Along the way, Luo Yuan saw groups of three to five people walking in the wild.
This was the border of the Reconstruction Area. Although the area was cleaned regularly to eliminate possible dangers, there were still some fish that slipped through the net. The existence of these people, to a certain extent, contained the potential threat. Therefore, the attitude of the Reconstruction Area was neither encouraging nor prohibiting them. Basically, they allowed them to do whatever they wanted.
When Luo Yuan walked alone, many people approached him, wanting to form a team, but Luo Yuan rejected them with a smile.
These people were basically ordinary people. Most of them were just capturing low-level small mutated beasts to improve their lives. Of course, Luo Yuan was not interested in them. Besides, he was not there to hunt that day.
After walking for about five to six kilometers, the number of people started to decrease. Luo Yuan walked faster and faster.
This place was originally a desert, but the air was not dry. The loose sand was covered with sparse yellow leaves, exuding a faint smell of pesticides. Apparently, they had been sprayed with herbicide recently.
However, Luo Yuan could see that new shoots were emerging from the sand. The tiny dewdrops on them were trembling slightly as they welcomed the morning sun and extended their tender branches and leaves. It was destined to be a long war between humans and nature, and it would probably last for a very long time.
Below the lighthouse in the distance, there was a pile of insect carcasses. Some of the insects were not completely dead yet. Their charred bodies were struggling and crawling, trying to leave the graveyard of the insects. The area within a few kilometers was covered with them.
Luo Yuan's heavy military boots stepped on the bodies of the insects. Colorful liquid burst out. He frowned in disgust and left the area.
Suddenly, gunshots were heard from afar. It sounded like there was more than one gun.
"You coward, how dare you become a deserter. Put down your gun and come back to the army with me. Before the Disciplinary Committee finds out, come back with me." An angry voice floated from afar.
"Let me go! I have a kid at home. Pretend you didn't see me, please." The person who spoke was so scared that his voice was trembling.
"You know what happens to deserters. You'll be shot. Don't be stubborn. Come back with me and I'll pretend nothing happened." The person who tried to persuade him was a little angry. Then, he advised him earnestly, "You also know that no deserter has a good ending these days. Other than going to the wilderness to be eaten by wild beasts, you have nowhere else to run."
"Monitor, I know you mean well. You have always taken good care of me, but if you go, you will die in vain. It's better to run away. You should run away too. To tell you the truth, this time Desert City will not be able to hold them off. Are you willing to die in vain?" the man advised.
Luo Yuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the man's words. Was the situation so serious that even the garrison outside the city could not stop them? How was that possible? Even if the cannons were fired, they would not be able to break through such a strong defense and sturdy fortress in a short period of time.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. After a long while, the person who tried to persuade him said loudly.
"What the f * ck are you talking about? I don't even know. Where did you get the news?"
"You don't have to worry about that. I overheard it by accident. This place will soon be affected by the bug tide. Even if you don't believe me, you can see that the recent increase in ammunition and fuel has filled up the warehouse. There will be a war soon. Listen to my advice, everyone, run!"
"It's not like this place has not experienced the insects before. When has it ever been able to break through our defense? Stop talking nonsense. I only have one question. Are you coming with me or not?" the squad leader suppressed his anger and growled with a hint of murderous intent.
"What if it's a super insect wave?" The man seemed to have sensed the determination in the squad leader's voice, so he still tried to persuade him.
"Is this your decision?" The squad leader said in a low voice, "Stop talking nonsense and stop using excuses. It's useless. Either you come with me or you die. "
There was a moment of silence. After a long while, a gunshot was heard.
Luo Yuan listened to the gunshot from afar. He was deep in thought and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. Was what the deserter had said true?
If it was really a insect wave, then it would be terrible. The insect wave was the most terrifying kind of beast wave. Not only did it move extremely fast, but it was also very difficult to defend because most of them flew in the air. Once they got close to the defense line, Desert City would definitely be affected. If it was a super insect wave, then it would be a nightmare.
A trace of haze flashed in his heart, and he gradually quickened his pace.
When he passed by the defense line, he took a closer look. A large number of transport trucks were coming in and out from time to time, stirring up a cloud of dust on the road. Even a few giant barrels on the fortress were constantly being adjusted. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but the defense line actually gave off a tense atmosphere.
Luo Yuan looked away. After showing his pass at the checkpoint, Luo Yuan walked out of the defense line and walked towards the valley that was 10 kilometers away.
Although it was called a valley, it was actually a Gobi desert made up of dozens of giant rocks.
Each of these giant rocks was hundreds of meters high, looking like a mountain from afar. As the apocalypse came, a large number of plants grew in the rocks. From afar, the original color of the rocks could no longer be seen. It was full of exuberant green.
The giant lizard and King Kong were placed here. Such dangerous giant beasts would naturally not be placed in the safety zone, so the Gobi desert had become the territory of these two giant beasts.
Luo Yuan took out a mobile phone and turned on the satellite positioning system in his hand. Two green dots were side by side next to each other. Obviously, they were not separated. Before the giant lizard and King Kong were placed here, they had been implanted with a chip, so they could be found no matter where they were.
The mobile phone was a gift after the chip was implanted. Compared to the fashionable mobile phones before the apocalypse, the mobile phone now seemed a little heavy and clumsy. The standard touch screen had disappeared and was replaced by a retro number button. It felt like the era of Nokia seven or eight years ago. The interruption of global trade and the fall of most of the industrial areas had obviously caused some technology to regress and decline.
Luo Yuan looked at the distance and could not help but let out a sigh of relief. The two giant beasts were not far away.
This was the first time he had been here since the relocation.
He could not help but feel a little anxious. Seeing that he was far away from the defense line, he finally started to run.
The strong wind blew against his face, but with the ability of his clothes to balance the airflow, it turned into a gentle breeze. Ever since he had arrived at the reconstruction area, this was the first time he had run so fast. Unlike the small courtyard in the villa, there were no worries or obstacles here.
He ran faster and faster, and the scenery around him quickly passed by.
These few days, his body continued to transform, and with a large amount of food, his Strength had finally broken through to 15 points.
Every time he stepped on the ground, the ground seemed to explode, creating a small pit. The strong force made his speed even faster than before. It was as if he was running as fast as lightning. His body was getting more and more light, and every step took him eight to nine meters away. He had to lower his body to maintain his balance so that he would not be blown away by the wind.
Not long after, he arrived at the bottom of the Gobi desert.
