Just as Luo Yuan clicked, the giant lizard's body trembled slightly, and it grunted in comfort. Its eyes seemed to be glowing, and some wounds all over its body began to heal rapidly. Its scales became shiny and shiny, and even it His body shape has changed slightly.

But it didn't last long. In just ten seconds, these changes ended.

It seemed to feel the power, shook its body, and stood up with strength. The uneasiness and fear in its expression had weakened a lot, and it showed a trace of excitement and joy.

Luo Yuan kept looking at the attribute panel. At this time, the monitor lizard's attributes had changed to:

"War Beast: Jungle Monitor;"

"Level: Level 3 (Dark Blue);"

Status: healthy

Loyalty: 80 (lower than 50, you will rebel or run away at any time, full value is 100)

Unassigned attribute points: 0

Unassigned skill points: 5

Luo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. The loyalty did not drop much, from 87 to 80 points. This level of loyalty was considered quite high. After all, most of the time, it was only over 70 points. Moreover, its state has also changed, from weak to healthy. It is obvious that the sequelae of the anesthetic have been almost eliminated.

In addition, various skills have made some progress during this period, and each has increased by two or three points.

Since all the attribute points have been added, the remaining five skill points don't matter. They are added by two and three points respectively for pounce and bite.

At this time, the attributes of the monitor lizard are so powerful and terrifying. Although the evolutionary level is only the dark blue level, but with its terrifying attributes, it is probably the light green level. If the dark blue level is further divided, the dead old Huang is ordinary. Units, while previously the giant lizard was supposed to be an elite unit, now it is considered a heroic unit, and even ordinary light green-level units can be easily singled out.

Luo Yuan jumped on the giant lizard. Before leaving, he looked up at the sky.

There are many strange phenomena in the sky, lightning and aurora intertwined together, forming a scene of doomsday. The air exudes a strong smell of ozone. What is even more shocking is that a huge star with a radius of dozens of kilometers seems to appear in the sky. The whirlpool, countless thick lightnings surrounded this whirlpool, swimming wildly, and the whirlpool was even spreading and moving rapidly.

This scene made his hands and feet feel cold, and his mind buzzed and became a mess.

He has never seen such a terrifying sight, even if the total of all the lightning he has seen from birth to now is probably only a few seconds now.

The monitor lizard ran faster and faster, almost panicking. Some small trees and shrubs were directly knocked down by its huge size. Luo Yuan, who was sitting on its back, could clearly feel it trembling all over. If Luo Yuan hadn't comforted and adjusted his direction from time to time, he might have gone to nowhere.

As thick lightning bolts frequently fell into the forest, thick smoke rose and bursts of fire appeared everywhere. Such strong winds are howling, and the branches are almost connected to the dense forest. If it is before the end of the world, fire is almost inevitable, and once it burns, if there is no organization to put out the fire, even if the entire forest and countless hills are burned, there will be no danger. possible.

However, the fire in the forest was not very big. The fire only lasted for a while and then disappeared quickly. After a few minutes, even the thick smoke dissipated.

In the apocalypse, it is not just animals that evolve, but also plants.

Many plants have their own response methods to the most damaging flames. Even if they cannot move, they still have extremely fast stress reactions. When Luo Yuan passed one of the plants that was struck by lightning, he found that its charred parts had already Wrapped in a milky white colloid, this colloid quickly extinguished the flame and prevented it from continuing to spread.

Luo Yuan was terrified all the way, fearing that he would be unlucky and be struck by lightning, but fortunately the journey was uneventful. It took him nearly ten minutes to finally return to the original place.

Luo Yuan jumped off the giant lizard, ran a few steps, then stopped and looked back at the giant lizard, feeling a little worried that it would continue to go crazy under fear.

As a result, I saw the monitor lizard's limbs moving wildly. Its four cylindrical claws were like a giant excavator. Tons of soil was dug out quickly. In just a short time, it was dug out from the same place. A deep hole, it kept moving and continued to dig rapidly. After five minutes, a deep pit about ten meters deep was dug in the ground.

Then, it lay down in the pit, swept its tail around, and rolled all the excavated mud into the pit. Finally, it buried its entire body and head, motionless.

… … … …

The cave was so dark that there was no light at all. Even the lightning outside could not bring any light.

When he entered the cave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"How is the situation outside?" Captain Xia asked in a hoarse voice.

"The lightning is getting more and more serious, but fortunately there is no fire in the forest." Luo Yuan paused, said calmly, and then sat down next to Huang Jiahui.

Everyone was silent for a while, and everyone's eyes flashed with uneasiness and fear.

Huang Jiahui held Luo Yuan tightly, trembling slightly all over, and Luo Yuan patted her hand.

Master Wang also quickly sat over, hugged Luo Yuan's other arm tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Luo, will we die?"

"Are you afraid of death?" Luo Yuan was silent for a moment and asked.

Wang Shishi shook her head vigorously. She looked at Luo Yuan with hot eyes in the darkness, even suppressing the uneasiness in her heart. : "I'm afraid, but I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid when I'm with you."

If she had heard Master Wang say this before, Huang Jiahui would have been a little jealous, but at this moment, at this critical moment, she just sighed slightly.

Luo Yuan smiled awkwardly, feeling a little heavy in his heart: "Don't worry, it hasn't reached this level yet, it will pass soon. You have to know that the earth will rotate. As long as you persist for one night, the cosmic storm will disappear. This side of us disappeared."

Luo Yuan's words were naturally meant to comfort Master Wang. Anyone with some common sense in astronomy would know that no matter from the back or the front, once the cosmic storm blows away the atmosphere, high-energy cosmic rays will directly expose the earth, and all living things will inevitably die.

As time passed by, lightning exploded like rain outside, without stopping at all, and even getting more intense!

Occasionally, lightning struck nearby, causing the cave to shake slightly. From time to time, gravel fell down. Everyone looked pale and prayed silently in their hearts.

"Does anyone want a cigarette?" Captain Xia asked with a trembling voice. His mood seemed a little wrong, as if he was forcibly suppressing something.

Several men asked for one, but Luo Yuan refused.

Captain Xia crumpled the empty cigarette case into a ball, took out his lighter and lit the cigarette tremblingly, took a deep breath, and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Luo asked just now, are you afraid of death

Do you know what it was like when our troops performed their first mission? I haven't fought in a war for decades and have no idea of the cruelty of war. No matter how well-trained I am, I am still a new recruit. I remember that the first mission of our regiment was to burn wasteland. At that time, the apocalypse had just begun. Our entire division took action and rode trucks into the mountainous area to burn down the entire mountain. We were the ones participating in the containment. I was still a deputy platoon leader at that time.

When the top of the mountain burned down, countless mutant beasts swarmed out. I still remember that scene fresh.

Do you know how many people we have died? Almost half of them died. Many of them were deserters who were shot dead on the spot by military judges. In fact, I didn’t fire a single shot at that time. I just lay in the trench all the time, shaking all over. , I was so scared that I was so weak that I couldn’t even stand up and run away. I had never felt that death was so close.

After I came back, I was so frightened that I quickly typed my retirement report, but the then company commander tore it up on the spot and sternly warned me that this was the last time, otherwise I would be considered a deserter.

Deserters were to be shot. He didn't lie to me, because it didn't take long for a group of people to be executed. They were executed and a general purge of the army was carried out.

This is only the first time, and then there will be the second time, and the third time...

The company commander died, the deputy company commander came in. The deputy company commander died, the platoon commander came in. Soon it was my turn to be the company commander. Almost every month in our company, a large number of new recruits joined, some of them for the first time. When he went to the battlefield, he couldn't even hold a gun steadily. After a few months, there were almost no veterans left.

I am also lucky and have always survived. In our group alone, there are less than fifty people who can survive longer than me. It stands to reason that a veteran like me should have nothing to fear. Every day that I have survived has been earned. But I am still afraid of every mission. My wife and daughter are waiting for me, and I am afraid that I will never see them again. Without them..." Captain Xia said, his voice choked with sobs. He took a deep breath, raised his head and didn't speak for a long time.

Several soldiers also had wet eyes and were sobbing quietly.

Luo Yuan let out a long sigh!
