"Do you have cigarettes?" Luo Yuan asked Commander Xia. He had quit smoking a long time ago, so he was no longer addicted to it. However, he still had the urge to smoke under the heavy pressure.
Commander Xia was stunned and hesitated, but he still took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. The pack was blank without any labels, and it was much shorter than normal.
Luo Yuan looked at it and asked doubtfully, "Special cigarettes?"
Commander Xia did not know whether to laugh or cry. "You could say that, but it's different from what you think. This is an internal cigarette, not for sale to the public. It's for high-risk and high-stress people. Do you want one?"
"It's so high-end! I want one too!" Fatty Xie said eagerly.
Commander Xia threw a cigarette over. Fatty Xie caught it and sniffed it greedily. "I haven't smoked for a long time. I've forgotten what it tastes like. In the past, I couldn't quit even if I wanted to. But now, I can."
Luo Yuan also took one and looked at it curiously. It was a little short and thin, not enough for a few puffs. He took out his lighter. Lighters were essential tools to survive in the wild during the apocalypse, so he had a lot of them in his pocket.
He lit the cigarette and took a deep puff. His lungs, which had become sensitive due to the improvement of his Physique, coughed violently, but he got used to it after a few puffs. He found that the cigarette was a little strange, and the taste was a little different. As he swallowed the cigarette, he became a little excited. He looked at Commander Xia and asked, "Is there something wrong with this cigarette?"
"This cigarette is not meant for ordinary people to smoke. It has a special effect to stimulate the mind," Xiao Fei explained. "In fact, we don't smoke if it's not too stressful."
"Isn't this a poisonous product?" Wang Shishi blinked her eyes and asked curiously.
Fatty Xie was stunned. He looked at the half-smoked cigarette and did not know whether he should throw it away or not.
Commander Xia sighed and said, "You're right, but don't worry. After several modifications, it's not addictive anymore. It won't affect your body much if you don't use it in large quantities, but it can help soldiers overcome the fear and pressure of war and increase their combat power.
In fact, every big country had these things, and they all had different names. Some were called 'Courage Needle', 'Life-Saving Pill', and 'Fortune Medicine'. They were actually the same type of medicine, but they were all kept a secret. Just like the Gulf War before the apocalypse, a large number of veterans were depressed, their memory deteriorated, and their concentration was scattered. Do you think it was because they were not used to the war? It was all because he had been injected with stimulants.
Over the past year, wars more cruel than World War II have occurred in China no less than a dozen times. Countless soldiers have died, countless cities have fallen, and countless civilians have died tragically. Some soldiers and even military leaders have committed suicide or fled due to mental breakdowns. If it wasn't for this thing holding the last breath, the situation might have been far worse than it is now. "
Xiao Fei also stopped smiling and said solemnly, "Soldiers are people too. They are all the same when they are afraid. Many times when I go on night patrol, I hear people secretly crying!"
Luo Yuan was silent. He did not want to throw the cigarette away. Instead, he smoked it carefully.
"Roar!"
At this moment, the injured giant beast staggered to its feet and roared at the fallen giant beast. Then, it stared at them with a violent and ferocious expression. Turning its huge body, it crawled over.
"Captain, it's coming!"
"I think we beat its wife. This son of a bitch wants revenge!" A soldier who seemed to be from Sichuan joked.
"How do you know? I said the one who died was definitely its wife!" The soldier seemed to be more relaxed because there was only one injured giant beast and it was moving slowly.
"All of you are making me worry. Get serious! No. 1 Cannon, fire again! This time, make sure to hit the motherf * cker!" Commander Xia ordered loudly through his headset.
"Wait!" Luo Yuan stopped him and said, "Since we don't have many cannonballs left, let's save them for the critical moment. Leave this one to me!"
Everyone looked at them. Even Mu Wenwen, who had been looking down, could not help but look up.
Commander Xia looked hesitant. He looked at Xiao Fei, who nodded slightly. He then turned back to Luo Yuan and said seriously, "Are you sure? This is not a joke. "
Luo Yuan nodded and said confidently, "Two minutes!"
"Alright! If you can kill this sea monster, I'll … "Commander Xia shouted. Just as he was about to make a promise, he realized that he really couldn't give it to the other party. The other party wasn't a soldier. After a long time, he finally spat out a few words," I'll introduce my sister-in-law to you. "
Wang Shishi snorted in dissatisfaction. When Luo Yuan rejected her with a smile, a sweet smile appeared on her face. Girls yearned for love the most. Her previous admiration and respect for Luo Yuan had turned into admiration. She said sweetly, "Brother Luo, why don't I go with you?"
"There's no need. It's just an injured mutated beast. Just stay here. I'll be back soon." Luo Yuan patted her head.
However, when he looked at the beast a few hundred meters away, he suddenly became serious. He focused his Will and his eyes glowed. His Will was immersed in his body, and his heartbeat was getting slower and slower.
These days, he had been using his Will to train his body. Of course, it did not work, but at least he could now control his heartbeat. It did not take up too much time like before.
As his heartbeat slowed down, the feeling of weakness grew stronger. In just five seconds, his body shook. He could feel the wonderful rhythm, and the earth had merged with him. Endless power spread from his feet to every part of his body, including his cells.
After adding a point to Strength, his Earth Stomp had risen by one level, from its original Level 3 to Level 4. Similarly, his Stamina had also increased by one point, becoming 4 points. Moreover, once he entered the Earth Pulse state, his connection with the earth became even stronger, allowing him to absorb even more power.
The earth was his shield and the source of his power.
In this state, he was terrifyingly energetic. His eyes seemed to be overflowing with radiance, burning and bright. He felt as if his entire body was filled with inexhaustible power!
He moved in an instant, and the stones under his feet cracked into pieces. The next moment, he dashed out like lightning. The onlookers could only feel a gust of wind blowing past them, but Luo Yuan had already disappeared from where he stood.
With his endless stamina, he almost sprinted forward at a high speed. The strong wind in front of him, under the influence of the balanced airflow of his clothes, went against common sense and bypassed his body, forming a whirlpool of air behind him.
"Is he a speed evolved human?" Commander Xia exclaimed in shock as he looked at the figure that was almost impossible to capture and the strange shape behind him.
"I heard that he's an earth type evolved human." Xiao Fei was shocked. "But his speed is too fast. I'm afraid a level five evolved human can only be like this."
"Did he eat some kind of treasure?" Xiao Fei murmured.
Fatty Xie also looked serious as he stared at Luo Yuan's shadow. It was one thing to know that Luo Yuan was strong, but it was another thing to know exactly how strong he was. With such speed, there was no way he could fight back. If he attacked, he would die.
Only Wang Shishi looked proud. Her chin was slightly raised, and she could not hide the smile on her face. It was as if everyone was talking about her. However, she was also worried about Brother Luo's safety, and her heart was in a mess.
… …
Luo Yuan covered a distance of a few hundred meters in the blink of an eye. He stopped when he was about a hundred meters away from the sea monster and looked up at it.
The sea monster was more than ten meters tall and ten meters wide. It looked like a small hill, and it gave off a strong sense of oppression. Its body was more than ten times bigger than the light green level giant they had met earlier.
He had never seen such a huge creature on land.
However, while its size gave it terrifying strength, it also made its speed quite slow. Perhaps it could be very agile in the sea by relying on its huge flat four legs, but on land, its speed was even slower than that of a blue level creature.
Luo Yuan was slightly relieved. He had overestimated the sea monster. In fact, once the sea monster came ashore, it could only scare people with its huge body. It would be easier to deal with this kind of creature than he had imagined.
Luo Yuan had the ability to do so. He was well-balanced in all aspects, and he had no shortcomings. His reaction speed was fast, and his weapon was sharp, so he could deal the most damage. Otherwise, he would not even be able to break through the sea monster's defense, let alone deal with it.
The angry sea monster didn't even notice the small figure not far away from it. At this time, its blood-red eyes were completely occupied by the strange 'creature' that shot out that terrifying attack. It was this' creature 'that killed its partner and injured it. The hatred and the pain of the wound had made it lose its mind.
It wanted revenge. It wanted to bite it to death and swallow it.
Its huge body moved with difficulty, and it roared angrily.
It was getting closer and closer.
Luo Yuan lifted his foot with all his might. The veins on his forehead were bulging, and his blood was boiling. For a moment, he felt like the whole earth was lifted by him. When he used up all his strength, he stomped his foot heavily.
"Boom!"
In an instant, it felt like the earth was flipping and the water was boiling. Countless gravel and sand violently surged and jumped a few meters high, but before they could land on the ground, they were turned into powder. Even the boulders and the trees that were as thick as the mouth of a bowl were turned into dust under the tremendous force.
The huge sea monster was already burdened by its weight, so it could not support itself. The sudden shock made it stagger, and then it fell heavily on the ground.
Within a radius of 50 meters, there was a cloud of dust, making it impossible to see anything. Under the cover of the dust, a black figure could be seen running at high speed. The dust that filled the air didn't affect him at all. When he got close to the Sea Beast, he suddenly jumped five or six meters into the air and landed lightly on the Sea Beast's shoulder.
There was a pungent smell on the sea monster's body. Its skin was very smooth and slippery, but Luo Yuan's feet were rooted to the ground, and he did not move.
As soon as he landed, he had already unsheathed his Zhanmadao. With his high concentration of Will, the light of the Zhanmadao was intense. Just when Luo Yuan was about to stab it, the heavy sea monster instinctively felt danger. It suddenly reacted, and its body shook violently.
However, this level of shaking was not enough to shake Luo Yuan off. Other than taking a few steps when it was caught off guard, it quickly adjusted its center of gravity and quickly stabilized itself. Before he could take a breath, Luo Yuan felt that the sky had turned dark, and even the sun was blocked. He saw a huge foot that was about six to seven meters wide, and it was slamming heavily in his direction.
Before the foot arrived, the wind was already strong.
Such a huge body represented a terrifying power. If one was hit by this flat foot, it would be impossible to leave a complete corpse.
Perhaps in the ocean, there was water resistance, so this attack speed was not bad. Unfortunately, this was land, and for Luo Yuan, this speed was too slow. He even had the time to curse. When the foot was less than three meters away from his head, and his hair was blown wildly by the strong wind, he stomped on the ground and flew like an arrow. He passed through the gap of the foot, and flew over its throat. While his body was still in the air, he held his Zhanmadao tightly with both hands, aimed at its thick throat, and used all his strength to slash it diagonally.
The tough skin was slightly stagnant, and the sharp light of the Zhanmadao smoothly cut through it. The light of the Zhanmadao flashed. There was a one-meter wide wound on its throat, and even the cartilage of the laryngeal canal was cut off.
The next moment, he rolled on the ground. He did not look at it, and after a few consecutive rolls, he quickly ran away while the surrounding smoke was covering him.
When Luo Yuan was about ten meters away, the sluggish sea beast finally let out an angry roar, but the sound was completely leaky. There was a sound that sounded like a high-pressure water gun being sprayed into the air, and soon, the thick smell of blood filled the air.
Amidst the smoke and dust, the fear of death, the sea beast began its final frenzy. It seemed to want to find that hateful insect. Tons of soil and gravel were violently lifted into the air by its flat feet. The terrifying force caused the dust to splatter everywhere like bullets. For a moment, the sky seemed to be raining mud and gravel.
Luo Yuan could not help but continue to retreat, watching from afar. Gradually, the movement of the sea beast became smaller and smaller. After a few minutes, there was finally a heavy sound in the smoke, and the ground shook slightly. Then, there was no more sound.
