Desperate Night

In the mountains and forests.

The mist is thick, like a gauze, shrouded among the large bare trees.

puff.

Outside the camp, a jet of black phlegm flew out and accurately hit a white rock on the ground.

hiss.

The black phlegm slowly reacted with the rocks, emitting white smoke. After a while, a small hole was corroded.

The small hole became deeper and deeper, and did not stop until the black phlegm was completely consumed.

Amidst the clicking footsteps, Yu Hong, dressed in a suit, walked over and knelt down to check.

He stretched out his index finger and pierced the small hole, probably to the end of the second knuckle.

‘At the end of the test, the black lizard’s saliva is actually highly corrosive to everything. ’

Yu Hong stood up and turned to look at the black lizard lying down.

An adult black lizard is about the same size as an average cat. It was so dark that if I didn't open my eyes, I would have thought it was a dead tree.

Looking at the black lizard, Yu Hong thought about which aspect of it should be strengthened.

'First of all, speed is a must, otherwise it will be meaningless if the detection capability is insufficient. ’

'Then there's the fast, high-kill Assassin-type Scout, which is the right Sentinel I need. But if the physical protection is too weak, it’s useless to knock him down with a gunshot’

After thinking about it, Yu Hong knelt down and rubbed the black lizard's forehead.

‘Isn’t speed, lethality, and protective physique a comprehensive enhancement? ’

He was a little helpless, changed his mind, and quickly turned around and walked towards the camp, asking the black lizard to follow him.

After a while, he used Dahui graphite powder in the camp to draw a hidden symbol on the black lizard.

Then, he thought for a moment and dragged out some unnecessary metal tools and weapons from the cave.

Stack these together with the black lizard.

Then, Yu Hong looked at the sky outside. It was pitch black.

He stretched out his hand and gently pressed it on the black lizard, while his consciousness included the pile of metals and weapons.

‘Strengthen the black lizard, direction: speed, damage, defensive physique. ’

He naturally imagined the ideal black lizard he wanted in his mind.

It should be a sentinel monster that is fast, well concealed, has a strong physique and amazing defense, and has enough lethality to drag most things, making it easy to return with loot.

Soon, the black line on the back of the hand flashed and disappeared into the black lizard.

‘Do you want to strengthen the mark: Black Lizard? ’

Hei Yin's inquiry came.

At the same time, the countdown also appeared on the black lizard.

‘09:14 on the 3rd. ’

'yes! ’ Yu Hong replied affirmatively.

Suddenly the countdown flashed and started counting quickly.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

‘After strengthening this time, the entire camp will be strengthened again, the stone fortress should be strengthened, and a closed and perfect self-circulation mechanism should be established as much as possible. ’

There are all kinds of black disasters in the outside world, and there are all kinds of dangers. The greatest safety is to avoid contact as much as possible.

'Three days later, there are fewer people in the camp now, and the attraction to the black disaster has been greatly reduced. It may be safer than before.'

He let go of the black lizard and controlled it to hide in the camp. Although he didn't know what would happen if the thing being strengthened was suddenly injured and died, it was best not to try this.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Yu Hong always monitors the changes of the bugs outside. In the past three days, the bugs seem to have lost interest in the camp. They don't even come near here on weekdays, and there are almost no people in sight.

The mountains and forests around the camp seemed to have completely entered the situation before the black disaster, with peace, silence and nothing.

There were not even any ghosts, they were all suppressed and driven away by the insect-men.

In the past three days, Yu Hong once again condensed a new inner energy, reaching the seventh root of the third level.

Although the improvement of his Thunder Legs does not allow him to fight the bugs head-on, it still gives him a sense of security because he can run fast.

At noon, the sky gradually darkened, and the fine raindrops began to rustle down, hitting the mountain forest, hitting the dead leaves, and falling into the mud, making a thin sound.

Yu Hong walked out of the cave and came to the edge of the formation in the outer courtyard. Wearing the reinforced gray lizard suit, he was not worried about the rain, but was slightly nervous as he sensed the black lizard outside the fence that was about to complete its strengthening.

There are still six minutes left in the countdown. He simply leaned against the fence and quietly concentrated on practicing his Qi.

Buzz.

Suddenly, from the driveway leading to the road from the outer courtyard, there was a faint sound of a motor. In addition to the motor, there was also the squeezing sound of tires crushing the wet ground.

Yu Hong opened his eyes suddenly and looked in that direction.

In the sight of the Black Lizard who was investigating outside, a familiar car was slowly approaching the camp.

‘That’s.! ? ’ He stood up involuntarily and looked carefully at the direction from which the sound came.

Not long after.

A black car covered with gray and black rune symbols slowly parked at the fence outside the camp.

Click.

The car door opened, and a familiar figure jumped out.

"Boss, I haven't seen you for a few days. Did you miss me?" Zhou Xueguang patted the car door with a smile on his face.

"Didn't you leave? Why are you back?" Yu Hong's face remained calm.

"They are going to accompany Dr. Xu during the delivery. Lao Li is enough. What should I do if I come over?" Zhou Xueguang answered with a smile.

He looked back at the misty mountain forest where it was raining.

"By the way, boss, what are you doing standing here? Did you know that I would be back in advance?"

"If you have nothing to do, let's observe the black disaster and collect detailed information." Yu Hong replied casually.

The return of Lao Zhou surprised him, and gave him some comfort. At the same time, it also gave the deserted camp a touch of humanity again.

"Go back and rest first. I have to observe for a while." Yu Hong said calmly.

"Understood!" Old Zhou nodded, opened the fence, drove in, and then closed the door and returned to the stone fort.

Yu Hong still stood there, listening to the faint sound coming from the stone fort behind him, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up slightly.

He was interrupted by Old Zhou, and he didn't notice that the black lizard had finished strengthening.

At this time, he came back to his senses and sensed the black lizard mark in his mind again.

After a few breaths, he took a step forward, turned over the fence, and walked into the mist.

A few meters later, he stopped in front of a dead tree and watched a brand new black lizard slowly crawling out from behind the trunk.

Puff, puff, puff.

The half-human-high black lizard was like the world's largest Komodo dragon, but it was much larger.

Its eyes were like turbid black glass beads, its body was bloated and thick, nearly two meters long, and covered with black scales as hard as old tree bark.

Yu Hong approached and reached out to knock on the black lizard's forehead.

Dudududu, the sound was as dull as knocking on wood.

‘Come on, spit.’ Yu Hong pointed to a tree trunk and said in his mind.

Puff.

The black lizard spit out a mouthful of black sputum on the spot. This time, the black sputum was at least three times larger than before. It directly covered the tree trunk that was as thick as an adult’s waist.

With a hissing sound, a large gap was corroded in the tree trunk soon, and the tree began to shake, and it might fall and break at any time.

‘Not bad.’ Yu Hong nodded slightly, and then he had an idea.

He directed the new black lizard to a large boulder covered with moss.

Bang.

The black lizard took a few steps and hit it head-on.

The boulder, which was at least a hundred pounds, was as big as a small millstone. It was immediately knocked to roll and turned several times before stopping.

‘The strength has also increased a lot.’ Yu Hong nodded, pulled out the dagger from his waist, walked forward, and scratched the black lizard’s scales.

Chi chi chi chi.

He used only the strength of an ordinary person on the tip of the knife, but could only draw white marks on the back of the black lizard, unable to hurt it.

‘It has synthesized some metal elements, and its defense is also good. Taken together, it can be considered a strong sentinel. In addition to dealing with low-level black disasters, it can also deal with some hostile entities. ’

‘Finally, it’s speed. ’ He put away the knife, controlled the black lizard in his mind, and sprinted along the lane towards the road at full speed.

‘Three. ’

‘Two. ’

‘One! Run! ’

He also looked at the time on the detector and started counting.

The black lizard rushed out silently and disappeared into the gray fog in an instant.

About half a minute later.

Chi chi!

The black lizard's vision instantly stabilized and stopped.

Yu Hong saw through the mark that it had reached the road surface.

‘36 seconds. ’ He estimated that it was about 1.0 kilometers from the camp to the road, and it only took half a minute for the black lizard to rush over here. This speed was indeed much faster than before.

‘In this way, the road can also be included in my patrol range and then test the limit radius. ’

Yu Hong controlled the black lizard to continue rushing to the distance, crossing the road and crossing the slope.

Not long after, the black lizard crossed the two-kilometer limit, but this time, it did not lose contact, but still maintained contact.

This made Yu Hong excited.

Continue to control the black lizard to run away, and soon, when it reached three kilometers, the black lizard's vision suddenly went black.

‘Lost contact. ’

Yu Hong exhaled.

‘Three kilometers, the control limit has been improved. It seems that the improvement of the mark still depends on continuous strengthening. The stronger the mark, the stronger the comprehensive data will be. ’

Soon, the black lizard automatically returned to the three-kilometer range, and the vision returned to Yu Hong.

He began to control the black lizard to return, and at the same time let the other black lizards automatically patrol around the camp.

Now that the formation has been strengthened and the black lizard has been strengthened, he decided to find a way to completely solve the problem of the insect man. Let it not stay near the camp and treat the camp as its own territory.

Gray City.

The huge and sturdy gray city stands between the endless loess hills.

In front of the city gate, giant metal gates more than ten centimeters thick slowly rise up and open a hole for entry and exit.

Outside the gate, the survivors from all over the country who had been waiting in line for a long time rushed forward in ragged clothes and yellow skinny bodies, trying to rush into the city.

"Everyone line up and accept the entry inspection one by one. After entering the city, read the announcement on the right as soon as possible. You must strictly follow all the procedures in the announcement. Violators will be expelled from the city."

Inside the city gate, a team of black armed personnel who maintain order are wearing full-body bulletproof suits, holding guns, wearing brown goggles, and even their faces are completely covered.

No one spoke, and the voices came from the loudspeakers that had been recorded long ago.

The loudspeakers were hung on both sides of the city gate, repeating continuously.

Among the armed personnel responsible for the inspection, someone was responsible for checking the information cards filled out by the entrants.

Suddenly, the inspector pressed a card he had just seen.

"Former postman? Baiqiu Village? Black Wind Camp?" He hesitated and looked up at the three people who were undergoing the third round of body searches not far away.

Li Runshan raised his hands, and as if he heard the voice, he immediately showed a sincere smile towards this side.

Aisina was behind him, and Dr. Xu entered the tent alone with a big belly at the end to check.

"Take these two people, drag them out and shoot them." The inspector let go of the card and waved his hand casually.

With a bang, three people from the black team behind him suddenly walked out and walked towards Li Runshan.

"Wait! We didn't do anything! What are you going to do? Why are you going to kill us?!" Li Runshan's face changed instantly.

This is illogical and unreasonable! !

Normal logic should be that once people hear that he is a former postman, they will immediately give him special treatment. After all, postmen are elite players, and they are talents no matter where they are.

But this Gray City! !

Before he could struggle, two steel-like arms instantly clamped his hands, and the huge force suppressed him and made him unable to move.

Among the three people who came out, two of them were enhanced people! ?
