Desperate Night

Crack.

Inside the Stone Fortress in the Black Wind Camp.

Yu Hong sat by the window, enjoying the cool breeze outside while carving a new talisman board.

He went on board for a test a few days ago and confirmed that he was fine. He returned again to make new props.

He was trying to carve a three-dimensional talisman board, which means that multiple layers are superimposed on the same talisman board, and the talismans are drawn on multiple layers, and then a combination effect is produced.

In this way, different talismans can produce a collaborative amplification effect, greatly enhancing the effect of the talisman board.

He blew the wind and breathed the fresh air outside. After the toxic air was filtered by the breathing valve, only the strong smell of the filter remained.

But in Yu Hong's heart, he still felt that the air outside was fresher.

"With the vortex talisman as the core, the deceleration talisman as the closed shell, and the concealment talisman to further shrink the breath fluctuations, so as to avoid the natural hedge effect with the red value radiation in the outside air. Finally."

He paused.

"Finally, use the traction rune to further compress the negative radiation inside. The radiation energy absorbed and converted by the vortex rune will be increased in concentration and enhanced in power during the explosion."

Click.

The last sawdust fell, and the thick wooden board in Yu Hong's hand was successfully carved.

Although it was just a test sample, at the moment of completion, the hollow array pattern on the surface of this brown wooden board flashed a white light of internal energy at the same time.

The white light flashed and disappeared, so fast that it seemed as if one's eyes were dazzled.

At the same time, with the flash of white light, this new rune board also began to slowly absorb the red value of the surrounding air and store it.

"Nine vortex rune boards are linked together, plus many amplification and strengthening designs, once the power of this rune board is fully stored, it is likely to far exceed the radiation grenade."

"A radiation grenade can reach 7,000 negative radiation, I wonder how much this one can reach?"

Yu Hong was looking forward to it.

"Make a few more, and then we'll officially explore the black ship."

Putting down the talisman board, this thing absorbs red value better outside. The red value concentration in the air in the cave is too low, and the replenishment speed is also low, so it is far less fast than outside.

Yu Hong stood up and looked at the talisman board.

"Such a large volume, almost the size of a notebook, just call it a radiation bomb."

These days, one person is in the stone fort, one person is in the cave, and one person is patrolling the secondary safety zone with the dragon lizard.

Yu Hong gradually felt a little lonely in his heart. Except when he was on the communicator, he couldn't hear any human voice most of the time. Sometimes he even felt that his ears were about to lose the ability to hear. So sometimes he would take the initiative to say something to stimulate and maintain his own hearing.

With the sound of clacking footsteps, Yu Hong went downstairs to check the breeding box, took out the mature mushrooms and lizards, and threw them into the drying box to make dried mushrooms and meat.

The so-called drying box is actually a sealed wood-clad iron box connected to the hot water pipe. It uses the heat of the cooling water pipe to continuously dry, and it is very efficient.

It can be completed in just two days.

After doing all this, he went to the cave to practice and refine his internal energy.

Then, after preparing all the equipment and supplies, Yu Hong once again waited until dark, and came to the back of the cave again with his things.

Standing within the range of the formation, close to the stone wall.

Behind him was a gray-white mountain wall, with several dry and charred vines hanging down, long dead.

Yu Hong stared at the black stream in front of him and opened the baffle of the atomic lamp on his waist.

Swish.

Suddenly, green light shone out, illuminating the familiar wooden bridge.

Yu Hong stood still, with his head slightly tilted.

Suddenly, two dragon lizards rushed out from his side and went up to the wooden bridge.

He followed closely, and the four dragon lizards behind him followed together.

This time, he decided to try on the boat again. Where the black boat led to and what was the relationship with the wooden bridge? These must be investigated clearly.

Amid the creaking sound, Yu Hong walked slowly on the wooden bridge, staring nervously at both sides from time to time, his internal energy was drawn but not released, condensed on his legs, ready to retreat and leave at any time.

The dark river water on both sides kept rolling, making a sticky sound, as if something dangerous might rush out at any time.

Go forward all the way.

Fortunately, there was no accident until we arrived in front of the black ship.

Whoosh!

A ground pond dragon lizard rushed onto the black ship first, searched quickly, and let Yu Hong get on board after confirming that there was no danger.

Click.

As soon as he stepped onto the deck of the ship, Yu Hong felt an inexplicable spiritual touch, and the self-destructive tendency that had appeared before appeared in his mind again, but was instantly dispersed by the internal energy.

The endless internal energy offset the ubiquitous self-destructive suggestion tendency around him.

'Is this already a kind of spiritual pollution? ' Yu Hong's heart was awed, and he carefully felt the speed of the consumption of the internal energy. According to the current speed, about one internal energy can last for about an hour.

Fortunately, he has a lot of internal energy, which can last for more than a day, so there is no problem for the time being.

The deck on the black ship feels like slippery and thick moss when stepped on, and you may slip if you are not careful.

Yu Hong was extremely careful with every step he took.

He looked around.

The black ship was divided into the bow, hull, and stern.

The bow was a dark square main control room, and through the hole in the wooden board, one could see a rather primitive turntable rudder.

The hull had a mast, and the mast was hung with a tattered black sail. Three words could be vaguely seen on the canvas, but he didn't recognize them at all.

At the stern, the fence was broken, and black water splashed up from time to time, wetting the deck. A black anchor was tied to a protruding thick wooden stake.

Yu Hong went to the main control room first, lowered his head slightly, and entered the room.

In addition to the main control rudder, there were several cabinets fixed to the ground.

A round wooden stool was broken on the ground, and there were several broken brown porcelain fragments that were stuck in the wooden wall and were stuck and could not move.

Yu Hong walked to the cabinet and stretched out his hand to pull off the iron lock hanging on it.

The rotten wood broke with a pull, and the cabinets were opened one by one, revealing the rotten and blackened mess inside.

A rotten wooden food box.

A stack of black cloth clothes tied with ropes.

A pile of small metal bottles of unknown size, all black.

Yu Hong patiently opened the cabinets one by one and took out everything inside.

Soon, he paused and took out a thread-bound blue book from under the clothes in a cabinet.

When he opened it, it was full of dense and distorted characters that he didn't recognize. He felt dizzy.

There was a lot of black and white content on the paper, more than 30 pages in a booklet, at least half of it was written.

And the material seemed to have been specially treated, with no signs of decay at all.

Yu Hong put it away and prepared to take it out to check and decipher.

He was not good at this, but there were people who were good at it.

After taking the book, he poured out the small metal bottle, which was empty. He didn't know what it was used for. After making sure that there was nothing else worth taking, Yu Hong tried to move the rudder.

Puff.

The entire rudder was gently turned by it and broke on the spot.

"." Yu Hong was speechless and turned to leave the main control room.

At this time, the black ship had already started.

The river water on both sides slapped against the hull, making a rhythmic crisp sound.

This sound echoed with the sound of the wind blowing on the deck, forming an inexplicable cry like a moan.

The sound of the wind was crying, and the splash of water was sobbing.

Yu Hong stood at the side of the ship, looking at the scene in the distance on the side.

The black fog covered the shore, and nothing could be seen on the distant shore. Only in a small area illuminated by the green atomic light, a black river bank could be seen passing by.

Soon, about ten minutes later.

Squeak.

The black ship slowly slowed down and stopped at a similarly dilapidated black wooden bridge pier.

This pier wooden bridge was much shorter than the previous one, only seven or eight meters long. Standing on the black ship, one could vaguely see the situation on the shore.

Yu Hong moved the atomic light to shine over, and the shore was pale white. The shore away from the wooden bridge was full of fine pale white gravel.

The gravel reflected a more pale green luster under the green light.

Whoosh.

A dragon lizard ordered by Yu Hong got off the boat, ran along the wooden bridge pier, and rushed to the shore.

The dragon lizard soon sank into the black fog and disappeared.

Watching the dragon lizard disappear, Yu Hong quickly shared the vision and switched to the perspective of the dragon lizard.

The pale gravel ground kept passing by, and slowly, the ground began to change color, becoming grayer and gradually black.

Soon it turned into black soil.

Small, short, dry weeds gradually appeared around the dragon lizard.

It continued to move forward, and soon, a small square black field appeared in front of it.

The field was rotten, and there were no crops.

Crossing the black field, the dragon lizard looked up far ahead and saw that the black fields were connected one after another, all the way to the far front.

Farther away, on a high slope, there was a gray-white house. A pale lantern was hung on the gate of the house, illuminating a little bit of the surrounding area.

'This place' Yu Hong frowned and looked at it, 'It feels very wrong. '

He controlled the dragon lizard to approach the house, but soon, the black ship started to move again, and the surrounding scene was once again wrapped in black fog and disappeared. And the dragon lizard's shared vision also disappeared.

Not long after, the dilapidated wooden bridge behind the camp reappeared in front of Yu Hong.

He knew he was back again.

‘It’s a good time to test it. Let the dragon lizard stay there for a while to see if anything will happen.’

Yu Hong jumped off the black boat, took the looted books, and followed the wooden bridge with the other five dragon lizards back to the range of the formation.

Quickly returning to the cave, Yu Hong took out the looted books from his bag and gently opened them. There was nothing inside.

‘? ? ! ’ He frowned, picked up the charcoal pencil, and tried to recall the characters he had just seen, but strangely, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t recall the shape and content of the characters.

‘Can’t bring it out? How to decipher it?’ Looking at the time, he quickly came to the first floor cave and turned on the communicator.

Zhang Kaijun was still online.

“Is there something wrong?” He asked concisely.

“How do you know I have something wrong?” Yu Hong was speechless.

“Because you won’t be online if you have nothing to do.” Zhang Kaijun replied.

“There is a situation.” Yu Hong thought about it, but didn’t tell about his exploration of the wooden bridge and black boat. As for the wooden bridge black ship, except for him, the rest of the people might not even be able to enter. The self-destructive tendency of mental pollution, without the internal energy to counteract it, might cause people to commit suicide on the spot.

So he only said that he tried it with his internal energy, but got no results and encountered danger. Instead, he got a special writing system from somewhere else, hoping to decipher it.

"How to decipher unknown languages? I don't have any ideas here. Wait, I'll find an expert to tell you." Zhang Kaijun was quite helpful and immediately gave up the communicator.

After a while, a tired middle-aged man's voice came from the communicator.

"Hello, Mr. Yu, I am Chen Tingrong from Huicheng, specializing in linguistics. Regarding your question, if you want to learn a language you have never heard of from scratch, what you need most is to collect a lot of samples. Including various samples of different types and scenarios. Then determine the writing system, whether it is pictographic or phonetic, and then determine the commonly used vocabulary or grammatical elements through the characters and phrases that appear frequently."

Uh, sorry everyone, when I copied and uploaded it, the text was messed up and some content was missed.

Now it has been corrected. I apologize again for affecting your reading~
