Wanderers can be seen from time to time along the way, but no one dares to get close. Most people fled here quickly when they saw the figure of the giant lizard, perhaps before they could see the people sitting on it. A very few did not. Those who escaped also watched from a distance, their eyes filled with vigilance.
Judging from their clothing, the life of the wanderers is not good.
The first few wanderers may have just come out, and they still have roughly the same clothes, but for most of them, wearing crude animal skins is the norm, and some people are even naked, like a group of savages. What surprised Luo Yuan was that he saw several women among them. They didn't feel shy or uncomfortable at all. They looked very natural and didn't even bother to cover their secret parts, as if they didn't need to wear clothes in the first place.
The traces of civilization have gradually faded away on them, and their every move is full of wildness. Luo Yuan only saw the ferocity and savagery on their faces.
Luo Yuan couldn't help but sigh. He suddenly thought that if the reconstruction area also fell, maybe this would be the final outcome of mankind. The sparse ethnic groups could not support the cornerstone of civilization, and the inheritance of knowledge would gradually be forgotten. Their descendants might have to rely on Illusion, to look up at the past glory of mankind.
… …
Master Wang was very excited. Along the way, she kept using her mind to pick up the jewelry and gold scattered on the ground. Several women were still helping to search carefully and screaming loudly from time to time.
Maybe it was the temptation of the jewelry everywhere, or maybe it was the relaxation in their hearts after they were about to step into the human base camp, but everyone was in a good mood.
Soon the monitor lizard's back was filled with various kinds of jewelry and gold.
These jewelry stained with dust and blood stained, after being wiped for a while, they gave off a charming luster, attracting the attention of countless people. Even Luo Yuan couldn't help but take a few more glances.
It is not without reason that these things have become the equivalent of human money for thousands of years. They can always arouse the deepest desires of human beings.
Wang Shishi did not monopolize these jewels. Everyone got a share. Of course, the best share was left to Luo Yuan. There was also a natural diamond the size of a thumb. He smiled and did not refuse. He asked Xia Lian The director learned that although the reconstruction area was almost occupied by various bills from the planned economy era, jewelry, at least gold, still had considerable purchasing power. This was actually a function of people's hearts. As long as most people recognized it as valuable, then He is valuable, even if the government issues a ban.
Wang Shishi and Luo Yuan's share were put into the baggage by Huang Jiahui, but the others put it away separately. Although they did not say it explicitly, as they approached the reconstruction area, everyone gradually had their own ideas.
However, everyone was in a good mood, laughing and laughing all the way. Even the King Kong was affected, shouting "vomit" from time to time, and his strong body flipped several rusted cars around, making a huge roar. roar.
The majestic body, which is seven to eight meters high, is full of explosive power. Even those twelve-wheel heavy trucks can easily overturn under its huge force. Occasionally when it encounters a car, it can even be lifted high and thrown hundreds of meters away, making Luo Yuan look sideways.
As he approached the reconstruction area, there were more and more traces of civilization. Luo Yuan saw the figure of a fighter jet in the sky more than once. Maybe it was a drone. It flew at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters. In the eyes of ordinary people, this was an insignificant thing. It's a small spot, but with his keen vision, he can clearly distinguish its shape and color.
After walking for about a hundred kilometers, the road conditions began to get better and better. Most of the moss and vines on it had disappeared, and there were traces of recent repairs. Even the abandoned cars on the road had mostly disappeared, and tires could be seen from time to time. The black mark showed that they were very close to the reconstruction area.
"Do you think those are bomb craters?" Lin Xiaoji suddenly asked
Luo Yuan looked in the direction he pointed. One kilometer away, there was a huge blank area of vegetation, several kilometers in diameter. It was full of pits and holes, and it looked like the surface of the moon. . Of course, it’s not that there are no plants, they are just short and sparse, as if they have just grown out.
It is easy to ignore shelling in the desert. Whether it is a rapidly growing plant or a strong wind, the crater can be buried. If it can be easily seen with the naked eye, it can only mean one thing. Captain Xia looked at it for a long time. He said with a solemn tone: "This area should have been shelled recently. I estimate that the time was no more than half a month."
"It's so close?" Lin Xiaoji said in surprise.
Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and their relaxed mood also improved. This meant that a war had just occurred here recently, and the danger may not be far away, and there may still be fish that have slipped through the net.
Luo Yuan secretly clenched the handle of the knife, and if he smelled it carefully, he could indeed smell a faint smell of gunpowder smoke in the air.
He paid careful attention to his surroundings. Perhaps it was because it was located in a desert and had sparse plants. It was very peaceful here. Although there were many mutant beasts, most of them were relatively weak. Along the way, not to mention the light green level, there were very few dark blue ones. .
After all, this is near the reconstruction area, the base camp of mankind. I am afraid that the area here has been given special attention and sorted out several times.
The reconstruction area looked safer than imagined and not as dangerous as previously imagined, but he knew that this was just an appearance. The biggest threat to human beings is not actually those powerful mutant beasts. Their number is limited, and humans have enough powerful and terrifying weapons to deal with these powerful individuals. On the contrary, it is those inconspicuous creatures that pose the most serious threat to human existence.
He still remembers the drastic changes that took place in Hedong City. A group of weak mutated mosquitoes turned the entire city into a ghost town.
He discovered that in the desert, one could see caves one after another from time to time. These caves were of different sizes. The small ones were about a foot and the large ones were several meters. Even in the soft desert, they still did not collapse and seemed to be stuck by something. combine together.
He frowned secretly. The soft sand made it seem like there were many underground creatures here.
At this time, the monitor lizard became a little irritable, and strong smoke spurted out from its nostrils, occasionally mixed with a few sparks. King Kong also showed his ferocious fangs from time to time and made a dull roar.
Such an unusual situation lets everyone know that danger is approaching.
"Luo Yuan!" Seeing Luo Yuan sitting motionless, Zhao Yali couldn't help but remind her.
"Don't be nervous, it's just a few little bugs!" Luo Yuan comforted.
He didn't look nervous at all. His strength had reached an extraordinary level. Except for some limited super beings, ordinary mutant creatures could rarely threaten him.
Luo Yuan's strength has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Since he said it was okay, everyone felt relaxed.
He sat on the back of the monitor lizard and listened carefully to the movements around him. There seemed to be subtle but noisy movements coming from the ground, which sounded like sandpaper rubbing against each other.
There seems to be more than one place!
Luo Yuan's ears twitched slightly, he pulled out a short spear from the backpack on his back, and then stood up. At this time, the giant lizard had stopped moving forward and was treading furiously on the spot.
"Here we come, hurry up!" Luo Yuan shouted.
Everyone was shocked, and they quickly grabbed the rattan blanket on the monitor's back and lay on its back as much as possible.
Not long after the words were spoken, the concrete under the giant lizard's feet suddenly exploded, gravel flew, and a huge bloody mouth fiercely bit into the giant lizard's abdomen, which is the softest and most lethal part of most creatures. Once bitten, life is over.
The angle of this attack was so abrupt that even Luo Yuan did not expect that these underground insect-shaped creatures had such an accurate sense of direction. His line of sight was completely blocked and he was unable to support him at all.
But at the critical moment, the monitor lizard's fifteen-point agility came into play. It took a few steps back suddenly, and in shock and anger, it opened its mouth and sprayed out a stream of flames.
Just listen to a loud "boom".
The head of this insect-shaped creature was hit hard by high-pressure flames on the ground, and its body began to burn blazingly. The intense pain caused by the burning made it roll violently, but this kind of gasoline-like flame could not be extinguished at all, and it kept on burning. The struggle, almost as huge as a train, caused terrible damage to the road.
After a while, a deep pit with a radius of more than ten meters appeared in the area where the giant insect was located. A large amount of burning rubble was flying everywhere like bullets. Fortunately, Wang Shishi had already used his telekinesis, and all the rubble was blocked one by one.
The giant insect that came this time was not the only one. Soon another one also appeared, and its target was King Kong.
King Kong did not react so quickly, but it was obviously smarter. After the giant lizard was attacked, it had already jumped onto a nearby abandoned truck.
When the giant insect appeared, the entire truck was overturned, and King Kong was also thrown into the air. Although he was very embarrassed, his previous actions saved his life.
Just as the giant insect was trying to bite the food flying in the air, a short spear whizzed over. The next moment, it slammed into the bloody mouth. In an instant, the entire upper jaw was completely exploded, and half of the head was blown open. They were all blown away.
Luo Yuan asked the giant lizard to retreat, then jumped down and ran at high speed on the road. After a few breaths, he stopped suddenly.
Feeling the noisy movement underground, as if there were countless giant insects coming this way, he sneered, took a deep breath, and then suddenly raised his feet. The ground shook slightly, and the entire land seemed to be lifted. , countless cracks suddenly appeared on the road.
The next moment, his feet fell heavily.
There was a loud bang, as if countless explosives were buried in the ground. The road that had just appeared cracks exploded instantly and broke into countless debris. Luo Yuan did not stop. He raised his feet again and fell heavily.
boom! boom! boom! boom!
Four times in a row, the entire 100-meter radius was suddenly filled with smoke and dust, and the air flow surged with terrifying power. Even Huang Jiahui and others more than 100 meters away could feel the clear vibrations on the ground, as if a small-scale explosion had just occurred. earthquake.
The smoke and dust gradually dispersed, and five corpses of giant insects that had emerged from the ground were lying on the ground. Their bodies were squashed or torn apart by a terrifying force, and the liquid flowing out soaked the ground.
The powerful vitality makes them still twitching, but this is the last struggle before death.
If it is on the ground, the earth trample is not that powerful. For this kind of creatures that are at least dark blue level, and there are two light green level creatures, it will make them slightly dizzy at most, but underground, it is different. .
The underground deformation caused by the trampling of the earth caused these giant insects to endure unimaginable horrific squeezing and tearing. Even light green-level creatures were easily killed without any resistance.
Luo Yuan lay on the ground and listened attentively to the movement. Now there was no sound in the ground. Even the giant insects that were not affected had already fled the place quickly.
He exited the pulsating state of the earth, patted the dust off his body, returned to the back of the giant lizard, and the team set off again.
The entire battle lasted less than twenty seconds and was over. Only seven huge corpses were left, still twitching slightly in place. At the same time, the drone overhead also transmitted the image to the reconstruction site for the first time. Central Security Strategic Information Management Center of Xinjing District.
