Desperate Night

Bang bang bang.

Bang bang bang.

Urgent knocks on the door kept coming.

Yu Hong was packing things in the basement when he suddenly heard the door of the safe house being banged.

He quickly went up to the first floor and saw Li Runshan standing at the door from the viewing window with the shutter open, patting the door impatiently.

He approached but didn't open the door immediately.

Instead, he knocked back a few times according to the code as a reminder.

Immediately, Li Runshan quickly changed to a rhythmic one, three, one knock on the door.

This was also the password they had just agreed upon to verify their identity.

After confirming that the password was correct, Yu Hong breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong with Lao Li?"

He checked the silver talisman array behind the door, but there was no response either, so he opened the door and let Li Runshan in.

"We're in trouble!" Li Runshan rushed in quickly, looking ugly.

The strange thing is that when the door of the cave safe house closed, at that moment, some indescribable coldness behind him suddenly disappeared, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Hoo, ho!

Li Runshan was panting heavily, with sweat on his forehead. He ran quickly from the stone house of the post office, and he was really nervous, which made him sweat all over.

"Can you let me stay with you for now? There may be trouble with me. I'm worried about the impact on Nana."

"You are worried about Nana but not me?" Yu Hong was speechless, but looking at the other party's pleading eyes, he thought that the relationship between the two was not bad, so he did not refuse after all.

"It's okay to stay here, but I'm still renovating this place. You can only live in a wooden house outside. Don't worry, I have special protection measures here, so even a wooden house is safe."

"That wooden house in the yard, right?" Li Runshan nodded understandingly, "Okay. Also, if you give me more talisman boards, I feel bad."

"What did you encounter?" Yu Hong narrowed his eyes, quickly picked up the enhanced red value detector, approached the opponent and pressed the switch button.

After two beeps, the value on the detector stabilized: 52.221.

Seeing this number, Yu Hong's expression became serious.

"It seems like something is indeed targeting you."

Seeing this scene, Li Runshan was a little surprised, because he had just measured it himself and the value on his body was normal. Why did it change to another value in Yuhong's place? ?

He glanced at the detector in Yu Hong's hand and felt that it might be a little different from his own.

"Drink some water first, and then tell me carefully about the situation." Yu Hong poured a glass of water for the other party, and the two sat down.

"I feel like there is something following me behind me. I can't get rid of it no matter what." Li Runshan sat down and kept looking back. It seemed that even in the cave, there seemed to be something following him and staring closely at him. he.

"Following you? A strange shadow? An evil shadow? Or a blood tide monster? When did it start?" Yu Hong asked quickly.

"Just when I came back, in fact, this time I went to get the bacteria packs. When I passed a large living room, I felt someone following me for a moment, but I thought it was an illusion and didn't care." Li Runshan inserted his hands into In the hair, it feels bad.

"In the past, whenever I entered the area protected by the rune board, I wouldn't feel this way. But this time I returned to the stone house and I still felt something was wrong. You know my situation. If it were an ordinary ghost, I wouldn't have this feeling. A feeling. But this time I feel something is wrong. This guy is definitely an evil shadow, and he is probably a type we have never encountered before!"

Yu Hong stood up, took a pen and paper, and wrote on it.

'1 - Followed behind, but did not attack at first.

2——The main body is suspected to be a white blurred figure with a smile on its face, which cannot be seen clearly.

3——.’

He thought for a moment, picked up the paper, and showed it to Li Runshan.

"Is there anything you need to add?"

"Does it count if your back is cold?"

"Forget it, you'd better not go anywhere now, just stay here. I'll go ask Zhou Xueguang and then check the situation at the post office for you." Yu Hong quickly recorded it and said seriously.

In any case, Li Runshan has a good relationship with him, and he is also one of the few food manufacturers around. If he can help, he doesn't want anything to happen to him.

Originally, he would never have been willing to meddle in these things before, but after going out this time, his fear and worry about the black disaster were greatly reduced.

He also clearly understands what level his own strength belongs to in the current environment.

After killing Xiao Du, the body-enhanced person, Yu Hong's worries were greatly reduced.

"When I went out this time, I understood a truth. We can't always be passive. We can't let them be fully prepared and accumulate all their strength to attack us again." Yu Hong said seriously. "We have to take the initiative to interrupt them, understand and weaken them as much as possible. Only in this way can we gain the greatest hope and more vitality."

When Li Runshan heard this, he looked stunned, as if he was meeting him for the first time.

"You are right, but how should we interrupt? We don't even know what this thing is. If it were at the post office, I could use the communication to ask my superiors, but now I don't dare to go back."

He breathed out.

"But this time I really have to rely on you. I feel that the guy behind him may be no worse than Yu Ren. So be careful."

"Okay, I understand. Do you have anything to add?" Yu Hong handed over the pen and paper.

"There is one more thing. I just said that every time that thing appears, my back will feel cold. It is not a psychological effect, but a real cold. The body temperature will drop and the movement will be slowed down." Li Runshan quickly took it and wrote on it.

"Anything else?"

"That's all."

"Well, let's go. I'll get you some things. Let's go to the wooden house outside." Yu Hong stood up and took a stack of talismans from the wooden frame. After thinking for a while, he took another silver talisman, put them together, and handed them to Li Runshan.

"Take these first."

It was the first time that Li Runshan saw a silver talisman. He picked it up and looked through it carefully.

"Is this the advanced version?"

"Yes, one piece is worth ten ordinary ones." Although Yu Hong's words were a bit exaggerated, they were actually not much different.

"Good stuff." Li Runshan exclaimed, "That's nice!"

"Let's go. There are too many secrets in this place. I don't want to show them to you." Yu Hong said quite directly.

"Okay, but it's hurtful that you speak so bluntly." Li Runshan took the silver talisman board and regained some of his relaxed demeanor.

"My greatest strength is that I am straightforward." Yu Hong replied.

Click.

The wooden door opened, and the two walked out one after the other.

Yu Hong pushed the door of the wooden house and placed an enhanced red value detector on the wooden bed.

"My detector has also been modified, with extremely high accuracy. You can try it immediately if you feel something is wrong."

"Well, okay. Thank you for your trouble." Li Runshan nodded, paused, and then said. "The last mailing of your sunshine materials to the internal channel should be arriving soon, and I will give you a discount then."

He knew very well that it was not easy for Yu Hong to help without saying a word in such a dangerous environment. He remembered this favor. Counting the last time, he owed Yu Hong twice.

"Can't mail it in the future?" Yu Hong paused and asked.

"There is no future. We can only rely on ourselves. But I can try to contact the remaining guys in Baihe City who have not moved away, but the supplies are definitely far less than before. Don't hold too much hope." Li Runshan sighed.

Yu Hong said nothing more, closed the door and left.

He locked the door, took the recording paper, the remaining two silver talismans, and a stack of ordinary talismans, put on the enhanced white bear suit, and quickly rushed towards the post office.

Along the way, he held the detector in his hand and kept checking the red value on it.

'31.224.'

'31.532.'

The environmental red value has been raised to 31 and has completely stabilized.

Huh.

As he walked, Yu Hong exhaled and looked around the surrounding woodland.

In the gray fog, the surrounding woods could only vaguely see the outline of five or six meters away.

Click.

Click.

Click.

The boots crushed the dead leaves on the ground, making a rhythmic crisp sound.

While hurrying on the road, Yu Hong picked up the detector from time to time to check the value changes on it.

Click.

Click.

Snap.

Suddenly, his forward steps stopped.

Swish, he turned his head suddenly and looked behind him.

The gray woods behind him were quiet, dark and cold.

‘Just now. There was a sound following me.’ Yu Hong recalled the situation just now. Just now, there was a sound of crushing dead leaves in his footsteps.

If it were an ordinary person, he might not be able to detect this sound, but he was energetic and focused now, paying attention to the changes around him at any time, so he noticed it at once.

After making sure that there was nothing behind him and no one was following him, Yu Hong turned around and continued to move forward.

This time he sped up, holding the silver talisman tightly in one hand, ready to take action at any time.

Nothing happened along the way, and fortunately, he arrived at the post office safely.

There was no one in the stone house of the post office, and the door of the empty house was closed.

Yu Hong looked outside the yard, then entered the yard, checked around the house, and made sure everything was fine before coming to the front door.

He reached out and took out the key given by Li Runshan, gently inserted it into the keyhole, and twisted it.

Click.

The door opened.

But Yu Hong paused.

Because at the moment when he unlocked the door, there was also an extremely subtle sound of footsteps behind him.

The footsteps should be similar to the crisp collision sound of high heels stepping on the wooden steps in front of the stone house.

Subtle and brief.

Yu Hong maintained the posture of holding the key and about to open the door.

He carefully looked at the window on one side of the stone house from the corner of his eye.

The window was nailed with a lot of thick wooden boards, but there were still broken glass residues on the outside.

Through one of these pieces of glass, he vaguely saw the situation behind him.

In the reflection of a triangular piece of glass, a vague white figure with long black hair was vaguely reflected, standing two meters behind Yu Hong, smiling quietly.

Yu Hong froze.

He did not continue to open the door, but slowly took out the key and put it in his trouser pocket.

Then.

"Laugh at your mother!!"

Swish!

He suddenly turned and rushed forward, pulling out a silver talisman board in his hand and waving it forward.

At the same time, the red value detector also swung it forward.

Bang! !

His arms bulged, and his thick forearms were like a hammer, smashing hard on the wooden steps, and a cracking dent was made with a click.
