Chapter 94: Territory
A building fell horizontally on the opposite street, blocking the entire road tightly, Luo Yuan stood at the crossroads, looked around with an ugly face, gritted his teeth, and turned around to walk towards another street.
In just a few days, the whole city had now become unrecognizable, with collapsed buildings everywhere it passed, a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the pavement, a pile of white human bones was scattered all over the roadside, and a few pieces of broken cloth stained with dark black blood were blown around in the breeze. As soon as Luo Yuan and his party approached, a group of black beetles the size of fingernails scattered out from under the pile of white bones, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Several low-level mutant creatures passed by, and from time to time, a few bold ones stopped, staring at Luo Yuan's group with blood-red eyes, eager to try.
An indescribable rancid smell filled the city.
Dead silence, desolation!
If it weren't for the roars of beasts in the distance, it would have almost turned into a ghost town.
Along the way, Luo Yuan basically didn't encounter a large creature, but if he didn't see it, it didn't exist. Several areas in the distance exuded this oppressive aura, obviously in the past few days, these powerful creatures have redefined their territory, just like the area where he is now is a place where dark blue level creatures are located, this aura is everywhere in this area, like a layer of oppressive clouds on the soul, people can't help but want to turn around and run.
This breath is too far away for ordinary people to perceive. Their perception is too low, their spiritual senses are dull, and even if they walk in the territory of the most powerful mutant beasts, they have no pressure. This is also the reason why you can see low-level mutant beasts living in this area everywhere, but you can't see a light blue-level creature at all.
Among these people, only Master Wang can feel some of them, but he can only feel them slightly, except for some irritability, there are no other abnormalities.
If necessary, Luo Yuan would never want to take this road, but the territory of this mutant beast is too large, five or six square kilometers, and if he bypasses it, he will not only have to take an extra unjust road. What's more, those who can live next to this mutant beast are also not good.
In fact, if it is divided according to the level of mutant beasts, Luo Yuan is already qualified to be evaluated as a light blue-level creature, of course, because of the weapon, the combat power can already fight with the blue-level creatures.
It is quite a risky thing for such a light blue-level creature to enter the territory of a dark blue-level creature, but long-term meditation is not ineffective, especially after mastering the sword technique, he can already skillfully control his will and be familiar with the changes in momentum.
He tried his best to contain all the distractions in the depths of his heart, lest he be detected by the other party, so that several low-level mutant creatures on the road began to be a little eager to try.
With Luo Yuan by her side, Master Wang is not afraid of these low-level creatures, as soon as her mind moves, a two-headed sharp shuttle will spin and fly overhead.
"Don't do it!" Luo Yuan hurriedly stopped in a low voice: "Let's pass through here quickly." ”
"What's wrong?" Huang Jiahui looked at Luo Yuan suspiciously, she realized that Luo Yuan's forehead was already covered with sweat, and his face was ugly and scary, she felt a pang in her heart, which could make Luo Yuan have this kind of emotion, although she didn't know what happened to Lu Dao, but she also knew that Lu Dao must have found something terrible.
"Boss Luo, don't you scare me?" Huo Dong showed a stiff smile on his face, trying to adjust the atmosphere, but his voice trembled involuntarily.
Luo Yuan glanced at everyone, his face sinking like water: "Although I don't want to say it, I can only regret to tell you that there should be a terrible creature here, even if I see it, I can only turn around and run, and we are going to pass through the area here, so from now on everyone can't make a sound, let's run all the way quickly." ”
"That'...... So why don't we take a detour? Ning Xiaoran stammered, this quiet girl was obviously frightened by this solemn atmosphere.
"Beasts have territory, this place is the most dangerous, but on the other hand, this place is also the safest, have you found it, these low-level mutant beasts are everywhere here, we may not be fundamentally different from these mutant rats in the eyes of that powerful mutant beast, or even more insignificant. If you're lucky, you might not get the attention of that powerful mutant at all. Another woman in the group spoke suddenly.
Luo Yuan couldn't help but be a little impressed, he could see that the other party was not afraid, her expression looked very stiff, and being strong was just a disguise on the surface, but even if she was in fear, her mind remained clear, which surprised Luo Yuan.
Seeing Luo Yuan's gaze, Cao Lin couldn't help but feel a little excited in her heart, and straightened her chest.
Cao Lin was the manager of the company's planning department before the end of the world, and in just five years after graduating from university, she was able to step into the ranks of the company's middle and senior management step by step from an ordinary employee in the fierce competition.
As a woman, she has a natural weakness in the last days, she has little strength, she can't run fast, and she is not an evolutionary. Many times it is the fate of being abandoned, and if it is pretty, it may end even more tragically.
If the pressure of competition is far from comparable to that of the pre-apocalyptic world, she wants to live, and even if necessary, she does not mind giving her body.
The other party already has two women, but at least this person doesn't look annoying, and he also respects women, which is enough, what else can be asked for in the last days, women like her age, feelings have long been a luxury, if it is not the end of the world, blind date and then lightning marriage is her most difficult destination, and what kind of love is there in such a marriage, in fact, her family has arranged several blind dates for her before.
It's a pity that he has always stayed away from the women in the team, and he doesn't even have much contact.
Sun Xiaowu didn't want to be compared to women, especially beautiful women, so he laughed dryly: "Maybe that mutant beast is full of food, and it can't look down on us who stuff their teeth." ”
"I'll just listen to the boss, at least it won't hurt me." Chen Xianfeng smiled and touched the dagger on his waist, this dagger was picked up by him on the road, and he didn't know who left it in the panic, so he immediately regarded it as a treasure.
"Since everyone has no doubts, let's go." After waiting for a while, seeing that everyone had finished speaking, Luo Yuan said in a low voice.
Everyone quickly set off again, and several low-level mutant beasts that were still eager to try were suddenly moved by a few people and scattered in a panic.
The street was quiet, only the chaotic footsteps and heavy wheezing of a few people remained, suddenly Luo Yuan raised his hand and made a gesture, and the team immediately stopped, under the nervous gaze of everyone, Luo Yuan turned his head sideways, as if listening to something.
Immediately, he turned and ran, and after a few seconds, he made his way through an alley, gradually increasing his speed.
Although everyone was puzzled, no one doubted, and everything seemed silent.
After a while, a dull and rhythmic sound gradually came from a distance, at first it was a little faint, it seemed to come from a distance, but soon the sound became louder and louder, and the nearby buildings continued to collapse, and even the ground shook it.
Ning Xiaoran couldn't help but look back, only to see a puff of smoke and dust rising from nearby, a hideous behemoth looming in the smoke, and she could even see the black bone spurs that bulged high on the back and a pair of wings that seemed to be a little deformed.
"Oh my God!" She moaned unconsciously, and then covered her mouth tightly, lest she scream, and the fear in her heart was like a beast in the wilderness, running unscrupulously, and worse, her hands and feet began to weaken, and she was about to collapse to the ground.
"I can't be afraid, I don't want to die, Xiao Ran, you can do it."
She was ruthless, biting her lip hard, the sharp stinging pain, so that her body reborn a force, she didn't care about the smell of blood, and forgot that she was a little faint, looking at the team that had run out of more than ten meters in front of her, she panicked, and hurriedly quickened her pace.
Luo Yuan and the others ran for a few minutes, and finally crossed the alley and walked onto another street. He glanced left and right vigilantly, closed his eyes again, and slowly opened them after half a ring, looking at everyone looking at him nervously and nervously, he didn't even dare to gasp, he showed a relaxed smile: "It has left and left, it should be foraging, and then we will be safe, at least this part of the road is safe." ”
Everyone looked tired, obviously unable to run anymore, after all, not everyone has such a strong physical strength as him, and under fear and nervousness, physical strength is consumed rapidly, Luo Yuan looked at his watch, and saw that it was still early, so he said: "Then rest for five minutes." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.
Ning Xiaoran cried for the rest of her life after the catastrophe, under the great joy and sorrow, but after crying a few times, she felt a little confused, and quickly wiped her tears, her clothes were obviously worn for a long time, there were stains everywhere, and there was still blood on her lips.
Huang Jiahui smiled lightly, took out a wet towel from her bag, and handed it over: "Wipe your face." ”
"Xie Lu Xie, Xie Lu Xie!" Ning Xiaoran hurriedly stood up, took the towel, and thanked him shyly.
"This is my towel." Master Wang was a child, and when he saw that Huang Jiahui had taken the wrong towel, he was a little dissatisfied and muttered quietly.
Ning Xiaoran's ears were sharp, and he hurriedly thanked Master Wang again, which made Master Wang at a loss, and his face turned red.
Luo Yuan smiled, and then his face suddenly changed, he pulled out a long knife like lightning, the knife light flashed, and then a dark red thing fell from the air to the ground, this little thing is obviously not dead, the body broken in two keeps writhing, and the whole thing looks like an ant with a pair of transparent wings.
"This seems to be a mutant ant?" Huo Dong leaned over to take a look, and saw that it was still struggling: "This thing's vitality is really tenacious, and it can't die even if it is cut into two pieces." ”
As he spoke, he subconsciously raised his foot and wanted to crush it to death.
Luo Yuan didn't care, but soon found that Huo Dong's face turned red, he stepped on the ant hard, but found that he couldn't step on it, the carapace of the ant was amazingly hard.
Luo Yuan thought of something, his face changed, and he said loudly: "Lift your feet." ”
Huo Dong panicked, and hurriedly lifted his feet, only to see that the ant's sharp mouthparts were constantly biting at the soles of his shoes, and it didn't take long for the soles of the entire pair of sneakers to be bitten by it.
Huo Dong's feet shook again and again, but the half of his body seemed to be stuck to the soles of his shoes, and he couldn't shake it off, and the peace on his face couldn't be tightened anymore, and he begged Luo Yuan with a sad face: "Luo ...... Boss Luo, come and help take this thing off! ”
"Don't move." Luo Yuan snorted.
Huo Dong stopped his flustered movements, and was not ready, but the next moment, he saw a bright light flashing, and he hurriedly looked down to see that the entire sole of his shoe, even the ants with half of his body, had been cut off with a knife.
Luo Yuan flipped over the half-cut sole with the tip of the knife, and gasped, only to see that the entire plastic was constantly corroding where the mouthparts had bitten.
"Its mouthparts can be intensely toxic, and if you don't want your feet to rot, it's best to throw this shoe away and not touch these weird creatures with your body later." Luo Yuan stood up and warned.
Huo Dong was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he hurriedly took off his shoes and threw them far away.
