Time passed by, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief as they listened to the heavy footsteps gradually walking away.
From the time the mutated beast appeared to the time it left, within a few minutes, everyone seemed to have collapsed and lay motionless on the ground.
There are still roars of beasts outside, deafening, occasionally mixed with the sound of cannons and human screams. These sounds are like dark clouds that are constantly accumulating, making people feel heavy and breathless.
Luo Yuan continued to sit quietly with his eyes closed.
The silence in the basement was terrifying. After an unknown period of time, the sound of artillery outside gradually became more intense, and the muffled thunder from fighter jets streaking across the sky also began to sound. The whole city began to roar, and the density of war suddenly increased. Even in the In the basement, Luo Yuan could also smell the faint smell of gunpowder smoke.
"The army's firepower suddenly increased, and fighter planes were dispatched. It seems that the poisonous fog in the sky has disappeared." Luo Yuan said secretly, and then opened his eyes, his face was solemn.
Luo Yuan originally thought that once the fog cleared and the military began to exert force, the war would end soon. But in fact the war lasted from morning to afternoon. Even at night, there was no pause. Obviously the situation was far worse than Luo Yuan imagined.
Fighting at night is not only less efficient, but the casualties will also increase exponentially, but Hedong City is too important. Since the mutation, various parts of Jiangnan Province have gradually fallen. A large number of talents and factory equipment have flowed here like water. In just a short time In half a year, a new heavy industry base and scientific research base have been formed here. Once Hedong City falls, the entire Jiangnan Province will no longer have a foothold, and all areas will be occupied by greenery.
There was no shortage of food in the basement, but no one had an appetite. A few people ate something hastily and then huddled together in the corner again.
After dark, the basement gets even darker!
There was a slight itching on his face. Luo Yuan touched it gently. There were pits on the wounds. From the morning to now, for such a long time, the wounds had been covered with thin layers of blood scabs. With a light touch, I felt a twinge of pain.
As long as he is mentally normal, no one will not care about disfigurement. When he thinks about his face full of craters in the future, he will look ugly.
"Did you say it would end tomorrow?" In the darkness, Master Wang opened his eyes wide and asked timidly.
"Master, don't be afraid. Isn't the army already at war with mutants? It should be over by tomorrow morning. The garrison in Hedong City originally numbered around 100,000. In addition to the continuous recall of veterans in the past six months, now There are at least more than 200,000. Because of the fog and lax defense, the mutated beasts took advantage of them. Now that they have reacted, it will be easy to deal with the mutated beasts," Huang Jiahui said in a low voice.
"Brother Luo, Sister Huang, what you said is true!"
Luo Yuan was silent for a while and said: "Really! Maybe when you wake up tomorrow morning, it will be over."
Will it really end so soon? I don't know why, Luo Yuan always has a bad feeling.
If you think about it carefully, this time the beast tide was too sudden. As soon as Hedong City showed its flaws, the beast tide began to attack. If it was a coincidence, Luo Yuan would not believe it, because the probability was really low. Hard to believe. It's more like there is a mastermind directing all this.
As the mutated beasts become stronger, their wisdom is also evolving.
The intelligence of several mutant beasts Luo Yuan encountered has improved to varying degrees compared to native creatures. Although generally speaking, they are still at the level of intelligence of beasts, it is difficult to say that there have been mutations in the intelligence of creatures that have broken through the natural chasm of wisdom. , appeared highly intelligent, and could even control the beasts.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder. If all this was as he speculated, it would be terrible.
A highly intelligent creature similar to humans, this is far more terrifying than a physically powerful mutated creature a thousand or ten thousand times more terrifying.
Over millions of years, human beings have stood out from countless species and become the well-deserved top of the food chain on the earth. They have even begun to break out of the constraints of the earth and prepare to explore the stars. What we rely on is not our own weak strength, nor our dexterous hands, but wisdom, which seems to be nothing, but is more powerful and magnificent than actual strength. It is the driving force for the continuous development and evolution of human beings.
The emergence of a new intelligent race has made things even worse for the already struggling human beings.
Seeing Master Wang's face become calm after hearing Luo Yuan's confirmed answer, he sighed softly, as if his heart was entangled with layers of sticky cobwebs, making people unable to struggle.
As the night progresses, the sound of gunfire outside gradually becomes sparse...
…
The next day, Luo Yuan opened his eyes and moved the arms and thighs that were pressing on him one by one. He listened quietly for a while. The sound of artillery outside was like rolling thunder. The war seemed to be worse than the day before. It became even more intense, and even the pungent air smelling of gunpowder smoke carried a strong smell of blood.
Several women woke up one after another. When they heard the shaking of the ground outside, their originally rosy faces suddenly turned pale.
After a long time, Luo Yuan stood up and said, "I'll go outside and take a look!"
"You... be careful." Huang Jiahui was silent for a while before speaking out.
Luo Yuan nodded, silently holding the sword. As soon as he opened the wooden board in the basement, a wave of heat hit his face. He frowned slightly and walked out of the bathroom.
The entire villa was in a mess as if it had been blown by a level 12 typhoon. Deep footprints were left on the marble floor, huge holes were knocked out of several walls, and even a half-meter-diameter circular pillar in the hall was broken. The pillars in the shape were also broken by the giant beast, forming a V shape and struggling to support it. Several deep cracks have appeared in the ceiling, some of which can almost reach into the fist and are teetering on the verge of collapse.
But Luo Yuan just glanced at it and stopped paying attention.
Through the hole made by the giant beast, dilapidated buildings were everywhere in front. Black clouds in the distance were mixed with fiery red flames, rising from the ground and making a deafening sound.
He looked near the community, and the first thing he saw was a scrapped tank. It was overturned by something unknown, the thick armor on the surface was deeply dented, and the tracks were still idling.
At this time, a giant beast that was more than five meters tall and looked like a rhinoceros turned around a building covered in blood. It stumbled and took only a few steps when it was hit repeatedly by the cannons of fighter jets flying through the sky. , blood flowers kept splashing on it, and it let out a desperate roar. Not long after, it fell heavily to the ground, its whole body twitching.
After the battle, the fighter jet roared past the community at low altitude, but in an instant, it was hit hard by a boulder flying from an office building, and a fireball burst into mid-air.
A huge fiery red orangutan, like a high-ranking king, jumped heavily from the top of a high-rise office building with thick smoke, and it directly smashed a deep pit into the ground. It beat its chest vigorously, as if beating a dull drum, making a thumping sound.
This giant beast, which is about ten meters tall, has flame-like red hair. As its body moves, it seems to be burning with a layer of flames.
Luo Yuan took a deep breath and couldn't help but take a step back. Even though the giant beast was hundreds of meters away, he still felt the unbridled and terrifying aura. It seemed that even the air was particularly restless. This mutant beast It is definitely a deep blue level or even stronger.
A woman with bloodstains on her body had just rushed out of the burning office building, and was immediately frightened by the extremely violent aura and collapsed to the ground. Immediately afterwards, a strong wind blew by. Her body tightened and she was pinched by a huge palm. The next moment, she was stuffed into a bloody mouth. Luo Yuan could even hear the woman's desperate scream.
At this time, two fighter jets flew from a distance, arriving in an instant. The next moment, several fire snakes hit the giant beast heavily.
It covered its eyes with its palms and allowed countless aviation shells to hit its body, bursting out clusters of sparks. The terrifying impact made it keep retreating. It roared in pain, and after taking a few steps back, It finally stopped, but the next moment, a cluster air-to-ground missile streaked across the sky and hit the giant beast hard. Its huge body was instantly enveloped in a huge flame.
