Desperate Night

Inside the cave.

In front of the gray-black rune pattern.

Yu Hong gently pressed his palm on the cold and dry stone wall.

At the same time, he silently chanted in his heart.

‘Strengthen the pyroxene rune, direction: the effect of dispelling ghost shadows is enhanced. ’

Hiss.

In an instant, a black line flew out from the black mark on the back of the hand and drilled into the stone wall.

One second later.

Feedback sounded.

‘Do you want to strengthen the pyroxene rune? ’ A cold mechanical sound sounded.

Yu Hong was stunned at first, and then the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

‘It’s done! It really works! ’ He was happy in his heart.

This proved his guess that such a combination can indeed play the role of dispelling ghost shadows. In this way, after a piece of pyroxene is polished, this kind of rune can be attached and engraved anywhere and on any surface.

And with the addition of the black seal, these large runes are no longer disposable, but can perfectly protect any place around!

At this time, a black number appeared in the center of the rune stone carving on the wall.

‘1:12. '

"Is it because the amount of strengthening is reduced, so it doesn't take more time?" Yu Hong guessed.

After all, he only spent one-third of the time grinding a piece of pyroxene to mix the ink and drawing the rune stone carving. And strengthening this material will definitely not take much time.

'It only takes more than an hour to strengthen it and see how it works. '

He had some expectations in his heart and immediately replied in his mind.

Suddenly, the numbers on the rune stone carving began to count down slowly.

While the countdown started, he found a stool and sat aside, playing with another pistol without bullets in his hand.

Pick it up, aim, shoot, make a blank sound, and put it down again.

Practice like this continuously, practice shooting from different angles.

Because there are no bullets, there is no danger in practice.

Twice in a row, the United Army came to catch him and tried to use him as a laborer, which made Yu Hong feel very insecure.

Although the United Army should have moved away with the people in the town now.

But he was not sure when they would come back.

As for the two people who attacked him last time, he went to see where they were unconscious when he was collecting firewood. Only two sets of rotten underwear were left.

Apparently, the blood tide black bugs at night had devoured all the flesh and bones.

This made Yu Hong have a deeper understanding of the dangers of the night.

‘By the way, if I can practice shooting and shooting by myself, and then summarize my own shooting experience, and then use the black seal to strengthen it, is it feasible? Can I get a better shooting training manual? ’

After thinking for a while, Yu Hong quickly got a unique new strengthening idea.

‘In addition, the means of investigation must also be prepared. If there are trap bells or something, placing them around may have a certain warning effect’

He touched his chin and said.

The cave safe house was built by him with great difficulty, and it cannot be lost, so the basic safety here must be guaranteed.

As the creator of the big pyroxite, the appearance of the evil shadow will inevitably greatly increase the importance of the big pyroxite. Later, it is very likely that someone will come to cause trouble again, and he must prepare for the rainy day.

Post office gathering place

Several underground caves are close together, forming a small gathering point.

The largest and most solid one is undoubtedly the stone basement under the post office.

Rather than calling it a basement, it is better to say that this is an emergency shelter built in the past to deal with war.

It is very large inside, equivalent to the size of the entire Baiqiu Village. It is located more than ten meters underground.

Since the outbreak of the black disaster, this type of war shelter has become a base for people from all over the world to take refuge.

When encountering extremely troublesome black disasters, people who can't survive will hide here and seek temporary shelter.

At this time, in the dark emergency shelter, the corridors are dark and narrow.

On both sides of the corridor are small lounges.

The green atomic lamp above the head illuminates the corridor with a dark green.

The damp and cold wind swirls and stirs in the corridor along the vents.

Old Yu, with his belly bulging, kept looking back and forth, and walked carefully to the door of a room.

The edge of the gray-black iron door was full of rust. He reached out and gently held the door handle.

Click.

The handle was twisted downward.

The door was slowly pushed open.

Old Yu was about to enter the door, but he closed it with his backhand.

Suddenly, his skin on the left side went numb, and goose bumps appeared on the skin from his left face to his left leg, all on one side of his body.

A strange and familiar sense of horror instantly surged into his heart.

"." Old Yu's throat moved, and he felt something on his left.

From the corner of his eye, he vaguely saw that there seemed to be a person standing in the darkness in the corridor on the left.

Gurgle.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, slowly turned his head, and looked over there.

His whole body was shaking, and the sleeve of his right arm slipped off, revealing the rough yellow-black skin.

On that skin, there was a clear black handprint.

Swish!

He turned his head quickly and looked to the left.

There was nothing in the darkness. The corridor was empty, with only his breathing.

At this time, he was the only one in the underground shelter. The others would move in tomorrow after packing up their things.

Originally, he thought he could survive this day, just a short day.

But. Now it seems.

Sweat flowed down his forehead to the tip of his nose, and then dripped.

Old Yu stared at the corridor on the left nervously, repeatedly confirming that he didn't see anyone, then he turned around, gently pushed open the door, and walked into his bedroom.

He quickly grabbed a bag of pyroxene in the corner, held it in his arms, and sat on the bed.

The faint light of the candle was lit, illuminating the eyes around him.

The light made him feel more or less safe.

He sat on the bed, trembling all over, buried his head in the quilt, and cried silently.

In fact, he didn't escape back by himself at all, but was found to have black handprints and was forced out.

There was no need to take away half of the supplies, just because he was infected with the black handprint.

"Why. Why do you treat me like this?" Old Yu looked at the candle in front of him, and couldn't help covering his face with his hands. Tears kept dripping from his face, even wetting his palms.

"I was just greedy for a while. I returned all the things, I returned them!!"

His eyes were blurred with tears, and he sat alone in the dark bedroom, huddled on the bed, not daring to move.

Click.

Suddenly.

The handle of the bedroom door was twisted from the outside.

The clear sound was particularly harsh in the quiet environment.

Old Yu trembled all over, looked up in horror and stared at the door.

He had locked the door! !

How, how could it be twisted open! ! ?

But the fact is that the bedroom door, which was locked and hung with a metal chain, was opened a crack.

Creak.

The door slowly opened.

Revealing the darkness outside.

Old Yu stared at the darkness and the crack, not daring to blink.

The door of the basement was locked, and a bag of pyroxene was hung on the door, and pyroxene was hung everywhere in the corridor down.

He used all his savings to exchange for a large amount of pyroxene, one bag after another, hanging everywhere, and even some ordinary pyroxene with large pyroxene runes.

People can’t get in

Neither can the ghost

But now

Old Yu’s eyes were bloodshot, because he hadn’t blinked for a long time, tears flowed down his eyelids.

But the strong fear and sense of crisis made him dare not move, staring at the crack of the door.

Fortunately, the crack of the door didn’t move.

It seemed to be just blown open by the wind.

This made Old Yu slowly doubt.

‘Maybe I was too scared just now and forgot to lock the door after entering’

With this guess in his mind, he picked up the pyroxene and took a look. The pyroxene in the bag was fine and not consumed.

This calmed his fear a lot.

Looking up, he picked up the candle, stood up with the light, and planned to lock the door again.

Huh!

The candle was blown out in one breath.

Someone came up behind him and blew out the candle in one breath!

Old Yu was so scared that he was stiff.

At the moment when the fire went out.

He vaguely saw a blurry figure with long hair beside him.

Darkness completely submerged everything.

Inside the cave.

Yu Hong stared at the large rune on the stone wall with expectation.

If this test is successful, it means that he can quickly create an anti-ghost rune array anywhere at any time.

Yes, he called this large rune a rune array.

‘If this kind of rune array is repeatedly superimposed, interlaced, or even directly arranged with large pyroxene to form such a rune array. The power is definitely far beyond that of ordinary large pyroxene! ’

Yu Hong thought in his heart.

Of course, such a combination of runes requires a very long time to strengthen.

Now his main consideration is how the large rune array in front of him can be strengthened.

Soon, the countdown entered the last half minute.

He silently looked forward to it and stared at the rune array on the wall.

5.

4.

3.

2.

1.

Swish!

In an instant, the rune array blurred for a moment, and then became clear again.

The rough lines of the original rune array became more rounded and perfect after being clarified.

The pyroxene graphite used in it also became darker in color, as if the concentration was increased.

The most important thing is that the entire rune array faintly showed a hint of jade texture, and it was obviously completely transformed into the material of large pyroxene.

"It's done!!" Yu Hong was in a good mood.

It was done in just over an hour.

This means that he can greatly shorten the production cycle of large pyroxene.

The premise is that the effect of the rune array in front of him is not worse than that of large pyroxene.

'Even if the rune array is a little worse than large pyroxene, as long as it is stronger than ordinary pyroxene, it is not bad! ' Yu Hong thought in his heart.

Looking at the rune array in front of him, he thought about where to find the ghost to test it.

Thinking of this, he quickly squatted down again and began to draw the rune array on the back of the gate in an empty space.

In just ten minutes, Yu Hong, who had been very skilled in drawing, quickly made a washbasin-sized rune array on the back of the gate.

Then he stretched out his hand and pressed it, ready to strengthen it.

'Wait. ' Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.

‘Since I can guide the direction of strengthening, why not strengthen it more directly to make it more effective? Maybe I should test the upper limit of the black seal strengthening. ’

Thinking of this, Yu Hong was moved.

The black seal strengthening must have its own strength upper limit.

Otherwise, why would a piece of pyroxene only become a large pyroxene instead of a giant pyroxene?

Can this default strengthening range be adjusted, and what determines it?
