A building fell sideways on the opposite street, blocking the entire road. Luo Yuan stood at the intersection, looking around with an ugly face, gritted his teeth, and turned around to walk to another street. go.
In just a few days, the entire city has become unrecognizable. There are collapsed buildings everywhere, a thick layer of dust has accumulated on the road, and a pile of white human skeletons lie beside the road. Eight pieces of cloth were scattered, and a few pieces of broken cloth stained with dark black blood were blown around by the breeze. As soon as Luo Yuan and his party approached, a group of black beetles the size of fingernails scattered out from under the pile of bones, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Several low-level mutated creatures passed by nearby, and sometimes a few boldly stopped, staring at Luo Yuan and the group with their blood-red eyes, eager to try.
An indescribable rancid smell filled the entire city.
Dead silence and desolation!
If it weren't for the roars of beasts that could be heard in the distance from time to time, this place would have almost turned into a ghost town.
Along the way, Luo Yuan basically didn't encounter a large creature, but it didn't mean it didn't exist. Several areas in the distance exude this depressing atmosphere. Obviously, these powerful creatures have redefined their territory in the past few days. Just like the area he is in now, it is where a dark blue level creature is located. Earth, this aura is everywhere in this area, like a depressing cloud covering the soul, making people want to turn around and run away.
This aura is too far away for ordinary people to detect. Their senses are too low and their spiritual senses are dull. Even if they walk in the territory of the most powerful mutant beast, they will feel no pressure. This is why low-level mutant beasts can be seen everywhere living in this area, but there is no light blue-level creature at all.
Among these people, only Wang Shishi could feel it, but only slightly. Apart from being a little irritable, there were no other abnormalities.
Luo Yuan would never want to take this road if necessary, but the mutant beast's territory is too large, covering five or six square kilometers. If he bypasses it, he will not only have to walk an extra journey. What's more, those who can live next to such mutated beasts are also not good people.
In fact, according to the classification of mutant beast levels, Luo Yuan is already qualified to be evaluated as a light blue-level creature. Of course, due to the weapons, Luo Yuan's combat power is already comparable to that of blue-level creatures.
It is quite risky for such a light blue creature to enter the territory of a dark blue creature, but sitting still for a long time is not ineffective, especially after mastering the sword skill, he can already control his own will skillfully. Be familiar with the changes in momentum.
He tried hard to keep all the distracting thoughts deep in his mind, lest he be noticed by the other party, so that several low-level mutated creatures on the road began to be eager to try.
With Luo Yuan by her side, Master Wang was not afraid of these low-level creatures. With a movement of her mind, a shuttle with sharp ends flew overhead.
"Don't do it!" Luo Yuan quickly stopped him in a low voice: "Let's get through here quickly."
"What's wrong?" Huang Jiahui looked at Luo Yuan in confusion. Only then did she realize that Luo Yuan's forehead was already covered with sweat, and his face was ugly and scary. She felt a shiver in her heart. Although she didn't know that Luo Yuan could have such an emotion. Something happened, but I also knew that something terrible must have been discovered.
"Boss Luo, don't scare me?" Huo Dong had a stiff smile on his face, trying to adjust the atmosphere, but his voice trembled involuntarily.
Luo Yuan glanced at everyone, his face as dark as water: "Although I don't want to say it, I can only tell you with regret that there should be a terrifying creature here. Even I can only turn around and run away when I see it, and we are about to Pass through the area here, so no one can make a sound from now on, and we run through it quickly."
"Then...then why don't we take a detour?" Ning Xiaoran stammered. This quiet girl was obviously frightened by this solemn atmosphere.
"Beasts all have territories. This is the most dangerous place, but conversely, it is also the safest. Have you noticed that these low-level mutant beasts are everywhere here. In the eyes of that powerful mutant beast, we may There is no essential difference from these mutant rats, and it is even more insignificant. If you are lucky, you may not attract the attention of the powerful mutant beast." Another woman in the team suddenly said.
Luo Yuan couldn't help but be a little surprised. He could see that the other party was not afraid. Her expression looked very stiff, and her strength was just a disguise on the surface. But even if she fell into fear, her mind remained clear, which surprised Luo Yuan.
Seeing Luo Yuan's gaze, Cao Lin couldn't help but feel excited and puffed out her chest.
Cao Lin was the manager of the company's planning department before her death. In just five years after graduating from university, she was able to step up from an ordinary employee to a middle-level and senior-level position in the company amid fierce competition. Her abilities and skills are certainly worthy of praise, and more importantly What's special is that she can express herself at critical moments every time and leave a deep impression on the senior management.
As a woman, she has natural disadvantages in the apocalypse. She is not very powerful, cannot run fast, and is not an evolver. Many times it is the fate of being abandoned. If it were more beautiful, the ending might be more tragic.
If the pressure of competition is far from what it was before the end of the world, she wants to live, and she doesn't even mind sacrificing her body if necessary.
The other party already has two women, but at least this person doesn't look annoying, and he respects women. This is enough. What else can you ask for in the end of the world? Women of her age, Relationships have long been a luxury. If it weren't for the end of the world, a blind date and then a quick marriage would be her final destination. And there is no love in such a marriage. In fact, her family has arranged several blind dates for her before. .
Unfortunately, he has always kept away from the women in the team and has not even had much contact with them.
Sun Xiaowu didn't want to be compared by a woman, especially a beautiful woman, so he laughed dryly: "Maybe that mutated beast is full and looks down on us who are stuffed with teeth."
"I'll just listen to the boss. At least he won't hurt me." Chen Xianfeng smiled dullly and touched the dagger at his waist. He picked up the dagger on the road and didn't know who left it behind in the panic. The one he placed was immediately treated as a treasure by him.
"Since everyone has no doubts, let's go." After waiting for a while, Luo Yuan whispered after everyone had finished speaking.
Everyone quickly set off again, and several low-level mutant beasts that were still eager to try were frightened and dispersed by the sudden actions of a few people.
The street was quiet except for the chaotic footsteps and heavy breathing of a few people. Suddenly Luo Yuan raised his hand and made a gesture. The team immediately stopped. Under the nervous eyes of everyone, Luo Yuan turned his head as if Listening to something.
Immediately, he turned around and ran. A few seconds later, he entered an alley and his speed gradually increased.
Although everyone was puzzled, no one had any doubts, and everything seemed silent.
After a while, a dull and rhythmic sound gradually came from a distance. At first, it was a little faint, as if coming from afar, but soon the sound became louder and louder, and the sound was huge, nearby. Buildings continued to collapse, even the ground shook.
Ning Xiaoran couldn't help but look back, only to see a puff of smoke rising from nearby. A ferocious giant loomed in the smoke. She could even see the high bulge of black bone spurs on its back and a pair of deformed bones. wings.
"Oh my god!" She groaned unconsciously, and then she covered her mouth tightly, lest she scream. The fear in her heart was like a beast in the wilderness, running unscrupulously. To make matters worse, her hands and feet began to weaken. Some of them were disobedient and almost collapsed to the ground.
"I can't be afraid, I don't want to die, Xiaoran, you can do it."
She was cruel and bit her lip hard. The sharp stinging gave her body a new strength. She ignored the smell of blood in her mouth and forgot that she was dizzy. She looked at the person running out in front of her. The team, which was more than ten meters long, panicked and quickly quickened their pace.
Luo Yuan and the others ran for several minutes and finally crossed the alley and walked onto another street. He glanced around cautiously, closed his eyes again, and slowly opened them after a while. Seeing everyone looking at him anxiously and nervously, not even daring to take a breath, he showed a relaxed smile: " It has left, it should be looking for food, and then we will be safe, at least this section of the road is safe.”
Everyone looked exhausted, and it was obvious that they could no longer run. After all, not everyone had such strong physical strength as him, and under fear and tension, their physical strength was depleted rapidly. Luo Yuan looked at his watch and saw that it was still early. , then said: "Then take a five-minute rest."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.
Ning Xiaoran spent the rest of her life in great sorrow and joy, and started crying. After crying for a few times, she felt a little embarrassed and quickly wiped her tears. Her clothes had obviously been worn for a long time, and there were stains everywhere. In addition, there was still blood on his lips, and after wiping them, his whole face turned into a big painted face.
Huang Jiahui smiled slightly, took out a wet towel from her bag, and handed it over: "Wipe your face."
"Thank you, thank you!" Ning Xiaoran stood up quickly, took the towel, and thanked her shyly.
"This is my towel." Wang Shishi, a child with a childish nature, muttered a little dissatisfied when Huang Jiahui took the wrong towel.
Ning Xiaoran had sharp ears and quickly thanked Master Wang again, but Master Wang was at a loss and turned red in the face.
Luo Yuan smiled, and then his expression suddenly changed, and he drew out his long knife like lightning. The light of the knife flashed away, and then a dark red thing plopped down from the air and fell to the ground. This little thing was obviously not dead yet. The body that was broken into two parts kept twisting and turning, making it look like an ant with a pair of transparent wings.
"This seems to be a mutated ant?" Huo Dong took a closer look and saw that it was struggling: "This thing is really tenacious. Even if it is cut into two pieces, it will not die."
As he spoke, he subconsciously raised his foot to crush it to death.
Luo Yuan didn't pay attention, but soon he noticed that Huo Dong's face turned red. He stepped on the ant hard, but found that he couldn't step on it. The ant's carapace was so hard.
Luo Yuan thought of something, his face changed, and he said loudly: "Pick up your feet."
Huo Dong panicked and quickly lifted his feet up, only to see the sharp mouthparts of the ants biting at the soles of his shoes. Not long after, the soles of the entire pair of sneakers were already bitten to pieces. , if it weren’t for the fact that he was short and had booster pads on the soles of his shoes for the sake of image, he might have bitten the flesh.
Huo Dong swung his feet repeatedly, but that half of his body seemed to be stuck to the sole and could not be shaken off. The calmness on his face could no longer be maintained. He begged Luo Yuan with a mournful face: "Luo... Boss Luo, come here quickly." Help take this thing off!"
"Don't move." Luo Yuan shouted lowly.
Huo Dong stopped his panic movements. Before he was ready, the next moment, he saw a bright light flash. He quickly lowered his head and saw that the entire sole of the shoe, along with the ants on half of his body, had been cut off with a knife.
Luo Yuan turned over the shaved half of the sole with the tip of the knife, and took a breath of cold air. He saw that the entire plastic where the mouthpart had been bitten was constantly corroding.
"Its mouthparts may be highly toxic. If you don't want your feet to rot, it's best to throw away this shoe and don't come into contact with these weird creatures with your body in the future." Luo Yuan stood up and warned.
Huo Dong was so frightened that his face turned pale. He quickly took off his shoes and threw them far away.
