Epoch of Twilight

Two days later, they finally arrived at another city, which was also in ruins.

This time luck finally came to them. They found a dilapidated local city map in a suspected railway station ruins. Most of the map was damaged, but some key information was still there, such as the specific location, Information on city names and provincial roads.

This important information is undoubtedly a timely rain, and they finally don't have to run around like headless chickens.

However, the city has been turned into ruins and changed beyond recognition. The group of people almost circled the city before finding the location of the provincial road. It has almost completely merged with the surrounding greenery and is covered by a thick layer of vines. If there is no map, I am afraid that the group would have ignored it long ago.

This kind of vine is very strange, it has no leaves, only rough and flat branches intertwined with each other, forming a thick carpet. The vines on the ground stepped on by the heavy feet of the monitor lizard and King Kong broke one after another, making a rattling sound, and countless small mutant beasts fled in embarrassment.

As the team walked out of the city, cactus-like plants gradually appeared before everyone's eyes. However, compared with ordinary cacti, these plants were astonishingly huge. They were almost one or two hundred meters tall, taller than most trees. If you want to come high, you will stand out from the crowd, and from a distance, it will look like green skyscrapers.

"This is a super cactus, edible. It is one of the main vegetables in the reconstruction area. We are not far from the desert." Lianchang Xia said emotionally when he saw these plants.

…………

After traveling for less than two hours, after passing several intersections, the surrounding environment began to change significantly. The plants became sparse and low, and the soil was revealed for the first time. sand.

This is already a desert, or in other words, it was a desert before the end of the world, but now it is also covered by plants, but it is slightly sparse.

The windbreaks on both sides of the road seem to have been cut down several times, and the newly grown plants and plants in the distance are much shorter. As the road goes along, there are more and more abandoned vehicles on the road, and finally almost It blocked the entire road, like a long dragon, extending to an endless distance.

There are basically no cars here, most of them are modified buses and trucks, and there are also some armored vehicles and tanks.

There were bones everywhere on the ground, some from mutant beasts and some from humans, almost covering the entire road. If you distinguish carefully, the road surface is light brown, which is dried blood.

Some jewelry, gold bars, and fragments of antiques were scattered on the road without money, mixed with the bones. As for the banknotes, they had already rotted away.

It can be imagined that when they migrated here, human beings almost shed blood all the way, and the road was covered with corpses.

The scene in front of them made everyone's hearts heavy, and they couldn't help but think of the bad things in the past.

But the appearance of these shows that the reconstruction zone is not far away!

At this time, Luo Yuan seemed to be speaking someone's voice, he followed the voice and was slightly taken aback: "Hey, there is someone!"

"What, where?" Huang Jiahui asked in surprise.

This is a wilderness, along the way, except for themselves, there is no one in sight. If they didn't know that there was a reconstruction area, they would have thought that human beings had become extinct.

Luo Yuan pointed in the direction, and the group hurriedly looked. In the jungle in the distance, a group of people were squatting on the ground and looking there with vigilance.

There are six people in this group. They are unkempt and torn, but they don't look embarrassed. There is a rebellious look in their expressions, they don't look like ordinary refugees, but looking at Luo Yuan and his party, especially the two huge When it comes to mutant beasts, they are obviously a little wary.

"It's some homeless people!" Company Commander Xia suddenly said at this moment.

"Wanderer?" Luo Yuan asked suspiciously.

"This is a group of deserters, criminals and some unruly evolutionaries!" Xia Lian said with a hint of contempt and disdain: "Most of them are deserters. The pressure on the battlefield is too great. People die every day. Many people If they didn’t get used to it, they became deserters, and they could no longer go to the reconstruction area, so they had to wander around.”

"Let them be like this, won't the reconstruction area be encircled and suppressed?" As a former policeman, Huang Jiahui looked at them with some disgust and asked.

"There are too many wanderers, estimated to be at least hundreds of thousands, and they are very scattered. The irony is that the cowards who are afraid of death on the battlefield become vicious after becoming wanderers, especially when there are some powerful evolutionary creatures among them. The latter is very tricky. We have carried out large-scale encirclement and suppression several times, but the results were not great, and in the end it was nothing.

Moreover, their existence also relieved the pressure on the defense line to a certain extent, so as long as there were no dangerous groups or vicious incidents, they could only be allowed to exist. "

Luo Yuan nodded inwardly. The biggest enemy of human beings is still mutant beasts, and it is true that there is not much power to consume in internal fighting.

"You guys stay here, I'll go over and ask some questions." Luo Yuan thought for a while and said.

"Be careful, they may have guns." Huang Jiahui said.

Firearms are not a big threat to him now, unless he encounters dense bullets, with his agility, he would never hit him, but Luo Yuan still nodded, and then he jumped off the monitor lizard, covering a distance of seven or eight meters in one step. Although it came step by step, the speed was astonishing.

Seeing this scene, the faces of this group of people changed drastically, and they took a few steps back subconsciously. Two of them took out a rifle and seemed to be about to shoot, but was stopped by the leading middle-aged man in a hurry: "Don't act rashly, put the gun away , see what he is going to do?"

After a few breaths, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them. Everyone gasped for breath, and suddenly a depressive atmosphere filled the air, and even the air seemed to start to tremble.

Everyone's faces were a little pale, and they felt that it was difficult to breathe. The middle-aged leader forced himself to calm down and said: "My friend, what do you want to do with our brothers?"

Luo Yuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this group of people had good will. Even Huo Dong and the others would not be better than them in the face of their three-point aura. This is the reason why they are more familiar.

Seeing that he had already established his prestige, Luo Yuan didn't want to be domineering, so he restrained his breath and said, "There is nothing else. I want to know how far the reconstruction area is. It would be better if there is a map."

The middle-aged leader immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the strong man he met this time seems to be a talkative person, but when he realized it, he was a little surprised and said: "Are you going to the reconstruction area? Are you from outside?"

"Why, no survivors have come here recently?" Luo Yuan's mind was quick, and he quickly understood the message from his expression.

"I don't know about other places, but there have been no survivors in this area for three months, and maybe there are no other places." The leading middle-aged man said quickly.

"Is there no one else!" Luo Yuan sighed in his heart, and didn't speak for a long time.

The middle-aged leader observed his words and said carefully, "Are you planning to smuggle in, or go directly to the garrison?"

"Smuggling?" Luo Yuan reacted: "In addition to smuggling, can't you directly enter the reconstruction area?"

"No, there's a huge defense line built up there, and there are soldiers everywhere. If you want to enter the reconstruction area, you have to go through the defense line, unless you sneak in, and I just know the location of a cave!" The leading middle-aged man said: "Maybe you don't know , The rules in the reconstruction zone are harsh, including mandatory military service that almost sends people to death, and smuggling can perfectly avoid this because they are not part of the system."

Luo Yuan glanced at him, and he understood his plan in his heart. This is to use the strength of his group to try to sneak back to the reconstruction area, and this tunnel for sneaking may not be so easy to pass through, but it is destined to disappoint him .

"Go directly to the garrison, do you have a map?" Luo Yuan said.

The leading middle-aged man's face was stunned, and a hint of disappointment and admiration flashed in his heart, but he didn't dare to neglect, and said quickly: "There is no map now, follow this road, walk for two or three hours, and soon Can defend the line."

Luo Yuan left soon.

Seeing the group of people riding the huge monster away quickly, the leading middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he also felt a little bit of regret and envy.

Maybe it would have been better not to be the deserter at the beginning.

"Leader, let's go back!"
