"Do you think we're a little useless?" Qian Dakui sat in his seat and did not get out of the car. He said after a moment of silence.
Zhang Chao and Yang Dawei were stunned, their expressions complicated.
Before Luo Yuan could say anything, Qian Dakui sighed and said, "You've heard of evolved people, haven't you?"
"You mean there's an evolved person among the five of them?" Luo Yuan's heart skipped a beat and his expression turned serious.
"That's right. The one walking at the back of the group is an evolved person." He hesitated for a moment before continuing, "He's not that strong. He's just a little stronger than an ordinary person, but his superpower is disgusting. He can turn invisible at any time."
Invisible!
Luo Yuan frowned. He had not expected an evolved person to have such an ability.
"A few days ago, the people from Hedong City and the people from Donghu City had a fierce battle in the wild. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. Halfway through the battle, the people from Hedong City asked for a negotiation. We didn't want to fight anymore, so we agreed without much thought. However, not long after we stopped firing, more than a dozen people started dying mysteriously. If we hadn't forced him to retreat with our machine guns, I'm afraid everyone would have died! "
"Then why did you come? Weren't you afraid that he would come and kill you? " Luo Yuan was confused. He could not understand what they were thinking. He did not believe that they were here just to help him find the dead body of the bird.
Qian Dakui looked uneasy and embarrassed.
Although Luo Yuan was not experienced in society, Qian Dakui was not good at hiding. Luo Yuan could tell that he was hiding something. As soon as he thought about it, he understood. He looked at Qian Dakui and said bluntly, "So, Old Qian, you're using me as a gun?"
Zhang Chao's expression changed. His hand slowly reached for the military knife in his boot, while Zhang Dawei pressed on the handle of his knife.
Their movements could not escape Luo Yuan's senses. He glanced at them coldly. Their faces turned pale and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Qian Dakui also had goosebumps all over his body. This kind of feeling only appeared when he was facing a powerful mutated beast. He was frightened and quickly said, "You guys, stop it! Boss Luo, please don't misunderstand me. I didn't know we'd be so unlucky to bump into them. "
Luo Yuan's expression grew colder and colder.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, Qian Dakui forced a smile and said, "Alright, I do have that thought. Truth be told, we've been resting for several days since the conflict. I was planning to go to another base, but when I talked to you about the feather, I suddenly had an idea. "
He already had a premonition about Qian Dakui's behavior yesterday. Although he was a little uncomfortable, he wasn't angry. He said in a deep voice, "I can let this go. I just want to know, do you have that feather?"
"Yes, of course. How would I dare to lie to you? "Qian Dakui quickly vowed. He felt a wave of regret in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would not have been so petty.
"That's good." Luo Yuan's expression softened.
The few of them heaved a sigh of relief. Only then did they realize that their backs were drenched in sweat.
"Boss Luo, you are an evolved human, right?" Qian Dakui asked hesitantly.
Luo Yuan was stunned for a moment, but he nodded in agreement. It was a good excuse to cover up his extraordinary physical fitness.
Zhang Chao and Yang Dawei looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. Qian Dakui, on the other hand, looked as if he had expected it.
Luo Yuan suddenly said, "Alright, we've had enough. Where should we go next?"
Then he pushed the door open and walked down.
"We have plenty of time anyway. Why don't we look for the mutated bird's carcass first?" Qian Dakui asked, knowing that he was in the wrong.
"Sure!" Luo Yuan said nonchalantly. "Should I go relieve myself first?"
As he spoke, he walked forward. He walked to a burnt tree and stopped. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. His hand quickly pressed on the hilt of his sword. In the next moment, a green light flashed and blood splattered. A shrill scream was heard in the wilderness.
At the same time, a man slowly appeared in front of them. He was holding his abdomen in fear. Blood was flowing out of the wound, and his face was frighteningly pale. "This … This is impossible. How did you find me?"
It was the man who had smiled at Luo Yuan before. But this time, his smile was no longer calm. He was shocked and angry.
Qian Dakui and the others were also shocked by the sudden change. They quickly took out their weapons and were on high alert.
"It's just a little trick," Luo Yuan said slowly. Luo Yuan said slowly, "Tell me where your partner is and I might spare your life."
He had looked around and realized that there was no movement. Obviously, the others were not there.
Invisibility was indeed a little trick to him. It could only fool the retina, but not his senses. He had already sensed it when he was ten meters away from Luo Yuan. If he had not wanted to ask for more information, he would have killed him already.
To him, this evolved human who was not adept at using firearms was not dangerous at all. The ones who were dangerous were the ordinary people who possessed modern firearms. Since he had accepted the grudge, he would not rest until he was dead. He had to find out where these people were and get rid of them once and for all. He did not want to be shot in the back while he was hunting.
"Impossible, this is … a coincidence. You couldn't have seen me. You must have guessed it, right?" The man mumbled to himself as if he did not hear Luo Yuan's question.
Apparently, he was so confident in his abilities that he did not even care about death until he found out what was going on.
Besides Zhang Chao, who was holding his sniper rifle, Qian Dakui and Zhang Dawei also walked over. They were shocked to see the man who had appeared frequently in their nightmares. Zhang Dawei was speechless. "It's him, the evolved man?"
The invisible man looked at both of them in disdain. He seemed to have regained his confidence. He then looked at Luo Yuan with a maniacal smile and said, "Ever since I became an evolved human, I have never been so seriously injured. But you won't be so lucky next time …"
As he spoke, his body quickly disappeared.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound was heard. Zhang Chao had fired his sniper rifle, but he had missed the best time to shoot because the others had blocked the shot.
Luo Yuan smiled coldly and stomped on the ground. He felt like there was a breeze around his body, and his speed increased significantly. In less than a breath, he was already ten meters away.
The sharp Zhanmadao drew a green arc in the air, and an arm flew into the air. The invisible man reappeared and fell to the ground. His face was pale from the intense pain and large amounts of blood loss. However, he was tough. Other than a scream when he was caught off guard at the beginning, he didn't scream again.
Luo Yuan said with a murderous look, "Your little tricks are useless against me. Don't test my patience. Tell me, where are your friends?"
"Once is a coincidence, but twice is inevitable. It seems like you can really see me, or feel me!" He looked at Luo Yuan with empty eyes, as if he had completely lost his spirit. "I can tell you where they are, but in exchange, you have to tell me how you can see me!"
Luo Yuan could feel his determination. He knew that it was useless to force him, so he nodded and said, "Sure."
His eyes lit up. "Our captain doesn't like you people from Donghu City, so he asked me to kill you. Follow this path for about three kilometers, and you'll see them. I wish you success in advance. "
"How can I believe that you're not lying? You're not trying to trick us into going to the territory of a powerful mutated beast?" Luo Yuan asked with a cold smile.
"I don't need to lie to you!" A trace of shame and anger flashed across his face as he said disdainfully, "Those aren't my companions. At best, they're just collaborators. I evolved to become invisible, so my strength and speed are only at the level of an ordinary person. That's why I help them kill people, and they kill mutated beasts. It's a fair exchange. "
"Alright, I believe you. Can you go now?" Luo Yuan could tell that he was an extremely arrogant person. He had an inexplicable fondness for him. He had lost an arm, and his abdomen had been cut open. Whether he could survive depended on his luck.
Zhang Dawei wanted to stop him, but he swallowed his words when he saw Luo Yuan's calm face.
"You're not going to kill me?" The invisible man was moved.
"You're not a threat to me," Luo Yuan said calmly. "Besides, I rely on my senses, or intuition."
"Intuition?" His face was full of confusion, and his body was on the verge of collapsing. He stood there in a daze. He never thought that the ability he was so proud of would be broken so easily.
"Let's go," Luo Yuan said to Qian Dakui and the others.
Zhang Chao hesitated, but when he saw Qian Dakui shake his head, he released the trigger and stood up with the sniper rifle.
As soon as they reached the entrance of the forest, Luo Yuan heard the sound of water behind him. It was like a high-pressure water jet. He turned around and sighed. The invisible man's only left hand was hanging from his neck. There was a knife in his hand, and blood was splattering in the air like fireworks.
He knelt down on the ground.
Luo Yuan looked at him and turned around.
When the ability that he was so proud of was broken so easily, his belief in life was gone. He was so arrogant that he was almost paranoid. He was also the first evolved person that Luo Yuan had met.
White clouds spread across the dark blue sky like fish scales.
Below the white clouds was a boundless sea of trees that extended to the horizon. Looking down from the sky, these trees were mostly lush and tender, with a rich vitality.
This was a new and vast forest. From the original farmland to the grassland, and then to the current forest, it only took a few short months.
Although it couldn't be compared to some ancient forests that had existed for tens of thousands of years, it had already begun to take shape. Trees with meter-thick trunks could be found everywhere. In a sense, this forest was even more prosperous and active.
The original farmland had been covered, and there was no trace of human cultivation.
The ground was covered with a layer of gray humus. It felt soft and loose when stepped on. This was the price that the grass had to pay for losing the competition. Of course, some of the grass had survived. Some of them had adapted to the environment under the cover of the leaves, and some of them had even evolved to be as soft as dodder. They wrapped themselves around the big trees and absorbed a lot of nutrients, climbing up the ladder of evolution.
The few of them walked carefully along a path that had been dug by the hunters.
