Chapter 321 Chapter 321 Behemoth
The world is changing very fast.
Many people used to rely on landlines to make and receive calls when they were young, but they already had their first smartphone when they were in junior high school.
Only twenty years have passed since the first mobile phone came out, smartphones became widespread, and the Internet quickly emerged and became a trend.
The history of monster development is even faster.
It took only half a year from the first monster landing in Haicheng to the prehistoric monsters spreading to every corner of the world.
Time goes back to that day
A creature that resembled the mythical Kunpeng caused a sensation in the city and also brought endless panic to the people.
No one knows why it traveled thousands of miles to Rongcheng and then disappeared into the primeval forest without a trace.
Maybe it has something to do with the Sun Bird?
After all, some time ago, many people went to the primeval forest in the name of pilgrimage to search for traces of the sacred bird's residence.
As a result, of course, nothing was gained, but several people ignored nature's warnings and lost their lives in vain.
I am angry at their lack of fighting spirit and sad at their misfortune.
For this reason, Rongcheng residents had a lot of verbal attacks with netizens online, and both sides fought each other across the Internet.
Not only was there only one page left in the household registration book, but even the ashes of eighteen generations of ancestors had been dug up again and again.
However, the residents of Rongcheng at that time still retained some pride. Even if the divine bird was having a great time playing outside and didn't want to leave, Rongcheng was still its territory after all.
Surrounded by the biological aura of the divine bird, even if other monsters want to hunt in Rongcheng, they have to consider their own abilities first.
But now the emergence of another large carnivorous bird of prey has completely shattered this view, and also made the residents of Rongcheng, who were immersed in the glory of the past, completely wake up.
It is true that the Sun Bird's nest can deter "small" monsters, and the group of pterosaurs can only move around in the suburbs at most.
But not all creatures are afraid of losing their owner's land. Without the protection of the sacred bird, Rongcheng would be a hot commodity.
Just like a stray lion in the animal world who challenges a territorial lion, if he wins, he can occupy a fertile land and a group of lionesses in their prime, and leave behind his own offspring.
The monster code-named Kunpeng occasionally hovers in the air. It seems to regard Rongcheng as its own territory and is not afraid of the various high-tech technologies used by the government.
It is not afraid of a head-on collision.
The good news is that Kunpeng prefers to hunt monsters from the same world, which pose little threat to humans.
But just because it's not a big threat doesn't mean I don't like to eat it.
It's just too lazy to fly up and down to catch a few snacks, but if the snacks are right next to its mouth, it won't bother to enrich the taste of the food.
Who doesn't love the soft and delicious little cakes that burst with juice? No wonder those bald birds keep staring at humans.
Kunpeng turned his head and combed his hair carefully, then suddenly he looked up to the sky and let out a long roar. Immediately, an equally loud response came from the other side of the world, with a hint of affection.
The two Kunpengs expressed their love to each other through their calls. After several hours of encrypted conversation, the other Kunpeng flew over mountains, rivers, lakes and seas to Rongcheng to have a tryst with his lover.
Looking at the two birds entwining and loving each other in the air, it seemed that a little Kunpeng would be born in a few days. The residents of Rongcheng felt like the sky had fallen and their lives were in chaos.
What about the government?
Please save him quickly!
Sorry, there is nothing the government can do.
It’s not that they don’t want the residents of Rongcheng to return to a peaceful life, but they are really stretched to the limit and cannot spare too much manpower and resources.
A large number of abyssal cracks have emerged around the world, bringing with them countless prehistoric monsters and prehistoric viruses, and new diseases appear almost every day.
The human body had no resistance to these prehistoric viruses, and eight out of ten people died. The hospitals were filled with endless despair.
The situation in Rongcheng can even be considered good.
Even though the two Kunpeng lovers would occasionally catch humans as snacks, other carnivorous monsters would not dare to invade at will because of their presence.
In cities like Lincheng, Haicheng, Luocheng, and Xincheng, where deep cracks appeared, social order collapsed completely, residents fled on a large scale, and the cities almost became dead cities.
The government is so busy with these things that it has no time to manage the air traffic in Rongcheng, which is relatively safe.
As for the Sun Bird?
It’s the same old saying, there are countless monsters out there, and He can’t take care of them all.
However, for the people living in Rongcheng, there are two man-eating mountains pressing down on their heads, making it difficult for them to eat or sleep well.
Who can guarantee that they are the exception?
As the situation intensified, all primary, secondary and universities were suspended, and students and teachers could only stay at home and take online classes; most companies lost their business channels and were forced to close down, and a large number of young and middle-aged workers became unemployed; the prices of food and daily necessities continued to rise.
If the Rongcheng government had not been able to maintain order, strictly control prices, and crack down on merchants' exorbitant prices, Rongcheng would probably have become a chaotic city where the strong prey on the weak.
——Although there is already chaos now and typhoons hit from time to time, at least there is a government to maintain order, and some people with evil intentions dare not commit crimes openly.
However, this still cannot change the situation of large-scale exodus of Rongcheng residents. Anyone who is able and has some wealth has run away.
He Junxia's family is one of them.
It just so happened that Wu Leshui and Jiang Aiguo both had the idea of moving, and He Junxia easily persuaded them to settle in Nan'an City.
He had already bought the house.
Jiang Aiguo also wanted to persuade his sister and brother-in-law to leave together.
However, both of them were doctors, the government had mandatory orders, and they were worried that it would be difficult to find a job if they left Rongcheng, so they could only politely decline.
At this moment, the high-speed rail and airplanes in Rongcheng have stopped operating. Only the slow green trains are still available for purchase and are in short supply.
The wisher's aunt and uncle used their connections to barely get three tickets, and they had to change trains in He'an City first.
But it’s good to be able to buy a ticket. No matter how convenient driving is, it is not as safe as taking the train. At least there are staff along the way to drive away animals on the tracks.
“Cough cough cough…”
The carriage was packed with people, large and small bags of luggage bumped against the seats, and the heavy air was filled with countless smells.
He Junxia rubbed her nose and sneezed several times. This airtight and enclosed space is a disaster for people with a sensitive sense of smell.
Even if he had brought a mask in advance, it would have been difficult to avoid.
Wu Leshui asked with concern: "Are you okay? Is your nose uncomfortable? Come, smell this Fengyoujing."
He Junxia took the medicated oil and took a deep breath, finally calming down. He reached out and put his backpack on the luggage rack.
The family traveled light, without a suitcase, only three backpacks, and looked out of place.
He Junxia found a seat and sat down. His family happened to occupy the same row, and he sat at the outermost seat.
"Hey, young man, could you please help me put the box away?"
The young man who was stopped by the curly-haired aunt looked at the 24-inch brown and gold suitcase in her hand, and without thinking much, he stepped forward and grabbed the armrest of the suitcase and lifted it up... couldn't lift it?
The young man looked at the suitcase beside him in shock, and picked it up again in disbelief.
This time he managed to lift the box. The veins on his arms were bulging, his face was flushed red, and he almost rolled his eyes.
Help!
Is that cement in the box?!
The young man gritted his teeth and tried to lift the box and carry it on his back, but his arms were already a little weak.
Just when he was frowning and looking painful, the box in his hand suddenly became much lighter, as if there was suddenly an extra force lifting the box up.
It’s not like, it’s just that someone is helping!
The young man looked gratefully at the young man who stood up from his seat, and the two of them worked together to put the box on the storage rack. The whole process was easy and without any delay.
The curly-haired aunt thanked the two men repeatedly. The young man felt embarrassed because he didn't do anything at all and it was all thanks to the strong man next to him.
This person doesn't look like someone who exercises regularly, but he can lift things weighing dozens of kilograms at will.
Is it really because I am too weak?
The young man was in a daze and even doubted his life for a moment. Finally, he walked away dejectedly.
He Junxia, who had witnessed the whole process, touched his nose. "Sorry, brother, he is now half human and half demon."
…
Four agonizing hours passed.
The train arrived at He'an Railway Station on time, and the passengers and staff waiting on the platform were amazed.
Ever since the abyss cracks in Lincheng expanded, a large piece of land appeared inexplicably, and a group of prehistoric animals of all sizes ran out, the train tracks have often been occupied by all kinds of strange animals.
If a high-speed train collides with those monsters as tall as buildings, the only outcome will be the destruction of the train and the death of the people on board, with both sides suffering losses.
Humanity cannot afford such huge casualties.
Therefore, after several consecutive incidents of major casualties, the government completely stopped the operation of high-speed trains and only allowed the railway bureau to use low-speed green trains.
In addition, there are dedicated personnel on each section of railway who are responsible for using the latest research results of the Academy of Sciences to drive away animals and ensure the safety of trains.
But even so, there are only a few trains that can arrive on time, comparable to the lucky person who wins a five million lottery ticket.
"We're really lucky."
"Yeah, the train never stopped once."
"A few days ago, my friend was taking a train in Lecheng and encountered a group of ankylosaurs on the way. He waited for three or four hours before driving them away. I was speechless."
"Well, it's a good thing they didn't attack the train. It would have been even more troublesome if the carriages had derailed."
…
The passengers getting on and off the bus couldn't help but discuss this matter, and Wu Leshui and Jiang Aiguo also sighed several times.
Little do they know that the person who brings them luck is right next to them.
He Junxia stood up and took out the curly-haired aunt's suitcase first, then lifted it down easily with one hand, causing the young man who was hiding in the crowd and saw this scene to have a mental breakdown again.
(ㄒoㄒ)
The gap between people is bigger than that between dogs.
The sad young man left sadly, leaving behind only a sad back.
He Junxia didn't know that he had stimulated a fragile heart again. After he took his parents off the platform, he immediately rushed to the transfer passage.
The transfer time is only twenty minutes.
Fortunately and unfortunately, although their train was not delayed, the connecting train was late.
"Okay, as long as people are waiting for the bus, it's fine, but if the bus is waiting for people, it's not fine."
Wu Leshui didn't care.
When she was young, she could only travel by bus, and sometimes she would sit there for two or three days. There was no place to go to the toilet, so she had to wait until the service area.
A train delay is really not a big deal.
He Juanxia: "Mom, you and Dad want to eat something. There are noodles and boxed lunches there."
Wu Leshui: "I don't feel like eating. I'll just have a bowl of shredded pork rice noodles. I'll make do with it."
Jiang Aiguo: "I want shredded pork with green peppers and rice."
After spending some time together, the two have become accustomed to ordering their son to do things, without any of the awkwardness of ordinary parents who are unwilling to trouble or feel sorry for their children.
He Junxia also prefers this way of getting along. After all, he is not the two old people's real child.
To put it bluntly, the purpose of his coming to this small world is to let the two old people eat well and drink well and spend their old age in peace.
After eating a bowl of hot noodles and taking a mouthful of hot rice, my hungry taste buds were finally satisfied.
It seemed that the goddess of luck favored their family today. They were particularly lucky. Just after they finished lunch and filled their stomachs, the delayed train slowly came with a clanging sound.
There were fewer people on this train. After the seats were full, there were only a few people who bought stand-alone tickets, and the air was also a little fresher.
He Junxia welded the mask tightly to his face, closed his eyes and began to sleep, but in fact he was using his mental power to check the railway along the way and drive away nearby animals.
Although nothing can escape the coverage of mental power, the assistance of smell is indispensable if one wants to fully understand the situation around the train.
Therefore, He Junxia's nose will continue to suffer.
Sad.jpg
The painful time always seems to be extra long, and every minute and every second seems to be stretched to 0.5 times the speed.
So when he found someone disregarding public hygiene by taking off their shoes and crossing their legs in a public walkway, he fought back without mercy.
"ah--"
The middle-aged man who had taken off his shoes and crossed his legs suddenly cried out in pain. The tendons in his calves twitched uncontrollably, and the pain was visibly evident to the naked eye.
He quickly put his leg down and rubbed it in the direction of the twitching tendons. Miraculously, the pain went away as soon as he put his leg down.
The man breathed a sigh of relief, and the onlookers also breathed a sigh of relief for him, as long as it wasn't a sudden serious illness.
But I never thought that he only remembered the food and not the beating. After a few minutes, he crossed his legs again, and his feet, which were only wearing socks, swayed in the air in the aisle.
It smells disgusting and looks disgusting.
No quality at all!
"ah--"
A familiar exclamation was heard, and the passengers in several nearby seats silently said in their hearts, "Serves you right."
Those who are immoral should be punished by God.
As a last resort, the suffering man put his legs down again, but the pain still did not ease.
Someone kindly reminded me: "Try putting your shoes on. You might have twisted your tendon when you took them off."
Men don't quite believe it.
Can you sprain your muscles by taking off your shoes?
But the cramps were so painful that he quickly put on his shoes, thinking of giving it a try.
Oh, it’s amazing, it doesn’t hurt anymore.
The man felt the same way. Now he never dared to take off his shoes easily again. The cramps were so painful.
He looked at the kind-hearted man and said, "You are right."
He Junxia smiled and said nothing, but finally took away the medicated oil that was placed on the tip of her nose.
"Clang...Clang..."
The green train wobbled to its destination, and nothing else happened along the way.
Wu Leshui and Jiang Aiguo have a bit of superstitious habits and pay special attention to certain aspects.
When they found themselves encountering two punctual trains in a row when they left their hometown to live in other provinces and cities, they felt that this was God's guidance. Their mood immediately became better, and there were more smiles in their eyes.
He Junxia didn't think about these things.
The moment he left the car, he quickly pulled down his mask. The fresh air that rushed into his nostrils was a little cool, which sublimated his soul.
Finally arrived in Nan'an City.
