Epoch of Twilight

The monitor lizard backed up a few steps anxiously, and let out a deep growl.

Even Luo Yuan was startled. At this time, King Kong had already given it a huge sense of oppression, even if it was a green-level creature. To be cautious, Luo Yuan glanced at King Kong's loyalty, and he breathed a sigh of relief , loyalty did not change much.

After a while, King Kong came back to his senses, and tentatively walked and jumped slowly. At first, he staggered and wobbled, like a toddler, but soon his movements became more and more stable, and his speed became faster and faster. come faster...

Until Luo Yuan walked over with a blank face, Jin just stopped anxiously. It shrank its neck and stared at the ground, like a child who did something wrong. Its huge and fierce body gave people a strong contrast. feel.

Luo Yuan ignored it and walked to the almost invisible corpse with a radius of nearly ten meters.

Even without the identification technique, Luo Yuan knew that this was a mutant insect of the green grade. This kind of creature was extremely precious. Apart from some materials such as exoskeleton limbs, it was rich in vitality and flesh, which was enough for him to covet. .

Since that serious injury, the energy-rich body in his heart has been basically exhausted. Although some have been replenished later, the effect of those low-level flesh and blood is extremely limited. Up to now, it is still only the size of a sesame seed, and it is the same size as him. The size of mung beans in Shengshi is very different.

Maybe when the body is healthy, the energy-rich body can't see any effect except to make him more resistant to hunger, but once he is seriously injured, it can completely save his life.

At this time, this green mutant insect was extremely miserable, its exoskeleton was almost completely shattered, its penis and abdomen had been completely deflated, and its colorful internal organs dripped all over the floor, looking extremely disgusting.

However, Luo Yuan didn't care. In his eyes, there are only two kinds of corpses of mutated creatures. One is non-poisonous and edible, and the other is poisonous and inedible.

What's more, except for these disgusting viscera, unlike many people's imagination, insects do not lack muscles, and they are mainly concentrated in the organs, such as the circular muscle of the chest wall, which is a vertical and horizontal piece of about 8m*6m The staggered muscle area, where even the thinnest muscle fiber is as thick as a thigh, looks tough and full of elasticity.

Luo Yuan estimates that the total weight of this muscle area is no less than several tons.

King Kong found that Luo Yuan didn't care about it at all, and walked out stealthily. After leaving for a while, its expression gradually became excited, and it began to run wildly around like a merry-go-round, and its strange howling echoed in the empty wasteland from time to time.

Luo Yuan glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze, and focused his attention on this huge mutated insect. Fortunately, King Kong smashed all the bones of the insect, which saved him a lot of useless hands and feet. skeleton, and began to cut the muscles of this mutated insect.

Naturally, it is impossible for him to completely pack away this several-ton muscle area. This kind of meat rich in active energy is very easy to deteriorate, especially in this hot weather, even if it is smoked, it cannot be stored for long.

In the end, Luo Yuan only cut about 300 kilograms before stopping. Of course, the rest would not be wasted. Not long after he left with the meat, the giant lizard walked up to the corpse, sniffed it, and then He bowed his head and began to eat and chew.

Compared with before, when they smelled green-grade food, they became restless and crazy. After evolution, monitor lizards seem to eat a lot more politely. Obviously, green-grade food is not as attractive to them as before.

...

Originally, Luo Yuan was going to continue his journey after eating and resting for a while, but this unexpected incident delayed the trip.

A large amount of food should be processed in time, otherwise it will easily deteriorate. Huang Jiahui and others wanted to help, but seeing their tired faces, they were forced to rest by Luo Yuan.

Of course, for men, Luo Yuan is not so sympathetic, Zhang Wu, Yang Zhiqing and Yan Mengjun are surrounded by Luo Yuan's command.

This place is located in the former safe area, and there is not a lot of withered grass cut by the local organization. As long as you remove the grass, you can see that the withered grass is piled up tightly. In addition, there has not been much rain recently, and the withered grass looks very strange. Dry and highly flammable!

However, more than 300 kilograms of meat is not a small amount, and it will already be noon when all the meat is smoked.

The rich and alluring aroma filled the whole space, watching Luo Yuan put pieces of smoked, dark red and oily dried meat into his backpack, and sometimes took a piece of it, stuffed it into his mouth, and took a bite , their faces were flushed red from eating, Zhang Wu and the others' throats trembled, but they could only stare blankly.

Of course, it’s not that he is stingy, but these jerky smells delicious, but they are extremely tough, like rubber, no matter how hard they try, they can’t bite them. After all, this is the muscle of a high-level life, not a relatively weak one. Internal organs, for those who are not power evolutionists, they can't do anything at all.

In the end, they had no choice but to choose a compromise. They used Luo Yuan's knife to chop up a piece of jerky and put it in the pot to prepare the broth.

These muscles are already heavy, but after shrinking, they become even denser. Three hundred kilograms of jerky can only be packed into two backpacks, and they are completely packed. Luo Yuan zipped the zipper up and put it aside, waiting for the broth to cook through. Afterwards, he woke up Huang Jiahui and the others.

After everyone drank a bowl of broth, they went on the road again.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the rumbling sound of the train came from the nearby underground, from far to near, and then quickly passed by. This was the first time the train returned, and the time was nearly a day later than Luo Yuan expected. Not smooth.

He felt a little heavy in his heart, which meant that there would be a huge delay in the migration of the people of Motu City. At this critical moment when an earthquake could erupt at any time, this was undoubtedly bad news.

What's worse is that the materials have not been transported yet. According to Mayor Song's plan, the train will have to be transported at least one more time, which will delay more precious time.

Luo Yuan can't judge whether materials or human lives are important, and he is not qualified to comment, because countless people have searched for valuable equipment and machines in the occupied areas, and there are still countless search teams going deep into dangerous areas. , constantly searching.

At night, a gorgeous aurora appeared in the sky, like a coquettish ribbon, swaying and unpredictable in the distance.

This is the third time he has seen the aurora, which is a harbinger of disaster, the noose of death, whether it is the volcanic eruption on the highway in Hedong City, or the lightning storm in the Kunlun Mountains, every time Luo Yuan is deeply and deeply impressed. Painful memories.

"Is an earthquake going to happen?" Wang Shishi whispered anxiously.

Luo Yuan was silent for a while and said: "I don't know, but we will be fine."

Everyone looked silent!
