The blood and flesh that had been all over the floor two days ago had been cleaned, but Luo Yuan could still smell its faint odor.
Dinner had been prepared and placed on the table. Luo Yuan put down his Zhanmadao and took a seat.
His rice bowl had been filled just in time. He was famished. He grabbed a pair of chopsticks, picked up a mutated beast internal organ and devoured it.
These days, his appetite had been increasing thanks to his intense training. His previously stagnant strength had slowly been rising. On the whole, 13-point Energy was the human limit. Even if someone were to undergo intense training, they would still not reach that level of power.
This had nothing to do with talent or different training techniques. It was all about body size.
If a 75 kg man and a 150 kg man underwent the same training, their strength and power would vary greatly, and most of that difference would be because of their weight. For someone with Luo Yuan’s body, 12-point Strength was pretty close to the limit, regardless of how many methods they used to surpass it.
The reason for such growth was the evolution process.
Shortly after he had started eating, a few sheets of paper drifted in through the open doorway.
”The wind blew them in,” Wang Shi Shi said plainly.
Luo Yuan took a look and discovered that the papers looked new, as if they had just been printed. They did not look like waste papers that had simply been wafted in by a gust of wind. Puzzled, he put down his rice bowl, walked over and picked one up. His face suddenly changed. ”They’re flyers!”
“What kind of flyers?” Huang Jiahui asked.
“Take a look!” Luo Yuan handed it over.
“Announcement to all Chinese citizens!
Our fellow countrymen, the current situation is becoming increasingly serious. The central government has no choice but to temporarily abandon all central-east districts within the capital and proceed to a nationwide retreat. This is the only way to preserve mankind’s strength and avoid a greater loss for the future of the human race. The government is unable to dispatch any more manpower to fallen areas for search and rescue.
If there are any lucky survivors reading these flyers, please spread the news and consider them thoroughly!
The National Emergency Committee”
Huang Jiahui read each word carefully, her face turning pale.
Luo Yuan picked up another flyer and read it carefully. On its back was a picture of the world map, marked with a variety of colors. Most of the regions had been painted black, and some areas had been marked with red. Only the West, with its low population and inhabitable climate, had been marked yellow.
The whole Jiangnan Province was black. A fallen zone.
As if he had suddenly thought of something, Huo Dong ran excitedly towards the doorway and shouted, “A plane! The flyers must have been distributed by plane!”
Luo Yuan was startled, but he quickly ran out and joined Huo Dong.
A silver-white dot could be seen hovering in the sky while stacks of flyers were flying everywhere.
”Here! We’re here! There are survivors here!” Huo Dong shouted, waving his hands like crazy.
Soon everyone started shouting until their voices went hoarse.
“They can’t hear us, let’s use smoke! Chen Xianfeng, go to the basement and bring out the diesel!” Luo Yuan shouted.
”It’s useless! What if it’s an unmanned aircraft?” Huang Jiahui could not help but say.
Everyone seemed to not have heard her. Chen Xianfeng quickly ran to the storage room and brought out a bucket of diesel. Luo Yuan took it from him, unscrewed the cap, poured a large amount onto the ground, and lit it up. When it did not produce the thick smoke that he had wanted it to, Luo Yuan shouted, ”Get some wet firewood!”
When the firewood was thrown in, a thick dark smoke started to rise.
They stood in silence for a long time, watching the smoke billow towards the sky.
At night, Luo Yuan tossed and turned. He just could not seem to fall asleep. The black markings of death on the flyers kept flashing in his mind, causing him stress and insomnia.
The city had gradually been shrouded in green. As long as there was a tiny bit of soil, plants grew at an alarming speed. Many areas had turned into jungle, where plants grew vigorously. Grass had also begun to emerge in between the cracks of the concrete floor.
