Chapter 263: Gobi

Views:

As Luo Yuan walked along, he saw people gathering in groups from time to time and walking towards the wild.

This is the border area of the reconstruction area. Although it is sorted out regularly to eliminate possible dangers, there are still some fish that slip through the net. The existence of these people has curbed this potential threat to a certain extent. Therefore, the attitude towards this redevelopment area neither encourages nor prohibits it, but is basically a laissez-faire attitude.

Luo Yuan was walking alone, and many people came to chat with him and wanted to form a team, but Luo Yuan refused with a smile.

These people are basically ordinary people, and many of them just capture some low-level small mutated beasts to improve their lives. Naturally, he looks down upon them, and they are not here for hunting today.

After walking five or six kilometers, the number of people began to gradually thin out. Luo Yuan relaxed his pace and moved faster and faster.

This place was originally a desert, but the air did not appear dry. The soft sand was covered with sparse and yellowing grass blades, which exuded a faint smell of pesticides. It was obvious that herbicides had been sprayed recently.

However, Luo Yuan saw that new buds were breaking out of the sand again, and the thin dewdrops on them trembled slightly. Facing the morning sun, they stretched their tender branches and leaves. Humans and nature, this is destined to be a long-lasting battle. The war may last for a long time.

Under the lighthouse in the distance, there are piles of insect carcasses, like a hill. Some insects are not completely dead. Their charred bodies are struggling and crawling, trying to stay away from this insect cemetery, covering several kilometers in radius. The area is covered.

The thick military boots stepped heavily on the insect's body, bursting out a ball of colorful slurry. Luo Yuan frowned in disgust and stayed away from the area.

At this time, gunshots were heard in the distance, and it sounded like more than one gun.

"You're a coward who turned out to be a deserter. Put down your gun and follow me back to the army. Before the disciplinary committee finds out, come back with me." An angry voice came from afar.

"Let me go. I have children at home. Just pretend you haven't seen me. Please." The speaker was so scared that his voice trembled.

"You know what will happen to deserters. Just shoot them. Don't be obsessed with it. Come back with me and I'll pretend it didn't happen." The person who persuaded him became a little angry, and then he persuaded him seriously: "You also know, There is no good end for deserters these days. There is no way you can escape except going to the wild and being eaten by wild beasts."

"Squad leader, I know your good intentions. You usually take good care of me, but if you go there, you will die in vain. It is better to escape. You should escape too. To tell you the truth, Motucheng will definitely not be able to stop it this time. You are so willing to die in vain." This man actually advised.

Hearing this man's words, Luo Yuan's heart skipped a beat and his face darkened. Could it be that the situation was so serious that even the garrison outside the city couldn't stop it? How could this be possible with such a powerful defense and such a solid fortress? The huge cannon roars, and I am afraid that I will not be able to break through for a while.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. After a long time, the person who persuaded him spoke loudly.

"I don't even know what nonsense you are talking about. Where did you get the news?"

"Don't worry about it. This is what I overheard. This place will soon be affected by the insect wave. Even if you don't believe it, you have seen it. The recent increase in ammunition and oil has filled the warehouse. It will soon be There's going to be a war, please listen to my advice and everyone should run away!"

"Insect tide, it's not like we haven't experienced it here before. How can we break through our defense line? Stop talking nonsense. I just want to ask, are you going to follow me or not?" The squad leader roared with suppressed anger, There was a hint of murderous intent in the voice.

"What if it's a super insect swarm?" As if aware of the determination in the squad leader's tone, the man still tried to persuade.

"Is this your decision?" the squad leader said in a low voice: "Stop talking nonsense, and don't use any excuses, it's useless. Either go back with me, or die?"

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and after a long time, a burst of gunfire rang out.

Luo Yuan listened thoughtfully to the gunshots in the distance, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. Is what the deserter said true or false

If it is really an insect tide, that would be terrible. The insect tide is the most terrifying kind of beast tide. Not only does it move super fast, but also because most of them fly in the air, it is difficult to defend. Once it gets close to the defense line, Desert City will inevitably be attacked. spread. If it were a super insect swarm, it would be a nightmare.

A hint of haze flashed in his heart, and his pace gradually quickened.

As he passed the defense area, he took a closer look. A large number of transport trucks came in and out from time to time, raising a cloud of dust on the road. Even several giant gun barrels on the fortress kept moving. Due to the adjustment, perhaps due to psychological effects, the defense area actually gave people a tense atmosphere.

Luo Yuan withdrew his gaze. After showing his pass at the check-in counter, Luo Yuan walked out of the defense line and walked toward the valley dozens of kilometers away.

It is said to be a valley, but in fact it is just a Gobi Desert composed of dozens of giant rocks.

Each of these giant rocks is hundreds of meters high. From a distance, they look like mountain peaks. As the end of the world approaches, a large number of plants grow in the rocks. From a distance, the color of the rocks themselves can no longer be seen. Abundant greenery.

The monitor lizard and King Kong are placed here. Such dangerous giant beasts will naturally not be placed in a safe zone. This Gobi has become the territory of these two giant beasts.

Luo Yuan took out a mobile phone and turned on the satellite positioning system in his hand. The two green dots were side by side and close together, obviously not separated. Before being placed here, the monitor lizard and King Kong were both implanted with chips, which can be searched no matter where they are.

Mobile phones are given as a gift after the chip is implanted. Compared with the trendy and fashionable mobile phones before the end of the world, today's mobile phones are a bit thick and clumsy. The standard touch screen has disappeared and been replaced by retro digital buttons. It feels like 78 or 78 years ago. The pre-Nokia era. The interruption of global trade and the collapse of most industrial areas have obviously caused the regression and decline of some technologies.

Luo Yuan looked at the distance and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. The two giant beasts were not far away.

This is the first time I have been here since my resettlement.

He couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Seeing that this place was far away from the defense line, he finally let go and started running.

The strong wind was blowing in the face, but with the ability of the clothes to balance the airflow, it turned into a gentle breeze. Since arriving in the reconstruction area, this was the first time that I ran so fast. Unlike the small courtyard of the villa, there was no No scruples, no barriers.

He ran faster and faster, and the surrounding scenery retreated rapidly.

In the past few days, his body continued to transform and he ate a lot, and his strength finally broke through to fifteen points.

Every time his feet hit the ground, the ground seemed to explode, opening up a small crater. The strong force made him move one step closer than before, and it was like lightning. His body became more and more floating, and he took almost eight or nine meters with each step, so that he had to lower his body to maintain balance to avoid being blown away by the wind.

Not long after, he arrived at the foot of the Gobi Desert.
