Desperate Night

Plop.

Yu Hong and the other two fell to the ground, their bodies sore and gasping for air.

The violent breathing sound caused the whole cave to rise and fall for a while, stirring up a subtle cyclone.

"I told you. Believe me?" Yu Hong's face turned pale and he said intermittently.

"This door?" Little Stutter still couldn't understand. This wooden door was not like this before. How come it was like this after one day of not seeing it.

"What on earth did you encounter? What was that monster just now?" Yu Hong didn't answer, but looked at Dr. Xu, trying to get information from her. The communication from Little Stutter was too slow.

Dr. Xu's face was pale, and blood was slowly oozing out of her calf. Hearing this, she carefully looked at the reinforced wooden door, and then looked at other places in the cave.

"This is the safety you built by yourself." Boom! ! !

At this moment.

A loud noise instantly interrupted her subsequent speech.

In the loud noise, the wooden door shook violently again, and small stone chips fell around.

Hiss!

A dull strange hissing sound came from outside.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!!

Then there was a series of rapid and crazy collisions.

This time the force was much stronger than before.

The reinforced wooden door trembled under the huge force, and kept trembling slightly.

The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then reacted immediately.

"It's that monster!! It's not gone!"

Doctor Xu screamed, her voice was much sharper than usual, and her tone was almost completely changed.

Yu Hong and Xiao Jieba rushed forward without saying a word, and put their shoulders against the back of the door.

Seeing this, Doctor Xu also gritted his teeth and stood up, and then pressed against the wooden door.

Bang! Bang! Bang!!!

The continuous huge collisions made the reinforced wooden door start to shake constantly, and the fixing screws on the outer periphery of the door frame began to loosen more and more.

"Hold it!!" Yu Hong roared.

One after another.

The three of them desperately held the wooden door to offset the looseness caused by the impact.

They all knew that once the door was smashed, everything would be over.

So at this time, they used all their desperate strength.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Five minutes.

Ten minutes.

Until thirteen minutes.

The heavy rain outside gradually subsided, and the dark clouds in the overcast sky dispersed a little.

Finally, the sun shone down between the clouds, like straight golden beams.

Boom! !

The last loud noise.

The three people's bodies trembled violently, and obvious cracks appeared around the wooden door, and it was about to fall off the stone wall at the entrance of the cave.

Hiss! !

The huge tick monster finally let out a strange roar, and finally stopped hitting and began to retreat.

The roar quickly faded away, and then disappeared completely.

The three people still held the wooden door tightly, motionless, for fear that the other party would suddenly attack again.

They waited for more than ten minutes.

The golden sunlight outside gradually penetrated through the gap of the viewing window, and Yu Hong realized that it should be safe.

Plop.

He fell to the ground, panting rapidly.

Too tired, almost, almost broke through the defense and broke the door.

Just in the state of the three of them just now, once they were broken through, the result was self-evident. They would definitely die.

In the state of resisting to the point of exhaustion, the three of them could not escape any further.

Fortunately, everything was over.

Huh, huh, huh.

The three of them panted like a bellows, and sweat broke off the line and slid down from their foreheads and cheeks, falling on the ground, leaving a string of black spots.

"It should be okay now, the sun is out outside." Yu Hong stood up, opened the viewing window, and looked out.

Through the wire mesh, the sunlight outside shone in, and a stream of damp and cold air blew in, hitting his face, making him tremble slightly.

Looking left and right through the window, he was completely sure that the monster had disappeared, and then he completely relaxed.

She turned around and looked at the two people who were also sitting on the ground.

"What was that thing just now? How did you get involved?"

"It was a large blood tick in the blood tide. We usually call it a big tick." Doctor Xu wiped the sweat off his face and wiped it on his dirty coat, and answered.

"But it shouldn't appear at this time. It usually only appears occasionally during the high tide period, and it's not so manic and dangerous!"

Thinking of this, she reluctantly stood up.

"No, there must be a problem. We can't stay here. We must pack up and go to the town bunker immediately! We can't stop the big tick alone!"

Her face was a little anxious.

"Yu Hong, stop it!" The little stutterer stood up, wiped the sweat off his sleeve, and pointed at the laminated wood door.

It would have been better if she didn't point it. Instead, Yu Hong and Doctor Xu saw the cracks on the door.

"What about next time? What if the high tide period comes?" Doctor Xu said in a low voice.

She turned her head to look at Yu Hong.

"I don't know how you built such a solid door, but the boom is coming soon, and even a big skin can hardly stop it. Do you think you can do it? Can you survive here?" She pointed at the cracks in the wooden door and said loudly.

"." Yu Hong was silent. He pressed one hand on the door and looked at the words that appeared on it - Repair time: 17 minutes.

He didn't expect that it could be repaired even if it was damaged.

In addition, in the eyes of ordinary people now, going to the town is indeed the best choice, but

His eyes flickered.

If he went, many of his things would easily go wrong. And isn't this blocked?

Although the door was almost broken, it was due to lack of preparation this time. It should be much easier if we strengthen a few reinforced baffles or chains later.

"I don't want to go." Yu Hong said.

"Me, too." Little Stutterer looked at the cracked wooden door and spoke accordingly.

But before she spoke, she was interrupted by Dr. Xu.

"Are you crazy? This door is almost broken, why don't you leave? What if two big dogs come again during the peak period?!" Dr. Xu couldn't understand.

Her breathing became rapid again and she stared at Yu Hong.

"I'm very grateful that you just opened the door to save us, but this is not the time to be impulsive. Do you really think your door, which is about to break down, can withstand the impact of the surge? You are looking for death, do you know?"

"If we go to town, there won't be any danger. If more people gather together, will the shadows be more troublesome?" Yu Hong asked, and his mood stabilized at this time.

After high levels of fear and tension, the state becomes calmer.

"Yes, but with the committee here, they have ways to deal with it. At least it is much safer than meeting Dapi here!" Dr. Xu said loudly.

Yu Hong shook his head. "Thank you, but I don't want to go." He now felt that everywhere was dangerous, even outside, and nothing was as safe as the cave hut he made.

At least the black mark is now visible which improves his safety.

After the gate is repaired, as long as more reinforcement measures are taken, it will be much safer next time it is faced with the big skin.

But he couldn't say these words.

Because he couldn't explain how he did it.

In such an environment where there is a shortage of materials and parts, it is very abnormal for such a well-made safety door to suddenly appear.

"Crazy!" Dr. Xu stared at Yu Hong in disbelief, "You are really crazy! You will die!"

She pointed to the door.

"Although I don't know how you bought this kind of processing safety door, it can't stop the blood tide. The peak period is different from usual times. Once a big skin like that just appears, it is likely that there will be several animals coming out together during the surge period. . You can’t stop it!”

She began to persuade.

But no matter what she said, Yu Hong just shook his head.

He didn't believe that the security measures in the town were better with him. Even if he went to the bunker in the town, it might really be safer.

But he didn't want to place his safety in a place beyond the control of the outside world, on other people who were complete strangers.

So no matter what Dr. Xu said, he shook his head.

Finally, seeing that he could not convince Yu Hong, Dr. Xu looked at Xiao Stutter again.

"Yiyi, he doesn't make sense at all. Let's go!"

Little Stutter fell silent and turned to look at Yu Hong.

"One, get up, stay." She stammered.

Obviously, Dr. Xu's phone call just now failed to convince Yu Hong, but it convinced her.

After all, the damaged reinforced wooden door is indeed overwhelmed. If a big beast hits it a few more times, it will definitely be doomed.

Yu Hong could not give any explanation or any reason to support his decision.

He was just silent.

"Yu Hong!" Little Stutter looked at him, "Let's go together."

She patted the other person's arm, her eyes clear.

But Yu Hong just shook his head.

"You go ahead, I don't want to go."

He knew that if he went to the bunker in the town, he would definitely be able to deal with monsters like Dapi, otherwise the town would have been washed away by the blood tide. It is also impossible to collect Dapi's information.

It is indeed more suitable for the two of them to go there.

But he doesn't want to go.

He has no sense of security in anything outside. Only his cave is safe enough!

And even if he goes there, with his current weak physique, once the black mark's ability is exposed, the danger may be many times greater than in the cave.

After all, people's hearts are often very unpredictable.

Although the monster is terrifying, it is straightforward, simple and crude.

"Yiyi, don't worry about me. I can repair the door by myself, no problem. As long as I don't provoke a few big beasts. The entrance to my cave is very high, which is not conducive to monster attacks. It will only last a few days. Don't worry." Yu Hong comforted him. Little stutter.

Little Stutter blinked and looked at him, and wanted to speak again to persuade, but was blocked by Yu Hongyang's hand.

"Go, it's okay." Yu Hong said softly, "You've just helped me for a long time, and now it's time to separate. Of course, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come here to find me. I can help you. I will definitely help.”

He reached out and grabbed a piece of reinforced pyroxene from his trouser pocket and stuffed it into Little Stutter's hand.

"Forget it if he doesn't go! You're looking for death! Leave him alone!" Dr. Xu was really persuading his mouth to go dry. Seeing that Yu Hong's attitude was extremely firm, he also gave up.

"Stubborn as hell! Let's leave Yiyi. We'll set off immediately. It's still too late to rush there!" She grabbed the little stutterer's hand, walked to the door, and looked out of the viewing window to confirm the outside environment.

Little Stutter was pulled by her, and she turned back to pull Yu Hong.

"Let's go together." There was a trace of eagerness on her face.

But her hand was pushed away by Yu Hong.

"Yu Hong?" She was confused.

"I'll be fine. Go ahead. You and Dr. Xu can take care of each other." Yu Hong looked at her and said seriously.

"Doctor Xu, take good care of Yiyi. If you encounter difficulties, you can come to me. Although my place is not as good as the town, there is no problem in surviving."
