When they got closer, they found that this was a huge lighthouse, about fifty or sixty meters high, and there were a few more in the distance, and its role was naturally not to guide the direction.

It emitted a blinding light, like a small sun in the darkness, illuminating the entire surrounding area as bright as day.

Attracted by the light source, countless mutated insects gathered densely near the lighthouse, and then they were shot down to the ground one by one by huge electric arcs that exploded from time to time.

The foundation of the lighthouse had already been completely covered by insect corpses, and even when Luo Yuan and his party crossed the lighthouse, in just ten minutes, the corpses on the ground had almost increased by thirty or forty centimeters. I am afraid that by dawn tomorrow, the lighthouse will be completely buried with corpses.

The lighthouse was like a giant insect vacuum cleaner, almost sweeping away all the insects in the vicinity, and it was rare to see insects on Luo Yuan's subsequent path.

After passing three lighthouses one after another, the outline of the city gradually emerges.

It was a dark city, it was close to eight o'clock in the evening, and the night was already thick, but the city in the distance had no light, and it was completely immersed in darkness, and if it weren't for the large number of chimneys like dense forests in front of them, spewing out a large amount of smoke, the group would have thought that the city had fallen.

The air was filled with a pungent industrial stench, some sour and some choking, which seemed to be richer and more pungent than before the end of the world. This makes the nose and lungs, which have become a little pampered by the fresh air, very uncomfortable, and many people can't help coughing repeatedly.

These industrial exhaust gases may not be treated much before they are discharged into the air.

But at this moment, even the most extreme environmentalists are fanatically shouting long live industry, and at least many of the people in the group sniff from time to time and look intoxicated.

……

"What's over there? Fences? Luo Yuan asked curiously, pointing to a circle of shadows on the outskirts of the city.

Lian Commander Xia didn't have as good eyesight as Luo Yuan, but he also knew what he was asking: "This is a carnivorous vine, this thing is quite dangerous, it can be preyed on like an animal, we generally use it as a wall here, it is better than a real wall, although it can't prevent those large mutant beasts, but it can prevent some small mutant beasts from entering." ”

This carnivorous vine, about five meters high, has a large mouth like a flower, opening and closing from time to time, exuding a sweet and greasy fragrance that attracts the prey closer. After the end of the world, this kind of plant is not uncommon, Luo Yuan has seen no less than ten kinds of plants along the way, but he still looks at these plants with some surprise several times.

The group went around and found the door, which was a huge wooden door six meters high and five meters wide, and the wooden door was closed at this time, and as soon as the group walked to the door, a hidden speaker sounded.

"Everyone stops, who are you, what unit?"

"We're survivors from outside!" Luo Yuan didn't want to cause trouble and shouted.

The voice on the other side was stunned for a few seconds, and then arrived: "Please point at the camera and show your pass, and stay where you are for inspection." ”

Luo Yuan glanced at it, and sure enough, he found a few cameras, he jumped off the monitor lizard, took out his documents and shook it, and then waited patiently, the efficiency of the sentry at the door was very high, and after half a minute, the door slowly opened.

A group of four soldiers came out in full gear.

One of them carefully checked the pass that Luo Yuan handed over, and looked up at Luo Yuan: "This is yours, what about the others?" Everybody came down to check. ”

Maybe the usual tough and commanding tone of the other party's law enforcer, Luo Yuan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he quickly relaxed, and he reminded himself that this was no longer a wilderness, but a reconstruction area, not everyone would look at his face and act, he had to get used to it.

Everyone had no choice but to come down and take out their documents, and after comparing the photos of everyone and the documents one by one, the man said again: "There is no problem with the documents, but unfortunately, we have not had any survivors in Desert City in the past two months, so the service center has been canceled, and all the work cannot be carried out." I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the city today, so you'll have to wait until tomorrow. ”

"What are you talking about, we have come all the way here, and we have all arrived at the door, do we still have to sleep outside for one night." Before Luo Yuan could speak, Lin Xiaoji couldn't help but say, his face was angry, and the others were also ugly.

"I'm really sorry, this is something that can't be helped, especially the most important quarantine work at night can't be carried out, for the safety of Desert Earth City, we can't let you in." The soldier said with a serious face.

Lin Xiaoji wanted to say more, but was stopped by Luo Yuan: "Don't say it, let's stay outside for one night!" ”

"Thank you for your understanding!" The soldier said with a cold face.

The door slowly closed again. Looking at the city in the darkness in front of him, the original excitement became a little dull.

The group retreated a few hundred meters and chose a relatively flat place as a campsite for tonight, and then picked up some dry firewood nearby and lit the campfire.

The atmosphere of the group was a little dull, and even Luo Yuan's face was a little gloomy, and he also understood that these were necessary procedures. They are always in the wild, and they may have unknown germs on them, and it is impossible for them to enter directly. But understanding is one thing, but when it really happens to you, it's particularly unpleasant.

After chatting for a while, everyone thought about their own thoughts. Tomorrow we will enter the reconstruction area, and there are many things that we don't need to think about in normal times.

Such as work, such as life!

These two ordinary words before the end of the world are so beautiful now, it makes people intoxicated to think about it.

For most people, war weariness is the common idea, after all, there is only one life, and people always seek stability. At this time, the city not far away is so peaceful and peaceful, even outside the city, it is difficult to find a mutant beast, here and outside seem to be two worlds, one is heaven and the other is hell.

Here they don't need to take any more risks, they don't need to be afraid! You can even go to and from work on time as before, which is an idea that used to feel like a luxury even if you thought about it.

Today the moon is very round, the bright moonlight, exuding a charming halo, Luo Yuan can't remember what day it is, and he doesn't know if it's summer or autumn, he always feels that the end of the world has been a long time away from now, so long that he is about to forget it.

At this time, Luo Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, and he came back to his senses from his discrete thoughts.

The ground shook slightly, accompanied by a slight friction sound, and the next moment, there seemed to be the sound of a building collapsing in the distance, as well as the sound of people screaming, and he stood up and looked into the distance.

The sound seems to be similar to that of the desert bug I encountered before.

"What's wrong with Luo Yuan?" Seeing Luo Yuan stand up suddenly, Huang Jiahui asked suspiciously.

Everyone didn't have Luo Yuan's keen hearing, and they didn't know what was going on!

Luo Yuan shook his head and said, "It's okay!" ”

It was too far away from where it had happened, and the bug was so elusive that even if he rushed there, it would be useless, and besides, the city couldn't be defenseless.

The sound of the collapse of the building came from time to time, the cries and screams were almost connected, and the hysterical screams, even if they were several kilometers away, Luo Yuan could still feel the fear and despair of those people.

The city's defense system was very efficient, and in a few minutes the sound of gunfire and artillery rang out, diluted by the air, dull and faint.

But then Luo Yuan's face changed slightly, and there was more than one insect coming here.
