Epoch of Twilight

It is daytime now, not a good time to kill. Not only may some hunting giants have not returned, but if the other party cannot bear the huge casualties and fear, they will flee in all directions. At that time, whether it is hunting or ambush, it will be an extremely troublesome thing.

What's more, intelligent creatures are already fundamentally different from wild beasts. They possess wisdom, can use tools, and have a certain degree of organization and discipline, which makes them possible to defeat the strong with the weak. It is definitely not wise to rush forward like this things.

Luo Yuan carefully observed the surrounding terrain, then retreated cautiously.

Half an hour later, Luo Yuan returned to the camp, and the people who had been waiting for the news came forward to inquire one after another. When they heard that there were really intelligent creatures, and even a tribe with thousands of people, their faces changed slightly, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Human beings are the spirits of all things and the well-deserved overlords of the earth. Even though mutant beasts are rampant and humans are retreating steadily, they are still proud in their hearts, because human beings are the only intelligent creatures on the earth. No matter how powerful the mutant creatures are, they are just beasts without wisdom. Human beings have a firm foothold, and one day victory will come, but the sudden news shattered the pride in everyone's hearts.

It turns out that humans are no longer the only intelligent creatures!

When a species that is physically stronger and more intelligent than humans appears, can humans maintain their pride? Perhaps the day to replace human beings is no longer far away!

There was a chill in everyone's heart.

"I didn't expect that the world would change like this?" Huang Jiahui said in a daze after a while.

The news brought by Luo Yuan was really shocking. Although there were various clues along the way, everyone was more or less prepared, but when it was confirmed, everyone felt a sense of panic in their hearts.

"We have to kill them before they develop!" At this moment, Company Commander Xia said suddenly, with a serious expression on his face.

"Yes, they are too close to us, and conflicts may occur at any time." Huo Dong also said while suppressing his fear.

Luo Yuan nodded slightly, and said: "It seems that everyone has the same idea, then act at night, kill all these creatures, and then everyone will go over."

After pondering all the way back, he had already changed his original thinking, relying on himself alone, no matter what, there would be omissions, and when the time came, once the giant fled in all directions, no matter how fast he was, he would not be able to cover everything, and there would always be someone who slipped through the net. fish.

These people are not bad now, and they may not be able to deal with them one-on-one, but three or two can always kill a few, especially Wang Shishi, who is not good against the green level, but he has to deal with those blue-level mutations Creatures are simply killing machines, and their efficiency is higher than his. As long as she is there, this mission will be sure.

"How many children?" Huang Jiahui asked.

"Take them away too, it's more dangerous to stay in the cave alone." Luo Yuan knew Huang Jiahui's doubts: "But don't worry, you just need to deal with the fish that escaped the net, it's safe!"

The matter was settled so simply, no one raised any doubts, and no one blatantly objected, no matter how frightened and reluctant he was, he could only stay in his mind, and even dared not show the slightest expression on his face. His authority has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even the few soldiers who joined the team just now are still as cold as a cicada under his eyes, only feeling more majestic than the chief.

The atmosphere of war makes people feel heavy in their hearts, and everyone is doing what they can to prepare.

The apocalypse is the most tempering time, even an otaku man and woman who doesn't touch the sun will transform into a master of survival after struggling for half a year.

…………

Time passed quickly, and it was getting dark soon.

In the open space in front of the cave, a skinned mutant beast exudes a tempting aroma under the fire of the flames. The oil falls on the bonfire and sparks pop up from time to time, making crackling noises, changing light and dark The light of the fire cast shadows on everyone's faces.

"It's burnt!" Luo Yuan reminded.

"ah!"

A few people came back to their senses in a daze, and hurriedly lifted the barbecue off the grill. Obviously, the huge mental shock before made them still a little uneasy.

Luo Yuan frowned, but soon stretched his brows. In fact, even he, when he saw those creatures, his heart was shocked, and he couldn't restrain his killing intent. Even if he didn't have this task, he would definitely kill them. Then fast. This kind of killing intent has no reason, it seems to come from deep in the bone marrow, from the depths of genes, maybe this is the instinct of intelligent creatures encountering another intelligent creature.

Dinner was finished soon, Luo Yuan looked at the time, it was already seven o'clock, and the sky was completely dark at this time, he continued to wait for another three hours, until ten o'clock exactly, he stood up, He reached out and took the saber that was inserted beside him.

"Turn off the fire, let's go!"

Everyone quickly extinguished the fire, silently picked up their weapons, and got ready to go.

Huang Jiahui took a long knife, looked down at her watch, walked up to Luo Yuan, and whispered, "It's only ten o'clock, isn't it too early?"

Ten o'clock is indeed too early. Perhaps for humans before the end of the world, nightlife has just begun.

Luo Yuan shook his head: "It's still a long way from here, and walking at night will be even slower. If there is an emergency, it will be delayed. You must allow sufficient time to deal with it. Those giants are not humans either. , now should be time for deep sleep."

Luo Yuan looked at her, and said softly, "Be careful, you'd better stay by Wang Shishi's side."

Huang Jiahui nodded, and said solemnly: "You don't have to worry about me, I will pay attention."

………………

The team climbed onto the monitor lizard and soon set off.

The roars of the mutant beasts in the distance came one after another, mixed with screams and roars from time to time, which made people tremble with fear.

Under the cover of dense foliage, the whole jungle looked dark and full of ghosts and monsters. Only pairs of faint light spots in the bushes in the distance exude dots of light, like faint will-o'-the-wisps. They are mutant beasts just waiting for opportunities to prey, but under the threat of the huge monitor lizard , They hesitated not to approach, and kept wandering nearby.

The dark jungle is a more lively and dangerous world than the daytime. Most carnivorous creatures choose to come out at this time, especially now that the temperature is getting higher and higher during the daytime. Even some herbivores have begun to come out at night and gradually adapt to it. Such a harsh environment.

The speed of the monitor lizard was not fast, and it seemed a little irritable along the way. It couldn't help roaring several times. Although the roar was deafening from time to time, it was the roar and deterrence of the monitor lizard from time to time that made people panic along the way. No risk!

Half an hour later, the group arrived at the valley.

This place is not far from the tribe of giants. Luo Yuan asked everyone to come down, because the monitor lizard was making too much noise, so it had to be left in place in order not to startle the snake, and everyone started walking.

It was quiet all the way, and the atmosphere was suddenly different from that in the jungle.

Perhaps it was the reason why giants often appeared. There were almost no mutant beasts in the vicinity, and there was no danger along the way.

Not long after walking, the flames were already faintly visible, and the heat wave ahead was rolling, and the temperature rose suddenly.

Lin Xiaoji wiped off his sweat, his whole body was tightly wrapped, and when he was forced by the heat wave, he sweated profusely all over his body, and complained softly: "Aren't these mutant beasts afraid of the heat?"

"This is a defensive method. Once the fire is on, there are almost no mutant beasts around. Some outposts far away from the base sometimes use this method at night. A big fire is more effective than any machine gun or cannon. See This mutant beast is smarter than we imagined." Lianchang Xia said with a serious face.

Luo Yuan ignored it. He listened carefully for a while, then turned around and said, "There seems to be a giant guarding ahead. I'll go there first, and you can come over after I give a signal."

Although everyone didn't hear any movement, they didn't have the slightest doubt. Everyone's heart was terrified, and their faces were solemn.

"Brother Luo, let me help you!" Wang Shishi said suddenly.

Luo Yuan was a little hesitant. It should be safer here. It doesn't matter if there is no Wang Shishi. Moreover, it is really difficult to solve the giants alone without disturbing the other sleeping giants. Thinking of this , Luo Yuan nodded: "Alright, you come with me, and you will cooperate with me when the time comes."

Wang Shishi immediately nodded excitedly.

The two of them kept their bodies low and sneaked slowly. It was getting hotter and hotter in front of them. It seemed that even their hair was going to be scorched. The grass, the grass made a slight rustling sound, which did not attract the slightest attention.

"Have you seen it? Let me have a look." Curious about the appearance of the mutated creature, Wang Shishi approached Luo Yuan and whispered.

"Hush!" Luo Yuan observed carefully. After a long time, he turned his head and said with a serious face: "A total of thirteen giants are on guard. I didn't expect so many. The situation is a bit troublesome."

………………

A group of giants sat at the foot of the rock in twos and threes, looking around from time to time.

These giants are taller and stronger than other giants, each of them is six or seven meters high, and the muscles all over their bodies are like the roots of old trees, and their skin is about to crack. With a fierce breath, these are obviously not ordinary giants, but warriors among giants.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of rustling not far away. A giant stood up vigilantly, glanced left and right, and uttered strange syllables, as if communicating with other giants. Soon, it carried a With a spear as thick as a bowl, he walked forward cautiously, while other giants guarded their surroundings.

This group of giants seemed extremely cautious and highly vigilant. Thinking about it, anyone who lived in the depths of this dangerous jungle would be the same, otherwise this kind of creature would not have survived at all.

The giant walked cautiously to the place where the movement came from, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a dying mutant beast. Its stomach was torn apart, and its internal organs flowed all over the floor, dragging out a long bloody trail. It seemed to be in a panic. , fled here.

This is a big surprise!

It licked its lips, revealing two sharp fangs.

Even for a fighter like it, meat is precious and scarce, and it is impossible to get it every day, after all, it needs to be exchanged with life. However, its vigilance didn't decrease. It carefully observed the surrounding situation, and saw that there was no other movement around it. This time, it calmed down, and excitedly grabbed the mutant beast's neck and walked towards the giants.

Seeing the mutant beast, the giants were in a commotion. Everyone's face seemed to be full of joy and excitement. One of the giants reached in from the torn abdomen, grabbed a heart with all his strength, and respectfully gave it to the strongest one. giant.

The giant looked very satisfied. It showed a ferocious smile. After taking it, it stuffed it into a mouth full of sharp teeth, chewing heavily, and blood slid down the corner of its mouth, looking extraordinarily ferocious.

This seems to be a unique etiquette, and it is also a signal. When the giant swallows the heart, the eating carnival begins.

The giant that was eating seemed extraordinarily crazy and fierce. The whole mutant beast was torn apart several times, and it was put in its mouth to bite desperately. A giant that couldn't wait even lay down on the ground like a wild beast. Obviously these Although giants are already intelligent creatures, they still have animal nature.
