Desperate Night

"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong!?" Li Runshan's face really changed, and he even put aside the matter that he had just asked Yu Hong for help. He opened his eyes wide, stared at him and asked again.

"You have a detector yourself, take it out and test it." Yu Hong nodded.

"Damn!" Li Runshan said nothing, took out a detector, opened the door and rushed out, ignoring the people in the yard. Before they could react, he left the yard, ran to the woods outside, and pressed the button.

Soon, his face became extremely ugly, and he quickly returned to the yard. He didn't care about the others, and went back to the stone house and closed the door.

"The big one is coming, this is the precursor of the full outbreak of the blood tide! Yu Hong, you go back now, and the people outside, you help, take as many as you can, otherwise they will all survive tonight!"

"Since I promised you, I won't break my promise." Yu Hong nodded, and he also had some ideas about how to settle these people.

"If it doesn't work, you can throw them into the mining area." He suggested.

".It's useless. The mining area is indeed safe, but it's meaningless to be irradiated like a fool." Li Runshan sighed.

"But I can only accommodate four or five more people at most." Yu Hong thought about it and built two more wooden houses in the yard, with three people living in each. It shouldn't be a big problem. The pyroxene grass can be transplanted a little outside.

But he doesn't need to take on too much. It's not good for him to protect too many people.

Wait for the benefits

Yu Hong narrowed his eyes.

"Talk about the reward? I promised Wei Shanshan and her daughter that I would receive the reward. If the rest of the people want to come, they can't do it for no reason."

"What else do you need? What can they give? You go and talk to them later?" Old Li sighed. "These people have a lot of resources behind them, but the problem now is the deterioration of the environment. I'm worried about the support team."

Yu Hong's face also changed slightly.

"What do you plan to do if the support team can't come?"

".At that time, you can only..." Li Runshan gritted his teeth and didn't finish. With limited resources, he couldn't sacrifice his and his daughter's lives to protect this group of strangers.

"Uncle, will we die?" Aisina, who had been standing quietly, suddenly asked. She looked at Yu Hong with her big eyes.

"...No." Yu Hong looked at her white and tender little chubby face, stretched out his hand to pinch her cheeks, and squeezed out a smile. "Your father is very powerful and he will protect you."

"Nana." Li Runshan gently picked her up and handed her to a beautiful woman who was approaching. "You go and rest with Aunt Lin first. Dad has something to do and will come to see you later."

"Yeah." Aisina nodded obediently, curled up in the woman's arms and stopped talking.

"Okay, I'm going back. Give me the map of the ruins here." Yu Hong's main purpose of coming here is to try to get the origin of the rune and get more information about restraining the ghost.

"In fact, there is no need for a map. The structure of that place is very simple. Just keep walking and go deep inside. The whole is like an L-shaped. You will know when you go there. But be careful. The ruins are adjacent to the mine and have a lot of radiation. There may be changes inside. After all, I haven't been there for a long time." Li Runshan reminded.

"Okay."

"Then let's take care of the people."

"You took the job, do it yourself." Yu Hong was too lazy to get involved.

Li Runshan had no choice but to open the door and walk out, and began to ask the group loudly about the situation.

Then he asked if anyone was willing to follow Yu Hong to another safe house.

But after asking several times, no one was willing. The crowd changed from the previous noise. Although they were panicked, no one was willing to leave the underground civil defense measures of the post office and go to a safe house with no idea how high the safety factor was.

Creak.

Yu Hong pushed the door open and whispered to Lao Li to agree on a fixed time to open the communicator, and then looked at the men and women in the yard.

No one paid any attention to him.

Obviously everyone believed in the title of postman in the post office more.

The two leading officers also tried to approach Lao Li to discuss getting some warm supplies and arrange for important people in their team to live in the underground facilities first.

Li Runshan came out and argued with the two people, and at the same time, he took a pen and paper and began to record something.

Yu Hong was sure that no one was willing to follow him, so he shrugged at Lao Li, meaning that it was not that he didn't want to help, but that others didn't want him to help at all.

Immediately, he turned around and returned to his residence.

After returning to the cave, Yu Hong took his equipment, weapons, protein bars and water bags and quickly rushed to the mining area.

It was still early, but he didn't know how big the ruins were inside, so he had to set aside time in advance and prepare.

He walked along the forest path, passed through the scorched woodland, and crossed small hills for more than half an hour.

In front of a gray-white stone wall that was more than ten stories high, Yu Hong, wearing a reinforced gray lizard suit, holding a mace and a giant wooden shield, stood quietly in the middle of the stone wall.

In the middle of the stone wall, there was a narrow crack that was more than two people high.

The crack was dark and deep, like a lightning in a picture, and there was a small stream of water flowing slowly from the ground.

Yu Hong stood in front of this crack.

He lowered his head and looked at the direction of the stream. He found that the stream did not flow far from the crack, and then flowed into the cracks of the rocks and disappeared.

There were lush green grass vines everywhere around the water. It was obviously the temperature was getting cold, but there were still green and tender weeds growing here.

Yu Hong squatted down, gently pinched a little grass tip with his hand, and put it in front of his eyes to confirm that it was tender grass.

Then, he put his hand into the stream again to feel the temperature.

Warm, much warmer than outside.

After a pause, Yu Hong took out a cold light tube, held it in his hand, raised it to illuminate, and then walked in quickly.

The change in the environment made him more and more interested in this relic. Now that the search for the technique has failed, he plans to come to the relic where the rune was first discovered to see if he can find any other clues.

He had a hunch that as the environment deteriorated, if he didn't come to explore again, it might be too late to go out later. It might be more dangerous.

'Search quickly and come back.' Before entering the crack, Yu Hong set himself such a goal.

Wow.

Going in along the crack, the inside became more and more spacious, and the temperature became colder and colder.

Yu Hong was wearing a black bulletproof suit, which was perfectly integrated with the environment, but it was a bit inconsistent to blow out a faint white gas from time to time when he opened his mouth.

Inside the crack, there were many footprints on the ground, and there were many small pits. Obviously, many people had come in and out, and there were traces of dragging heavy objects on the ground.

He carefully illuminated the surroundings. There were some holes similar to decorative platforms on the stone surfaces on both sides.

These holes were empty, and most of them had traces of things placed inside.

‘It seems that they have all been emptied.’ Yu Hong took out the enhanced detector and pressed the switch.

Beep.

The red value of the surrounding area was displayed on the LCD screen: 37.122.

“It’s over 30.” Yu Hong’s heart sank, and his hand holding the mace tightened.

All the way in. The surroundings became wider and wider until it stabilized at about five meters.

At this time, the height of the cave was also five meters, and the whole was like a semi-cylinder, extending all the way into the mountain.

As he continued to go deeper, slowly, some completely unfamiliar symbols and characters began to appear on the stone walls on both sides.

These symbols and characters were written in black handwriting, and under the green light, they looked like claw marks left by monsters.

In addition to these, fine stones began to appear on both sides of the stream on the ground.

Most of these stones had incomplete patterns carved on the surface.

They are like the pebbles on the riverbank on both sides of the river, evenly distributed and grayish white.

Click.

Yu Hong bent down, clamped the atomic light stick under his armpit, and picked up an egg-sized stone with his hands free.

The black lines on the surface of the stone looked very familiar to him.

‘Isn’t this the pyroxene rune? The original primitive version of the rune array! ’

He suddenly recognized the prototype of the lines.

Putting down the stone, he changed another one and found that it was still the same rune, but the stone was broken and only a small part of the rune was left.

Yu Hong immediately picked up the pieces one by one and found that they were all the same runes.

He stood up and exhaled, and a white smoke suddenly appeared in the air.

Then he looked at the murals on both sides, which were painted with a black article with completely unrecognizable characters.

Both sides had the same characters.

He looked for a while, completely confused, and continued to walk in.

Not long.

The cave reached the end.

A tall black stone wall completely blocked Yu Hong's route forward.

There were many dense holes on the cave walls on both sides of the stone wall, and fine water lines flowed silently in the holes.

All the water lines converged on the ground and turned into a small stream, winding out of the cave.

Standing in front of the black stone wall at the end, Yu Hong held up the atomic lamp and illuminated the five-meter-high wide rock with green light.

On the stone wall, a huge round arch door was clearly drawn in gray handwriting.

On this drawn door, many unfamiliar symbols and characters were densely engraved.

Among these symbols and characters, Yu Hong quickly found several symbols used in the pyroxene rune.

He was immediately refreshed, put down the stick, took out paper and pen from his pocket, and carefully copied down all the symbols that appeared on the door.

In addition to the symbols on the murals on both sides when he walked in from outside, excluding a large number of repetitions, he copied a total of seven.

But after repeated transcription, Yu Hong vaguely discovered that these seven symbols not only formed the pyroxene rune, but also formed another more complex large symbol on the mural gate at the end.

This large symbol frequently appeared in the upper area of ​​the mural gate, with sharp strokes and quite imposing, and no one knew what it was for.

After Yu Hong finished transcribing, he always felt that this large symbol was a bit strange.

At first glance, it looked like a moving vortex. But after a closer look, he found that what he saw just now was just a visual illusion.

‘Why didn’t the people exploring outside study this symbol? Instead, they only studied the pyroxene rune? ’

He didn’t understand.

After the transcription was completed, he searched the surrounding corners for a long time, making sure that there were no other discoveries, and all the original furnishings had been dragged away by people, so he had no choice but to exit the ruins cave.

He was slow when he entered, but too much faster when he came out. It only took a few minutes for Yu Hong to stand at the entrance of the cave again.

‘The rune on the pyroxene is called the amplification rune. This newly discovered rune symbol is temporarily called the vortex rune. I hope there will be new discoveries'

Feeling a little disappointed, he looked back at the ruins cave.

'Did the first black disaster really escape from such a place? '

He recalled the mural door at the end that he had just seen. The characters carved on the door, apart from large sections of unfamiliar text, were the pyroxene amplification runes and the newly discovered vortex runes.

However, some of the runes on the stone wall were stretched and deformed, some were shrunk, some were square, and some were like dough being flattened.

With doubts in his heart, Yu Hong quickly returned to his residence.

He planned to quickly study the function of the vortex runes through the black seal.
