Epoch of Twilight

Opposite compartment.

Countless white bones and blood-stained rags were scattered all over the ground, and several snow-white heads were still rolling around due to the previous collision, making people feel as if they were in hell.

There was a ticking sound of running water in the car, and a smell of urine permeated the entire car.

At this time, a mouse jumped onto the bus opposite, it squeaked a few times, and then walked towards this side.

Several people sitting in front began to back away slowly.

"Find a weapon quickly. I don't believe I can't deal with a few mice!" One of the middle-aged men stood up with a grim expression and said loudly. He glanced left and right, then walked forward and pulled out the fire ax in the car.

A few more young men boldly went to the cab and pulled out a wrench, a hammer, and an iron bar about a foot long.

The mouse quickly jumped into the platform of the driver's cab along the gap in the iron net, and several women screamed loudly.

Several men with weapons swallowed involuntarily, glanced at each other, and hesitated.

However, the mouse did not attack immediately, instead it squeaked.

"Kill it, it's calling other mice." The old man said loudly.

Everyone's face changed drastically. The middle-aged man with the fire ax glanced at the nearby people with weapons and said, "Let's go together, we have no way out. Otherwise, everyone will die here?"

"good!"

"People are dead and birds are facing the sky, let's go all out."

"Even if I die, I will destroy a few mice."

Everyone shouted loudly, secretly encouraging themselves.

The man with the fire ax yelled, and walked towards the mutated rat. The rat screamed, turned around and jumped back to the original carriage, and disappeared without a trace.

The crowd immediately burst into cheers, but within half a minute, the cheers stopped abruptly.

A dozen or so mice entered the opposite carriage, and more and more, it soon turned into a cloud of dust.

Feeling the danger, Luo Yuan took out the saber knife from the wooden box, stood up immediately, pulled Zhao Yali up, and said in a low voice, "Follow me."

"I haven't brought my luggage yet?" Zhao Yali said in horror.

"Don't worry about it, hold my hand, we're leaving here, it's not safe anymore?" Luo Yuan hurriedly said.

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Yali had no idea at all at this time, and she was confused.

"Believe me, I will definitely protect your safety. I remember telling you that I have practiced martial arts." Luo Yuan comforted, and pulled Zhao Yali towards the cab quickly. Once the rats flooded into the carriage, with such a narrow space, he couldn't use it no matter how strong he was, and the people here would be a burden to him.

Luo Yuan opened the baffle, pressed the button to open the door, the sound of air pressure sounded, and the door slowly opened,

"What do you want to do?" The middle-aged man shouted with anger.

"Are you courting death?"

"Quick, close the door."

Everyone was terrified and cursed angrily.

Luo Yuan pulled out the horse-cutting knife with a blank expression, shook the blade, and said coldly: "Swords don't have eyes, I hope you don't misunderstand me, friends, get out of the way, we have to leave first."

The faces of the men who were about to rush over changed drastically, and they immediately stopped and retreated.

"Let's go!" Luo Yuan seized the opportunity and hurriedly pulled Zhao Yali, who was a little stupefied, towards the door.

As soon as the two of them got out of the car, the door was immediately closed by the people in the car.

Luo Yuan quickly observed the surroundings, and the situation was better than expected. Except for five mice in the distance, the rest of the mice disappeared at all. Obviously, they all ran to the opposite bus. He felt relieved and immediately Pulling Zhao Yali along the road to run forward.

The figures of the two quickly attracted the attention of several mutant mice, and they squeaked a few times before rushing towards this side.

"Xiaoyuan!" Zhao Yali exclaimed.

"Don't be afraid, keep running." Luo Yuan glanced at the mutant rat that was getting closer, and said calmly.

At this moment, the mice stopped and squeaked non-stop, as if they were a little panicked.

Seeing Luo Yuan and the two getting closer, they even began to back away slowly.

"What's going on?" Luo Yuan was puzzled.

At this time, he remembered that the snake-scale bulletproof vest on his body seemed to have an additional effect of deterrence, which seemed to be the reason.

However, this deterrence didn't seem to be very effective against the mutant creature. After a while, the mice overcame their instinctive fear and continued to charge towards him.

The distance between the two quickly narrowed,

Ten meters, five meters, three meters...

Luo Yuan suddenly let go of Zhao Yali's hand, shortened his body, and sped up suddenly. The Saber reflected a dazzling light in the sun, and suddenly the light disappeared. The two mutant rats who were the first to bear the brunt were stunned, and their heads shot up into the sky with the blood. .

Zhanma Dao made another turn, and the body of a mutated rat that was trying to jump on him was split in two. Luo Yuan made a wrong step, stepping away from the splashing blood. Dragging the blade and gently pulling it, the sharp blade ripped open another unlucky mutant rat.

Luo Yuan used the knife extremely fast, but he was not in a hurry, giving people a sense of flowing water, and the four unlucky mutant mice were dismembered to the ground before they got close.

Zhao Yali was shocked, even though she had heard Luo Yuan said that he had practiced martial arts, so she was already mentally prepared. But I never thought it would be so exaggerated, I was just in a trance. The four mutant mice lay down on the ground.

At this time, there was a sudden screaming sound from the bus in the distance, the whole carriage was shaking continuously, and bloodstains flew onto the window from time to time, Luo Yuan glanced at it, and looked away: "We have to hurry up , After the car... is over, more rats will hunt us down."

Zhao Yali glanced back, then covered her mouth, with a look of unbearable expression on her face: "Then...then they will all die?"

"Don't think so much? It's too late now, let's go!" Luo Yuan sighed and said. If he was alone, he would go to rescue him, but he still had Zhao Yali beside him, so he had to ensure her safety first.

Zhao Yali nodded vigorously, held Luo Yuan's hand tightly, and ran forward desperately along the road.

Perhaps it was the fresh flesh on the bus that attracted the attention of most of the mutant mice, or maybe it was because the nearby mutant mice had been plowed repeatedly by artillery fire, and there were very few left.

The two of them didn't encounter a large group of rats along the way. Even if they occasionally encountered a few mutant rats, they were killed cleanly by Luo Yuan, which seemed quite safe.

This road around the mountain is only three or four kilometers long, and the bus drove more than half of it before. The two ran for half an hour and minutes, and finally left this road of death.

The road seemed quite quiet. There were no pedestrians or vehicles along the way. The trees on both sides of the road had been cut down, and the nearby farmland showed signs of being burned on a large scale. It was a dilapidated scene.

Luo Yuan looked at the sky, the sun was setting and it was almost dusk, he turned his head and said, "Why don't you find a place to live first? It looks like the sky will get dark soon, and the night will definitely be more dangerous."

Zhao Yali held Luo Yuan's hand tightly, and nodded restlessly.

"Is there a hotel nearby?" Luo Yuan asked.

"I don't know, haven't been back for a few years? It's a bit strange." Zhao Yali thought for a while.

"Then go to the village in front!" Luo Yuan looked at the village not far away that was emitting smoke.

"That's Zhu Family Village, but where is there anyone I don't know?" Zhao Yali said.

"Go and see first." Luo Yuan said.

At this time, Zhao Yali's phone rang, and she quickly picked it up: "Mom, what's the matter?... I can't make it back today... It's a bus that broke down. We have to live in the city for a day, come over tomorrow morning."

Zhao Yali's face flushed suddenly, she turned around and said, "Well, he lives in another room, far away... Well! Got it, I'm not a child, I'm dead!"

Zhao Yali walked over calmly, this time she didn't grab Luo Yuan's hand, but avoided a little distance.

Luo Yuan knew what was going on on the phone. It was nothing more than the parents worried about their daughter's loss, but knowing that she was thin-skinned, they didn't tease her.

Zhujia Village is not big, with a total of four to five hundred households, but because it is close to the industrial area, it has brought a large number of floating population. Let the village is obviously quite rich.

The main road has almost become a commercial street, with shops everywhere on both sides. If it was in the past, this place should be very prosperous, but now, there are few pedestrians on the road, and most of the stores are closed, making it very depressed.

Luo Yuan and Zhao Yali searched for a long time, but they couldn't find a hotel that was open. The sky was getting dark gradually.

The two discussed it, chose a resident of a two-story building, and began knocking on the door.

After knocking for a few minutes, the door finally opened.

A lean man who looked to be in his forties or fifties opened a crack in the door and looked out the door vigilantly, his whole body pressed against the door so that it could be closed at any time. He seemed rather wary: "What are you doing?"

The other party spoke a dialect, Luo Yuan couldn't understand, so he took a step back and winked at Zhao Yali.

Zhao Yali also spoke in dialect: "Brother, I'm from Zhaojia Village. I was supposed to go home today, but the bus broke down today. Could you let us stay overnight and leave tomorrow morning?"

"No, why don't you live somewhere else? I don't have any vacant rooms here." Seeing that he was a local, the skinny man couldn't help but look a bit relieved, but such words obviously couldn't impress him. Recently, Zhujia Village has been in chaos, with theft, robbery, and Killing happened every day, and he didn't want to take risks.

Zhao Yali wanted to say something, but was stopped by Luo Yuan. He took out his wallet and pulled out three old people's heads: "Three hundred and one nights, plus the dinner, you should be able to see that we are not bad people."

The thin man looked at the two of them, a man and a woman. The woman was still a little coquettish and weak, with a hint of panic on her face. Although the man had a calm face, but his skin was fair and handsome, and his eyes were pure. Neither of them seemed like a bad person. Looking at the banknote in the other party's hand, he was quite moved. After thinking for a while, he said in twisted Mandarin: "Five hundred, come in if you can, or find another place if you can't?"

Luo Yuan showed a satisfied smile: "Deal!" After speaking, he took out two more cards and handed them to the other party.

The thin man took the banknotes, nodded, his face finally softened, and he opened the door: "Come in, please?"
