Epoch of Twilight

The night is like water!

On the side of the sea-crossing bridge, the sea breeze is blowing, carrying a hint of dampness.

There was the sound of "squeaking" water in the distance. It was faintly there before, but now it is already a little noisy. It seems that there is a huge tide rushing towards this side with an amazing momentum. Even the sky seems to be It began to rain lightly.

Luo Yuan touched his face, feeling a little wet.

A few minutes later, he vaguely saw a huge shadow, which was walking along the Haihe River at an extremely astonishing speed, stirring up waves tens of meters high.

The shallow Haihe River is far from being able to submerge its body. Huge stone-like limbs are violently churning in the sea water. As it advances at high speed, this Haihe River, which is several kilometers wide, fluctuates and waves The sea water violently washed to both sides.

It wasn't until it approached the sea that Luo Yuan really saw its figure clearly.

Unlike the monitor lizard, its mutation is not serious. Luo Yuan can see its prototype at a glance. This is undoubtedly a mutant sea turtle, but it is quite huge, with a diameter of 30 to 40 meters. In comparison, the monitor lizard is like an inconspicuous little dot.

The dark gray turtle shell is covered with rough blunt horns, and these blunt horns glow faintly in the dark. Compared with ordinary sea turtles, its neck looks long and thick, its head looks deformed, its mouth is wide, and its fangs The teeth are densely covered, and it looks extremely ferocious. Compared with this docile turtle, this is obviously a terrifying beast.

Luo Yuan held his breath, just glanced at it, then quickly withdrew his gaze, with an ugly expression on his face. Even though the creature was still far away, he could still feel the heavy and oppressive atmosphere. He looked back at the position of the monitor lizard hundreds of meters away.

It had already shrunk in the corner, it seemed to be an illusion, he even vaguely felt that the monitor lizard was trembling slightly.

At this time, there was a loud "boom" not far away.

The sea-crossing bridge swayed violently, and the steel cables as thick as an adult's arm were twisted under the terrifying force, making unbearable groans, and then the steel cables broke one after another, carrying terrifying kinetic energy, across the silent night sky at high speed , making a creepy scream, the next moment more than a dozen sections of the bridge collapsed like dominoes.

Luo Yuan was shocked, and ignored the violent shaking of the bridge. He grabbed the violent guardrail and looked down quickly. A thick pier was regarded as an inconspicuous obstacle in the progress of the giant beast, and it hit it effortlessly. Fall, fall apart.

His face was horrified. The pier of this kind of sea-crossing bridge is extremely strong. If you want to knock it down, ordinary ships are powerless.

He thought it was a light green creature before, but now he is a little uncertain.

Luo Yuan has far little understanding of marine life, and has no concept of its situation, but what is certain is that the strength of marine life is far stronger than that of terrestrial life, and the competition is even fiercer.

In the land of China before the end of the world, except for some special protected areas and virgin forests, there are basically few large-scale creatures. Let alone cities, even in rural areas, there were still medium and large creatures such as wolves and wild boars in the mountains in the 1970s and 1980s. Before the end of the world, it has long since disappeared without a trace, and even rabbits are hard to see.

Only domestic animals and pets can survive in this country on the tip of the tongue, but in the last days, they were massacred before they could mutate. However, most of today's large creatures are mostly small creatures through mutation. Even so, human beings are retreating steadily, not to mention those sea creatures that are originally huge.

After the giant tortoise crossed the sea-crossing bridge, it still did not stop and continued on its way.

A few minutes later, until it gradually disappeared from sight, Luo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it left, otherwise, he would have to evacuate overnight.

He touched his forehead, and unknowingly it was already covered with sweat, and his body seemed to be exhausted, his whole body was weak, and there was a trace of bitterness on his face. Let alone fighting, such a creature would still be able to stand near it. A kind of torment, not knowing how other people in the fortifications hundreds of meters away will react, I am afraid it will not be much better than him now.

However, he had some doubts in his heart. The most suitable environment for marine life is naturally the ocean. What is this giant beast doing here?

Of course, during the flood season, here is also the sea, but now most of the area here is tidal flats, and even the largest sea river here cannot accommodate such a huge creature.

And from the perspective of evolution, the first batch of creatures in the ocean to land were the losers in the cruel competition, but with their strength, they should not be weak in the ocean, and they are not at all weak enough to mix with land. the point.

The strong doubt made him have the urge to follow the past.

He looked at the time, and it was not yet one o'clock in the morning. He hesitated for a while, feeling that there should be no danger in following far away, so he quickly ran towards the shore.

The two sides of the cross-sea bridge are almost forests, but because of the saline-alkali land here, it seems a bit sparse. Fist-sized insects that look like fireflies are flying non-stop in the forest, and some glowing lights in the distance Plants embellish this place in a bizarre way.

Luo Yuan ran at a high speed in the woods, from time to time, the rabbit would rise and fall, nimble like a monkey in the jungle, and the woods on both sides swished back.

Half an hour later, he climbed up the big tree and looked into the distance.

...

In the cloudy sky, there was rarely a blurry full moon.

It is less than three kilometers away from the giant tortoise. It has left the Haihe River and climbed onto the beach in the cold night, surrounded by silence. All creatures try their best to hide themselves under this oppressive atmosphere, even at night. The chirping of insects was also frightened to be as quiet as a chilling cicada.

Luo Yuan held his breath, his body motionless like a rock.

The giant tortoise stopped when it stepped onto a high ground. With its huge and ferocious head, it looked around, as if it was wary of something. When its cold eyes swept towards Luo Yuan, it moved slightly. paused.

Stared coldly by those torch-like eyes in the darkness, Luo Yuan felt his scalp explode, his heart skipped a beat, and he almost turned around and ran away.

Fortunately, it quickly turned its gaze away and continued to look elsewhere.

Luo Yuan's chest heaved violently, trying his best to control the fear in his heart.

At that moment, he clearly felt that he had been discovered by it, and his method of hiding his breath was invisible in front of this kind of creature, but it didn't seem to care about his own existence. It's just an inconspicuous little bug.

Just when Luo Yuan didn't know whether to leave or stay here, the giant tortoise began to move its limbs. It was like a super excavator, and the ground quickly dug out a hole more than 40 to 50 meters wide and I don't know how deep it was. After a few minutes, it stopped.

The body was lying on it, motionless, and the tail was tightly attached to the pothole.

Could it be...

Luo Yuan's heart moved, and sure enough, it quickly verified its guess. The giant tortoise snorted, and there seemed to be a hint of pain in the voice. After a long time, it stood up slowly, its limbs continued to move, driving a lot The silt buried the potholes deeply.

After doing all this, it didn't leave immediately, and continued to scan around, this time looking more carefully, over and over again for a few minutes, and then, under Luo Yuan's terrified gaze, slowly Walking slowly towards the Haihe River, it looked very weak, and its body was a little shaky.

If it is an ordinary light green creature, maybe this is the best opportunity, but facing this sea creature whose level is difficult to determine, he can't think of it at all.

It walked into the Haihe River, and under the hazy moonlight, it quickly disappeared slowly along the direction it came from.

Luo Yuan continued to hide in the tree without moving. After half an hour, when there was no more sound from a distance, he jumped off the tree and quickly ran towards the shore.

A few minutes later, he walked to the high ground. Even though the giant tortoise had left far away, its aura still lingered here, but this aura was nothing to Luo Yuan's 15-point willpower.

This pothole was as big as three basketball courts, and he didn't know where it was. Luo Yuan stood on the ground and sensed it, and was overjoyed. It came here far away from the ocean, and it really came to lay eggs.

The only pity is that there is only one, but it is normal to think about it. In nature, the stronger the creature, the harder it is to reproduce, and the weaker the creature, the more unlimited it is to reproduce. Like sea turtles before the end of the world, there are hundreds of eggs in a nest, and the entire ocean may be occupied by them.

It's a pity that he doesn't have the right tools. A knife is fine for killing people, but digging holes is not good, so he can only use his hands.

He put his knife in the side, stood in the middle of the mud, and began to dig the hole with his hands.

This place is full of soft silt, it is not difficult to dig, and because the giant tortoise just came, the mutated creatures in the silt fled here one after another due to this terrifying breath, and some of them who had no time to escape were also shocked by the breath of the giant tortoise He was in a state of stiffness for a long time, and he hadn't recovered from it until now, and there was no danger at all.

But the thing inside is really too deep, almost twenty meters deep, if you want to dig it out, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep today, Luo Yuan secretly thought, but he obviously overestimated his ability to dig a hole

Digging a hole more than 20 meters deep, especially in this kind of soft tidal flat, is obviously impossible to dig vertically, otherwise it will wait to be buried, and the egg is more than two meters high, and the surface seems to be covered with parcels. Covered with a thick layer of transparent material, the entire body is more than five meters in size. If the hole is too small, it will not only collapse, but also cannot be taken out at all.

There is no room for trickery, and we can only dig the hole according to the size of the giant tortoise. This is undoubtedly a huge project.

Luo Yuan only dug for half an hour, and he was a little frustrated. Looking at the hole more than one meter wide and half a meter deep, he smiled wryly in his heart. At this pace, he might not be able to finish digging without sleep for three days and three nights. If it rains in the middle, it will start all over again.

At this moment, he was taken aback!

I'm really dizzy, why dig by myself, isn't there monitor lizards? Although they are not as good as giant tortoises, it probably won't take long for monitor lizards.
