There was no light at night during the apocalypse, so there was no entertainment.
When Luo Yuan and Zhao Yali came back, they were already setting up their tents and getting ready to sleep. There were already a lot of tents. Even though they had given two to the soldiers, there were still three left, more than enough for eight people to sleep in.
Chen Xianfeng was an exception, as there were no tents that could accommodate his height.
Before they went to sleep, Luo Yuan walked to the corner where the food cubes were. He hesitated for a long time before he decided to leave three cubes behind and walked out with the rest.
Under the moonlight, Lao Huang was curled up into a ball, motionless. Over the past three days, its hair had yet to grow, revealing its knotted muscles. However, compared to a few days ago, the wounds had all scabbed over, and it was no longer in a bloody state.
As Luo Yuan walked closer, its ears moved slightly, and its originally tense muscles suddenly relaxed.
It opened its eyes, revealing a pair of eyes that shone in the night. Then, it closed its eyes slightly, like an old dog that was about to die, too lazy to move.
Luo Yuan walked forward and opened the bag containing the food cubes.
As soon as the scent wafted through the air, it immediately perked up. Its eyes widened like a pair of round light bulbs, and its body struggled to stand up with some difficulty. Its broken tail, which had already been broken in half, also began to shake happily, and its whole dog face actually revealed an almost flattering smile.
Luo Yuan laughed. It was indeed a dog. Even though it had become a mutated beast, it could not change its habits.
He separated the food cubes into ten pieces and threw them in front of Lao Huang. It was a huge investment, and even Luo Yuan felt a little heartache. One food cube contained enough calories to last everyone except Luo Yuan and Chen Xianfeng for a day (excluding the soldiers). Not to mention, it contained high-level active energy, which was a great supplement and strengthening for living creatures. It was also an opportunity for mutated beasts to evolve.
Other than the first day, when Lao Huang had unconsciously enjoyed so many food cubes, it had only eaten three cubes each day for the other two days.
Hopefully, it would be of some use. Luo Yuan thought to himself as he watched Lao Huang gobble down the cubes, along with the soil and gravel around it.
He then turned around and walked towards another area. The Giant Lizard and Huang were not in the same area. As the saying goes, two tigers cannot live on the same mountain. Mutated creatures had a much higher requirement for personal space than humans. The distance between the two was a full kilometer.
When he returned, his bag was empty.
…
The night sky was like water, and the moonlight had already been completely covered by the dark clouds, leaving only a vague halo of the moon.
Luo Yuan looked up at the sky and sniffed a few times. The humidity in the air was unusually heavy that day.
I'm afraid tomorrow's weather won't be good! He was a little worried.
Rain would not only slow down the journey and lower morale, it would also cause unnecessary trouble and danger. If they were unlucky enough to encounter a thunderstorm, it would be even worse. After the apocalypse, there were many dense forests. It would be extremely dangerous for people to walk in them, and the whole team would have to stop and rest.
Luo Yuan had no choice but to wait and see. If there was a thunderstorm, he might have to postpone it for a day.
He frowned slightly and finally sighed.
When he walked into the subway station, Luo Yuan slightly increased his footsteps to remind the others that he was back. He knew that if he did not come back, many people would not be able to sleep peacefully. This included not only those close to him, but also Huo Dong and the others.
The alertness of people during the apocalypse was unimaginable. To be able to survive until now, everyone was more or less sensitive.
As usual, Luo Yuan walked alone to the entrance of the subway station and sat down with his legs crossed.
In his current state, he could not sleep near the others. Otherwise, everyone would have nightmares.
He could barely control his aura when he was awake, but once he fell asleep, he could not control it at all. Every slight emotional fluctuation would cause a drastic change in his aura. More importantly, if Luo Yuan had a dream, and it happened to be a nightmare, it would not be surprising if a few people woke up the next day.
After all, this was the result of Luo Yuan's recent advancement and his inability to control his own power perfectly.
Aura was mysterious, but its foundation was nothing more than willpower and perception. Willpower was power, and perception was the source of power. People with weak willpower, even if they made a fierce expression, would still give others a feeling of being tough on the outside but weak on the inside. However, people with strong willpower, even if they just stood there without saying a word, they could still give others pressure.
Therefore, if he could control his Will, he could also control his aura. Sitting down was the best way Luo Yuan could think of to control his Will.
Of course, without the guidance of skills such as knife skills, these auras were not very powerful and could only be used to scare people. On the other hand, knife skills could make the aura more efficient, precise, and powerful.
It was a quiet night.
The next day, Luo Yuan, who was half-asleep, suddenly felt his heart throbbing. He could not help but open his eyes.
The surroundings were quiet. Only the strange cries of the unknown insects could be heard. It was still very noisy.
The sky was still dark. Luo Yuan looked at the time and realized it was only four o 'clock.
It was very humid at night. After sitting for a whole night, Luo Yuan was soaked. His hair looked like it had just been soaked in water. He wiped his face to dry it. He looked up at the sky and saw that it was full of dark clouds that looked like they were going to fall.
He stood up and moved his slightly stiff legs. Within a few seconds, the blood in his body was flowing smoothly again.
Then, he picked up the Zhanmadao next to him and walked towards a broken building in the distance.
The building had obviously been a high-end office building before the apocalypse. Even though it was broken, the remaining part was still 12 stories high. It was the highest place in the area.
The interior of the building was very damaged. Many of the stairs had fallen off, and some of the floors had even fallen to the next floor. Only a few twisted steel bars were left, stretching weakly.
However, this did not stop Luo Yuan.
If there were no stairs, he jumped directly to the second floor. If there were no floors, he carefully stepped on the rotten walls. He used the steel bars and pits along the way to quickly cross the building.
With 14 points of Dexterity, he could easily make all kinds of incredible moves.
His movements were more agile than a monkey's, and softer than a cat's.
In less than two minutes, he was already standing on the top of the broken building, looking into the distance.
The sky was still dark. Even with Luo Yuan's eyesight, he could not see very far. He waited patiently until the sky gradually brightened, but he still could not see anything strange. Could the palpitations just now have been an illusion?
Luo Yuan had no choice but to return.
When he returned, everyone had already woken up and started to pack up, but the soldiers were still sleeping soundly.
"Should we wake them up?" Huang Jiahui asked.
Luo Yuan looked at the time and said, "It's only five o 'clock now. We'll leave at seven. Let them sleep for another hour."
"Hey, what's wrong with your neck?" Luo Yuan noticed that Huang Jiahui's neck was a little white and swollen when she turned her head.
"I was just about to say that there's some water seeping in here. When I woke up, the tent was soaked, "Huang Jiahui said gloomily as she touched her neck.
"Where? Let me see," Luo Yuan said quickly.
The tent had already been put away. Luo Yuan quickly walked to the spot where Huang Jiahui had placed the tent the night before. He did not have to look carefully to know that there was already a big puddle of water there. There were some cracks on the marble in the area, so the water had seeped in there.
He touched it with his index finger and tasted it.
His facial expression changed. It was seawater!
He realized that his previous deduction was wrong. It was not that the flood season had advanced, but that it had just started. The seawater had already flowed in and affected some of the low-lying areas. As the flood season reached its peak, the huge tide would flood the entire Jiangnan Province.
It would not take too long. It could be as late as half a month, or as early as a few days.
At that moment, Huo Dong let out a cry of surprise. His voice was filled with unconcealable fear and despair, "Boss Luo, look, what's that outside?"
Luo Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He carried his knife and quickly walked out of the door. The others quickly followed.
Luo Yuan looked up and could not help but gasp. There were countless small dots flying towards them from afar. Almost half of the sky was covered by them.
He could not estimate the exact number. The scene in front of him made his scalp tingle.
There were countless flying creatures. As they got closer, their huge bodies were gradually revealed.
These flying creatures did not belong to the same species, or even the same species. There were not only birds in the sky, but also a large number of insects. There were even flying mutated beasts with wings. Some of them might be food for another species, but they were all flying in the same direction.
As they got closer, countless chirping sounds could be vaguely heard. After a while, the sound became louder and louder, filling the sky.
However, these sounds seemed to be panicking, more like wailing.
They were escaping!
Luo Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He looked into the distance, his heart sinking.
…..
Half an hour later, the escaping team finally flew across the sky, leaving behind a floor full of feces and people who still had lingering fear.
Luo Yuan looked serious and said in a deep voice, "We can't wait any longer. Wake everyone up. We'll leave immediately after eating!"
If the area in front was really flooded by the tide, then due to the speed of the escaping team, this was probably only the first wave. They would have to face the next wave of beasts.
And there would be more than one wave!
They had to leave this place as soon as possible. If they could not escape, they would have to face the attack of the beasts. If they stayed, they would definitely die.
The soldiers were woken up one by one. After more than 10 hours of sleep, they had recovered most of their energy. Their condition was much better than the day before, and their faces were rosy.
Time was running out. In order to leave as soon as possible, Luo Yuan gathered everyone together and briefly explained his analysis and the cruel situation to them. Everyone's expression changed.
