Epoch of Twilight

The reason why people can see is because the reflected light of objects enters the retina and transmits signals to the brain through the dense nerves on the retina. Therefore, pure gaze has no power to transmit, but if emotions are added, it will be different. The aspect of the will has been involved.

He clearly felt the hostility just now, so he turned his head subconsciously.

"I didn't expect there are homeless people here!" Luo Yuan looked at a few small dots in the distance, thought to himself, and then looked away.

In the wild, such hostility has long been commonplace for him, and he doesn't take it seriously. Those wanderers are extremely cautious and defensive against any strangers breaking in, this is already their instinct.

He walked forward quickly, with a faint sense of urgency in his heart, and he could already vaguely feel the breath of the monitor lizard and King Kong.

However, the breath seemed to have changed, it seemed to be more depressing and obscure, which made him a little surprised and uncertain.

After walking for a few kilometers, after twists and turns, a valley appeared in front of my eyes. Compared with the sunny Gobi outside and sparse vegetation, this place seemed like another world. The plants in the valley are flourishing and the light is dim. At the bottom of the valley, there is a small stream with a width of two meters, gurgling and flowing, making the air moist.

All kinds of exotic flowers and plants, strange trees and old vines are full of vitality here. It is hard to imagine that this place is close to the reconstruction area of ​​the plant desert.

When they arrived here, the traces of the monitor lizard and King Kong were already very obvious, and various giant footprints could be seen on the ground from time to time, but the monitor lizard's footprint seemed to be a circle bigger.

Luo Yuan stopped and looked at the huge footprint with a diameter of nearly one meter carefully, looking a little surprised.

Although the footprints of monitor lizards were big in the past, they were not so big. They were only half a meter at most. I am afraid that even in the Cretaceous period, there are not many dinosaurs that can compare.

His expression changed, and now the only explanation is that the monitor lizard has evolved.

He suddenly patted his head, wanting to check the situation of the monitor lizard, it was not easy, he had a thought, opened the property panel, during this period of time, he lived a peaceful life, far away from the war, never paid much attention to the situation of the monitor lizard, until It was only when I needed to use it at this time that I remembered it.

Unexpectedly, after not seeing it for a while, the monitor lizard quietly advanced to the light green level, and even its name changed.

Luo Yuan frowned, not knowing whether to be surprised or happy, the monitor lizard's strength, physique and perception each increased a bit, and what was even more astonishing was its wisdom, which jumped to seven points, a full increase of three points as much.

Is this the evolution trend of mutant beasts, getting stronger and smarter, Luo Yuan suddenly discovered that those advanced mutant beasts could no longer be described as wild beasts.

Judging from the shape of monitor lizard, the prototype of monitor lizard is just a lizard. According to the theory of evolution, it is just a low-level reptile. Not to mention the level of intelligence of primates including humans, those mammals alone have been completely destroyed. crushed.

But it is such a low-level creature, once it reaches the light green level, its intelligence level has reached seven points, comparable to a three or four-year-old child, and the changes in higher-level mammals may be even more astonishing.

At this time, the ground suddenly vibrated slightly, and a huge roar like a siren came from afar, causing the air to resonate.

"coming!"

A breath familiar to Luo Yuan quickly approached Luo Yuan.

The valley suddenly flew up and down, the bushes and bushes were violently commotioned, and countless mutant beasts rushed to the ground, as if a catastrophe was imminent, they fled desperately.

Accompanied by the sound of a series of trees collapsing, the dense forest was abruptly smashed into a huge passage three to four meters wide, and then a huge ferocious beast suddenly appeared.

This is an astonishingly large lizard, its green scales exude a shiny and lustrous luster, as if covered with a layer of emerald green gemstones, and there is almost no trace of flesh and blood on its huge head, except for a layer of dark gray skin , It is completely composed of exoskeleton, which looks hideous and terrifying.

This is a monitor lizard about ten meters high and nearly fifteen meters long. Even if humans raise their hands in front of it, they cannot reach its knees.

But that hill-like body doesn't feel bloated or cumbersome at all, like a finely crafted work of art, even the ferocious head has a unique sense of beauty, making it unforgettable.

When the giant lizard saw Luo Yuan, its expression changed, and it suddenly increased its speed. A strong gust of wind and oppressive aura rushed towards its face. It weighed tens of tons, and every step it stepped heavily on the ground caused a strong vibration on the ground. The streams are throbbing violently.

Ordinary people would have been so frightened that their minds collapsed when they encountered such a thing, they could not move, and they were already strong-willed if they could turn around and run away. However, Luo Yuan has experienced many such scenes and has become somewhat immune.

However, this time it was different. He felt a huge pressure, which the monitor lizards had never experienced before. He subconsciously grasped the handle of the knife, exerting force all over his body, preparing for the worst, and then his heart quickly He glanced at Loyalty.

He felt relieved.

"Loyalty: 72."

"Fortunately, it's still on the safety line!"

As soon as his thoughts changed, the giant lizard stopped four or five meters away from him, without causing any unnecessary movement, and showed a lightness that was completely out of proportion to its size. Luo Yuan looked surprised. beyond his imagination,

I was secretly on guard in my heart, and then I saw a head almost the size of a small round table lowered, rubbing against his chest intimately, and whispering joyfully.

Luo Yuan finally relaxed completely, feeling a chill on his back, and unknowingly broke out in a cold sweat. It has to be said that the evolved giant lizard has put him under tremendous pressure, and to some extent is no longer below the green level.

Because the monitor lizard's attributes completely restrained Luo Yuan.

Why Luo Yuan is so strong, terrifying sword skills, amazing will, and strong body are just one of them. In his heart, the biggest reason is agility.

This is an extremely peculiar attribute, and every upgrade is impressive. It can be said that almost all attribute upgrades in Luo Yuan's mind are for better use of the agility attribute******* because it seems Allows one to enter the dimension of time.

One second of others is almost equivalent to 7.5 seconds in his eyes today. The world has slowed down in his eyes. Of course, it is not that the world has slowed down, but that he has entered a different time dimension.

In the meaningless second of human beings, human beings may have just turned an idea, which has not yet formed. However, for some bacteria, it is a lifetime, from division, predation, growth, maturity, and reproduction.

If a bacterium has a mind, that second is a colorful life for it.

This is a true portrayal of different time dimensions.

However, the monitor lizard's agility is stronger than Luo Yuan's, reaching an astonishing 16 points. If it was before, Luo Yuan could still suppress it. After all, the monitor lizard's agility is stronger than Luo Yuan's, but because of its intelligence, there is no way play.

With 16 points of agility, it can only use 13 points at most. If it is a straight-line distance, it can still run rampant, but if it is replaced by a small range of movement, it will not work. Can't react.

Because of intelligence, it doesn't look particularly powerful. It seems that it is not much different from ordinary mutant beasts. It is far from Luo Yuanguang's amazing performance of killing green-level monsters with 15 points of agility. .

But now, with the jump-like improvement of intelligence, it seems to have replaced a new processor, its weakest shortcoming has been made up, and its strength has skyrocketed. At this time, even Luo Yuan can't imagine what it has done To a certain extent, but at least, it is already invincible to mutant beasts of the light green level.

…………

King Kong also followed closely, and the two giant beasts seemed to be inhabiting together, but now King Kong seemed to have been completely overwhelmed by the monitor lizard, hiding in a corner timidly, not daring to approach the monitor lizard at all, just looking at Luo Luo with eager eyes. Far, with a pitiful look on his face.

Luo Yuan couldn't help but laugh. After not seeing him for more than 20 days, King Kong's loyalty has skyrocketed, surpassing the giant lizard in one leap, reaching 82 points.

Sure enough, happiness is also compared. It seems that during this period of time, King Kong has been abused by monitor lizards a lot.

Luo Yuan exchanged "feelings" with the monitor lizard for a while, to eliminate the sense of alienation that he hadn't seen for a while. He is a pragmatist. Since the value of the monitor lizard has greatly increased, naturally he can't treat it with the indifferent attitude before, Huairou is a necessary means.

He spent several hours in the valley and "inspected" the monitor lizard's territory. He could feel that the monitor lizard seemed very excited during this period, and had a sense of pride that a child could not wait to show off to his parents when he achieved results.

His heart moved, and he praised a few words along the way. Sure enough, the monitor lizard's loyalty immediately increased by two points.

The monitor lizard does not understand human language, but after a long time of blood and tears, in addition to some specific commands, it also has its own understanding of the owner's mood changes, and has learned to become a talent under pressure, gaining the ability to observe words and emotions . In its eyes, if the corners of the owner's mouth are twitching and wrinkles appear on the face, it means that it is doing the right thing. If there is no expression, and even the shape of the face becomes elongated and black, it means that it is doing something wrong. At this time, the best performance is to lie on the ground honestly and make a whimpering sound.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that Luo Yuan turned and left in the "reluctant" eyes of the giant lizard and the "pitiful" eyes of King Kong.

…………

Luo Yuan hurried all the way, and when he reached Motu City, it was already past eleven o'clock.

Although the city gate had already been closed, the guards of Motu City had already known Luo Yuan, and after he went out, he made a special record, and after seeing Luo Yuan coming and reporting the situation to his superiors through the intercom, he opened the city gate.

Most of the time, Motu City is empty and not very popular. It almost feels like an empty city. Only two moments can you feel the noise of a city.

One is before eight o'clock in the morning, and the other time period is now.

It was rush hour at this time, and the streets were crowded with workers in overalls.

Some small stall vendors also took advantage of this rare time to set up various stalls on both sides to do some small businesses to improve their lives. Most of them were wearing work clothes, and they were obviously workers who had just come off work. There are very few things on the stalls, except for all kinds of meat, vegetables, snacks and other food, there are also some homemade daily necessities.

The materials are all local materials, most of which are wood, and some are bones and fur.

For example, small bags made of leather, daggers ground from the claws of exotic animals, and daily necessities such as homemade benches, barrels, bowls and chopsticks, all kinds of daily necessities are dazzling.

The sound of hawking, bargaining, and disputes can be heard endlessly, making the whole street noisy.

It makes people suddenly feel that they are not in the last days, but in the noisy farmers market.

"Thirty yuan food stamps, this is too expensive, it's a money grab, this feather, if I don't think it's beautiful, I don't want a dollar." Luo Yuan heard the words.

"Buy it or not, it's worth the price. It's my spoils on the battlefield. Half the battalion died, and only a few feathers fell. I won't sell any less." A dull voice said.

"It turns out that you are a retired soldier due to injury. I was rude just now, but it is not worth the price. This feather can only be used as an ornament. If you sell it to a fur recycling station, I will give you a dime at most. Five yuan, I It is already the most sincere, and I believe no one is higher than me." Hearing that the other party was a disabled soldier, the speaker's tone suddenly became more polite.

"30 yuan, this is what I bought with my life, and I won't sell it if I lose one piece." The seller said, his voice did not contain the slightest emotion.

Luo Yuan couldn't help but feel a little curious, so he strolled over.

The stall owner was a burly middle-aged man. His left foot was gone and replaced by a prosthetic leg. His face was expressionless and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed. He was obviously a stubborn and self-conscious person.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the feather on the booth.

Just looking at it, he was slightly surprised. This feather is about two meters long, which is close to an astonishing three meters. He has seen feathers longer than it, but it was tail feathers, or blade feathers (wing feathers), and this one is just an ordinary feather in terms of its shape, it may be the abdomen, or it may be the On the back, this kind of feathers are mostly relatively short, and there is a gap of three to four times compared with the sword feathers.

He could imagine that the owner of this feather was more than a giant.

Except for the black hard tube support in the middle, the feathers as a whole are light cyan, very pure. Under the dim street lights, they exude a glittering brilliance. If you have sharp eyes, you can even see the faint brilliance stimulate and circulate. extraordinary. If it was before the end of the world, the price of this feather would be sky-high if the ornamental value was nothing but, but now although there are many people around, there are very few people who are interested.

Unwilling to reconcile, the buyer bargained several times, and his mouth was worn out, but the other party insisted on the price, and finally had no choice but to give up.

He likes this feather so much, he is obsessed with it. This kind of feather with vision must be the feather left by a high-level mutant beast. It is really rare, but the price asked by the other party is too high, it is not worth it at all. this price. A food stamp of 30 yuan can feed an adult for a month. Even for a senior technician like him, it is a huge sum of money that needs careful consideration.

"Can I see it?" Just as he turned to leave, intending to keep out of sight, a voice suddenly came from his ear, and his footsteps stopped immediately.

"Just look!" said the veteran.

Luo Yuan stretched out his hand to pick up the feather, and silently used an identification technique, his eyes couldn't help but brighten up.

The previous buyer saw that Luo Yuan lifted the feather easily and padded it casually, as if it was nothing, his face changed slightly, maybe others didn't know it, but he mentioned it just now, although he lifted it, he already used his strength With all his strength, this feather weighs at least a hundred catties.

"How much!" Luo Yuan put it down lightly, without blushing or panting.

"30 yuan!"

"I want it, but I don't have any money with me now, you need to go to my house to get it." Luo Yuan said, there are few places to spend here, so he basically doesn't bring much money.

The veteran glanced at Luo Yuan, a little hesitant. If he was an ordinary person, he would have agreed a long time ago. As a veteran who has fought death, his strength and courage are not bad. He has done it. But the other party was obviously not an ordinary person, and the fact that he lifted the feather easily showed that the other party was extremely powerful.

However, the laws of the last days were harsh, and there were very few vicious incidents, so he didn't worry too much. He was only silent for a while, and then nodded.

"Wait, wait! May I ask, what did you buy this feather for?" Seeing that his beloved was bought by the other party at a high price, the previous buyer asked a little unwillingly.

"Decoration, don't you think it's beautiful?" Luo Yuan said.

The previous buyer nodded subconsciously, and when he came back to his senses, the two of them had already walked away, only the fluorescence emitted by the feather, following the swing of the other's arm, passing through the faintly beautiful haze, he couldn't help but Some are lost.

…………

After paying the money, Luo Yuan moved the feather lightly to the bedroom. The bedroom was dark with no lights on.

At this time, the shimmering light emitted by the feathers became the only light source.

Luo Yuan discovered that this was not reflected light, but real luminescence. Only Luo Yuan knew that this was the appearance of a certain force naturally stimulated.

Naturally, such treasures are not used for decoration. That would be too wasteful. This kind of precious material is hard to come by. With this high-grade material, the clothes on his body can finally be upgraded again.
