Luo Yuan drove away from the Jingyue district. The road was flat and there were few cars.
Luo Yuan felt a little dizzy after driving for a while. He did not care at first, as he had not slept since yesterday. It must be a side effect of insomnia.
But soon, he felt something was wrong.
The surroundings became noisy from time to time, and then silent from time to time. His vision began to distort and blur.
Luo Yuan quickly stopped the car by the roadside.
He rubbed his face hard, trying to wake himself up, but it was getting worse. His head was buzzing as if there were countless mosquitoes circling him. He had a splitting headache. "What's going on? This has never happened before."
He kept taking deep breaths and slowly leaned against the seat, trying to stay calm.
Fortunately, as time passed, the hallucinations gradually faded.
Gradually, a wondrous feeling arose spontaneously. He suddenly closed his eyes and quietly felt everything. He was not sure if it was an illusion, but he seemed to have a vague sense of his surroundings. Even with his eyes closed, he could still find the approximate position of an object.
He suddenly reached out his hand and grabbed something in the car. He opened his eyes and was shocked.
It was a palm-sized Mickey Mouse doll that had been thrown in the corner.
He was sure that he didn't notice that there was a Mickey Mouse doll in the car, and when he closed his eyes, it was just like normal. Everything was dark, but somehow, he knew that there was something there, and he knew its general shape.
There was no reason, no explanation. It was completely out of the ordinary.
He kept experimenting and took out something from the toolbox. Magazines, disposable cups, and a box of condoms. He had not looked through these things before. Even the toolbox was closed, but it did not affect his senses. It was as if the toolbox was transparent.
When he discovered that this wasn't a coincidence but a real existence, he couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. He knew how powerful this ability was. Even if someone attacked him in the future, he would be able to feel it without turning around. If he had this ability yesterday, he would have dared to attack the rat tide alone. This ability did not increase his direct lethality. It was more like lubricating oil in a machine. It could increase his combat and survival skills.
After about 10 minutes, his brain was finally fully awake. He even seemed to be in high spirits.
Suddenly, a system notification sounded in his mind.
"Beep, Sense + 1"
"So this is Sense! I thought it had evolved? It seemed that it was because of the rat brain. He didn't expect the reaction to be so intense this time. Compared to the system's gentle addition of points, this kind of change of body quality with the flesh and blood of mutated creatures was obviously more violent and dangerous. He should be more careful next time.
However, his physical strength and strength did not seem to have changed. It seems like these light blue creatures can only increase a single attribute before 11 points. Obviously, the effect isn't that great after 11 points, "Luo Yuan analyzed in his mind.
"However, to be able to obtain an Attribute Point for free is also an unexpected surprise." He was slightly disappointed, but he quickly calmed down and began to familiarize himself with this relatively mysterious attribute.
He roughly estimated the range of his perception to be about three meters. Within a three-meter radius, nothing would be able to escape his senses as soon as it entered. However, once it exceeded his senses, it would quickly weaken and become like a normal person.
Actually, everyone had a sense of perception. For example, if someone in the crowd kept staring at you, you would suddenly have a sudden impulse and look over. Another example would be if someone was quietly standing behind you. Even if there was no sound, you would still feel uncomfortable, as if there was something behind you. These were all senses, but ordinary people's senses were very weak, so they were often ignored.
Luo Yuan rested for a while and continued his journey. As soon as he reached the national highway near the suburbs, there were slightly more cars. However, they were not private cars, but military heavy trucks that were loaded with all kinds of supplies. Each of these heavy trucks was as tall as a person, and Luo Yuan's off-road vehicle was slightly shaken by the heavy metal.
Luo Yuan turned on the radio. There were very few radio stations available. He searched for a few, but they were all news. As for the entertainment programs, they had long been turned off.
"… The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has called for an emergency military conference regarding the sea monster incident in the East China Sea. All military regions along the coast of the Southeast have entered the first level of combat readiness."
"The National Temporary Wartime Affairs Committee has once again raised the danger level. At the same time, they have also pointed out that this global biological crisis is a huge challenge to the survival of the entire human race. They are once again calling for calm and unity. The Central People's Government will restore social order and social production as soon as possible … "
"Brazil's economic capital, Sao Paulo, has completely collapsed. Millions of people have died while fleeing. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Brazil has requested for the intervention of the world's military powers. It is reported that most of the beasts that have appeared have come from the rapidly expanding Amazon region. Some of the creatures have shown obvious signs of mutation."
"When the Vice President of the European Union, Eros, was on a private plane, it was attacked by birds. The plane crashed in Switzerland. A total of 18 staff members on the plane died."
Luo Yuan listened calmly. He even took out a bottle of mineral water and took a sip. The current situation could not get any worse. Even if the news was unbelievable, Luo Yuan would not feel surprised.
Luo Yuan touched the steering wheel, wondering where he should go.
He had left in a hurry this time. He did not prepare much before he left. He did not even think about where he should go.
Unknowingly, the sky had gradually darkened. It was as if it was covered by clouds. The mineral water on the cup holder was swaying, rippling from time to time. Occasionally, it would make a resonant buzzing sound.
While he was driving, he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of anxiety and panic. He had goosebumps all over his body. His heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest.
The next moment, an ear-piercing air defense alarm broke the silence. Luo Yuan, who had never heard such a sound before, could not find a word to describe it. It seemed to penetrate through every nook and cranny, whether they were strong or weak.
He subconsciously raised his head and looked up. Just one look and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
A huge green human head appeared in the sky.
As it was too far away, he could not tell how big the face was. He also did not know when it had appeared.
The face looked a little blurry and did not seem real. However, he could still tell that it was a man's face. What was even more frightening was that this face was slowly changing its expression. Sometimes it was angry, sometimes it was laughing, sometimes it was happy, and sometimes it was sad.
A buzzing sound gradually came from afar, and then it became louder and louder. It was faint at the beginning, but now it was earth-shattering, like a great bell. It was as if this was the only sound left in the world, and even the air defense alarm was suppressed.
The huge sound waves made his blood tremble involuntarily. After a while, he felt a little dizzy and nauseous.
The face was getting bigger and bigger, but it was also quickly becoming blurry. He gradually realized that it was not a single creature, but a formation of countless green dots.
Luo Yuan knew that there were many creatures in the natural world that had similar behaviors in order to scare their enemies. For example, a large number of fishes would gather together to disguise themselves as a big fish. Some strange moths would gather together to form a strange pattern.
As the top of the natural food chain, humans had an overwhelming advantage over other creatures, which naturally attracted many creatures to imitate them.
At that moment, a heavy truck in front of him suddenly crashed into the guardrail, and the body of the truck flipped to the ground, making a loud noise. The heavy truck, which contained a terrifying amount of kinetic energy, rubbed against the cement floor violently, creating a one-meter-high long spark. Seeing this, Luo Yuan suddenly realized something.
No matter what it was, he could not stay there, or else he would be dead.
He quickly turned the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator, driving back. The car was spewing thick black smoke, like a wild bull running on the road.
He looked back and saw that the face seemed to have grown bigger. It was moving at an extremely fast speed. Even if Luo Yuan drove like crazy, there was no sign of it being left behind.
With an anxious look on his face, he glanced to his left and right before rushing toward a nearby alley.
The security guards were already hiding in the building, and the electric door was closed. Luo Yuan made up his mind, but he had no intention of stopping.
"Bang!" The electric door was smashed open by him.
The off-road vehicle rushed all the way until it stopped in front of the registration building.
He could not care less about his luggage now. He just grabbed a knife and jumped out of the car.
The glass door of the registration building was locked from the inside. More than 20 staff members stood in front of the hall, looking outside in panic. When they saw someone running towards them, they immediately became alert.
One of the staff members suddenly looked happy. She quickly said something to the security guards, and the door opened quickly.
Luo Yuan was relieved, and quickly walked into the hall.
"Xiao Luo, why are you here?" a young woman in a light gray office lady asked in disbelief.
Luo Yuan was slightly stunned, and turned to look at her. He was a little surprised. "Sister Huang, aren't you a police officer in Gaotang? Why are you working here?"
It was Huang Jiahui. They had met when they had been looking for Chen Weiqiang in Gaotang, but they had not been in contact since then.
"My family was against me becoming a police officer, and I was traumatized by that near-death experience. Is that why I resigned?" Huang Jiahui laughed at herself. "But no one comes to apply for registration anymore, so it's pretty quiet here. Maybe I'll have to move to another department soon. "
Although Huang Jiahui had said it lightly, Luo Yuan knew that if she did not have a certain background, she would not have moved to another department so easily.
"You two are catching up. Comrade, you just came back from outside. Do you know what the human faces outside are?" a middle-aged man, who seemed to be the leader, asked anxiously.
"Xiao Luo, this is Director Sun," Huang Jiahui quickly introduced.
"Let's talk about it later," Luo Yuan quickly stopped as he felt the noise outside getting louder.
Director Sun's face suddenly turned pale.
Luo Yuan walked to the glass door and put his hand on it. His hand was numb, and the glass door was vibrating at a high frequency. The situation was worse than he had expected. He turned to Huang Jiahui and said, "It's not safe here, the glass door will break soon."
"Comrade, don't you think you're exaggerating? This is a bulletproof glass door, how could it break?" Director Sun interrupted.
As soon as he finished speaking, a giant green insect landed on the steps like lightning.
Director Sun was shocked and quickly took a step back.
This shuttle-shaped insect was covered with a smooth exoskeleton, and its two pairs of hind legs were sharp like four thin blades. All the joints of its front legs were tucked into its chest, but from Luo Yuan's point of view, it looked even more dangerous.
The one-meter-long insect was like God's masterpiece, full of strange beauty. He could not imagine how scary it would be when it moved.
At this time, it was strolling elegantly and casually on the steps, its crystal-clear compound eyes reflecting the panicked crowd. It was like a gentleman about to dine, sizing up the delicacies on the plate unhurriedly.
From time to time, insects would fall from the sky and land on the steps. Not long after, the entire staircase was filled with densely packed insects.
The buzzing outside got louder and louder, and the glass door began to shake slightly. It became more and more violent, and the whole glass door was making a cracking sound. Suddenly, it made a light clicking sound, and a thin white mark appeared on the glass door. Then, more and more white marks appeared, like a spider web, spreading around.
"Ah! Help! "
"Run!"
It was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Driven by fear, the crowd was in chaos and ran for their lives.
"Xiao Luo, save me!" Huang Jiahui screamed in fear.
"Run with me!" Luo Yuan shouted. He did not dare to hold Huang Jiahui's hand, as he had learned his lesson the last time she had dragged him along.
Huang Jiahui hurriedly followed. Apart from her, Director Sun and the other four people also followed.
"Where's the sealed room?" Luo Yuan shouted as he ran.
"I don't know." Huang Jiahui shook her head anxiously. She had just started working there, so she was not familiar with the place. Coupled with the fear in her heart, she could not remember clearly.
"There's a small meeting room on the fourth floor," a pretty girl said.
Seeing Luo Yuan running towards the stairs, Director Sun reminded him, "Why don't we take the elevator? We always have electricity here."
"It's too late. There are too many uncertainties in the elevator, and I'm sure a lot of people will want to take the elevator. It'll just delay us even more," Luo Yuan explained.
Director Sun thought about it and agreed. With so many people squeezing into two elevators, they might not even be able to close the door.
Suddenly, the sound of glass breaking came from outside, followed by the sound of gunshots and screams of the crowd.
Luo Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He quickly ran towards the stairs and reached the first floor in a few strides. He had purposely slowed down, as the others would not have been able to keep up with him.
Screams and cries for help came from outside. It was as if they were being chased to the fourth floor.
Director Sun was panting. Years of alcohol and women had drained his body. Usually, he would be out of breath after taking a few more steps, let alone running up the stairs. He had only run two floors, but he was already lagging far behind.
"Director Sun, let me help you," a young man said regretfully. A young man looked back and immediately stopped. He held onto Director Sun and said with a face full of regret.
"Good, good! Xiao Shen, you're a good man. I didn't misjudge you. "Director Sun patted him on the shoulder and panted.
The young man named Little Shen was immediately overjoyed. He pulled Director Sun up with all his might.
Suddenly, a window on the third floor shattered. Countless glass shards slid down the stairs like raindrops.
Director Sun stepped on the sliding glass and fell on his butt. The next moment, he bounced up as if he had been electrocuted. His butt was covered in glass shards, which were already stained with blood.
"Are you okay, Director Sun?" Xiao Shen wanted to laugh, but he forced himself to hold it back. He looked like he had just eaten shit.
Director Sun waved his hand in pain. "This window had to break now of all times. Help me pull out the glass shards first. It hurts so much."
Xiao Shen pulled out a few bigger shards. Director Sun cried out in pain, "Director Sun, let's go first. We'll deal with the other shards later."
Xiao Shen looked at the broken window worriedly, afraid that an insect would jump out. He was afraid that Director Sun would be unhappy, so he explained, "There's no medicine here, and time is tight. I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with it properly."
"Alright!" Director Sun also knew that it was not the right time. He remembered that the others had already run far away. He became nervous. "Let's go."
At this moment, no one noticed that a giant beetle had silently crawled in through the window and landed lightly on the ground.
