After the two of them left, Luo Yuan picked up one of the boxes and checked the gas mask inside. Since they had to use such a thing, he was afraid that the medicine they were going to use the next day would be very toxic.
The dosage needed to kill the mutated mosquitoes would also be fatal to some weak people. The mutated mosquitoes had undergone their first evolution, and their vitality was hundreds or even thousands of times stronger than their previous kind. Unless they used genetic potions, it would be impossible to kill the mutated mosquitoes without harming the human body.
As for the gene potions, even the world's top biological laboratory would find it a huge and complicated project to produce the gene potions for mutated mosquitoes, let alone Hedong City. Many of the details were only based on rough theories and concepts.
"Brother Luo, did I give you too much money?" Wang Shishi asked as she came to her senses. She had taken out most of her money in a daze, leaving only some loose change and a few gold bars. She asked anxiously when she saw Luo Yuan's silence.
Luo Yuan snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Wang Shishi, who looked like she had done something wrong. He comforted her, "Don't worry, you can always earn more money."
Twenty thousand might seem like a lot, but it was only his harvest from two hunting trips in the wild. Besides, there were more than ten stacks of food stamps in the safe in the basement. Compared to yesterday's harvest, today's expenditure was nothing. He just felt that the twenty thousand he had given her was not worth it.
However, Wang Shishi could not be blamed entirely. Most people had a natural fear of the government's violence, not to mention her guilty conscience. Wang Shishi was only 14 years old. Even a university student who had yet to enter society would have been confused by such a situation and would not have known what to do next.
Wang Shishi was relieved that Luo Yuan did not blame her, but she still felt sad when she remembered that she had given away her family's money to someone else.
…
At 9: 50 am, the piercing sound of the air-raid siren pierced through the silent Hedong City, hovering above the city. As the time slowly approached 10 am, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
The next moment, the roar of a plane came from outside, getting closer and closer. The noise was so loud that even the windows started to shake.
Through the window, Luo Yuan saw a large, silver-white bomber flying at a low altitude towards him. Judging from the way it brushed past the top of the tall building, it was flying at a height of less than 300 meters. He was worried that it would crash into the building.
After circling in the air for a while, the edges of the metal wings on both sides of the bomber ejected more than a dozen wisps of white mist, fluttering in the air and sprinkling down.
Not long after, a fog seemed to rise outside the window, and the surrounding visibility quickly decreased.
Even through the gas mask, Luo Yuan could smell an unusually pungent odor. He spent the whole morning using wet cloth to block all the cracks in the windows and doors, but it was not enough to completely stop the drug from seeping in.
Huang Jiahui looked at Luo Yuan anxiously. Luo Yuan held her hand and felt that it was moist.
"This level of concentration should be fine, right?" Luo Yuan saw that the visibility in the room was not that bad, so he comforted her softly. His voice was distorted through the gas mask.
Wang Shishi was not afraid at all. Instead, she looked excited as she looked at the white mist outside. Her telekinesis could completely block the gas, but it could only last for four to five minutes. She decided to wait until the concentration was higher before using it. However, when she saw Luo Yuan holding Huang Jiahui's hand, she felt that it was not a good thing to pretend to be calm. If she had known earlier, she would have pretended to be afraid, so that she could have intimate contact with Brother Luo.
She secretly glanced at Luo Yuan's other hand, feeling a little tempted.
The bomber was still circling above them, showing no signs of leaving. Tons of poisonous gas kept pouring down from the sky above the city. The fog outside the window was getting thicker. Even with Luo Yuan's eyesight, he could only see about seven to eight meters away.
Drops of slightly yellow, turbid liquid began to condense on the window. Under the influence of gravity, the liquid slid down the smooth glass, leaving ugly yellow marks.
A mutated mosquito the size of a child's fist fluttered in front of the window as if it was drunk. Under everyone's anxious gaze, it hit the window with a loud bang.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief at the same time.
The quality of the glass in this villa was pretty good. Other than leaving a black mark, the entire glass was intact. However, there was a small accident in the middle. Because of the vibration, the wet cloth stuck in the gap fell from the window and fell to the ground. A trace of white smoke seeped in through the gap.
Luo Yuan walked over and picked up the cloth. Just when he was about to paste it back on, the ground suddenly shook.
"What's going on? Is there an earthquake? "
Everyone's hearts, which had just calmed down, were on tenterhooks again. The surroundings were quiet. They could only hear the slightly rapid breathing of the gas passing through the gas masks.
As time passed, the earthquake did not happen again. Just when Luo Yuan was about to let out a sigh of relief, the ground shook again. His face gradually became serious. This time, he could hear it clearer. Other than the vibration, he could also hear the sound of plants breaking.
He continued to listen for a while. Although he did not hear any monsters, he was sure that it was not an earthquake. It was a mutated beast that had suddenly appeared in the neighborhood.
Moreover, it could not be more than 100 meters away.
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise like an explosion, followed by the sound of bricks falling on the ground. It seemed like a building had collapsed.
Then, the sound of trees falling was getting closer. The mutated beast seemed to be coming towards them. Huang Yuying's body was weak from the unknown. She could barely stand, but she clenched her teeth and did not make a sound. She knew very well that her position in Luo Yuan's heart was incomparable to the other two. If she was weak, not only would she not be taken care of, she might even be abandoned by him.
"Brother Luo, what's going on outside?" Wang Shishi's calmness suddenly collapsed. She looked terrified.
"Something is coming. Let's go downstairs to the basement!" Luo Yuan said hurriedly after listening to the movement outside.
Luo Yuan took the flashlight and opened the door. The few of them left the master bedroom and quickly ran to the first floor.
"Follow me?" Luo Yuan walked to the bathroom and opened the wardrobe. He pushed the front panel hard and revealed a staircase that led to the basement. Luo Yuan passed the flashlight to Wang Shishi and said hurriedly, "You guys go in quickly."
Wang Shishi was the first to go in, followed by Huang Jiahui. Huang Yuying hesitated for a moment and looked at Luo Yuan carefully. Seeing that he had no intention of going in first, she mustered her courage and followed him.
"It's so dark in there. Why aren't you coming in?" Huang Jiahui asked anxiously when she saw that Huang Yuying had already come down but Luo Yuan had not come in.
"You guys stay inside, I'll go take a look outside."
"Do you want to die? There's poisonous gas outside. You'll die. Luo Yuan, don't be rash. Come in … "Huang Jiahui said anxiously. Her eyes were red.
"The beast is coming this way. If the villa is destroyed, all of us will die. Besides, my Physique is much stronger than ordinary people. This little bit of poisonous gas can't do anything to me in a short period of time. "Luo Yuan shook his head and said.
"We don't even know if the villa will be destroyed or not. What if it's just passing by?" Huang Jiahui said anxiously, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Luck is too unpredictable. I've never relied on luck. Don't try to persuade me. You know me!" Luo Yuan said firmly.
Huang Jiahui was speechless. Her words of persuasion were stuck in her throat.
"Brother Luo, I … I want to go with you." Wang Shishi struggled for a while. She thought that her telekinesis could shield her from the poisonous gas and help Luo Yuan.
"Aren't you afraid?" Luo Yuan asked curiously.
"I … Of course I'm afraid. But with Brother Luo here, I'm not afraid of anything." Wang Shishi said bravely. Her face was red.
Luo Yuan did not hear the affection in her voice. Even if he did, he would not have thought much of it. He thought for a while and said, "Come with me if you want to."
Luo Yuan thought that it would be good for Wang Shishi to train. Although her telekinesis was not very strong and she could not control anything that weighed more than 20 kilograms, with a suitable weapon, her lethality would not be weak at all.
Due to her special ability, she was even stronger than Luo Yuan in some aspects. However, she could not fully utilize her strength because of her mentality.
She would not be able to survive in this dark age. It was time for her to face the cruel reality.
Suddenly, a system notification sounded in his mind. "Triggered E-Level Mission: Kill the Corrosive Centipede! Mission Duration: 3 hours. Cancel. "
"A blue level creature!"
