Epoch of Twilight

The woman wore several shabby clothes stained with colorful paint, wrapped her body tightly, and held a pistol in her hand. As she walked, she muttered in her mouth: "Old Huang, it's so dangerous outside, tell me to come out." What are you doing? If it's okay, see if I don't hit you!"

The scene in front of him gave Luo Yuan a sudden strong sense of sight, as if he had seen it somewhere.

The woman's body was just bigger than the calf of the giant beast, and if it was not careful, it could trample her to death, but the giant beast was scolded by the woman, pulling its tongue and shaking its tail like a windmill, Almost got down on the ground to please.

The giant beast stopped, facing Luo Yuan's direction, whimpering.

The woman followed the eyes of the giant beast and looked at Luo Yuan. She was stunned suddenly, and didn't even notice that the pistol in her hand had dropped. Her lips trembled: "Xiao Yuan!"

Now no one calls him Xiaoyuan anymore, even Huo Dong, the oldest member of the team, has never called him before, this familiar voice made Luo Yuan feel a little dazed, and he was a little uncertain: "Sister Yali? "

She excitedly said, "Are you still alive?"

Zhao Yali had fantasized about the scene of the two meeting each other countless times, but all fantasies gradually shattered like fragile soap bubbles with the increasingly cruel apocalypse. She even felt that he had died in the mutation like most people among the beasts.

She once passed by Donghu City with refugees, but that bustling city has been turned into ruins, and even Hedong City has fallen in the end. Gradually, she no longer has any hope for it, and the impression Luo Yuan left in her heart is also gone. It is getting weaker and weaker, until now I seldom think of it, but I never thought that I suddenly saw it in this ordinary morning.

Looking at Luo Yuan, who seemed to be as outstanding as before the end of the world, and the neat and clean clothes. At a loss, she gathered up the messy and knotted hair, and pulled the crumpled and stained clothes, not knowing where to put her hands.

Luo Yuan walked a few steps and said pleasantly, "So it's really you, where are your uncles and aunts?"

"On the fifth day after you left, my father and Lao Huang went to the field to find something to eat, but they didn't come back for a long time. Seeing that he didn't return, my mother went to look for him worriedly. In the afternoon, Lao Huang came back with two corpses. They were all poisoned to death by bugs." Zhao Yali said calmly, her voice choked with sobs at the end.

"I'm sorry!" Luo Yuan said with a sigh.

"It's nothing, it's been a long time." Zhao Yali wiped her eyes, and the paint on her face immediately faded, making it colorful.

Luo Yuan felt a pain in his heart, and tried to grab her hand, but she pulled it out gently, turned his head and said softly: "Don't do this!"

Luo Yuan thought it had been a long time since we had seen each other, and she became a little uncomfortable, and was about to continue to shake her hand, but was interrupted by a magnetic voice.

"Yali, who is this?"

A man ran straight over with a spear in his hand. He was not afraid of seeing Lao Huang, a giant beast. He walked up to Zhao Yali's side. Lao Huang kept wagging his tail, obviously quite familiar with him.

Hearing the man's affectionate address to Zhao Yali, Luo Yuan's heart skipped a beat, with a bad premonition in his heart.

Zhao Yali panicked and said, "He is my former friend from Donghu City, and I just met here."

Then he avoided looking at Luo Yuan: "Xiao Yuan, this is...my boyfriend, Zhu Hao!"

The man didn't seem to have seen the scene at all, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that you can find this place. It's not easy for us to find here. Since you are Yali's friend, you are my friend. If you have nowhere to go, in the future Just stay here, although the conditions here are simple, and you usually have to roll in the mud, but in this world, what is more important than safety."

Luo Yuan panicked in his heart, he took a deep breath hard, and said with a smile: "Thank you, but I won't stay here for a long time, this time I came here just to see if it's possible to pass here, I can only meet Sister Yali Call it lucky."

He should have thought about it a long time ago. Don't say that Zhao Yali is beautiful, no matter how ugly she is, as long as Lao Huang is still there, how can there be no suitors? Creatures, as long as men with a little bit of ambition, will not let them go.

Although the two had a one-night relationship, they couldn't talk about any deep feelings. Even if they had feelings, they had faded after such a long time.

And Zhu Hao was tall and tall. Although his face was covered with paint, it could be seen that he had a good appearance, and his voice was loud and powerful, and he spoke decently and generously. One can tell at a glance that he is a strong person. In this camp of survivors, his status will never be low. As long as this kind of person throws his face down and pursues it, a woman like Zhao Yali who has a weak personality and a little low self-esteem cannot stop her at all. His offensive.

"That's good. After all, we can't stay here for long. The tide will rise soon, and we will have to find a new place by then, but we are in a hurry to leave so early. Let's stay here for lunch, you and Ya It's been a long time since I saw Li, let's catch up on the old days." Zhu Hao said with a smile.

He had a smile on his face, no matter how Luo Yuan looked at him, he didn't show any displeasure, as if it came from his heart, Luo Yuan asked himself that he would never be able to do what he did, this person's thoughts were too deep. But only such people can live better in this cruel world.

Thinking of this, he didn't want to stay here any longer, he shook his head and said, "No need, there are still friends waiting for me, I'll just ask about the road conditions here and leave!"

Zhu Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to speak, but Zhao Yali said, "Let's have a meal together before leaving, don't you hate seeing me? If you're worried about your friends, why don't you call them all over here!"

Speaking of this, Luo Yuan could no longer refuse. He looked at Zhao Yali's pleading eyes, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, I'll call them over."

Looking at Luo Yuan's back, he stared at it for a long time, then turned to Zhao Yali and said, "I happened to catch a big loach just now, I'll ask someone to prepare it, do you want to come over and help?"

Zhao Yali was a little lost, and it took a long time before she came back to her senses, and said apologetically, "I'm a little tired, I want to rest for a while, call me when Xiaoyuan comes."

Then he turned and walked towards the tent.

Zhu Hao's face turned gloomy all of a sudden, as long as he was not blind, he could see the abnormality of the two of them. If he hadn't arrived in time just now, the two of them might have hugged each other.

In order to pursue Zhao Yali, he has always kept himself clean. Even the few women who came to his door were rejected by him without mercy. The price was about to succeed, but Cheng Yaojin was killed halfway.

He looked at Luo Yuan's back for a long time, and after a long time, he turned and left.

………………

When Luo Yuan and the others arrived, it was already two hours later.

In order to avoid panic, Luo Yuan didn't bring the monitor lizard here, and even left his luggage where he was.

Garbage was everywhere in the camp, and there was an indescribable stench. On the road, a skinny woman in ragged clothes pulled down her pants and began to urinate in front of everyone.

The whole body, the only white buttocks aroused the covetousness of some men. Before he finished urinating, he was pulled closer to the nearby tent. During the period, the woman pretended to struggle, and the man laughed and cursed.

Seeing this situation, Huang Jiahui's complexion turned even darker.

Many people are digging mud over and over again on the edge of the village, trying to find something to eat.

A skinny man fell to the ground convulsively after digging, and the people around him dispersed. Finally, a frightened expression flashed across his wooden face, but it was limited to this, he didn't scream, and he didn't move around. After fleeing, the crowd stared numbly for a while, avoided here, and continued digging the mud.

When everyone looked at these people, they were shocked, but at the same time they couldn't help but feel a little grateful. If they hadn't followed Luo Yuan, maybe they were one of these people.

There are hundreds of survivors in the camp, but they are also survivors, and they can still feel the difference. Perhaps it is the reason for the shortage of food. Most of the refugees here are pale, their eyes are numb, and they can't see the slightest vitality.

There are also a few people with rosy faces, and these people are mostly strong men and some relatively beautiful and delicate women.

Luo Yuan knows that no matter at what time, people are classified into different levels. Before the end of the world, people relied on wisdom, but now they rely on strength. The stronger a person is, the better off he will be in the end of the world, occupying the most resources. Whether it's food or women.

Soon someone came to greet him, and it wasn't Zhu Hao, but a tall young man who came over. He looked at Luo Yuan provocatively, and when he saw a few women, he couldn't help but lose his focus.

Compared with the women in the camp, they are undoubtedly too clean. Clean clothes, clean appearance, and good looks make them stand out from the crowd here, especially Wang Shishi, whose delicate and charming face is like an oil painting. , the delicate skin seems to be exuding a jade-like luster.

Wang Shishi snorted dissatisfiedly, and angrily said: "Where are your eyes looking?"

The young man came back to his senses and smiled inexplicably: "Everyone, follow me."

Everyone followed him to the largest tent, and he stopped suddenly: "You can't bring weapons into here. All weapons must be handed over to me. I hope you will cooperate."

"There are so many of you, how many of us are you afraid of?" Lin Xiaoji dissatisfied.

The young man sneered, "This is the place where we have a meeting. No one is allowed to carry weapons. The rules are the rules, and no one can be an exception."

"When will your rules be applied to us?" Cao Lin said.

Luo Yuan hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Forget it, since we are here as a guest, it doesn't make sense to bring weapons. Give him all the weapons."

As he spoke, he handed out the saber.

As soon as the young man took it, his expression changed instantly. The heavy weight almost couldn't hold the Saber. He quickly held it with both hands.

Looking at Luo Yuan who had been holding it with one hand as if nothing had happened, a trace of shock finally flashed across his face.

Seeing that even Luo Yuan had handed over his weapons, everyone had no choice but to do so, and then walked into the tent one after another.

There was a layer of wooden boards on the bottom of the tent, and a thick layer of carpet on top of the boards, but it was still a little wet.

There was a round table in the middle, and there were already seven people sitting in it. Zhu Hao sat on the top seat, but Zhao Yali was the only one missing.
