Chapter 185: arrival

Because there was no danger along the way, Luo Yuan felt a little relaxed.

He took out the things dug out from the giant's body from his pocket, a small dark green horn, and two elastic eyeballs as big as eggs.

The surface of the small horn is smooth, warm and translucent. Holding it in your hand seems like holding a warm jade. You can tell it is extraordinary at a glance.

He used an identification technique:

"The Green Hermit's Pointed Corner"

"Rarity: light green."

"Weight: 500g."

"Additional abilities: 1. Absorb various energy waves; 2. Construct visual illusions."

"Evaluation: The Green Hidden Man is a low-level intelligent creature. It is a killer in the darkness. It has always been mysterious and unknown to outsiders. It can disappear under any circumstances. No matter it is ultrasound or the naked eye, it cannot be seen. All its abilities come from its little horn."

"So that's it!" Luo Yuan thought to himself. No wonder, the senses can't sense this giant no matter what. It turns out to be the reason of this small horn. My own perception is probably a kind of wave, maybe brain waves, so naturally I can't sense him.

The little horn is held in the hand. It can be clearly seen with the eyes, but it is empty in perception, which is extremely contradictory. Moreover, the scope of its influence is not just itself. Through the contact of the hand, it wraps Luo Yuan's entire body, forming an area of nothingness in the perception.

This was invisibility in another sense, but he didn't have much of a clue on how to construct a visual illusion, and he had to continue to figure it out.

But even so, there was some joy on Luo Yuan's face.

He is not the only one who has perception, everyone or mutant beasts have certain perceptions, it's just a matter of strength or weakness. Being able to block other people's perception will make it even more powerful whether it is assassination or concealment. Moreover, not all mutant creatures can be observed with the naked eye, and some rely on sound waves, such as bats! If you encounter such a creature next time, with the ability to hide, you will already have an absolute advantage before fighting.

Then, he examined the eyeballs again.

"The eyeballs of the Green Hidden Man;"

"Purpose: food;"

"Rarity: light green level;"

"Weight: 100g;"

"Effects: 1. A little enhancement of human vision; 2. There is a certain chance that the eyes will undergo strange evolution;"

"Evaluation: This is the eyeball of the Green Hidden Man. Through it, the Green Hidden Man can shoot a death beam that annihilates the soul. It is also a special medicine. After eating it, it can greatly increase your vision and give you a certain chance of obtaining strange powers. evolution."

These two things have powerful effects and are worth far more than ordinary light green creatures.

But Luo Yuan was always a little depressed in his heart, and the words "low-level intelligent creatures" kept lingering in his heart like a lump in his throat.

This is definitely not good news. The emergence of intelligent creatures, even if they are only low-level at present, will undoubtedly make humanity's already shaky situation worse.

His face was solemn, he looked at the two eyeballs, took out one and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed hard, and the eyeball burst, revealing a ball of liquid with an indescribable taste. He chewed it a few times and then swallowed. Enter the throat, and so it is the second one.

Chen Jiayi, who had been paying attention to Luo Yuan, watched Luo Yuan put the two big eyeballs into his mouth in an understatement, chewing them as if nothing had happened. She was dumbfounded, and then her stomach turned upside down, and she quickly turned her head and did not dare to look again.

Naturally, Luo Yuan didn't care what a little girl thought. After eating two eyeballs, he waited quietly for five minutes before something strange appeared in his eyes.

At first, a stream of warmth entered his eyes, and then his eyes became sore and itchy, as if there were countless ants gnawing on them. His vision began to blur, and the scene in front of him gradually appeared as a double image.

After fifteen minutes, the speed of the warm current entering the eyes reached its peak, and the eyes began to sting strongly, as if there were flames burning inside. If it were an ordinary person at this time, I would have been worried that the eyes would be destroyed. Filled with fear.

But Luo Yuan was unmoved at all. He simply closed his eyes and let his eyes change.

Finally, half an hour later, all the pain, numbness and itching disappeared one by one.

He slowly opened his eyes!

The surroundings seemed to suddenly light up, as if there was light in an empty room, and then the light in his eyes gradually faded and returned to normal.

The whole world seemed a little different to Luo Yuan. Dust was flying around and mutated fish were swimming in the turbid water. At this moment, he felt for the first time that even at night, the colors of the world were so rich and gorgeous. .

Those two eyeballs really worked. Luo Yuan felt that his already abnormal vision had improved to a higher level, but under the hazy and weak moonlight, in Luo Yuan's eyes it was almost like daytime.

And he seemed to see something else.

Ordinary people can only see visible light with their naked eyes. The wave frequency is roughly between 380nm and 780nm, which is only a small part of all electromagnetic waves.

So once it's nighttime, without the reflection of moonlight or starlight, your eyes are completely useless.

It is not that there is no light at night, but the light frequency of these lights is less than 380nm and cannot be seen by the naked eye. In fact, as long as an object has temperature, it will continue to emit electromagnetic waves (invisible infrared light). For example, you can use an infrared lens. You can observe the scenery in the dark night.

There are also some with high energy, whose wave frequency exceeds 780nm, which is also invisible to ordinary people (ultraviolet light)

At this time, every object seemed to have two colors intertwined in Luo Yuan's eyes, one was the moonlight reflected by the object, and the other was the invisible light emitted by the object itself.

The former one is relatively strong and dazzling, while the latter one is very weak, as if it is a firefly that will go out at any time. This means that even in complete darkness, he can still see everything in the world, and he can also judge the temperature of each object through the colors it emits.

This is real night vision!

It's a pity that there are only two eyeballs. Maybe if you look for more, the eyes may evolve, Luo Yuan thought to himself.

However, he also knew that if he wanted to encounter this kind of creature, he could only try his luck, not to mention that the opponent was not a creature that could be slaughtered by others. If he was not careful, he might capsize in the gutter.

… …

Although the sea level has covered most of the city of Shanghai, it is still shallow and there are no powerful sea beasts yet. The mutated beasts on the land have already migrated, resulting in a brief power vacuum in the city of Shanghai.

Along the way, surprisingly we did not encounter any danger.

After continuing to walk for two hours, the water surface gradually became smaller, and some areas were already exposed.

It was already two o'clock in the morning, and everything around him was quiet. Even the roar of insects and beasts that he had become accustomed to after the apocalypse completely disappeared here.

Zhou Yicheng simply sat up, hugged the map, and read it over and over again. The closer he got to the destination, the more restless and restless he felt, and his breathing began to quicken. He kept mumbling to himself: "We're here. Here we go home.”

Several soldiers supported him carefully. Fortunately, he was not as anxious as before. The giant lizard was not fast, otherwise he would have been thrown off long ago.

Luo Yuan found that something was wrong with his mental state. Looking at the body that fell when the wind blew, he was a little worried whether he would collapse at any time.

Master Wang curled his lips and couldn't help but said: "You said it half an hour ago, and you are still saying it now. When will it arrive?"

"Shut up!" Luo Yuan glared at him.

Wang Shishi turned his head with a smile and gave her a slap on the back of his head. If it had been before, she would have squeezed out tears with envy. However, as Wang Shishi's strength increased, her fear of Luo Yuan also decreased rapidly. Now the general scolding has stopped It doesn't have much effect, it's not as cute as before.

"It's really coming this time, it's here!" Zhou Yicheng's lips trembled and his face turned red. He scratched the map with his fingers excitedly. Because he used too much force, he scratched out several lines on the entire map. Mark, he pointed at a certain place vigorously: "It's right here, it shouldn't be wrong, there are still eight kilometers... not five kilometers, five kilometers!"

Everyone became a little excited when they heard it, but also a little nervous at the same time.

"Battle Commander Zhou, do you think they will let us in?" Huo Dong said carefully after a while. Civilian people always have a sense of awe towards military bases, let alone such secret military bases that carry out important work deep behind enemy lines.

"They should be let go, we are survivors after all." Wang Xiaguang said uncertainly.

"Soldiers have a bounden duty to obey orders. They are here to carry equipment, not to rescue survivors. What if they refuse?" Huang Jiahui worried.

"It's still early to discuss now. Let's discuss the situation later!" Luo Yuan said decisively, glancing at Zhou Yicheng.

Zhou Yicheng was swept by Luo Yuan's gaze and woke up from his trance. He suddenly realized that these were not ordinary civilians. If the military base really rejected these people by then, a terrible conflict would probably occur.

It's not that I haven't thought about this kind of thing before, but I subconsciously ignored it at the time and seriously underestimated the strength of Luo Yuan and others.

When he thought of Luo Yuan's speed when he faced the green-haired giant, he was so fast that he couldn't even see his figure, and he felt excited all over.

… …

The road leads to the suburbs, with rolling hills ahead.

The secret military base is apparently in the hills.

And it is very conspicuous. Anyone who takes a look at the newly built cement road surrounding the mountainside and the dark and fresh tire tracks on the road will know that it is strange here. What's more, the place is heavily defended. Every other section of the road has a sentry post with numerous gun barrels, making it intimidating.

Seeing the giant lizard approaching from a distance, the gun barrel moved quickly. Maybe it saw someone on top of the giant lizard and did not fire, but it still frightened several people and turned pale. Even Luo Yuan broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't want to taste the shells.

Soon an infantry vehicle drove out from the gate of the outpost and stopped a few dozen meters away from the monitor. Two heavily armed soldiers with night vision goggles quickly jumped out of the vehicle and looked at the crowd as they got out of the vehicle. gesture.

Luo Yuan hesitated for a moment, then asked the giant lizard to lie down, and everyone came down one by one.

"Which section are you from? Where are you from?" The military uniforms of Zhou Yicheng and other soldiers showed their identities as soldiers, which made the two soldiers look much better, and they were no longer as straight-faced as before.

Zhou Yicheng broke free from the supporting soldiers and gave a standard military salute: "We are all the surviving soldiers of the 312th Battalion of the 18th Special Brigade of the 21st Army. I am the major battalion commander, Zhou Yicheng!"

"Hello, Comrade Chief!" The two soldiers looked solemn and saluted with a military salute.

"Comrade Second Lieutenant, don't call me Commander. It's too shabby. Call me Battalion Commander Zhou." Zhou Yicheng waved his hand with a wry smile: "Jiangnan Province is so miserable. The 21st Army has been dispersed. We are here to ask for help. of."

The two soldiers looked more serious, with a hint of respect on their faces. One of them said: "Battle Commander Zhou, you have worked hard all the way. You have gone home. The other few are survivors. It is not easy to get here. I I’ll send a car to take you up.”

The process went incredibly smoothly, but it was natural. Except for the giant lizard, which was asked to be put down at the foot of the mountain and not allowed to enter, without mentioning anything else, everyone got on a truck and headed towards the military base along the mountain road.

The surrounding hills were all bare and had obviously been repeatedly inspected and cleaned.

After driving for less than ten minutes, the road in front of me suddenly became several times wider, and the roadbed became thicker. Some roads crossed the mountainside and were directly supported by huge bridge piers. Thick sign strips were drawn on the road, leading straight to the mountainside. .

From here, it can be seen that a large hole has been dug out of the entire mountainside, and the inside seems to have been hollowed out.

But what attracted everyone’s attention the most was the incredibly thick tire marks on the road, as well as the terrifyingly tight defenses around them. Seeing the watchtowers that appeared every hundred meters and the several vehicle-borne missile launchers at the end of the road, Luo Yuan's scalp felt numb for a while.

"This is the runway for the transport plane. After the next takeoff, you can go inside." Seeing Luo Yuan and others looking outside curiously, a soldier in charge of security explained beside them.
