"Xiaoran?"
Golden eyes stared at the shadow not far away, and the man standing on the ruins hesitated to speak.
However, the only response he received was the howling of the cold wind, as if the call just now was just an unrealistic illusion.
The man frowned and moved lightly, reaching the concrete wall.
However, there were only empty shadows in front of him, not even a zombie, let alone a living person.
"Did I hear it wrong? Yes, after so long, how could Xiao Ran still be alive..."
Shaking his head mockingly, the man raised his eyes and looked at the scarlet moon hanging in the sky.
The giant wings on its back spread out and flapped suddenly, lifting up the snow and dust on the ground.
The man rose into the air, like an arrow shooting out, and quickly left in the distance.
Snow was still falling, dyed red by the bloody moonlight, evenly falling on the ruins.
It wasn't until the figure in the sky completely disappeared that there was a slight friction sound under the concrete wall that the man had previously regarded as an empty space.
His blood-stained palms were clinging to the wall, and his fingers were bent, digging out five marks of varying depths.
The petite and deformed figure slowly crawled out, with a pair of red and green eyes behind the dirt-covered hair.
Staring blankly in the direction where the man disappeared, the monster-looking girl stayed there for a long time.
It wasn't until the snowflakes were about to turn her into a snowman that the girl shook her body as if waking up from a dream, and murmured like a murmur.
"Uncle Lu Yu, this time, I won't let you die easily again..."
…
Meanwhile, the Eastern Hunting Zone.
The military off-road vehicle, which had obviously been greatly modified, was driving quickly on the road. The dust raised behind the vehicle kept rolling in the cold air, like a dragon following closely.
In the well-ventilated driving seat, the driver, wrapped in thick clothes, held the steering wheel with one hand, shaking it up and down with the bumps of the car.
Although the journey was difficult, it didn't seem to affect his mood much.
After all, the cigarette butt stuck in the gap between the clothes and the windproof mask was still burning happily.
"Boss, second, and fourth are all crazy. You can actually take your time and don't have to be in such a hurry."
A hoarse voice came from the howling wind, but the speaker was not the driver of the vehicle, but came from an old radio on the passenger seat.
"[The Betrayer] has been resurrected, and the next steps must be completed quickly. I am a pragmatic pessimist, as you know."
"It can't change anything. This timeline has been destroyed..." A sigh came from the radio, "Even the World Splitter has given up here, what can your persistence change? It is destined to be in vain..."
"Let's try it. It's already terrible anyway. Even if it's in vain, I have nothing to lose."
The cigarette butts burned out in the strong wind, like fireflies that had drained their last bit of life force.
But the driver didn't seem to have any intention of spitting it out.
"Is it possible that you really plan to eliminate the alien species on the entire planet by yourself? Let's not evaluate the feasibility of this plan. Even if it succeeds, what will you gain? The human race does not have a large population anymore. The environment of this planet is The severity is no longer suitable for human survival..."
The husky voice on the radio continued, like a chattering duck.
"Ah, yes, yes, everything you said is right..."
In a very perfunctory reply, the man took some pressure off his feet and released his foot on the accelerator.
The speeding SUV slowed down and finally stopped on the side of the road.
"What, changed your mind?" came the question from the radio.
"Stop to release water..."
The man kicked open the car door without hesitation, turned his back to the wind, and unbuttoned his pants generously.
"Put out the water... At this temperature, you won't be afraid of freezing your little brother to death..." A hoarse teasing came from the radio.
The sound of dripping water soon ended.
However, just as the man shivered and was about to pick up his pants and get in the car to leave, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be more rumble in the wind.
Although he couldn't tell what was making the noise for a while, his first impression was that it was a bit not good.
"Lu Bing...what are you thinking about?" came the question from the radio, seeming to be a little impatient with the man's too long time to relieve himself.
"It seems like something is coming..."
As soon as Lu Bing murmured, a huge cloud of smoke immediately rose from the back of the off-road vehicle. The sky was full of sand mixed with countless gravels, and the black mass exploded in all directions!
A sharp scream pierced the sky, and beneath the low red moon, a giant mountain-like figure appeared out of thin air.
"Shield Claw Digu!"
As early as the moment when the movement came out, Lu Bing recognized the incoming mutated creature from the dusty shape.
But what puzzled him was that this rare mutated creature usually stayed in one place and hardly moved around. It was considered a quite well-behaved lord creature.
Why did you come out of your nest today?
"I really didn't look at the almanac when I went out, and I unexpectedly came across this thing..."
"In the apocalypse, is there still such a thing as the almanac?" mocking words came from the radio, but he quickly urged, "Aren't you going to run away?"
"Run? Where are you running?" Lu Bing asked, spitting out the cigarette butts in his mouth, taking out another cigarette from the cigarette case and lighting it, "If we don't completely solve it or shake it off, the next steps will be impossible. continue."
As if responding to Lu Bing's decision, the huge creature in the distance looked up to the sky and roared like a giant whale.
The invisible sound waves mixed with the snowflakes in the air soon formed a looming shock wave, which hit the off-road vehicle menacingly!
Just as they were about to meet him, Lu Bing calmly took out his pocket and took out a palm-sized thing.
He quickly put this thing against his chest, and in the next moment, blue plasma spurted out like spring water, completely covering his body.
"Hey, there's this good thing, where did you steal it from?"
An exclamation came from the radio, seemingly surprised that Lu Bing was able to withstand the shock wave head-on.
But it was also the last sound it made.
Lu Bing's shield did not protect the co-pilot, so the shock wave that swept over naturally shattered the old device.
When the dust settled, all that was left in the passenger seat of the off-road vehicle was a pile of sparking electronic components.
"Damn, I forgot about it..."
Cursing under his breath, Lu Bing took off the shield-generating device that was already smoking on his chest, and took out a tube of injection with a silver-gray protective shell from another pocket.
Activating factor - after injection, it can greatly awaken the virus activity in the body, thus stimulating the potential of the injected person.
Lu Bing took off the protective shell of the injection with one hand and hung it in front of his left chest.
Once the shield claws are getting closer, he will choose to inject without hesitation to increase his combat power to the highest level!
However, after waiting for a long time, the shield claws in the distance showed no sign of approaching the off-road vehicle.
"That's strange. Could it be that I'm not the target of this thing?"
Lu Bing was suspicious, but he didn't dare to be careless, so he could only stand where he was and continue to observe.
The mountain-like shield and claws seemed to have turned into statues, and they did not move after roaring.
If it weren't for the dozens of ugly tentacles on its head that were still swaying, Lu Bing might have thought, "Is this thing across the way frozen to death?"
Just when Lu Bing felt his arms were sore and wanted to change into a more comfortable position, the stiff and motionless shield claws suddenly opened his jaws and sprayed out "something" from his mouth.
Through the red moonlight, Lu Bing could barely make out the shape of the thing.
It has arms and legs, as if it were a human being.
Falling from a high altitude without any relief
Rushing and slowing down, the man fell squarely five meters in front of Lu Bing, making a dull sound.
The next second, in Lu Bing's slightly horrified eyes, the person on the ground groaned in pain, put his hands on the ground, and struggled to get up.
"Damn, it hurts me to death, your old grandmother is selling rotten pineapples! Won't you put me down gently on the ground?!"
The woman with long gray hair turned around and cursed at the huge creature behind her.
He didn't know if it was Lu Bing's misunderstanding, but he always felt that when the woman was yelling and scolding, the ugly-looking shield and claws seemed to be suppressing a smile.
The tense and terrifying atmosphere was gone, and there was only a weird embarrassment left in the cold air.
"Well……"
Lu Bing wanted to interrupt, but every time he was blocked by the woman's incessant yelling and cursing. In the end, he simply gave up, chose the most comfortable position where he could react at any time, leaned against the off-road vehicle and lit it. cigarette.
After the woman finally vented her emotions, the cigarette in Lu Bing's mouth burned to the end.
"Damn, I'm so angry..."
The woman with long gray hair turned back and looked at Lu Binglai who was leaning next to the off-road vehicle.
At the same time, Lu Bing was also carefully looking at the woman's appearance.
The two were silent for a long time, and finally Lu Bing spoke first.
"Are you? Wang Jue?"
"Are you Lu Yu?"
The woman sneered, with a sly look in her eyes.
"Well, it's not important. What's the purpose of your coming?"
As if sensing the other party's attitude, Lu Bing shrugged and said indifferently.
"What else can it be? I can help you. I heard that your three brothers resurrected him. Wang Jue said it was time, so I came."
Taking out a rubber band from her jacket pocket, the woman nonchalantly shook off the sand on it and tied her long hair back.
"Come and help me? How can I help?"
As if he heard some funny joke, the corners of Lu Bing's mouth curled up, subconsciously wanting to take another puff of cigarette.
But after smoking for a long time, I found that there was only an extinguished cigarette butt left in the corner of my mouth, so I had to spit it out angrily and cough lightly to cover up my embarrassment.
"Wang Jue said, give him a choice, and give you a choice."
While speaking, the woman reached out and touched her lower back. When she opened her palm again, there were already two small test tubes inside...
