Chapter 205: First Night
Feeling the strange gaze of others, Zhao Yali hurriedly wiped her tears, lowered her head in disguise, and her face was slightly red.
"Have you found out what abilities you've acquired?" Cao Lin asked, with envy and curiosity in her eyes.
Feeling that all eyes were looking at this side, Zhao Yali didn't dare to raise her head, she looked at her hand, clenched her fist again, and tested it for about half a minute before she said softly: "I don't know, it seems that the strength is a little stronger, and the skin has changed a little." ”
"Hey, your skin has become so slippery, and now it's almost the same as Luo Yuan!" Wang Xiaguang next to him took Zhao Yali's hand and said with a look of surprise.
Zhao Yali's face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly withdrew her hand.
Huo Dong and the others secretly glanced at Luo Yuan, wanting to see what Luo Yuan's expression would be, but everyone saw an extremely calm face. But come to think of it, how could a person like Boss Elo, who is so strong that he is almost a god, care about this kind of thing.
Seeing that Zhao Yali was slightly disappointed, Luo Yuan comforted: "This is the surface of the evolved body, not the ability to evolve, your strength has become greater and your skin has become better, which means that your body is gradually transforming under the effect of evolution, and this transformation will last for a long time."
And the evolutionary ability is generally very hidden, and you may not be able to find it when you look for it, and when you don't look for it, it will appear unintentionally. This is the case with many people, including me, and not everyone can discover their abilities as soon as they evolve. ”
Zhao Yali breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Under the licking and licking of the flames, the meat was already roasted and golden, Huo Dong stood up with a few people, took off the whole mutant beast on the shelf, mated it with leaves the size of a fan, divided it into more than a dozen parts with a knife, and put it in front of everyone.
Although there is no salt, the barbecue is bland and tasteless, but the aroma is fragrant and the meat is smooth and tender, so it is not difficult to swallow.
Luo Yuan chewed the food slowly, while carefully paying attention to the surrounding situation out of the corner of his eyes, the forest in the dark night is the most dangerous, some predatory mutant beasts will choose this time period to move and hunt, before because of the huge movement caused by the transport plane falling from the sky, so that all the creatures here quickly escaped, but after such a long time, and the smell of food during the barbecue, it was enough to cause some bold predators to approach.
In fact, a pair of ghostly eyes had indeed appeared around, emitting a faint light that was erratic in the darkness.
They hide behind trees, crawl on the ground, and some are even dexterous and even hide among the lush foliage, slowly approaching here under the cover of darkness.
Perhaps because of the bad environment, most of the organisms here are on the small side.
Jiangnan Province is a flat river, the plants are sparse, and all the creatures have no space pressure, so they are allowed to develop. But before the end of the world, it was a deep mountain and old forest, with dense plants, thick and hard trunks, and intertwined branches and leaves, which made the sky form an impermeable green network.
But being small doesn't mean it's not dangerous, it's more tricky than some big, bloated creatures.
Most of these creatures are agile, walk like the wind, and are extremely vigilant, turning and fleeing at the slightest hint of wind or the arrival of more powerful predators, and soon disappear without a trace.
Before the end of the world, the mountains here were not burned and destroyed like Jiangnan, so the species here are abundant, the food chain is perfect, the competition is extremely fierce and cruel, and they can still survive until now, and they have evolved their own means of survival.
Cao Lin saw that the bonfire was gradually getting smaller, got up and set the fire, the sparks exploded, the flames jumped several feet high, and several mutant beasts that were about to hide in the dark hurriedly took a few steps back, looking at the flames, with some hesitation and fear in their eyes.
It's a fear that's engraved deep in their genes, and it's been passed down from generation to generation with forest fires, and even if it's mutated and become stronger, it's an instinct that can't be changed.
Seeing that these creatures were still afraid of fire, Luo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, if every mutant creature here participated in the siege, he would not be able to protect everyone.
"You say, this time the military region will send us a death notice, and my wife doesn't know what will happen when the time comes?" A soldier said with a gloomy face.
"You still have my wife, and I don't have any more." A soldier muffled.
"I haven't been home for a long time, and it's also a occupied area, so it's probably gone!" Another soldier sighed.
"We are at least alive, but many of our brothers are dead, and we can't even find their bodies, which is so miserable." A soldier's face flashed with pain.
It is expressly forbidden for the troops to talk about these things, so as not to demoralize the army, and Company Commander Xia opened his mouth to stop it, but in the end he sighed.
seemed to be moved by the soldiers, Huang Jiahui's eyes were a little rosy, obviously thinking of her relatives, she gently hugged Chen Jiayi, her daughter will be so old in a few years.
Zhong Chuqiang and Deng Chao, the two children, looked at Chen Jiayi in Huang Jiahui's arms with envy, and they obviously felt that Chen Jiayi was more liked by everyone along the way.
The night was getting deeper, the mountain wind was howling, and the wolves were crying.
Finally, a mutant beast lost its patience, and took advantage of the sound of the wind to step on small and gentle steps from the darkness, and quietly walked towards this side. Its body is slender, its body is light, its limbs are thick and powerful, like an enlarged black spirit deer, it walks silently, and its shadow is faint, as if it has melted into the darkness.
Even Luo Yuan didn't notice it for a while, and it wasn't until it was close to twenty meters that perception captured it.
But at this time, it had stopped and started the final pounce, the muscles of its whole body flowed like mercury, and the next moment, it suddenly kicked violently, and its light body instantly crossed a distance of twenty meters, targeting one of the children in front of it, Zhong Chuqiang.
This is the beast's instinct to hunt and eat, always choosing the most effortless and least injurious way, in its eyes, except for the one it holds, he is the weakest one.
From accumulating strength, kicking legs, and then landing on the ground, the whole process was only a second, Zhong Chuqiang only felt that there seemed to be a gust of wind blowing on the back of his neck, and he felt goosebumps, but there was no reaction at all, and then he lowered his head, opened his dense sharp teeth, and bit towards Zhong Chuqiang's neck.
Except for Luo Yuan, no one here noticed it.
He slapped the ground hard, from the body that was originally sitting on the ground, standing without warning, and the next moment, the body seemed to be elongated, directly over the fire, and the cleaver at his waist was quickly pulled out, extending into a straight line along his arm.
The mutant creature opened its mouth, Luo Yuan had already stood up, and as soon as he lowered his head less than an inch, the tip of the knife instantly stabbed through its jaw, quickly passed through the upper jaw, and finally penetrated through the back of the head, its mouth was suddenly stuck by the blade, and it couldn't move anymore.
The mutant beast twitched a few times, and the pupils of its eyes gradually dilated.
It was only at this time that Zhong Chuqiang reacted, turned around and looked at the convulsive mutant beast behind him that was stuck by Luo Yuan's slashing knife and froze there, his face turned pale with fright, and he collapsed to the ground.
Although Deng Chao next to him was also afraid, his eyes were staring at Luo Yuan with a look of adoration.
Luo Yuan pulled back the knife, picked up its fur, and threw it next to the fire: "Everyone be careful, it's not safe here." ”
Everyone was scared for a while, cold sweat was dripping on their backs, and they were all touched by mutant beasts, and they didn't even notice anything, if Luo Yuan hadn't found out in advance this time, I'm afraid there would have been attrition here.
…………………………
After this time, as soon as there was a stir, everyone immediately became highly vigilant, and their eyes looked behind them from time to time, although most of them were scaring themselves, but they also scared off many low-level mutant beasts who tried to come and sneak attack.
The night passed quickly, the sky gradually brightened, and the mutant beasts that hunted around gradually dispersed.
Except for Luo Yuan, everyone was tired, and the spirit of the night was tense, which was even more tired than a day of work, but now is obviously not the time to rest, everyone began to get busy, cooking and cooking, collecting firewood and collecting firewood, but they didn't dare to go far.
The forest here has become extremely strange and dangerous, and there is no longer a familiar qiē before the end of the world, and even the danger hidden at every step. Everyone tied their trouser legs tightly, and then wrapped them in a few layers of leaves before they dared to go outside.
This naturally does not include Luo Yuan.
The forest in the early morning smells clear and rotten.
In the bushes, a strange little beast with golden stripes on its back vigilantly paid attention to the surroundings, carefully poked its head out of the cave, its ears fanned slightly, listened to the surrounding movements, saw that there was no danger for a long time, it quickly rushed to the branch of a big tree, the fluffy hands picked up the young shoots of the leaves, quickly gnawed the delicate stems and leaves, the action was flexible and efficient, in just a few seconds, all the young leaves on a branch had entered its belly.
As Luo Yuan's footsteps approached, it was covered in a spirit, its fluffy hair instantly stood upside down, it quickly jumped down from the tree, and after a few jumps, it quickly burrowed out of the bushes, and there was no movement.
This place is located in the valley, the air is filled with a stream of water vapor, Luo Yuan's nose smells the smell of humidity in the air, and keeps walking forward, not walking a few hundred meters, Luo Yuan heard the sound of water splashing, not far away, there is a three-meter-wide stream, clear to the bottom, gurgling through here.
There are many fish in the stream, many of which are more than half a meter long.
The discovery of the water source made Luo Yuan feel very good, and he was planning to catch a mutant fish with a spear on the spot and then go back. At this time, he heard a scream in the distance, and the voice seemed to be Zhao Yali, he chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly sped up his speed and returned to the original way, and when he went back, he saw that everyone was gathered together, with a heavy face and a hint of horror.
His heart couldn't help but sink!
