On the way back, a large number of flies and mosquitoes began to appear in front of them. At first, there were only a few of them, but the further they went, the denser they became. After walking for more than 10 kilometers, it was almost difficult to move forward. Countless flies and mosquitoes filled the entire space. They floated around like a thick fog, sometimes gathering and sometimes dispersing.
The giant lizard seemed to be a little annoyed and stopped moving forward. It had to continue moving forward after Luo Yuan repeatedly urged it.
The air was filled with the stench of rotting corpses. The ground had become a little bumpy, and the surface was full of potholes. It felt like they had suddenly entered the surface of the moon.
There were mutated insects and human corpses everywhere on the ground. It was chilling to see corpses everywhere.
The flesh and blood of the corpses had been devoured by the scavengers, leaving only the cold bones behind.
Luo Yuan asked the giant lizard to slow down and look into the distance. He did not notice it when he was high up in the sky. Now that he was riding on the giant lizard, he realized that the battlefield was actually not far from Desert City.
Undoubtedly, this was only a small and insignificant battlefield, but the area was extremely large. Luo Yuan walked around the battlefield and realized that the battlefield had a radius of 10 kilometers.
A large number of broken and twisted tanks and anti-aircraft guns were thrown on the battlefield like scrap metal. A few artillery shells that had not been fired in time were rolling on the side, and there were insects crawling on them from time to time. Even though he was watching from afar, Luo Yuan could feel the tragic atmosphere of the war.
When Luo Yuan passed by a fortress, this sturdy fortification that could completely withstand the bombardment of heavy artillery had a collapsed corner. He deliberately flew into the fortress to check the situation. Passing through the gap of the twisted steel bars, he saw countless corpses lying on the ground. It was a mess inside.
There were a few crisscrossed scratches on the cement ground, like ravines. The whole ground was divided into a few parts, but the culprit was nowhere to be found.
… …
The sky gradually turned dark. Yan Mengjun looked at the time repeatedly, and a trace of anxiety appeared on his face.
It was almost five o 'clock, and the sky would be dark in at most an hour.
The wilderness at night was dangerous. It used to be a desert, and the temperature difference between day and night was huge. Therefore, many creatures only came out at night. Of course, now that the climate had changed drastically, the desert had turned into a grassland. However, the habits of these creatures were still preserved.
If it was in the past, with his Level 3 ability, he would not be in any danger. This place was close to Desert City and was within the human defense line. The mutated creatures within the territory had been cleaned countless times. Even an ordinary person would be able to break through if they were brave enough.
However, now that this place had fallen, the original safe zone was no longer safe. After the last insect tide, who knew how many powerful mutated insects were still hiding in the endless grass, eyeing them covetously.
At first, he had Luo Yuan to rely on, but Luo Yuan had not returned for a long time. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, he became nervous.
Seeing his wife's pale face, he forced a smile and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm here."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. We have so many people here. We can guarantee your safety," Zhang Wu comforted her.
"Look at them, they seem to be fine!" Yang Zhiqing was one of the calmer ones in the crowd. He asked curiously.
Perhaps it was because there were women on one side, but the group was clearly divided into two groups. However, compared to these people who were tense, a group of women on the other side were chatting casually.
"I'll go and ask!" Yan Mengjun glanced at them and said. As a former real estate agent, he naturally wasn't as reserved as ordinary people in unfamiliar places. As he spoke, he walked over with Gu Meiyan. "Excuse me, do you know when Mr. Luo will be back?"
"He should be back soon!" Huang Jiahui looked at the time and said with a smile. After going through so many things, she was already used to this kind of worry. "Please wait for a while!"
"It's no trouble, no trouble at all. I'm just a little worried. It's getting late, and it might be dangerous!" Yan Mengjun quickly explained. These people were Mr. Luo's people. If they misunderstood that he was impatient, it would be troublesome.
"Thank you for reminding us, we will pay attention to this," Huang Jiahui said politely. Huang Jiahui said politely, but in her heart, she did not care. Not to mention Wang Shishi's amazing strength, even she was not afraid of ordinary mutated creatures. She had been through a lot, so she was not nervous about the wilderness outside the Desert City.
Yan Mengjun felt helpless. He turned around and returned to the original team with his wife. He shook his head at Zhang Wu and the others.
Time ticked by, and the sky was about to darken. The dense grassland gradually began to move. A large number of mounds rose from the grassland from time to time, and ferocious-looking mutated creatures came out from them.
This area had only been occupied for less than a month, but the number and strength of the mutated creatures had changed dramatically. Looking from afar, there were many level two and three mutated creatures.
However, gradually, these creatures began to become restless. They seemed to feel the uneasiness in the air, and their behavior became a little strange. Some of them looked around carefully, some of them did not know what to do, and some of them directly went back into the ground.
"What's going on?" Yan Mengjun looked confused. "What happened?"
"Could it be another earthquake?" Zhang Wu guessed.
"It seems like there is an earthquake!" Yang Zhiqing felt a faint tremor.
"Look, what is that?" Gu Meiyan suddenly found something and quickly pulled Yan Mengjun who was next to her. She was shocked.
They saw two faint dots in the distance. As time passed, the two dots became clearer and bigger. At the same time, the ground began to tremble slightly.
As their vision became clearer, everyone's faces gradually turned pale. They saw two indescribably terrifying giant beasts approaching them at an extremely fast speed, accompanied by an increasingly strong tremor.
At first glance, the two giant beasts were still two to three kilometers away, but in just ten seconds, they were already right in front of them. In the face of such giant beasts, humans were so insignificant. Just the strong tremors from running alone had already made them unable to stand. Yan Mengjun and the others' faces turned pale, and their foreheads were sweating. Although they desperately wanted to escape, their bodies were weak and could not move.
A few mutated beasts that could not escape in time froze on the spot. They were trampled by the giant beasts and exploded into a pile of meat paste.
Compared to Yan Mengjun and the others, who had seen the giant lizard and King Kong for the first time, Huang Jiahui and the others were undoubtedly better behaved. However, they were also shocked. The two giant beasts had not only changed their appearance, but their size had almost doubled. If they had not seen Luo Yuan on their backs, they would have thought that they were in danger.
As the distance between them got closer, the two giant beasts began to slow down when they were about a few hundred meters away.
It was undeniable that Luo Yuan's existence was easily overlooked by the giant beasts. Only then did someone finally notice the human figure on one of the giant beasts. Yan Mengjun and the others could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Their bodies staggered, only to realize that they were close to collapsing.
…
"No, maybe I didn't hear you clearly. Mr. Luo, did you mean to let us sit on the giant beasts?" Yan Mengjun opened his mouth and said with difficulty. As a normal person, this was too crazy. This was a terrifying giant beast that was more than ten meters tall. Even a slight touch from it would seriously injure them.
"Is there a problem? We can't walk more than a thousand kilometers," Luo Yuan said, looking at the group of people with a faint smile.
"No … No!" Yan Mengjun shook his head with a pale face.
"Fei … Very reasonable. I don't have any objections," Zhang Wu said with a stiff expression.
"As long as it doesn't bite," Yang Zhiqing whispered as he secretly glanced at the two giant beasts.
The previous rattan carpet was long gone. While it was still dark, everyone started to look for rattan that could be weaved.
The giant lizard's movements were very uneven. If there was no rattan carpet to hold onto, it would be very easy to fall off. Especially now that the giant lizard was almost ten meters tall, if it fell off at a high speed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Nowadays, there was nothing lacking in the wilderness but vines. These mutated vines were extremely flexible and strong. Even if there were a few thin vines that were as thick as steel wires tangled together, Luo Yuan would not be able to break them.
Of course, the vines needed to weave the rattan carpet were thicker. Each vine was as thick as a child's arm. Not only could they skip the numbing step, but they were also heavier and easier to hold onto.
The people during the apocalypse were not pampered. Even Gu Meiyan, who had not looked well since the appearance of the giant beasts, came over to help.
Yang Zhiqing, who had been inconspicuous like an old farmer, had impressed Luo Yuan.
Perhaps he had weaved a fishing net before, so he was very good at it. Under his guidance, the rattan carpet finally looked like a real rattan carpet. The entire rattan carpet was well-spaced and was strong and durable. Compared to the crude rattan carpet that Luo Yuan and the others used to make, this one was like a work of art.
Because the giant lizard's back was very wide, the rattan carpet was also very large. It was roughly estimated to be more than a hundred square meters. Of course, it was also very heavy. Not to mention the others, even Luo Yuan could not move it. It was at least two tons.
In the end, they had to call King Kong to cover the giant lizard with the huge rattan carpet.
It was a huge project. When everything was done, it was already nine o 'clock at night. However, Luo Yuan did not intend to camp there. It was an active tectonic zone. The crying mutated birds in the clouds and the earthquake observation data in the reconstruction area had already explained everything.
With the help of the hanging vines, everyone climbed onto the giant lizard under Luo Yuan's urging. When everyone was seated, Luo Yuan patted its head. The giant lizard snorted impatiently, spitting out sparks and stood up immediately. If Luo Yuan did not deliberately control the speed of the giant lizard, it would have started running away.
The night was as dark as ink without the moon and stars. Even Luo Yuan could only see the vague outline of the Desert City gradually getting further away.
Looking at the ruins, he thought of the people who were waiting to migrate in the shelter below. His expression was complicated.
...
Along the way, they could see tall electromagnetic towers. However, these electromagnetic towers had been cut off after the fall of the city. Now, they had become the habitat of mutated insects.
When the two giant beasts passed by, countless insects flew away.
The intimidating aura of the two giant beasts made the journey very smooth. None of the mutated creatures dared to provoke them.
At four o 'clock in the morning, a strange city gradually appeared in their sight under the dim light of dawn.
