Epoch of Twilight

The heavy rain became more and more pouring, and the warm rain did not seem to bring warmth to them, but only a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

Finally, everyone looked back at the cave that had already been flooded by the muddy sewage, with deep reluctance and heartache on their faces. This may be their last glance. Even if they come back here in the future, it will be impossible to find the location under the thousands of miles of ice.

The time was limited, and a group of people didn't dare to delay the time, so they rushed to the road with their wet luggage.

The water level on the ground was almost up to their waists. They were covered by heavy rain, and there was a slippery layer of ice under their feet. The road was quite difficult to walk. A group of people walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, almost at the speed of a turtle.

The raging flood made the mutated beasts no longer able to hide in the ground with peace of mind. The mutated beasts that usually hide without a trace but are rarely seen surfaced one after another at this time. From time to time, one or two mutated beasts could be seen struggling in the water. Howling in horror.

When they met for the first time, everyone's eyes were shining, and their excited faces became distorted, and then they chased desperately, but soon gradually became numb, even if the mutant beast appeared nearby, everyone turned a blind eye.

After the frozen earth, in order to resist the cold temperature, almost all of the mutant beasts that survived have undergone adaptive evolution. Most of them have thick hair and thick fat. These mutant beasts seem to be struggling in the water, but it is only because of the environmental mutation Uneasy, in fact, can't drown at all, and once chased by people, it can swim far faster than humans.

"Have you heard the strange sound of water?" At this moment, an evolutionary said suddenly

"I heard it too. It seems to be a waterfall. You see, the flood is flowing forward!" An evolutionary next to him listened carefully and said, and then he was puzzled: "But here is a plain for a hundred miles, there should be no water. A place of great disparity."

In fact, the sound of the waterfall has always existed, but it was covered by the sound of the torrential rain, and it was not clearly distinguished until here.

"Why do you care so much? I still worry about how to spend the night. If you have the strength to speak, it's better to walk a few steps quickly. It's almost dark." However, such a discovery did not attract anyone's attention, and soon was interrupted impatiently.

"Everyone, hurry up, there are not a few steps left." Ling Zhongan looked at the time immediately after hearing this, and urged: "Whatever the waterfall is, even if there is a waterfall nearby, when the rain stops, as long as one At night, no matter how big the waterfall is, it will freeze you."

This is also the reason everyone thinks about, isn’t it? If you pee outside at night, if you don’t hold back enough and the urine is sparse, you are guaranteed to freeze into icicles.

The slope was only a few kilometers away from the cave, and everyone hurried all the way, and continued walking for about ten minutes, and finally arrived.

At this time, the flow of the water surface is already quite turbulent, the water surface is choppy, one vortex after another, as if there is a bottomless abyss in front of it, and it is madly swallowing the rolling flood. As for the huge noise, it is like ten thousand horses. Pentium, deafening.

However, everyone turned a blind eye, they were completely stunned by the number of mutant beasts inhabiting this slope.

This slope is not big, the vertical height between the highest point and the water surface is only six or seven meters high, and the area is about one or two square kilometers, but the entire slope is full of mutant beasts of all sizes, although it is far from the beasts. At first glance, the number was not less than a thousand, and most of them belonged to small mutant beasts, which did not pose a great threat to them.

This slope has obviously become a nearby isolated island, a refuge for mutant beasts.

Everyone glanced at each other, seeing unconcealable excitement and greed in each other's eyes, it was like when a pie was thrown in front of them suddenly when they were about to starve to death, no! It was smashed in the mouth!

As long as I can hunt one, it will be a good night.

In addition to having a good meal, the fur can keep warm, and the most important thing is that its oil can burn fire.

"Don't worry, these mutated beasts can't run away. Go up and find a place to stay overnight." Ling Zhongan said, as the boss, he still tried his best to suppress his excitement, and he was quite reserved on the surface, but his subconscious The corners of his mouth opened, but he still betrayed him.

As he spoke, he walked towards the slope first. At this time, he noticed that the part of the slope submerged in the water had already melted a lot. If his memory is not wrong, the slope here is quite gentle, but at this time, this place is about to become a right angle. up.

Ling Zhongan frowned, as if he had a bad premonition, and immediately threw the nonsensical thoughts out of his mind.

He stepped on the ice below, and with a light step, the water surface was like a bomb exploding, splashing a huge wave, and at the same time, his body jumped up and landed on the slope.

Everyone tried their best to climb up the slope.

The sky has gradually darkened, but fortunately, the erosion of the warm and heavy rain has made the ice no longer hard. With everyone's desperate digging, a simple and wide ice cave has been completed before nightfall.

Seeing that the others were exhausted, perhaps because they were in a good mood, Ling Zhongan seemed very generous. He went out and hunted two mutant beasts himself, and let everyone eat freely. This meal made everyone feel full and satisfied.

The only fly in the ointment is that there is no dry firewood, so I can only drink blood.

...

The night was getting darker, and the torrential rain outside still didn't stop, and the deafening sound of the waterfall seemed to become more and more noisy. The unfamiliar environment and the biting chill in the ice cave made everyone toss and turn and couldn't sleep.

An evolutionary was unlucky enough to sleep next to the entrance of the cave. Naturally, it is impossible to seal the entrance of the ice cave, especially now that it is still raining. In order to avoid freezing and suffocating in sleep, the entrance of the cave was only covered with a few pieces of animal skins. one time.

He originally thought that today would be a tough day, but the more time passed, the more doubts in his heart.

He found that the wind blowing in from outside was not only not cold, but warm. Shouldn't it be the coldest time now? How can it be warmer outside than in the ice cave?

"Boss, are you asleep?" He couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"Say!" Ling Zhongan said in a muffled voice with his arms around the two women, obviously not asleep.

"It doesn't seem to be cold outside at all!"

"Don't worry about it, the temperature is brought by the rain, and it will be cold when the rain stops!" Ling Zhongan said dissatisfied.

Time, this waited until midnight, the heavy rain still didn't stop, and he was in a daze, when Ling Zhongan woke up suddenly, and heard the roar of beasts outside one after another, which sounded like wailing.

After living in the wild for so many years, he is very sensitive to crises. The phenomenon of beasts howling in this situation is undoubtedly a bad omen.

"Don't sleep anymore, there seems to be something wrong!"

Surviving in the wild, everyone's vigilance is extremely high. When they heard Ling Zhongan's sudden loud warning, everyone got up quickly, and they were still in a daze when they felt the whole ground shaking slightly.

"Why is there an earthquake again?" said an evolutionary.

However, before the words finished, there was a cracking sound, and the entire slope shook violently, as if falling from a height, with an amplitude of one meter. Except for a few people like Ling Zhongan who were able to stand still, the rest rolled into a ball.

Fortunately for everyone, this violent vibration only occurred once, and then the ground only swayed slightly.

During an earthquake, it is undoubtedly dangerous to stay in the ice cave. As soon as a group of people stood up, they couldn't wait to run out of the ice cave.

However, the duration of the earthquake was unexpectedly long. A group of people were drenched in the torrential rain for half an hour, and the ground was still shaking slightly.

"Isn't the earthquake like this?" An evolutionary objected,

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling uneasy. We have seen many earthquakes in these years, but this is the first time we have seen such an earthquake.

Ling Zhongan quickly looked around, but there was only a vast expanse of whiteness in front of him. He quickly called Xiaohu: "Xiaohu, take a look at the surrounding situation?"

"Okay, boss." In fact, even if Ling Zhongan didn't mention it, Xiaohu had subconsciously activated his ability. His eyes became extremely dark, like a black hole that absorbed everything, which made people feel creepy.

He looked at it for a long time, then suddenly screamed and said incoherently: "It's not good, slope, no, the ice we were standing on was melted by the water, and we are being washed away by the current now!"

"What?"

"How can this be?"

"What's wrong with you?"

Everyone exclaimed again and again, with expressions of disbelief.

Xiaohu seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly screamed: "No, there is a big waterfall ahead!"

...

Luo Yuan exuded flickering brilliance, lowered his head and quietly looked down at the earth, with almost unlimited computing power, simultaneously monitoring and processing all the hydrological data of the entire earth.

The density and size of the waterways and lakes he opened up far exceed those naturally formed by the earth. An ordinary riverway is tens of kilometers wide, and its depth is five or six hundred meters deep even if it does not count the ice layer. The astonishing amount of water melted in the layers is also extremely astonishing.

He must monitor the global hydrological situation at all times, and constantly modify and improve the future changes in water regime trends in various places, digest and divert the pouring of floods, and control the water level below the dangerous line.

However, this didn't take much power from Luo Yuan. He still had most of his spare power to transform sporadic islands on the sea. The ice on these islands was instantly melted by him, and all kinds of frozen plants were also destroyed He reversed in death.

Dry trees, withered weeds, and fallen shrubs are all full of vitality, and tender green shoots are growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few minutes, a forest of hundreds of square kilometers has been formed.

For Luo Yuan, who can control neutron-level microscopic substances freely, living against death is a natural thing, as simple as drinking water and eating.

Of course, this kind of behavior requires an astonishingly large amount of calculation. Even if he does it, it is not easy. He can only transform it on a small island, and it is impossible to transform it on a global scale in a short period of time.

These small islands are the refuges he opened up for the mutant beasts. Some mutant beasts in danger were transferred by him and temporarily placed there.

The group of survivors, Luo Yuan, has been paying attention all the time. In fact, Luo Yuan has noticed such an eye-catching target as soon as he arrived on Earth.

Seeing this group of people for the first time, he was still a little surprised. He never thought that after so many years, there are still people surviving on the earth, and there is such an acquaintance among them.

Seeing that they were about to be rushed into the river at this time, Luo Yuan suddenly had a thought. The dozen or so evolutionaries, together with thousands of mutant beasts, large and small, were immediately enveloped by an invisible force, with dozens of At twice the speed of sound, it flew towards the island in the sea.

At this moment, they can only be wronged and placed there temporarily.

They have lived in this harsh environment for 40 to 50 years, and they probably don't care about a few more days like this, not to mention that compared to before, at least those small islands will not lack food.
