Such a low-intensity battle did not interest Luo Yuan at all. His attention had been attracted by the strange evolved abilities, and he had unknowingly fallen behind.
A black mutated insect seemed to have sensed an opportunity and quickly flew towards Luo Yuan. The crowd tried to avoid it. One of the evolved humans tried to pull Luo Yuan, but Luo Yuan instinctively moved away and grabbed nothing but air. Instead, he was shaken and staggered a little, unable to dodge in time. The crowd could not help but sigh for the lady when they saw that.
In the time it took for a spark to fly off a flint, a strong gust of wind blew against his face. However, unexpectedly, the black mutated insect fell straight to the ground like a dead object. A shallow pit was formed on the ground, and after twitching a few times, it could no longer move.
The man who had been distracted just now and the evolved human who had saved the woman were standing half a meter away from the mutated insect. They were only one step away from it. It seemed like they had been standing there all along, thinking that they were just lucky to have met a seriously injured mutated insect.
A second later, half of the black insect's head slowly slid off its body. Unfortunately, the crowd had already gone far away, so no one noticed it.
"Just take care of yourself. Don't show off if you're not strong enough. You'll die!" Luo Yuan pulled the woman to the other side of the group and said in a deep voice, "But still, thank you."
Although this kind of battle was child's play, it was impossible for any creature to hide from his Sensory Perception and launch a sneak attack. His Sensory Perception was the most sensitive to moving objects.
Wen Yujie was stunned for a moment and said embarrassedly, "I didn't help you. You saved me instead."
She had a slender figure and looked so thin that she couldn't even stand the wind. Just now, when he pulled her to avoid the falling giant worm, he didn't feel much of her weight. Her almost invisible breasts and her slender figure made her look like an undeveloped girl.
Luo Yuan said sarcastically, "At least you know your place. I didn't expect there to be people like you after the apocalypse. Sacrificing yourself to learn from others is rare even before the apocalypse!"
No matter how slow Wen Yujie was, she could understand the sarcasm in his words. She blushed and said angrily, "I know you're strong, but that's no reason for you to mock me. If everyone was as cold as you are, there would be no hope for the world. Mankind would be extinct!"
Luo Yuan was stunned. He looked at her again and said, "Alright, you're smart. I appreciate your kindness. Follow me later and I'll save your life too."
"Who cares about it!" Wen Yujie said angrily. However, in her heart, she was secretly delighted. Just now, she had already seen the strength of the other party. No, she had not seen it at all. After that, her body was dragged away by a huge force. However, it was also because of this that the other party's strength was so unfathomable.
While they were talking, another mutated insect was easily killed by Luo Yuan. This time, Wen Yujie's eyes were wide open. She could only vaguely see a cold light. She could not even see anything clearly. She did not even know if Luo Yuan had moved his hand or if he had used a knife or something else. She was an evolved human, so her eyesight was much better than that of an ordinary person. Even so, she could only vaguely see, let alone an ordinary person.
Wen Yujie peeked at him from time to time. Finally, she could not hold back her curiosity and asked, "Hey, you're so strong. Why haven't I heard of you?"
Luo Yuan joked, "My name is not Hey, and I didn't even tell you my name. How do you know you've never heard of me?"
"Then what's your name?" Wen Yujie asked, "But I'm sure I'm not that famous. My home was nearby before the apocalypse. I'm one of the first natives here. I'm not bragging, but I don't dare to say that I know all of the 100,000 people in Desert City. But I've seen most of the famous evolved humans," Wen Yujie snorted.
"I didn't expect you to be an indigenous person." Luo Yuan was a little surprised. No wonder the man's face looked like he was from the Western Region. His luck was just too good. It was considered lucky for him to be able to rush here with such a narrow escape. Most people would die on the way. But some people could easily get what they wanted. Reincarnation was really a skill.
"Brother, you haven't told me your name yet."
"You'll know when the time comes. Now shut up!" Luo Yuan looked up at the sky with a gloomy face. Wen Yujie immediately shut her mouth and looked up. Her face suddenly turned pale.
The situation was getting worse. The light above their heads was getting dimmer. The sound of the mutated insects flapping their wings was like the roar of hundreds and thousands of helicopters. More than half of the mutated insects in Desert City had been attracted by the screams of the mutated insects before they died.
Not long after, the mutated insects fell like a rainstorm. They even broke through the barrage and rushed into the crowd. In just a few seconds, there were casualties.
Luo Yuan started to get serious. The Zhanmadao in his hand cut through the air from time to time. Any mutated insects that appeared within a five-meter radius of him were instantly killed and cut in half. It attracted the attention of the people around him.
However, there were more places that he could not take care of, and the number of casualties was increasing.
At that moment, the Lieutenant Colonel finally started to move. He quickly untied his military uniform and tore his shirt apart, folding them aside.
Then, he looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and let out a thunderous roar. The muscles on his body instantly became like the roots of an old tree, ferocious and knotted. The black blood vessels on his body rapidly thickened, and the roots appeared one by one. They were like huge earthworms swimming around under his skin, and an oppressive aura like that of a wild beast rapidly emerged.
Wen Yujie screamed, "Get out of the way! He's going to transform!"
She pulled Luo Yuan and wanted to leave, but Luo Yuan immediately shook her off and said, "What's going on?"
Then, he realized that the people around him had started to step back. They were either excited or in awe.
"He's going to transform. If you get too close, you might accidentally hurt him," Wen Yujie said loudly.
Luo Yuan followed her advice and took a few steps back with the crowd. There was no one within 30 meters of the Lieutenant Colonel.
He watched curiously. The Lieutenant Colonel's transformation had just begun. His body began to expand, and in less than a second, he had grown from 1.9 meters tall to more than three meters tall. He was still growing. The transformation seemed to be extremely painful. His face was ferocious and scary. He suddenly squatted down and roared again, punching the ground with both his hands.
The ground shook slightly under his inhuman strength. The road was made of concrete, but it was no better than tofu. Gravel flew everywhere, and soon, a one-meter-deep hole was formed.
Five seconds later, the transformation finally stopped. He slowly stood up, causing the wind to howl and sand to blur his eyes. Luo Yuan could not help but take a deep breath as he looked at the Lieutenant Colonel's body, which was even bigger than King Kong.
He was almost 14 to 15 meters tall, almost as tall as a five-story building. His skin was as black as metal, and his muscles were like tree roots. Everything about him showed how terrifying and powerful he was.
Such a transformation was too shocking for a normal person. It completely went against the current common sense of physics. Luo Yuan could not imagine how an ordinary person, who was 1.9 meters tall and weighed 80 to 90 kilograms, could transform into a giant that was 14 to 15 meters tall and weighed more than 10 tons.
While Luo Yuan was thinking, the Lieutenant Colonel had already taken action. He took a deep breath and roared. His roar was like a muffled thunder, and the air seemed to ripple. A few mutated insects nearby were hit by his roar and fell to the ground as if they were drunk.
Then, he grabbed an insect in mid-air. The insect, which was about the size of a small car, was crushed in his hand, and its juices splattered everywhere.
The mutated insects had evolved to have basic intelligence. If it was a conspicuous and threatening target, it would immediately become a target. Suddenly, a large number of mutated insects changed their direction and flew towards the Lieutenant Colonel.
Luo Yuan noticed a fatal weakness of the Lieutenant Colonel. His movements were too slow, and his agility was only slightly better than an ordinary person's. He waved his arms in vain, as if he wanted to crush the Lieutenant Colonel again, but he was always half a beat too slow.
A large number of mutated insects rushed towards the Lieutenant Colonel's body. Their front limbs were as sharp as bayonets, stabbing into the Lieutenant Colonel's body. At the same time, their large and sharp mouthparts were chewing on the Lieutenant Colonel's flesh.
Blood flowed like a stream from the wound.
However, the Lieutenant Colonel's body was too big. Although the wounds caused by the mutated insects were terrifying, each of them was as big as a washbasin, and the deepest wound was half a meter deep. Considering the Lieutenant Colonel's size, such wounds only hurt the surface of his body.
These hungry mutated insects were like hungry lunatics. Once the Lieutenant Colonel's flesh was in their mouths, they became even crazier and completely lost their minds. No matter how slow the Lieutenant Colonel was, the Lieutenant Colonel's giant hands crushed the insects one by one and pulled them out of the wound. However, more mutated insects rushed towards the Lieutenant Colonel's body and crazily devoured the Lieutenant Colonel's flesh.
However, this kind of battle could not last long. If it continued, the Lieutenant Colonel would be in danger.
Suddenly, a shocking scene appeared in front of Luo Yuan's eyes. The Lieutenant Colonel's wounds were healing rapidly. In less than a second, the terrible wounds had completely disappeared. There was no trace of the injuries that he had sustained just now.
This kind of healing did not seem like normal self-healing. With his sharp eyesight, he did not notice the normal adhesion of the flesh and muscles. Rather than saying it was self-healing, it was more like the Lieutenant Colonel's body was transferring and replenishing the Lieutenant Colonel's body.
In particular, Luo Yuan noticed that the Lieutenant Colonel's height seemed to be a little shorter than before, which further confirmed his judgment.
As time passed, more and more corpses piled up under the giant's feet, gradually forming a small hill. The mutated insects that were being slaughtered finally realized how terrifying the giant was. In the blink of an eye, they scattered, and the sky lit up again.
The Lieutenant Colonel's height was now three to four meters shorter than before. Luo Yuan's scalp tingled when he thought about the Lieutenant Colonel's flesh being devoured by the mutated insects.
The Lieutenant Colonel looked at the sky from afar. His indifferent face turned solemn. Then, like a leaking balloon, his huge body quickly returned to its original form. Apart from his slightly pale face, he didn't seem to have any signs of weakness on the surface.
When the Lieutenant Colonel put on his clothes, he looked at Luo Yuan and unexpectedly walked towards him. "Can we talk?"
