Desperate Night

Both of them were wearing goggles and black masks, dressed the same as Little Stutter just now.

Soon, they came to the door of the cave, and a slightly taller man stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Yu Hong from Baiqiu Village?"

"It's me. Is something wrong?" Yu Hong answered, hiding on the side of the door.

Instead of hiding behind the door, he avoided it and leaned against the stone wall.

"I heard that you have better pyroxene for sale?" The man didn't identify himself and just asked himself.

"What better pyroxene? I don't know what you are talking about, and who are you?" Yu Hong asked in a deep voice.

"Stop being secretive. We have seen the two pieces in Lin Yiyi's hand. They are very powerful. If you have this ability, you should not stay here anymore. You should go to the town with us. There will be more people there." If you give full play to your skills, you can save more people," the tall man persuaded in a deep voice.

"Also, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Zhao Zhenghong and his name is Xu Yang. They are both from the Allied Forces in this town."

"United Army" Yu Hong's heart moved, "I'm sorry, I don't want to go to the town. It feels safe to stay here alone. However, the enhanced pyroxene can be sold, but I can't do it now. I don't have enough now and I don't have time. Do."

He has indeed thought about using enhanced pyroxene in exchange for supplies, but mass production is not yet possible. One piece would take three days. For him, this is a huge waste of Black Seal.

"Now is the peak period, and there are many places that need to use pyroxene. If you go to the town with us now, you will be protected by most people. You will definitely be able to concentrate on making new pyroxene. It is better than hiding here alone. You have to worry about your own comfort," Zhao Zhenghong continued to advise.

"No, I'm used to living alone, but I'm not used to it when I go to town. Thank you for your kindness." Yu Hong refused again. "If you want to buy, you have to wait until the peak period is over."

Hearing this, another person behind Zhao Zhenghong quietly stretched out his hand and touched the pistol on his thigh.

But this action was stopped by Zhao Zhenghong with his hand.

"Mr. Yu Hong, according to the wartime emergency regulations established at the beginning of the establishment of the Allied Forces after the Black Disaster occurred two years ago, paragraph 3 of Article 28: When it is discovered that there are technologies and talents that can greatly optimize military power, Recruitment is compulsory and compensation is required afterwards.”

He paused.

"Actually, we can forcefully recruit you regardless of your wishes, but since we are all locals from Baishi Town, I will give you a chance, even if you don't go. But the method and technology of making large pyroxene, you You have to contribute, right?”

"At this difficult time, every additional piece of pyroxene may save one person from death. What's more, after you share the technology, it's not like you can't do it yourself. It doesn't affect the fact that you hide here alone and live in seclusion, and you can also help everyone. Making a contribution will save you a lot of trouble, right?”

What Zhao Zhenghong said was reasonable and well-founded. If it were someone else, he might really be convinced.

But it's a pity

Yu Hong strengthened the pyroxene not by relying on the technology he mastered, but by the black seal.

But the black seal's ability cannot be seen in the light.

"Sorry, I only accept exchange. As for the technology, you can't master it." Yu Hong replied calmly.

With the reinforced wooden door, he didn't think the other party could get in, so he refused quite decisively.

Zhao Zhenghong's eyes flashed outside the door, but he didn't get angry, but smiled.

"Okay, in that case, Mr. Yu Hong can think about it again when we come to visit next time. After all, how can a person suffer hardship here as much as enjoying life in a bunker, not having to worry about food and drink, and having a girl to share his life with. "

He patted his companion, and the two of them turned around and went down the stone steps at the entrance of the cave, heading away into the distance.

Not long after, the two disappeared into the forest without a trace.

But at an angle that cannot be seen from the window at the entrance of the cave, a figure also wearing camouflage uniforms is quietly leaning against the rock wall, hiding to the right of the door.

This figure is dressed exactly the same as Zhao Zhenghong. He holds a dagger in one hand, his back pressed against the rock wall, standing upright, like a gecko, motionless.

From this position, as soon as the cave door opens, you can immediately rush in and control the people inside.

At this time, at the cave window, Yu Hong quietly moved his eyes away from the gap in the viewing window and exhaled. He looked for a while, made sure no one was there, and then relaxed slightly.

‘The exchange partner I want is not like this’

Strengthening pyroxene will attract bad visitors, this is inevitable. But for the safety of Little Stutter, he still did not hide his stinginess.

In addition, since the reputation of the enhanced pyroxene will spread, people will definitely come to him for exchange.

After all, the previous pyroxene was too bulky. It is extremely inconvenient to carry, just like when Xiao Stutter dispelled the shadows before, he always threw the pyroxenes out one by one.

After coming back to his senses, Yu Hong did not go out again, but waited quietly in the cave.

Now that he has food and drink, and enough water to last him at least a day, he is not in a hurry to go out.

It would be troublesome if those two people had any counterattack.

Leaning against the fireplace, feeling the warmth on the surface of the fireplace, Yu Hong felt for the first time that maybe it would be a good thing to live peacefully in a safe house like this.

Goo.

Suddenly there was a gurgling sound in my stomach.

Yu Hong's expression changed, and the good mood just now disappeared without a trace.

He quickly rushed to the corner, pulled out a small bucket, took off his pants and pointed it at it.

Wow.

Just when it was aimed, bursts of gurgling sounds suddenly came out.

Yu Hong's expression completely changed.

He has diarrhea! !

The cramps in his stomach told him that this diarrhea was not a simple cold, but most likely an intestinal infection!

Soon, after wiping his butt with leaves, Yu Hong felt his stomach rolling again not long after he stood up.

He opened the wooden lid of the shit bucket again and vented again.

‘Trouble! ’

After Yu Hong stood up, he quickly searched among the sundries he had brought and soon found a small black box.

Opening the box, there were two dark blue capsules inside, the purpose of which was unknown.

But Yu Hong remembered that this medicine seemed to be the cold medicine given by Doctor Xu. It was not an anti-inflammatory medicine.

He had eaten all the anti-inflammatory medicine before. Later, it was not enough, and the little stutterer used a lot of good things to exchange with Doctor Xu, but it was still not enough. Doctor Xu exchanged it at a loss for favors.

Finally, after taking the medicine, his body slowly got better.

‘No, we must find a way! ’ Yu Hong covered the shit bucket, but the stench in the cave had spread at this time.

He had to open the viewing window to allow the airflow inside and outside to exchange.

‘I need medicine, intestinal anti-inflammatory medicine or antidiarrheal medicine! ’ Yu Hong was anxious. He suspected that it was because he drank the unburned rainwater that caused diarrhea.

But strangely, the water he drank before was all filtered by the dirty filter pot of Xiao Jieba, but he didn’t get sick. On the contrary, the rainwater

looked smelly, but it gave me diarrhea after drinking it.

Yu Hong covered his stomach and glanced at the newspaper of the comprehensive physical training method that was still counting down. Only more than two hours had passed. It was still early to finish.

He looked at the sky outside. He gritted his teeth, grabbed two boards and stuffed them into his vest and chest and abdomen, then picked up the steel nail pyroxene stick and walked to the door.

He had to go to the residence of other villagers in Baiqiu Village and ask if there was any medicine in the post office there.

Otherwise, by tomorrow, he would have too much diarrhea and would definitely be exhausted and weak, and his condition would be even worse at that time.

Also, we must find a way to replenish the medicine. Maybe we can try to strengthen it with the black seal when we come back.

Holding the door handle, Yu Hong twisted it hard.

Click.

The door lock turned and made a sound.

But Yu Hong stood there without moving, but waited quietly.

He even took a light breath and listened to all the movements outside.

Whoosh!

He pushed the door out suddenly.

Then it closed like lightning.

There was a crisp sound, and at the moment the door closed, a figure flashed past the door, fell heavily on the stone steps, and hit the grass.

"Fuck!"

The man got up and cursed, and shouted a few more words in an unknown dialect.

Finding that there was no movement in the cave, the man looked at the sky, snorted coldly, turned around and walked away quickly.

Behind the door.

Yu Hong took a breath, and cold sweat oozed out slightly, but his face relaxed, and he still stood behind the door without moving.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, he repeated the test several times to make sure there was no movement outside, and then slowly opened the door.

It was bright outside, it was noon, the best time for sunshine.

‘It’s at least five hours before dusk, and the post office is about a mile away. There is no problem going back and forth. By the way, you can ask other villagers nearby to see if there is anything you can exchange. If the post office doesn’t have medicine, you may find it at other people’s place. ’

As for what to exchange, Yu Hong brought his own water filter cup. The filter cup was reinforced, the workmanship was OK, and the filtering effect was much better than ordinary devices. It should be very popular.

And this thing was made by him. The wooden cup didn’t even have a handle. It was very simple to make. Just dig a round hole in a piece of wood.

As for the filtering things, a piece of cloth plus a piece of charcoal, the cost is extremely low, and the strengthening time is not long.

It can be used as your own special product and traded with others.

With the filter cup, carrying a stick, a few pieces of dried meat and a leather bag for water.

Yu Hong ran towards the post office as soon as he went out, following the direction given by the stutterer.

Because he had been there so many times, a path had already been trodden out on the ground.

The grass on the road had also been cleared, and it was shorter than other places.

In addition, the stutterer had deliberately carved marks on the trees to prevent getting lost.

Yu Hong ran all the way, but he didn't go astray.

About half an hour later.

He finally arrived at the so-called post office in Baiqiu Village - a square white stone house.

There was a fence around the house, and on the wooden door of the fence, there was a sign that read: Ring the bell before visiting.

Yu Hong glanced at the stone house, walked to the sign, and found that the bell had fallen to the ground.

He picked it up, it was a copper bell the size of an egg, and shook it gently.

Ding-dong!

The bell rang.

He kept shaking it, and the bell kept ringing, and the sound kept echoing in the forest, spreading outward in circles.

But there were no birds or insects, only the rustling of the wind blowing the leaves and branches, as if responding.

He shook for several minutes.

There was no movement in the stone house, as if no one was there.

"Stop shaking, the postman has gone to the bunker in town, there is no one here."

A cautious middle-aged female voice floated from the side and back.

Yu Hong looked in the direction of the voice and saw a short blond woman in a dark green men's jacket, hunched over and standing up from a clump of grass.
