Epoch of Twilight

"Hope City, construction has already begun at the beginning of the end of the world. It was originally built according to the specifications of a central city, as China's last retreat. Not only a considerable number of heavy industries and large laboratories have been relocated here, but also the only satellite launch center!

But in the end, for some unknown reason, the higher authorities did not choose this city as Xinjing, but built another one. "Cui Weichuan looked at the huge city in the distance and sighed: "However, this place is still very important. It is one of the most important industrial areas in the reconstruction area, an important military town, and has a population of more than three million people. I used to live here, and was assigned to support the construction of Motu City later. "

Looking far away from Luo Yuan, this is not so much a modern city as it is a terrorist war machine.

Inside the wall composed of carnivorous vines with a height of seven or eight meters, there are densely surrounded clusters of forts. Several of the forts look very weird. The barrels are slender, but the base is extremely large and bloated. Several times, this kind of fort is arranged every few kilometers, surrounded by the stars of the surrounding fort, it is particularly eye-catching.

"What kind of weapon is this?" Luo Yuan asked, pointing at the weird fort.

"This is an electromagnetic gun. This is a weapon developed in the last two years. It has a firing speed eight times the speed of sound and a range of up to 500 kilometers. A single shell can kill a seventh-level mutant beast. However, it consumes a lot of power and is not used often. " Cui Weichuan said, his tone a little proud.

In order to boost morale, every time a new technology is developed in the reconstruction area, it will be publicized on a large scale immediately, so he is very familiar with it.

A seventh-level mutant beast, also a dark green level, looked at the terrifying electromagnetic guns, and his heart was slightly disturbed. So far, he hasn't come across a super creature of this level.

"Then what is this? It looks a bit like the airship." Luo Yuan pointed to the thing suspended in mid-air.

It looks extremely huge, and the shadow it leaves almost covers several streets. However, compared to the huge body full of oppression, its surface is mottled and colorful, as if it has been patched with countless patches, and it looks extremely rough. It doesn't look like a product of industrialization.

Cui Weichuan took a look and said with a smile: "Mr. Luo, you guessed it right, this is the airship."

Looking at Luo Yuan's slightly stunned expression, he explained: "Don't look at it as if it is a bit fragile, in fact it is made of mutated animal skins above level 5, and its defense is extremely strong. Ordinary mutated birds can't do anything about it." It, and its huge size, is also a deterrent to these mutated birds, like this A-type transport airship, the load capacity can reach 3,000 tons, which is twenty times that of ordinary transport aircraft."

Hearing the description in his mouth, Luo Yuan was shocked. For such a huge behemoth, I don't know how many mutated beasts above level five would need the furs, probably more than 5,000.

With its terrifying transportation capacity, it is almost equivalent to one-third of the transportation capacity of freight trains, and it is not restricted by regions and road conditions, and can even be deployed in a large-scale military. I don't know how many such transport airships there are, but it is estimated that there are only single digits. Mutant beasts above level five are not everywhere, and it is extremely difficult to manufacture each one.

Before they got close, someone came quickly: "Is the one in front Mr. Luo Yuanluo?"

"I am!" Luo Yuan said in a deep voice, he was not surprised, his Beast has been implanted with a chip, and his personal information has already been recorded, no matter where the Beast moves, he can be found clearly .

"Mr. Luo, I'm sorry, according to the management regulations of war beasts, your war beasts are not allowed to enter the city, please follow me to a special place to settle them."

"Okay, but I have to trouble you to wait for a while!" Luo Yuan said.

Under Luo Yuan's order, the monitor lizard slowly got down, and the others climbed down one after another.

"The City of Hope is ahead, I'll send it here, everyone take care!" Luo Yuan said.

"Thank you for your kindness, I will always remember this kindness in my heart." Cui Weichuan hugged the little girl and said excitedly, "I hope to see you again!"

"There will be a chance." Luo Yuan said with a smile.

"Thank you Uncle Luo and all the big sisters for saving us. Uncle Luo, will you come to see us in the future?" The little girl in her arms said, crying when she heard that she was about to part.

"Yes, there will be a chance." Luo Yuan said, but everyone knows that this possibility is very small. For most ordinary people, the end of the world is not a free world. Personality is suppressed, thoughts are imprisoned, and personal Just an insignificant screw in the giant machine of society, which can't even decide where it is.

"Ning Ning is so good, she is so sweet-mouthed, really flattering." Huang Jiahui touched the little girl's face and said, her expression was a little complicated. Looking at this little girl, she couldn't help but think of her own daughter.

Luo Yuan felt something, and shook her hand comfortingly.

Huang Jiahui forced a smile, turned her head away, her eyes were already moist. This is the eternal pain in her heart. Several times, she dreamed back in the middle of the night and was awakened by the nightmare.

At this time, other people also stepped forward to thank them, with sincere feelings and excited expressions. If Luo Yuan hadn't turned back to rescue them, they would have already been underground and turned into corpses.

Luo Yuan smiled and shook hands one by one in response.

The whole farewell lasted for more than ten minutes. These people were so enthusiastic, they shook hands over and over again, and they seemed to have endless words of gratitude, which made Luo Yuan feel a little overwhelmed.

In addition to the remaining survivors of the earthquake, Yan Mengjun, his wife and Yang Zhiqing also left, only Zhang Wu stayed behind, and seemed to have made up his mind to follow Luo Yuan.

The civil servants in the distance have been waiting patiently, without the slightest impatient emotion on their faces, and have always maintained a formulaic smile. He knows the status of this person, and even the higher-ups are paying attention. Before he arrived in Hope City, While still on the road, someone called.

The call came from a special department, not to mention him, even the mayor of Hope City must treat it seriously.

But even if he didn't have this phone call, he didn't dare to be negligent. Just the two terrifying giant beasts full of oppression made him dare not be dissatisfied in the slightest.

…………

The resettlement area is located in an original ecological valley 100 kilometers away. There are dense plants and old trees and vines. It obviously requires great courage and self-confidence to leave such a large forest near Hope City.

"So far, a total of 27 war beasts have been placed here, and each war beast is separated by more than ten kilometers, because we have adopted fixed-point and regular delivery of food, so the war beasts do not have to worry about food, and through food-induced conditioned reflexes, You will basically not leave the original area, so there has not been a single accident so far, you can rest assured." The civil servant accompanied Luo Yuan and introduced with hospitality.

Luo Yuan nodded. The conditions here are indeed very good, much better than those in Motu City. The monitor lizard and King Kong should like it.

When they left, the monitor lizard and King Kong seemed to have expected something, and they were very reluctant to part. Luo Yuan chased them away several times, and several times, the two giant beasts followed secretly. If there were no positioning showing that they were moving here , I'm afraid you can't find it.

The eyes of the women were moist. If they were not rational, they would have persuaded Luo Yuan to keep the two giant beasts.

Zhang Wu was also filled with emotion, and couldn't help feeling an urge to subdue a war beast.

When I came, I took the giant beast, and when I came back, I took the van of the other party. Fortunately, it was a van, otherwise there would be no room for so many people.

The power of the car is driven by electricity. With the shortage of oil, fuel vehicles have obviously been gradually replaced. Nowadays, except for some heavy machinery that requires high power, diesel is still used, and it is rare to see vehicles that are not powered by electricity. .

At nine o'clock in the evening, the group finally entered Hope City!

The streets are empty, there are almost no pedestrians, and there are no shops. This place is not so much a city as it is an extremely large industrial area. The factories on both sides of the road are brightly lit, and the roar of large forging machinery comes from afar.

The car was running all the way, but besides the factory on both sides, it was still a factory. Heavy trucks drove by from time to time, causing the road to vibrate slightly. The forest-like chimneys are lined up along the road, extending to endless distances, spewing out huge amounts of thick smoke day and night.

But in any case, this is a city of iron and fire, which embodies the crystallization of human industrialization and gives people a different kind of shock.

Looking at this majestic and huge city, a heartfelt sense of security rose from the heart. The group of people exhaled lightly, and their hearts suddenly relaxed.
