Luo Yuan tied the bandage on his head again. The feeling of being able to think, hear, and see had returned.
He was thinking quickly. His previous idea of increasing his Intelligence to reduce the risk of his four-dimensional vision was undoubtedly correct. However, it was far from enough. He needed more Heart of Wisdom. The green level Heart of Wisdom was effective for those with Intelligence of 16 points and below. Now that his Intelligence was only 15 points, he could still increase it.
However, it was not easy to find the Tree of Wisdom. Apart from the necessary information, luck was also very important.
Fortunately, the 2% four-dimensional vision was no longer a burden to him. With the help of the bandage, the information from the fourth dimension had almost no effect on him.
He still had time!
Luo Yuan stayed in the cave for another 10 minutes. During this time, the giant beast did not move at all. It seemed like it had given up on the chase. He carefully left the cave and took the risk to pick up the equipment that he had left behind.
He could forget about the energy-absorbing bulletproof suit, but he could not bear to part with the plasma undershirt. Since it could provide a certain amount of energy defense, he could ignore it. More importantly, the bandage on his forehead was made of the same material as the undershirt. If he lost the bandage, he could use the undershirt as a material for the bandage.
The only pity was that the floating sportswear that had been with him since the beginning of the apocalypse had finally come to an end. The blue level sportswear had been torn apart by the branches that were blocking his way during his high-speed run. It looked no better than a beggar's outfit.
Luo Yuan felt that it was a pity. He threw the sportswear where it was. He thought about it and put on the sportswear that had been torn into three-quarter pants. It was not that Luo Yuan was reluctant to put it on, but he was only left with a pair of underwear. It would be awkward if he did not put it on.
He put on his equipment one by one, not daring to stay here for too long. He focused his will and immediately levitated into the air, flying towards where Wang Shishi was waiting. Unexpectedly, Wang Shishi was no longer there. He searched for a long time before he found Wang Shishi in a col.
She was hiding behind a huge rock, trembling in fear. When she saw Luo Yuan, she pursed her lips and almost broke down.
"Alright, alright! It's okay! We'll leave now! "Luo Yuan quickly comforted her.
The Kidney Mountain was not big and they were at the foot of the mountain. It was impossible for Wang Shishi not to have seen the gigantic beast when it appeared. Even Luo Yuan had almost lost his Will, let alone Wang Shishi.
Furthermore, he had been gone for several hours, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive. If it weren't for Wang Shishi's deep affection for him, anyone else would have run away long ago.
"You … you're okay?" Wang Shishi struggled out of his embrace and wiped away her tears. She looked at Luo Yuan from head to toe and asked worriedly.
Not only was Luo Yuan's pants in half, but his jacket was also gone. His bulletproof vest was stained with blood, and his hair was covered in weeds and sand. He looked like a mess. Was this still the Brother Luo who was always confident no matter how dangerous or difficult the situation was?
"What's the matter with you?" Luo Yuan patted his chest and smiled. However, he had not fully recovered yet. His chest hurt and he almost coughed.
"Let's talk on the way. It's not safe here. We have to leave now." Luo Yuan quickly interrupted Wang Shishi when he saw that she wanted to ask more.
Wang Shishi was so scared that her face turned pale. She was so terrified that she forgot what she wanted to say.
...
After that, the two of them hurried on without taking a break. They only stopped when the sky darkened.
This place was already two to three hundred kilometers away from Kidney Mountain. His tense heart could finally relax. He was completely safe now.
The forest was as dark as ink at night. The two of them sat around the campfire and chatted while eating dinner.
"I couldn't see it clearly either. It looked like a dragon, a mythical dragon. It had claws but no horns, and it wasn't so slender either. It looked very thick and strong, and its body was colorful. When it flew over from afar, I took a look and ran away in fright!" Wang Shishi's face was still full of fear when she told the story. Her body was trembling, but she tried her best not to change her tone.
Luo Yuan was silent. He took a piece of firewood and poked the campfire. Sparks flew.
Whether it was a dragon or not had no effect on his heart. Even if it was a real dragon, it would only be a powerful mutated beast in the post-apocalyptic world. He would not worship the descendant of a dragon just because of some far-fetched claim. The only thing that could make him afraid was strength.
Luo Yuan stood up and threw the firewood away. As he released his aura, the mutated beasts that were lingering around suddenly disappeared. "Sleep early. Don't think too much. We'll leave at 4 am tomorrow!"
It was a quiet night. When it was almost noon, the two of them arrived at the Reconstruction Area.
In the east corner of Hope City, there was a newly built large thermal power station that had been put into operation for the past two days. The huge chimney, which was more than ten meters thick, emitted thick smoke that almost covered half of the sky, making the already hazy Hope City even more misty.
Luo Yuan breathed in the pungent smell and gently exhaled. It had been a few days since he last smelled it. He actually missed it.
The Reconstruction Area lacked uranium, and most of them were used for nuclear weapons. Even hydrogen bombs needed uranium to be ignited. Therefore, there were not many nuclear power plants. Most of them were thermal power stations. After the apocalypse, the inexhaustible forest resources made the cost of thermal power so low that it was negligible.
When they arrived at the Reconstruction Area, the two of them were anxious and quickened their pace. Not long after, they arrived home.
Huang Jiahui and Zhao Yali did not go out. When they saw that Luo Yuan and Wang Shishi had returned safely, they were relieved. They had been worried about them for the past few days. They could not sleep at night, and their faces looked haggard.
Luo Yuan was the head of the family. If anything happened to him, it would be no different than the sky falling down for them.
Before Luo Yuan went home, he reminded Wang Shishi not to mention anything about the danger. The four of them had a happy lunch. Luo Yuan changed his clothes and went out again.
What they had encountered this time was of great importance. The emergence of extraterrestrial civilization had caused the fate of mankind to be at a crossroads. No matter what they chose to do, it would determine the future of the Reconstruction Area. The importance of a level eight mutated beast that could destroy a city was negligible in this matter.
No matter what, he was a member of mankind. If he was in the Reconstruction Area, he would be in the same boat. How could he stay out of it?
Luo Yuan walked to the Firearms Bureau and gently knocked on the door of the office director.
