In the middle of the night, Luo Yuan suddenly felt palpitations.
He opened his eyes suddenly and remained motionless. After a long time, a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes. This time, the heart palpitations came out of nowhere, and disappeared in an instant, leaving no trace, as if it was a complete illusion just now.
He listened alertly to the movements outside. From time to time, dull beastly roars like sirens came from a distant place. The roars were very far away. The source of his heart palpitations should not be those roaring beasts, but other than that, he did not Discover anything unusual.
"Did you really have a hallucination?"
Looking at Huang Jiahui and Wang Shishi who were sleeping soundly next to him, he felt a little doubtful.
Then sleepiness slowly came back, and Luo Yuan fell into a deep sleep again, but the handle of the knife in his hand tightened again.
A restless night!
Early the next morning, everyone woke up one after another. The weather outside was gloomy and it seemed that it was about to rain.
After Luo Yuan had lunch, he looked at the sky. Since he was going to live here permanently, he had to check around to see if there were any dangerous mutant beasts.
Only five days later, the plants in the community became more lush. The original park has become a lush grassland. The height of the grass is almost close to Luo Yuan's chest. The few scattered small trees have become thicker. In a circle, each one has lush branches and leaves, forming huge umbrella canopies.
Since the beast tide passed, without human interference, the power of nature has begun to expand at an explosive speed, and the traces of human beings have quickly begun to fade.
Luo Yuan suspected that if no external force intervened, it would not be long before this place would be almost like the wild.
He pressed the hilt of the knife and cautiously walked forward in the grass step by step. There were rustling sounds all around him, and he knew without even thinking about how many mutant creatures were hidden here.
Suddenly, a yellow and black beetle shot toward Luo Yuan like a sharp sword.
A bright light flashed away, and the beetle let out a weird scream, split its body into two halves, and fell to the ground.
This is already the fifteenth attack Luo Yuan has encountered.
A breeze blew by, causing the grass to sway like waves and make a slight rustling sound. It was full of dangers, and it seemed that a new attack was brewing.
"If we want to live here, we must not keep the plants here."
Luo Yuan remembered that there was a lot of diesel and gasoline in the basement. When Huang Yueying came to get the supplies, these things were not touched at all. The grass could be burned with fuel.
At this time, he felt as if he had guessed a hard object on his foot. When he lowered his head, he saw that it was a human skull. Different from the ordinary white skull, this skull was a little black. He should have died of poisoning. Luggage was scattered around the skeleton. The floor was covered with several shabby clothes exposed from the zipper of the luggage, one of which was a child's clothes.
Luo Yuan felt sad. He pushed aside the grass and found that there was more than one skeleton here. Then, Luo Yuan could see a corpse almost every few steps he took. Some bones were normal in color, some were pitch black, and some were blue. , the color was so weird that it made him feel chilly in his heart!
God knows how many people died in this area.
Luo Yuan lowered his head to pick up an unopened bottle of mineral water from the ground. He was about to take it back when his hand suddenly stopped. He saw that the water was covered with bugs. These bugs were so small that they were almost indistinguishable to the naked eye. Their bodies were long and slender. Color, with layers of whorls like earthworms, he felt his scalp numb, and looked at the bottle cap, which had a small hole.
Luo Yuan threw him far away with all his strength.
This place was full of dangers, and he would be attacked if he was not careful, so he became highly vigilant.
As long as you are careful, the mutant beasts here cannot get close to him.
Half an hour later, Luo Yuan walked through the grass and walked out somewhere else.
Most of the entire community has been destroyed, with only a few buildings left. Several huge footprints were deeply sunk into the cement floor, and bones and blood were scattered all over the ground nearby. Unfortunately, the owner of one of the skeletons was under the footprints and had been shattered into pieces, leaving only the feet on the sides intact.
The only thing not there are rotting corpses. Any corpse will be eaten up by low-level creatures such as mutated insects in less than half an hour here.
Several lonely buildings are scattered among the ruins. Except for a few villas that are relatively well-preserved, most of the high-rise buildings are full of cracks. However, the best-preserved one is in Close to the park.
Next to the villa is a huge locust tree that can be hugged by three people. The branches tens of meters high form a huge green umbrella, covering the villa. Even in the distance, Luo Yuan can Smelling a refreshing fragrance from this giant locust tree gave him a strange sense of pleasure, giving him the urge to get closer and keep smelling it.
A smile appeared on his face.
"This is it. Once the grass nearby is cleared, we can move in."
When Luo Yuan walked to the villa, the aroma became even stronger. Unlike ordinary fragrances, this aroma did not give people a pungent feeling even if it was strong. Instead, it gave a sense of comfort that relieved stress, and it felt all over the body. A moment of relaxation.
The door of the villa is open.
Luo Yuan walked in, and several palm-sized mutated cockroaches disappeared in the corner as if frightened.
There is a dusty wedding photo in the living room. In the photo, a middle-aged groom with a big belly and a beautiful young bride hug each other and smile with sweet smiles on their faces.
Luo Yuan found that except for the dust everywhere, the inside was quite intact. The owner disappeared in a hurry. He saw a few dishes on the table that had green hair on them and couldn't tell what they were. Side dishes, including two bowls of half-eaten rice, they were obviously still eating before leaving.
At this time, Luo Yuan felt vaguely that something was wrong, as if he had overlooked something. But this sudden thought was like looking at flowers in the mist or fishing for the moon in the water. He couldn't catch it, so Luo Yuan gave up after thinking about it.
This villa was larger than the original villa, with a total of five bedrooms on the third floor, a fitness room, a study room, and a piano room. Finally, Luo Yuan found the basement in a storage room, but Luo Yuan was shocked. The strange thing is that this is actually a bedroom, with a water bed in it. The bedside table is full of adult products, many of which Luo Yuan has never seen before.
The wardrobe opposite was open, filled with a wardrobe of various uniforms and sexy lingerie.
Other than that, the place is empty, with no supplies at all.
Luo Yuan couldn't help but smile. Finally, he found five bags of grain and scattered supplies in the kitchen cabinet, but it was better than nothing. Anyway, there were several villas nearby, so supplies could always be found.
… … … …
By the time Luo Yuan walked out of the villa, it was already raining lightly. It looked like it might not stop raining for a while, which made Luo Yuan's original plan to burn the grass in the afternoon a failure.
Luo Yuan dropped a white grade mutant beast in his hand, and everyone gathered around to take a strange look.
This is a mutant rat, but it is not the same as the one encountered in Donghu City. The size has changed again, or it has evolved in another direction. Its body looks slender, its tail is much shorter, and it is covered with fine black shiny scales. Its head is larger, its nostrils have a three-dimensional effect, and its fangs are staggered, making it look quite ferocious.
This mutated beast was so alive that it rushed over to Luo Yuan on his way back, and he cut off half of its head with a knife, which was just enough to add to his lunch.
"Don't catch a cold." Huang Jiahui handed over the towel and complained.
Luo Yuan smiled. With his current physique, especially after improving a little through the system, his physique has undergone fundamental changes. His genes may even be different from those of ordinary people. This little bit of rain has no effect on him. Words don't mean anything at all, but there is nothing easy to explain about these things.
Luo Yuan took the towel and wiped his hair. As for the clothes, there was no need to change at all. The clothes were made of black owl feathers and had an oil film on the surface, just like bird feathers that are impervious to water and dust-free. Even if you soak it in water and wash it, as long as you shake it a few times, the clothes will be dry immediately!
"How is it outside?" Huang Jiahui looked at Luo Yuan and asked.
People around him pricked up their ears.
Luo Yuan pondered for a moment: "Except for paying attention to some poisonous low-level mutant creatures, there is basically not much danger, but it is best not to go out before the grass in the park is cleared."
This is to him, if they go out, except Wang Shishi, I am afraid that no one will survive.
The reason why Luo Yuan said this was that the fear born from the cruel truth would directly destroy their courage.
… …
After lunch, Luo Yuan, who had nothing to do on a rainy day, walked to the open space in front of the villa and began to practice his sword. After taking a tour, he felt calmer and relaxed a little, and his sword skills also changed with his mood. It became more fluid, and the will began to condense easily, and the time to condense was actually a little faster than usual.
The pupils became dark and deep, and then a layer of brilliance visible to the naked eye glowed faintly on his blade.
After accumulating dozens of skill points, Luo Yuan's sword skills have entered the room and begun to enter the legendary realm.
The sword light may be different from the sword light in the novel, but its power is not weaker than the sword light in the novel. However, one consumes true energy, while the other consumes will.
A powerful aura spread out from his body, which was more obscure and deeper than the one he had used casually in the air-raid shelter before. The people who were originally prepared to watch the excitement suddenly suffocated, their faces completely lost their color, and even their breathing became heavy. When he reacted, he hurriedly backed away. When he looked at Luo Yuan again, there was already a deep look of fear on his face.
Luo Yuan was focused on nothing else. While performing his sword skills, he felt his will extending along the sword.
The raindrops fell from the sky, and before they hit the blade, they were crushed into molecules or even atoms. Each time it was crushed, the will began to consume a little bit, but this consumption was insignificant, far less than cutting down on the mutant beast. Or consumption of metal.
After a while, his hair was wet again.
Luo Yuan frowned and stopped.
"It still doesn't work!" Luo Yuan shook his head. When he killed the mutated earthworm, the sword light spread all over his body. Not only was the sword attached with a layer of glowing sword light, but even the surface of the body was covered with a layer of light. Layers of brilliance. But then no matter what kind of practice, fighting. But they can never reach the previous state, as if there is a thin veil between the two, always separated by a layer, just out of reach.
"I was very angry at that time, and my mind went blank. I didn't even know what I was doing." He closed his eyes and recalled the situation at that time.
"It shouldn't be possible to be blank... It is a state of relaxation and relaxation of the will. If the will is not condensed, the will will never affect reality at all."
If we describe the will of a country, the will of ordinary people is like anarchy, without goals, free and undisciplined, drifting with the wind and rain;
A country with a little more cohesion of will is a democratic country with a unified political power and its own goals. The country is stable, but there are various voices below and the thoughts are wavering.
What is more concentrated is a highly centralized government, a powerful political power, a unified mind, and unity of mind, which can make the impossible possible. This kind of regime must be feared even by its enemy countries that are stronger than it, because its power is highly integrated and can In war, it exerts ten times a hundred times its power.
Taoist cultivation emphasizes that the heart is like a pure child and the nature is like a baby, because such people have simple thoughts, do not have so many distracting thoughts, and concentrate on doing things. Whether they are practicing or doing things, they can often achieve success. In other words, most successful people are paranoid.
"That's anger. That kind of rage, regardless of the situation, makes the will unprecedentedly concentrated, and there are no more distracting thoughts." Luo Yuan recalled the situation at that time, and his eyes lit up.
But knowing is one thing, and wanting to implement it is another. It is obviously not a simple thing to make a person become angry out of thin air.
Luo Yuan had been brewing for a while, but he always felt that his emotions were not brewing enough, and it was difficult for him to reach the state where he was so angry that he could kill quickly and quickly. The condensed sword light was slightly stronger than before, but it was obviously still a level lower.
He also knew that he was a little eager to achieve success, but he had grasped the direction and practiced slowly, and he would eventually be able to achieve his goal one day.
At this moment, Luo Yuan suddenly felt like he was being spied on. His hair stood on end, like a gleam on his back. He felt a chill in his heart and quickly turned around to look. There seemed to be a faint shadow flickering away.
His expression changed, and the next moment, he stepped hard, and his body pulled out a long channel in the rain curtain, heading straight towards the place where the figure disappeared.
