Epoch of Twilight

The thick and low clouds covered the sky like a black curtain, and it was still in the daytime, but the light was still gray, even the sun seemed to be a little brighter.

The nuclear winter lasted longer than originally expected, and a large amount of dust permeated the Earth's near space, causing the natural purification rate of the earth to be greatly slowed down.

Ling Zhongan glanced at the position of the halo and found that it was almost approaching the evening. He could not help but speed up the pace and rushed to the cave.

The cave is twenty or thirty kilometers away from here. If it is not fast, it has not yet returned home. It is estimated that it will be until the evening.

Once in the night, it is completely a hellish world. Not only is the temperature colder and deeper, but the darkness that is as deep as the abyss is completely difficult to walk. Many people in the gathering place forget the time because they go out hunting. Since then, I have never returned.

Even if it is him, be careful not to lose your way.

The warm body was blown by the cold wind, but it was gradually cold, and it was quickly frozen. The water on the shoulders continued to leak, causing the skin on his body to be hardened and hard. If you don't wear it, you have to be cold.

Fortunately, as the super-evolutionary human being once the best, this level of cold can not affect him.

Ling Zhongan squats with the mutant beast and marches all the way. He finally rushes to the destination before the sun's glow is about to be swallowed up by the horizon.

He opened the broken iron cover that was blocked in the hole and exposed the stairs on the ground.

This piece is cut into steps by ice cubes. The inside is twisted and twisted. It reaches more than 500 meters underground. It not only digs the ice layer, but even digs through the frozen soil layer.

Compared with a few decades ago, there are very few people gathered here. Over the years, the old and the dead, the sick and dead, the missing missing, the number of people who are nearly 100, now only a dozen people.

It’s not that there are no women here. In fact, although the number of women here is not comparable to that of men, it accounts for one-third. However, after forty or fifty years have passed, no one has ever been born.

Those who can live to the present are basically evolutionary people. The genetic differences between them have formed reproductive isolation to some extent. If there is no accident, then after a hundred years, human beings will probably disappear completely.

......

Today's atmosphere is a bit dull. Almost all the people who go out hunting are empty-handed. The people here have been ignorant of meat for three days.

Of course, apart from meat, the rest of the food stored here is not so much that it will not starve to death, but most of the tender grass root tubers excavated from the frozen soil near the cave in this area are not only bitter and difficult to swallow, nor How much heat is contained, even if you eat a round belly, once in the evening, in this cold and freezing environment, it is completely a torment.

Until Ling Zhongan came with the prey, the atmosphere here was a bit warm.

Ling Zhongan laughed and threw the food: "Today, I’m lucky, Xiaohu, I’m going to handle it.”

The young man named Xiaohu quickly stood up and said with a smile on his face: "Well, boss!"

Dealing with prey is a bad thing. As the saying goes, there is no starving chef. Although it is not a chef to deal with prey, there are still many opportunities to get up and down in the process. At least the scattered ice blood can be eaten.

He picked up the body of the mutant beast, and a dirty woman in the corner, quickly stood up and followed.

This is not the Eden of mankind. The weak and strong food is the most basic law. There is a fixed companion here. It is a symbol of status. As a **** man of Ling Zhongan, he still has a fixed woman.

It’s just that the image is not flattering. Her half-face is completely torn off by the mutant beast in the previous life-and-death battle. It looks terrible.

However, the beautiful woman will be greatly discounted here. It is normal to not take a bath for several years. The thick dirt on her face has long been unable to see the original appearance.

......

The flames burned very prosperously, and a few burnt red charcoal burned with a reddish flame, occasionally firing Mars that exploded.

One look is that the layman manually creates a rough iron pot, which is placed on the stone. The broth above has a muttering sound. The heat dispels the coldness of the cave and exudes a seductive yet Rich fragrance.

A woman with good looks, sprinkled a few black mineral salts, stirred a few white broth with a spoon, and then put it in front of her mouth, blowing it a few times, not taking care of it, taking a sip, and suddenly watching Everyone's throat is loose.

"Ling brother, you can eat." She smiled at Ling Zhong An Road.

Ling Zhongan nodded with a smile and said, "The old rules, whoever hunted half of the prey, the other half."

Of course, as the boss here, other people have to hunt for prey, or have a filial piety.

He said, he picked up a wooden bowl of sea in his left hand, took the spoon in his right hand, picked the large meat pieces of meat and fat, put them into the bowl one by one, filled the bowl of the sea, and then filled the soup.

When he finished, the rest of the talents couldn't wait to hold the empty bowl and scraped it up.

Although the scene looks confusing, it is carefully distinguished and comes with some sort of default order.

There is not much boiled meat. After Ling Zhongan is divided into half, each person can also get a few meats, but the broth is enough.

The hot meat piece accompanied by the soft broth, rolled down the stomach in the throat, a warmth from the stomach, the body could not help but see a little sweat.

Ling Zhongan divided some of the meat into two women, and the rest was wrapped up by him. A few pounds of meat was filled into the abdomen. The feeling of fullness gave him a sense of satisfaction.

......

Sleep well all night.

The next morning, Ling Zhongan, who was carrying two women, was not prepared to get up early.

Today, the rest of the people do not have much desire to go out hunting. The half-ton of meat that Ling Zhongan brought back can be eaten for more than a month. Even if everyone is very few, but with the roots and tubers, it is enough to survive.

"How suddenly shocked." This evolutionary, who is extremely sensitive to volatility, suddenly opened his eyes from his sleep and was full of vigilance.

The rest of the people couldn't sleep anymore, and they opened their hides and stood up. Those who are not vigilant in the last days are not living now, let alone the volcano hundreds of kilometers away, and there is clearly a sign of recovery recently, which is unwarranted.

"Boss, let me go and see!" Xiaohu's clever way.

"No, go together!" Ling Zhongan walked out of the cave first. A group of people followed the stairs and walked outside. If there was an earthquake, it would be a long life to stay in the ground.

The vibration became more and more obvious. It seemed to be far and near, with a certain rhythm, as if there was a mountain, coming towards this side.

When I got to the middle of the road, everyone had roughly guessed what was causing it.

"Forget it, go back, it should be the eight-level behemoth, wait for it to pass." Ling Zhongan said, there is power in the tone, and there is a loss.

"It’s this **** beast!" The crowd was a mess.

This is a terrible behemoth shaped like a skull. I don’t know why. In the past few decades, I have been wandering around this area almost every other year. In the beginning, it was more than a dozen meters tall. The level is about seven, and Ling Zhongan used it as a prey at that time and was eager to try. But every time it is not because the distance is too far, it is to worry about the injury and give up.

When he made up his mind, this behemoth has become an eighth-class creature.

The huge size of forty or fifty meters and the golden hairs that glow in the dark are enough to make anyone daunting. Such creatures are already at the top of the earth's food chain.
