On the way back, a large number of flies and mosquitoes began to appear in front of us. They were a little sparse at first, with only a few here and there. But the further we went, the more dense they became. After traveling for more than ten kilometers, it was almost impossible to move forward. Countless flies and mosquitoes were densely packed. , almost filling the entire space, floating around like thick fog, gathering and dispersing at times.
The monitor lizard seemed a little irritable and began to stop moving forward. After Luo Yuan's repeated urging, it had no choice but to move forward.
The air was filled with a stench, exuding a smell of rotting corpses, and the ground became a little bumpy, with large and small holes everywhere on the surface. It felt like suddenly entering the surface of the moon.
Mutated insects and human corpses are everywhere on the ground. At a glance, the corpses are everywhere, which makes people feel chilly.
The flesh and blood of the corpses have been devoured by scavenging creatures and disappeared, leaving only the cold skeletons.
Luo Yuan asked the giant lizard to slow down and look far into the distance. He had not paid attention before when he was at high altitude. Now he returned with the giant lizard and realized that the battlefield was actually not far from Motucheng.
This was undoubtedly just one of the small and insignificant battlefields, but its scope was extremely vast. Luo Yuan circled around the battlefield and found that the entire radius of dozens of kilometers covered the scope of the battlefield.
A large number of broken and twisted tanks and anti-aircraft guns were randomly thrown on the battlefield like scrap metal. A few shells that had not had time to be fired rolled to the side, with small insects crawling on them from time to time. Even if he was just watching from a distance, Luo Yuan could feel the tragic atmosphere of war!
When Luo Yuan passed by a fortress, a corner of this solid fortification that could completely withstand heavy artillery bombardment had collapsed. He flew in specially to check the situation, and passed through the twisted gaps in the steel bars. Countless corpses were lying on the ground. It was a mess inside.
Several intersecting scratches were left on the concrete floor, like ravines, dividing the entire ground into several parts, but the culprit was nowhere to be found.
… … …
The sky was getting dark, and Yan Mengjun looked at the time frequently, with a trace of anxiety on his face.
It was already close to five o'clock, and it would get dark in another hour at most.
The wilderness at night is dangerous. This place was originally a desert, with a huge temperature difference between day and night, which caused many creatures to come out only at night. Of course, the climate has changed dramatically now, and deserts have begun to turn into grasslands, but the past habits of these creatures are still preserved.
In the past, with his third-level ability, there would have been no danger. This place is close to Desert City and within the human defense line. The mutated creatures in the territory have been sorted out countless times. Even ordinary people can break through as long as they are brave enough. break.
However, now that this place has been occupied, the original safe zone is no longer safe. After the last insect wave, there are still an unknown number of powerful mutated insects that remain hidden in this endless grass, watching eagerly.
Originally there was Luo Yuan to rely on, but now Luo Yuan has not come back for a long time. Seeing that the sky is getting darker and darker, he feels nervous.
Seeing his wife holding his arm tightly with a pale face, she forced a smile on her face and comforted her: "Don't worry, I have everything under control."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, there are so many of us, we can't guarantee your safety." Zhang Wu, who was next to him, also comforted.
"Look at them, it seems like nothing happened!" Yang Zhiqing, a relatively calm one among the crowd, said strangely.
Perhaps because there were women on one side, the team was divided into two obvious teams. However, compared to these people who were tense, a group of women on the other side looked natural and chatted about their parents' shortcomings.
"I'm going to ask!" Yan Mengjun took a look and said. As a former real estate agent, he was naturally not as restrained and reserved as most people in strange situations. After saying that, he walked over with Gu Meiyan: "Excuse me, what do you know about Mr. Luo?" Is it time to come back?”
"Should be back soon!" Huang Jiahui looked at the time and said with a smile. After experiencing so many things, she had already become accustomed to this kind of worry: "Please wait a little longer!"
"No trouble, no trouble, I'm just a little worried. It's getting late, and it might be dangerous then!" Yan Mengjun quickly explained that these people are all close to Mr. Luo. If he is impatient if he is misunderstood, then It's troublesome.
"Thank you for reminding us. We will pay attention to these." Huang Jiahui said politely, but she disagreed in her heart. Let alone Wang Shishi's amazing strength, even she is not afraid of ordinary mutant creatures. After experiencing so many storms, she is really I don't feel nervous about the wilderness outside the desert city.
Yan Mengjun felt helpless, turned around and returned to the original team with his wife, shaking his head at Zhang Wu and others.
As time passed by, it was getting dark, and the dense grassland gradually began to move. A large number of mounds rose out of thin air on the grassland from time to time, and ferocious mutated creatures emerged from them.
This area has only been occupied for less than a month, and both the number and strength of mutant creatures have undergone tremendous changes. From a distance, there are many second- and third-level mutant creatures.
But gradually, these creatures began to become commotion, and seemed to feel the uneasiness in the air. Their behavior became a little weird, some looked around cautiously, some were spinning around in circles, and some even burrowed back into the ground. middle. .
"What's going on?" Yan Mengjun looked confused: "What happened?"
"Could there be another earthquake?" Zhang Wu guessed.
"There does seem to be some earthquake!" Yang Zhiqing felt it, and seemed to feel a faint tremor.
"Look, what is that?" Gu Meiyan suddenly discovered something, and quickly pulled Yan Mengjun beside her with a look of shock.
I saw two small dots faintly appearing in the distance. As time went by, these two small dots became clearer and clearer, and they were rapidly enlarging. At the same time, the ground began to shake slightly.
As the vision became clearer and clearer, everyone's faces gradually turned pale. Wherever they looked, they could see two indescribably terrifying giant beasts approaching at an extremely fast speed, accompanied by an increasingly strong earthquake.
At the first glance, the two giant beasts were still two or three kilometers away. Only ten seconds later, they were already close in front of us. Facing such giant beasts, human beings are so small. The strong shock of running around is so strong. , already making them unable to stand. Yan Mengjun and others' faces turned pale, and sweat broke out on their foreheads. Although they desperately wanted to escape, their bodies were weak and unable to move.
Several mutated creatures that were unable to escape froze in place and were trampled to pieces by the passing giant beasts, exploding into a ball of flesh.
Compared with Yan Mengjun and others who had seen the giant lizard and King Kong for the first time, Huang Jiahui and others undoubtedly performed better, but they were also shocked. Not only did the appearance of these two giant beasts change drastically, but their size also increased by almost one. Times, if he hadn't seen Luo Yuan on his back, he would have thought he was in danger.
As the distance got closer and closer, the two giant beasts began to slow down when they were approaching several hundred meters.
It has to be said that Luo Yuan's existence was easily ignored in front of the huge size of the giant beast. It was only then that someone finally noticed the figure on one of the giant beasts. Yan Mengjun and others couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, and their bodies... Staggering, I realized that my whole body was close to collapse.
…
"No, maybe I didn't hear clearly. Mr. Luo, you are saying, let us sit on the giant beast!" Yan Mengjun opened his mouth and said with difficulty. As a normal person, this is really crazy. This is more than ten meters. It's such a terrifying giant beast that even if it just touches it, you will be seriously injured.
"Is there a problem? We can't go more than a thousand kilometers just by walking." Luo Yuan said, looking at the group of people with a half-smile.
"No... no more!" Yan Mengjun shook his head with a pale face.
"It's... very reasonable, and I have no objection." Zhang Wu also said with a stiff expression.
"As long as he doesn't bite, it'll be fine." Yang Zhiqing secretly glanced at the two giant beasts and muttered in a low voice.
The previous rattan rugs were long gone. Before it got dark, everyone began to search hard for rattan that could be woven.
The monitor lizard has great undulations when running. If there is no rattan blanket to hold on to, it will be easily thrown off. Especially now that the monitor lizard is nearly ten meters tall, once it falls from it while moving at high speed, the consequences will be really disastrous.
In today's wilderness, there is no shortage of anything but these vines. These mutated vines are extremely flexible and strong. Even if a few thin vines as thick as steel wires are entangled together, the strongest Luo Yuan cannot break them.
Of course, the vines required to weave the rattan rug are thicker, each one almost as thick as a child's arm. Not only can the step of rubbing the hemp be omitted, but it is also heavier, harder to fall off, and easier to hold.
There are no pampered people in the last days. Even Gu Meiyan, who has been looking bad since the appearance of the giant beast, came over and got busy, very quickly.
Yang Zhiqing, who had always been inconspicuous like an old farmer, made Luo Yuan look at him with admiration.
Maybe he has made fishing nets before, and he is very good at weaving nets. Under his guidance, this rattan carpet finally looks like a real rattan carpet. The entire rattan carpet is evenly spaced, strong and durable, and compared to the previous rattan carpet. Yuan and others randomly pulled a few rattans and entangled them together to create a crude rattan blanket. This time it was like a work of art.
Because the back of the monitor lizard is very broad, the rattan blanket is also very large. A rough estimate is that it is about a hundred square meters. Of course, the weight is also extremely shocking. Not to mention other people, even Luo Yuan cannot pull it, at least it exceeds two tons. .
Finally, King Kong was summoned to cover the giant lizard with this huge vine blanket.
This project was huge, and by the time everything was finished, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, but Luo Yuan had no idea of camping here. This place is in an active plate area, whether it's the mutated birds whining above the clouds or the earthquake in the reconstruction area. The observed data has explained everything.
With the help of the hanging vines, everyone climbed onto the giant lizard at Luo Yuan's urging. When everyone sat down, Luo Yuan patted its head. The giant lizard snorted irritably and sprayed out bursts of lizard. Mars couldn't wait to stand up. If Luo Yuan hadn't deliberately controlled the speed of the giant lizard, it would have started running wildly at this time.
The night without stars and moon was as dark as ink. Even Luo Yuan could only see the vague outline of Motucheng, gradually fading away.
Looking at the ruins and thinking of the people waiting to migrate in the shelter below, he had a complicated expression.
…
From time to time, you can see towering electromagnetic towers on the road. However, these electromagnetic towers have been cut off from power due to the fall of this place, and now they have become a habitat for mutated insects.
When the two giant beasts passed by, countless insects flew up in fright.
The intimidation of the two giant beasts made the journey extremely smooth, and no mutated creature without eyes dared to come forward to provoke.
At four o'clock in the morning, a strange city gradually appeared in sight through the dim light of the morning sun.
