Epoch of Twilight

"There is an arsenal underground!" Luo Yuan looked at it for a while, and Huo Dong and the others ran over and said, "But most of the supplies have been emptied, and even the machine guns placed on the gun holes have been pried away seven times. !"

Luo Yuan followed into the basement, and the entire thousand-meter-long underground arsenal seemed empty, except for dozens of huge rockets neatly placed in the corner, there was not even a box of bullets left.

"Who do you think moved away?" Luo Yuan asked.

"It should not be the soldiers here. If they want to move away, the few armored vehicles outside will not be kept. They have already driven away together. The only survivors who live nearby." Huo Dong said excitedly.

There was joy on everyone's faces.

"So, there are still survivors here?" Luo Yuan asked in surprise.

Along the way, there are deserted people everywhere, except for green plants and mutant beasts, not even a single person is seen, loneliness and despair have always lingered in the hearts of everyone, making people feel that human beings have become extinct in this area Illusion, now hearing this judgment, everyone seems to be relieved.

"I guess it should be nearby!" Huo Dong said, "It's near the sea, the land is saline-alkali land, and there are much fewer plants than outside. We should be safer than other places."

"But they are too hateful, there is nothing left, even the bed quilt and towels have been emptied." Wang Shishi pouted, with a dissatisfied expression on his face.

Luo Yuan frowned slightly, they are almost destitute now, all the supplies are gone, and I wanted to add something here, but I didn't expect that there was nothing left here.

"Did you find any salt?" Luo Yuan asked.

Salt is not only a seasoning, but also a substance that the human body must ingest. If you do not consume salt for a long time, the sodium content in the human body will be too low, resulting in loss of appetite, weakness of limbs, decreased resistance, and even dizziness.

They haven't eaten salt for five days. Although they have to drink a few mouthfuls of mutant beast blood every day, the salt in the blood cannot replace table salt. Even Luo Yuan feels particularly tired recently. If he can't find it again, I'm afraid Even he couldn't stand it.

"No, I've searched all the places!" Huang Jiahui shook her head: "If I had known earlier, I should have looked for it at the outpost on the road before."

"Before I only knew that I was on my way, and no one paid attention. After all, it was just salt. I didn't expect it to be so difficult to find a bag of salt now. I'll go to the base opposite to see if there is any?" Luo Yuan sighed. , said.

Luo Yuan walked out of the gate as he said that, and he came back within a few minutes. It was the same there, everything was emptied.

Huang Jiahui sighed and said: "I have endured for so many days, and I don't care about enduring one more day. I guess the nearby outposts have also been searched. Let's look for it tomorrow!"

"That's the only way to go. Fortunately, there is seawater everywhere here. If it's really not good, let's just get some seawater and boil salt." Luo Yuan shook his head.

Before it was completely dark, everyone had already finished their dinner early, but because there was no salt, everyone had no appetite, so they just ate a few bites and it was over. After that, I chose a room that was closed on all sides, cleaned the dust on the floor, spread a few bed boards on the floor, and fell asleep with my clothes on.

Although the conditions here are still very simple, the bed is made of a few wooden boards, and there is no quilt at all, but compared with the damp, cold, and frightening tree holes in the forest, this boxy room is particularly precious. .

Nothing happened overnight.

Everyone had a rare good night's sleep that night.

The next day the weather was still gloomy. The eruption of the nearby volcano continued to affect the weather in this area. I am afraid that there will be no sunny days for a long time.

Early in the morning, Luo Yuan sat at the door, carefully looked at the saber, and from time to time gently wiped the non-existent dust with a cloth.

The long-term baptism of will has given this knife the imprint of his will, and it has already produced a faint connection with him, as if connected by blood, holding it in his hand, there is even an illusion that it is an extension of his arm.

It sounds a bit mysterious, but in fact this phenomenon is very common. Everything becomes easier to use. Many experienced technicians have a set of unique tools. They are not forced to use or cannot be used at all. They will not be replaced, because even if it is replaced with the exact same one, it will be very uncomfortable to use. Long-term use has left the tool with its own unique brand of will. Although the strength of this brand is far from comparable to that of the Zhanma Saber at this time, it cannot even be felt, but it really exists.

After ten minutes, Luo Yuan inserted the knife into the scabbard and stood up. Xin Dao said that after such a long time, everyone should have packed their luggage and set off.

Just as he was about to move forward, he suddenly heard a voice speaking in the distance. He froze for a moment and looked in the direction of the voice.

On the tidal flat under the cross-sea bridge, seven men were walking cautiously, whispering something from time to time, but because the distance was too far, he couldn't hear them clearly.

The weapons in their hands are various, including cold weapons and hot weapons. It seems that they are hunting. The five men in front kept poking the mud with spears, and the two men with rifles looked around frequently. Even at a distance of several kilometers, Luo Yuan could still feel the tense atmosphere.

Their luck was obviously good. A few minutes later, there was a violent stirring of the mud in front of it. A man who poked its body was thrown away by its tail, but soon stood up again, spitting blood in his mouth, and rolled Crawl back.

The gunshot rang out quickly, and the two men behind pulled the trigger, and the bullets hit the mud with a rattling sound. The mutated creature inside was obviously hit. It stirred violently, and the black mud was gradually stained with a hint of red. .

They obviously didn't have many bullets, or they were relatively economical, and the gunfire stopped after a few seconds.

Other men stepped up and poked vigorously at the lump of violently churned mud with their spears. From time to time, some people were blown away and rolled into a ball in the mud.

These people were extremely crazy, they went forward one after another, attacking with spears uninterruptedly, and soon the mutated beast hiding in the mud struggled weaker and weaker.

A few minutes later, there was no movement in the mud at all. A few people bravely dug open the mud with their hands, and a mutant creature more than four meters long that looked like a loach was revealed.

One of them inserted his spear into its body and pierced it. He didn't show any mercy here. They carried the corpse and staggered back, disappearing into the sparse woods very quickly.

Huang Jiahui came over, and seeing Luo Yuan looking down, she asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"I saw people below just now, and there seem to be quite a lot of people." Luo Yuan said.

Huang Jiahui was a little unbelievable, and said in surprise: "There are still people down here? After a while, the tide will rise here. Why do they live here?"

"This is a tidal flat, and the tide has just ebbed not long ago. Naturally, living here is much safer than living outside." Luo Yuan looked at the plants here, which were obviously much less than other places, and said lightly: "Wait a minute , I’m going to find out about the situation here, if we can walk here, we’ll go directly across the tidal flat, even if it doesn’t work, at least we can get some salt.”

"Should I call a few more people? If the weapons here are all taken by them, there should be a lot of weapons there. Although I don't believe that human nature is ugly in the last days, we must always be prepared." Huang Jiahui said worriedly. , has made her gradually understand this hellish world, and she is no longer as naive as before.

With the collapse of order, everyone began to become unscrupulous, and the cruel pressure of survival made many people lose their humanity.

"There are too many people, but it will be troublesome. Don't worry, I'll come as soon as I go." Luo Yuandao, with his current strength, as long as it wasn't for the dense bullets, he would not be able to hit him at all. With a slight injury, he could escape no matter what. There are too many people, but it is in the way, and it is easy to arouse the hostility of the other party.

Huang Jiahui knew Luo Yuan's character well, and knew that it was useless to talk too much, so she said: "Then be careful!"

Luo Yuan nodded, jumped onto the guardrail, and then just jumped off the bridge more than ten meters high. He was in the air, his body paused slightly, and under the influence of his will, he was like a banished fairy. Slowly falling from the bridge, the next moment, he was already stepping on the mud.

Huang Jiahui looked at it with relaxed eyes and bright eyes. It wasn't until Luo Yuan turned around and waved at her that she slowly recovered.

...

The road here is quite difficult, the ground is not only full of soft mud, but also potholes, every step is muddy, and there are puddles everywhere. After a while, Luo Yuan's shoes and trousers were covered with mud. Yuan shook the heavy soles to shake off the mud.

Luo Yuanshen kicked one foot shallowly, and after more than ten minutes, he finally walked to the previous hunting position of the crowd. A series of long footprints were left on the ground, extending into the depths of the woods, but it was not afraid that they would not find the ground.

The plants here are not only sparse but also very low, with an average height of no more than three meters. It is not so much a forest as a bush, of course, this is based on the current standard.

Luo Yuan walked along the footprints for nearly half an hour, and a small village appeared in front of his eyes.

The trees with a radius of hundreds of meters have been cut down, and they look bare. Dozens of tents of different sizes and colors are placed in the middle, and what surprised Luo Yuan is that there are people coming and going inside, which looks quite It was so lively, these people's clothes were ragged, but their faces were covered with colorful paints, and they couldn't even distinguish their faces.

These paints obviously have a unique effect, otherwise no one would paint these pungent smelling things on their bodies, even in the distance, Luo Yuan could still feel the pungent and unpleasant smell.

What moved Luo Yuan even more was that there was still a powerful aura here.

Luo Yuan continued to approach, and soon found a huge creature at the corner of the village: "Dark blue creature, I didn't expect there to be a dark blue creature here."

This is a fiery red creature like a lion, but it is far bigger and more powerful than a lion. Even if it is lying on its stomach, it is more than three meters high. The fiery red fluffy hair gently undulates in the breeze. Like a fire burning.

It has extremely keen senses, and before Luo Yuan took a few steps, its ears turned, and it suddenly opened its eyes, and slowly stood up, its blue eyes looked straight at Luo Yuan.

With a solemn expression on Luo Yuan's face, he slowly pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, and at the same time, his body slowly backed away.

He didn't want to start a fight. This creature was obviously tamed by the people here. Whether it was killed or injured, it would be a devastating disaster to this small village.

However, this mutated beast did not attack immediately, a trace of doubt seemed to flash in its eyes, and it stared at Luo Yuan for a long time without any movement.

Suddenly it wagged its tail cheerfully, and the hostility in its eyes disappeared.

Under Luo Yuan's vigilant eyes, it moved and walked towards a nearby tent. After a few steps, it stopped at the door of the tent. Its huge head slightly lowered, and it directly poked into the tent, while making a dull moan. Woohoo, it didn't take long for a woman with her face covered in paint to come out following the terrifying mutant beast.
