Chapter 184: Afterglow
The entire battle fell from contact with the opponent, which lasted only thirty seconds in total, but Luo Yuan was sweating profusely and steamed all over his body, as if he had just been fished out of the sauna.
Luo Yuan seemed to knock it down easily, but it was just a way to attack its weaknesses with his strengths. In fact, this giant was quite terrifying.
Whether it is his mysterious invisibility ability or the strange attack in his eyes, it is very different from ordinary mutant creatures. It is like a mutant beast having evolutionary ability, especially the invisibility ability, which can perfectly deceive Luo Yuan's perception. This is the first time he encountered this situation.
You should know that the principle of discrimination between perception and naked eyes is completely different. Simple optical invisibility can deceive the eyes, but cannot hide perception. However, this giant, even if he was close to him before, could not be found. If it weren't for the oppression of momentum, the other party had a subtle flaw, I'm afraid the battle would end before it could be fought.
As for the strange attack in his eyes, although he had no contact, Guangguang's feeling of approaching death, he still felt scared when he thought about it. It was like walking on the edge of life and death, and the danger was conceivable.
After the battle, everyone ran over quickly.
"You are not injured, are you?" Huang Jiahui asked with a worried look on her face, and saw Luo Yuan shook her head.
She breathed a lot of relief: "I'm so scared, why are there such a creature?"
She was curious and a little scared to look at the giant's huge body: "Is this a mutant? Very... so big"
The corpse was lying on the ground, occupying seven meters long, with thick and powerful limbs, with a strong sense of power. Even if he died, it still exuded a terrible aura. It was covered with green hair, and the hair on its head was a little sparse, with a short, thick dark green horn on it. The most noticeable thing was that a string of polished stone chains hung on his chest.
This is obviously a trace of wisdom. I am afraid that no other mutant beasts can do such things except for mutant people.
"No, why do I feel it doesn't look like it?" Huo Dong hesitated and said: "No matter how mutated the mutant people mutate, there are some characteristics of humans. Just like Chen Xianfeng, you can always see what a human is like. This is too different from a human, and I'm afraid it's a mutant beast."
"It seems that it is true." Cao Lin didn't dare to get close, but pointed at the other party's hands and feet from afar and said: "Look at it, it only has four fingers, each with five sections, and the same is true for toes."
Everyone soon found more evidence, such as having six breasts on it, a short tail that had not yet been degenerated, and a no apparent nose except for two holes.
The atmosphere suddenly cooled down, no one spoke again, and everyone's face was shocked and fearful.
"You go and see Zhao Yali?" Wang Xiaguang broke the silence and said to Luo Yuan.
Luo Yuan sighed, nodded, and ran over quickly.
Zhao Yali squatted beside Lao Huang's body, sobbing softly, touching its increasingly cold body, tears flowing out of nowhere.
"You... are you okay?" Luo Yuan walked to her and squatted down, hesitated for a moment, and asked softly. He knew that since the end of the world, Lao Huang, as a mutant beast, has always been her greatest support. With the loyal support of this mutant beast, she can walk to the present safely in the sinister end of the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that love is the closest relative.
"Woo woo..." Zhao Yali finally broke down and hugged Luo Yuan, crying to the top of her lungs, tearing her liver and lungs, which was moving.
Several women nearby also had red eyes and couldn't help but shed tears.
Luo Yuan touched Lao Huang, who was already a little stiff, and felt a little uncomfortable. He sighed and said, "Look at it for the last time, we will bury it later."
Zhou Yicheng seemed to want to say something, but looking at the expressions of the others around him, he finally closed his mouth tightly.
The pit was naturally dug by the giant lizard and opened directly on the sloped mountain wall next to it. This time the giant lizard had no previous escape. It actively threw a big hole into the mountain wall with its claws. Lao Huang's death seemed to have also affected its mood. It became particularly silent, and it did not show any impatience from beginning to end.
When Lao Huang threw it into the pit and his body was buried in gravel, the giant lizard lowered his head and sniffed it at the grave, raised his head and let out a huge roar, as if seeing Lao Huang off.
Zhao Yali cried so hard that she was not as good as the person. Lao Huang's departure was a huge blow to her.
The tombstone is a whole piece of raw stone cut on one side, which is more than three meters high. After Luo Yuan asked Zhao Yali what he meant, he wrote: "The Tomb of the Loyal Dog Lao Huang"
After everything was over, the giant lizard did something jaw-dropping. It ran to the giant's corpse and began to bite wildly. Soon its entire belly was torn open, and its internal organs flowed all over the ground, and then began to swallow the internal organs in big mouthfuls.
The scene was bloody, and the children's faces were pale and they didn't dare to watch them again.
Huang Jiahui pulled him, because the creature was human-shaped, and was afraid of leaving the giant lizard with the idea that humans could eat. However, this time Luo Yuan did not stop it. Perhaps the object was hurting its species. Lao Huang's death caused the giant lizard to be greatly stimulated. Soon all internal organs were hollowed out by the giant lizard, and then he stopped.
Luo Yuan drove the giant lizard with bloody mouth to the side, walked to the giant's head, and cut off the small horn above his head with a knife light. The dark green horn attracted special attention, which made Luo Yuan notice it at a glance, and then dug out its eyes. These eyes can make strange attacks, which may have special uses. As for other bones, flesh and blood, Luo Yuan was not very interested.
It’s not because of taboos on humanoid creatures. After living in the end of the world for so long, there are no boring ideas. As long as you are not human and without poison, you can eat them. However, you still need to rush to go, bringing these flesh and blood to emit a strong smell of blood all the way, which may cause unnecessary trouble.
The boulder was broken, and the access was much easier. In less than half an hour, the giant lizard dredged the expressway into a road where it could pass.
Everyone climbed onto the giant lizard and set off on the road again.
The rain had stopped unknowingly, and the moonlight fell through the layers of dark clouds, bringing a hint of light to the darkness.
Traces of villages, broken walls, broken glazed tiles, and decaying bricks and stones appeared from time to time around, and as Luo Yuan and others passed quickly, they appeared and disappeared from time to time. As time went by, there were more and more traces of buildings on both sides, and the plants gradually became sparse. Damaged tall buildings were gradually appearing in front of them.
The water level here rises very quickly, some low-rise buildings have been flooded by the water surface, and even highways with very large sections are covered with water.
"Have you reached the suburbs?" Huo Dong looked at the city with unrecognizable face and was filled with water, and said uncertainly.
"It seems yes, I've been here before." Wang Xiaguang looked carefully for a while before saying.
Luo Yuan stood up and looked into the distance. Except for some high-rise buildings that were barely supported, there was a white scene where he looked, and there was flood everywhere. Is that military base still there? His face looked a little ugly.
Zhou Yicheng seemed to guess Luo Yuan’s thoughts and asked the soldiers next to him to help him up: “This place is close to the sea, the military base is not here, and in the Baoshan area with the highest altitude, it is not affected yet. But we don’t have much time left. With the current situation, I’m afraid they are ready to evacuate, and we must get there as soon as possible.”
Luo Yuan nodded solemnly in his heart.
He took Zhou Yicheng's map and looked carefully. It was still thirty or forty kilometers away from Baoshan District. Fortunately, this place is in the city. It is not like the expressway that it collapses or blocks the road, so it has to stop. And after arriving here, due to the flood, the beast tide has long disappeared. Although the road is difficult to walk, at least it should be able to reach its destination before dawn.
After getting off the highway, Luo Yuan found that the water level here had reached the thigh of the giant lizard, about three or four meters deep.
The vines on both sides of the street are growing lushly, which may have been their last carnival. As the sea level continues to rise, they will sink to the bottom of the sea with the largest city in the East.
Except for the small insects as small as rice grains floating on the water like smoke, there are few other land creatures here. Most of the land creatures have long migrated to higher altitude areas. With the huge splashes aroused by the giant lizards walking, they quickly dissipated like fright, and soon gathered from another place.
The giant lizard walked across the street corner, and Wang Shishi suddenly pulled La Luoyuan: "Look at it?"
Luo Yuan turned his head and saw that it was a big tree hundreds of meters high, with lush branches and leaves. Except for the roots exposed to the water, there was nothing strange. But after looking for a while, he was surprised to find that it was running for life.
This is a strange big tree, with its roots pulled up by it and staggering forward like feet.
Unfortunately, it moves too slowly. It takes almost a few minutes without taking a step, and it has no root fixation, which causes it to stagger and fall down at any time. I don’t know how long it has been, but at such a slow speed, it cannot escape at all.
Everyone stared quietly, and as the giant lizard gradually faded away, gradually disappeared from sight.
A thirty-story dilapidated building in the distance could not withstand the erosion of sea water. It fell down with a bang, and splashed dozens of meters high on the water surface, causing the impact of the water flow, which seemed to cause a chain reaction, and a series of collapses occurred nearby.
This made Luo Yuan feel a little alert, and asked the giant lizard to walk towards the area with few buildings as much as possible.
These buildings have long corroded from the bottom of the ground, and are only shaking for the last breath. At this time, even a strong wind, a slight vibration, or a small wave can easily destroy it.
A large amount of garbage floated on the water surface, an empty plastic mineral water bottle kept spinning under the whirlpool of the water, and was rushed into the distance by a wave. The salty and fishy sea breeze filled the breath of the sea, making people subconsciously feel that he was walking by the sea. Looking at everything in front of him, Luo Yuan felt a sense of civilization destruction and change of life.
In fact, this is indeed the case
