Epoch of Twilight

Mud mixed with gravel poured down, burying most of the nose.

The dark and heavy armor of the transport plane has been completely distorted and deformed at this time, and huge holes have been cracked in some places, and the fuselage is billowing with thick smoke, ready to explode at any moment.

About ten seconds after the collision.

With an ear-piercing metal moan, a silver-white knife tip suddenly protruded out of the fuselage, and immediately cut a big circle like cutting tofu. The next moment, there was a loud bang, and a round piece of metal was struck Juli bounced four or five meters away.

One after another, figures quickly jumped off the fuselage. These figures were in a mess, and almost everyone was injured.

Luo Yuan handed Zhao Yali to Wang Xiaguang, told them to leave the place quickly, and ran back quickly with a few soldiers, dragging out two unrecognizable corpses.

These two were the pilots. The cockpit of the transport plane had been completely deformed by the violent impact, and then it was crushed heavily by a large amount of gravel. The pilot inside had no chance to escape, and died directly. Luo Yuan and the soldiers desperately dug up the gravel with their hands, and they might not even find the corpse.

Originally, Luo Yuan wanted to rescue the monitor lizard, but with his strength, he couldn't push the container at all. Seeing that the smoke was getting bigger and bigger, he had no choice but to run out of the transport plane. But thinking about the power of the transport plane's explosion, it shouldn't be able to kill the monitor lizard, let alone it is still in the container.

It was still late at night, and the surroundings were pitch black, but for Luo Yuan, who had full night vision ability, there was no way to block his sight.

The mountains in the distance are rolling and undulating, and the endless forest sea spreads to the endless sky along with the steep hillside. This is a scene like a prehistoric world, without any trace of civilization.

In addition to the endless forest, it is still a forest.

The dense branches and leaves cover the sky like a net, like an overwhelming green carpet.

There are many big trees with thick and thick hugs here, some of which are directly exposed to the air, thick and twisted, extending hundreds of meters like a python, and vines as thick as thighs are intertwined with each other.

Compared with the large trees in the Jiangnan area that have been repeatedly exterminated by humans, most of which are only one year old, most of these trees are huge in size, with dark green and dull leaves, dry and rough bark, with a kind of accumulation of time.

Anyone can see that this is not a plain, but a primitive mountain forest. Even before the end of the world, this place is also a dangerous place. There are endless poisonous insects and beasts, making it hard to guard against, let alone the end of the world, which is full of dangers.

"Does anyone know where this is?" Luo Yuan checked Zhao Yali's situation, then turned around and asked. When the transport plane crashed into the hillside, Luo Yuan couldn't react in time, and was accidentally touched by the cabin, but the problem was not serious, it was just a bump into a bag and some skin trauma.

"This place probably belongs to the Kunlun Mountains. I don't know exactly where it is. Judging from the flight distance, it shouldn't be too far from the reconstruction area." Lianchang Xia shook his head and said, his voice was a little hoarse, and he didn't know where he was injured. , the blood kept dripping from the hair, hanging on the whole face.

Luo Yuan looked around, feeling a little irritable in his heart.

The terrain here is steep and the woods are dense, not to mention the road, even if you see the mountains and see the water, you may get lost in a short time. If you go out from here, you don't know when it will be.

"Boom!" At this moment, the transport plane exploded, and a dazzling flame erupted in the darkness, rushing straight for hundreds of meters, and then turned into a dark mushroom cloud.

"You wait here, master, please be careful, I'll go and have a look." Luo Yuan said, worried about the monitor lizard's situation.

"Then come back quickly!" Huang Jiahui said nervously. At night in the forest, the noise is like a tide, weird insects, dull beasts, and occasional human-like laughter and cries, coupled with the dark environment, it is like being in a ghost, which makes everyone's scalp numb .

Luo Yuan nodded, and quickly ran towards the transport plane.

The flames appeared quickly and disappeared quickly. After a few seconds, only green smoke remained on the transport plane.

Because of the lack of fuel, the power of the explosion was not great. The transport plane still had a complete iron frame, and there was basically no more deformation. Luo Yuan drilled into the transport cabin through the gap that was originally torn, and found that several containers had been destroyed. Blackened, two of them were affected by the front of the explosion, and the whole was sunken in, like a ball that was squashed by a foot.

However, the container where the giant lizard is located is fine, but it is slightly dented.

After all, the container itself has been thickened, and this explosion cannot completely deform it.

Luo Yuan stepped forward, pulled out the chopper and cut off the iron chains that fixed the container one by one, then inserted the tip of the knife into the gap of the container, and quickly cut along the welded part of the container, and soon he opened the container opening.

Luo Yuan found that the monitor lizard had woken up, its eyes were half-closed, and it looked very listless. Obviously, the strong explosion just now woke it up.

Seeing Luo Yuan, the monitor lizard seemed refreshed, and let out a weak whimper, as if expressing its pity.

It's a pity that Luo Yuan didn't understand at all. He patted the monitor lizard's huge head, calmed down for a while, and continued to work. Soon, the huge container was dismantled by him with a knife, and the monitor lizard's entire huge body was completely exposed.

It seemed to feel free, and it shook its head vigorously, struggling to stand up, but just as its limbs supported its body, it went limp and lay down on the ground again.

It lowered its head in frustration, looked at Luo Yuan with drooping eyelids, and whimpered weakly.

It seems that it will take a long time for it to fully recover. Luo Yuan looked at the time. It was twelve o'clock in the evening, and there were still five or six hours before dawn. In such a short amount of time, it is obviously not enough for the monitor lizard to fully recover and eliminate the aftereffects of the anesthetic.

After hesitating for a moment, he ran back to open the snakeskin package, picked out a few pieces of giant snake's internal organs, and strung them on a tough grass stalk, weighing about forty to fifty kilograms.

When they came back, smelling the fragrance, the monitor lizard tried to lift its head up, its drooping eyelids were also opened with all its strength, and its ferocious face was full of flattery.

Green-level mutated creatures, for monitor lizards, are like high gods, at the top of the food chain. Its flesh and blood naturally have unimaginable benefits to it, and can even stimulate its evolution, allowing it to advance to a higher level.

Luo Yuan threw this pile of viscera, which was supposed to be thrown to its mouth, but unexpectedly the giant lizard stretched its neck vigorously, and instantly bit the food viciously with its bloody mouth, and threw the pile of forty or fifty He swallowed the jin of meat in one gulp, and he couldn't see the sluggish and powerless look before.

But as soon as it finished eating, it returned to its old form, lazily lying on the ground, not bothering to move.

Luo Yuan looked at it for a while, then quickly went back.

This is not a safe place. Before the apocalypse, there were deep mountains and old forests. In terms of danger, places like Jiangnan can only be said to be mildly dangerous, but here it is moderate or even high.

Most of the creatures fled here because of the huge movement of the transport plane before, but as time goes by, more and more creatures will definitely return here.

………………

A bonfire was burning blazingly in the open space not far from the transport plane.

A peeled mutated creature was pierced by a wooden stick and placed on a simple wooden frame, allowing the flames to burn slowly, the golden oil dripped onto the fire, and bursts of flames sprang up. , making a sizzling sound, and a strong fragrance permeated the air.

This is a low-level mutant beast that threw itself into the trap, and was killed by Huo Dong with a single knife.

Of course, if it's a high-level mutant beast, it's impossible to eat it under such barbecue and muscle contraction. The meat is too old, except for Luo Yuan, other people can't bite it at all.

More than a dozen people gathered together, speaking one sentence at a time, looking at the dark forest nearby from time to time, surrounded by ghosts and shadows, and the branches seemed to be minions of ghosts, swaying slightly under the firelight, as if baring their teeth and claws.

This was the first time that everyone spent the night in the old forest, and they couldn't help but feel hairy.

"Let's take stock, how many supplies we have, we may have to stay in the forest for a while." Luo Yuan said lightly.

"Not much at all, because we are going to the reconstruction area soon, and we have discarded a lot of things." Huang Jiahui looked away, calmed down, and said with a downcast face: "For example, towels, tents, etc., anyway, they are all gone!"

"The salt is also discarded!" Cao Lin added carefully.

Luo Yuan's face darkened slightly. There are other things to talk about, but salt is very important. It is almost a matter of life. Moreover, this is the old forest, and there is no trace of human activities. It is hard to find salt.

"Salt can be solved by drinking the blood of mutated creatures in a short period of time, and there should be salt here, otherwise the creatures would not be able to survive. We can find rock salt through mutated creatures." Company Commander Xia poked the fire and turned a dead log , Put it into the fire, thought for a while and said.

"The salt is temporarily resolved, and there is also a water source. We must find the location of the water source as soon as possible!" Luo Yuan said: "I decided to stay here for a few days, and find out the location before looking for a departure!"

Of course, you don't need to stay for a few days to find out the direction, but no one objected. Even Company Commander Xia just moved his lips a few times, looked at the soldiers with numb eyes, and fell silent. The loss of the plane caused the hopeful people to fall into hell like heaven. The sharp contrast made everyone feel dead and lost the motivation to move forward.

At this time, Zhao Yali groaned, slowly opened her eyes, and sat up: "Have we reached the reconstruction area, where is this?"

Luo Yuan's expression froze for a moment, and he sighed: "When you evolved into a coma, we crashed, how are you doing now?"

Zhao Yali was stunned for a moment, and looked around in disbelief. The cruel reality quickly made her look sad, but she also came from the end of the world, and she has experienced all the worse things than this one by one, unlike ordinary women. Mentally fragile, she just shook her head with a downcast expression: "It's okay, it's just that my head hurts!"

"You just said that I have evolved?" She suddenly realized and asked in surprise. Agitated, her voice suddenly raised a few degrees.

At this moment, Luo Yuan felt that there was some fluctuation sweeping over his body. He hurriedly looked towards the dark forest and checked carefully, but found nothing. Seeing that Zhao Yali was still looking at him, he nodded.

Zhao Yali looked at the other people again, and seeing everyone nodded slightly with complex expressions, she finally became convinced. In an instant, a strong surprise flooded into her heart, and instantly washed away the gloom and despair in her heart before. scattered.

When the end of the world came, her fiancé died unexpectedly, then her parents also died, and finally her only reliance, Lao Huang, also died. The pain of losing a loved one has accumulated in her heart again and again, and she has not yet collapsed. She is already extremely tough, and no one else can do better than her. This also makes her extremely insecure, and her personality is becoming more and more taciturn. , but the more such a person, the heart is longing for powerful power!

With mixed feelings, she suddenly burst into tears.
