Luo Yuan did not care about Huang Jiahui's stare. He was completely immersed in the changes in his body. He clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles made cracking sounds. He felt like his whole body was filled with a strong sense of power. His muscles contained a strong explosive force, and his body seemed to have become lighter. He believed that his current speed was definitely beyond imagination.
Indeed, human attributes complemented each other. Just like the short board effect, the highest level was always determined by the shortest board.
"Xiao Luo, are you alright?" Huang Jiahui asked, looking at Luo Yuan strangely.
"I'm fine. I just wanted to say that I've never felt so good before," Luo Yuan said seriously, trying hard not to laugh out loud.
However, he was not in a hurry to add the five skill points to his knife skills.
After adding one point to his Strength, his strength had increased tremendously. It was enough for him to deal with the green beetles, so he was not in a hurry. The lower the level of a skill, the easier it was to improve. Since his knife skills were not strong yet, he could slowly improve them through practice. He decided to add them when his knife skills were at level 15. He was looking forward to seeing how his knife skills would change when he reached level 20.
"Sister Huang, can you ask them to come down? I'll check if there are any more green beetles," Luo Yuan said calmly.
"Okay!" Huang Jiahui agreed without hesitation. After the previous battle, she was quite confident that even if she had to face the green beetle, she would be able to kill it quickly.
She checked her gun, reloaded a few more bullets, and walked up to the third floor.
As soon as Huang Jiahui left, Luo Yuan took a deep breath and sprinted forward. The wind was blowing against his face, making his face tremble. The scenery around him passed him quickly. In a few seconds, he had reached the end of the corridor.
He looked back at the distance he had run, panting. He estimated that he was about 40 to 50 meters away.
If he ran 100 meters at his current speed, it would only take him about 7 to 8 seconds. That was the speed of 12 points of Dexterity. However, he also felt that he had used up a lot of energy. He was already out of breath after running for such a short distance. It seemed that his 11 points of Stamina would not be able to support him for long.
It was like increasing the power of a machine, but the electricity supply was insufficient. It would not take long for the machine to go on strike.
However, it was not a big problem. Many battles didn't last more than a few seconds before life and death was decided. After all, this wasn't a boxing match, where the lethality was limited. Rounds after rounds were needed, and even after a few minutes or more, it would still be difficult for the opponent to fall.
The cold weapon he used, once hit, would result in a heavy injury if it was light, and death if it was heavy. Life and death could be decided in an instant.
It was like a cold weapon duel in novels, where the fight would last for hours or even days and nights. But in reality, it was like a fantasy.
At the end of the corridor was a broken window. His heart skipped a beat, and he looked out of the window. The sky was filled with flying green beetles. It was a sight that made his scalp go numb. However, compared to before, they were much more sparse. However, this did not prove anything. It was more likely that most of the green beetles had already landed in the city.
Not long after, Cao Qianqian, Zhao Tianming, and the others also came over. When they saw the scene outside, their faces turned pale.
"Ningning!" Huang Jiahui murmured, then started to make a call.
This time, the call went through quickly. She picked up the phone and said excitedly, "Ningning, how are you? Don't be afraid … Okay, be a good girl and don't open the door … I'll be right there! "
She hung up the phone and covered her mouth, tears rolling down her face.
When the others saw that the call went through, they also started to make calls. However, only Cao Qianqian managed to get through to her parents. Zhao Tianming and Zhang Yun did not get through. Zhang Yunchen could not bear the psychological pressure. She squatted down and started to cry.
Luo Yuan looked at the scene quietly. He felt a little sad. He turned to Huang Jiahui and asked, "Is your daughter okay?"
Huang Jiahui shook her head anxiously. "The beetles are hitting the door. She's scared. I have to go back now!"
"Are you going to die?" Luo Yuan looked outside and thought for a while. "Forget it, I'll go with you."
If he had not leveled up, he would not have taken such a risk. He was not a saint, let alone a superman. He could only help as much as he could. If it was too dangerous, he would not dare to do it. However, now that his strength had increased, three or four green beetles were not a threat to him. He could barely protect himself.
Huang Jiahui looked up and said excitedly, "Xiao Luo, I really don't know how to thank you. I'm very touched that you're saying this, but I can't let you go with me. "
"There are no public buses now. Do you want to walk back? Why don't you take my car?" Luo Yuan said.
Huang Jiahui was so touched that she could not speak.
"Brother Luo, can you bring me along?" Cao Qianqian asked carefully. She looked at Luo Yuan with hope.
"If it's on the way, I can bring you along. Where do you live?" Luo Yuan asked hesitantly.
"Yuehu Garden near Green Vine Road!" Cao Qianqian said nervously.
Yuehu Garden was not far from the Jingyue district, but it was not on the way either. It was about three to four miles away. Forget it, he would help her to the end.
"Alright, follow me!"
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Cao Qianqian said incoherently. She was so happy that she cried.
Zhao Tianming and Zhang Yun didn't say anything. The green beetles had basically been cleaned up. Compared to the green beetles flying everywhere outside, this place seemed particularly safe. Instead of risking their lives, it was better to stay here and wait for rescue.
"Take care, you two. We're leaving now," Luo Yuan said to the two of them.
"Brother Luo, take care of yourselves too!" Zhao Tianming said, a trace of pity flashing across his face.
Zhang Yun held Cao Qianqian's hand and tried to talk her out of it, but Cao Qianqian did not budge.
Luo Yuan smiled and did not say anything. Everyone had to be responsible for their own choices. It was the same for them, and it was the same for him. It was hard to predict whether it would be a blessing or a curse.
The three of them left quickly. There were blood stains and broken limbs everywhere on the first floor. Apparently, most of them had not escaped when they were running for their lives. Luo Yuan killed another four green beetles along the way and walked out of the broken glass door.
There were a few green beetles lying on the ground far away. They did not move when they saw Luo Yuan and the others. Apparently, they had lost their desire to attack after eating. Luo Yuan took a look at them and walked back to his car.
The car's glass window was broken. Luo Yuan opened the door and swept the glass off. He sat in the driver's seat and started the car.
Huang Jiahui and Zhang Yun got in the car quickly. Luo Yuan waited for them to sit down and the car sped towards the gate like an arrow leaving a bow.
A few green beetles flew up in shock, circled in the air for a while, and then landed on the ground again.
Donghu City had turned into a purgatory. Countless pieces of glass, big and small, were scattered all over the road, reflecting the sunlight.
There was no one on the street. A few green beetles were gathered together, chewing on a corpse. Blood flowed down their mouthparts as they chewed.
In the distance, there were faint sounds of gunshots that were sometimes dense and sometimes sparse, mixed with some shrill screams.
The gunshots did not sound like handguns, but military rifles. It seemed like the army stationed in Donghu City had started their encirclement.
Luo Yuan's car sped along the road, startling countless green beetles. A few of them tried to attack, but they were either hit by the car or shot by Huang Jiahui.
The sound of the car attracted the attention of the survivors nearby. Heads popped out of windows to look at them, and a few of them shouted for help.
Luo Yuan tried his best not to look at their panicked and pleading eyes. He could not do anything. The rich would help the world, while the poor would take care of themselves. He could only protect himself now. The car drove away without hesitation, and the desperate curses of the people drifted from behind.
Huang Jiahui checked her gun and touched her pocket. Her hand paused and she said worriedly, "There are only two bullets left."
Luo Yuan's expression changed. He had relied on Huang Jiahui's shooting skills to get here so smoothly. He had not expected her to run out of bullets.
"Use them sparingly. Don't shoot unless it's a critical moment," Luo Yuan said after some thought.
"What if the green beetles come?" Huang Jiahui asked.
"I'll deal with them," Luo Yuan said, gritting his teeth. Although it was a little troublesome to get in and out of the car, Huang Jiahui could still provide support as long as she had bullets.
As the car turned the corner, a series of gunshots came from behind. A few bullets hit the building next to them, splashing dust everywhere.
His heart skipped a beat and he quickly stepped on the brake.
"Are they soldiers from the army?" Huang Jiahui asked, looking back.
A soldier ran over with a rifle in his hand and said seriously, "Everyone get out of the car. This car is being requisitioned."
"Why? Is this our car? "Huang Jiahui asked, looking upset.
"This is a special military order. I hope you can cooperate," the soldier said coldly, holding the rifle in his hand.
Luo Yuan opened the door and walked over with a knife in his hand. "I've never heard of any military order, and I don't want to. This is my car. Why should I give it to you? "
The soldier was stunned. He had not expected anyone to disobey a military order. He looked angry.
"What's going on?" Seeing that there was a dispute here, a dark-skinned and very capable officer angrily ran over and reprimanded the soldier, "Don't you know that our brothers are in danger?"
"They don't agree!" the soldier said angrily.
"Why don't you agree?" Luo Yuan asked coldly as he turned around and stared at Luo Yuan.
The soldier narrowed his eyes and said, "So you're going to disobey the order? This is wartime!"
"Are you threatening me? Do you believe that if you touch the gun, you will die without a burial place? "Luo Yuan threatened them with a cold look in his eyes.
He was not a pushover. If they really pissed him off, he wouldn't mind going crazy.
"You'll be shot to death too," the soldier said. His teeth were clenched tightly, and his expression was a little ugly.
He did not dare to act rashly. Luo Yuan was too calm. The fear that ordinary people had for soldiers was not on his face. Moreover, at this time, he was still running around on the streets with two women. If he was not a lunatic, then he must be one of those experts.
"Are you an evolved person?" the platoon leader asked after a moment of hesitation.
Luo Yuan smiled noncommittally.
The other party was afraid of hurting the innocent, but so was he. For a moment, he didn't know how to deal with the situation. He looked at the rifles and bullets in their hands and had an idea. "I have a suggestion. Do you want to hear it?"
Before he could agree, Luo Yuan continued, "You can have the car, but I need a rifle and some bullets."
"You're not soldiers. This is against the rules!" The soldier said after a moment of hesitation.
"That was the rule in the past. It's no longer appropriate. Without a gun, you're just waiting for death. Your soldiers are dying, but you're still wasting time here, "Luo Yuan said." This is a fair deal. Without a car, we need to protect ourselves. "
"Fine!" The soldier said after a moment of hesitation.
"Soldier!" the soldier said angrily. He turned around and stared at Luo Yuan.
"Stop talking. Go get a rifle and 300 bullets for him. This is an order."
"Yes, sir!" the soldier shouted and ran back to the team angrily.
After a while, he ran back. The platoon leader took a rifle and a bag of bullets and passed them to Luo Yuan. He said in a low voice, "I hope you don't misfire."
"Thank you for reminding me!" Luo Yuan said with a smile. "Also, please don't do anything that will cause a misunderstanding."
Luo Yuan saw a green beetle crawling towards him from the corner of the street. It disappeared in a flash. The two soldiers were shocked and quickly raised their rifles to look for Luo Yuan.
When they saw Luo Yuan, the green beetle had been cut in half. With a shake of the blade, the insect's bodily fluids slid down the blade, and soon, it was bright enough to reflect one's reflection. Luo Yuan looked at the two soldiers who had raised their rifles and aimed at him. He walked over slowly and smiled coldly. "I hope you don't misfire."
Luo Yuan walked to the car and asked Huang Jiahui and Cao Qianqian to get out with their luggage. Then he left with the two women.
The two soldiers put down their rifles and spat on the ground when they saw the three of them disappear into the street.
"You let them go just like that?" the soldier said angrily.
"What else can we do if we don't let them go? Carry our brothers to the car and go to the military hospital. I hope we can save some of them. "
