Desperate Night

More than 40 kilometers away from Baiqiu Village.

Night.

On a tree that was so thick that two people could hug it, the white python Guo Xudong was half leaning against the tree branch and resting quietly.

He was wrapped in a pyroxene blanket that blocked the shadows, and he breathed through the air holes on the blanket.

As time passed, the night became darker.

A rustling sound of insects crawling gradually came from the ground.

Guo Xudong suddenly opened his eyes, pulled off the blanket and looked down.

With the faint moonlight, the black soil on the ground was like a fountain, with large groups of black insects gushing out one by one.

The black insects gushed out from the ground and spread around like ants. In just a dozen seconds, all the grass was dyed black.

Waves of black surged in the forest one after another, looking for any living thing that could be devoured and bitten.

Soon, some black insects seemed to smell the smell and climbed up the tree where Guo Xudong was.

Guo Xudong's expression remained unchanged. He quickly took out a small bottle from his body, opened the bottle and poured out some mucus, and rubbed it on his body for a while.

Soon, he exuded an unpleasant smell. This smell quickly dispersed the black insects trying to approach below.

Putting away the small bottle, Guo Xudong was about to continue sleeping.

Bang!

Suddenly, a heavy muffled sound came from not far away.

His expression changed slightly, and he stood up again and looked over there.

In the woods, a huge black shadow more than one person tall, like an enlarged beetle, with a mouthpart similar to many pincers on its head, was rushing towards this side quickly.

Bang bang bang bang!

"Da Pi? This place can actually attract Da Pi? Or has the intensity of the blood tide increased again?" Guo Xudong's face was a little ugly, and he murmured in a low voice.

Seeing Da Pi approaching, he quickly took out a special rope and threw it to another big tree.

The rope entangled him and swung him out with it.

As he swung out in the air, Guo Xudong quickly took out something from his bag, tore off the lid, and threw it back.

The thing landed precisely in Da Pi's open mouth.

One second.

Two seconds.

Boom!!!

In an instant, a burst of fire exploded, and Da Pi's two-meter-long body was torn apart and exploded on the spot, turning into countless black fragments, falling like raindrops.

Under the light of the fire, the large black insects around evaporated and turned into black smoke.

Guo Xudong had no intention of stopping, and continued to speed away. He didn't think that his homemade earth bomb could completely solve the crisis.

The blood tide monster and the ghost shadow are completely different styles. Their biggest feature is that there are unlimited numbers.

The next morning.

Dong Dong Dong.

Yu Hong was awakened by the knock on the door. He slowly got up and squinted at the door.

Yesterday he exercised very late, dug a lot of stones, and expanded the new single room a little. In addition, strengthening also consumed a lot of mental and physical strength.

So the state is not very good at this time.

"Who?" He asked.

Because of the effect of the pyroxene secret room, the ghost shadow no longer knocks on the door. The most likely person knocking on the door at this time is a living person.

"Xiao Yu, it's me." Doctor Xu Xu Ruoying's voice sounded outside.

"Do you have anything to eat? I don't have enough food. Something happened."

Yu Hong frowned, got out of the sleeping bag, and put on his pants.

He remembered that Xu Ruoying had exchanged enough food from Li Runshan before, but it has only been a few days, why is it suddenly not enough?

"What's going on?" He walked to the door and looked outside through the gap in the baffle.

Outside the door, Xu Ruoying's eyes were red like a rabbit, and her expression was haggard. It was obvious that she hadn't rested for a long time.

After confirming that there was no one else and the talisman array behind the door was not moving, Yu Hong opened the door and quickly let her in.

"Alas" As soon as she came in, Xu Ruoying sighed. "Yesterday evening, a group of refugees passed by nearby. A family of three went to live in an empty cave nearby. I couldn't help it, so I lent them some food."

"Refugees passing by nearby?" Yu Hong frowned, "Which direction did they come from?"

"It is said that a very terrifying evil shadow broke out from Hope City in Yuehe City. Many people died and they didn't even have time to migrate. The official people tried to stop the situation from getting worse, but they all died. Citizens fled everywhere, and they drove their cars, which was considered to be the fastest." Xu Ruoying sighed.

Yu Hong was speechless and took out a bag of protein bars for the other party. The protein bars were all packaged, so he didn't worry about being discovered.

Li Runshan had exchanged a lot of food from the supply team before, and he also exchanged some with talismans and antidiarrheal medicine, and then strengthened them into protein bars.

There are now fifty or sixty protein bars piled in the cave, enough to eat for a long time.

With sufficient food, he didn't mind taking them out to support Xu Ruoying.

"Do you want to go and take a look?" Xu Ruoying took the food bag and asked in a low voice.

"No. It's useless to go." Yu Hong was silent for a while and didn't agree.

Although he had a black mark on his body, he could only barely guarantee his basic living and safety needs.

He was powerless to do anything else.

"Thank you." Xu Ruoying took the protein bar, turned around, opened the door, and left.

Yu Hong was left sitting on the round stool, took out the radio, and turned it on.

After the hissing sound, the subtle radio broadcast sounded again soon. The two men's voices seemed to be having a question-and-answer discussion.

‘.Hope this matter can be handled well. In response to the recent large-scale black disaster, the relevant departments have investigated the source. There are seven kinds of high-risk evil shadows, which caused loopholes in the internal defense line of Hope City, and finally led to the invasion of black disaster. ’

‘These seven evil shadows were collected by the Silver Tower and the corresponding classification categories were determined. According to the public information provided by the Silver Tower, we know that the current black disaster is mainly divided into levels one to nine. The danger level does not represent the intensity, but only represents its harm to the surrounding environment and society. The seven evil shadows this time are just dangerous existences with a danger level of two to five. ’

‘Then is it easier to deal with the lowest level of black disaster? ’

‘The lowest level means that we have a thorough understanding of it, and we can accurately find countermeasures to avoid most of its harm, so the danger level is extremely low. Just like the common black bug, the scientific name is blood tick, which is a level one danger level.

But in fact, according to all the black disasters currently counted by the Silver Tower, we can find that levels one to nine are just regular hazard levels, and there are three higher categories, war level, nightmare level, and despair level. '

'I know this. The black disaster that Aurora City is fighting on the front line is war level. 'The host replied.

'Of course, we can't simply judge the strength of the black disaster based on this classification. If you don't know the intelligence and weaknesses of the corresponding black disaster, then even if it is level one, it is also despair level for you, unstoppable, and you will definitely die. 'Another person replied.

'This is understandable. But at a higher level, what are the main aspects of this danger? 'The host asked.

'It is reflected in the scope of erosion and the desire for erosion. Everyone knows that outside the Hope City in the core circle, many urban areas are facing a new round of challenges, so my suggestion is to move to the core circle as soon as possible, and to the rear protected by the Aurora Defense Line to avoid being harmed to the greatest extent. ’

Then there were some meaningless words from the hosts thanking the guests and praising each other. Yu Hong did not listen carefully. When the hosts and experts on the radio talked about the casualties and defense collapse in Hope City outside, they had no emotional fluctuations, as if they were talking about trivial things in life that had nothing to do with him.

‘Have you become accustomed to it? Or... for some other reason. ’ Yu Hong stood up, ‘Among the seven level 5 black disaster evil shadows, is the withered girl one of them? ’

He had no way of knowing.

If so, there would be so many levels and so many types of black disasters behind, and the casualties of human beings would simply become cold numbers, cheap and frequent.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of suffocation.

He poured a glass of water, drank it all, and started to practice the heavy leg skills directly.

A trace of heat flowed up along his legs and spread to his whole body. This warm feeling made him feel much more comfortable.

After a while, he came to the enhanced gray lizard suit again, and the countdown was almost over.

He looked at the decreasing number, and then glanced at the pyroxene reserve in the corner. The ordinary pyroxene he had accumulated before was almost used up. He had to go to the mine to restock.

After a few minutes, the countdown for the Gray Lizard Suit finally ended.

A blurry distortion covered the entire suit, and a second later, the distortion disappeared. A brand new black heavy bulletproof suit appeared in front of Yu Hong.

It was the same appearance of the Gray Lizard Suit, but without the camouflage color, and the overall thickness was much heavier.

The helmet had goggles and a filter mask, and the thickness of the alloy plate on the body was thicker than before. The details were more tightly stitched, and the coverage area of ​​the bulletproof ceramic plate basically completely covered the entire body.

Even the gap in the neck was blocked by a high-strength alloy plate.

Yu Hong was in a good mood and quickly put it on.

The weight of the new Gray Lizard Suit was heavier than before, about 16 or 17 pounds, but the joints were almost the same as wearing ordinary clothes. The flexibility was not affected much.

After putting on the fully armed suit, he also found that the red value detector was integrated into the collar. There was a small LCD screen on the inside of the collar, which showed the specific red value of the external environment.

Bang bang moved the suit, and Yu Hong began to practice the heavy leg skill again. This time with the weight, the heat flow generated by the heavy leg skill was much more than before.

With a trace of heat flowing all over his body, he simply pushed open the door, walked out of the safe house, and moved around in the open space outside.

With the red value detector to detect at any time, any ghosts that may appear around him can be detected in time.

After moving for a while, he thought of the escape team mentioned by Xu Ruoying, and maybe he could get some new things from them to strengthen.

In addition, Xu Ruoying was alone there and might be in danger. Yu Hong felt the four cool air that was still there, so he turned back and took a bag of protein bars and rushed to Dr. Xu's residence.

With spiked boots, enhanced gray lizard suit, heavy leg skills and four cool air, Yu Hong felt a little safer.

He planned to go and check it out, then come back to strengthen the solar generator and charge the radio and red value detector, otherwise they would be completely useless after the battery ran out.

Along the familiar route, the suit weighing more than ten kilograms seemed to be non-existent on Yu Hong. He usually dragged wood, did carpentry and chiseled stones, and his strength had been trained long ago.

What made him a little strange was that since he practiced the heavy leg exercise, the skin and bones on his legs felt less and less painful, and even his sense of touch was a little numb.
