Desperate Night.

Chapter 103 Departure 103 (Thanks to the leader of the opera singers in the Hades Palace)
"You can't do this. Even if the three teams complete the tasks safely, the team members' abilities won't be trained and improved over time, which will drag you down and your evaluation will drop as well." Xu Fei, one of the team leaders, couldn't help but frown and advised.

In his opinion, useless players should be replaced immediately.

"It doesn't matter. My family is gone, and I only have one sister left. She's better than me, so I'll leave the progress to her." Xue Ningning smiled and didn't care. She was just planning to live a carefree life.

"If your rating drops, your logistical support will be affected, and even your equipment and supplies will be cut." Xu Fei has always been interested in Xue Ningning and continued to persuade her.

"It's okay." Xue Ningning didn't care about that, she just smiled. In fact, she also wanted to change people, but once she changed people, leaving the safest three teams, those three people would definitely be in trouble. This happened before, so later she gradually stopped expelling team members casually. Anyway, she only took the safest tasks.
"I'll take time to train them privately. They're all very good kids and I'm sure they'll be able to catch up soon," she said seriously.

"Xue Ning, you are still so naive. According to the intelligence, the evil shadow of Yu Ren will be here soon. By then, there may not be an absolutely safe mission area. How many times can you lead them?" Yao Chenling, the captain of the ninth team not far away, said coldly.

Team nine also has a female captain. Yao Chenling is a tall macho woman with a strong appearance and figure. She has always disliked Xue Ning who relied on his sister to get to the top. Now when everyone is determined to make progress and improve the strength of their team, Xue Ning is naively trying to drag this burden and waste forward together.

Indeed, capable people can do this, but the price is that they will be held back and unable to move forward, or even fall behind.

In such a harsh situation of scarce resources and intensified competition, retreating is equivalent to reducing resources, which is tantamount to digging one's own grave!

Xue Ningning didn't reply, but just smiled. She thought, at worst she could just not take the mission, as long as she didn't leave Hope City, it wouldn't be a big problem.

On the other side, the team disbanded quickly after gathering, and each team member returned to their own dormitory. Ou Li and the other two also separated. She lived with Xiao Jieba, so they went back together.

After entering the dormitory building and almost reaching their door, a voice called out to them.

"Lin Yiyi." The lady who manages the mail in the dormitory patted the small box in her hand. "There's your mail package."

"A package?" The little stutterer blinked, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, I'm from Baiqiu Village." The aunt replied casually.

"Bai Qiu, Village!?" The little stutterer immediately thought of a name and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Baiqiu Village, cave safe house.

Yu Hong stood alone in the basement, concentrating and holding his breath, without moving for a long time.

As time went by, he remained the same, motionless, like a sculpture.

About fifteen minutes later.

puff.

His face suddenly turned red and he vomited a small mouthful of blood.

"Failed again."

He raised his hand, looked at the red vortex rune on the palm of his hand slowly fading away, and shook his head.

After completing the new exercises yesterday, he has been trying to practice according to the new exercises.

The new technique incorporated many functions into the Heavy Leg Technique as he wished, and also incorporated the newly acquired vortex runes.

The booklet of exercises I got after strengthening the skills described in it is indeed very good, but the difficulty of practicing is much greater than before.
Yu Hong slowly relaxed his body, walked to the side, picked up a red booklet on the ground, and opened it to take a look.

'Basic survival kicks.'

This is the name he gave to this new technique. The name is extremely appropriate. After all, he created this technique just for the sake of survival.

Opening this thin booklet, the three moves of the heavy leg skill are still there, but compared to before, there are three more levels, no longer just the previous three moves, a total of six levels.

In addition, each level adds some static exercises and integrates them into the specific training and practice process.

Yu Hong was just practicing the static part of the first level low-level sweep leg, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult to practice.

After looking through the booklet for a while, he was sure that there was nothing wrong with his training, but his body needed time to adapt. More haste makes waste, so he could only helplessly persevere.

The new basic survival leg technique requires one thing in addition to daily diet to practice, and that is radiation, and not pyroxene radiation, but red value radiation.

This made Yu Hong feel a little strange at first, but he soon understood.

If he can absorb and adapt to the external environment with increasingly higher red values, then his survival rate will naturally be greatly enhanced.

This technique perfectly achieved his desired goal.

After looking at the exercises for a while, Yu Hong put down the booklet and went up to the first floor.

The lights were bright and outside the door was quiet. The entire safe house seemed quiet and peaceful for a moment.

If you remove the danger, this kind of life is actually not bad, except that it is a bit lonely.

Yu Hong walked to the door, opened the partition and looked outside.

Outside in the yard, the faint white fluorescent pyroxene grass swayed gently in the wind, releasing invisible radiation.

Further out, outside the gray-white courtyard wall, there was a faint mist in the darkness, and from time to time there would be tiny inexplicable sounds flashing by. Yu Hong retracted his sight and closed the baffle. Since he got some deodorizing sand from Li Runshan yesterday, he also covered the outside of the gate with a lot of stone powder to make it almost the same color as the mountain wall.

The multi-eyed bird actually stopped harassing him.

I glanced at the time on the enhanced red value detector. It was 21:42 p.m.

Yu Hong turned on the communicator, listened to the noise, and waited for contact with Li Runshan.

They agreed to contact each other once every day around 10 o'clock in the evening.

After waiting for a few minutes, there was a sound from the communicator.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting. I just coaxed Nana to sleep after telling her several stories. Kids nowadays are really difficult to deal with." Li Runshan spoke in a tired voice on the other end of the line.

"That's how kids are." Yu Hong smiled. "By the way, thank you for the deodorizing sand and camouflage method. The multi-eyed birds really didn't attack us. It seems to have worked."

When he found it was effective, he had to thank him morally and logically. After all, this time the stingy old Li was sponsoring him for free. Although he still needed help to repair something, Yu Hong went over to take a look. The other party used the excuse that the communication equipment could not be repaired and changed the thing to be repaired to a simple small fan. The other party agreed. It was estimated that this guy just needed an excuse to support him.

"Ah? It really works?" Li Runshan couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

".What do you mean?" Yu Hong's smile disappeared. "Are you using me as a test subject?"

"How could that be? I'm using the deodorizing sand myself. Why would I use you to experiment?" Old Li laughed dryly.

"Did you paint it with sun paint?" Yu Hong asked.

"Yes, there are, but you also know that this thing also depends on the grade. Ordinary sunlight materials can't stop a guy at the fourth danger level." Li Runshan tried to get away with it.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. How about the map you got for me? I plan to set off tomorrow." Yu Hongdao.

"It's a small matter, it's done. But if you set out at this time, do you want to wait a little longer? The multi-eyed birds are still outside, and the environmental red value is starting to get higher and higher." Li Runshan frowned.

"The red value is getting higher and higher. I'm worried that it will get more dangerous as time goes by. We might as well end it quickly now." Yu Hong was helpless. He had planned to wait until he had achieved some results in his new skills before setting off again. He didn't expect the environment outside to become increasingly harsh. When measured during the day today, the external red value had already reached thirty.

If this continues, he is worried that he may not be able to go out in the future.

"You have to expand the scale of breeding, otherwise I'm worried that there may be problems with diet in the future." Yu Hong warned.

"Well, I've already prepared the breeding box you asked for. You said before that you wanted to raise the fish yourself, so just come and get it." Li Runshan replied, "The situation is getting worse and worse, but the only good news is that Nana's condition has stabilized a lot. It's worth the time I spent coming to this damn place. I don't mean to belittle this place."

"Haha." Yu Hong just laughed.

"Well, come to think of it, how did you have a conflict with Ge Shenghao before?" Li Runshan asked, changing the subject.

"How could I know? They suddenly came to attack me. Fortunately, I dodged quickly. Then I saw them being killed one by one by the multi-eyed birds. I was so scared that I hid in the house and didn't dare to breathe, for fear of being discovered by the monsters. Fortunately, the multi-eyed birds killed people and left." Yu Hong was foolproof.

"They are crazy too, engaging in internal strife at a time like this. Moreover, the situation was special at that time. The support team couldn't have waited for them there all the time, nor could they send people to disperse their forces to search everywhere. If it weren't for picking up people, they wouldn't even want to leave the city. They would have left in a hurry after picking up the people. At a time like this, no one would care about a few bodyguards if they didn't wait on time." Li Runshan's words seemed to be an explanation to Yu Hong, but it was more like setting the tone for what had happened before.

Yu Hong's heart moved slightly, and he agreed.

"I guess they wanted to get a way to avoid the multi-eyed bird from me, but what they didn't expect was that I was just lucky and there were few of us, so I didn't attract the attention of the multi-eyed bird."

The two of them sighed together into the communicator, pretending to smooth things over.

After a few breaths, Li Runshan concluded.

"Everything is ready for you. Be careful on your way. I hope you can get the nuclear power generator. Recently, there is less and less sunlight during the day, and the nights are getting longer and longer. I tested it and found that the daytime lasted only eight hours yesterday. Three hours less than the earliest time."

"I'm just worried that there will be trouble if there is insufficient light in the future," Yu Hong sighed.

The nuclear motor now involved many of his logistical problems.

The water supply system is waiting, the solar energy is waiting to be replaced, and the oxygen generator is also waiting to be powered. The communicator, the light, the red value detector, all of these require electricity. Once the light is insufficient, the power supply is also insufficient, and the environment will be much worse than it is now.

"Alas, it's a pity that I still have to take care of Nana and can't go with you." Old Li said with hypocritical regret.

"There are still some supplies in Baiqiu Village. If we can't go together, why don't you go and move some of the supplies back, Old Li?" Yu Hong said.

"Well, the environment is bad right now and I can't get away temporarily. Let's talk about it later." Li Runshan laughed.

Communication is disconnected.

Yu Hong began to prepare things for his departure tomorrow.

Take all three silver talismans, and the remaining twenty ordinary talismans, also take those, and then some water, protein bars, dried mushrooms, and dried wild vegetables.

For the bulletproof suit, he chose the enhanced gray lizard suit because it was more flexible and much more convenient than the white bear suit, making it easier to travel.

Finally, he did some minor processing on the most critical pyroxene carpet.
