Dawn Of The Night

The afternoon sun shines on the ground, dyeing the sand and gravel beaches and lake beaches. Many reeds grow on the beach, and green shoots drill up out of the moist soil, adding a flourishing backdrop to this slumbering world of decaying civilization. On the shore of the lake, the wind was strong, and his body was still as cold as ice, but there was a man holding trousers and cuffs, looking along the water to fight the cold and wet wind. It seemed that this man was going to try his luck, but after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find any dead fish stranded. Although he looked disappointed, he was not discouraged, but immediately turned his attention to the green reeds by the lake. These are edible, and the taste is very refreshing. Although it doesn't have many calories, it can also add some minerals and vitamins. It's soft and crunchy after a bit of processing, much more appetizing than those evenly distributed mushy "nutrition meals". The man bent down to harvest, his slightly long bangs fell down to cover his forehead, looking very cumbersome. Further down was a pair of war-damaged black-rimmed glasses. One of the lenses was completely blurred and broken cobwebs covered the entire lens. It appears that not only does it not improve vision, but it may also interfere with retinal imaging. However, he doesn't mind that, and has no intention of ditching his glasses or cutting his hair short. The man with a somewhat shabby appearance and a picture of a dead house before the end of the day is Tran Thien, in order to survive the winter, he worked hard for 3 months on this lakeside "base". It wasn't until a few days ago that an elite team in the base brought back a batch of supplies, then he took a few days off, and it was his turn to do some simple and easy gathering tasks. The survival materials exchanged in the past three months were very limited, the food was just leftovers and a mess that the big brothers at the base had chosen and enjoyed. The color, smell, and properties of these foods are not much different from the soil, but the taste is fresh every day, salty, sour, bitter, bitter, one can't guess the ingredients, but the "delicious" is. Yes. someday. It's getting harder and harder to say. In these days, Tran Thien's taste buds have almost been butchered by the "chef" of the base, so looking at the reed buds on the ground in front of him, the instinctive reaction in his heart is that his cheeks are sour and watery. saliva. The reeds in the swamp are thick, fatty, and the crunchy sound when cut with a dagger is addictive. He was focused on this, and didn't notice an unusual string of ripples in the lake not far away. At this time, Tran Thien turned his back to the lake and intended to peel off part of the outer bark of the harvested reed shoot to reduce weight and make it easier to carry. But just as he was concentrating on this, suddenly there was a loud sound of water coming from behind him. Tran Thien instinctively felt that something was wrong, and quickly rolled on the spot, just barely avoiding a sneak attack from behind. The huge monster suddenly appeared from the lake, its violent sneak attack stirred the air, creating a disgusting wind, the sound of fingers breaking in the wind almost scratched Tran Thien's ears, and his head was almost slapped in the mud by the other person. slap on the ground. The green-gray mud-covered monster seemed stunned when it missed its target, and it paused for a moment, perhaps wondering how the bespectacled otaku who only liked to eat grass was able to dodge the quick attack. its maximum. Although temporarily saved, but Tran Thien's way of escape was embarrassing, after rolling away, his clothes were almost the same color as wet mud on the ground. His movements looked confused, but he was still agile, and he was able to escape normally in the face of a surprise attack. During the rush, Chen Shuli did not panic, and even maintained his body's coordination and stability, between tossing and turning, he gradually restored the state of using his arms and legs to walk. erect. After dodging the initial attack, the stealthy attacker didn't immediately launch the attack, which gave Tran Thi a little breath. But the other party had no intention of giving up, and one man and one beast became your stand after me, and this man's situation was immediately in jeopardy. Shocked by the ambush, his empty mind gradually became organized, trying to devote a little bit of energy to observing and analyzing the enemy. Unfortunately, the conclusions drawn are not optimistic. Judging from the energy fluctuations emanating from the beast, this was an advanced mutant being. Adrenaline spiked to the extreme, causing people to temporarily let go of fear, but it made people tense, Tran Thien Thien's heart almost jumped out of his throat, but his remaining reason constantly forced himself to calm down. calm down. High-class mutant beasts that had the absolute advantage of overwhelming strength and speed, didn't need to hide in a bone-cold lake to attack a human. Tran Thien quickly discovered that the opponent's body was a bit heavy, except that the first attack was so fast that it was difficult to react in time, but the speed after that was slowed down to the n***d eye. This allows Tran Thien to finally have a chance to "assess" the attacker's true face as he runs for his life. This is a strange beast with a reptile-like appearance three meters long, under the cover of mud, it is not difficult to see beyond the striped blue-gray skin covered with uneven hard bones. It was the armor given by natural evolution, so that the natural enemy could not easily pierce its weak points. The sharp teeth on the mutated monster's jaws drifted away from their lips, like a row of spikes pointing up to the sky. Various physical signs suggest that its genetic source may have come from crocodiles, but the shape of the skull and the position of the eye sockets. different from alligators. Other, and even stranger, are the sharp claws at the tips of its forelimbs, giving rise to five opposite fingers that look very flexible, even with some primate features. Ever since the tide of mutant monsters broke out, these fearsome creatures seemed out of nowhere, completely disrupting the inherent theory of reproduction and evolution. Without the profound rules of traditional biological theory among these alien species there is no "reproductive isolation" between different mutant species, and different genes interact, causing organisms to This dangerous and bizarre has an exponentially increasing number and species. However, in just a few decades, countless monsters have appeared on the planet. People have even given up on naming them individually, replacing them with representations of traits and appearance classes. People in front of them don't know how many times they have crossed to form such a peerless appearance. Of course, not every mutant monster is capable of damage, and some low-level species don't have a huge difference in lethality compared to regular monsters. However, Tran Thien was able to find a faint sense of energy resonance from this one, which means that this mutant monster has left the primary stage and has evolved a transition crystal nucleus. energy exchange. Compared to those elementary beasts, its strength has been measured and leaps forward. After realizing this, there was a layer of cold sweat on Tran Thien's back, the distance between dodging was almost using the agility attribute of the whole body, blowing the whistle hanging from his neck to signal for help. Even though a signal was sent, only God knows if those so-called comrades really came or not. He felt that there was not much hope, but he also did not have the heart to accept his resignation.
