Desperate Night.

Chapter 117 Interval 117

Bang bang bang.

Bang bang bang.

There was a constant stream of rapid knocks on the door.

Yu Hong was packing up his things in the basement when he suddenly heard the door of the safe house being banged on.

He quickly went up to the first floor and saw through the open window that Li Runshan was standing at the door, knocking on it impatiently.

He walked over, but didn't open the door immediately.

Instead, he knocked back lightly a few times according to the secret code as a reminder.

Immediately, Li Runshan quickly changed to a rhythmic one, three, one knock on the door.

This was the secret code they had just agreed upon to verify their identities.

After confirming that the code was correct, Yu Hong breathed a sigh of relief.

"What happened to Lao Li?"

He checked the silver talisman array behind the door, but there was no response either, so he opened the door and let Li Runshan in.

"We're in trouble!" Li Runshan rushed in with a grim look on his face.

The strange thing was that when the door of the cave safe house was suddenly closed, at that moment, a certain indescribable coldness behind him suddenly disappeared, as if layers of heavy burdens had been lifted.

Whoo, whoo!
Li Runshan was breathing heavily, with sweat on his forehead, as he ran quickly from the stone house of the post office. His nervousness made him sweat profusely.

"Can I stay with you for a while? I might be in trouble. I'm worried about affecting Nana."

"You're worried about Nana, but you're not worried about me?" Yu Hong was speechless, but looking at the other party's pleading eyes, thinking that their relationship was pretty good, he didn't refuse after all.

"You can stay here, but I'm still renovating this place. You can only live in the wooden house outside. Don't worry, I have special protection measures here, so even the wooden house is safe."

"The wooden house in the yard, right?" Li Runshan nodded in understanding, "Okay. Also, give me some more talisman boards. I feel bad."

"What did you encounter?" Yu Hong narrowed his eyes, quickly picked up the enhanced red value detector, approached the other party and pressed the power button.

After two beeps, the value on the detector stabilized: 52.221.
Seeing this number, Yu Hong's expression became serious.

"It looks like something is targeting you."

Seeing this, Li Runshan was a little surprised, because he had just measured it himself and his value was normal, so why did Yu Hong's value become another value? ?
He glanced at the detector in Yu Hong's hand and felt that it might be a little different from his own.

"Drink some water first, and then tell me the situation in detail." Yu Hong poured a glass of water for the other party and they sat down.

"I feel like there's something following me. I can't get rid of it no matter what I do." Li Runshan sat down at this time and kept looking back. It seemed that even in the cave, there seemed to be something following him and staring at him.

"Following you? A ghost shadow? An evil shadow? Or a blood tide monster? When did it start?" Yu Hong asked quickly.

“Just when I came back, in fact, this time when I went to get the mushroom bags, I passed a large living room and for a moment I felt someone following me, but I thought it was an illusion at the time and didn’t pay attention to it.” Li Runshan put his hands in his hair and felt terrible.

"In the past, I wouldn't have this feeling whenever I entered the area protected by the talisman board. But this time, I still felt something was wrong even after returning to the stone house. You know my situation. If it was an ordinary ghost shadow, I wouldn't have this feeling. But this time, I feel something is wrong. This guy is definitely an evil shadow, and it is very likely a type we have never encountered before!"

Yu Hong stood up, took a pen and paper, and started writing on it.

'1——Followed from behind, but did not attack at first.

2——The main body is a blurry white figure with a smile on its face, but cannot be seen clearly.

3——.'

He thought for a moment, picked up the paper and showed it to Li Runshan.

"Is there anything you need to add?"

"What about a cold back?"

"Okay, you'd better not go anywhere now. Just stay here. I'll go ask Zhou Xueguan, and then check the situation at the post office for you." Yu Hong quickly took notes and said seriously.

In any case, Li Runshan had a good relationship with him, and he was also one of the few food producers around. If he could help, he didn't want anything to happen to the other party.

In the past, when encountering these things, he would never be willing to meddle in other people's affairs, but after this trip, his fear and worry about the black disaster were greatly reduced.

I also clearly realize what level my own strength is in the current environment.

After crushing the fully enhanced man Xiao Du to death, Yu Hong's worries were greatly reduced.

"I learned a lesson from this trip. We can't always be passive. We can't let them prepare thoroughly, accumulate all their strength, and then attack us." Yu Hong said seriously. "We have to take the initiative to interrupt them, understand and weaken them as much as possible. Only in this way can we strive for the greatest hope and more opportunities for survival."

Li Runshan was stunned when he heard this, as if he had met him for the first time.

"You're right, but how should we interrupt it? We don't even know what this thing is. If it were at the post office, I could use the communication to ask my superiors, but I don't dare go back now."

He breathed out.

"But I really have to rely on you this time. I feel that the guy behind me might be no worse than Yu Ren. You better be careful."

"Okay, I see. Do you have anything to add?" Yu Hong handed over the pen and paper.

"There is one more thing. I just said that every time that thing appears, my back will feel cold. It's not a psychological effect, but a real cold. My body temperature will drop and my movements will be slowed down." Li Runshan quickly took it and started writing.

"Anymore?"

"that's it."

"Well, let's go. I'll get you some things. Let's go to the wooden house outside." Yu Hong stood up and took out a stack of talisman boards from the wooden frame. After thinking for a while, he took out another silver talisman board, put them together, and handed it to Li Runshan.

"Take these first."

It was the first time that Li Runshan saw the silver talisman board. He picked it up and looked at it carefully.

“Is this the advanced version?”

"That's right, one dollar is worth ten ordinary dollars." Although Yu Hong's words were a bit exaggerated, they were actually not that different.

"What a good thing." Li Runshan exclaimed, "That's great!"

"Let's go. There are too many secrets in this place and I don't want to show them to you." Yu Hong said directly.

"Okay, but you speak so bluntly, it's hurtful." Li Runshan held the silver talisman and regained some of his relaxed demeanor.

"My greatest strength is my straightforwardness," Yu Hong replied.

The wooden door opened and two people walked out one after the other.

Yu Hong pushed open the door of the wooden house and placed an enhanced red value detector on the wooden bed.

"My detector has also been modified, and it has extremely high accuracy. If you feel something is wrong, you can try it immediately."

"Well, OK. Thank you for your help." Li Runshan nodded, paused, and then said, "The last mail of your sunshine materials should arrive soon through internal channels. I will give you a discount then."

He knew very well that it was not easy for Yu Hong to help him without saying anything in such a dangerous environment. He remembered this favor. Including the last time, he owed Yu Hong twice.

"Can't it be mailed in the future?" Yu Hong paused and asked.

"There is no future, we can only rely on ourselves from now on. But I can try to contact the remaining guys in Baihe City who have not moved away, but the supplies are definitely far less than before, so don't hold out too much hope." Li Runshan sighed.

Yu Hong said nothing more, closed the door and left.

He locked the door, took the recording paper, the remaining two silver talisman plates, and a stack of ordinary talisman plates, put on the enhanced white bear suit, and quickly headed towards the post office.

Along the way, he held the detector in his hand and kept checking the red value that was jumping and changing on it.

'31.224.'

'31.532.'

The environmental red value has risen to 31 and has completely stabilized.

call.

As he walked, Yu Hong let out a breath and looked around the woods.

In the gray fog, the outlines of the surrounding woods could only be vaguely seen five or six meters away.

Click.

Click.

Click.

The boots crushed the dead leaves on the ground, making a rhythmic crisp sound.

While hurrying on the road, Yu Hong picked up the detector from time to time to check the changes in the values ​​on it.

Click.

Click.

Snapped.

Suddenly he stopped moving forward.

Swish, he turned his head suddenly and looked behind him.

The gray woods behind me were quiet, eerie and cold.

"Just now, there was a sound following me." Yu Hong recalled what happened just now. Suddenly, there was a sound of crushing dead leaves in the sound of his footsteps.

An ordinary person might not be able to detect this sound, but he is now energetic and focused, always paying attention to changes in his surroundings, so he noticed it immediately.

After making sure that there was nothing behind him and no one was following him, Yu Hong turned around and continued forward.

This time he sped up, holding the silver talisman tightly in one hand, ready to take action at any time.

The journey was uneventful and fortunately, he arrived at the post office safely.

There was no one in the stone house of the post office, and the door of the empty house was closed.

Yu Hong took a look outside the yard, then went back into the yard and checked around the house. After making sure everything was alright, he came to the gate.

He reached out and took out the key given by Li Runshan, gently inserted it into the keyhole, and turned it.

Click.

The door opened.

But Yu Hong paused.

Because at the moment when he unlocked the door, there was also a very subtle sound of footsteps behind him.

The footsteps should be similar to the crisp collision sound of high heels stepping on the wooden steps in front of the stone house.

Subtle and brief.

Yu Hong maintained the posture of holding the key and about to open the door.

He carefully glanced at the side window of the stone house from the corner of his eye.

The windows were nailed with thick wooden boards, but there were still broken glass residues on the outside.

Through one of these panes he could vaguely see what was happening behind him.

In the reflection of a triangular piece of glass, a blurry white figure with long black hair was faintly reflected. He was standing two meters behind Yu Hong, smiling quietly.

Yu Hong froze.

Instead of opening the door, he slowly took out the key and put it in his trouser pocket.

then.

"Laugh at your mother!!"

Swish!
Suddenly he turned and rushed forward, pulling out a silver talisman in his hand and waving it forward.

At the same time, the red value detector was also waved over.

Bang! !

He bulged his arms, and smashed his thick forearms on the wooden steps like hammers, leaving cracks and dents.
