The giant lizard took a few steps back and let out a low growl.
Even Luo Yuan was a little scared. King Kong had given it a huge sense of oppression. Even a green level creature could not compare to it. To be cautious, Luo Yuan took a look at King Kong's loyalty. He was relieved to find that there was not much change.
After a while, King Kong came back to its senses. It tried to walk and jump slowly. At first, it was a little shaky, like a baby learning how to walk for the first time. But soon, its movements became more stable, and its speed became faster …
When Luo Yuan walked over, expressionless, King Kong immediately stopped. It shrunk its neck and stared at the ground like a child who had done something wrong. Its huge and fierce body gave off a strong sense of contrast.
Luo Yuan ignored it and walked to the carcass that was almost 10 meters in diameter.
Even without identification, Luo Yuan knew that it was a green level mutated insect. Creatures of this level were extremely precious. Putting aside the exoskeleton and some other materials, its flesh and blood that were full of vitality were enough to make him drool.
Ever since he had been seriously injured, the energy accumulation point in his heart had basically been used up. Although he had replenished some later, the effect of the low-level flesh was very limited. Until now, it was still the size of a sesame seed, which was very different from the size of a green bean when he was at full strength.
Perhaps when he was healthy, the energy accumulation point could not do much other than make him more resistant to hunger. However, when he was seriously injured, it could save his life.
The green level mutated insect was in a miserable state. Its exoskeleton was almost completely shattered. Its chest and abdomen were all shriveled, and its colorful internal organs were all over the ground. It looked very disgusting.
However, Luo Yuan did not care. In his eyes, there were only two kinds of mutated carcasses. One was edible without poison, and the other was poisonous and inedible.
Moreover, apart from the disgusting internal organs, it was different from what many people thought. In fact, insects did not lack muscles. Most of them were concentrated in the chest, such as the circular muscles of the chest. It was about 8 meters by 6 meters, and even the smallest muscle fiber was as thick as a thigh. It looked tough and elastic.
Luo Yuan estimated that the total weight of the muscle was no less than a few tons.
King Kong realized that Luo Yuan did not care about it at all, so it sneaked away. After a while, it became excited and started running around happily. Its strange howls echoed in the empty wasteland from time to time.
Luo Yuan took a quick look at it and focused on the huge mutated insect. Luckily, King Kong had broken all the insect's bones, which saved him a lot of trouble. He lifted the broken bones and started to cut the muscles of the mutated insect.
Of course, it was impossible for him to pack up this meat that weighed several tons and take it away. This kind of meat that was rich in active energy could easily go bad, especially in this hot weather. Even if he smoked it, it could not be stored for long.
In the end, Luo Yuan only cut about 300 kilograms of meat before he stopped. Of course, the rest of the meat would not go to waste. Not long after he left with the meat, the giant lizard walked over to the carcass, sniffed it, and started munching on it.
Compared to the past when they smelled green grade food, the evolved Giant Lizards were much gentler when they ate. Obviously, green grade food was not as attractive to them as before.
…
Initially, Luo Yuan had planned to continue his journey after his meal, but the unexpected incident had delayed his journey.
Large amounts of ingredients needed to be processed in time, or else they would go bad easily. Huang Jiahui and the others wanted to help, but Luo Yuan forced them to rest when he saw their tired faces.
Of course, Luo Yuan did not have such tender feelings for the men. Zhang Wu, Yang Zhiqing, and Yan Mengjun were ordered around by Luo Yuan.
This place used to be a safe zone. The local organization had cut down quite a lot of withered grass. As long as the grass was pushed aside, one could see that the withered grass was piled up tightly. In addition, there had not been much rain recently, so the withered grass was very dry and easy to burn!
However, 300 kilograms of meat was not a small amount. It was already noon when all of it was smoked.
A rich and tempting aroma filled the air. Watching Luo Yuan put the dark red and glossy jerky into his backpack, sometimes even taking a bite out of it. Zhang Wu and the rest gulped, but they could do nothing but stare at him.
Of course, it was not that he was stingy. It was just that the meat smelled good, but it was extremely tough, like it was made of rubber. No matter how hard they tried, they could not bite through it. After all, it was the muscle of a high-level creature, not the relatively weak internal organs. For them, who were not evolved humans, there was nothing they could do.
In the end, they could only choose a compromise. They used Luo Yuan's knife to cut up a piece of meat jerky and put it into the pot to cook a pot of meat soup.
The meat was already heavy, but after shrinking, it became even denser. 300 kilograms of meat jerky only took two backpacks to fill. Luo Yuan zipped it up and put it aside. When the meat soup was cooked, he woke Huang Jiahui and the others up.
After everyone had a bowl of meat soup, they continued their journey.
At 1 pm, the rumbling sound of a train could be heard coming from the underground. It was the first time the train had returned, and it was almost a day later than Luo Yuan had expected. Obviously, it was not a smooth journey.
His heart was heavy. This meant that the migration of the people of Desert City would be greatly delayed. It was undoubtedly bad news when an earthquake could break out at any time.
To make matters worse, the transportation of the resources had not been completed. According to Mayor Song's plan, the train would have to make another round of transportation, which would delay even more precious time.
Luo Yuan could not judge, nor did he have the right to say which was more important: resources or human lives. Countless people had already died trying to search for precious equipment and machines in the fallen areas. Even now, there were still countless search teams going deep into the dangerous areas to search for them.
At night, a beautiful aurora appeared in the sky. It was like a coquettish ribbon swaying in the distance, unpredictable.
This was the third time he had seen an aurora. It was a sign of disaster, the noose of the Grim Reaper. Whether it was the volcanic eruption on the highway in Hedong City or the lightning storm in the Kunlun Mountains, it had left a deep and painful memory for Luo Yuan.
"Is there going to be an earthquake?" Wang Shishi whispered anxiously.
Luo Yuan was silent for a while before he said, "I don't know, but we will be fine."
Everyone was silent.
