Desperate Night

Yu Hong stretched out his hand to warm it for a while, and suddenly felt thirsty, so he stood up and walked to the wooden barrel to scoop water to drink.

The water in the wooden barrel was quite turbid, showing a light gray color, but it was much better than the smelly water.

Yu Hong took a piece of dry charcoal, cut off a corner of the clothes with the edge of the axe, and then wrapped the charcoal in it and put it on the mouth of the wooden cup for drinking water, just so that it was stuck and could not fall down.

In this way, he made the simplest and most crude charcoal filter cup.

Picking up the wooden barrel, he carefully and slowly poured the water from the top of the cloth wrapped with charcoal.

The water penetrated very slowly, and then dripped from the bottom of the cloth wrapped with charcoal and dripped into the cup.

Yu Hong observed and found that the dripping water had some black charcoal residue at first, but it became cleaner and cleaner later, much cleaner than the barrel.

Although it was still turbid.

‘Water must be drunk, it cannot be lacking. I will try to see if I can strengthen a perfect one myself. If not, go to the little stuttering room to get it. ’

Yu Hong made a plan in his mind and reached out to hold the wooden cup.

The thought of strengthening came to his mind.

Suddenly, a new black number appeared on the side of the cup: 2:34.

At the same time, the mechanical sound of the black seal sounded again in his ears.

‘Do you want to strengthen the filter cup? ’

‘Yes! ’

Yu Hong answered with expectation in his heart.

With a swish, the number on the side of the cup suddenly turned into a countdown.

He felt relieved and sat down, leaning against the fireplace to feel the warmth gushing out, and his heart was much more at ease.

Two hours is not a long time, just sit and rest for a while, and wait.

Sitting on the wooden bench, Yu Hong only felt that the fireplace continuously radiated a large amount of warm current, which blew on his body and penetrated through his clothes, making his body more and more lazy.

It was obviously a dangerous night environment that was about to come, and it was cold and damp outside, and there were many dangers, but this kind of warmth now made him a little unmotivated.

Unconsciously, his eyelids began to droop.

‘No! Can’t sleep! 'He stood up suddenly and moved away from the fireplace.

At this time, the whole cave was already filled with a faint smell of sweat.

That was the odor of the quilt and his body being baked.

It was not very odorable before when it was damp, but now that it was baked and dried, the smell quickly dissipated.

"Hmm" Yu Hong rubbed his nose, knowing that the most important thing to do now was to open the door for ventilation, but unfortunately, it was night time, the most dangerous time outside.

Hiss

The sound of insects crawling was faintly heard from outside the door.

Obviously, those blood ticks have begun to appear.

He didn't know where these insects came from. They were invisible during the day, but they all crawled out at night.

And they evaporated and disappeared when exposed to light, which was not normal.

But at this time he had no time to think about it.

Standing up, he waited quietly next to the fireplace.

The flames in the stove vibrated upward like red silk cloth, and the flames swayed with the vibration, and the light was uncertain.

Hiss

Soon, a large number of black bugs began to flow into the vent on the right side of the door, just like the black sand that seeped in.

As soon as a large number of black bugs came in, they were illuminated by the firelight of the fireplace and instantly turned into black smoke and dissipated.

The fire only dimmed for a moment and quickly returned to normal.

‘Fortunately, blood ticks don’t consume much fire. As long as the number of firewood coming in is controlled, these firewoods should be able to last a night. ’

Yu Hong estimated the dry firewood in the corner and breathed a sigh of relief.

Standing by the fireplace, he waited for the black bugs to end their invasion while ready to add firewood to the fireplace at any time.

Time passed by little by little.

The firewood also gradually dimmed.

Yu Hong’s hand speed was extremely fast, and he threw the dry firewood in his hand into the fireplace.

Soon the dry firewood was ignited, and the light returned to normal.

This cycle repeated itself, and he had to add firewood almost every half an hour.

Otherwise the firelight would dim quickly.

This also made him dare not divert his attention at all, and he had to keep an eye on the fireplace at all times.

Bang! ! !

At this moment, the wooden door was hit and made a loud noise.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang! ! !

Then, a series of rapid collisions began quickly. The door was like a drum, shaking constantly, and stone chips began to fall frequently from the edges around it.

But the two newly reinforced support pillars played a big role.

Amidst the loud noises.

The door kept shaking and shaking slightly. It seemed that the whole cave was about to collapse. But under the action of the support pillars, it was still blocked tightly, and the surrounding fixing screws were also normal.

Yu Hong stood there trembling with fear, trying to control himself, not looking at the door, but staring at the fireplace at any time to prevent the fire from getting smaller.

Time passed in agony.

I don’t know how long it has been, Yu Hong has lost the timekeeping device, and his mobile phone has long been out of power and automatically turned off.

He can only quietly guard the fire and wait for dawn.

'Wait! ' Suddenly his heart trembled, 'A mobile phone is also an item, can't it be strengthened! ? ? '

He suddenly realized that the most technologically advanced thing around him was definitely the mobile phone.

If it is used to strengthen, it can be strengthened into a computing and processing intelligent control center.

Maybe, in the future, I can build an absolutely intelligent safe shelter base!

While standing, Yu Hong was thinking wildly.

In the end, he persisted for a while, and the huge impact finally stopped.

The big worm outside seemed to understand that he couldn't do anything about the reinforced wooden door, so he finally gave up and rustled away, and soon there was no movement.

It was quiet for about ten minutes.

There was no other movement outside except for the ordinary blood ticks, that is, black bugs.

Everything returned to the initial state of consumption.

It was just that the reinforced wooden door had been hit for a long time, and the door panel had bulged slightly inward.

Huh.

Yu Hong breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the night was already half over, as long as he persisted, it should be fine.

Boom!!!

At this moment, a loud bang exploded on the door in a flash.

The door panel was hit with a crack.

Yu Hong's face changed, and he rushed up and dragged the quilt to hold it against the door panel.

Bang bang bang bang bang!!!

Then there was another round of new collisions.

This time the sound was obviously louder and stronger than before.

‘Either it’s not the same big skin, or the big skin is still in a violent state! ’

Yu Hong resisted desperately, and a guess flashed through his mind.

The loud noises continued, shaking his eardrums slightly numb, and the shoulder that was pressed against was obviously burning and painful, and the skin was obviously rubbed.

Ten minutes.

Twenty minutes.

Half an hour.

Forty minutes

Until almost an hour, the collision stopped.

It didn’t sound again for a long time.

Yu Hong breathed a sigh of relief and loosened the quilt to look at the door panel.

There were more than ten bulges on the back of the solid door panel, and cracks were also parallel.

It is estimated that if it hits for another half an hour, it will be completely broken.

At this time, a ray of light faintly coming in from the vent made Yu Hong understand that it was not that the big skin gave up, but that it was dawn outside.

He sat down on the ground with a puff, sweating all over, hungry and thirsty.

Turning his head to look at the enhanced water filter cup, the countdown on it had long disappeared.

Instead, there was a fairly complete black metal cup.

The cup had a large filtering device, like a weight connected to the cup lid. The lower cup body was cylindrical, similar to a beer cup. The capacity was at least about 500 milliliters.

That was the same as the mineral water and purified water that Yu Hong usually drank.

Picking up the enhanced filter cup, Yu Hong quickly lifted the wooden barrel and poured some water into the cup.

After filtering, the rainwater slowly dripped into the bottom of the cup, and then accumulated little by little, gradually turning into a layer of clearer cold water.

Yu Hong waited for a while, tilted the cup, and poured out this layer of water.

‘It’s basically drinkable, but it still needs to be boiled. ’

The pots and pans for boiling water were all in the house in Baiqiu Village.

Yu Hong could only pick it up and sip it symbolically to moisten his mouth.

Then, he walked to the door, opened the baffle, and looked out.

Looking out the window, the light was getting brighter and brighter, and the sun shone down again.

Yu Hong checked the surroundings and made sure there was no problem before he removed the pillar and unscrewed the door lock.

He stood at the door and checked the damage of the door inside and out.

The terrifying thing is that the reinforced wooden door might be knocked through at the last moment, that is, at dawn, otherwise.

Yu Hong silently stretched out his hand and pressed it on the surface of the door.

"Do you want to repair it?"

'Yes. ' He answered affirmatively.

Looking at the countdown on the door, a trace of haze appeared in his heart.

'It's not good yet, the door must be reinforced. If another big guy hits it, this door will definitely not hold up! '

'So, how to reinforce it? '

He stood by the door, closed it again, and thought carefully.

Not long after, he quickly picked up the axe and rushed out. With the sound of chopping wood, Yu Hong soon came over dragging two thick wooden boards.

After switching to hammers, two thick wooden boards were soon nailed to the back of the gate after a series of clanging noises.

However, the thick wooden boards were not nailed to the door, but fixed to the stone walls on both sides, one on the top and one at the foot, parallel to each other.

In this way, although it was a bit troublesome to go in and out, the gate was reinforced again.

Then, Yu Hong repaired some more wooden boards, which were vertically attached to the back of the door to thicken the door panels.

After doing all this, he was so tired that he sat down.

Wiping the sweat with his sleeves, he picked up the tool box that Xiao Jieba gave him. There were only two nails left in it.

‘The steel nails are almost gone. They must be replenished. ’

The mortise and tenon structure is easy to use, but it must be planned from the beginning, otherwise the later changes can only rely on steel nails and other bits and pieces.

Sitting there and thinking for a while, Yu Hong filtered another glass of water and drank it in small sips.

Picking up the steel nail pyroxene stick, he took a deep breath and scanned the entire cave.

‘Let’s go to the little bastard’s house to move things first. Before we leave, let’s strengthen something and save time.’

He thought about it and chose to strengthen the newly reinforced gate reinforcement plate.

He stretched out his hand and pressed on the reinforcement plate behind the door, and his mind moved.

Soon, Hei Yin’s questioning voice sounded.

‘Do you want to strengthen the gate reinforcement plate?’

‘Yes!’

Yu Hong responded in his mind with ease.

Suddenly, numbers appeared on the board, and the numbers turned into a countdown: 1:32.

‘Not bad, not long.’

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he picked up the stick, put away the only piece of reinforced pyroxene, and opened the door.

He jumped down the steps of the rock wall without hesitation and walked along the forest towards Baiqiu Village.
