Epoch of Twilight

The sanitation conditions of the restaurants in the village are somewhat poor, but they have a unique flavor, and almost all of the dishes served are wild game. Stewed hare, bamboo shoots and snake soup, chicken fungus, braised frog.

These are the usual catches of the villagers, and the rare wild game is now everywhere.

However, the atmosphere of the meal was a bit dull, and the few people chatted for a while before losing interest. Ten minutes later, Team Chen put down his bowl and chopsticks, sprinkled a circle of cigarettes, and started smoking alone.

Luo Yuan borrowed Captain Chen's lighter and lit a cigarette too. He doesn't usually smoke, but sometimes he still smokes one when he encounters work pressure or is in a bad mood.

After a cigarette was burned out, Captain Chen stood up and said, "Let's go!"

Several people stood up and walked towards the foot of the mountain.

Luo Yuan was at the end, holding a machete and slashing at the air from time to time!

Zhao Qiang looked back, and said with a smile: "Why are you so energetic, there must be grass everywhere on the mountain, and you will cut it!"

Luo Yuan didn't mind either: "I exercise regularly, and my physical strength is relatively good. When the time comes to open the way, I will leave it to me. You just need to help me watch it!"

Luo Yuan wasn't energetic or overexcited, but wanted to take the time to practice a sword skill. This mission would obviously be more dangerous. His four-point unarmed combat was a bit stretched in this mountain forest. Not as practical as a knife.

However, it is very difficult to practice new skills. It is not that if you have a knife and slash a few times, a new skill will appear. You need at least basic mastery, which requires a lot of practice. For example, Luo Yuan's driving skills were obtained during the driver's license test, but they were only a little pitiful. One can imagine the difficulty of this.

"Okay, no problem! It seems that we will depend on you from now on!" Zhao Qiang grinned.

The young female policeman couldn't stand it anymore: "Zhao Qiang, don't bully others."

Turning around, he said to Luo Yuan: "Xiao Luo, don't be brave, we will take turns to open the way."

"It's okay, I can do it!" Luo Yuan smiled indifferently.

"Huang Jiahui, why are you blaming me? That's what he said." Zhao Qiang said in a strange way: "Oh, the little boy is popular!"

The female police officer named Huang Jiahui gave him an angry look and stopped talking.

"Brother Qiang, Sister Hui! Only Ronaldinho and I are younger here, and I will lead the way together with him." Wang Fei said, he has not yet completed the official establishment, and this is the time to work hard.

"Alright, let Xiao Wang and Xiao Luo lead the way, and the rest of the people guard the surroundings and pay attention to safety." Team Chen said with the final word.

A few people passed through the village, and the concrete road was cut off not far ahead, replaced by a two-meter-wide mechanical farming road, which was covered with weeds and almost flooded the road. If there were no villagers who often walked here Walking on this road, it may have already merged with the left and right farmland, and the road cannot be found.

Stepping on the grass, the soles of the feet are soft and soft, but it is not difficult to walk!

It's just that occasionally there are rustling sounds, running through the grass, which makes everyone tremble with fear from time to time, and they don't know whether it is a mouse, a snake, or other creatures that passed by.

"Slap!" Zhao Qiang walked behind, and suddenly slapped himself, looking in front of him, there was a puddle of blood on the palm, an unlucky mosquito, slapped into a meat paste by him.

"Grass, what a big mosquito!" His face was itchy, he scratched his face vigorously, and said cursing in his mouth.

"It's backed by mountains, and the mosquitoes are quite poisonous, so everyone should be careful." Team Chen reminded.

At this time, a few meters in front of Luo Yuan, there was a sudden violent commotion, the grass tumbled, and then it flew towards the distance like a sharp arrow, forming a long green mark in the grass, which lasted for a long time. Because of the cover of the grass, it is impossible to see what kind of creature is inside!

When the incident happened suddenly, Huang Jiahui couldn't help screaming, patted her towering chest, and said with lingering fear: "I was scared to death, what kind of animal is this?"

"Maybe it's a field mouse!" Wang Fei said uncertainly. He was walking behind Luo Yuan and was startled just now, but he didn't scream.

"Vole, how can there be such a big field mouse? It should be a weasel. It really scared me." Huang Jiahui said with lingering fear.

Luo Yuan walked in the front, only vaguely saw a vague impression, and didn't know what kind of creature it was, but it was definitely not a weasel, because a weasel would never be green. He did not speak, so as not to increase the fear of the crowd.

He took a deep breath, gripped the handle of the knife tightly, and continued to cut the grass in front of him, while seriously experiencing the feeling of using the knife. The strange animal that sprang out just now made him feel a little uneasy.

"In the past few months, the plants have been growing strangely, so what about the animals?

Plants are at the bottom of the ecological chain pyramid. Once the bottom changes, the entire ecosystem will undergo drastic changes. Maybe everything is not so obvious or common, but there are always some very special individuals who may have Started to change.

He suddenly thought of the canceled mission, and suddenly felt terrified, and his whole body became cold.

Before he speculated that Chi Mei Foreign Trade might close within half a year, but he didn't think deeply about it. There are many reasons for the company's closure. Insufficient capital chain, financial problems, or offending certain forces may cause a company to close down. But now connecting everything he saw and thought, he vaguely came to a shocking and unbelievable conclusion: "trade interruption."

The land is changing, and it is impossible for the ocean to remain unchanged. Once there is a problem with the shipping, how many companies will go bankrupt and how many people will lose their jobs? "

The world seems to be undergoing some kind of drastic change. Luo Yuan lived in the city before, and because of the guidance of the news media, although he noticed these changes, he didn't arouse his vigilance. If he hadn't come to the countryside this time, he might still be ignorant.

"No wonder, the price of rice has skyrocketed in the second half of the year, and the bank's interest rate has also been raised several times strangely. It seems that after this task is completed, I should make some preparations!" Luo Yuan thought silently in his heart.

Not long after, a few people had reached the foot of the mountain, and there was a mountain road covered by thorns and bushes in front of them.

At this moment, Luo Yuan saw a red bump the size of a baby's fist on Zhao Qiang's face, even his face was deformed, and he scratched it twice from time to time, wondering: "Brother Qiang, what's wrong with your face?"

"I was bitten by a mosquito, it tickled me to death!" Zhao Qiang checked his gun, scratched his face a few times, and said angrily.

"Ah! Why are the mosquitoes in the mountains so poisonous! If I knew I would have asked for leave today, if I was bitten, I would be ashamed to see others." Huang Jiahui also looked over and said in surprise.

Wang Fei wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he held back: "Maybe Brother Qiang has skin allergies. I have a classmate who is like this. One bite will make a big lump."

"Fuck off, you have skin allergies, which one of you brought toilet water, essential oils or something like that!" Zhao Qiang scolded with a displeased face.

Luo Yuan was also thinking about skin allergies before, but from what he said, it was obviously not the case, and he was secretly startled: "It seems that animals are indeed slowly mutating! Otherwise, how could a mountain mosquito be so poisonous."

"Use your saliva, and use local materials." Team Chen looked at Zhao Qiang's almost deformed face, and felt a little pleased. Zhao Qiang is the thorn in the center, usually disobedient, and very stingy, he has long been unhappy with him: "Be patient and pass, okay, let's go into the mountain, Xiao Luo, you open the way first."

Luo Yuan withdrew his thoughts, held the machete, and walked cautiously up the mountain.
