Epoch of Twilight

Luo Yuan and Zhao Yali walked slowly on the small road, and no one said a word along the way.

After a long time, Zhao Yali couldn't help but said, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

"Yes, you have to take care." Luo Yuan thought for a while and said dryly.

This man can always make people angry and hate. Although people can't wait to beat him hard, they can't really hate him.

"What else?" Zhao Yali pressed her lips, biting her lips, as if she felt a sense of revenge.

Luo Yuan was a little irritable in his heart, he gave Zhao Yali a strange look, and said, "What do you want me to say?"

Zhao Yali sighed in her heart: Yes, what are you going to say? What answer do you want to get? The relationship between the two is simple to say that they are renting friends, and it is nothing more than **** to say that it is more in-depth. In the future, they will be separated from each other, and maybe they will never see each other again. What's the point of being so entangled?

The two walked in silence, and neither of them spoke.

There was a damp cool wind blowing around, and the weather became cooler. It didn't take long for the bean-sized raindrops to fall down, and it soon turned into a torrential downpour.

Luo Yuan quickly took off his T-shirt and covered Zhao Yali's head: "Find a place to hide, it's raining too much."

"Go to the nearby factory." Zhao Yali glanced at the clothes on top of her head, feeling a little warmth in her heart.

"good!"

This is a dilapidated factory without a signboard on it. It seems that it has been closed for a long time. A rusty electric sliding door is curled up weakly at the door, and the door is wide open.

The two ran smoothly into the factory all the way, even so, each other's clothes were completely soaked.

The light green dress was tightly attached to Zhao Yali's delicate body, outlining a seductive body with bumps and convexities.

Maybe it's because it's relatively hidden here, maybe it's because of the thought that we will never see each other again, the fiery desire suddenly becomes rough like a broken river dam. I don't know who took the initiative first, the two suddenly pressed together tightly, kissed fiercely, gasped and entangled with each other, and the hot skin rubbed against each other to arouse more intense sparks.

…………

The sound of the rainstorm outside covered the sound of the two men's sex.

The rain also gradually lightened up.

Zhao Yali leaned against Luo Yuan's body, her clothes were messy.

"Will we meet again?" she asked softly.

"We will definitely meet!" Luo Yuan comforted.

can you? The world is becoming more and more chaotic, and no one knows where their future lies. The continuous evolution of mutant beasts makes Luo Yuan feel uncertain. Perhaps human technology can win in the end, but I am afraid that the whole world is full of holes and filled with gunpowder. Personal destiny, under this coming torrent like general trend, can only struggle in vain.

As soon as the rain stopped, Luo Yuan left.

Zhao Yali watched Luo Yuan walk farther and farther, gradually turning into a small dot, tears could no longer be held back and rolled down her face.

She didn't know why, but within a short period of time, Luo Yuan took root in her heart, perhaps because Luo Yuan often comforted her when she was lonely and helpless. Maybe it's Luo Yuan's peaceful sense of security along the way, or maybe it's the ecstasy of entanglement with each other.

This kind of feeling is like a hot volcano, erupting violently, and then forcibly ending.

Luo Yuan walked onto the highway, the Huanshan Road seemed to have been opened, and there were already some scattered cars on the road.

After waiting for half an hour, an empty bus finally came. He boarded the bus, found a seat at the back and sat down.

When the vehicle passed the scene of the accident on Huanshan Road, the two broken-down cars had disappeared, and there were still dark red blood stains on the road, which seemed to indicate what had happened here.

Yushui City is still in depression, without any signs of improvement, and the whole city is shrouded in panic.

Luo Yuan bought the train ticket and checked in the luggage for Zhan Madao. Looking back at the city, he resolutely boarded the train to Donghu City.

………………

The garbage dump in the east of the city is full of stench and sewage. There are countless low and dilapidated shacks and some simple iron houses crowded around. It is in stark contrast to the row upon row of bright and beautiful high-rise buildings not far away.

This is the slum of the city, and most people avoid it when they arrive here.

But now it's getting busier here.

Fifteen days after returning to Donghu City from Luo Yuan, the situation in Donghu City not only did not improve, but began to deteriorate further. Soldiers and armed police frequently appear on the street, and sometimes armored vehicles can be seen.

Gasoline, diesel and other fuels have been classified as military supplies and fully controlled. Except for some government or military vehicles, there are few other vehicles on the road.

Affected by raw materials, transportation, electricity, orders and other aspects, countless enterprises have closed down one after another. The decreasing supply of materials has caused more and more people to start to make a living by themselves. In addition, the shortage of meat and food and the continuous rising The price made some people who thought they had some force began to join the hunting business.

The garbage dump is a place where urban creatures gather. In the eyes of some creatures, this place is a huge inexhaustible granary, attracting a large number of creatures such as cats, dogs and mice to care for it.

However, after several rounds of encirclement and suppression operations by the military, there are very few large dangerous creatures such as stray dogs here, and only some elusive mice can be found.

But even so, there is a certain danger here. This kind of mutated rat is almost the size of an ordinary cat. It is extremely aggressive and has a certain amount of intelligence. It often haunts in groups. As long as it is bitten, a bloody hole will appear in its body.

Four or five mice can make a strong adult fall in a pool of blood forever. Those who can hunt here are mostly in groups of three or five, and even a dozen or so people gather together to form a team. There are very few lone rangers like Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan stepped on high-top military boots, wore a pair of coarse jeans on his lower body, and a thin coat on his upper body, which concealed the snake-scale bulletproof clothing inside. Holding a saber in his right hand, he strode towards here with great strides.

Luo Yuan is a frequent visitor here, and his force is astonishing. Most of the people here know this powerful person. When they saw him coming, many people immediately gathered around him.

"Brother Luo, please do me a favor. Can you share some of the prey with me today? My family hasn't eaten meat for several days now, and the child has always been greedy. All I need is a mouse leg. Money. Two hundred or five hundred is fine." A middle-aged man with a sad face pushed his way inside and said hastily.

This dump, because of the existence of supply and demand, has formed a lively market, and many people stay here every day to trade with those hunters. Like Luo Yuan, there are very few preys that have already been ordered before they start to get prey. Count the entire dump, but talk about a few people or teams. Most of these people are powerful figures, and many of them have guns in their hands.

Now the gun business is basically a semi-open secret, as long as there is a little bit of knowledge, you can buy a gun. Most of the few that are revealed are pistols, like powerful weapons, but they are rarely seen.

"Money is depreciating so much now that you can't buy anything with money. What is the use of money?" A fat man in a suit with a greasy face said with disdain: "I exchange grain. Five catties Grain is exchanged for a catty of meat, as much as you have, face-to-face transactions. My people are outside."

Everyone saw that there were indeed four strong men with weapons standing outside with vigilant faces, guarding more than a dozen bags of fifty catties of grain, and two of them had guns on their waists.

There were people in the crowd who recognized him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xie, if you don't start a software company, how can you start a business? The more you mess around, the more you will go back!"

"What kind of business is a software company? It can wait for a meal. What is a big business? This is the biggest business now." Xie Qifeng is not afraid of revealing business opportunities. There are more and more people doing this kind of business now. It doesn't matter. And you can't do anything without capital and connections.

"I'm not short of food, and I don't need money. I need some gasoline. I wonder if you have a connection?" Luo Yuan said.

The number of people in this garbage dump is gradually increasing, and it is already difficult to get prey. Now he needs to spend a lot of time every day looking for prey. Of course this is only one of the reasons.

Ever since he knew that the flesh and blood of mutated creatures had some strange effects, he was going to target blue-level mutated creatures. However, in Donghu City, because of the strong defense force, as soon as blue-level creatures appeared, they would soon be killed. Surrounded by the army, if you want to find it, you can only go to some remote places.

He could get a car, but nowhere to buy gasoline.

"Brother Luo, you also know that gasoline is a controlled product. Now the sea route is blocked, crude oil can't be transported, and land transportation is extremely inconvenient. Gasoline is used less and less now. I still have some at home, but it's just the price?" Fatty Xie was able to start a company before, naturally he had some connections. As soon as he talked about business, there was a shrewd look in his eyes.

Luo Yuan smiled: "As long as you can get gasoline, the price is whatever you want."

Fatty Xie's heart moved, thinking that the lion would open his mouth, but he quickly extinguished the greed in his heart. Although gasoline is very precious, there are still a lot of people, and those who have a car at home can squeeze out a little no matter how poor they are. What's more, this person in front of him is not a good person. If he is put together today, he will inevitably hold grudges in his heart in the future. Now that the social order is gradually collapsing, it is better not to offend such a person.

"Brother Luo is a straightforward person. I don't ask for prices too much. I just say a fair price, which is ten catties of grain per liter. You can inquire about the current price of gasoline on the black market. It is definitely a cheap price." Fatty Xie patted Chest and abdomen, said boldly.

"Depending on the situation, we will trade with mutant mice at that time," Luo Yuan said.

"Brother Luo, are you going to have a big fight today? Okay, I'll call now and ask someone to bring the gasoline?" Fatty Xie said happily.

The people around knew that there was no chance, so they quickly dispersed. Soon another group of people came over, and this group of people immediately surrounded them again.

After the transaction was completed, Luo Yuan went to a nearby small vendor to buy a can of beer, chose a slightly clean rock and squatted down, it was still evening, the sky had not completely darkened, and it was not yet the best time for hunting.

Mutant rats also appear during the day, but the most active ones are at night. Occasionally, if you are lucky, you may encounter a small-scale rat swarm. Every time, people will return with a rewarding experience, but this is also the most dangerous time. Several people die in one night. Ten people is really normal.

In troubled times, human life is worthless, and due to the pressure of survival, this place still attracts countless people to take risks every day.

As the sky darkened rapidly, there were more and more people, and there were people everywhere at a glance. The rustling sound gradually came from the garbage dump in the distance, and some novices who had only been here for a few days couldn't help but feel a little short of breath.

The crowd lit torches one after another, and the surrounding lights were brightly lit.

Luo Yuan did not prepare a torch. He has always had good eyesight and a keen sense. With the faint moonlight, he can roughly distinguish the terrain, which has little effect on the battle. Moreover, for him, lighting a torch would cause great hindrance during the battle.

He looked up at the sky, only to see a round full moon hanging in the sky, and even the ground was covered with a faint silver light. Today is a good day for hunting.

As the night deepened, people around slowly walked towards the garbage dump.

Soon there was a shrill scream not far away, followed by gunshots. A faint smell of blood wafted from afar.

The garbage dump has quickly turned into a place of killing, and the flesh and blood war between humans and mutant rats has once again begun.

Luo Yuan continued to sit for a while, drank the last sip of beer, threw it on the ground, and stood up.

Such things happen every day, and he has long been numb.

But today it seems that something is wrong, the battle is triggered too fast, and the screams are more frequent than before. After a while, there seems to be a commotion from the crowd not far away. There is an unconcealable panic on the face, most of them are novices who have just arrived.

Luo Yuan's heart moved, and he quickened his pace and walked forward quickly.

"Brother Luo Yuan, are you here too?" A tall young man suddenly stopped Luo Yuan.

"Well, what's going on, why are these people gone?" Luo Yuan knew this person, his name was Chen Haiyan, a feminine name. Like him, he is also a lone ranger. He should have practiced martial arts before, and his sword skills are good, and his strength is not weak. If Luo Yuan's agility is not beyond ordinary people, he may not be his opponent. However, the two of them are just acquaintances who nod, they just recognize each other.

"I encountered a rat wave. As soon as I came into contact with it, many people died. I heard that someone saw a big one?" Chen Haiyan said succinctly.

"It really is a rat wave!" Luo Yuan's heart moved at this moment: "Could it be that big guy you're talking about is the rat king?"

"It's very possible. If it wasn't like this, these people wouldn't retreat. You must know that the rat tide is rare. It is better to fight for it than to work for four or five days." Chen Haiyan glanced at the screaming garbage dump, He licked his dry lips: "I heard that a lord-level creature like the Shu King has been sold at a sky-high price. Usually, as soon as it appears, there will be an army to surround it. This time is our opportunity. I If one person can’t eat it, why don’t we get a few people to form a team and give him a shot.”

"Could it be that the effect of mutant beasts on the human body has been known? But it's not surprising to think about it. The government has strong scientific research capabilities. Obviously, someone will know about such an obvious effect soon, even if it is here. Hunter probably knows a lot." Luo Yuan thought.

He was originally planning to hunt blue-level creatures. How could he give up when he encountered an opportunity this time? Just as he was making a decision, a piece of information suddenly came to his mind.

"Optional mission, E-level mission: Hunting the Rat King, time limit is three days. You need to kill it yourself? The Rat King was killed, the mission failed (accept/cancel)"

"E-level mission, did you make a mistake?" Luo Yuan was startled and cursed secretly.

This is the first time he has received an E-level mission. Even if he killed the giant snake, it was only an F+ level. This time the task actually has an E-level.

Luo Yuan hesitated for a while, thinking of the difficulty of upgrading, he gritted his teeth and took it. Doesn't it just increase the difficulty! Just like what Chen Haiyan said, this kind of thing is rare, and the next time he encounters an E-type mission, he doesn't know when he will have to wait. With two pieces of light blue equipment, he doesn't believe that he can die in the mouth of a mouse. Down.

"Okay, let's split up and ask some trustworthy people to come over and gather here then." Luo Yuan said through gritted teeth.

"Okay!" Chen Haiyan nodded, and left vigorously.

Luo Yuan had been here for so long, so he naturally knew a lot of people, and he quickly found five of them.

These five people are a team. They used to be security guards of a certain company. They are all veterans. They are very united with each other. With mutual cooperation, they can be regarded as a strong force in this garbage dump. Luo Yuan accidentally rescued them once during a rat tide, so he was quite familiar with them.

After a while, Chen Haiyan also brought a group of people over. They all seemed to know each other, and they were all famous people here. In addition to Qian Dakui, a lone ranger, there is also a three-person team that is particularly eye-catching.

All three of them are armed with guns, none of them have cold weapons, each of them is very accurate in marksmanship, the leader is a middle-aged man named Boss Zhou, it is said that he used to be a gangster, he has a somewhat rebellious and gloomy personality, moody, and he will pull out if he disagrees with him. Guns kill people, and almost no one here usually dares to provoke them.

Luo Yuan frowned slightly, feeling a little hazy about this cooperation in his heart.

There were screams from time to time in the distance, and more and more people began to retreat!

"Everyone should know each other, time is running out, so I'll make a long story short." Chen Haiyan glanced at the noisy distance, and quickly said: "I won't talk about the value of the Mouse King, I believe many people will think about it again. "

"I don't need to talk about these nonsense, how about talking about the distribution first, so as not to cause misunderstandings then?" Qian Dakui interrupted. He is tall and burly, about two meters tall. He held a machete in one hand, and a large shield that was one meter high in the other. The shield was obviously specially made, with seven sharp blades welded on it. Once hit by such a shield, he might not be far from death.

Chen Haiyan glanced at him, a flash of anger flashed in her eyes, and she quickly returned to normal, saying: "Since we are talking about distribution, let me just say that this is the first time we have cooperated, and we are not very familiar with each other. In order to avoid friction, we It is recommended to distribute it evenly, the one who kills the Mouse King will get double, if there is no problem, we will set off immediately, so as not to be preempted by others when we get it, and we will get nothing."

Everyone has no objection. After all, this is a temporary team and they don't know each other well. Such an assignment is more appropriate.

"We accept equal distribution, but I'm going to say something ugly, if someone doesn't work hard, please let him out." Boss Zhou glanced at everyone and said darkly.

"Okay, that's all." Qian Dakui said.

Luo Yuan also nodded in agreement.

The few people brought by Luo Yuan naturally followed his example.

A total of eleven people were gathered for this operation. Although they seem to be in harmony with each other, and there is no tacit understanding between them, everyone here is considered to be a person with some strength. As soon as they walk on the garbage dump, they quickly walk forward. go.

A small group of mutated rats couldn't stop the group of people at all, and they were killed as soon as they came into contact with them.

The target this time is the rat king. In order to reduce the load, the ordinary mutant rats were completely abandoned, and no one picked them up. Seeing that they can find a bargain, some people automatically follow behind. Soon the team expanded rapidly like a snowball.
