Epoch of Twilight

Time passed by every minute and every second, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the heavy footsteps gradually walking away.

From the appearance of the mutant beast to its departure, in just a few minutes, everyone seemed to have collapsed, paralyzed on the ground and motionless.

There are still roars of beasts outside, which are deafening, occasionally mixed with the sound of cannons and human screams. These sounds are like black clouds that are constantly accumulating, making people feel heavy and breathless.

Luo Yuan continued to sit quietly with his eyes closed.

The basement was terribly quiet. I don't know how long it took. The gunfire outside gradually became denser, and the muffled thunder of fighter jets across the sky also began to sound. The whole city began to be noisy, and the intensity of the war suddenly increased. In the basement, Luo Yuan could also smell the faint smell of gunpowder smoke.

"The firepower of the army has suddenly increased, and the fighter jets have been dispatched. It seems that the poisonous fog in the sky has disappeared." Luo Yuan thought to himself, then opened his eyes, his face was solemn.

Luo Yuan originally thought that once the fog cleared and the military began to exert its strength, the war would soon end. But in fact the war lasted from morning to afternoon. Even at night, there was no rest at all, obviously the situation was far worse than Luo Yuan imagined.

Fighting at night is not only less efficient, but the casualties will also increase exponentially, but Hedong City is too important. Since the mutation, all parts of Jiangnan Province have gradually fallen, and a large number of talents and factory equipment have flowed here. In half a year, a new heavy industry base and scientific research base have been formed here. Once Hedong City falls, the entire Jiangnan Province will no longer have a foothold, and all areas will be occupied by green.

There was no shortage of food in the basement, but no one had an appetite. After eating something hastily, they huddled together under the corner again.

After nightfall, the basement gets even darker!

There was a slight itching on the face, Luo Yuan touched it lightly, the wound was pitted one by one, from the morning to now, for such a long time, the wound has formed layers of blood scabs, When you touch it lightly, you will feel a tingling pain.

As long as he is a normal person, there is no one who will not care about disfigurement. When he thinks of a face full of craters in the future, he will look ugly.

"Did you say that tomorrow will end?" In the darkness, Wang Shishi asked timidly with his eyes wide open.

"Master, don't be afraid. Isn't the army already fighting with mutants? It should be over by tomorrow morning. The garrison in Hedong City originally had about 100,000 troops, plus the continuous recall of veterans for nearly half a year. Now There are at least 200,000 people, and because of the fog and lax defenses, the mutant beasts took advantage of it, but now that they have reacted, it is easy to deal with the mutant beasts." Huang Jiahui said in a low voice.

"Brother Luo, Sister Huang, what you said is true!"

Luo Yuan was silent for a while, and said: "Really! Maybe when you wake up tomorrow morning, it will be over."

Is it really going to end so soon? For some reason, Luo Yuan always had a bad feeling.

If you think about it carefully, this time the beast swarm was too abrupt. As soon as Hedong City showed its flaws, the beast swarm began to attack. If it was a coincidence, Luo Yuan would not believe it, because the probability of this is so low that people unbelievable. It's more like there is a black hand behind the scenes directing all this.

While the mutant beasts are becoming stronger, their wisdom is also evolving.

The intelligence level of the mutant beasts that Luo Yuan encountered has improved to varying degrees compared to the protozoa. Although generally speaking, they are still at the intelligence level of wild beasts, it is hard to say that there have been mutations in the intelligence of creatures, breaking through the natural moat of intelligence. , a high degree of intelligence appeared, and it can even control the beasts.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder, if all this was as he had speculated, it would be terrible.

A highly intelligent creature similar to human beings, which is far more terrifying than a powerful mutant creature with a physical body, thousands of times, ten thousand times more terrifying.

For millions of years, human beings have stood out from countless species and become the top of the earth's well-deserved food chain. They have even begun to break out of the shackles of the earth and prepare to explore the starry sky. What we rely on is not our own weak strength, nor our dexterous hands, but wisdom, which seems to be nothing, but is stronger and more magnificent than real strength, and is the driving force for the continuous development and evolution of human beings.

The emergence of a new intelligent race has made the already struggling human beings even worse.

Seeing Wang Shishi's calm face after hearing Luo Yuan's confirmed answer, he sighed softly, as if his heart was wrapped with layers of sticky cobwebs, making people unable to struggle.

As the night progressed, the sound of cannons outside gradually became thinner...

...

The next day, Luo Yuan opened his eyes and moved away the arms and thighs that were pressing on him one by one. He listened quietly for a while. It became even more intense, and even the pungent air that smelled of gunpowder smoke carried a strong smell of blood.

Several women woke up one after another, and when they heard the shaking of the ground outside, their originally rosy faces suddenly turned pale.

After a long time, Luo Yuan stood up and said, "I'll go outside to have a look!"

"You... Be careful." Huang Jiahui was silent for a while before speaking.

Luo Yuan nodded, holding the saber in silence, as soon as he opened the wooden boards in the basement, a wave of heat rushed towards his face, he frowned slightly, and walked out of the bathroom.

The entire villa seemed to be blown by a typhoon of grade 12, and it was in a mess. Deep footprints were left on the marble floor, huge holes were knocked out in several walls, and even a circle with a diameter of half a meter in the hall The pillar in the shape of a V was also broken by the giant beast, and it was struggling to support it in a V shape. There are already several deep cracks in the ceiling, some cracks can almost reach into a fist, and they are precarious.

But Luo Yuan just glanced at it and stopped paying attention.

Through the hole made by the giant beast, there are dilapidated buildings everywhere in front of it. In the distance, black clouds mixed with fiery red hot flames rise from the ground, making deafening noises.

He looked around the community, and saw a scrapped tank at first glance. It was overturned by something, the thick armor on the surface was deeply dented, and the tracks were still idling.

At this time, a giant beast more than five meters tall and shaped like a rhinoceros turned around a building covered in blood, stumbled and hadn't taken a few steps when it was hit repeatedly by fighter jets flying through the air. , Blossoming blood flowers kept splashing on it, and it let out a desperate roar, and it didn't take long before it fell heavily on the ground, twitching all over its body.

After the battle was over, the fighter jets whizzed past the neighborhood at low altitude, but in an instant, they were hit hard by a boulder flying from an office building, and a ball of fire exploded in mid-air.

A fiery red giant orangutan jumped heavily from the top of a high-rise office building that was emitting heavy smoke like a high-ranking king, and a deep hole was directly smashed into the ground by it. It patted its chest vigorously, as if it was beating a dull big drum, making a bang.

This gigantic beast, which was about ten meters high, had red hair like flames, and as it moved around, it seemed to be burning with a layer of flames.

Luo Yuan took a deep breath, and couldn't help taking a step back. Even though the giant beast was hundreds of meters away, he still felt the unscrupulous and terrifying aura. It seemed that even the air was particularly agitated. This mutant beast It is definitely at the dark blue level or even stronger.

A blood-stained woman just rushed out of the burning office building, and then she was so frightened by the extremely violent aura that she collapsed to the ground. Immediately afterwards, a gust of wind blew by, her body tightened, and she was pinched by a huge palm, and the next moment, she was stuffed into her bloody mouth. Luo Yuan could even hear the woman's desperate screams.

At this time, two fighter jets flew over from a distance, and they arrived in an instant. In the next moment, several fire snakes hit the giant beast heavily.

It blocked its eyes with its palms, and let countless aviation shells hit its body, bursting out clusters of sparks. The terrifying impact made it back away continuously. It roared in pain, and after a few steps back, It finally stopped, but the next moment, a cluster of air-to-surface missiles flew across the sky, hitting the giant beast heavily, and its huge body was instantly enveloped in a huge ball of flames.
