Desperate Night

"I am the one who posted the task. You two can just call me Yu Hong." Yu Hong nodded to Xu Fan in a friendly manner.

"What is the task reward?" Xu Fan asked directly.

"I need to check, then determine your needs, and finally finalize the required materials, and then repair it. This is the standard process, is it okay?" Yu Hong replied.

With the black mark, he didn't worry about whether it could be repaired, but only cared about how long it would take to repair.

"That's no problem." Xu Fan nodded, "But I can only stay here for half a month. Can it be repaired in half a month?"

"Check first." Yu Hong emphasized.

Xu Fan glanced at Li Runshan, who nodded at him, and immediately chose to believe in Lao Li's credibility.

Lao Li may be a black man, but his credibility is beyond doubt.

Immediately, he grabbed one of his gloves and began to take off his suit piece by piece.

Not long after, a burly and strong bald giant man over two meters tall appeared in front of several people.

The giant man's face was covered with grease paint, and there was a bloody wound on the tip of his nose, which was obviously a recent injury.

"The main part that needs to be repaired is the face of the helmet. If possible, I hope to strengthen this. In addition, there is damage in the lower back, which was hit by an armor-piercing bullet before. There is a dent in the left knee, which was injured when I killed a very troublesome guy before."

"Bronze statue Chris?" Li Runshan asked casually.

"Well, that guy's strength is about the same as mine, and his suit is also very comprehensive. We fought for more than three hours before we decided who was the winner." Xu Fan nodded.

"Got it. I need tools for special evaluation. I will take this suit back and leave it here first. I will give you a definite answer in about an hour. Is there any problem?" Yu Hong put away the suit parts and stacked them all together.

"No problem." Xu Fan nodded, and there was no sign of violent temper at all. Perhaps the so-called violent temper will only erupt at a certain time.

"You all know where I live. Come to my place in an hour." Yu Hong said simply.

"Okay."

Soon, Yu Hong separated from several people and returned to the cave safe house with his equipment.

While holding the time, he began to mutter in his heart, asking how long it would take to strengthen the black seal.

The black seal cannot repair items that are not reinforced and synthesized by itself, but Yu Hong can take a shortcut and perform a slight reinforcement synthesis on an item, so that he can use the automatic repair function after reinforcement to achieve his goal.

The next time he needs to repair it, he can directly use the black seal to restore it.

This ability is a very important guarantee for his foothold in this world in his plan.

With the ability to repair advanced equipment, he can easily trade for a wealth of various resource information.

And then, the only thing he lacks is, as Li Runshan said, the power to protect himself.

After returning to the cave with the Blue Whale Set, Yu Hong flattened it on the ground, then went out, turned over a pile of trophies piled in the yard, and found a forearm-long metal machete from it.

Carrying the machete back to the house, he put the machete and the Blue Whale Set together, intending to use the machete's materials to integrate into the Blue Whale Set as reinforcement materials.

Just on the way back, he had tested that if it was only a slight reinforcement, only the lowest and weakest reinforcement would be selected.

It takes more than an hour to repair and strengthen the Blue Whale Set.

At this time, materials were added, and the facial mask was strengthened according to Xu Fan's requirements.

He reached out and pressed on the Blue Whale suit again.

'Strengthen the Blue Whale suit, direction: strengthen the mask strength to the minimum. '

Soon, a black line flashed and a feedback sounded.

'Strengthen the Blue Whale suit? '

Yu Hong saw the countdown on the surface of the suit: 2 hours and 12 minutes.

He nodded, which was acceptable.

'Although the time is short, I can't just show it to Xu Fan and others. I must let them know that I worked hard to repair it, and the process is complicated and troublesome. In the end, coupled with the good repair effect, people will feel that it is worth the money. '

Yu Hong knew very well that many people gave it out easily when they saw the results. The process was too easy, and they would instinctively feel distrust and the illusion that they had lost money.

'Why do you charge me such a high fee when it is so easy to repair it? Are you cheating me! ? '

What he was worried about was that Xu Fan and others would have such thoughts.

Reasonable and logical.

This is the focus of Yu Hong's pursuit.

Soon, an hour later.

Xu Fan and Anna came to the stone courtyard in front of the cave safe house.

The fire not far away was still burning, and it seemed that it would not stop for a while.

The two stood outside the yard, looking at the lush and strange grass inside.

"This place is a bit wrong," Anna whispered. "Why does the red value data look a bit like a pyroxene mine?"

She looked a little doubtful, and her eyes kept looking at every corner of the yard.

But no matter how she looked, she couldn't see anything abnormal here.

There was nothing else except grass.

Xu Fan also discovered that when he was exposed to high-concentration pyroxene radiation before, his body had a special sense of red value. As long as the red value radiation in the environment around him changed greatly, the corresponding skin perception would be generated.

For example, now, when he stood outside the yard, he felt his hair standing up and felt a chill.

"It should be arranged with pyroxene patterns, similar to the structure of the outer wall of Hope City." He guessed.

"I don't see any similar patterns." Anna shook her head. "It seems that the employer of this task is very good. This arrangement can effectively avoid the harassment of the ghost day and night. Thus, we can have a more stable living environment."

"Yu Hong. I've never heard of this name before. If we can successfully repair it this time, we may have to deal with him for a long time in the future." Xu Fan said. After all, this level of equipment repair is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Yeah." Anna nodded.

The two waited for a few minutes, and soon, the wooden door of the cave opened.

A burly figure walked out slowly. It was the same heavy suit just now, but the tiny dents and bullet marks on the suit disappeared this time.

This made Xu Fan, who noticed this, feel certain, and more and more convinced that the other party could really repair the Blue Whale suit.

The three of them soon met outside the yard. The red value and negative value in the yard have now exceeded 100, and there are pyroxene grass everywhere, which is not suitable for conversation at all.

"Sorry for waiting for you. I have estimated the repair time here. It will take about a week. I have some materials here. They are not original materials, but the repair effect is not much different. It depends on whether you can accept it?" Yu Hong said seriously.

"One week!?" Xu Fan was stunned and looked down at Anna who was also stunned.

"Really, it only takes a week?" he asked again.

"Of course. I guarantee it will be repaired in a week!" Yu Hong said confidently.

". It can be repaired, as long as the effect is similar, I have no problem!" Xu Fan said decisively, he still couldn't believe it.

He went to many arsenals to inquire, except for the Aurora City and Silver Tower which needed two weeks, the rest would take at least three months.

If the damage to the mask had not affected the actual combat too much, he would have wanted to make do with it most of the time.

"The time is short because I don't have any irrelevant matters such as procedures and formalities here. I put all my energy into helping you repair it, so it's fast." Yu Hong saw the performance of the two people and immediately knew that he had said the time was short, and immediately added an explanation.

"I understand." Anna continued, "Okay, we will come to pick it up in a week. It's just right that this mission is over, and I can give myself a few days off."

"Okay." Yu Hong nodded, "By the way, have you ever thought about finding a place to settle down?"

He felt that the two people had high martial arts values ​​and felt very safe, so he planned to test their mouths.

According to Li Runshan, these two people are now mercenaries who live in one place for a period of time and drive around constantly.

"I have thought about it, but nowadays, the more people there are, the safer it is temporarily, but it will also attract more blood tide ghosts. There are too many troubles." Anna said helplessly. She looked at Yu Hong in front of her and suddenly smiled.

"Give me a suggestion. If you want to hire a long-term bodyguard, it is best to ensure that you can provide a stable source of water, food and rest environment. Once these basic conditions are guaranteed, there will naturally be someone for you to choose."

Obviously she saw Yu Hong's thoughts.

"Good suggestion." Yu Hong nodded and accepted the other party's reminder.

Indeed, he can't even provide a stable source of water now. Why should a strong player give up Hope City, which has everything, and come to live next to him?

People live in the city with food and drink, sleep safely, and can have fun, drink a little wine and get some special services. It is much happier than this wilderness where you can't even take a bath.

Soon, the two sides agreed on a time and place. Yu Hong gave a piece of pyroxene grass leaf as a token to the other party. If he couldn't come in person, he could take it and find someone to take it for him.

Pyroxene grass is not found anywhere else. It loses its vitality after being pulled out, and soon there is no pyroxene radiation. It is a unique token that belongs to Yu Hong.

Xu Fan and Anna left quickly.

Yu Hong went to see Li Runshan again.

"Thank you for your assistance this time." The two sat down on the new wooden bench in the yard.

"It's money. I don't mind if there are more such things in the future." Li Runshan still had a smiling face.

"Okay, I brought the reward." Yu Hong handed over some of the silver dollars he had looted from the spoils, plus a stack of talismans he made, to Li Runshan.

Although he was just an intermediary, if he didn't give some benefits, there would be no next time. Yu Hong still valued the employment channels controlled by Li Runshan and the post office supplies.

"You're welcome, too polite." Li Runshan quickly took the things and put them in the house. Then when he came out again, his face became softer.

"The mission is completed, but in order to avoid similar incidents next time, I do plan to hire good hands to protect myself for a long time." Yu Hong said simply, "But the objective conditions in our place, you know, Lao Li, so we have to solve the water and electricity problems first. Only then can we attract people to stay, otherwise they will definitely choose Hope City with much better conditions. Don't you think so?"

"That's right." Li Runshan nodded. In his opinion, Yu Hong, this young man, has gone from not knowing any common sense at the beginning to slowly becoming a little bit better now.

"So, I want to ask, what can the post office do to solve the water supply problem? I planned to dig a well before, and found that when I dug to a certain depth, it was full of black bugs," Yu Hong sighed.

"Groundwater is definitely not okay." Li Runshan smiled and shook his head, stretched his hand back, and a small hand quickly handed him a cigarette and lit it for him.

Then he withdrew his hand, put the cigarette in his mouth and took a puff.

"A lot of Hope City is built along rivers and oceans. Your only solution is to move to a place close to the river for easy access to water. But you should also be aware that streams and rivers are not safe places. There are blood tide black worms on the ground, and there are equally or even more dangerous things in the river."

"." Yu Hong nodded silently.

Rainwater is poisonous and needs to be filtered multiple times and boiled before consumption. It is not stable enough.

Now it seems that the only hope is the river and stream. But he is very unwilling to give up the cave safe house that has been reinforced with so many things.
