Desperate Night

"Everyone is responsible for their own choices, whether they are right or wrong."

In the communicator, Zhang Kaijun's voice was cold and cruel.

"As leaders, our responsibility is to keep the fire alive and ensure the survival of most people. The fate of some individuals is irrelevant." He continued.

After learning about Yu Hong's treatment of some people in the camp before, he immediately gave a negative evaluation.

"What about you?" Yu Hong asked. "The leader himself is also a person, an individual."

"Similarly, if I am no longer useful for the survival of the group, then I can also be abandoned. Of course, I will not let myself fall into that situation." Zhang Kaijun said calmly.

"You are a cold person." Yu Hong was silent for a while and replied.

"Many people say so." Zhang Kaijun said coldly, without any anger.

In the communicator, there was only the faint breathing of the two people for a while.

In the current communication channel, generally only the two of them are online for a long time. Wei Song went online once a few days ago, saying that he was relocating and needed to save energy, so he could not go online for the time being. So there has been no movement.

Silence for a while.

"The trading team will be here soon. I use the contracting system. Outsiders bid for a monthly contract to form a caravan. I only want a fixed income. The profit and loss have nothing to do with me. So the transaction price does not need to give me face." Zhang Kaijun explained.

"I don't intend to give you face." Yu Hong said. From the beginning to now, his relationship with the other party has been just an ordinary exchange relationship.

"But you manage so strictly, and there are still people in the city who dare to form a caravan?" He suddenly asked in confusion.

"All of them are outsourced. The elites in the city will not, and have no time to do such a life-threatening thing. All the remaining strongholds outside form their own people, and I only take care of the supplies." Zhang Kaijun said. "My small strongholds outside are basically surviving by relying on the remnants of the previous Hope City. Too many people died in a short period of time, resulting in a large amount of supplies that cannot be eaten. The grain reserves in many urban areas are enough for thousands of people to eat for more than a few years. But there are all kinds of dangers in those places. I will not sacrifice my elites to search in vain. Outsourcing and only reaping the results is the best choice."

"." Yu Hong was speechless.

The communication was disconnected silently after a while.

He stood up and heard that it was still raining outside, with thunder rolling. The rain not only did not stop, but seemed to be getting heavier.

Alas.

He sighed.

He cooked himself a pot of yam and meatball soup. The yam was dry, which was one of the supplies that Lao Zhou had looted last time. In addition, there were some miscellaneous snacks and frozen bacon, all piled up in the basement.

There were too many dead people. In many places, no one dared to take the things in warehouses. In some places, even if people got the supplies, they had no time to eat them. Once the black disaster came, there was nothing left.

After eating, he took a book and lay on the bed to rest.

After a long period of hard training of internal energy, he felt an indescribable irritability in his heart.

But at this moment, it was pouring outside and the cold was pressing. The cave was warm like spring, with bright lights. After eating and drinking, he flipped through the books he had just received but had not read.

Yu Hong inexplicably felt a sense of peace in his heart, and the irritability also emerged with this sense of peace, slowly fading and dissipating.

He read a book for a while. This book on political logic that he had just found casually, which was usually quite boring, actually made him read it with great interest.

After relaxing, Yu Hong stood up again and went to the basement to practice the Thunder Leg Technique.

He stood in the middle and slowly put on the Thunder Leg posture, standing with his legs one in front and one behind, with his front leg tiptoe raised, his body slightly bent, and his arms raised to block at any time.

Swish!

Suddenly, a white shadow flashed by.

It was Yu Hong's right leg that swept out, and its leg shadow cut through the air, bringing out a piercing scream.

Not only that, at the moment when the right leg swept out, the internal energy was filled and increased, and a translucent air layer lingered around the legs and feet.

This air layer was discovered by Yu Hong as soon as it appeared.

He had sensed it before, but didn't pay much attention to it. It was just that today, it seemed that his leg training had reached a qualitative change, and this layer of airflow had a texture similar to that of a solid object.

Swish, swish, swish!

In just a few seconds, he kicked dozens of times with his legs.

Bang!

In an instant, a transparent cyclone flew out from the tip of his leg and hit the wall, making a muffled sound.

This was a cyclone long-range attack that had appeared before.

At the same time, Yu Hong felt that the airflow layer on his legs was getting thicker and thicker, as if he was wearing an extra layer of thick leg armor, but his internal energy was still in a state of no explosion.

'It seems that the Thunder Leg Technique has improved again. '

He was pleasantly surprised.

This martial art with a total of six levels gave him a lot of help, mainly in terms of movement speed and explosive power.

Of course, the Thunder Leg is not without weaknesses, and insufficient protection is one of them. So he has to rely on the enhanced suit to protect his legs, otherwise once his legs are injured, his movement speed will drop sharply, and he will not be able to run even if he wants to.

Looking at the martial arts movies he had watched before, all the leg masters were very impressive when they first appeared, but their fighting ability dropped the fastest when they were injured. After all, once the legs were injured, they couldn't even walk, their balance dropped drastically, and they couldn't fight at all.

So in order to avoid this, he simply planned to train his legs to be his strongest part.

And now, the Thunder Leg seems to have made up for this.

‘This layer of airflow should be the protective effect of the kicking technique. From this point of view, this kicking technique only has real defensive power when it reaches the fourth layer, and its actual combat power is greatly increased. I used to rely on enhanced sets to temporarily make up for my shortcomings, but now it is truly perfect. ’

In the basement, the more Yu Hong practiced, the smoother he became. The bursts of air-piercing screams soon turned into weird laughter. As the speed of his legs increased, the manic laughter became more and more hysterical and crazy.

"I can't make it!" Xue Ningning braked suddenly, her face pale under her helmet.

Outside the car window, directly ahead.

A piece of fallen rocks, soil and trees completely blocked the road ahead.

The original highway suddenly turned into a dead end here.

The rain was pouring down, and even the fog was dispersed by the rain. The moonlight shone down, and the whole world seemed to have turned into gray.

"Get out of the car!" Xue Ningning shouted decisively. After all, he was the captain and made decisions very quickly.

Several people made a quick decision, opened the door, took their things, put on their pyroxene cloaks, and rushed along the edge of the fallen rocks.

Because the situation was urgent and they couldn't close their eyes, Yiyi and Anan didn't even wear protective suits. They only wore breathing valves. Ou Li held a radiation grenade and cut off at the end.

Cold air and moisture continued to penetrate into several people's bodies.

Xue Ningning glanced at the detector. The temperature on it had reached 2 degrees. At such a low temperature, she felt cold all over even wearing a suit. Not to mention Lin Yiyi and An An, who were only wearing ordinary clothes behind them.

"Follow closely! Yiyi, I'm not familiar with the road, you go ahead!" Xue Ningning said loudly.

"Okay!" Lin Yiyi looked determined. During this trip, her teammates died because she went to investigate Black Tree Village. Such a result made her feel full of pain and guilt.

How she wished she had not promised the captain and the others to go together in the first place.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now

The group of people abandoned the car and ran forward. An An was unconscious and was simply picked up by Lin Yiyi. Her weight was only eighty or ninety kilograms, and she was as light as nothing in Lin Yiyi's hands.

Amidst the sound of rain behind him, Fang Shijun's gunfire gradually became dim and faint. until completely extinguished.

The three people who were running all felt their hearts tightening involuntarily. The gunshots went out, which meant that Fang Shijun might have...

"Fuck!!" Xue Ningning roared suddenly.

Running all the way.

I don't know how far they ran, but they were about to reach the road outside the Black Wind Camp. Suddenly, a few people faintly saw an abandoned red car parked on the left side of the road.

Heavy rain washed away the windows of the car, and through the blur, a person could be vaguely seen sitting in the driver's seat.

Yu Hong collected his power and exhaled, feeling the new inner energy condensed in his body once again, and his heart became calmer and calmer.

After wiping his sweat, he took a hot shower and changed into clean clothes. He went out and walked through the stone passage to the stone castle.

There are lights everywhere in the two-story stone castle.

He first went to the breeding room and checked the humidity and temperature: 72%, 14 degrees Celsius.

‘The increasingly humid air outside offsets the dryness indoors. Cooling water pipes and air purifiers will reduce the humidity, which is just right. ’

Check the breeding boxes one by one. No problems are found, and then check whether the runes on the inner wall are damaged or incomplete.

After doing this, Yu Hong returned to the cave and piled together the dried meat, wild vegetables, insects, etc. that had been divided into quantities in advance to strengthen them.

These quantities were calculated in advance, just enough to allow Black Seal to continuously supply the fortified nutritional cream while he was sleeping.

The strengthening time is exactly the time for sleeping and the end of waking up, with an error of no more than ten minutes.

Finally, rely on the black lizard to check the situation around the camp.

"The Black Lizard is really easy to use. You can understand the surrounding environment without leaving home, and it can also ensure a certain degree of safety. After my internal energy is resolved, I can consider continuing to strengthen the Black Lizard."

Lying on the wooden bed, Yu Hong was already thinking about how to strengthen himself.

'The individual strength of the current black lizards is basically sufficient. It is very difficult to strengthen them to be able to fight against high-risk black disasters. It will probably take a lot of time, but if you just simply increase the number, you will save a lot. ’

Yu Hong thought.

‘The number of black lizards is determined by the mark. Since it can increase the strength of black lizards, it may also increase the number of black lizards. ’

He closed his eyes and began to feel the black lizard mark.

The mark is still the same as before, like two extra arms growing in the brain, which can be controlled to float around at any time.

As his inner energy grew stronger and his physique became stronger, Yu Hong could see them more and more clearly.

They were two black balls with white light spots wrapped inside them. If you look carefully at the light spot with your consciousness, you can quickly see the faint image emerging from it.

The more careful you are, the further you can zoom in.

‘How to increase the number of creatures controlled by the imprint? ’ This thought came to Yu Hong’s mind again.

Suddenly, he discovered a situation.

The size of these two imprinted black balls seemed to be larger than when he first discovered the imprint function.

‘I remember that at the beginning, the mark seemed to be much smaller. The light spots inside took up significantly more space of the black ball. ’

He observed carefully.

It was found that among the two black balls, the formation one had only one light point inside, while the black lizard one had nine light points inside.

‘There is only one formation, and there are nine black lizards, which corresponds exactly. Now the black lizard light spot occupies not much space in the black ball, and there are more places in the rest. Does this mean that I can still try to increase the number of black lizards? ’

This thought flashed through Yu Hong's mind.

‘Before, I only laid eggs up to the ninth one, and then I didn’t continue to increase the number. The result of the first attempt seemed to limit my thinking. The inertial thinking made me stop trying to increase the number. Now it seems that maybe.’

He made a prompt decision and immediately injected a stream of internal energy into one of the black lizard light spots.

Black lizards need internal energy to reproduce.

And now he has nearly twenty streams of internal energy. It doesn’t matter if he uses one temporarily, he can recover soon.
