Epoch of Twilight

On the way back, a large number of flies and mosquitoes began to appear in front of us. At first, there were only a few sporadic ones, but the more we went forward, the denser it became. After traveling for more than ten kilometers, it was almost impossible to move. Countless flies and mosquitoes were densely packed , almost filled the entire space, floating around like thick fog, gathering and dispersing at times.

The monitor lizard seemed a little irritable, and stopped moving forward, and had no choice but to move on under Luo Yuan's repeated urging.

The air was filled with a stench, exuding a smell of rotting corpses, and the ground became a bit potholed, with large and small potholes everywhere on the surface, it felt like suddenly entering the surface of the moon.

Mutant insects and human corpses are everywhere on the ground. At a glance, the corpses are everywhere, which makes people feel chills.

The flesh and blood of the corpses had been devoured by scavengers and disappeared, leaving only cold bones.

Luo Yuan told the giant lizard to slow down and look into the distance. He didn't pay attention to it when he was in the sky before, but now that he was returning with the giant lizard, he realized that the battlefield was actually not far from Motu City.

This is undoubtedly just one of the small and insignificant battlefields, but the scope is extremely wide. Luo Yuan circled around the battlefield and found that the entire area of ​​tens of kilometers was within the scope of the battlefield.

A large number of broken and twisted tanks and anti-aircraft guns were randomly thrown on the battlefield like scrap iron, and a few shells that hadn't had time to fire rolled to the side, and bugs crawled over them from time to time. Even if he just watched from a distance, Luo Yuan could still feel the tragic atmosphere of the war!

When Luo Yuan passed a fortress, a corner of the solid fortification that could withstand heavy artillery bombardment had collapsed. He deliberately flew in to check the situation, passing through the twisted steel gap, countless corpses were lying on the ground in disorder, It was a mess inside.

Several canine scratches were left on the concrete floor, like ravines, dividing the entire ground into several parts, but the culprit was unknown.

………………

As the sky gradually dimmed, Yan Mengjun checked the time frequently, showing a hint of anxiety on his face.

It was almost five o'clock at this time, and in an hour at most, the sky would be dark.

The wilderness at night is dangerous. This place was originally a desert, and the temperature difference between day and night was huge, which caused many creatures to come out to move around at night. Of course, the climate has changed drastically, and the desert has begun to turn into a grassland, but the past habits of these creatures are still preserved.

In the past, with his third-level ability, there would be no danger. This place is close to Motu City, within the human defense line, and the mutated creatures in the territory have been sorted out countless times. Even ordinary people can break into it if they are brave enough. rush.

However, this place has now been occupied, and the original safe zone is no longer safe. After the last insect infestation, it is unknown how many powerful mutant insects remained hidden in this endless grass, staring at them.

Originally there was Luo Yuan to rely on, but now Luo Yuan has not come back for a long time, seeing the sky getting darker and darker, he also became nervous.

Seeing his wife holding his arm tightly with a pale face, he forced a smile on his face, and comforted him: "Don't worry, everything is on me."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, there are so many of us, how can we guarantee your safety?" Zhang Wu, who was next to him, also comforted.

"Look at them, they seem to be okay!" Yang Zhiqing was the relatively calm one in the crowd, he said strangely.

Perhaps it was because one side was full of women, the team was divided into two distinct teams, but compared to them who were tense, the group of women on the other side chatted about their parents' shortcomings with a natural expression.

"I'll ask!" Yan Mengjun glanced at him and said, as a former real estate agent, he naturally did not have the restraint of ordinary people in unfamiliar situations, so he took Gu Meiyan over and said, "Excuse me, what do you know about Mr. Luo? Is it time to come back?"

"Should be back soon!" Huang Jiahui looked at the time and said with a smile. After experiencing so many things, she was already used to this kind of worry: "Please wait a little longer, everyone!"

"No trouble, no trouble, I'm just a little worried. It's getting late, and it might be dangerous!" Yan Mengjun quickly explained that these people are all around Mr. Luo. If he is misunderstood and he is impatient, then It's troublesome.

"Thank you for reminding us, we will pay attention to these." Huang Jiahui said politely, but she didn't take it seriously in her heart. Let alone Wang Shishi's amazing strength, even she is not afraid of ordinary mutant creatures. She has experienced so many storms. There is no sense of tension about the wilderness on the outskirts of Motu City.

Feeling helpless, Yan Mengjun turned around and returned to the original team with his wife, shaking his head at Zhang Wu and others.

Time passed by every minute and every second. Seeing that the sky was about to darken, the dense grassland gradually began to move. A large number of mounds rose up out of thin air from time to time on the grassland, and hideous mutant creatures emerged from them.

This area has only been occupied for less than a month, and both the number and strength of mutant creatures have undergone tremendous changes. From a distance, there are many mutant creatures of the second and third ranks.

But gradually, these creatures began to commotion, as if they felt the uneasiness in the air, their behavior became a little weird, some looked around cautiously, some circled around in a daze, and some even burrowed back into the soil middle. .

"What's going on?" Yan Mengjun looked puzzled: "What happened?"

"Could it be another earthquake!" Zhang Wu guessed.

"It seems that there is indeed an earthquake!" Yang Zhiqing felt it, and seemed to feel a little tremor.

"Look, what's that?" Gu Meiyan suddenly discovered something, and quickly pulled Yan Mengjun beside her, with a shocked expression on her face.

I saw two small dots faintly appearing in the distance. As time went by, these two small dots became more and more clear, and they were rapidly enlarged. At the same time, the ground began to vibrate slightly.

As the line of sight became clearer and clearer, everyone's faces gradually turned pale. Wherever they looked, two indescribably terrifying behemoths were approaching here at an extremely fast speed accompanied by an increasingly strong sense of shock.

At the first glance, the two giant beasts were still two or three kilometers away, and after only a dozen seconds, they were already close in front of them. Facing such giant beasts, human beings are so small, and the strong shock caused by the light running , it has already made them unable to stand. The faces of Yan Mengjun and the others turned pale, and sweat broke out on their foreheads. Although they desperately wanted to escape, their bodies were weak and unable to move.

A few mutated creatures that couldn't escape, froze in place, were trampled to pieces by the passing giant beasts, and exploded into a ball of fleshy paste.

Compared with Yan Mengjun and others who saw the giant lizard and King Kong for the first time, Huang Jiahui and others undoubtedly performed better, but they also looked shocked. Not only did the two giant beasts change their appearance, but their size almost increased by a whole lot. Double, if he hadn't seen Luo Yuan on his back, he would have thought he was in danger.

As the distance got closer and closer, the two behemoths began to slow down as they approached hundreds of meters.

It has to be said that Luo Yuan's existence is easily overlooked in front of the huge size of the giant beasts. Only then did someone finally notice the figure on one of the giant beasts. Yan Mengjun and the others couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Staggered, only to realize that the whole body was close to collapse.

...

"No, maybe I didn't hear clearly. Mr. Luo, you mean, let us sit on the giant beast!" Yan Mengjun opened his mouth and said with a difficult expression. As a normal person, this is really crazy, and it is about ten meters away. The tall and terrifying monster, even if it is just rubbed against it, will be seriously injured.

"Is there a problem? We can't walk more than a thousand kilometers just by walking." Luo Yuan said, looking at the group of people with a half-smile.

"No...not anymore!" Yan Mengjun shook his head palely.

"It's...very reasonable, and I have no objection." Zhang Wu also said with a stiff expression.

"As long as he doesn't bite." Yang Zhiqing secretly glanced at the two giant beasts, and whispered.

The old rattan blankets had long since disappeared. Before it was dark, everyone began to search for rattan that could be weaved.

The monitor lizard fluctuates a lot when running, and if there is no rattan blanket to hold onto, it is easy to fall off, especially now that the monitor lizard is nearly ten meters tall, once it falls from it while running at high speed, the consequences will be unimaginable.

In today's wilderness, there is nothing lacking, except these vines. These mutated vines are extremely flexible and strong. Even if a few thin vines the thickness of steel wires are entangled, Luo Yuan, who is the strongest, cannot tear them apart.

Of course, the vines needed to weave rattan blankets are thicker, and each one is almost as thick as an arm. Not only can the step of rubbing hemp be omitted, but it is also heavier, not easy to fall off, and it is also easier to grasp.

People in the last days are not pampered. Even Gu Meiyan, who has been looking bad since the appearance of the giant beast, came here to rush up and down, very quickly.

During this period, Yang Zhiqing, who was not very conspicuous like an old farmer, made Luo Yuan look a little different.

Perhaps he has woven fishing nets before, and he is very good at weaving nets. Under his guidance, the rattan blanket this time finally looks like a real rattan blanket. The entire rattan blanket is evenly spaced and durable. Yuan and others tore a few rattans randomly, and the rough rattan blanket that was entangled together was like a work of art this time.

Because the monitor lizard has a very wide back, and the rattan blanket is also extremely large. It is roughly estimated to be more than a hundred square meters. Of course, the weight is also extremely astonishing. Not to mention other people, even Luo Yuan can't pull it, at least more than two tons .

In the end, King Kong was called to cover the monitor lizard with this huge rattan blanket.

This project is huge, and it will be nine o'clock in the evening when everything is done, but Luo Yuan has no idea of ​​camping here at all, this place is in the active plate area, whether it is the mutated birds whining above the clouds, or the earthquake in the rebuilding area The observed data have already explained everything.

With the help of the hanging vines, under Luo Yuan's urging, everyone climbed limply up on the monitor lizard. When everyone sat down, Luo Yuan patted its head, and the monitor lizard snorted irritably and sprayed bursts of air. Huo Huo couldn't wait to stand up. If Luo Yuan hadn't deliberately controlled the monitor lizard's speed, it might have started running wildly by now.

In the dark night without stars and moon, it was as black as ink, and even Luo Yuan could only see the vague outline of Motu City, which gradually faded away.

Looking at the ruins and thinking of the people waiting to migrate in the shelter below, he had a complicated expression.

...

Tall electromagnetic towers can be seen from time to time on the road, but these electromagnetic towers have been cut off from power after the fall of this place, and now they have become habitats for mutated insects.

When the two giant beasts passed by, countless insects flew up.

The deterrence of the two giant beasts made the journey extremely smooth, and no mutant creature without eyes dared to move forward to provoke.

At four o'clock in the morning, a strange city gradually appeared in sight under the dim brilliance of the morning sun.
