Desperate Night.

Chapter 138 Development 138

About ten minutes later, Black Lizard No. 2 crossed the road and crawled into the sunken canyon on the other side of the road.

There are overturned jeeps, clothes and belongings left by dead people, and traces of charcoal after fire.

But even here, the feeling is still clear.

Yu Hong looked through the Black Lizard No. 2 and saw the mess in the canyon.

"Go on." He thought to himself and controlled the black lizard to continue crawling further away.

Soon, beyond the one kilometer range, the sense quickly weakened. He could no longer see the images, but other than that, he could still control the actions of the black lizard, but he could no longer see the images.

Yu Hong did not stop, but continued to let Black Lizard No. 2 move forward.

It was not until the range reached nearly two kilometers that the Black Lizard No. 2's status perception became increasingly vague, reaching a level where even sensing was difficult.

"It seems that the control limit is two kilometers." Yu Hong was unexpectedly satisfied.

"If we use internal energy to catalyze, each black lizard can lay a lizard egg every three days. From this point of view, these black lizards should be able to form a dense fighting force very soon."

Yu Hong was thinking in his mind.

He now has two streams of internal energy, both of which are of the second level of martial arts quality, and one of them can give birth to a black lizard egg.

"With my internal energy recovery speed, it's enough to stimulate the birth, but I don't know if there is a limit to the number of black lizard's marks."

Do it when you think of it.

The crisis was approaching, and Yu Hong was unable to rescue the stutterer. The two pressures suddenly increased his sense of urgency.

He simply sat cross-legged at the door, closed his eyes and continued to input internal energy into the black lizard in the second mark.

After the two streams of internal energy are used up, they are just enough to give birth to two black lizard eggs.

The internal energy recovery time is more than three hours, which is slower than before. It is obvious that the quality of the internal energy is much higher, and the recovery is also much slower.

Three hours later, Yu Hong induced the laying of two more black lizard eggs. Then he repeated this process until the sixth black lizard egg was laid.

The second mark can no longer input internal energy.

'The number of hatched black lizards, including the eggs, is exactly nine. Is this the limit of the second mark?'

Yu Hong opened his eyes, thought for a moment, and opened the cave door.

After going down the stairs, he walked straight to the courtyard wall.

The yard was empty. Zhou Xueguan and Aisina went back to their own rooms to rest. Their even breathing could still be faintly heard.

Yu Hong did not wake them up. He stood by the courtyard wall, stretched out his hand, and turned his palm upward.

Pffffffffffffft.

Suddenly, in the foggy forest outside, the sound of flapping wings approached rapidly.

Then a black shadow the size of a kitten swooped out and landed accurately on his palm.

The black shadow revealed its appearance, and it turned out to be an enlarged version of the black lizard.

It is Black Lizard No. 1, and also the first imprinted creature to hatch.

Compared to the palm size at the beginning, it is now as long as an adult's forearm.

A pair of withered yellow eyes are embedded in the pitch-black body. The transparent insect wings on the back are folded and stored under the protection of the black hard shell, looking weird and cold.

Holding Black Lizard No. 1, Yu Hong thought for a moment, then gently threw it away, letting it fly back to the forest and disappear into the mist.

'Patrol in a circle around the courtyard and drive away all the ghosts.'

He planned to thoroughly test the combat effectiveness of the grown black lizard before the high-risk evil shadow arrived.

After the order was given, Black Lizard No. 1, the only almost adult individual, began to crawl rapidly around the yard.

Yu Hong monitored the situation on the map in his mind.

Around the yard, three difficult areas had been marked during previous patrols by Black Lizard No. 2.

These are dangers that the black lizard cannot expel on its own.

The first place is by a waterway heading towards Baiqiu Village.

The second place is a section of the path leading to the pyroxene mine.

The third place is under a withered old locust tree on the left side of the road leading to the post office.

In the patrol safety map in Yu Hong's mind, these three places were marked as three dark blocks, which meant that they contained dark disaster dangers that were beyond ordinary phantoms.

Soon, Black Lizard No. 1 encountered its first danger.

In the forest filled with gray fog, right in front of it, a skinny woman appeared, sitting on a horizontal branch.

The woman was wearing a ragged, loose long skirt that was grey and stained with blood.

At the same time that Black Lizard No. 1 discovered her, she also discovered this side.

puff!
Suddenly, Black Lizard No. 1 raised its head and spewed out a mouthful of venom.

The pitch-black venom was like a sharp arrow, instantly crossing a distance of more than ten meters and accurately hitting the woman's long skirt.

Ah!
The woman's body twisted and melted, like a candle under high temperature. She struggled, and in less than three seconds, she dripped from the branch and turned into a pool of black slime.

"Great!" Yu Hong felt relieved. He didn't expect that the black lizard would be so lethal after growing up.

'It seems that even though ordinary ghosts can regenerate continuously, with the patrol of black lizards, I can maintain a relatively safe living area.'

He was in a pretty good mood at the moment.

Then he watched Black Lizard No. 1 move forward, quickly suck the melted black mucus into his mouth, and swallow it.

Then continue patrolling.

The second time, two eerie shadows appeared together, holding hands, and seemed to be two brothers, slowly and silently floating in the forest mist.

As soon as the two ghostly shadows discovered Black Lizard No. 1, they took the initiative to attack, quickly flew close, and grabbed the black lizard.

hiss!
The place where Black Lizard No. 1 and the ghost shadow came into contact began to smoke rapidly, and the black smoke caused the ghost shadow's body to twist slightly.

With a puff, another mouthful of venom spurted out. Black Lizard No. 1 rolled over to dodge, watching the two shadows twist and turn, melting into a new pool of black mucus. It continued to move forward, sucking the mucus while also feeling a slight sense of weakness.

Obviously, the touch of the ghost shadow just now did some harm to it.

"Is three the limit?" Yu Hong decided on a number in his mind.

From this point of view, nine adult black lizards should be able to drive out the activity area of ​​​​thirty ghost shadows.

Taking into account the fact that there were other black disasters wandering around and that the regeneration speed of the ghost shadows varied, the future safe area patrolled by the nine black lizards was quickly roughly estimated and circled by Yu Hong on the map in his mind.

This area just covers the circular area of ​​200 meters around the yard.

"Once all the black lizards have hatched and grown, this new safe zone will be ready. By then, it will be easy to collect humus soil and wood materials."

Yu Hong felt a little more relaxed.

The role of the black lizard was even stronger than he had imagined. It was equivalent to creating a safe area that could adjust activities at any time. It could also detect the approaching direction of the high-risk black disaster in advance.

"A standard sentinel." He finally gave the definition of the black lizard.

After a short rest, Black Lizard No. 1 continued to carry out his cleanup orders, while Yu Hong once again focused his sensing vision on the Black Lizard No. 2 that was moving away.

Not long after, he suddenly let out a light exclamation, and his expression became slightly surprised.

'Anyone?'

Black Lizard No. 2 returned to the one-kilometer range and began a covert wandering patrol.

During the investigation, they unexpectedly found an overturned bus.

Gray passenger car.

The car rolled over from the road and fell into a deep ditch. The exterior of the car was covered with thick metal plates and all the windows were closed.

From a distance, it looks like a bean pod with a shriveled waist.

Inside the car, several figures wailing in pain were squirming and struggling, trying to crawl out of the twisted car body.

Their legs were injured and blood was everywhere, leaving long marks in the carriage, like a brush dipped in blood.

Yu Hong looked through the black lizard and roughly determined that among the five survivors, only three could survive, and the lower bodies of the other two were completely broken and they were bleeding heavily, which they certainly could not stop.

The three people who survived were only slightly injured and their movements were not greatly affected.

After hesitating for a while, Yu Hong decided to go over and take a look at the other person's character. If he was not the bad and disgusting type, saving him might help to get more manpower.

He can't run away by himself now, and can only rely on other people to be dispatched to achieve his goals, and he is seriously short of manpower.

After confirming this, Yu Hong immediately ordered Black Lizard No. 2 to patrol quietly in the vicinity, drive away the evil shadows, and ensure the safety of these people.

He put on the enhanced Gray Lizard suit, quickly left the yard, and headed towards Black Lizard No. 2.

A few minutes later.

He came to the bus that had overturned on the road.

Before he got close, he was discovered by the survivors.

"here!"

One person waved at him excitedly.

Yu Hong walked closer and suddenly paused.

He recognized one of the three who survived.

"Doctor Xu? Why is it you?!"

The remaining three people are all women, or rather, everyone in the car is women.

Yu Hong judged from the bodies at the door of the car that they were most likely a group of women fleeing for self-protection.

This can be seen from the uniform suits and guns on the corpses.

This type of female team was what Lao Li had told him about before. In this chaotic era, many women have become a vulnerable group that is persecuted. With the collapse of rules and order, many women have spontaneously banded together to avoid harm and formed small groups for the purpose of self-protection.

Among them, many people took the initiative to undergo local pyroxene radiation surgery.

"Yu Hong!" Doctor Xu had one arm hanging limply at her side, her hair was messy, and her face was covered in blood. If you didn't get closer, you couldn't make out her facial features.

Seeing Yu Hong at this moment, she suddenly became excited.

"Help me! I'm dying! Ah, it hurts so much!!" She covered her arm and wailed loudly.

"Wait first. Don't move." Yu Hong glanced at the other two.

The two men were both wearing helmets and gray-white women's suits. They were supporting each other, one of them holding a submachine gun in his hand. They were both facing this side, looking at him vigilantly.

"Wait a moment if you need help." Yu Hong kept his distance from the two of them, walked over, and grabbed Xu Ruoying's shoulders.

"It hurts! The bone here is also broken!!" Dr. Xu screamed.

So Yu Hong could only grab her long hair with one hand and the collar on the back of her neck with the other hand, and use force from both sides to lift her up.

"It's good that you can still scream. At least the pain means your nerves are still alive." Yu Hong sighed, picked up the person and turned to leave towards the safe house.

"I'm so miserable, Yu Hong, really, I'm so miserable." After Dr. Xu was picked up, he was much more excited than when he left.

At that time, she was full of anticipation for going to Hope City.

And now.
"The patent for my herbal medicine was snatched away, and I was reduced to a pharmaceutical machine. I worked from morning till night every day, slept for five hours, and went to the toilet in a completely transparent cubicle. I escaped nine times! Every time I was caught and beaten. Hahahaha, I think being killed by the black disaster is better than living that kind of hellish life!" Xu Ruoying was hung in the air, and her emotions were a little broken.

As she talked about her experience, tears could not stop flowing.

"In fact, I got a little used to it by the end. Ah! It didn't seem to hurt that much after being hit so many times. I didn't expect that if I didn't run away, the chance to get out would come!"

As she spoke she began to laugh again.

Yu Hong noticed one thing keenly.

This guy seems to be in a bit of a mental state.
