Desperate Night

"If you still have something as good as a water filter cup, he will definitely sell it." Jenny smiled.

Filtering water has always been a big problem for her. She used to use a water filter bottle sent from the bunker, which could filter out coarse dregs. It won't take long before the filter element needs to be replaced.

As for the water filter cup in her hand, she had just quickly checked it. The filter element inside was divided into five layers, and the effect should be good.

"Do you mind if I try it?" She took out a leather water bag from her waist bag and compared it.

"Of course." Yu Hong stepped back and let him pour water into the water filter cup.

Soon, clear water flowed out, and the quality of the water made Jenny's eyes shine. Cleaner water is in great demand, for example when treating wounds.

After the transaction was completed, the two stepped back and quickly separated.

On the way back, Yu Hong found the dirt Jenny mentioned, dug up a ball, and brought it back to the cave.

He was going to try strengthening it. If the soil really had an antidiarrheal effect, then the black mark should be able to strengthen it into an antidiarrheal medicine with fewer side effects.

This is the trump card he really relies on!

By then, if the strengthening time is right, he will have another way to make money by exchanging materials.

the other side.

Jenny quickly walked through the woods and stopped in front of a grassy field. She bent down to push aside the weeds and dug out a pull ring from the ground.

Grab the tab and pull up.

Suddenly a wooden board disguised as grass stood up.

There is a simple tunnel under the plank.

She jumped in and crawled along the dark tunnel for more than ten meters, and soon reached the end of the tunnel.

At the end is a black and gray round door made of metal.

Boom, boom, boom.

She knocked on the door, then without waiting for a response, she took out the key, inserted it into the keyhole, and opened the round door.

Behind the door is a small, square room, with atomic lamps hanging on the walls. The light green light dyes everything one color.

This is the bunker where she lives alone. It has tables, chairs, cabinets, bed tools, everything you need, as well as many tools and raw materials for leather making.

Jenny got out of the passage, closed the door with her backhand, stretched her body, walked to the cabinet, poured the filtered water from the cup into a small pot, and waited for a while to boil.

Then she walked to the bookcase, sat down, took out the charcoal and newspaper, and prepared to record the encounter with Yu Hong today.

"Mom, did you just go out?" Suddenly a clear female voice came from another room in the back.

This bunker has a small hall and three rooms. One of the three rooms is a leatherworking workshop, one is a bedroom, and the other is a utility room.

The sound came from the bedroom at this time.

"Is it Eve? When did you come back?" Jenny looked happy and turned to look in the direction of the sound.

"I just came back not long ago." A girl with a golden ponytail walked out of the bedroom. The girl was wearing an emerald green sweater and tight jeans. She had a delicate face and seemed to have put on light makeup.

She is Jenny's daughter Eve, and she is also the most beautiful girl in this gathering place of survivors.

"Is there anything to eat? Mom, I just looked through it and there's nothing." Eve said dissatisfied.

"There are some more." Jenny stood up and quickly dug out a small bag of dried meat from the corner. She opened the mouth of the dried meat bag, grabbed half of it, and was about to hand it to her daughter.

Unexpectedly, the entire bag was snatched away by Eve.

"There are so many more, thank you, mom, I knew mom was the best." She immediately stepped forward happily and kissed Jenny, and then quickly got out along the exit.

Jenny’s hand was hanging in the air, and even the dried meat in her hand was snatched away.

She smiled bitterly, but didn't stop it.

She didn't have time to say that these were most of her food reserves during the peak period.

They took it all away, and what was left was just enough for her to make clear soup every day.

After exhaling, Jenny suddenly smiled again.

"She is in such a hurry to get something to eat. It seems she is starving. No matter what, it would be great if I could help her."

She didn't think about why her daughter, who was doing so well, suddenly ran back from town, or why the other party didn't consider her at all.

She only knows that since her husband died, she has only Eve as her only relative in the world.

‘She is still young in this regard and will become more sensible in the future’

Comforting herself, she continued to deal with the new old clothes.

Taking apart old clothes and making new ones that fit her well is one of her trades.

Click.

The cave door was opened.

Yu Hong walked in quickly and felt a familiar smell coming towards him, feeling relieved.

Close the door and open the window for ventilation.

He picked up a protein bar, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it slowly. At the same time, place the freshly dug soil on a piece of newspaper.

Finally, he pulled over the log stool and sat down opposite the fireplace, quietly watching the newspaper with the comprehensive physical exercise method and the countdown flashing on it.

There are still just over five hours left in the countdown.

Yu Hong simply stopped running around and just sat quietly on the stool, waiting for the time to end.

One hour

Two hours.

three hours.

It's starting to get dark outside.

The wind in the mountain forest also became stronger, making a louder whine.

Yu Hong stood up, moved his waist and legs, and reached out to pull up the baffle of the viewing window.

At the same time, replace half of the consumed strengthened pyroxene with the only complete strengthened pyroxene that you have.

After doing this, he picked up the small pot that had been left to cool, poured out the boiling water, and took a sip from the cup to prevent water shortage.

'After it rained outside, there was not enough time to dry out in one day, and there was no dry firewood, so we had to make do with what we had tonight.'

He calculated the amount of firewood remaining, then took out the candle and placed it where he could easily reach it.

Then he lay down on the quilt, staring at the door, waiting for night to arrive.

Not long after, about twenty minutes later.

It was completely dark.

The familiar sound of crawling came once again.

Yu Hong quickly stood up and lit the candle with the remaining coals in the fireplace.

Candlelight lit up, covering the entire cave.

Taking advantage of this time, he began to light the fireplace.

At night, the temperature outside has dropped to a few degrees at most.

With the rapid influx of black bugs, Yu Hong slowly ignited the open flame in the fireplace and burned.

Pieces of dry wood were added, and the burning flame illuminated the entire cave.

Time keeps passing by in this boring way.

Yu Hong had diarrhea twice more in the middle, both symptoms of complete dehydration. This also made his face become paler and his lips became bloodless.

finally.

Under his constant attention, the intensive comprehensive physical training method finally came to an end.

After a blur, the previous newspaper instantly turned into a thin black manual.

The manual is palm-length and about the same width as an adult hand. Its cover is neatly printed: Advanced Physical Exercise Method.

Seeing this scene, Yu Hong's eyes lit up, he quickly put down the firewood in his hand, walked over and picked up the pamphlet.

In the light of the fire, he couldn't wait to open the first page of the book quickly.

Suddenly, a standard running diagram appeared in front of him.

The diagram shows a bald man wearing no clothes.

It's just that this man has no skin, and all the muscles, tendons and bones under the skin can be clearly seen.

The places where force is exerted are colored red, and the direction and intensity of force are also marked.

Yu Hong glanced at the text above the picture: Basic Qigong practice.

"Isn't this just running?" He carefully checked the details on the diagram and confirmed that it was an extremely detailed running guide.

But he clearly remembered that when he was strengthening, he deliberately guided him in the direction of cultivating immortal martial arts, internal strength, etc.

What I thought at the time was that even though the name was "Advanced Physical Exercise", it didn't matter if the direction was slightly askew.

Is this the result?

Yu Hong frowned, exhaled, and continued to turn down the page patiently.

The content on the second page actually made him relax his brows a little.

The second page is a diagram of internal breathing skills that is included with running.

The same skinless bald man has red and blue arrows inside his body to mark the rhythm, quantity, time and route of exhalation and inhalation.

At the same time, there are small words on the side explaining that when running, you need to visualize a special pattern.

See the pattern on page three.

Yu Hong turned to the third page.

It's that visualization.

It was a strange pattern that looked like a puddle of black mud mixed with silvery sand.

At a glance, Yu Hongdun felt a little dizzy, and his eyes seemed to be sucked in.

He didn't dare to read more, because there were small words written below: Do not read before the practice period.

Turn the page again.

Finally, there are some herbal materials that need to be taken together. Yu Hong looked carefully and unexpectedly found that these herbs were commonly found in the surrounding woods.

There are also precautions and warnings.

‘This exercise method is customized and designed based on personal physical and mental environment. Please do not use it except yourself. If you try it, you will be responsible for the consequences. ’

"So smart?" Yu Hong felt more and more magical and powerful about the black seal.

After closing the last page, he suddenly realized that this so-called advanced physical training method only gave him a set of jogging exercises?

The rustling black insects were still swarming in at the door.

The noisy sound also brought Yu Hong back from his thoughts.

He quickly put down the book and hurried to the fireplace to add firewood.

While adding firewood, he also carefully recalled the exercise method he had just seen.

‘It doesn’t say you have to run outdoors. Running in place indoors seems to work too. I’ll try it indoors first. ’

Unfortunately, he had a good idea. He only raised his legs and ran for two minutes when his legs became weak and he lost strength.

Because I didn’t eat anything and only drank water, I was dehydrated. My body had long since run out of supplements and entered a state of fatigue.

Thinking of this, Yu Hong quickly came to his senses and then remembered that he had not taken the medicine yet and his diarrhea was not cured yet.

He immediately stuffed a piece of firewood, walked to the pile of soil he had dug during the day, stretched out his hand, and touched the soil.

‘Intensive antidiarrheal medication with the goal of reducing side effects. ’ He thought silently in his mind.

If this lump of soil really has a natural antidiarrheal effect, then the black mark strengthening should be successful.

But if it is useless by itself, the black mark may have the same lack of integrity as before and cannot be strengthened.

This has become a way to verify the authenticity of its efficacy.

Yu Hong looked at the soil without blinking, waiting quietly.

hiss.

Soon, a black line flowed from the black mark on the back of the hand and penetrated into the soil.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar countdown appeared on the soil surface.

This time, on the originally black soil, the countdown was no longer black, but eye-catching red.

‘1:51’.

real! !

Yu Hong's eyes lit up and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Although he felt that there was no need for Jenny to lie to him, he was relieved when he really saw the result.

In this dangerous environment with a lack of medicine, if enough antidiarrhea drugs can be produced stably, it will be a great thing for him and others.

‘Do you want to strengthen the antidiarrhea drugs? ’ The cold mechanical voice of Heiyin slowly sounded.

Yu Hong licked his cracked lips.

‘Yes! ’
