Epoch of Twilight

Early the next morning, Luo Yuan and the others walked out of the cave.

The monitor lizard had already risen from the burrow it had dug, and was dozing near the transport plane.

The thunderstorm above the head has disappeared, and even the aurora has disappeared. The sky is cloudless, like a piece of emerald green like a wash, everything looks calm, only the big trees that have been broken by lightning and the charred shallow pits on the ground can be seen everywhere. Only then did it show that the lightning storm last night was not an illusion.

Two days and two nights of sleeplessness coupled with high mental tension made everyone look haggard and bloodshot in their eyes, but everyone seemed a little excited and joyful, as if even their physical exhaustion had disappeared. In fact, the lightning began to thin out in the middle of the night, and it had completely dissipated at three o'clock in the morning, but no one really fell asleep. It was not until now that they saw this scene with their own eyes that the big stone in everyone's heart was finally let go.

In addition to the day and night, everyone hadn't eaten anything for a day and a night, didn't drink a drop of water, and of course didn't have any mood to eat. When they relaxed, everyone except Luo Yuan felt sleepy and hungry.

There has been no hunting in the past two days. Except for the viscera of giant snakes used as life-saving supplies, there is no food left. However, there are many corpses of mutant beasts nearby. The death conditions were miserable, but those who were struck by lightning and died were only a small number.

Luo Yuan just walked around casually, and brought back two low-level mutant beasts. A few women dragged their tired bodies, and hurriedly finished the meal. Clean, after dinner, Luo Yuan rushed them to go back to rest, while he stayed to pack up the sundries.

They are not as strong as Luo Yuan, and since the formation of an active energy-rich body in the heart, he is frighteningly energetic, even if he does not sleep for three or four days, he is still full of energy without any feeling of fatigue.

Luo Yuan took the pots and bowls made of stones to the creek, washed them, and then walked back slowly. A night of thunderstorms made the forest much quieter, and even the chirping of insects and birds that were common in the morning temporarily stopped the noise.

Luo Yuan sighed, jumped onto the top of the broken transport plane, inserted the knife straight into the metal, sat down, looked up at the sky for a long time, feeling a little heavy in his heart.

He didn't know whether today's calm was caused by the earth's rotation, or because the cosmic storm weakened and completely disappeared. The earth is too fragile in the universe, and the creatures that live on the earth are as small as ants.

He already felt that the thunderstorm last night made today's temperature a little abnormal. It was only early in the morning, and the temperature had already reached 30 degrees. This was almost the temperature at noon. At this time, the sun had not yet risen. By noon, today's temperature may not even exceed 50 degrees.

The blowing of the cosmic storm injected a large amount of energy into the earth, causing the global temperature to rise, and yesterday's thunderstorm was just a concentrated burst of energy in a short period of time, and the effect was extremely strong.

He couldn't imagine what kind of consequences such a temperature would cause.

glacial melting? Sea-level rise? Large-scale disappearance of land?

Of course, this temperature may not have any effect on mutated animals and plants, even relatively fragile humans. Although humans in the post-apocalyptic world cannot compare with mutated creatures, their physiques are already quite large. Increase, the temperature is still bearable.

But the most serious thing is that, according to the inference of the reconstruction area, the cosmic storm is also the culprit of biological mutation. This time, after receiving so much energy, the evolution rate of these animals and plants may be greatly accelerated, and the living environment of human beings will also be worse. deterioration.

Luo Yuan was depressed, and sat there for a long time in a daze, until after noon, when Huo Dong got out of the transport plane, he was awakened.

The temperature of the armor on the top of the transport plane was already astonishingly hot, and the nearby air was already transpiring and distorted under the high temperature. The temperature could almost fry an egg. Only then did he feel his butt was hot, and he stood up quickly.

It didn't seem to be very burnt after feeling it, and the pain disappeared quickly as I stood up.

"It's fucking hot?" Huo Dong came out sweating profusely, squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the sun above his head, and complained loudly, seeing Luo Yuan jumping off the top of the transport plane, he quickly smiled and said: "Boss Luo, what's wrong?" Are you not afraid of the heat up there?"

"Sleep a little longer?" Luo Yuan asked, ignoring Huo Dong's flattery.

"It's so hot that I can't sleep. The inside is like a steamer. If I sleep again, I will be familiar. I didn't expect it to be hotter outside. The weather is so weird." Huo Dong fanned it with his hands, but the wind didn't help at all. , Sweat dripped down uncontrollably, and hurried to the shadow of the transport plane.

The air inside the cave can't circulate, and the area is narrow. It was okay at first, and there was a thick layer of rocks to cover it. The temperature was not high, but as the heat penetrated the rocks, the temperature inside rose linearly. It didn't take long. , everyone came out one after another, all awakened by the heat.

"The temperature was fine yesterday, why is it so hot today? It makes people sleep badly." Wang Shishi also yawned and complained loudly, his eyes were bloodshot.

"The temperature inside the cave, I think it's more than sixty degrees." Lianchang Xia also said, looking at the abnormal sky, his eyes were a little worried.

The huge transport plane was almost as high as a three- or four-story building. Everyone was sitting in the shadow of the transport plane, avoiding the scorching sun. If anything goes wrong, there must be a demon. Many people have speculated that it should be related to the thunderstorm last night, but this This kind of heavy topic was deliberately avoided by everyone, and it was not mentioned again.

Luo Yuan didn't participate in the topic, and wiped the saber silently. As he wiped over and over again, his anxious heart gradually calmed down.

Deng Chao looked at Luo Yuan from time to time, his eyes exuded a hot light, powerful strength, unimaginable ability, and that superb sword technique, all seemed so dazzling. In their eyes, Luo Yuan's image was like a god.

I am used to seeing the darkness of human nature in the last days, seeing that the strong are respected, and seeing his mother being raped by several men in turn for a few pieces of moldy bread in order not to let him starve, day after day. day, and finally died of massive bleeding. Under the catalysis of all kinds of darkness, he matured very quickly.

Without the care of his mother, in order to continue to live, he deliberately pleases those disgusting adults every day. But the more this happened, the more he yearned for power, and his thirst for power almost reached a pathological level. Every day, even in dreams, I want to have great power, but I can only dream.

Looking at Luo Yuan who was slowly wiping the long knife, various thoughts flashed through Deng Chao's mind from time to time.

He had thought of this idea countless times, but every time he didn't take action because of timidity.

Struggling in his heart again and again, this time he finally stood up, gritted his teeth, and walked in front of Luo Yuan in fear, trying his best to show a flattering and flattering smile on his immature face, but his thin body was trembling like a sieve. Stopping, he plucked up his courage and said, "Boss Luo, I want to learn martial arts from you!"
