Epoch of Twilight

On the way, they sent Cao Qianqian home, and the two arrived at Building 15 of Jingyue Community smoothly.

"Which floor do you live on?" Huang Jiahui asked with nothing to say, feeling a little uneasy. It was the first time for her to go to the home of a man she hadn't seen a few times, and she even had to stay for a few days.

"Fourth floor." Luo Yuan closed the iron door on the ground floor and turned around.

"You live with her now?" Huang Jiahui asked tentatively, flicking her drooping bangs.

"Who, are you talking about Zhao Yali? She has returned to her hometown now." Luo Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and when he mentioned Zhao Yali, he said with an unnatural expression, and quickly changed the subject: "The bed and everything are still there. Stay in that room."

Seeing that Huang Jiahui was holding a rifle, he continued, "You hid the rifle, and it may cause unnecessary trouble if someone sees it."

Although with the dire situation in Donghu City, even if someone called the police, there might not be enough police force to deal with it, but he still wants to live here, so it's not a bad thing to be careful.

"Oh!" Huang Jiahui responded and stuffed the rifle into the suitcase.

The two quickly walked up to the fourth floor, and Luo Yuan glanced at the anti-theft door opposite with a keen sense. There was a slight movement from inside, and the anti-theft door opened after a while. Wang Shishi stood at the door, like a grass being torn by the strong wind, crying: "Uncle, my parents haven't come back yet, I'm so scared."

Her big watery eyes stared eagerly at Luo Yuan, he couldn't help but softened, and said: "Why don't you come to my house and stay for a while."

"Well, thank you uncle!" Wang Shishi replied timidly.

Huang Jiahui felt a little sad, pulled Wang Shishi over, and said with a smile: "What a beautiful girl, what grade is she in?"

"In the second day of junior high school, is auntie uncle's girlfriend?" Wang Shishi asked curiously.

Huang Jiahui's face turned red slightly, and she regretted talking to the little girl, and she concealed: "No, they are just ordinary friends, and they have lived here for a few days."

Luo Yuan ignored the whispers of the two women, inserted the key to open the door, and the inside was in a mess, the French windows of the balcony and other windows were all broken.

Luo Yuan checked it carefully to make sure that nothing entered it. He went into the kitchen again, turned on the gas stove, stared at the light blue flame which quickly became weaker and then disappeared, and cursed fiercely in his heart.

It seems that something really happened.

"Xiao Luo, shall I take a shower first?" Huang Jiahui's voice came from outside.

Luo Yuan's heart moved, and he quickly shouted: "Wait and then wash!"

Said walking a few steps back and forth.

"What's wrong?" Huang Jiahui looked at Luo Yuan's flustered expression and asked in puzzlement. She was startled and frightened today, she was in a cycle of life and death several times, she did not know how many times she broke out in cold sweat, her body was still damp, which made her very uncomfortable.

"You said the gas is cut off, will the water be cut off next time? The waterworks is located in the urban area, and it will definitely be attacked. If no one manages it, I'm afraid it won't be long before there will be no water." Luo Yuan thought for a while , stopped and said in a deep voice. While saying that, regardless of Huang Jiahui's flustered expression, she rushed into the bathroom and turned on the tap.

Seeing the water gushing out from the faucet, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Help me get the plastic bucket from the balcony and the washbasin."

"Oh, good!" Huang Jiahui hurried out.

There are quite a lot of washbasins at home, except for Luo Yuan's own plastic bucket and a washbasin, after Zhao Yali left, these washbasins kept everything, there are two plastic buckets and water from four washbasins in total.

As for which washbasin is for washing feet and which washbasin is for washing face, at this time, no one cares.

After he filled up all the containers with water, he said: "Now you can take a bath. While there is still water, take a good bath. If you want to take a bath in the future, it will not be so easy."

Huang Jiahui took out her clothes silently and walked into the bathroom.

"Uncle, do you think the end of the world is here?" Wang Shishi whispered.

"Who did you listen to?" Luo Yuan turned around and asked.

"I can see it." Wang Shishi said flatly.

"The end of the world is coming, aren't you afraid?" Luo Yuan said.

"What's the use of being afraid, my parents won't come back, right?" Wang Shishi said hopefully.

"Your parents will be back, it may be delayed." Luo Yuan patted her head and comforted her.

"Uncle, you don't have to lie to me. I saw that many people in the community were eaten by big bugs, and even their bones were swallowed." When Wang Shishi said this, his body trembled slightly, but he still looked at Luo Yuan stubbornly. .

Luo Yuan paused slightly, and didn't know how to comfort her, but when she thought that she was already in the second year of junior high school, she should be considered an adult, and it was time to accept this cruel reality: "You have to learn to be strong, you know, even your parents No more, you have to be strong and live on.”

"En!" Wang Shishi nodded vigorously, and tears quickly overflowed from his eyes.

"Okay, now you go get a broom and sweep the glass that fell from the window?" Luo Yuan said.

Wang Shishi sniffed his snot and responded, then picked up the broom and dustpan in the corner, wiped away tears secretly while sweeping the glass.

Luo Yuan looked at it for a while, then went into the storage room to find a toolbox. Axe, hammer, scissors, nails, all the tools inside.

He went to the living room, took out the saber, and chopped the solid wooden table for eating into pieces of wood, and he chopped the remaining scraps that were difficult to use into firewood. He took out a piece of wood, walked to the window for a comparison, then took out nails and hammers, and began to jingle.

Although there is an anti-theft iron frame outside the window, such a fragile protection cannot stop even thieves, let alone green beetles. Of course, even adding a layer of wood boards won't help, but it's an extra layer of protection and psychological comfort, at least it can block the sight of the green beetle and other small creatures.

After a while, Huang Jiahui changed into a set of home clothes and came out. She looked at the busy Luo Yuan and Wang Shishi, and immediately came to help.

Luo Yuan quickly stopped him and said, "You don't need your help here, it's getting late, you can cook, the rice is in the kitchen, you can find it, by the way, I'll give you the lighter?"

He raised his head and glanced at Huang Jiahui who had just taken a shower, and quickly retracted his gaze in a concealed manner, signaling Wang Shishi to bring another board.

Huang Jiahui took the lighter subconsciously, but immediately realized that there was no gas, and cooking could only be done with firewood. She picked up a pile of firewood, went to the kitchen, took out an aluminum alloy pressure cooker, and found rice from the cabinet. , When the fire was lit, he froze, not knowing what to do. Although she had participated in a few picnics, things like lighting a fire were taken care of by courteous gay men, and she never did it herself.

Huang Jiahui: "Where to put the firewood? It can't be put on the ground, right?"

"Find a pot and put it in the pot."

Another moment.

Huang Jiahui: "I can't light the fire, why don't you come and have a look?"

"Dip the wood with oil, and then light it." Luo Yuan continued.

Not long after, a pungent smell of smoke came from the kitchen. Luo Yuan didn't pay much attention to it at first. He lit a fire in the kitchen, and some smell of smoke couldn't be more normal, but the smell of smoke got bigger and bigger, and soon Luo Yuan Both Yuan and Wang Shishi were choked with tears and snot.

Luo Yuan felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly walked into the kitchen, he was immediately annoyed when he saw that the pressure cooker was completely pressed on the cooker, Huang Jiahui held the handle of the pressure cooker in his hand, and lifted it up slightly, puffing, with red eyes It is looming in the smog, like a pitiful rabbit in the mist.

"What are you doing? The air isn't circulating, and you still want to light a fire." It was true that his hair was long but his knowledge was short, Luo Yuan picked up Huang Jiahui angrily.

"I've never had a fire, how do I know this?" Huang Jiahui said with a full face of grievance, matching her dirty face, like a resentful cat

"Then learn a little bit, and I'll leave the cooking to you in the future." Luo Yuan said.

Huang Jiahui didn't dare to refute, she was aware of the dangers outside, and only by following a powerful man like Luo Yuan could she feel a little bit safer, this was one of the reasons why she wanted to live with him, and it was the most important reason.

Luo Yuan went to the bedroom and removed the clothes hanger in Zhao Yali's bedroom.

Separate two iron racks, put one on the bottom of the pot, and fix it. He bent several metal bars one by one, placed them on the edge of the pot to raise the height, and re-ignited the fire. When the firewood was burning hot, he put another iron frame on the iron pot, and then put the pressure cooker on it. on the shelf.

"Okay, that's fine, then, leave it to me!" Huang Jiahui said happily when she saw that the fire had already started.

"En!" Luo Yuan nodded.

Walking into the living room, Luo Yuan continued to be busy. There were not enough wooden boards for the table boards. He only stared at the two windows, and the materials were not enough. Luo Yuan split the coffee table again and continued to nail the windows.

The evolved Saber is extremely sharp, almost close to the limit of metal hardness that modern technology can achieve, and it is very easy to chop wood as if it were nothing. Wang Shishi watched in amazement as Luo Yuan took a weird green long knife and split a tea table into pieces of wood, as if he was splitting on tofu, and forgot to cry for a moment.

As the windows were sealed one by one, the room gradually became dark.

Except for the kitchen window, which was not nailed with wooden boards because of the need to remove smoke, only the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony remained.

Looking at the floor-to-ceiling window, Luo Yuan scratched his head a little. It seems that there is no such long wooden plank here.

Some crazy Luo Yuan looked left and right, and finally set his eyes on the door.

Which door should be demolished, the bedroom door or the toilet door? It seems that one door is not enough, or should they all be demolished? Luo Yuan thought about it, and decided to look at the situation first, even if four or five ordinary green beetles came in, Luo Yuan was confident that he could still deal with it.

As the evening approached, Wang Shishi's face became more and more sad, and she watched the movement outside the door from time to time. She stood up several times, but sat down disappointed.

Huang Jiahui moved out a small table in the bedroom and put bowls of food on it, two salted duck eggs cut into quarters, a plate of mustard greens, and a plate of heated braised beef (canned). Although these dishes were nothing in the past, they seemed a bit extravagant at this time.

"Let's eat!" Luo Yuan greeted, and moved his chopsticks first.

Wang Shishi seemed a little absent-minded, occasionally staring at the food in a daze. Even Huang Jiahui didn't respond to talking to her.

After eating, Luo Yuan lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly, no one noticed that the sweat on his forehead kept coming out.

After one cigarette was finished, he pressed the cigarette butt out, and said in a deep voice, "Master, you can sleep with your Aunt Huang today, don't think too much about it."

"Thank you uncle!" Wang Shishi put down his chopsticks and sobbed softly.

Luo Yuan sighed, but there was no comfort, he got up and walked slowly towards his room.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, he immediately lay down on the bed, his face twisted.

In fact, not long after he got home, the arousal effect of the rat meat had already begun to fade, and there was very little of this effect left, and it was his strong will and intentional diversion of attention that could last until now.

Now once he relaxes, the severe pain will come in waves like a tide.

He gritted his teeth and supported himself hard.

half an hour later.

"Drip, will +1!"

Listening to the information from the system in his mind, the corners of Luo Yuan's mouth twitched feebly, his eyelids gradually became heavy, and he fell asleep in a semi-conscious state after a while.

Luo Yuan was awakened by the sound of gunfire and the ubiquitous buzzing.

"what happened?"

He took the saber on the bed and got up quickly. After a night's rest, although his chest was a little tight, it had improved greatly and he was able to move without hindrance. He walked to the window and opened the curtains, but when he saw the windows that were tightly closed by wooden boards, he was taken aback, remembering that all the windows in the house had been nailed up.

He quickly opened the door and saw Huang Jiahui and Wang Shishi standing in the corner, looking cautiously towards the balcony.

His heart tightened.

Go to the balcony and look outside.

He just froze when he saw it.

The sky is full of flying green beetles, they seem to be a little irritable, and they keep circling in the sky. The sound of cannons was faintly heard in the distance.

Seeing Luo Yuan approaching, Huang Jiahui and Wang Shishi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and their expressions improved a bit.

"The supporting army is here." Huang Jiahui's voice suppressed excitement: "We are saved."

Luo Yuan was also heartbroken. After the large-scale army entered Donghu City, the situation in Donghu City would definitely improve. Maybe it won't take long before the green beetles will be wiped out. Whether it's green beetles or mutant beasts, even if No matter how strong it is, it cannot compete with a well-prepared modern army. This is not a war of the same level at all.

At this time, a ray of light flashed in midair, and a short-range missile exploded in the midair not far from the community, bursting out a cloud of fiery red mushrooms, and the huge shock wave made the nearby green beetles look like floating objects without roots. Ping scattered violently, and some of the ones that were a little closer to the center of the explosion began to fall apart while still in mid-air.

Luo Yuan felt that the building was constantly shaking, and gusts of scorching strong wind were blowing from outside the balcony.

There was a brief blank in his mind. It is difficult for a person born in peace to imagine everything in front of him.

He had only seen such a scene in the video before. At that time, he could eat snacks while marveling at the great power of modern weapons, and even express his opinions on the forum. But I never thought about the shock and fear from the bottom of my heart when I was on the scene.

This missile had just exploded, and two more with long tail flames exploded one after another in the mid-air nearby. In a short while, the green beetles in the area around the explosion were wiped out.

A few minutes later, several wheeled armored vehicles came rumbling from a distant street.

The 30mm machine gun on the top of the armored vehicle stretched straight into the sky, and a flame hundreds of meters long shot into the air at high speed without stopping.

The loud noise made Luo Yuan's eardrums vibrate constantly.

The few remaining green beetles were swept by the flames and were immediately torn to pieces. Countless colorful residues and liquids poured down from the air.

The machine gun kept turning, and unconsciously swept across the surrounding high-rise buildings several times, pulling out fragmented gaps, and even the walls were swept through.

Looking at this scene, Luo Yuan was a little dazed. It was not until a long time later that he woke up suddenly, and a cold sweat broke out from his back.

This building was facing the commercial street in front of it. Once the machine guns were fired towards this side, the fragile walls of the civilian buildings here would definitely not be able to block the penetration of the machine guns.

"We can't stay here, let's go!" Luo Yuan hurriedly said with a gloomy expression.

In modern warfare, unless the army is willing to pay a huge price and accumulate the lives of a large number of soldiers, it is difficult to avoid "accidental injury" to civilians. With the current situation, I am afraid that the upper management is no longer thinking about trivial matters such as accidentally injuring civilians, but cleaning up these green beetles as soon as possible to maintain social stability.

But even thinking of these, Luo Yuan still felt the anger of leaving. Any matter, once it involves oneself, it is difficult to maintain a rational and objective state of mind.

Huang Jiahui also realized it. She hurried back to the bedroom, and when she came out, she was already holding a rifle in her hand. She tremblingly said, "Where are you going?"

Luo Yuan walked towards the gate, and said quickly: "Go to the ground floor, at least it's safer than here."

"good!"

Wang Shishi was already dazed, like an unconscious doll, her face was bloodless, she stood here blankly, motionless.

Looking at this scene, Luo Yuan sighed in his heart, and said, "Give me the rifle, and you hug her!"

Huang Jiahui responded, handed the rifle to Luo Yuan, hugged the numb Wang Shishi, and followed him out of the gate.

Just as he walked up the stairs, the sharp sound of bullets passing through exploded in his ears, and a row of small transparent holes suddenly appeared beside the stairs, piercing back and forth.

The location of the stairs was two or three floors away from the wall of the building, but it still couldn't stop the terrible shells from the machine gun.

Even Luo Yuan was so frightened that his heart beat violently.

He looked at Huang Jiahui who was standing there with a pale face, and was relieved to find that she was not injured.

"Don't be in a daze, let's go!" Luo Yuan sternly shouted.

Huang Jiahui came back to her senses, and hurriedly followed Luo Yuan down the stairs.

A minute later, the three of them walked down the stairs.

In fact, Luo Yuan is not the only one who is smart. At this time, the ground floor of the corridor was already full of bustling people, but when they saw the rifle in Luo Yuan's hand, the crowd suddenly became quiet.

But that's all.

No one screamed, no one retreated, not even afraid at all, some were just on guard.

As the world became more and more chaotic, people's acceptance level also increased rapidly. Swords and swords are just normal, even if someone blatantly swings around with a gun, it is not a big fuss.

When Huang Jiahui put Wang Shishi down, Luo Yuan returned the rifle to him. Compared with his three-legged cat's kung fu, the rifle is more powerful in Huang Jiahui's hands.

"Quick, save her?" At this moment, a middle-aged man on the stairs staggered towards a bloody woman in his arms.

The crowd quickly dispersed, squeezing a spacious space.

The middle-aged man was gentle, wearing a pair of thick black-rimmed glasses that looked like an intellectual. At this time, his face was full of panic and helplessness. He was clutching the woman in his arms tightly, but the blood still kept flowing. It dripped from his hand, forming a straight line. He gently carried the woman to the open space.

"Which one of you is a doctor, save her quickly!" He begged to the surroundings with red eyes.

Luo Yuan glanced at the injured woman, then turned his head away unbearably.

The woman's eyes were closed tightly, her breath was like gossamer, her face was as pale as a dead person, there was a fist-sized wound on her chest, pierced at both ends, it was obviously hopeless.

"I beg you to save her, I can give you money, no, food, I still have some food in my house, and give it all to you?" He looked over one by one with a helpless expression.

People around looked away.

One of them couldn't bear it and said: "Even if such a wound is sent to the hospital now, it won't be cured, so let's be sad!"

His body trembled, and a trace of deep sorrow flashed across his face. He seemed to want to touch her cheek, but just as he stretched out his hand in the air, he began to tremble continuously. Feeling her increasingly cold body, he cried loudly. !
