Chapter 1 There is no ravine in front of the tiger
Mid-spring in February, the season of stinging.
It was supposed to be the season when 'all the stingers were terrorizing, and the plants and trees were all over the place', but the earth was lifeless and lifeless.
On a bleak street, a sewer manhole cover came loose and was lifted away by a hand.
Luo Yan poked out half of his head from the wellhead and looked around vigilantly.
As far as the eye can see, there are broken walls, ruins, and rubble.
Once a city full of traffic and endless streams.
Now the hustle and bustle is gone.
All that remained was dust, paper, blood, and dry bones.
There was dust and stains everywhere, and there was an atmosphere of decay and heaviness.
This is the third year since the Monster Scourge has passed.
When those huge unknown creatures that fell from the sky appeared in this world, in less than half a year, the world went to extinction, and order was gone.
Those who survived will live in hell ever since.
Woo.
The wind is blowing.
The wind ruffled Luo Yan's dark hair, and he quickly got up from the well and covered the lid with a cover.
Under the lid, a rope was tied and knotted with non-slip ropes, which were constantly swayed by the wind.
Luo Yan's clothes were tattered and covered in dirt, and he had a sturdy waist bag hanging from his waist.
His whole body, the parts of his body that would be exposed to the air, were tied with circles of tarps.
Only a pair of red eyes appeared.
At this time, thunder rumbled in the sky.
It's raining.
Luo Yan likes rainy days, and the rain can dilute his smell.
Luo Yan also hates rainy days, which can cause a toxin called 'red poison' to accumulate in large numbers, increasing the chance of infection and aggravating the disease.
'Kuva' is brought about by beings known as 'Behemoths'.
The behemoth's blood comes into contact with the air, spreading the toxin.
It can cause irregular red spots on the surface of the body, as well as redness in the patient's eyes.
When the red spreads all over the pupil, it means that the patient is not far from death.
It's like Luo Yan.
The red in his eyes was almost occupying his pupils.
Bang la blah.
The rain washed over the land, stirring up a smell of mud.
Luo Yan had already pulled down the diving goggles he was wearing on his head to protect his eyes.
He put on a waterproof helmet again, so that it was 'poison-proof'.
Next, Luo Yan skillfully walked through the streets.
Passed by a dilapidated hot pot restaurant and walked past a collapsed movie theater.
His eyes suddenly burned and he quickly stopped.
At this moment, Luo Yan's eyes became dazed, as if he had lost focus.
In his line of sight, the scene of the street suddenly became a little dim.
He saw a few gray lights walking forward at the intersection ahead, and soon there would be an entrance.
This magical 'vision' appeared after the 'Giant Beast Catastrophe'.
Before the disaster struck, Luo Yan searched the Internet for an ancient book called "Zhuyuan Decision" and came back.
According to the seller, this is a treasure that he dug up from an ancient tomb at the risk of death.
It is a lost cultivation method.
It's a kind of visualization.
Luo Yan was obsessed with these things for a while.
After I bought it, I really practiced according to the content of the ancient book.
But it didn't work.
But after the 'Giant Beast Natural Calamity', Luo Yan clearly felt that this so-called 'visualization technique' began to play a role.
Every time he practiced, he could feel a little warmth injecting into his body, and before long, there were more warm currents rushing to the top of his head.
It didn't take long for him to realize that he was sometimes able to see visions.
He could see the gray glow of humans, giant parasites, behemoths, and other creatures.
Just like now, he can always detect danger in advance.
Luo Yan immediately slowed down and silently shrank into the trunk of a car next to him.
Only one gap remains.
A moment later, some creatures as large as wolfdogs passed by.
It looks like a tick, has a wolf-like head, a pointed palate, and a protruding nose.
Four or five of these things passed by the nearby streets, stopping from time to time to look around.
Very alert.
This is the wolf tick, one of the parasites on the giant beast.
In the past two years or so, Luo Yan had dealt with them many times.
It is clear that these things have a keen sense of hearing, and they move when they smell fish.
Good at sucking blood, fierce and cruel, and in groups of three or five, rarely alone.
Encountering a wolf tick, Luo Yan was not surprised at all.
Because in the depths of the city, in the area of what was once the center of the city, there is a giant beast lurking.
A living beast!
It has a sheep-faced human body, tiger teeth and claws, and its voice is like a baby's cry.
At night, if you hear a baby crying, it's the beast calling.
It has already used the cry of a baby more than once to lure its prey to take the bait.
In the trunk of the car, after the wolf ticks were gone, Luo Yan left cautiously.
It didn't take long.
He crawled out of a vent.
At the other end of the vent is a supermarket.
The supermarket collapsed in large areas, but the area around the food area miraculously survived.
So it became Luo Yan's 'secret granary'.
It's just that because of the passage in and out, only the exhaust pipe of the supermarket remains, Luo Yan can't bring too much food out at once.
He didn't want to.
Because that will arouse suspicion, attract attention, and invite yourself to kill.
There will be no police to maintain order now.
If you want to live, you have to rely on yourself for everything.
At this time, Luo Yan's waist bag already contained seven or eight individually wrapped bread and ham sausages.
Even though these things have expired, they are still able to be eaten thanks to preservatives.
As for whether you will get sick after eating it, no one cares about this now.
If you have to eat, you can eat!
On the way back, the rain stopped.
Luo Yan's steps were also a little brisker.
These breads and ham sausages were enough for him to eat for a week.
Thinking of this, Luo Yan felt a burst of satisfaction and happiness.
It's a pity that happiness comes and goes quickly.
When Luo Yan came to the intersection where the wolf tick had been found, his eyes burned slightly.
Then I saw a humanoid gray light and shadow appear in a bus with a collapsed top next to it.
Luo Yan made a quick decision, turned around and ran.
"Damn, this kid is quite clever." Someone cursed in the bus, and then a strong man rushed out.
The body is burly, and his hands and face are covered with hideous scars.
He immediately whistled.
In front of me, in an Internet café with an unknown gate, two more men ran out.
He either has a knife or a stick in his hand.
All with weapons.
Three men blocked Luo Yan's way back and forth.
Luo Yan squinted slightly, and took out an automatic pistol from behind his waist.
Open the safety and pull the leash to load.
Slightly arching his body, Luo Yan made a standard shooting motion and slowly stepped back.
"Don't don't, make money with harmony."
The strong man, who was obviously the leader, raised his hands and tried to squeeze out a smile: "I have heard that Little Brother Luo is clear, where there is something to eat, where there is medicine to take, you can feel it clearly." ”
"Don't worry, the brothers know the rules and won't ask where those places are."
"It's just that you see that we have been hungry for several days, and seeing that Brother Luo's waist is bulging, there will definitely be a lot of gains."
"It's better to give us a little food."
"In the future, we have a few brothers, but the little brother Luo is the first to look forward!"
While the strong man spoke, the other two men walked behind the strong man, intentionally or unintentionally.
One of the horse-faced men quietly reached for a pistol.
It turned out that he wanted to use the cover of a strong man to kill Luo Yan by surprise.
But this time.
A cold glint appeared in Luo Yan's eyes.
The strong man immediately knew that something was wrong and screamed to lie down.
Bang!
Gunfire rang out.
Even though he had tightly grasped the handle of the gun with both hands, Luo Yan's two arms still uncontrollably swung into the air, and he only felt as if his hands were about to leave him!
However, this shot caused a bullet hole in the horse-faced man's forehead, and the back of his head was blown up.
Blood, brains, and hairy scalps sprinkled on the faces of his companions behind him.
The man was suddenly incontinent.
Luo Yan ran away with his legs.
Rush to the sewer mouth where you came.
At this time, the strong man got up, first went to pick up the gun that the horse-faced man dropped on the ground, and then pushed the rest of his companions: "Hurry up and give it to me, do you want to eat!" ”
The man woke up like a dream, wiped the blood off his face, and chased after the strong man.
The strong man shoots.
It's a pity that the marksmanship is too poor, and he finally hit Luo Yan.
Luo Yan had already rushed to the mouth of the sewer.
Drill down now.
And grabbed the rope tied to the manhole cover.
Pull down with the weight of your own body!
The lid closes.
The strong man scolded and ran to the side, threw away the pistol, and was about to open the manhole cover.
Suddenly.
He heard a strange noise.
Rustle—
His face changed, and when he turned around, he saw four or five wolf ticks flying towards him.
Those things had eight legs and ran fast.
The strong man's face changed greatly, and he shouted: "Brother Luo, quickly take the manhole cover away and let us go down." ”
"We were wrong."
"We shouldn't have beaten your mind."
"You adults don't care about villains, give us a way to live!"
Under the manhole cover, Luo Yan's eyes were calm and waveless.
As if he didn't hear the strong man's words, he still held on to the rope.
And, he rolled over and stood upside down, his legs firmly on both sides of the manhole cover.
Pull the lid tight with all your strength to keep it from opening.
Soon.
Screams rang out from above, cursing rang out, gunshots rang out.
But the sounds quickly faded away.
All that's left is the gurgling sound of pumping.
Luo Yan knew that those wolf ticks were sucking the blood of the two men.
That shot just now, even if it didn't kill the horse's face, it doesn't matter.
Luo Yan shot mainly to attract the wolf ticks.
Those things, if there's anything going on nearby, you can't hide them.
And when they smell blood, they go crazy, lose their minds, and instinctively attack their prey.
As long as the wolf tick is lured, those two men will not be lucky!
After a few moments, the rain that flowed through the drainage hole in the manhole cover gradually mixed with a hint of blood.
It wasn't until there was no more movement from above that Luo Yan let go of the rope and climbed the ladder from the well to the surface.
Luo Yan took out a flashlight from his waist bag, turned it on, and walked forward.
After walking one way, I came to the surface through another exit.
He had to go to the pharmacy again.
He had to find some painkillers, otherwise he would have a hard time with the 'red poison'.
On the way to his destination, he suddenly felt a tremor in the earth.
It looks like a giant beast traveling!
Luo Yan hurriedly hid in a shoe store.
After a moment, he didn't see the beast.
Instead, I saw a convoy!
The convoy had three heavy trucks that could be called 'monsters', and the carriages were almost a huge building, and I didn't know what was inside.
Each wheel was almost as tall as Luo Yan, and to get into the cab, you even had to climb a ladder of almost two meters.
The shaking of the ground is mainly caused by them.
In addition to these three heavy trucks of the 'Monster' class, there are several armored vehicles with antennas and radars on their roofs.
But more often than not, off-road vehicles with anti-aircraft machine guns.
It's an army!
Luo Yan couldn't help but get excited.
There is an army, which means that there is organization.
If there is organization, there may be an antidote to the 'black poison!'
Luo Yan, I don't want to die!
And he knew that time was running out for himself.
Maybe you can live for half a year.
Or even shorter!
The convoy rumbled past the side.
An armored car with huge metal ramming angles clears the way.
Drive deeper into the city with the car behind.
Luo Yan hurriedly followed.
Fortunately, this metropolis, which was once nicknamed the 'City of Flowers', is now full of obstacles, making it quite slow for convoys to pass.
Otherwise, Luo Yan doubted that he would be able to keep up.
Judging by the direction in which the convoy is traveling.
Luo Yan boldly speculated that they were going to the city center, to the area of the 'Galaxy Stadium'!
But there are giant beasts lurking there.
What are these people going to do there?
Is it to annihilate the behemoth?
This made Luo Yan a little incredulous.
After the 'Giant Beast Disaster', the survivors of Flower City have all hid underground.
The behemoth with a sheep's face built its nest in the Galaxy Coliseum, but as long as it didn't get close to that area, it would be fine.
Of course.
It's not just the beast that threatens the city.
There are also the various parasites that the giant beasts have scattered throughout the city.
Even so, the survivors still don't want to leave the city.
Because it's even worse out of town.
In the current lack of long-distance transportation, if you run into a giant parasite outside the city, or simply run into a giant beast.
The odds of survival will be infinitely close to zero.
Luo Yan shook his head to make himself more concentrated.
He used his 'magical vision' to capture the gray light that represented life, and followed the convoy far behind.
At this time, he saw that on the left side of the street in front of him, a dense gray light cluster appeared.
Behemoth Parasite Cluster!
Suddenly, a question arose in Luo Yan's mind: To follow or not to follow?
Follow, may die, but have a chance to get the antidote.
If you don't follow, you will retreat, and you can be safe for a while.
Almost instantly.
Luo Yan already had the answer.
"There is no ravine in front of the tiger!"
His gaze was determined, and instead of stopping, he quickened his pace.
When the convoy was reduced by half the distance, the gunshots suddenly rang out!
Bang bang.
The full impact of the gunfire made Luo Yan's eyes glaze over, and he immediately fell to the ground.
Then he saw.
Countless parasites have emerged from the streets, from the gaps in buildings, doors and windows, from under the chassis of cars.
Converged into a black wave and slapped towards the convoy.
The anti-aircraft machine guns on those off-road vehicles of the convoy roared and roared.
The smell of gunpowder immediately filled the air.
The black wave was hindered, and the bullets were constantly pumped into the air by insects, blasting to pieces.
At this time, some parasites that looked like mites but had a human face on their bodies jumped frantically onto the 'monster' trucks.
They are 'human-faced mites', a type of giant parasite.
These things are very stubborn.
As soon as they entangle their prey, they 'settle down' and anchor themselves to their target with their sharp, barbed limbs.
This will then release a biological acid of incredible intensity, which can melt a large living person in about 10 seconds.
Now, a large number of 'human mites' are attached to the beds of heavy trucks.
These basin-sized bugs quickly release biological acids to melt the envelope.
But.
The fleet clearly has a targeted approach.
Around the heavy truck compartments, a cloud of smoke suddenly erupted.
After the smoke evaporated, the insects attached to the body froze and fell.
Luo Yan gasped when he saw it.
I'm glad I wasn't reckless, otherwise he would have been frozen into ice now.
Suddenly.
Luo Yan saw that the envelope of a heavy truck at the back of the convoy had been melted into an irregular gap!
The surrounding insect swarm is almost dead!
Here's your chance.
Luo Yan patiently, holding his impulse, until the two off-road vehicles near the truck were cleaned of the remaining bugs.
When he rushed to the front of the convoy to support, Luo Yan rushed out!
He passed by the corpses and came to the slow-moving truck.
Take a hard leap.
He grabbed the crash barrier, which was two meters above the ground.
Climbed up.
Just as he was about to climb into the gap.
Jerked.
A dark shadow jumped on the ground.
It's a human face mite!
Luo Yan could see the thing's soft, sponge-like belly.
See it dance wildly with seven or eight legs.
A cold glint flashed in Luo Yan's red eyes.
He struggled to throw the dagger out.
The dagger turned into a black line and stabbed into the soft belly of the human face mite, causing it to squeak and fall to the ground with a squeak.
Luo Yan didn't dare to relax, and hurriedly climbed up and got into the carriage through the gap.
The moment he entered the carriage, a flower suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and some blurred light and shadow flashed.
The heart is pounding.
Giving birth to some strange feelings.
This made Luo Yan fall down all of a sudden.
Luckily, there was no one in the car.
Otherwise, this movement alone is enough to attract attention.
He quickly looked up and looked out of the carriage.
The space in the carriage is incredible.
There is a behemoth in front, covered with a tarp and secured with ropes to prevent it from flying.
Luo Yan hurriedly hid it.
He was glad that he had succeeded, but at this moment, a shrill alarm sounded in the carriage.
Luo Yan thought he had been discovered.
Unexpectedly.
The radio in the carriage sounded at the same time: "Attention! Note! Detect that the space shock wave can reach the tipping point! ”
"The 'Yanfu Space' will open in three seconds."
"Three, two, one........"
"Yanfu Space is open!"
"Behemoths are coming soon!"
"Enter the first level of combat readiness!"
"All mech compartments unfolded."
"The mech is ready to start!"
