Epoch of Twilight

In the stagnant water below the expressway, a straight line of water suddenly crossed, shooting straight ahead at high speed like a sharp sword.

Immediately afterwards, the water splashed violently, and fresh blood gushed out, staining the turbid sewage with blood.

"Isn't this a fish?" A soldier asked in amazement.

"It shouldn't be wrong. We have encountered such a situation during the heavy rain before. Now the water in the river must have overflowed, and there are fish everywhere in the stagnant water." Huo Dong said numbly.

"It was the heavy rain half a month ago. Fortunately, we were hiding on the hills at that time, but unfortunately dozens of people died!" Zhou Yicheng said this with a complicated expression.

The eyes of several soldiers were a little red, and they wiped them indiscriminately, because it was raining, and they didn't know whether it was tears or rain.

Zhao Yali clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, her face turned pale when she heard it.

No one spoke for a moment.

Huang Jiahui saw Luo Yuan take out a piece of mutated beast's fur, and gently wiped the saber, over and over again. After getting along for so long, she naturally understood that this was a sign of his nervousness. She sighed, and gently pulled Live in Luoyuan.

Luo Yuan paused, looked back at her, saw the worry on her face, and said softly: "Everything will be fine!"

The monitor lizard continued to march for more than ten minutes, and gradually slowed down.

As expected, the bridge in front was still broken!

The entire bridge deck disappeared without a trace, leaving only a dozen thick steel cables beside the bridge, powerlessly protruding into the river.

It is not accurate to say that it is the river water. In fact, the boundary of the river here has disappeared, and the stagnant water and the river have been completely mixed together. Coupled with the turbid water quality, a boundless 'lake' is formed.

If it weren't for the remains of the broken bridge on the highway, it would be impossible to tell where the real river is.

The information provided by Huo Dong is not accurate, or it is the information in normal times. Now, due to the flood, the river has been greatly expanded, at least more than 20 meters wide.

Luo Yuan stood by the broken bridge for a long time, and suddenly said: "Bring that vine from before?"

The previously used vine was not discarded, but was collected by the soldiers.

Zhou Yicheng took the vines, walked over quickly, and said: "Generally, the deepest part of a river of this width is about three meters, but now that there is a flood, this river may be five or six meters deep!"

"I hope it won't exceed six meters, otherwise, the water will overflow the monitor lizard's back." Luo Yuan said solemnly.

As he spoke, he tied a stone to one end of the vine, threw it vigorously into the middle of the river, and then stretched it straight. After estimating the angle of inclination and the position of the water surface on the vine, he pulled the vine up.

Luo Yuan did a quick mental calculation, and his heart sank.

Next, he repeatedly selected multiple points and tested several times, but his face became more and more ugly.

This river looks small, but it is actually quite deep. The deepest part is 6.6 meters, and the shallowest is 4.8 meters. The highest point on the monitor lizard's back is only 6.3 meters, and the lowest point is only 5.9 meters, which means that they will be in the water for a part of the way.

Zhou Yicheng did not have Luo Yuan's strong mental arithmetic ability. Seeing Luo Yuan's face darkened, he quickly asked, "How is the situation?"

"It's not very good, the water is a bit deep! This distance is a bit dangerous." Luo Yuan explained the height of the monitor lizard's back and the height of the river he tested.

Zhou Yicheng was aware of the danger in the water, he hesitated in his heart, subconsciously walked round and round in place, and suddenly stopped: "I'm afraid it won't be much safer if you change the road, besides, it's only one step away from Shanghai city. , then take a risk!"

Luo Yuan and Zhou Yicheng explained the situation separately, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little depressed, but no one expressed any objection.

Seeing the low morale, Zhou Yicheng said, "Before we leave, let's sing a song!"

"Battalion Commander, forget it, we have sung these songs all the way here!" A soldier said sullenly.

"I don't want to sing those old songs anymore, let's sing something nice!" Another soldier licked his lips and said.

"What are you talking about? You don't look like a soldier. Sing, we must sing, we must sing our spirit, our military soul." Zhou Yicheng said loudly: "We sing "Soldiers Should Go to the Battlefield" ", let them listen!"

Then he began to sing:

"There is a reason, needless to say, soldiers should go to the battlefield!

If it is a tiger, it should walk in the mountains; if it is a dragon, it should make trouble in the ocean.

Who doesn't have a father, who doesn't have a mother..."

Zhou Yicheng's singing was not very pleasant, his voice was hoarse and rough, and he was a little incomplete and out of tune, but none of these could conceal his strong will. At first, he was the only one singing, but gradually soldiers began to join in, and more and more people sang, and finally even Huo Dong and Lin Xiaoji hummed a line from time to time.

Luo Yuan watched quietly, feeling a little moved in his heart.

These fighters are not evolutionaries, and they are only slightly stronger than ordinary people, but even if only a few people are left in the team, they have always maintained the style of soldiers. It is hard to believe that they are not There is a strong will in the weak body.

"I hope there will be fewer deaths by then!" Luo Yuan thought to himself.

…………

Luo Yuan let the monitor lizard and Lao Huang jump down first, causing a large splash of water, as if a heavy rain had fallen around, a large number of mutant creatures in the water were startled by the two giants, and quickly moved away from the place, and the entire water surface suddenly appeared Numerous water marks and swirls.

The stagnant water has just covered the monitor lizard's calf, and it is about one and a half meters deep. Even if the part that got stuck in the mud is removed, it is still one meter deep.

Luo Yuan observed for a while, and quickly jumped on the monitor lizard's back, and then caught the three children who were brought down with vines, untied one end of the vine and tied the monitor lizard's neck.

Then let everyone grab the vine and slide down slowly.

Ten minutes later, only Chen Xianfeng was left, but there was not much space on the monitor lizard's back. With his size, one person could hold up to three or four people. If he was allowed to come up, the back would be extremely crowded. Everyone will become very dangerous. At that time, if they move a little, someone will be squeezed out. Luo Yuan hesitated, and finally slowly untied the vine

Chen Xianfeng stood motionless on the expressway, staring at Luo Yuan closely. Anyone could see his nervousness. If he didn't take the giant lizard and let him cross the river alone, with his strength, it would be dangerous at all. More good luck less.

Maybe he can still jump over the highway, but with his strength, he can only jump a dozen meters before falling into the water for a river more than 20 meters wide.

Once a land creature enters the water, its tenth level of strength will go to seven levels, not to mention that he can't swim at all, and there is no other result except waiting to die.

"There is something I wanted to say a long time ago, but I don't know how to say it?" Luo Yuan said with a sigh.

Chen Xianfeng's expression changed, and after a while, he said in a muffled voice, "Speak!"

"I haven't told you the purpose of this time because we are going to a secret military base this time. You should be very clear that it is impossible to enter in your situation. The biggest possibility is to be killed directly, or locked in a laboratory.

Therefore, there is no permanent banquet in the world, and you will not have good results if you follow us.

Let's go, leave here, leave Jiangnan Province, I hope you can live forever! "

Chen Xianfeng froze on the spot. He looked at Luo Yuan in disbelief, and then he looked at everyone. Whether it was Huang Jiahui or Huo Dong and the others, they all averted their gazes and did not dare to look at him. He gradually understood that maybe he It should be understood, the next moment, its expression suddenly became ferocious, the tyranny in its heart could no longer be suppressed, and even the fear of Luo Yuan disappeared, and he roared hoarsely: "You... cheated... me! "

"You... all... lied to me!"

"You... all... lied to me!"

Afterwards, he turned around and started to run wildly. The huge roar echoed in the air for a long time.

...

Even after a long time, Chen Xianfeng's voice still seemed to be still echoing. While everyone had complicated expressions, they also breathed a sigh of relief. Recently, Chen Xianfeng's mood became more and more unstable, and the mutation gradually deepened. He spent most of the time alone. When staying outside, you can usually only see him at noon or at night. Most of them have bloody mouths, sharp teeth sometimes with bright red shreds of meat, and they seldom eat with everyone. All signs show that he I am used to eating raw food.

It is conceivable that his existence puts pressure on everyone!

Not everyone can ignore Chen Xianfeng like Luo Yuan, with his ferocious appearance, huge body, and tyrannical emotions that may erupt at any time, if not for Luo Yuan's suppression, the phenomenon of cannibalism may have already appeared.

Zhou Yicheng saw that these people were not in the right mood, and persuaded him: "I heard that mutants are related to the genetic level, and it is impossible to restore them with current medicine. It will only get worse and worse. In the end, only instinct remains. Let's go, it's good for everyone!"

"Let's not talk about that for now, let's get ready to go!" Luo Yuan shook his head, clearing the negative emotions from his mind. After all, this was a decision made long ago, but it was just a little earlier.

As soon as the words fell, everyone's heart trembled, and the slight discomfort when Chen Xianfeng left was instantly suppressed to the bottom of their hearts.

Huo Dong held the handle of the knife again and again, taking deep breaths repeatedly.

Zhao Yali and the three children were already pale.

"Don't be nervous, the 20-odd meter journey will pass soon." Luo Yuan saw that everyone was a little too nervous, so he comforted him, and turned to Wang Shishi: "You should also pay attention, don't be careless."

Master Wang nodded vigorously.

"Everyone sit still, let's go!" Seeing that everyone was ready, Luo Yuan said in a deep voice.

The giant lizard moved slowly, and the water surged violently, making loud noises.

Just as Huo Dong was about to speak, a drop of river water splashed into his mouth. His expression changed drastically, and he spat out a few times in a hurry. Seeing that nothing happened, he was relieved. Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of well ropes for three years. No one wants to be entangled by such horrible parasites in the sea water on the cross-sea bridge.

"Hey, why is the water salty!" He reacted and said quickly.

"It should be that the sea water is pouring back, there may be marine life here!" Cao Lin said with an ugly face.

"Don't be distracted, we'll be crossing the river soon. Everyone, grab the blanket on the monitor lizard's back so that you don't get thrown off." Luo Yuan looked at the position of the broken bridge and reminded.

The carpet was made of vines, so it was easy to hold hands and fix its body. Otherwise, no matter how slow the monitor lizard was, its back would not be easy to do, and it would have slipped off long ago.

Everyone was shocked, and no one said anything more, they grabbed the blankets on their bodies tightly.

Soon, the giant lizard swayed violently, and the women stepped into the river, and several women screamed in shock. Fortunately, they were prepared and were not thrown off.

At this time, Luo Yuan suddenly felt weak, and could no longer feel the power of the earth.

Having already experienced it once, he naturally understood that his evolutionary ability was isolated by the water surface, and the attribute of physical strength had returned to its original value. He took a deep breath and slowly got used to this "weak" state.

Luo Yuan pulled out his saber and paid close attention to the situation on the water surface.

The water on the river was turbulent, and the dark tide was surging. As the monitor lizard moved forward, one after another vortex appeared around it from time to time.

This river is too small to nourish large creatures, but it doesn't mean that those small creatures are not dangerous, on the contrary, they are more hidden and difficult to detect. Especially since this river is connected to the sea, there are probably a large number of marine life swimming upstream at this time, cruising on this river.

Perception is greatly weakened in this kind of turbid water. In the air, the perception within a radius of 50 meters can be sensed, but in this kind of turbid water, it can only reach five or six meters, and it is still very blurry. This distance It's not even as good as exploring the ground when standing on land. Of course, there is a reason for the ground trampling bonus.

At this time, the monitor lizard's footsteps began to be a little messy, its head stared at the water from time to time, and its mood became more and more irritable.

"Ow!" It roared suddenly, its body trembled violently, without any warning.

The strong sound waves caused ripples in the water patterns, and even made everyone's ears buzzing. For a while, even Luo Yuan lost all hearing.

"What's going on?" Lin Xiaoji said loudly, with unspeakable panic on his face.
