Epoch of Twilight

Except for the layer of white rice on the surface which is fairly clean, most of the parts in contact with the ground are stained with the liquid left after the green beetle was smashed, and some carapace fragments are mixed in it, which looks very disgusting. Luo Yuan originally wanted to throw it away, but was stopped by Huang Jiahui's distress.

Santana's trunk wasn't enough, so in the end Luo Yuan had to remove the back seat to make room for stuffing all the supplies into it, filling a full car.

"Okay, let's go!" Luo Yuan walked to the cab.

Huang Jiahui sat in the co-pilot's seat and hugged Wang Shishi on his lap. Seeing that the two were sitting down, Luo Yuan started the car. When he drove to the gate of the community, he looked back at the community that was almost in ruins. He suddenly thought that maybe he would never come back to this place again.

The number of people walking to the street began to increase. People who had just experienced the baptism of artillery fire walked onto the street one by one, looking at the green beetle remnants and corpses everywhere on the road and the dilapidated city. Some cheered, some cried.

This kind of scene is both strange and familiar to Luo Yuan, but he can't get into it no matter what. With a silent expression on his face, he slowly drove forward along the road. Not long after he drove, he saw a guard-level green beetle in a dilapidated coffee shop by the road.

A huge hole was blasted into its abdomen, and its flesh was bloody. Disgusting bodily fluids continuously flowed from the table-sized wound, forming a large piece of mucus on the ground. But the powerful life of the insect made it impossible to die for a while. Only one wing flapped desperately, and several coffee seats were blown away by its powerful force. It tried to stand up, but such an effort was doomed to be in vain for the one that lacked a few limbs and one wing.

Luo Yuan only glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze and continued to drive forward.

Such a monster, even if it has been severely injured, still has the ability to kill him, even if he once killed one.

But he knows that that success is largely due to luck, but luck will not favor him every time, and he must not make mistakes in fighting such a monster. As long as he misses once, there will be no second time. His physical body His defense is too weak, the guard-level green beetle can withstand the attack of bullets, but he only needs one bullet to kill him.

At this time, the road vibrated slightly, and the roar of the engine came from a distance.

At the intersection, five armored vehicles and three large military heavy trucks rumbled towards this side, Luo Yuan quickly turned the steering wheel and stepped aside.

The seven or eight heavy machine gunners standing on the heavy truck glanced at Luo Yuan, their expressions were solemn and stern, with an aura of iron and blood.

This group of convoys was obviously doing the work of scavengers. Luo Yuan saw that there were several green beetles mounted on the behemoths with a length of more than ten meters, and they were all guard-level green beetles.

Seeing this scene, he thought for a while. The military worked so hard to collect the guard-level green beetles. Apart from using them for experimental research, the biggest possibility is probably to create evolved humans. Even if the probability of this kind of evolution is small, or even only one in a thousand, as long as there is a base of 100,000, then there can be 100 evolutionary people in the military. If it is a million, then there will be 1,000.

But in fact, the probability is probably much higher.

The psychological barrier of ordinary people to raw green beetles does not exist for these soldiers, and discipline and obedience have penetrated into the bones of soldiers. He had no doubts that as long as the higher-ups gave orders, these soldiers could stuff those disgusting things into their mouths and swallow them without hesitation.

A trace of panic suddenly appeared in his heart. He found that he hadn't really adapted to the advent of the troubled times. He knew that these things could bring an opportunity for evolution, but because of emotional disgust, he resolutely refused to touch them!

"Why don't you drive?" Huang Jiahui didn't want to talk to him at first, but seeing Luo Yuan not driving for a long time, she couldn't help reminding her.

"Finally figured out one thing." Luo Yuan came back to his senses and said with a smile.

"What are you thinking about?" Huang Jiahui couldn't help asking out of curiosity.

"If there is something that has a certain chance of allowing humans to evolve, would you eat it?" Luo Yuan glanced at it and asked, then started the car and drove towards the intersection.

"Evolution? Are you kidding me?" Huang Jiahui snorted and said disdainfully. She usually doesn't surf the Internet very much, and she doesn't have access to confidential things, so she obviously doesn't know the existence of evolutionary people.

"I know about evolutionary people, and it's been talked about on the Internet." Wang Shishi said.

"There are really evolved people, not movies." Huang Jiahui was a little skeptical this time.

"Do I seem to be joking?" Luo Yuan said while driving.

"Of course I eat it. Idiots don't eat this kind of thing?" Huang Jiahui said without any pressure, but she didn't quite believe Luo Yuan's words.

"Brother Luo, I want to eat too!" Wang Shishi whispered.

"Eat at that time, eat as much as you want, until you can't eat any more." Luo Yuan showed a mysterious smile on his face.

Several mobile medical vehicles drove up on the road ahead, followed by government relief vehicles one after another.

Ten minutes later, Luo Yuan stopped at the entrance of a hotel. This hotel with only four floors is considered the best preserved building nearby.

He opened the car door and got out of the car. The glass door in front had been shattered into glass slag all over the floor, and the ground was covered with thick dust. Obviously, it had been closed for a long time.

"That's all here, and you can choose a room at will." Luo Yuan walked into the hotel and took a look, and said.

Huang Jiahui also walked in, and said with an unnatural expression: "It always feels weird, what should we do when the boss here comes?"

"It's still a hotel here. Even if the boss comes, he can pay the rent. In this situation, the other party won't say much." Luo Yuan laughed.

Huang Jiahui didn't say any more.

The two found a luxuriously furnished suite on the third floor and began to move things. After everything was placed, it was almost noon. Huang Jiahui walked into the bathroom, not long after, Huang Jiahui's anxious voice came from inside.

"Is there no water here?"

"There's no more water, I remember there was some in the morning!" Luo Yuan's expression changed, but he wasn't surprised: "I'll look for the main valve down there to see if it's closed?"

Speaking of which, Luo Yuan quickly went downstairs and searched for more than ten minutes before finding it in a storage room on the first floor. But he was soon disappointed, because the main valve was opened at all, he walked out of the hotel, and walked towards the closed restaurant opposite the hotel.

Walking into the kitchen inside, I quickly turned on the faucet, and the tap water pipe made a rattling sound like being strangled in the throat, but no water flowed down.

Luo Yuan walked back with an ugly expression.

"There's no water, and there's no water anywhere else!" Luo Yuan sat down on the sofa, his face depressed. "Today's bombing was too intense. I'm afraid it even affected the waterworks. Fortunately, there are still more than a dozen bottles of mineral water. Let's use it first. Donghu City can no longer live, so we can only go to other places."

Huang Jiahui sighed, and sat down, her face was full of sadness: "Where are you going?"

Luo Yuan thought for a while: "Go to Hedong City, which is the provincial capital, and at least one group army is stationed next to it, so it should be relatively stable."

Luo Yuan was very convincing when he was calm, and Huang Jiahui's face also calmed down: "You just decide?"

"Then go to Hedong City tomorrow morning!" Luo Yuan made a final decision: "Your car has enough gasoline, don't break down halfway."

"As long as the car doesn't fall apart, it's fine!"

Luo Yuan frowned.

Huang Jiahui panicked involuntarily, and quickly said, "Donghe City is only over a hundred kilometers away from East Lake. This Santana 2000 is in good condition. It should be no problem for this distance."

"That's good, or I have to change the car. It's a mess now, and I don't know who to buy it from. Let's eat first, take out that bag of steamed buns, and eat a little today." Luo Yuan touched touch belly. Because of nervousness before, even though he brought a bag of steamed buns, he was not in the mood to eat them. Till now I am hungry.

Huang Jiahui got up and was about to go to the living room to get something, but was stopped by Luo Yuan: "Wait, don't eat it yet, I'm afraid you will spit it all out. Shall I go down and get something?"

Said Luo Yuan walked outside.

Only Huang Jiahui and Wang Shishi were left at a loss, with a vague feeling of something bad.

"Sister Huang, what did Brother Luo do?" Wang Shishi asked curiously.

"I don't know, but I don't think it's a good thing." Huang Jiahui said pretending to be calm.

The two waited for half an hour, and Luo Yuan finally came back. He was holding a piece of green beetle carapace in his hand. Judging from the color of the carapace, this carapace obviously came from a guard-level green beetle. It was only in this place that I found such a piece of fish that slipped through the net.

Although the evolution probability of ordinary green beetles and guard-level green beetles is the same in the identification description, there are differences in this vague text description. To give a very vivid example, the probability is three per thousand and The probability of 7/1000 versus 10% can be described as extremely small, but the magnitudes of the two are definitely different, even sky-high.

Luo Yuan believes that the evolution rate of the guard-level green beetle is definitely higher than that of ordinary green beetles, even if it is the same, there is no loss.

Luo Yuan put the carapace on the table and made a crackling sound.

Huang Jiahui and Wang Shishi suddenly remembered what Luo Yuan said in the car, their faces turned green, and they shook their heads repeatedly.

Luo Yuan saw that the two of them backed down a bit, this is not acceptable, since they both agreed before, it is not acceptable if they don’t want to eat now. He also needs to eat, the pain of one person is not as painful as that of all people, otherwise how can he be psychologically balanced?

Luo Yuan's voice was full of temptation like a pyramid scheme: "I have removed the internal organs and body fluids, and only the muscles of the back are left. This part contains rich nutrients and is definitely more nourishing than any tonic in the world. You have a small The probability of evolution occurs, even if it is not good, it can improve the physique.

Huang Jiahui, do you want to have such a powerful force that you can survive even if human beings perish?

Master Wang, I know you have always been insecure. Do you want to change yourself so that you will no longer be afraid?

Now human life is worthless. Think about how many people died today. I think it is more than a hundred thousand. If we hadn’t happened to be hiding under the underground parking lot today, we would have been among the dead, but this is not over. Maybe we will live After today and tomorrow, I will never be able to open my eyes again. In order to gain the power to protect myself, what is the point of suffering so much? "

Wang Shishi was said to clenched his fists tightly, his blood was boiling, his eyes gradually lit up: "I think, I...I want to become strong, Brother Luo, I will eat."

Huang Jiahui was also said to be overwhelmed, unable to contain herself, and said excitedly: "I eat it too, I will find a pot now!"

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Luo Yuan's mouth, and he said lightly: "Why are you looking for a pot? It's so troublesome, and this thing can only be eaten raw, otherwise it will have no effect."

As if greatly frightened, Huang Jiahui stepped back a few steps, her eyes popping out. She looked at the milky white muscle inside the green beetle's shell, then at Luo Yuan, swallowed involuntarily, and said with difficulty: " Raw... eat raw!"

Wang Shishi also turned pale, and felt her stomach tumbling, she suddenly covered her mouth and rushed to the bathroom quickly.
