When he walked into the barracks, the mutated woman stared at Luo Yuan without blinking. Her eyes were sparkling with tears.
She allowed Luo Yuan to untie the ropes and the rattan net on her body. She did not move at all until her body was untied. She then quickly stood up and hid behind Luo Yuan.
Luo Yuan shook his head and laughed. He then strode out of the barracks and the mutated woman quickly followed him.
The tunnel was empty. Both of them did not stop Luo Yuan and Luo Yuan along the way. They passed through the broken training ground and the cafeteria that had collapsed. All the survivors were hiding behind the door, in the corner or behind the ruins. They were peeking at Luo Yuan and Luo Yuan secretly. Their eyes were filled with suspicion and fear.
However, there were also people who were eager to try.
"He is too arrogant. Aren't we going to kill him?" In the warehouse, a group of people surrounded a man who was as strong as a bear.
He said angrily as he looked at Luo Yuan who was walking leisurely through their territory.
The person who spoke was a man who was shrouded in a layer of shadow. In the darkness, his figure seemed to blend into the darkness. He looked mysterious and terrifying. Although he was only one person, his aura was vaguely superior compared to this group of people.
"If you want to die, go ahead. I'm not going to keep you company!" He said with a cold smile. His voice was vague and sounded a little sinister.
The two of them were undoubtedly the leaders of the other two forces in the shelter, the Herculean King and Xie Ziliu.
Of course, without Cao Cao, there were only these two forces left in the shelter.
"Can't both of us work together?" The Herculean King looked at him suspiciously. Unfortunately, he could not see the expression on Xie Ziliu's face.
Xie Ziliu had always been a loner. However, both the Herculean King and Cao Cao knew that Xie Ziliu was much stronger than them. They still could not figure out his strength and did not know what he looked like. They only knew that he used to be a soldier and was also the first person to go hunting in the wild.
If it were not for the fact that Xie Ziliu was eccentric, unambitious, and a loner, he and Cao Cao would not have been able to eat and sleep in peace.
Xie Ziliu seemed to have heard a funny joke and let out a creepy laugh, which gave Li Wang goosebumps, "I think you have been here for too long, you have really become frogs at the bottom of a well. Why don't you see where he came from?"
"Where is it?" The Power King could not help but be surprised. The electronic devices in the sanctuary had all been destroyed, and the information was blocked. Not to mention wireless devices, it was difficult to even find an integrated circuit or component.
Xie Ziliu looked at the Force King and smiled. There was a mocking tone in his voice as if he was overestimating himself.
"There is still a large-scale civilization that can still wear this kind of clothes. I guess there is only one place that still has this kind of industrial ability.
Let me tell you something. Not long after the apocalypse appeared, the government mobilized the entire country to build the largest reconstruction project. It was called the reconstruction area. It was located in Taklamakan, the driest desert in China. Why don't you think we can defeat someone who could come here from so far away? "
As a soldier who stayed behind to stay behind, Xie Ziliu still remembered where his other comrades had been deployed to. It was either somewhere else or the reconstruction area. Fate had allowed him to stay, and the cruelty of survival had made him, just like the rest of the people, to live through the darkest days.
"How do you know that he walked here? Maybe he took a plane … "The Force King retorted, but he stopped halfway through his sentence. There were no planes flying in the sky now, and it was the world of mutated birds.
Thinking about this, the Force King took a deep breath, and his heart was in turmoil. He could not recover from it for a long time.
Before the apocalypse, he was just an ordinary farmer, and his geographical knowledge was not good. However, he knew that the distance between the two places was more than a thousand miles. To be able to travel through the wilderness and arrive here without any dust on his clothes, and his face did not show any signs of hardship, he must be very powerful.
Xie Ziliu did not care about the Force King's shock. His eyes seemed to be shining with hope, and he said in a dreamy tone, "I thought that the reconstruction area had disappeared, but the appearance of this person means that the reconstruction area is still intact.
I can't see any hope here, and this shelter is destined to slowly decay. Perhaps in half a year's time, there will be no one here. I don't want to die for nothing, I want to leave! "
"What?" The Force King was shocked, and when he understood, he could not help but feel excited. Cao Cao was dead, and now that Xie Ziliu was planning to leave, the entire shelter would be under his control.
However, soon, he felt a sense of loss, and the joy on his face had dissipated.
It was like a ship that was about to sink. Although the people who stayed were temporarily safe, their fate had been decided, and it was only a matter of time. Now, one of the strongest among them was preparing to jump out of the broken ship in an attempt to find land. The road ahead was unknown, and his life and death were uncertain. As the second strongest person, he was somewhat happy, but also somewhat frightened. Perhaps even he himself was not sure what he was feeling.
"I'm leaving, I hope we'll meet again!" Xie Ziliu looked at Luo Yuan who was about to disappear and said.
"So soon?" The Force King was surprised, and he did not know why he was reluctant to leave.
"I don't know where to go, of course, I'll follow that person." Xie Ziliu said faintly, and the next moment, he decisively turned around and left. He did not even look back at the few women who were with him. His body seemed to blend into the shadows, and he rushed towards Luo Yuan.
…
Just when Luo Yuan walked out of the small cave, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Come out!"
The mutated woman's ears twitched, and she quickly hid behind Luo Yuan, and carefully looked at a dark place.
Xie Ziliu soon appeared from the shadows, but before he could explain his intention, Luo Yuan said, "Are you going to the reconstruction area?"
"How did you know?" Xie Ziliu was surprised, and he immediately looked at Luo Yuan with his guard up. He was secretly nervous, and he realized that he was being seen through by this person, and he could not hide any secrets from him.
"You said it yourself, and I heard it. Unfortunately, I have something else to do, and I'm not going to the reconstruction area this time. You can't follow me, you can only go on your own." Luo Yuan's hearing was sharp, and he could easily hear the fluttering sound of a mutated mosquito from a few kilometers away. Moreover, both of them did not bother to hide their conversation, so of course, he could hear it clearly.
Luo Yuan looked at him curiously. This evolved human's ability was quite unique, and he could actually produce shadows from his body. He was not sure if it was light absorption or light refraction.
Xie Ziliu was shocked by Luo Yuan's ability. He could not help but feel lucky that he was smart, or else, he would have listened to the Force King's instigation. With his super hearing, everyone's movements could not be hidden. As long as he was patient, he could kill everyone in the shelter one by one.
Xie Ziliu was a little disappointed as he listened to Luo Yuan's resolute refusal. However, the pride of a strong person that was cultivated in the shelter prevented him from begging Luo Yuan. Moreover, he knew that it would be useless, so he changed his mind and asked, "But I don't know where to go."
"I'll give you a satellite map, but it's not here. You'll have to follow me to our temporary residence today," Luo Yuan said after thinking about it. The Reconstruction Area had prepared two satellite maps for him, and one of them was a spare. Hence, it would not hurt to give him one.
"Alright!" Xie Ziliu said simply.
Luo Yuan looked at the time, and it was already past eight o 'clock. He then said, "It's a little far, so we'll have to hurry up. Let me know if you can't run anymore."
Even if Xie Ziliu felt that he was a few heads lower than him when they met, he could not help but feel humiliated. He, who looked down upon the heroes in the shelter, had never heard such words before. Moreover, he was the only one who had the right to say such words there.
However, before he could regain his senses, Luo Yuan had already disappeared in front of him like a wisp of green smoke. Following closely behind him was the beautiful mutated human. His face was flushed and burning hot. Fortunately, his face was blocked by the shadows, so no one could see his face clearly.
When he regained his senses, he quickly chased after Luo Yuan. However, he was depressed to find out that no matter how hard he ran, the distance between them was getting further and further.
Of course, Luo Yuan did not want to give him a hard time. After all, he would not be able to meet this person anymore, so there was no need for him to do so.
His speed was not fast, only about 50 to 60 meters per second. Not to mention running at full speed, it was not even a normal walking speed. It was equivalent to a normal jogging.
Of course, 56 meters per second was already quite shocking. In the Reconstruction Area, to be able to achieve such a speed, one would at least be rated as a level four evolved person, with the potential to become a reserve member of the Firearms Bureau.
There were not many evolved people like that in the Reconstruction Area, only a few hundred to a thousand of them. Compared to the large number of evolved people, it was extremely rare. As for the population of the shelter, the probability of having a strong evolved person who was above level four was similar to winning the lottery.
The battle that happened earlier was too fast. It was almost like an instant kill. He had no idea how strong or weak the evolved people were. Luo Yuan did not realize that the evolved people here were so weak, so he subconsciously slowed down a little. Usually, the evolved people that he came into contact with were either super evolved people from the Firearms Bureau or the talented mutated human. He could not keep up with the situation.
Xie Ziliu only managed to catch up with Luo Yuan when he slowed down. However, his speed was already reduced to 30 to 40 meters per second!
Xie Ziliu noticed that the mutated human would look back at him from time to time. It seemed that the mutated human was surprised that he was moving so slowly. Xie Ziliu could not help but blush. He quickly avoided the gaze and continued to run.
...
There seemed to be no end to the road ahead. His legs were getting numb and he was breathing heavily like a bellows. His lungs were burning. He did not know how long he had been running. He only knew that the environment was getting more and more remote and strange. This place was far beyond the exploration area of the shelter. At the same time, it was even scarier. There were all kinds of attacks that happened one after another along the way.
He was shocked to find out that Luo Yuan still had the strength to kill some of the terrifying mutated beasts while he was running. His speed was not reduced at all.
Some of the mutated beasts were eight to nine meters tall, and some were even more than ten meters tall. They were cut into half by Luo Yuan just because they were blocking his way.
The strong smell of blood spread all the way. Xie Ziliu was so shocked that he was numb to everything that he had seen.
He had never thought that evolved people could be so strong. Even one of these terrifying mutated beasts was enough to make the whole shelter feel hopeless. However, in his eyes, it was as easy as killing chickens and sheep.
...
Because of the extra burden, Luo Yuan had to stop and run all the way. It took him five hours to get back to the cave.
"The Reconstruction Area is too far away from here. The danger along the way is not something you can handle with your current strength. I suggest that you don't go. Stay in the shelter and you can at least live for a few more years." Luo Yuan lit up the campfire and took out the satellite map from his backpack. He threw it to Xie Ziliu, who was exhausted from running, and gave him a rare suggestion.
He did not say that even if he reached the Reconstruction Area, it would not be safe. The extraterrestrial civilization was like the sword of Damocles hanging above the Reconstruction Area. They could attack at any time. If that happened, it might still be safer in the wilderness.
Xie Ziliu panted heavily and collapsed on the ground. The torture of running along the way had completely destroyed his dignity as a strong person. He smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I know that, but I don't want to die without any hope. No matter how dangerous it is, I want to die on the road."
Luo Yuan sighed in his heart. When Hedong City fell, he traveled thousands of miles across China. He had the same thought and mentality.
"Can you tell me about the situation in the Reconstruction Area?" Xie Ziliu asked.
"The Reconstruction Area. It's fine for the time being. The society has been rebuilt and the danger of mutated beasts has been isolated. There are factories and underground cities everywhere. Everything is developing rapidly and is thriving. At least when I came out, everything was fine. "Luo Yuan said.
If there was no extraterrestrial civilization, everything would be developing well. Perhaps before he was born, he would be able to see the scene of humans reclaiming the lost land.
Xie Ziliu looked excited and breathed heavily, "I really hope to see it."
Luo Yuan shook his head and did not say anything. He did not think that Xie Ziliu would be able to survive. He took a small mutated beast that he killed along the way, skinned it, sliced its belly and put it on the fire rack to roast.
"Let me do it." Xie Ziliu quickly said.
"It's okay." Luo Yuan rejected, "We will be separated tomorrow. You still need to travel alone. Have a good rest today."
Although Luo Yuan sympathized with him, he could not abandon his mission and accompany him.
The mutated woman squatted quietly beside Luo Yuan and listened to their conversation. Her eyes looked at the fire from time to time and secretly looked at Luo Yuan from time to time.
Judging from the distance between them, she had completely let down her guard against Luo Yuan. The reason why she kept her distance was probably because she was used to living in the wild. She was not used to being too close to him.
The campfire burned quietly. Occasionally, oil would drip from the fire, creating sparks and crackling sounds.
No one spoke for a while. Everyone seemed to be thinking about their own things.
A few of them hurriedly ate their late dinner, leaving a pile of bones on the ground. Luo Yuan threw a spare tent to Xie Ziliu as the mutated woman would not need it anyway, "This is for you. You can use it on the way."
"Thank you!" Xie Ziliu said gratefully as he gently touched the tent. Feeling the smooth texture of the tent, he instinctively felt that this tent was not simple. Vaguely, there seemed to be a faint but majestic aura faintly exuding from it.
...
The night was dark. The mutated woman who was hiding in the corner walked quietly to Luo Yuan's tent and lay down next to it.
Luo Yuan was not asleep. He had a complicated feeling about what was happening outside. After a while, he made a decision in his heart.
It was undeniable that after these two days of interaction, especially after what happened tonight, he had unknowingly developed a good impression of this simple-minded fellow. However, all good things must come to an end. He had to part ways with the mutated human!
Even if the space-time bubble did not succeed, it would happen sooner or later. It was just that the time had been brought forward. If she really followed him to the dangerous seaside, it would not do her any good. Instead, it would hurt her.
Moreover, this mission had been delayed for a long time. This mission was related to the survival of mankind. The earlier he could get the information, the more hope there would be for mankind. He could not delay it any longer.
Now that he had the ability to fly in the space-time bubble, he had to get to the Island of Borneo as soon as possible.
