Luo Yuan tried to cut the skin with his knife, but he could not. The key was that the knife kept sliding around, and it was hard to find a point to apply force on. Every time he used too much force, the knife would always slide to the side.
However, this feeling disappeared as soon as he used the Saber Flare. Physical resistance was obviously useless against the Saber Flare.
Even so, Huo Dong and the others still had fervent expressions on their faces.
They knew that Luo Yuan was an evolved human with two abilities. Other than his earth abilities, he also had a mysterious ability that allowed him to synthesize materials into other objects.
Based on Luo Yuan's experiment, it was obvious that the skin had a strong defense. They knew very well what kind of knife the Zhanmadao was. It was a sharp weapon that could cut through steel bars like tofu, but it could not cut through the skin.
It was definitely the best material to synthesize soft armor. With such a soft armor, normal attacks would not be able to hurt him.
From Hedong City until now, they were still wearing the hard jacket made from the Haunted Locust Tree Bark. After a few battles, it was already tattered, with many scratches and cracks. They could not be used anymore. They could only look at Luo Yuan and the other women enviously with their translucent bulletproof vests.
Luo Yuan had only made five bulletproof vests on the night of the turtle's birth, and one of them was only dark blue level due to the lack of materials.
There was a limited number of bulletproof vests, so not everyone could have them. Luo Yuan was not a saint after all, so only a few women could get bulletproof vests other than Cao Lin.
Since they were not close to each other, the others did not dare to say anything. Now that such a big piece of dragon skin had appeared, Huo Dong and Lin Xiaoji finally saw hope.
They had enough materials this time. Maybe Luo Yuan would synthesize it for them next time.
Both of them watched as Luo Yuan rolled the dragon's skin into a ball and put it into his luggage before putting it away.
Lin Xiaoji could not help but want to ask, but Huo Dong pulled him back. He glanced at the group of soldiers and warned them softly, "They're not with us. Don't talk nonsense!"
Lin Xiaoji was embarrassed and annoyed that he had been scolded for no reason, especially by Huo Dong. He straightened his neck and wanted to say something, but Luo Yuan glanced at him. Suddenly, all his complaints disappeared like fog under the sun.
Huo Dong sighed in his heart. He really didn't know how to read people's expressions. Although Boss Luo always appeared to be very tolerant and kind, it would be a big mistake to think that he was a kind person. He just hadn't crossed his bottom line yet.
Ever since he got to know Boss Luo, more than ten people had died in his hands. Even he, Huo Dong, did not have much psychological burden when it came to killing people, let alone Boss Luo. Once his bottom line was challenged, he would definitely show his most brutal side, even if he had to kill anyone.
This bottom line could be his woman, his worldview, or even the secrets and privacy that he felt needed to be kept secret. It seemed that he needed to discuss this with Lin Xiaoji to prevent himself from saying the wrong thing!
Sigh, why do I always have to clean up after this idiot? Huo Dong smiled wryly!
…
The journey was unbelievably smooth. Other than a few low-level mutated beasts, they did not encounter any danger.
"At this speed, we should be able to reach Hucheng City before nightfall!" Zhou Yicheng estimated the speed and confirmed.
When they got back on the highway, the giant lizard's speed was much faster. It was already approaching 30 kilometers per hour, and Hucheng City was already in sight.
"I hope so!" Luo Yuan said, looking at both sides of the highway.
The rain had lightened a little in the afternoon, but not long after, it became heavy again. Coupled with the blockage of the river, the flood season was approaching. In a short period of time, the nearby forest had accumulated more than half a foot of water. The world seemed to have turned into a huge lake.
If this was the case here, Hucheng City would not be any better. Without people to manage the large amount of garbage and corpses, the city's sewage system might not be able to operate anymore. If the rain did not stop the next day, the whole of Hucheng City would be flooded!
This was not only a problem of the road being difficult to travel on, but also hidden dangers in the muddy water.
During this period, the children did not cry or make a fuss. They were very well-behaved. Even Chen Jiayi, the youngest of them, did not make a sound.
The cruelty of the apocalypse had already made them understand how to survive even before they were adults. Moreover, the pain in front of them was nothing compared to the burning fire when they were starving.
"Little Yuan, why don't we stop for a while? I'll find something to shelter them from the rain." Wang Xiaguang looked at the pale faces of the children and said with sympathy.
"Big Sister, we don't need that. We're not cold at all!"
"We ate it at noon. It's still warm!"
Deng Wei and Zhong Chuqiang said at the same time.
They could not help but be afraid that these people would chase them away because of the trouble and waste of food. That afternoon's lunch was the most unforgettable in their lives. They had never had such a full meal since the apocalypse. If they were chased away because they were useless, they would not have another chance like this in the future.
Chen Jiayi was so anxious that she was about to cry.
"Hold on for another two hours. We'll find a place to stay in Hucheng City for the night," Luo Yuan said after looking at the time.
"They're still so young. They even had a fever in the afternoon. How can they take it?" Wang Xiaguang said angrily when she saw Luo Yuan's indifference.
"It won't take long anyway," Huang Jiahui said in support.
Zhao Yali did not say anything, but she was also dissatisfied with Luo Yuan.
Looking at the adults arguing over her and the three children panicking, Chen Jiayi was so scared that she could no longer hold back her tears. She did not dare to make a sound and could only hold back her tears.
"Alright, we'll stop for a while," Luo Yuan said helplessly.
It was not that he was indifferent. He had seen a similar reaction in Wang Shishi's eyes before. At that time, Wang Shishi had been the most insecure and afraid of being abandoned. She had been so attentive that she had almost fought with Huang Jiahui to do the housework. Luo Yuan found it funny when he thought about it.
Therefore, too much concern would only increase the psychological burden on these people. On the other hand, the appropriate test and labor would give them a sense of security because it was valuable. No matter how hard and tiring it was, they would gladly endure it.
Of course, it was not appropriate to say this in front of the children.
When the giant lizard stopped, Luo Yuan took out an extra piece of fish skin from his luggage. Wang Xiaguang was still a little angry, so she snatched it and carefully covered their heads. She did not notice that the children were getting more and more anxious.
… …
"There seems to be a bridge in front of us," Huo Dong suddenly said.
"You mean a bridge?" Luo Yuan asked to confirm.
"I used to run this road many times when I was doing business. I can find it even with my eyes closed." At this time, Huo Dong also came to his senses. His heart was filled with horror. The bridge over the bridge had been destroyed. Could the bridge over there have also been an accident? He quickly thought carefully and said, "But the river below is not wide, only a dozen meters."
"There's a river!" Zhou Yicheng, who was next to him, took out a military map wrapped in plastic and looked at it carefully for a while.
The river was too small, so it would be hard to notice if one did not pay attention. Usually, no one would pay attention to such a small bridge, but it was a big problem during the apocalypse, especially now that there was a flood.
Luo Yuan closed his eyes and thought for a while. Then he opened them and said, "I hope there's no problem, or we'll be in big trouble!"
