Lu Yuan turned his head, looked at Long who was pretending to be energetic, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to bother you, why don't we move to another place?"

"Roar!" Old Long pursed his lips and looked at the pot of seafood soup again.

"You want to eat? No, no, no..."

The Dragon of Mirage cannot eat normally in this state. A lot of life energy has been transferred to it today. It needs to rest and recuperate so that it can live for a while longer.

So he pulled the conch and lit a fire again one kilometer away.

"Hoo!!" The old dragon was a little dissatisfied and wailed.

Maybe it was the constant loss of vitality that made it feel weak like never before.

No matter how arrogant a life is, they will all be treated equally by the God of Death. This dragon, maybe... also needs some company. It is even more unhappy when these two people are chatting far away!

"What are you doing? I'll send someone to take care of you tomorrow! It's already so late today, so that's about it."

Lu Yuan could only drag the girl back, scratched his scalp, took out a pomegranate fruit, and stuffed it into the old dragon's mouth.

The pomegranate fruit turned into vitality, making the old dragon's physical condition slightly better.

Lu Yuan sighed and took out an old salamander tent from the storage space.

Over the years, the color of the salamander leather has become darker and darker, but the quality of this thing is really good, and there are no loose spots.

Lu Yuan shook the tent, cleaned off the dust on it, and set it up.

Then the two of them cuddled together, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, and talked about trivial things that happened on the earth, such as how to beat the bully sister, what to do if my crotch was strained during the exam, playing games in the Internet bar, these long-lasting past events,

The girl was so amused that she was stunned for a moment.

Lu Yuan suddenly felt that maybe one day in the future, if human beings were really extinct and the two of them were still alive, they would hug each other for warmth like they do now.

"Then the two of us will really give birth to a civilization." Conch held her face with both hands, really starting to fantasize.

"Don't open the champagne. I'm not sure yet that I can survive the epochal disaster alone. I still have to get some information from this old dragon's mouth, and then I will become stronger."

"I also want to become stronger."

"How did you become stronger?" Lu Yuan asked in surprise.

"Study [Spiritual Language]... the more you use it, the smoother it will become."

The two of them kept looking at the stars until late into the night.

The girl unconsciously fell asleep on Lu Yuan's shoulder.

Lu Yuan carried her into the tent and covered her with a blanket.

He himself couldn't sleep at all, and he always had some troublesome thoughts. He walked over to visit the Mirage Dragon... Its condition was still not good, just like a patient in the ICU, it might die at any time.

The Mirage Dragon sensed Lu Yuan's approach and moved its body inexplicably out of some unknown intention.

It moved its tail to let out the door leading to the underground passage, then closed its eyes again and took a few deep breaths.

In life before death, one always has conflicting thoughts.

It wants to know the secret again and wants to know the result.

But there was nothing more to say now. Everything inside had been emptied. Lu Yuan pretended that he hadn't seen the door and walked back to the bonfire.

Long roared lowly: I finally mustered up the courage, damn ants!

However, Lu Yuan did not choose to reveal the secret, and it was actually able to accept it.

The waves were rising and the fire was crackling. I took a sip of wine and ate the remaining hot pot.

Look at the brilliant starry sky, and then think about the green city with thousands of lights hundreds of kilometers away.

Suddenly a feeling of loneliness arose in my heart.

Recalling the conch joke: "The two of us will really give birth to a civilization."

But if there is really only one person in the world and the rest of the city is completely destroyed, even if there is a green girl accompanying him, the feeling of guarding a tomb is too scary.

Even if a civilization is born, how will it survive the next era? It will still be extinct.

The only thing that can be done is that human beings... cannot become extinct.

"Live a little longer, old brother."

He waved goodbye to the old dragon, got into the tent, smelled the girl's unique fragrance, and heard the even breathing.

The feeling of loneliness gradually dissipated...

Lu Yuan also lay down and took a nap next to the girl for a while.

As soon as I closed my eyes, as soon as I opened them, it was already dawn.

"Report, we have arrived at our destination."

The scout team members were naturally very anxious and rode flying insects to land on the island again early in the morning.

When I saw that salamander tent, my heart was filled with gossip.

Big news, adoptive father and mother may sleep together!

You're not doing anything interesting!

For these children raised by Lu Yuan and Conch, this feeling is quite subtle, full of expectation, and a little want to laugh...

Lu Yuan naturally got up early. He already knew that these guys would want to gossip, so he appeared from behind the crowd and yelled: "What are you looking at? I'm fishing for seafood and making breakfast!"

People all burst into laughter.

Lao Lu said earnestly: "The first rule of survival in the wilderness is water, fire and shelter."

"At the same time, be sure to protect your partner to avoid quarrels after returning home!"

"A friend in need is a friend indeed, do you understand?"

People laughed again.

Conch was also awakened. She slept soundly and poked her head around the tent. Because she was sleeping in the wild, she didn't need to take off her coat. She just got up, washed up a little, and then ate a simple breakfast.

When scientists examined the body of the Mirage Dragon, their examination results were similar to those of a conch—it was really hopeless!

You can only forcefully extend your life by instilling life energy, but the price is... extraordinary items, that is, a large amount of aura.

"The current medical expenses consume about 1 aura in 10 days, which can keep you alive."

"If it can get better, maybe the expenses will be reduced in the future. If it can't heal, the expenses will continue to increase."

"It's like a funnel, getting bigger and bigger until the day it can no longer hold it," the expert sighed.

Lu Yuan nodded: "Let's find a way to extend its life. This expenditure does not need to be recorded in the national treasury...it can be paid by the Zerg Legion."

"Thank you, Commander Lu!" Everyone was a little surprised.

The titular ruler of the Zerg Legion is "Miss Conch".

Including the nominal ruler of the Green City, she is actually Miss Conch. This is like a constitutional monarchy. Although there is no actual power, the people assume that the "princesses of the former dynasty" have a lot of private wealth. It is normal for a powerful civilization to have some property left behind.

But that's it.

On the human side, private wealth is allowed. Just like the materials carried by the rat craftsmen themselves, it is completely normal for them not to be included in human assets.

Lu Yuan thought of something again: "Oh, by the way, it... likes to be lively. If safety permits, more children can come here to see it, play with it for a while, and listen to the story behind it.

.”

"Don't enter that underground shelter."

"Give it a last memory for the children."

"I understand..." Everyone's mood dimmed obviously, and some young boys and girls couldn't help but have wet eyes, feeling sad.

Even the rat craftsmen who were watching curiously saw this happening for the first time and couldn't help but sighed: "Commander Lu is really kind and righteous, and he is willing to treat it. It consumes 1 aura in 10 days, and the medical expenses are, tsk tsk...

"

"Well, it's worthwhile to teach the people a lesson. If you don't work hard now, the boss will be in vain."

"It's true that a civilized enterprising spirit cannot be bought by Lingyun." The rat-man craftsman quite agreed with Lu Yuan's point of view.

"Master Mouse...is there any way to cure it? Even if I spend a little more money, it doesn't matter." Lu Yuan asked again.

"There is really no way around this. We are old and frail, and we are also seriously injured, with organ failure and tendon rupture. There are so many negative factors that it is really hard for a god to save us." Shu Gongye said, "Unless it's... an immortal or even mythical level of treatment.

Item. What a pity, where can we get this thing?"

Lu Yuan was silent and let out a long sigh.

…

In the next few months, the number of human treasure hunting teams will no longer increase, because the volcanic eruption is close at hand, and it will become very dangerous to add more people.

Instead, there was the accompanying team of Mirage Dragon and the tour group of the ruins zone.

When we arrived, everyone was quite excited. How could we not be excited to see the most popular keyword "dragon" on the Internet and experience the culture of a different civilization?

Those faces are like free oriole birds!

But as our understanding deepens, we will always think of the source fire civilization and human beings themselves, the stars and the sea, the plains and the mountains. What can resist the erosion of time? Where will our civilization be after ten thousand years? Who will it be?
