Epoch of Twilight

Luo Yuan looked a little uneasy!

The most special thing about social creatures is that they have group intelligence.

Such creatures are not uncommon in nature. For example, ants can organize marching routes, build complex ant nests, launch large-scale raids and other wonderful behaviors.

But in fact, ant is not smart, it is just a low-level creature, no different from ordinary insects, but when a large number of ants gather together, they can often do incredible things.

There is no commander to command the soldiers, no boss to order the workers. The queen is only responsible for laying eggs. Even a colony of 500,000 ants can function without management, relying on countless interactions between individuals, collectively following a set of simple rules of thumb to form a unique and terrifying crowd intelligence .

The tiny form of ants may not be considered dangerous to humans, but if it is replaced by parasites, each parasitic body is a mutant beast, and the connection with each other is more efficient and tight, once an attack is launched, the outbreak The power that comes out is enough to overwhelm mountains and seas.

…………

There was a constant sound of violent clashing of the shelves at the stairway, and many of the shelves had already started to twist and deform. One after another, mutant beasts jumped over the shelves and rushed towards this side.

Everyone's palms were sweating non-stop, and their bodies retreated slightly subconsciously.

Without obstacles, the mutated beast moved extremely fast. Even in human form, its movements were far lighter and more agile than ordinary people. The short passage of seven or eight meters was almost instantaneous.

No one thought that it was Wang Xiaguang who made the first move. With a coquettish shout, her body moved forward a few steps in an instant, holding a knife in both hands, and quickly slashed at a mutant beast that rushed over. She had practiced kendo before. Although I haven't practiced for a long time, the foundation is still there.

Seeing a flash of a knife, the whole mutant beast was split in half by her, and the blood splashed on her face little by little, adding a strange beauty to her.

The quality of the knives in everyone's hands is excellent. Although they are far inferior to Luo Yuan, they are all blue-level. For this kind of white-level and light-blue-level mutant beasts, they are basically like cutting butter, and they are effortless to cut. .

At this time, Wang Xiaguang, who was highly tense, did not feel any discomfort at the bloody scene in front of her. Instead, she felt a strange sense of excitement. She stepped back cautiously, and then rushed forward quickly towards the mutant beast that was following her. , split it in half again.

Wang Xiaguang's performance greatly encouraged everyone. No one expected that these terrifying-looking mutant beasts would be so useless. Even Wang Xiaguang, who had the weakest physique, could easily kill two of them.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, we're going too!" Huang Jiahui said loudly. As she spoke, she rushed over with a knife in hand.

Everyone rushed over immediately, even Cao Lin, who was timid by nature, held a knife and beat soy sauce behind her, trying hard to overcome the discomfort in her heart.

At this time, only Luo Yuan, Wang Shishi, Zhao Yali, and the seriously injured Chen Xianfeng were left standing in place.

Zhao Yali looked embarrassed, fidgeting, watching other people fighting with knives in front, while she hid behind, doing nothing, even if she didn't look at Wang Shishi, she could feel her contemptuous eyes.

"Hmph!" Wang Shishi stared at Zhao Yali and snorted disdainfully.

Zhao Yali's face flushed instantly, she felt ashamed, if there was a hole in the ground, she would definitely want to get in right away.

...

The beast crowd became more and more crowded. At first, only three or five came over, but in less than half a minute, the entire passage was tightly packed.

However, the narrow and long passage with a width of more than two meters is doomed to prevent the flood of beasts from flooding in. Some slightly larger mutated beasts can only pass through one by one. A group of people are blocking the passage. The obstruction caused by the accumulation of the beasts made it difficult for the beast tide to advance.

When everyone was fighting fiercely, Luo Yuan slightly closed his eyes.

The commotion outside was getting louder and louder. The angry roars of monitor lizards and Lao Huang could be heard from time to time. It was obvious that a fierce battle had already taken place. This time it was not an ordinary wave of beasts. They are low-level parasitic life forms, and they don't even fear. Under the endless attacks, the monitor lizard probably won't last long.

It was the deterrent of the monitor lizard along the way that allowed the team to avoid a large part of the danger, and the strength of the monitor lizard itself was a powerful boost. It would be a pity to give up like this. But there are too many mutant beasts outside, even for him, there is only a dead end to go out, unless he can enter the state of the earth frequency again.

However, since that coincidence coincided with the frequency of the earth, he has not appeared in that special state. The situation that time was very special, the internal organs were broken, the sternum was broken, the heart almost stopped, and the whole person was on the verge of death. Even if the battle was stopped at that time, all that awaited him was death.

It can be said that if he was not lucky enough to match the frequency of the earth, he would have died a long time ago. Afterwards, Luo Yuan guessed that this state may be related to the heartbeat. Only when the heartbeat slows down to a certain level, roughly five or six times a minute , in order to match the frequency of the earth.

The heartbeat frequency is not fixed. The main function of the heart is to supply blood and deliver nutrients to the body. The more the body consumes in a short time, the faster the heartbeat will be. Otherwise, the slower the heartbeat will be.

If you can restrain your breath and maintain a state of tranquility, your heartbeat will be even slower.

But it's not enough!

His mind turned, looking for a way to control his heartbeat.

If he is on the verge of death, he will rule it out first. He cannot take the initiative to seek death. The risk is too great.

He thought of will again. Will is undoubtedly a mysterious force. He has long felt that will is far more than just an external effect. His greatest role should be to control his body freely. Every time his will is improved, he can It felt that his control of strength had increased by another layer. Now he was able to control every muscle. While controlling a layer of strength, when he was injured, he actively closed the wound to prevent excessive blood flow.

These are just normal, natural behaviors.

So what happens when the will is condensed?

Thinking of this, Luo Yuan's heart moved. He had never tried it before!

He became quiet for a while, and his will was already condensed.

But this time, there was nothing abnormal, neither brilliance flashed, nor a faint film of light appeared on the body, as if nothing happened, but the eyes seemed to flash and filled with mist.

Just for an instant, his emotions fluctuated violently, and his condensed will suddenly collapsed.

There was a turmoil in his heart, this kind of unprecedented strange experience, he had never really felt the existence of the physical body as before, everything in the body seemed to be under his control.

He took deep breaths repeatedly, and it was not easy to calm down the excitement, and his will was condensed again.

Dense muscle fibers like a network, hard and dense bones, rushing blood like a river, and various internal organs that are constantly wriggling, and the most eye-catching thing is the heart that beats like a pump.

Although these cannot be seen, every inch of the body can be outlined in my mind.

He only "watched" for a while, and didn't dare to procrastinate any longer. The situation outside was already critical, and the roar of the monitor lizard became more and more furious and shrill! Apparently it was at the last minute.

He quickly turned his attention to his heart, for no reason, he had a feeling

You can control it yourself!

When the thought of slowing down moves a little, the heartbeat speed begins to drop slowly. This kind of change is very slow, just like an object with a large mass and high speed, but it wants to stop with a small force. There is a feeling of powerlessness.

But this result already made Luo Yuan feel ecstatic.

He tried his best to control his emotions, not to let his will collapse again, and the beating of his heart slowed down.

As the minutes and seconds passed, his body soon felt weak. After a while, his body swayed and his face turned pale.

The situation here has become more and more critical. During the period, there have been several dangerous situations. Wang Shishi has long been unable to relax and is paying attention to the situation ahead. Only Zhao Yali noticed Luo Yuan. Seeing that Luo Yuan was crumbling, she was so scared that she hurried over to him. Hold on.

"Xiaoyuan, what's wrong with you, don't scare me?" Zhao Yali's voice was crying, and her expression was disturbed.

Luo Yuan waved his hand, indicating that nothing happened. At this time, his heartbeat had dropped to more than a dozen times a minute. The blood flow was seriously insufficient, and his condition had declined in an all-round way. However, with his physical fitness, he could still last for a while.

The hordes of beasts came one after another, sealing the channel cards tightly, and the corpses on the ground were constantly pushing, making the attacking field of view shrinking continuously, and everyone had to retreat again and again.

The dust and debris on the ceiling fell, and some places have begun to collapse. The ceiling above the head and the walls on both sides, the cracks are spreading and expanding rapidly. The buildings here have been severely corroded, and it is a miracle that they can support it until now. The beast tide Stampede and push, hastened the process of its destruction.

It won't last long here.

At this time, many people had been injured, but most of them were just skin wounds, and the clothes with good defense were enough to block the attacks of these low-level mutant beasts.

However, the decline in physical strength is the most fatal.

As a fledgling on the battlefield, they don't pay attention to the distribution of physical strength at all. Every time they attack, they use all their strength to hit and rush, and the tension and fear brought about by the spirit accelerate the consumption of physical strength, so they don't last for a few minutes. Their lungs were already like bellows, their bodies were weak, and it was difficult to support them. If they hadn't supported with only one breath, and Wang Shishi's support from time to time to rescue them, they might have been submerged by the beast tide.

At this time, there was a loud bang, and the wall of the passage in front suddenly collapsed, losing the support of the wall, and the ceiling above the head also had a chain reaction, collapsing one piece after another.

A large number of mutated beasts suddenly jumped down like dumplings, and the situation became more and more critical.
