A silhouette was running on the run-down street.
The collapsed buildings and the burning flames made the scene look like it was the end of the world.
Luo Yuan had nowhere to vent his anger, so he kept running. There was no one on the deserted street. He ran past street after street, and after about 10 minutes, he was close to the grain store near his residential area. When he saw the situation there, he narrowed his eyes and sped up.
At this time, eight heavy trucks were parked in front of the grain store. Dozens of soldiers were moving bags of grain from the store without stopping.
"Luckily, they haven't left yet!" Luo Yuan mumbled to himself, but his face was gloomy.
Luo Yuan watched for a while and then walked towards the grain store.
However, before they could walk more than a hundred meters, a few soldiers in charge of security looked over cautiously. One of the soldiers waved his hand forcefully and shouted, "Stop! This place has been taken over by the military. No one is allowed to approach!"
Luo Yuan did not stop and continued to walk forward.
"This is the last warning. If you move any closer, we'll shoot!"
The soldier's face gradually became serious, and the rest of them started to hold their guns tightly.
Luo Yuan stopped. Just when all the soldiers thought he had given up, he suddenly sped up and ran towards them. His high-speed body left a shadow in front of everyone's eyes.
"Damn it, evolved human! Shoot!" Seeing the other party's astonishing speed, a Second Lieutenant's expression immediately changed, and he shouted loudly.
If it had been a soldier during peacetime, he might have hesitated when he heard such an order, but this was not the case for these soldiers who had just survived a sea of corpses. As soon as the order was given, bullets started flying towards Luo Yuan.
The bullets hit the street and picked up countless stone chips, but none of them hit Luo Yuan's body.
It was not that these soldiers were bad at shooting. In fact, these soldiers who had experienced countless battles were good at shooting. However, Luo Yuan was able to detect the slightest speck of dust. After his Physique had been strengthened, his ability to think had been greatly enhanced. He no longer had nosebleeds like before. His body was like a rootless duckweed, swaying left and right. The bullets seemed to fly past him every time.
This miraculous evasion made the second lieutenant look serious. Seeing that Luo Yuan was getting closer, he suddenly waved his hand and gestured for everyone to be on guard. He shouted, "Everyone, stop shooting!"
The gunshots suddenly stopped.
This was the treatment of a strong man. He had the right to talk to his opponent. Otherwise, he would have been shot full of bullets before he could even get close to him.
"Evolved human?" the second lieutenant asked in a low voice.
Luo Yuan also stopped and nodded. He could feel that there were already three directions locked on to him following the Second Lieutenant's hand signal. He quietly glanced in those directions.
Seeing Luo Yuan's movement, the second lieutenant was shocked. "I've seen people from the first special forces, but I've never seen anyone as strong as you. If you're thinking of stealing the food, you're making a mistake. The food here belongs to the country. You can't take a bag with you unless you step over our dead bodies!"
"I'm not interested in the food!" Luo Yuan looked at the second lieutenant coldly for a while and finally said in a hoarse voice, "I just want to know where you're transporting the food to."
"This is a military secret. You have no right to know!" the second lieutenant said.
"Are you preparing to evacuate?" Luo Yuan continued to ask.
"This is a military secret!" the second lieutenant said reluctantly as his forehead started to sweat.
Luo Yuan looked at the ashamed faces of the soldiers and his heart sank. He walked a few steps forward and said loudly, "Where are we evacuating to? When? Tell me! "
The second lieutenant took a step back and remained silent.
"You can't tell me? Everyone's heart is made of flesh. Do you really want to watch Hedong City die? There are millions of people here, and every one of them is a living life. Give them a way out! "Luo Yuan said angrily, unable to express his anger.
The dozens of soldiers who were moving the rations had already surrounded them. After a long time, one of the soldiers suddenly took off his helmet and smashed it on the ground. "Platoon Leader, you said it yourself. Doing this is a sin that should be punished by eight generations of ancestors. Who cares about the bullsh * t confidentiality regulations!"
"Shut up!" The Second Lieutenant's expression immediately changed as he shouted.
"Platoon Leader, we're all soldiers of the people. We have to give these people a way out!" another soldier said.
"Platoon Leader, just tell me. My parents are in the countryside. I don't know how they're doing now. If they knew, they'd definitely agree with me … We're soldiers. What's the difference? We're all wearing plain military uniforms. We're soldiers. What's the difference? Ever since we left our hometown, it's been hard to see our parents … "a soldier with a dark face started to sing.
Suddenly, many people started to sing along with him. Some of them were thinking about their parents, who were still in danger, and their eyes turned red.
"Are all of you free? Have you finished moving the food? Who told you to rest? Continue moving the food! " The second lieutenant shouted. He knew that he could not let this emotion spread among the troops. Since the day before, the soldiers had been under unimaginable pressure due to the high number of casualties and the pessimistic news. If they broke down, the consequences would be dire. Mutiny was possible.
But no one moved. A few of them wanted to turn around, but when they saw that the others were not leaving, they stopped too.
The air seemed to freeze.
The second lieutenant's face darkened. After a while, he sighed and said to Luo Yuan, "The army can't hold them off anymore. We … we have to retreat to the underground base!"
"Where's the underground base?" Luo Yuan asked hurriedly.
"Lanshan District. The big construction site not far from here. According to the plan, it should be able to accommodate a million people. But time is too tight, and the war happened too suddenly. Only one-third of the area has been built. I hope you can sneak in when the time comes. Remember, it's 12 o 'clock tonight!"
"So that's where it is! No wonder!" Luo Yuan suddenly realized. He remembered the big construction site not far from the residential area. The construction site had not stopped ever since it had started. Except for the past few days, there had been an endless flow of construction vehicles every day. Even when the mutated mosquitoes were wreaking havoc, the construction had not stopped. It turned out that they were building an underground base.
"If you're willing to join the army, you can go back with us now. You can even bring two of your relatives with you!" the second lieutenant said.
"Only two?" Luo Yuan asked.
"The quota is really limited. This is already a special treatment for evolved people!"
Luo Yuan was silent for a while. Finally, he shook his head and said, "I need to think about it. I'll leave first. Thank you!"
"You don't have to thank me. I didn't say anything to you. You'd better forget everything you heard just now. Just keep it in your heart," the second lieutenant said coldly as he turned around.
Luo Yuan nodded his head and walked away, stumbling a little.
…..
"What took you so long?" Huang Jiahui asked as she handed him a bottle of mineral water.
Looking at Huang Jiahui's anxious expression, Luo Yuan said softly, "I just went outside to take a look."
"What's the situation outside?" Huang Jiahui's face was filled with hope and anxiety.
Luo Yuan opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something.
"I heard the sound of the cannons getting softer. Are the mutated beasts in the city dying out?" Wang Shishi asked softly.
Luo Yuan looked at Wang Shishi's young face and kept silent for a while. Then he said in a low voice, "All of you, come with me tonight. We can't stay here anymore. The army can't hold them back anymore. They've decided to retreat to the underground base tonight. We'll go together then."
Everyone was shocked. After a while, Huang Jiahui asked with a pained heart, "What about the food? What about the food here?"
"Leave it here first. No one will steal it. When the situation stabilizes, we can come back and get it." Luo Yuan said.
"Brother Luo, can everyone go to the underground base?" Huang Yuying, who had been silent all this while, suddenly asked shyly.
Luo Yuan looked at her. This sensitive woman had already sensed that something was wrong. Although it was cruel, there were only two places. If he had to give up on someone, he would have to give up on her.
However, Luo Yuan did not say anything directly. When a person was desperate, they could do anything. Instead, he said, "No, there are places. I can bring everyone there because I'm an evolved person."
Huang Yuying nodded and looked down. Her body was trembling slightly.
