Wang Xiaguang had been living in a small base and had never eaten anything above light blue level. She had almost starved to death, so her Physique was the weakest among all of them. He had only inhaled a little of the volcanic ash, yet he was already on the verge of death.
Luo Yuan panicked when he saw Wang Xiaguang coughing up blood. Then he saw that the cloth they used to cover their mouths and noses were completely dry. He knew what they were thinking and said angrily, "What's going on? Didn't I say to soak it in water? Even if there's no water, there must be urine. What's the point of caring about that? "
Everyone was annoyed and regretted not listening to Luo Yuan. A few of the men were already running outside.
"Forget it, it's too late. Use blood! We can't stay here any longer. We have to leave as soon as possible, "Luo Yuan quickly stopped them.
The place lacked everything except blood and corpses. The blood on the ground had almost reached the edge of their shoes.
Everyone quickly soaked the cloth in blood and covered their noses. The pungent smell of blood was nauseating, but no one dared to put it down in order to survive. Luo Yuan also soaked the cloth in blood and covered his mouth and nose firmly. He tied a knot behind his head.
Wang Xiaguang's condition was getting worse. Her coughing was getting worse, and her body was wobbling. She could not stand steadily, and her face looked like it was about to bleed. Luo Yuan was worried. He quickly ran to the dark blue level fish, skinned it and collected a few kilograms of blood from its wound.
The blood of a dark blue level creature was very nourishing. Even a dying person could survive if they drank a large amount of it. Luo Yuan did not care about Wang Xiaguang's refusal and forced the blood into her mouth. After a while, her pale face finally turned rosy.
He then carried her up. Her bones that had just healed cracked again. Luo Yuan gritted his teeth and endured the intense pain as he strode towards the giant lizard.
After about ten minutes of rest, the giant lizard's condition was much better than before.
It stood up shakily when it saw Luo Yuan.
Luo Yuan asked it to lie down again and climbed up its back with difficulty. He then said to everyone, "Everyone, come up."
Although the few of them were terrified of the giant lizard, they couldn't care less about it now. A large amount of volcanic ash was falling like goose feathers. Many of the volcanic ash was almost the size of a basketball. Everyone knew that if they didn't leave this place as soon as possible, they would die.
However, it was difficult for a normal person to climb onto the back of the giant lizard. The lizard was about six meters tall. Even when it was lying on the ground, it was still more than three meters tall. Its body was also very smooth. If Luo Yuan had not pulled on its back, no one would have been able to climb up alone.
After the evolution, the Giant Iguana's back had become much wider, but it was still very crowded to accommodate so many people. In addition, the Giant Iguana's scales were smooth, so it was really dangerous to sit on it.
The few of them huddled together tightly, afraid that they would slip if they were not careful.
"There's one more person here. Huo Dong is still at the collapsed area. He hasn't come up yet," Huang Jiahui said anxiously as she grabbed Luo Yuan's arm.
For a moment, he almost wanted to give up on Wang Xiaguang. Wang Xiaguang's condition was getting worse and worse. Every minute he delayed would increase the possibility of her dying. However, in the end, he could not deceive his conscience and watched a person die. He looked at Wang Xiaguang, who was already semi-conscious, and touched her face. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Wait for me for a minute."
"Come back quickly!" Huang Jiahui said worriedly.
Luo Yuan nodded and walked quickly towards the collapsed area.
…
Huo Dong covered his mouth and nose with the corner of his shirt and paced around the hole like a trapped animal.
This section of the highway was suspended in the air. Large cement pillars a few meters in diameter supported the entire road. They were about five meters above the ground. Other than a few cement pillars that were almost broken, there was no other place for him to climb. Even if he climbed up, he would still be more than two meters away from the nearest pillar. In fact, he had climbed a few times, but every time he reached the top, he could no longer find a place to put his hands on.
He looked at Ning Xiaoran's stiff body next to him and felt uneasy. "Will anyone come to save her?"
He realized that the sound of the beast tide outside had disappeared for a while. Other than the continuous slight earthquakes, the surroundings were quiet. A trace of panic flashed in his heart. He felt lonely, as if he had been abandoned by the world. He opened his mouth to shout, but found that his voice seemed to be stuck in his throat. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shout.
Despair, loneliness, anxiety, and frustration!
All sorts of negative emotions almost drove him crazy. He had never thought that one day he would be so weak. He had never thought that he would feel so hopeless when he was alone in a desperate situation. Even when he had seen the beasts, it was nothing compared to this.
"Maybe they're all dead … Or maybe they've already left," Huo Dong said to himself, smiling bitterly.
Huo Dong laughed and cried at the same time. Snot and tears flowed all over the ground. Just when he was at his most desperate, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps coming towards him. Huo Dong was stunned. He listened carefully for a while, and suddenly his body trembled with excitement. He quickly looked up, and the next moment, a familiar face appeared above him. "Grab this thing, I'll pull you up. Hurry up!"
A long colorful snake was caught by Luo Yuan and thrown down.
Huo Dong nodded his head vigorously. His eyes were a little wet, and he quickly grabbed the snake's tail. The snake's cold and rough tail gave him goosebumps, but he held on tightly. His badly mutilated palm was bleeding again, but he did not feel it at all.
As his body became lighter, he was pulled out of the hole by Luo Yuan.
Before the apocalypse, he had been a successful agent. He had always been tactful, and he always said what he wanted. Perhaps he had experienced and seen many things, but he had never been truly touched before. However, this time, his heart was truly touched.
Before the apocalypse, it was an era of information explosion, and it was also an era of great development of personality. Loyalty had become a strange word to many people. Huo Dong had always been respectful to Luo Yuan, and always followed his orders. In fact, he was only relying on a stronger person for his own safety. If Luo Yuan were to die, or if he were to encounter a stronger force than Luo Yuan, he could leave without hesitation. Of course, he would not have any psychological burden.
However, this time, he suddenly had the idea of serving Luo Yuan to the death.
...
The giant lizard's huge body moved forward step by step. Its pace was not fast, but if one counted the distance it covered with each step, its speed could reach almost 10 meters per second.
The trees on both sides quickly retreated, and the volcano was getting further and further away.
Luo Yuan sat on the back of the giant lizard, and he carefully looked at a rough object about 30 centimeters in diameter.
It was the bark of the Heaven's Pillar Tree, which he had found on his way to look for Huo Dong. The bark was very thick, and such a small piece of bark was actually more than 20 centimeters thick. The surface of the bark was crisscrossed, showing a regular geometric pattern.
It was quite dense, and looked rough at first glance, but it was quite smooth to the touch. It was also extremely heavy. Such a small thing weighed almost 40 kilograms, and was probably denser than iron.
However, what surprised him more was the level of the item.
It wasn't dark blue, nor was it light green. It was green.
Luo Yuan did not expect mutated creatures to evolve so quickly. He had originally thought that light green was the highest level, but this piece of bark had shattered his imagination.
Fortunately, this was a tree without consciousness. If it had been like the Ghost Locust Tree, it would only have been endless despair.
He turned back to look at the Heaven's Pillar Tree in the distance.
The lava had completely soaked the Heaven's Pillar Tree, and only a part of the bare branches were left outside. Unbelievably, even though it was soaked in lava, the branches were still not burning, but they were rapidly withering.
The withered branches were even redder in color, so reddish that they looked like pieces of iron that had been heated by magma. The branches were shrinking under the high temperature, and even the roots that were left outside were slowly shrinking.
This phenomenon was very strange. Luo Yuan did not know why, but he felt that the Heaven's Pillar Tree was not dead. It seemed to be gathering all its essence to fight against the high temperature of the lava. Perhaps it would not take long for a new Heaven's Pillar Tree to appear in its original place.
However, this had nothing to do with him anymore, because he was going to leave soon.
Luo Yuan looked at the tree one last time, and turned back, "How is Xiaguang?"
"She's a little stable after drinking the blood, but she inhaled a lot of volcanic ash earlier. She can't cleanse her lungs now, and I'm afraid she'll have asthma in the future." Huang Jiahui hugged Wang Xiaguang and said worriedly.
"That's the only thing we can do, but she'll be better once her Physique is strengthened," Luo Yuan said seriously.
The stronger one's Physique was, the stronger the body's ability to expel toxins. The giant lizard had been breathing normally since the beginning, and the amount it inhaled was much greater than the others, but it was still fine. Luo Yuan only felt a little itchy in his lungs, but he did not feel like coughing. Lin Xiaoji was the same. That was the benefit of having a strong Physique.
"There's volcanic ash everywhere, when will it disappear?" Wang Shishi said weakly, snuggling in Luo Yuan's arms.
She had really tried her best this time, and her performance was far beyond Luo Yuan's expectations. She was now covered in wounds, and even her telekinesis was exhausted. Even now, she still felt a splitting headache, and she could not even stand up.
Luo Yuan touched her head and comforted her softly, "You'll be fine once you enter the forest. The leaves have a strong purification effect. They can absorb a lot of dust, including volcanic ash. You'll be able to breathe normally in there."
Wang Shishi could obviously feel the change in Luo Yuan's attitude towards her. He was no longer casually reprimanding her. She smiled weakly, and her heart was filled with sweetness.
Luo Yuan looked not far away, and there was an endless sea of trees. Layers of leaves formed an impenetrable green network. Most of the mutated beasts had left the area due to the eruption of the volcano nearby, so the sea of trees was extremely quiet.
A gentle breeze blew, and the sea of trees rustled. The giant lizard raised its head and roared, announcing its arrival, and stepped into the forest.
