this most prosperous city in China!
