Desperate Night

Immediately, the three people left the stone house. Jenny returned with Eve who was nervous at the door.

Doctor Xu and Yu Hong exchanged candles for some pyroxene and went back to fix it.

Taking the things with him, Yu Hong did not go back directly, but first came to Lao Yu's original residence - a small hilly cellar that looked like a tomb.

When the cellar door was opened, a musty smell and the stench of rotten meat rushed out.

He held the stick, suppressed his nausea, and gently got in.

About ten minutes later, he emerged from the cellar, full of stench, holding a black notebook in his hand, and walked away.

Return to the cave safehouse.

Yu Hong once again returned to his previous regular rhythm of life. I exercise in the morning, go out to collect firewood, water and vegetables at noon, and study the black seal to strengthen my reading in the afternoon.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Click.

At noon, in the stone house, Yu Hong broke a dry branch into two pieces, shortened it to a length that was convenient for putting in the fireplace, then threw it aside and continued with the next branch.

Suddenly, the corner of his eye fell on the countdown behind the door.

The numbers there were down to the last few minutes.

‘It’s coming, it’s coming. Soon, we’ll know what the effect will be when it’s strengthened to the upper limit.’ He was full of anticipation.

Although the threat of the evil shadow has spread to the post office gathering place, as long as he is not infected and has the talisman array reinforced by the black seal, he does not believe that the evil shadow and the evil shadow can hurt him silently.

The only thing I'm a little worried about is how effective the talisman array will be against the evil shadow. This has never been tried, and no one knows whether it can withstand it.

The few minutes came to an end quickly, and the countdown reached zero.

laugh!

A blur completely enveloped the talisman array behind the door, but it became clear again in an instant.

The talisman array that reappeared has completely changed its appearance at this time. Its original gray talisman array lines have been strengthened and turned into a light silver.

The talisman patterns of the talisman array have also changed from the previous level of large pyroxene to another brand new pattern. This time the pattern is much more complex than that of the pyroxene, and contains many details of depth and depth.

‘It seems to be very effective, but I don’t know how it actually works. ’ Yu Hong looked at the talisman array with some joy, stretched out his hand to touch it, and felt that its surface was extremely smooth, as if there was nothing carved on it.

"Not bad, not bad. Next, if I grind the pyroxene into powder and make pyroxene graphite, will the effect be stronger?" He has now roughly grasped the lower limit of the black mark.

It is true that each object can only be strengthened once, but if the strengthened object is reprocessed and a large number of your own things are added, it can be strengthened again.

The difference is that the proportion of your own things must account for the majority.

‘It just so happens that the evil shadow may be nearby, and with the soldiers who came before, we must be careful at all times. ’

In the past few days, Yu Hong has also simply arranged some warning objects around him, such as the thin ropes tied between trees. These ropes are hidden in the grass. If you look carefully and slowly, you can't find them at all. And as long as the rope is touched, it will drive the bell connected to one end.

The bell was found by Lao Yu in the stone house there, but now it is used as a cordon.

After coming back to his senses, Yu Hong went to another corner again, took a piece of pyroxene, and began to grind it, add water, and carbon.

Soon after being familiar with the road, a brand new Dahui Graphite was completed.

This time, he did not carve elsewhere, but picked up a prepared wooden board and carefully began to draw the large pyroxene talisman array.

The runes of the silver rune array were too complex. He observed them carefully, even the depth and depth, and he couldn't learn them yet.

So he chose the jade runes that he was becoming more and more proficient in, which were the strengthened runes that came with the jade magna pyroxene.

Soon, ten minutes later, a brand new wooden talisman array drawn with Dahui graphite appeared under his hands.

Then, he reached out his hand, pressed it on, and began to strengthen.

And it's not a general enhancement, it's an enhancement that reaches the highest limit.

After a while, a new countdown appeared on the board: '1:04 on the 2nd. ’

Yu Hong also looked like his whole body had been hollowed out, and his difficult determination began to strengthen.

He planned to make as many preparations as possible. If Jenny and the others failed to breed meat, they would most likely have to go into Lao Yu's basement to transport food.

And he didn't know how strong the evil shadow was, so he could only do what he could as much as possible.

If it didn't work, he planned to try it himself with Lao Yu's notebook.

But this is the last resort, because if you start from scratch, you will definitely fail many, many times. And you will encounter a lot of troubles.

In the blink of an eye, another five days passed.

Post office gathering place, Jenny's Cave.

"The peak period is coming. We don't have enough dried meat, Mom, and there is no hidden food. I'm so hungry!" Eve collapsed on the bed, flipping through a romance novel in her hand.

"Didn't you just eat?" Jenny's voice came from the workroom. "I've given you all the dried meat. I don't have any at home. I'll go see Dr. Xu tomorrow to see if I can borrow some."

She has given most of the food to her daughter, but after five days, she still has not been able to try to grow edible mushrooms.

Growing mushrooms is the first step in raising lizards, but now, she doesn't even know how to start. In the past, I saw Lao Yu growing mushrooms very easily and quickly. I thought it was very simple, but now it seems that it is too slow.

"But mom, I'm so hungry." Eve complained, "I've already borrowed from Dr. Xu once, so it must be gone."

"Be patient, it'll be better soon, let's use mushrooms and wild vegetables first." Jenny said helplessly.

The disappearance of Lao Yu put her in a dilemma. She originally planned to grow food by herself, but she didn't expect Lao Yu to come back halfway, so she thought she didn't have to make food by herself, so she stopped.

Unexpectedly, when it was almost time to replenish food, Lao Yu was gone!

This made Jenny and Dr. Xu both hungry due to lack of food.

"There should be some at Lao Yu's house, right? Why don't we just go get it?" Eve said unhappily. "He's gone anyway, isn't it the same as taking it casually?"

"No, what if there is a black handprint infection?" Jenny was startled and said quickly and sternly. "I can help you deal with any trouble you have at ordinary times, but you must listen to me this time! Don't, don't, don't go to Lao Yu's place, it's very dangerous!!"

Seeing her mother so determined. Eve had to nod and said that she would never go.

But she rolled her eyes, lowered her head, and touched her hungry stomach, as if she was feverish all over, wanting to eat meat, meat, meat.

She was more and more concerned about the many foods piled up at Old Yu's place. It is said that Old Yu still has candies and drinks purchased from the town. If I can eat them, it would be so great!

'The person has been dead for so long, the black handprint must have disappeared. Besides, I just went in to get some things and left, and I didn't touch any black handprints, so there must be no problem! '

She didn't think so.

Seeing that the high season was coming, the meat reserves at home were running out. If we don't stock up quickly, we might starve to death instead of being bitten to death by insects.

Now the canned food left by my father at home has finally been eaten up, and everything can only be replenished from outside. If I don't go out, I won't have the strength to go out when I'm hungry.

Eve responded verbally, but while waiting for her mother to go out to find Dr. Xu to borrow food, she quietly slipped out of the cave.

Without wandering around, she quickly came to the door of the stone house that was smashed open, then turned on the atomic light flashlight, with a trace of fear on her face, but she was forced to hesitate because of her hungry stomach, and she still went in with one go.

Not long after, she tiptoed out again and climbed out of the basement.

Because she was afraid that her mother would find out and scold her, she only found a small bag of food at the door. This was the snack she hid for herself. She decided in her heart that she must not let her mother find out, otherwise she might be beaten again.

After returning, Eve carefully hid the food, and her mother did not find it, which made her feel quite accomplished.

The next day, she went to Lao Yu's basement under the pretext of going out to collect firewood, lit the candle inside, searched for food, and had a good meal.

The third day was the same.

Day by day, time passed slowly, and Eve did not notice that as she kept going in and out of the basement of the stone house, the place she entered was also further inside from the previous basement entrance.

After finding out that nothing was wrong, her vigilance was slowly decreasing. She lit candles every day and ate a lot in the basement.

Soon, the jerky in one room was finished, and she continued to open the next room.

As time passed, she finally came to the bedroom where Lao Yu was attacked before.

In the dark corridor, there was a candle lit at intervals, and the bright candlelight gave Eve a considerable sense of security.

After eating for so many days, she was very sure that there was nothing wrong with this place and no danger. Mother and Dr. Xu were simply scaring themselves.

Humming a little song, she walked to the door of Lao Yu's bedroom and looked at the scattered clothes on the ground. She also noticed the black handprint on the sleeve.

"As long as I don't touch the black handprint, it's fine. It's so scary, isn't it?" Eve stepped over the clothes and entered the bedroom.

With the candlelight in her hand, she quickly rummaged through the cabinets in the bedroom, looking for food and good things.

The dark and cold basement was completely lit up by her candles of Lao Yu.

It was true that she didn't cherish her own things. These materials that belonged to Lao Yu were being wasted and enjoyed by Eve without restraint.

After searching for a while, she cheered and found a piece of white chocolate from a cabinet.

"This is delicious!" She stuffed it into her mouth and hummed with satisfaction.

Pah.

At this moment, a light sound came from the door of the bedroom.

Eve paused and turned her head to look carefully. She found that one of the candles at the door of the room was extinguished.

Pah.

Just as she turned her head to look at the door, there was a slight sound beside her, and the candle in her hand was extinguished.

Eve hurriedly turned back, but saw nothing.

She looked at the room that was gradually getting darker around her, and she felt a little scared.

'I have to go back' She took two steps back nervously and rushed to the door quickly.

And just as she was about to step over the pile of clothes at the door.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, two candles in the corridor at the door went out.

Suddenly, only two candles were left lit in the corridor.

Eve was so frightened that she trembled all over, slipped, and sat down.

Bang!

She sat down hard on the ground, and her butt hurt.

Just as she hurriedly tried to get up, she suddenly froze.

She looked down.

She sat down right on top of the pile of clothes that Old Yu had piled up!

“No way.!?” She felt cold all over, her scalp was numb, and she stood up and ran out.

But she didn’t notice at all that there was a clear black handprint slowly forming on her lower back and buttocks.

Huh!

After she left, the last two candles in the corridor were blown out.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the peak period to come again.

At this time, Yu Hong, Dr. Xu and Jenny made an appointment to meet and exchange supplies.

In the safe house, Yu Hong carefully took everything he could bring. During this time of training, his physical fitness had improved significantly, and there was a little more coolness in his body.

In other words, he now has three coolness in his body that can be used.

“I hope Jenny can get the farmed meat jerky, otherwise. I can hold on for a while, but they will definitely not be able to.”

After packing up his things, Yu Hong opened the door, looked at the bright sunshine outside, strode out, and rushed towards the post office gathering place.
