Chapter 253: Rejected

When they walked closer, everyone discovered that this was a huge lighthouse, about fifty or sixty meters high, and there were still several in the distance, so its function was naturally not to guide the direction.

It emits a dazzling light, and it looks like a small sun in the dark, illuminating the entire nearby area as bright as day.

Attracted by the light source, countless mutant insects gathered densely near the lighthouse, and were then shot down to the ground by huge electric arcs that exploded from time to time.

The foundation of the lighthouse has long been completely covered by insect corpses. Even when Luo Yuan and his group crossed the lighthouse, in just over ten minutes, the corpses on the ground have almost increased by 30 to 40 centimeters. I am afraid that by dawn tomorrow, the lighthouse will be completely buried by the corpses.

This lighthouse is like a huge insect vacuum cleaner, almost sweeping away all the nearby insects. Luo Yuan rarely saw insects on the road afterwards.

After passing three lighthouses one after another, the outline of the city gradually appeared in front of you.

This is a dark city. It is almost eight o'clock in the evening. The night is already rich, but the city in the distance has no light at all and is completely immersed in the darkness. If it weren't for the large number of chimneys like forests in front of them that spew out a lot of thick smoke, the group would have thought the city had fallen.

The air was filled with a pungent industrial odor, a little sour and choking. These odors seemed to be more intense and pungent than before the end of the world. This made the nose and lungs, which had become a little spoiled by the fresh air, very uncomfortable, and many people couldn't help coughing.

These industrial exhaust gases may not be treated much and are discharged into the air.

But at this moment, even the extreme environmentalists would rush to shout long live industry. At least many of them were sucking their noses from time to time and looking intoxicated.

...

"What's there? Is the wall?" Luo Yuan asked curiously, pointing to the shadows around the city.

Company Commander Xia did not have as good eyesight as Luo Yuan, but he also knew what he asked: "This is a carnivorous vine. This thing is quite dangerous and can prey like an animal. We usually use it as a wall here, which is better than a real wall. Although it cannot prevent those large mutant beasts, it can prevent some small mutant beasts from entering."

This carnivorous vine is about five meters high, with big mouths like flowers on it, opening and closing from time to time, emitting a sweet fragrance that attracts the prey to approach. After the end of the world, this type of plant was not uncommon. Luo Yuan had seen no less than ten kinds of species along the way, but he still took a few glances with some surprises.

The group of people circled around and found the door. It was a huge wooden door that was six meters high and five meters wide. At this time, the wooden door was closed tightly. As soon as the group walked to the door, a hidden speaker made a sound.

"Everyone stops, who are you, what unit are you?"

"We are survivors from outside!" Luo Yuan shouted without wanting to cause trouble.

The voice opposite was stunned for a few seconds, and then said, "Please point at the camera to show your pass, and stay in place for inspection."

Luo Yuan glanced at it and found several cameras. He jumped off the giant lizard, took out his ID and shook it, and then waited patiently. The efficiency of the sentry at the door was very high. After half a minute, the door slowly opened.

A team of four soldiers walked out in full arms.

One of them carefully checked the pass that Luo Yuan handed over, looked up at Luo Yuan: "This is yours, what about the others? Everyone comes down to check."

Maybe Luo Yuan felt a little uncomfortable with the usual tough and commanding tone of the law enforcement officer of the other party, but it quickly stretched out. He reminded himself that this place was no longer a wilderness, but a reconstruction area. Not everyone would act according to his expression, and he had to adapt.

Everyone had to come down, take out their IDs, and wait for everyone to compare the photos of their IDs one by one. The person said again: "There is no problem with the IDs, but unfortunately, there are no survivors coming to our Motu City for nearly two months, so the service center has been cancelled and all the work cannot be carried out. You may not be able to enter the city today, so you can only wait for tomorrow."

"What did you say? We have been here from afar and we have arrived at the door. Do we have to sleep outside for one night?" Before Luo Yuan could speak, Lin Xiaoji couldn't help but say, with an angry face, and the others also looked ugly.

"I'm really sorry, there is nothing we can do about it, especially the most important quarantine work at night cannot be carried out. For the safety of Motu City, we cannot let you in." The soldier said with a serious face.

Lin Xiaoji wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Luo Yuan: "Don't say it, let's stay outside for one night!"

"Thank you for understanding!" the soldier said with a cold face.

The door slowly closed again. Looking at the city in the darkness in front of me, my originally excited mood became a little dull.

The group retreated for hundreds of meters and chose a relatively flat place as the campsite tonight. Then they picked up some dry firewood nearby and lit the bonfire.

The atmosphere of the group was a little dull, and even Luo Yuan's face was a little gloomy. He also understood that these were necessary procedures. They were always in the wild, and they might have unknown bacteria on their bodies, so it was impossible for them to enter directly. But understanding was the same thing, but when it really happened to them, it made people feel particularly unhappy.

After chatting for a few words, everyone thought about their own thoughts. Tomorrow we will enter the reconstruction area, and many things that we don’t need to consider in normal times should be considered carefully.

For example, work, life!

These two ordinary words before the end of the world are so beautiful now that it makes people intoxicated if you think about it.

He is just a character in the novel. For most people, being tired of war is the common idea. After all, life is only once, and people always seek stability. At this time, the city not far away is so peaceful and peaceful. Even outside the city, it is difficult to find a mutant beast. It seems that there are two worlds here and outside, one is heaven and the other is hell.

Here they don’t need to take risks or be worried! They can even go to work and get off work on time as before, which is a luxury that I thought about before.

The moon is very round today, and the bright moonlight emits a charming halo. Luo Yuan can no longer remember what day it is today, nor do he know whether it is summer or autumn now. He always feels that it has been a long time since the end of the world, and he is almost forgotten.

At this time, Luo Yuan frowned slightly and came back to his senses from his discrete thoughts.

The ground was slight vibration, accompanied by a slight friction sound. The next moment, the sound of buildings collapsed and people screamed. He stood up and looked into the distance.

The sound seemed to be similar to the desert worm I encountered before.

"What's wrong with Luo Yuan?" Seeing Luo Yuan suddenly stand up, Huang Jiahui asked in confusion.

Everyone didn’t have the keen hearing of Luo Yuan, and they didn’t know what was going on!

Luo Yuan shook his head and said, "It's okay!"

It is too far from where it happened, and the insects are elusive, and even if he rushes over, it will be useless. Moreover, this city cannot be without defensive power.

The sound of building collapse came from time to time, and cries and screams were almost connected. The hysterical screams, even though they were separated by several kilometers, Luo Yuan could still feel the fear and despair of those people.

The city's defense system is very efficient. In just a few minutes, gunfire and cannons sounded, and after the air was diluted, it became dull and weak.
