Desperate Night

Inside the cave safe house.

The morning sun seeped in faintly from the viewing window baffle.

Yu Hong leaned against the fireplace wall and slowly woke up from his drowsy dream.

He frowned and tilted his neck. He felt a little numb in his back and his cervical vertebrae were numb. He must have been pressed.

When he opened his eyes, he immediately looked at Doctor Xu who was lying on the sleeping bag.

The guy was sleeping soundly and his face looked much better than yesterday.

"Doctor Xu? Doctor Xu?" He called a few times.

Doctor Xu slowly moved his eyelids, his legs trembled, and he opened his eyes at once, showing a vigilant look.

"Am I still alive?"

"It seems so." Yu Hong responded, "I thought you were paralyzed yesterday, but fortunately you recovered after lying down for a night."

Doctor Xu propped up his body and moved his cracked lips.

"It's an old problem that is easy to relapse after strenuous exercise, but it was a little more serious yesterday than usual."

"What do you mean a little more serious?" Yu Hong was speechless.

"It's morning now? What's the situation outside?" Doctor Xu asked in a deep voice. "Do you have water? Give me some."

"I don't know, I haven't been out yet, and it seems that there is no movement." Yu Hong stood up and poured her some cold boiled water.

Seeing her sipping it, he couldn't help but continue to ask.

"To be honest, given the danger level outside, the evil shadows and ghost monsters come in turns, and you don't have so many big pyroxenes, how did you survive? When I was away, you didn't even have big pyroxenes, right? Can you withstand it?"

"There were no evil shadows nearby before." Doctor Xu exhaled, "Just call me Xu Ruoying. You saved me, and we can be considered to have shared the same suffering."

"Okay." Yu Hong didn't care about these, just stared at the other party, waiting for the answer to the previous question. He wanted to ask this question a long time ago, but he never had the chance.

"Actually." Xu Ruoying was a little helpless, "We rarely had a head-on confrontation with ghosts before."

"Then how to do it? Can you still avoid it?" Yu Hong asked in surprise.

"Why not?" Xu Ruoying asked back, "Didn't the little stammer tell you? How to hide?"

"No" Yu Hong shook his head.

Suddenly a picture flashed through his mind, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

"Wait. I seem to have thought of something. Is it true that if we use pyroxene to surround a small space and people hide in it, it can play a role of hiding?"

He remembered that the little stammer also had such a space secret room. But that secret room was only big enough for children to squeeze in, and adults couldn't get in at all.

"That's it." Xu Ruoying nodded, "As long as you use pyroxene to inlay the surrounding walls, and the density reaches a certain ratio, it can play a role in hiding yourself. At the critical moment, you hide in it, and the ghost shadow and evil shadow can't find you."

"What about the blood tide black worm?"

"There is no way, you can only resist it." Xu Ruoying shook her head.

Yu Hong nodded, and finally understood how others survived in such a dangerous environment.

Let him tell you, from beginning to end, how much pyroxene and pyroxene did he consume to fight against the ghost and evil shadow?

As a result, look at Xu Ruoying, look at Jenny before? And the postman, they obviously don't have so many big pyroxenes, but they can live so long without any harm.

This made him very strange.

"Wait!" Xu Ruoying suddenly stopped and was stunned. She stared at Yu Hong with an unbelievable look in her eyes.

"Could it be that you have never hidden before? You have been fighting against the ghost shadows and evil shadows???!"

"." Yu Hong couldn't answer. If he had known that there was such a skill, he would not have wasted so many big pyroxenes!

"Oh my God" Xu Ruoying was speechless. This was the first time she met such a person. It was that the other party could make big pyroxenes, otherwise he would not know how he died.

The two looked at each other for a while, not knowing what to say. They could only sit opposite each other and look at each other in silence.

After a while of silence, Xu Ruoying couldn't sit still. She looked at the sunlight outside the door.

"I have to go back. I have to take out my medicine and dry it, otherwise it will go bad."

"Let's go out and take a look." Yu Hong also stood up and walked to the wooden door of the silver talisman array that had been fully restored.

Swish.

He pulled open the baffle of the visitor window and looked out. Then he pulled open another baffle on the side of the visitor window, revealing the high-strength glass that could see outside.

In this way, light can penetrate into both areas of the door, and the sunlight outside can shine in to the greatest extent.

Suddenly, the whole cave was bright, and the golden light reflected on the fireplace and on the opposite wall, slightly dazzling.

Yu Hong stood at the window and looked out.

It was quiet outside, the dark green woods were empty, and only the bloodstains left by Jenny on the open ground were particularly conspicuous.

The rustling sound of leaves rubbing against each other was like waves, one after another.

"No movement. Be careful." The silver talisman array in Yu Hong's stab-proof suit was also fully replenished. This made him feel more confident.

Click.

The wooden door was slowly opened.

The two walked out slowly, one in front and one behind.

"It seems safe." Xu Ruoying whispered. "I have to go back immediately. Now is the safest time."

"Have a safe journey." Yu Hong nodded. He knew Dr. Xu's temper. This guy was not only tough in words, but also tough in personality. Anyone who could survive alone in this environment was not a good person.

"I owe you this time!" Xu Ruoying said, jumped down the stone steps quickly, and trotted away towards the post office gathering place.

Her figure slowly sank into the woods and soon disappeared.

Yu Hong stared at her until he could no longer see her, then he closed the door, jumped down the stone steps, and came to the grass where Jenny had been lying before.

He squatted down and carefully observed the blood-stained grass, and soon found two deformed copper bullets.

He reached out to pick up the two bullets, sighed, and turned back to the cave safe house.

After closing the door, all the talisman arrays had been replenished.

He reached out and pressed on a bullet.

‘Strengthen the bullet, the direction is: restore to normal state. ’

‘Incompleteness is insufficient. ’

The black seal gave feedback, causing Yu Hong to frown slightly.

He changed direction again.

‘Strengthen the bullet, the direction is to increase the firmness. ’

This time the black line flashed, and it seemed to work.

A countdown appeared on the surface of the bullet, very small.

‘13 minutes. ’

He exhaled, put the bullet down, and took off the previous pistol and put them together.

The next step was to wait for time to see if the bullet could be restored to its original state.

Recalling what Xu Ruoying said before, using pyroxene to create a completely enclosed space can hide from ghosts and evil shadows.

"By the way, I forgot to show Xu Ruoying the research manual." His eyes flashed across the plastic bag on the ground.

"I can only wait until next time. In addition, pyroxene can create a closed space to hide ghosts, so the talisman array is made of pyroxene powder, which should have a similar effect. I can completely cover the entire safe house cave with the talisman array."

He did it as he thought, and quickly took out the large pyroxene ink, and drew the large pyroxene talisman array on the wall, the floor, the door above his head, and all the blank spaces and gaps.

Not long after, the bullet was strengthened.

He returned to the pistol and bullets, squatted down and picked up the bullet.

The previously distorted bullet has returned to normal, and the surface color has changed from copper to silver-black, as if even the material has been completely changed.

Yu Hong tried to put it into the magazine.

Click.

The bullet was stuck

"It's the wrong size, a little too big." He took it out and observed it carefully, and found that the size of the reinforced bullet had become larger.

"It seems that it won't work." He put down the pistol and bullets and threw them all into the corner.

Eat a protein bar, drink a glass of water, and stuff some dried mushrooms into your mouth, and you'll have breakfast.

Then you strengthen the talisman arrays in the gaps one by one. As long as all the ranges are covered, it should be able to play the hidden effect that Xu Ruoying mentioned before.

The strengthening was not completed until noon, and only a small part was completed. However, there was no movement of the evil shadow outside.

This made Yu Hongxin feel much more at ease.

He thought about it, fully armed and left the safe house, and rushed towards the post office.

This evil shadow made him deeply understand the value of intelligence. If he knew that the pyroxene could build a hidden room at the beginning, he would not have to consume so many large pyroxenes and talismans to fight against the ghost and evil shadows.

So, in order to further obtain more information, he decided to discuss the next arrangements with the new postman.

Old Yu died, and Jenny and her daughter also died. Someone must be responsible for growing mushrooms and meat, otherwise everyone will starve to death. The postman dared to come to the wasteland near Baiqiu Village alone, so he must have the ability to survive alone.

So, it is absolutely right to find him.

Along the way, Yu Hong was fully focused, paying attention to the movements around him at any time, for fear that the evil shadow withered woman would suddenly appear and surround the surroundings.

Soon he came to the place where Eve fell before.

"Where are the clothes?"

He frowned, and did not see Eve's clothes on the grass before.

You know, Eve's clothes were covered with black handprints, and he pressed a stone on them. It was impossible for the wind to blow them away.

But now.

Yu Hong's eyes kept wandering on the grass, but he never found where Eve's clothes were.

In desperation, he quickened his pace and rushed towards the stone house of the post office.

A few minutes later, he stood in front of the door of the stone house and knocked on the wooden fence outside.

Bang Bang Bang!

After waiting for a while, a slight sound came from the stone house.

A tall and strong man wearing a dark green vest opened the door and walked out. It was Li Runshan, the new postman.

"Live?"

He asked from a distance with caution.

"I am Yu Hong, I live nearby. We have met before." Yu Hong replied. "Did you see the clothes with black handprints on the grass before?"

"Burned together." Li Runshan pointed to a pile of black ashes on the right, "Fortunately I brought the hidden mist, and fortunately you didn't come yesterday, otherwise I would have been seen by the evil shadow when burning, and I would have died without a doubt."

Yu Hong didn't know what the hidden mist the other party was talking about, but when he saw the pile of black ashes, including the metal buckle of Eve's belt, he knew that what the other party said was true. It was indeed burned.

He turned his eyes back and fell on the new postman in front of him again. Just about to speak.

"Dad, can I come out?" A crisp and delicate girl's voice came from the stone house.

"Don't come out for now, I'm talking to someone. Watch the lid for me first, don't let them pop out." Li Runshan turned his head and shouted.

After answering, he turned his eyes to Yu Hong again.

"Why, do you want to buy something, send a letter, or mail something? The price is negotiable."

"." Yu Hong was speechless. Looking past him, he saw a furry little head popping out from the window of the stone house.

It was a little girl, at most eleven or twelve years old, with pigtails, a chubby white face, and it looked like she had a lot of fat.

"How about it? Do you want to buy something? I heard that you have pyroxene marrow for sale here, and it's a good deal to buy anything!" Li Runshan still stood there and smiled.
