Epoch of Twilight

A white towel was wrapped around Huo Dong's head, and he tied his neck tightly with a piece of sleeve. Dressed like an Arab, then he carefully tied the trouser legs with a straw rope with trembling hands, jumped on the spot, and then checked again.

He was sure he had never been so cautious in his life.

He touched the clothes and trousers, felt the hard and rough texture on his hands, and felt a little relieved. These clothes have been strengthened by Boss Luo's superpower, making them invulnerable, even if they are bitten by a first-level mutant beast for half an hour. It can't bite through.

Although he hadn't tried it, of course he hoped that he would never have the chance to try it.

He took out the only remaining pack of Yellow Crane Tower 1916, and was about to light a cigarette to relieve the pressure. There were only five cigarettes left in the pack, and except for a few for Luo Yuan, no one else had ever shared. He didn't think these people would bring him any benefits. In fact, he looked down on these people from the bottom of his heart.

Before the end of the world, he was an agent, and he was also a boss. Although he was not worth mentioning compared to the previous billionaire, he was not at the same level as these white-collar migrant workers.

However, at this moment, he hesitated, and generously distributed one to everyone. This is not the time to be stingy, this action is very dangerous, in case something happens, forming a good relationship can sometimes play a key role.

Chen Xianfeng took the cigarette and sniffed it greedily, touched his pocket, slowly took out a lighter, lit it on fire, and took a greedy puff. He didn't spit it out for a long time, his face full of intoxication.

Huo Dong glanced at Chen Xianfeng vaguely, forced a smile and said, "We are all on the same kang, and we will help each other when the time comes."

Sun Xiaowu said carelessly: "It goes without saying that anyone who is in danger must immediately support him. If anyone runs away, don't blame me for not giving him face."

"I also agree, even if we don't pursue it, I don't think the boss can tolerate such a person." Zhao Gang also said immediately.

Thinking of Luo Yuan's indifferent attitude that night, Huo Dong's heart shuddered, and the original small calculation was quickly dismissed.

As for Chen Xianfeng next to him, he was squatting on the ground, smoking a cigarette in a muffled face, and remained silent.

After one cigarette was burned out, everyone tacitly picked up the simple spear made by dismantling the triangle iron from the shelf, and walked out of the villa with a watering can full of gasoline.

The grassland not only obstructs the line of sight, it is also a breeding ground for mutated creatures. It is extremely dangerous for ordinary people to live nearby. If Luo Yuan and the others want to live here, they must first solve this problem. However, the area of ​​the community park is too large. Using up all the fuel is just a drop in the bucket, and if you don't clean up and maintain frequently afterwards, it won't be long before a new grass will reappear.

Neither gasoline nor human energy is nearly enough.

So Luo Yuan decided to narrow down the target and clean up the grass around the villa first. This time Luo Yuan didn't plan to do it himself, but handed over this task to these newcomers.

It is impossible to grow without experiencing danger. And he didn't want to support these people for nothing. If he didn't even dare to take such a small risk, he could only be completely disappointed in them. Fortunately, they still had some courage, or wisdom, and agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Originally, Luo Yuan planned to let all these women go, but Huang Jiahui stopped him, so Luo Yuan thought about it and let it go.

Women are naturally weak in battle. Some people don't even dare to kill a chicken. Let them follow. That is no longer an adventure, but a death. This kind of thing can only be done slowly.

...

On the second floor of the old villa, Luo Yuan looked at the group of people in the distance through the window that had long lost its glass.

The four of them were extremely cautious, even overly cautious. Every time there was a disturbance, they would be frightened and stood still, their faces as pale as dead people. Luo Yuan was a little interested at the beginning, but after watching it for a while, the meaning became dull, it was too boring.

"We are running out of water." At this moment, Huang Jiahui said suddenly.

"How did you use it so quickly?" Luo Yuan asked in surprise.

"Except for washing your face, brushing your teeth, and the water left in the water heater for washing vegetables, you use mineral water for cooking and cooking, and you drink a bottle of water every day. Even if you save money, you still need to use half a box of water every day. , we won't last for a few days." Huang Jiahui said worriedly.

"How many are left now?"

"There's only half a box left." Huang Jiahui said softly.

Luo Yuan looked out the window and said, "I'll figure out how to do this. I'll go out in the afternoon. There should be a lot of mineral water in those uninhabited houses outside."

Huang Jiahui hesitated to speak, hesitated for a long time before saying: "I mean, why don't we leave here, the water here has been polluted, even if we can find mineral water now, we will use up all of it one day It's over, now Hedong City has been abandoned, and there will be no more support. In the future, there will be fewer people living here. In the end, the entire Hedong City will become a wilderness. Do we live here for the rest of our lives? "

Luo Yuan was silent for a long time: "Then where do you think it would be safer to go?"

"The capital!" Huang Jiahui spat out two words.

"It's more than a thousand kilometers away from here!" Luo Yuan said calmly: "I don't know what kind of danger will happen on the road, and do you think the highway can still pass now? God, can you safely get through the danger in the middle!"

"But it won't be safe here for long!"

"But at least it's safe now." Luo Yuan stopped suddenly, no matter how good the reason was, he couldn't hide his weakness. He knew that he was cowardly, just like the choices of those who remained in the air-raid shelter. He knew that Hedong City would become more and more dangerous, but he turned a blind eye because of the temporary peace.

At this time, Wang Shishi's cry broke the dispute between the two.

"It's burning, there are so many mutant beasts, how many mutant beasts are hidden in this grassland!" Wang Shishi yelled, completely ignoring the pale faces of the other women.

Jin Meili clasped her hands tightly, the knuckles on the back of her hands turned white. Seeing countless mutated beasts running wildly, and seeing some even pounced in Zhao Gang's direction, she couldn't help but tremble all over nervously. Eyes, mouth open and close quickly.

Luo Yuan's five senses are keen, and when she heard her, she was praying for the blessing of the Bodhisattva.

"Ah, Sun Xiaowu was bitten." Ning Xiaoran groaned, with horror in his eyes.

Luo Yuan looked over there through the window, and saw Sun Xiaowu lying on the ground, an insect the size of a puppy was biting its trousers tightly, Sun Xiaowu was obviously panicked, and the spear in his hand was poking wildly, But because of nervousness, every time I failed. His crotch was wet, and he was so frightened that he lost control of his urine.

The few people around hesitated for a moment, then quickly supported this side with their spears.

A few spears poked back and forth, but they were not accurate at all. These people had never practiced this kind of thing, and they were afraid of accidental injury and did not dare to use force. They did not kill the mutated insect for a long time. In the end, it was Chen Xianfeng. He smashed the spear like a stick, and finally rescued Sun Xiaowu.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a scorched mutated rat rushed over frantically, jumped high and bit Zhao Gang's throat.

His face was horrified, and he subconsciously raised his hand to block it. The mutated mouse bit his arm, and the remaining momentum directly threw Zhao Gang, whose hands and feet were already weak, to the ground. Zhao Gang screamed and shook his arm again and again, but this kind The mutated rat is obviously quite fierce, once it bites, it will die and will not let go.

"Ah, Zhao Gang was bitten too!" Ning Xiaoran said again.

Are you broadcasting live? Luo Yuan glared at her, Ning Xiaoran shut her mouth in fright.

When Jin Meili heard that something happened to Zhao Gang, her body trembled, and she quickly opened her eyes. Seeing that Zhao Gang was thrown to the ground by the mutant mouse, she was stunned, her body was shaking, and she was about to faint. Anxiously begged Luo Yuan: "Brother Luo, please, go and save Zhao Gang!"

Luo Yuan sighed secretly, and shook his head: "The only ones who can save them are themselves. If they can't even deal with this difficulty, even if they survive today, they won't be able to live for a few days."

"Don't be nervous, the mutated mouse can't bite through Zhao Gang's clothes at all, he's fine." Huang Jiahui had also seen the clothes that Luo Yuan synthesized this time, and it was more like armor than clothes. It just looks dangerous now.

Jin Meili shook her head in despair, suddenly fell to her knees, and kowtowed heavily, the ground was thumped by her, and soon stained with blood: "Brother Luo, I know you are a good person, you are a good person and will help you to the end." , save his life, and we will repay you later."

Luo Yuan felt compassion in his heart, and was about to agree, when the outside situation changed again.

Sun Xiaowu, who had just been rescued, felt that his previous behavior was a bit embarrassing, and he became angry from embarrassment. Seeing that Zhao Gang was bitten, without even thinking about it, he rushed forward and grabbed the mutated rat by the throat.

In this atmosphere of killing, Huo Dong forgot his fear for a moment, and as soon as his head was blinded, he held up a spear and rushed over, screaming, the tip of the spear pierced the mutant mouse's stomach, and then several spears followed .

"Get up, it's okay, Zhao Gang has been saved." Huang Jiahui said quickly, and walked over to help Jin Meili.

Jin Meili raised her head in surprise. At this time, her forehead was bloody and her face was covered with blood and tears. She glanced at the window suspiciously, and found that Zhao Gang had stood up, and the mutant mouse had been thrown aside. There were blood holes all over his body.

She wiped away her tears, cried and laughed at the same time, so excited that she couldn't help herself.

Looking at this scene of peace and joy, Luo Yuan couldn't help being slightly moved in his heart.

………

After experiencing what Luo Yuan saw as a child's play, these people's temperaments have changed. Maybe it's because they saw the strong defensive ability of the clothes on their bodies, or maybe they saw the blood. Calm, and no longer flustered as before when encountering mutant beasts.

Every fight that followed was over quickly, sometimes without the help of others at all.

Low-level mutant beasts are not considered powerful, as long as they are not unlucky enough to encounter some weird mutant beasts, as long as they are a little bolder, even ordinary people without training can easily kill them.

Due to the improvement in efficiency, in just half a day, the grassland within a radius of 100 meters from the new villa was completely burned and cleaned up.

Gasoline was also used much less than expected, and only about eight barrels were used for a 25-kg package.

In fact, because of the wind today, in many cases, as long as it is sprayed along a straight line, it can burn more than ten meters or even tens of meters wide.

When they came back, almost everyone had injuries, but most of them were skin traumas. The most serious one was Chen Xianfeng, who had two fingers bitten off from his left hand. His face was pale from the pain, but he kept silent. Zhao Gang's arm was also bitten and turned purple. Fortunately, it was not broken, only a muscle was injured, and it only needed to be nursed for a few days.

Their clothes are made of the skin of the locust locust tree, which is rough, hard, dense, and difficult to fold. It looks like a thin layer of armor when worn on the body, and each piece is blue-level equipment, which is most suitable for this day. This kind of untrained ordinary people without clumsy movements, even if they are directly bitten by such clothes, can offset most of the strength.
