Epoch of Twilight

Chapter 408: Absence

Views:

Since yesterday afternoon, a piece of news began to spread quietly in the Sharp Sword headquarters, and by the next morning, it had already spread like wildfire.

Yesterday morning, after their discussion, Luo Yuan and Ling Zhongan returned to the Sharp Sword headquarters.

Ling Zhongan's clothes were not made of high-strength materials. They had been crushed in the strong wind of the battle. Except for his pants, the upper half was barely left, and he was almost naked (harmony). Compared to Ling Zhongan, Luo Yuan was His clothes were neat and spotless, as if he had gone on an outing in the wild for a while.

In addition, the agreement between the two to fight before has been known to everyone. Now that this situation comes back and people see it, there is no need to guess.

It's just that this result is too shocking and unacceptable.

Who is Ling Zhongan? He is almost the spiritual pillar of the Sword Department, a natural leader, and the foundation of the existence of the Sword Department. His power has long been known to everyone, and he is as high as a god.

Many people even privately believe that he is mankind's last hope.

Now this spiritual pillar has been defeated, or at least not defeated. This news is so sensational that it makes people's faith collapse.

Originally, many people didn't pay much attention to the new deputy minister, and were repelled in their hearts. They even thought that it was just a political need from above, and that he was just a decoration, just like the minister.

Now, there was a sudden reversal. While everyone was shocked, the impression of this new minister in their hearts seemed to be covered with a mysterious veil, which caused endless reverie and awe.

Unfortunately, except for his appearance yesterday, the deputy minister suddenly disappeared and did not appear all morning.

Because Luo Yuan didn't go to the sharp sword department at all today, he set off from Hope City early in the morning and went to the wilderness.

The existence of extraterrestrial civilizations is like dark clouds over the city, storms are coming, and a red alarm has been sounded for the survival of mankind. Perhaps a sudden thought from extraterrestrial civilizations will cause mankind to become extinct, leaving little time for reconstruction areas.

However, reverse cracking of intelligent robots takes time, and technological development also needs to be gradual and cannot be achieved overnight.

The technological gap of one hundred years may seem insignificant, but in reality it is like a chasm.

Behind an inconspicuous technology is the support of an industrial system. If the smartphones of the early 21st century, including various technological theories, were placed in Britain and Germany, which were the most technologically advanced countries at the beginning of the 20th century, it would be impossible to do anything even with the help of the whole country. , seems like science fiction.

A hundred years ago, electricity was just beginning. Now it seems that crude radios that even high school students can make are the highest electronic technology. Even the most basic theory of computers has not yet appeared. The most primitive transistor invention is still more than thirty years away. In 2008, even if we skipped the original development process of transistors and electron tubes and directly copied integrated circuits and chips, the overall backwardness of industrial precision and optics made such copying a fantasy.

Without 30 to 40 years of rapid development, it would be impossible to succeed.

A hundred years later, compared to a hundred years ago, science and technology will develop more rapidly, increasing geometrically, and the gap will be even greater.

Even after the end of the world, many people will become intelligent evolvers and join the scientific research team, causing the development speed of science and technology to increase dramatically. Even if human beings are not complete copies, but only borrow superficial information from alien technology, just to form a certain ability to fight back, I think. There is little hope of success within one or two years.

Not only Luo Yuan understands this, but probably many people understand it. It is also impossible for the above to be unclear, but maybe it is the struggle before human despair, maybe it is with a slight hope, or maybe it is for the last dignity before the demise of human beings. , the reconstruction area still mobilizes all available forces to crack down on the technology of extraterrestrial civilizations.

Humanity is in danger, and under this desperate pressure, Luo Yuan seems to be as usual these days, talking and laughing freely, as if nothing has happened. However, at night, he often tosses and turns and has difficulty falling asleep. Several times he can't help but think about You need to take a few women and leave the reconstruction area immediately, find a remote cave in the wild, and live a life of raw materials and blood until you see the reconstruction area destroyed, human beings extinct, and the day comes when extraterrestrial civilizations leave.

But in the end Luo Yuan gave up. If he really did this, not only would Master Wang, who had always admired him, look down on him, but he might even look down on himself. He had to do something. Instead of living in pain in the future, it was better to give it a try now.

The warp flight gave him a glimmer of hope. Since his will reached eighteen, his speed has exceeded the first cosmic speed. Space is no longer out of reach for him.

Even now, he can completely enter space, but he can't survive for a long time.

Moreover, the characteristic of curvature flight forming an independent space makes him semi-detached from the three dimensions and immune to all attacks he has seen so far. Although Luo Yuan is not sure about high-energy lasers, this is at least a hope.

He must become stronger in a short period of time, with stronger physical strength, stronger will, stronger wisdom and stronger agility, and the endless wilderness is the material for making him stronger.

The last time he went to Borneo, he just passed by in a hurry, and when he encountered the mission, he just took it casually, but now he had to take the initiative to search for it.

The warp flight speed was extremely fast. In less than twenty minutes, and the speed was far from the limit, he had already reached the land of Sichuan and Sichuan. This was the area with the most high-level mutant beasts he had ever seen, and even eighth-level creatures were everywhere. .

Luo Yuan tied the bandage on his forehead and quickly fell from the air and landed on the branch.

He took a deep breath and jumped off the branch. He was not afraid of getting lost at all, he chose a direction at will and moved forward quickly.

He was lucky. He had only left for half an hour when mission information came from the system. A few minutes later, Luo Yuan gently pushed aside the vines hanging down like a python, looked into the distance, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

This is a huge beast, about thirty meters tall and fifty or sixty long. It is covered in armor similar to a rhinoceros. However, compared with a rhinoceros, its armor is thick, ferocious, and its overgrown body is small compared to its size. of spikes.

Perhaps before it mutated, its prototype was a cow. On its inverted triangular head, there was a pair of cyan twisted horns, pointing straight towards the sky like two sharp swords. Biologically speaking, it has long horns and strong defense. , generally vegetarian.

However, mutated organisms are often difficult to understand with common sense. Intense and frequent evolution causes species to explode in a short period of time. In addition, without long years of baptism and selection, some creatures that contradict common sense often appear.

Judging from its wide mouth, which was as wide as a double bed and full of sharp teeth, and the fresh blood stains at the corners of its mouth, it was obvious that it was not a vegetarian.

At this time, it was full of food and drink, lying quietly in the shade of the tree, taking a nap, completely unaware that danger was about to come.

A week ago, facing this terrifying creature, Luo Yuan had to approach it cautiously. He had to do everything possible to avoid arousing its alertness before approaching the attack range. Moreover, he repeatedly tested it with foresight, and only attacked suddenly when he was sure that there was no danger.

Now Luo Yuan didn't need it at all. He just calmed down his breath, stepped lightly, and walked towards it with a calm face.

As he walked, his heart slowed down rapidly and entered the pulsating state of the earth.

One thousand meters, five hundred meters, three hundred meters...

Perhaps the movement caused by Luo Yuan was too insignificant, and it was still dozing off.

But Luo Yuan had already stopped, his foot suddenly lifted up, and then he stepped down hard.

Fountain of the earth!

There was a loud bang, and the giant beast's body shook. It suddenly opened its violent eyes and let out a shrill roar. It stood up suddenly. However, as soon as it stood up, its body shook, its limbs became weak, and it fell down. land.

Immediately, a large amount of blood, mixed with internal organs fragments, overflowed from the mouth and nostrils.

Luo Yuan's eyes were calm. When he saw this, he raised his foot again. This time, the beast's throat crackled and it could no longer make a sound. Therefore, this time the blood no longer overflowed slowly, but gushed out like a torrent. A strong fishy smell suddenly filled the air.

Since the last resonance, the perception increased by two points in one fell swoop, and the level of Earth Trample has also increased to level seven.

Because this improvement is about perception, apart from the fact that the range of the trampling of the earth is 20 to 30 times larger, the destructive power per unit area has not been increased much. However, the earth fountain is a concentrated burst of the total energy of the earth trampling, so its power is fully improved. Twenty or thirty times.

Faced with this terrifying attack, even this powerful seventh-level mutated creature was unable to resist and was directly shaken to pieces.

Luo Yuan continued to release the earth fountain twice more, and then exited the earth pulsation state.

At this time, the giant beast was completely dying, and only the instinctive twitching of the body was left. For the sake of safety, and also to save time, Luo Yuan drew out his saber, and his body quickly approached like a phantom. The next moment, the light of the sword was like a rainbow penetrating the sun, Split its head open with a knife, wiping out its last vitality, and then took out the energy crystal core from the heart and swallowed it.

Within a minute or two, the system's message of completing the mission had already been transmitted. Luo Yuan put the knife into its sheath, and after a few ups and downs, disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye. As for the materials on the seventh-level mutant beast, Luo Yuan had already I can't stand it anymore.

At nine o'clock, Luo Yuan once again found a level 7 mutant beast, but this time, the opponent was not lying down. It was a hungry predator ready to hunt.

The mutated creature in this state was several times more alert and dangerous than the giant beast that had just eaten and drank, but it was only a little troublesome for him at this time.

After carefully approaching the distance, it is still the fountain of the earth!

Because of the huge size of this level of giant beast, there is often a distance of more than ten or twenty meters between the belly and the ground, and the belly is attacked directly. During the air transmission process of the earth fountain, a large amount of power is dissipated, and the power is suddenly reduced, which is tantamount to scratching the itch.

So the target of this attack is the limbs.

The next moment, one of its front legs, which was as thick as a support pillar of a building, suddenly exploded with flesh and blood and turned into a bloody mist. Unprepared, it fell to its knees and fell to the ground. The weight of thousands of tons made the earth tremble. Click.

Before it could stand up, Luo Yuan seized the opportunity, aimed at its weak belly, and struck three earth fountains in succession, and finally struck the owl's head with a knife.

At both ends, Luo Yuan leaned against the tree and looked at the experience. It had reached 275920/307200.

Just complete one more mission to level up.

However, Luo Yuan's luck seemed to have run out. Until almost noon, he did not find a level seven mutant beast. However, Luo Yuan was not impatient. He completed two tasks in one morning. It was already very fast. Compared with before, it was simply It's so fast.

Luo Yuan went in circles all the way, wandering aimlessly in the jungle.

Unconsciously, he looked around and it seemed vaguely familiar, as if he had been here before. However, he had a very strong memory and had a photographic memory. He recalled it carefully for a while, and suddenly remembered that this was when he discovered A place with ghost faces and horses.

Immediately, he looked in a certain direction again, his face slightly absent-minded. The mutant's hometown must be over there!
