Epoch of Twilight

Chapter 239: storm

Views:

After lunch in the afternoon, the weather became extremely hot and gloomy, with thick dark clouds overhead.

After more than twenty days of drought, a downpour is about to come.

By three o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was completely dark, and the thick dark clouds were rolling and squirming, like a black curtain, faintly leaking out faint electric lights, and letting out a low roar like the roar of a giant.

A hint of moist coolness blew from the entrance of the cave, making people feel nervous.

Gradually, the wind outside the grotto became stronger and stronger. What started as a gentle breeze soon turned into a strong wind and a strong wind.

The strong wind blew through the jungle, making strange roars like giant beasts, and the forest sea rolled like waves. Countless towering trees were swaying, and from time to time branches would snap and snap.

A large amount of sand, dead leaves and even gravel were swept up into the air, lurching left and right like crazy wild horses, occasionally forming a violent tornado, but then being blown away by the nearby strong wind.

The dark clouds are getting lower and lower, and have completely engulfed the distant mountains. The wind has become more and more violent, flying sand and rocks, and the sky has turned into a gray color.

"Hurry up!" Luo Yuan shouted loudly, veins popping out of his neck.

Several men looked ferocious as they struggled to push a boulder weighing more than ten tons, slowly moving towards the entrance of the grotto. The violent whirlwind circled back and forth in the stone wall corridor, making a permeating whimpering sound, and several people were blown around. The clothes were squeaking, and it was almost difficult to stand.

One of the soldiers seemed to have lost some strength. He was unsteady on his feet and was swept back by the strong wind. He staggered back again and again!

Luo Yuan had quick eyesight and quickly grabbed the soldier and pulled him back to where he was: "Be careful!"

The soldier turned pale with fright and quickly cheered up. This place is fifty or sixty meters above the ground and nearly fifteen or six stories high. If you fall, you will definitely not be able to survive.

"Stop, right here!" Luo Yuan said.

Everyone was relieved, and then, one by one, they carefully climbed over the boulders, rolled and crawled into the grotto, and huddled in the corner, their faces pale.

A large amount of dust and dead leaves flowed into the grotto with the strong wind. The dust filled the sky inside, and the air currents were turbulent, making it impossible to see here.

"Time is too short. We can only do this in a short period of time. I hope it can be of some use." Luo Yuan couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the overly large doorway and the huge boulder that was extremely disproportionate in comparison.

This grotto door is really too big. Although it seems a bit cramped and low for a giant, you may have to lower your head to enter, but that is the standard of a giant. In fact, it is five meters high and 1.5 meters wide.

The stone blocking the block weighs more than ten tons, which sounds heavy, but considering the density of the stone, it is only over one meter high and two meters long. Not to mention completely blocking the door, not even a quarter.

Of course, the biggest purpose of this huge boulder blocking here is not to block the strong wind, but to have a place to block people when they are blown away by the wind.

"What the hell, this is the Kunlun Mountains. Where did the wind come from? The typhoons in our coastal areas are not that strong!" The leaves hit his face, which hurt a little. Huo Dong quickly covered his face with his hands. , scolded.

Everyone huddled in the corner of the grotto, looking at the sky filled with dark clouds, their faces slightly pale.

"There is no longer a coast!" Lin Xiaoji reminded quietly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was filled with a mouthful of strong wind.

Huo Dong was stunned for a moment, then sighed dejectedly. Yes, there has been no coast for a long time, now this is the coast.

At this time, a shadow fell from the sky quickly, and in an instant it hit the door of the grotto violently, making a loud noise, and the ground shook violently. A large area of the door collapsed due to the impact, and a large amount of gravel rolled down, even the grotto. Several cracks also appeared on the rock wall inside.

This time it was completely caught off guard. Everyone except Luo Yuan had their hearts beat heavily and their faces turned pale.

"What?" Huang Jiahui said, her voice obviously trembling.

"It's a branch!" Luo Yuan said with a solemn expression. He had keen vision and could clearly distinguish it even in the dim environment here. This is not a small branch, but a branch with a thickness of forty or fifty centimeters. Before the end of the world, a tree with such a thickness would have been barely considered a big tree.

He felt a little heavy in his heart. He could break such a tree, and it was an extremely tough mutant tree, and drag the branches weighing several tons into the air. The force of such a wind was probably far beyond the destructive power of level 12 winds.

The earth's environment seems to be getting worse. The melting of glaciers in the North and South Poles and the existence of cosmic storms seem to have caused global climate disorders. He analyzed secretly in his heart.

Not long after, accompanied by strong lightning and thunder, the downpour finally came. Countless lightnings formed a dazzling power grid in mid-air from time to time. Perhaps it was the cosmic storm that caused the atmosphere to carry a large amount of charge. The power of lightning The level has become extremely powerful.

The sky flickered between bright and dark, and everyone looked ugly.

The last thunderstorm had not passed long ago, and such lightning reminded people of that horrific scene.

However, compared with the last thunderstorm that almost wiped out the world, this time the lightning was still within the normal range. Both the scale, density and energy level were much smaller. They were not in the same order of magnitude at all, but it was still enough to make the already changed The people were as frightened as a bowed bird.

Even Luo Yuan is not an exception in this regard. He is also a human being, not a god. When encountering this kind of lightning, even if he is several times stronger, it will be useless.

Maybe it has been dry for too long, and this rainstorm is particularly violent.

The pouring rain poured into the grotto along with the strong wind, making a "pop" sound. Within a few minutes, a large amount of water had accumulated on the ground. Heavy objects kept falling nearby, making a heart-stopping loud noise. Some fell on cliffs and even triggered landslides.

The atmosphere in the grotto was somewhat depressing, and everyone was silent. Even with the howling wind, one could still hear each other's heavy breathing.

… …

The entire rainstorm lasted for nearly five hours, and when it gradually stopped, the sky had already turned pitch black.

Luo Yuan waded through the water that almost reached his thighs and slowly walked out of the half-collapsed door. Under the night, the grass in front of him had disappeared and was replaced by a huge lake.

After the jungle was ravaged by the strong wind, it was in a mess. There were tangled trees everywhere. Some trees were uprooted and hung miserably on another big tree. In fact, trees in some areas disappeared in patches, indicating that they had experienced the eye of the storm.

But Luo Yuan was not happy, but rather worried. Although the rain was extremely destructive, it also brought a lot of water. In the past, the growth of plants was inhibited due to drought, but now with this heavy rain, what will happen next No one knows how crazy the growth of plants will be, and as the water source is solved, the mutant beasts that previously migrated to other places may also return in large numbers.

"It seems that this place is getting more and more dangerous. We must put it on the agenda to leave here." He thought secretly in his heart.

But it was not without good news. The scorching summer air was completely blown away by this storm. A breeze blew, and the moist wind carried a hint of coolness, which suddenly lifted his spirits.

He blew the cool breeze for a while, then turned and walked back to the grotto.
