implication [end times]

The road to the main city is not smooth.Due to years of disrepair, the asphalt road built nearly a hundred years ago has cracked many spider-like gaps.Sand and gravel are piled in the cracks of different widths, and weeds grow in disorder, showing vigorous and wanton vitality in the barrenness and decay.

Of course, the most vital things around here are definitely not the weeds in the crevices of the rocks, but the mutated monsters that seem to never be killed.

In less than half an hour after driving out, he was already being chased and intercepted by mutated sparrows, wild dogs, and foxes.Ran Yu's attitude towards this is to step on the accelerator to the end, and he is very confident in the quality of the car he modified.The windshield was sprayed with layers of red and green blood, and the wipers swung back and forth, spreading the mixed yellow slime evenly on the glass like a wall.Looking outside through the dim yellow glass, it's like looking at the world after a sandstorm.

Mutated animals are easy to recognize.It seems that in order to make it easier to prey on humans, no matter whether the infected animals were originally herbivores or carnivores, most of them will grow densely packed sharp teeth, and their bodies will swell up as if they were filled with water, and a layer of fine hair covering the whole body will grow. scales.

Their eyes are red and they have a keen sense of smell. When they smell a little human, they will rush to bite them regardless of their own safety.Only when their stomachs are unbearably hungry and they can't eat people will they settle for the next best thing and eat other kinds of animals reluctantly.

Of course, when encountering an animal that is too large, it is not easy to step on the accelerator, and it is easy to roll over.Just like now, a cow about two meters high is blocking the middle of the road, so Ran Yu had to stop.

They were passing by a river, and the other side was rocky and earthy slopes. There was only one narrow road, and the cow was blocking the middle of the road.There is a straight road behind, and it is not cost-effective to reverse the car and turn around.There is a fork in front of the road hidden behind the earth slope, but it is a pity that it cannot be crossed.

"This cow looks good. It looks upright. Its nose is nose and eyes are eyes. At least it's not as disgusting as before." He Rongsheng took out a gun from his waist and commented, "But the shell looks very hard. I don't know if it can Can't be pierced."

Ran Yu looked up and down at this very strong cow blocking the way, nodded and said: "The meat looks good, I hope it is red blood, then we can eat roast beef today."

The head of this cow still basically retains the appearance of a cow, with a rectangular face and a big nose, but the horns on the top of the head are longer and sharper, and the neat teeth that belonged to herbivores have become uneven like a crocodile.There are two gill-like hard bones on both sides of its mouth trembling from time to time, and the dark brown shiny carapace of arthropods is all over its body.Its tail is slender, raised high like a scorpion, with a row of serrated venomous thorns growing on the edge of the tail.

The bull had already assumed an attacking stance, with its head lowered and its sharp long horns aimed at the car body, its nose humming continuously, its cheeks puffed up and down again.If the people in the car do not get off, it is very likely that even the people and the car will be overturned.Without hesitation, Ran Yu and He Rongsheng immediately picked up their weapons and got out of the car.

Although this mutated cow looks tall and terrifying, the two people who have lived outside the city for 20 years and are about to take the city entrance examination did not grow up vegetarian.

He Rongsheng said in a low voice: "I'll attract its attention, you go around behind it and sneak up, watch out for your tail."

Ran Yu nodded, and was about to leave, but saw that the big bull didn't rush up immediately, but let out a long cry of "moo--", its thick hooves were raised in the air and then stomped hard on the ground, stirring up layers of dust.

Dull and chaotic noises came from behind the soil slope on the right, fine sand and stones began to fall down, and "moo" sounded like echoes one after another.The louder and louder cries and the sound of hoofs landing shook the earth slope even more, and the sand and stones hit Ran Yu and He Rong's heads and faces. They had no time to block them, they could only hold their weapons tightly and stand back to back, waiting for the battle.

The two of them were surrounded by a large group of mutant cows with horns on their heads, panting heavily and red eyes.

Surrounded by so many huge cows, it is absolutely impossible to break out by driving. Instead, you can only bind your hands and feet and be trapped in it.Now they can only choose to abandon the car and go out like a gamble.

At this critical moment when we were under siege, Ran Yu suddenly said: "To prepare for the exam, we are exercising our muscles every day, using our brains to memorize books, and eating a lot of nutritious food."

He Rongsheng held a gun in his right hand and a knife in his left.His vest was soaked in cold sweat, but he still said firmly: "That's right, so we must not give up hope. Even if we die, we must wait until the exam is over before dying! Otherwise, all the hard work for so long will be in vain."

Ran Yu sighed: "I just want to say that our meat must be very fresh and tender, and they are lucky today."

"..."

"Both roads are blocked, jump into the river?" Ran Yu asked.

"agree."

While speaking, the group of mutated cows rushed over impatiently.As if they were irritated by seeing the red cloth in the Colosseum, they snorted loudly with white foam in their throats, sprayed heavy hot air from their noses, and trampled on the gravel road with their hooves to create a cloudy gray mist.

A gray mist filled the air, and Lou Yue took out a moon-white handkerchief from his dark green uniform pocket, and covered his mouth and nose.

The city lord took off his blood-stained coat, and took the towel handed by his subordinate to wipe the sweat and dust off his face.The staff of the hunting ground quickly lifted the carcass of a mutated cow covered in cuts and bruises to the ground.

Director Feng of the Military Control Department clapped his hands and said, "The city lord is more handsome than he was back then! Unlike the rest of us, we are all old bones now."

The lord of the main city of Aibo is in his early fifties this year, with a square face and hooked nose, and a pair of energetic eyes under thick eyebrows.These eyes are full of ambition and desire for power, surrounded by wrinkles like dry water channels. When people look directly at these eyes, they will probably feel like young fish suffocated due to lack of water. flopping in vain.

When the city lord smiled, his eyes did not move, but the dry waterways seemed more dense: "Old Feng is humble, you are now a mature man."

Minister Feng's smile brought a lot of ruts on his face: "If you talk about the high-spiritedness of the middle-aged, it can't compare with the young people now."

The smile between the city lord's lips and teeth disappeared. He stretched out his hand and patted Minister Feng's shoulder, and his voice suddenly sank: "Captain Lou, don't you want to explain what happened yesterday?"

Lou Yue folded the handkerchief and put it back in his chest pocket: "Law enforcement as usual, nothing unusual."

Minister Feng said with a smile: "Extorting a confession by torture can't be regarded as normal law enforcement, right? Or is this normal for Captain Lou?"

The city lord had been facing Lou Yue sideways before, but when he heard the words, he turned around and looked at Lou Yue, his lowered brows showed his displeasure: "The inspector team can flout the "Law of the Main City"? Who gave you the power? "

Lou Yue lowered his head and didn't speak, and Minister Feng didn't speak in this extremely low air pressure, just waiting for the next move of the city lord.

The city lord's mind is definitely not that easy to guess. If he guesses wrong, he may destroy his future. Even as his long-standing subordinate with deep friendship, Minister Feng dare not make a mistake-the incident of suing behind the back has already happened once, if If you chase after someone face to face, it is easy to get angry.

"Lou Yue," the city lord finally spoke, and it was no longer Captain Lou who called, "You stay, and the others go back first."

After Minister Feng and other accompanying officials left, Lou Yue reported in detail the process of investigating Feng Haotian's cause, but the city lord's frown did not relax.

"You have gone too far," said the city lord, "without consideration."

"Yes."

"Let's go, let's have a meal together. You have been checking this association for a while, and heard from the adjutant that you often forget to eat and sleep."

"Thank you, the city lord, I won't eat the meal. Feng Haotian's case has not been finished yet, and it may involve tomorrow's entrance exam. I want to go and have a look."

The city lord smiled, and this time there was a little smile in his eyes, but this slight smile made him look more majestic: "Are you angry with me?"

Lou Yue paused, remained silent for a while, and said, "Okay...Father."

"Sister Ye, you came at the right time... Oh no, why did you leave the city?"

Just when He Rongsheng and Ran Yu were surrounded by crowds, and the car was trampled and scrapped by bulls, an armored car turned up at the fork ahead, and Zhan Yiye led a group of younger brothers carrying large-caliber sniper guns to descend like magic soldiers. First, he threw a few induction bombs to lure most of the mutated cows away, and then used bullets to hit the firepower to deal with the remaining diehards, and successfully snatched people from the cows.

The armored vehicle is well-equipped, and besides the heavily armed Zhan Yiye and others, there are also many young people carrying large and small luggage. At this time, they are gathering together in twos and threes, chatting about something.

Both He Rongsheng and Ran Yu suffered minor injuries in the breakout just now, and before He Rongsheng finished bandaging himself, he excitedly went to talk to his acquaintance Zhan Yiye.Zhan Yiye's house was a spot that He Rongsheng often visited on the delivery line of the post office, and the two of them knew each other well.

"I was seconded to pick up the candidates. Isn't the exam tomorrow? The Security Bureau has detected a group of powerful mutant beasts nearby. Let us come out to meet them."

"It's so sweet," He Rongsheng said, "How was life in the city this year, Sister Ye? Come and share, isn't it great?"

Zhan Yiye twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "It's hard to say, you'll know when you go in."

He Rongsheng had just been rescued suddenly after a fierce battle, and when he was in high spirits, he didn't notice Zhan Yiye's tone, and said to himself: "But if you were born in the city, you will definitely not be as powerful as you. They The life is too good, but the ability must not be enough. Our family members say that many people in the city have a lot of minds, but they can count people."

"Except for humming." Ran Yu, who had never spoken or had any sense of presence, made a sound.

He Rongsheng turned his head and saw that Ran Yu was crouching in a corner dealing with the wound alone.He added helplessly: "Well, except for your pen pal. He is the best person in the world."

When he turned his head to continue chatting with Sister Ye, he found that Sister Ye had a strange expression.Not only Zhan Yiye, but also many people in the car who were chatting with luggage bags looked at him.

He Rongsheng didn't understand why, but Zhan Yiye quickly calmed down, coughed lightly, and changed the subject: "Why is your friend hiding in a corner by himself?"

"He doesn't like to hang out with people, unlike me." He Rongsheng said with a chuckle, "By the way, Sister Ye, if we enter the city, do you have any experiences that you can pass on to others?"

This question is easy to answer.Zhan Yiye breathed a sigh of relief, and said without hesitation: "I have a piece of advice, stay away from inspectors, especially Lou Yue."
