Desperate Night.

Chapter 14 014 Experiment (Leader Xie Tianli)
There was no movement, and no numbers emerged.

'It seems that it is not possible.'

He looked up in disappointment.

After taking a break and thinking about it, he suddenly recalled the two people he had just seen.

'Danger does not necessarily come only from monsters and ghosts, it may also come from people. Therefore, safety issues must be put first.'

"My physical fitness is not good. It is much worse than that of Little Stutter. I haven't even fully adapted to life here. In the short term, the fastest way to ensure safety is equipment!"

But he has no equipment at hand. Is he going to use a strengthened axe to fight against others?
His eyes fell on the axe, saw, nails, hammer and other tools.

Shaking his head in his heart, he didn't hold out much hope.

But no matter what, he walked over, picked up the axe, looked at the number that appeared on it, and confirmed the start of the strengthening.

"Since we still have time, let's try strengthening it first."

Once you're sure you've started, put the axe in a corner and block it with something.

He walked to the door again and looked out through the peephole.

There was no one outside and it was quiet.

The wind rustled the leaves, and there was no sound of even insects or birds.

Click.

Yu Hong opened the door, walked out with the bag of protein bars, and looked around warily.

He checked the steel-nailed pyroxene wood stick tied to his waist. This thing had helped him a lot last time.

The effect is very obvious when encountering a ghost.

Although according to what Xiao Jieba said, the ghost shadow cannot be killed and will reappear automatically soon.

But it is enough to solve the immediate crisis.

After closing the wooden door, Yu Hong frowned.

"There's nothing to hide, and if someone finds out, everything inside might be gone."

He touched the door lock.

Inside the round keyhole is a standard metal structure, cold and hard.

The wooden door was originally unlocked, and he didn't know how to make a lock. But after strengthening, the lock appeared by itself, and it also came with several keys.

This is also why Yu Hong is quite curious about the black seal strengthening mechanism.

He stood at the door, picked up a lot of branches and vines from the surroundings, and then scattered them on the entrance of the cave.

This way, it won't be very noticeable from a distance.

Although it is still unsafe, it is much better than before.

After taking good cover, he quietly headed towards Baiqiu Village.

The emergence of protein bars alleviated the food shortage problem for the two, but the more critical thing now is the candles.

Not enough candles!
If the rally really extends to six days, their current three candles will not be enough.

Have to replace a few more.

After walking along the familiar mountain road for more than ten minutes, Baiqiu Village came into sight.

Yu Hong was about to move forward when he suddenly stopped.

His expression changed slightly, he looked in the direction of Baiqiu Village, and quickly hid behind a tree trunk.

Between his location and the old road to Baiqiu Village, there was a person lying on the grass.

A skinny black-haired man wearing camouflage clothes.

The man didn't move, and a large amount of blood was flowing out from his body, dyeing the grass red.

"Dead?" Yu Hong hid behind the tree trunk, his heart quickly tense.

He stood there, motionless, observing carefully.

I even dared not breathe too heavily, for fear of disturbing something around me.

I hid like this for a long time.

The man was still motionless, and Yu Hongcai guessed that he was either dead or in a coma.

He looked around to make sure that there was no one hiding before he slowly walked out of the tree trunk and approached the other party little by little.

Walking up to the man, he squatted down and patted him on the shoulder.

"Hey?"

No movement.

Yu Hong reached out and touched the side of the man's neck.

Cold.

His heart skipped a beat, knowing that the other person was really dead.

A dead body.
A corpse of a person I just saw.
When he thought of this, Yu Hong's face turned pale.

His abdomen was tight, his breathing was rapid, his pupils were dilated, and he had a vague urge to vomit. He felt that his hands, which had just touched the other person, were no longer clean.

Fighting back the nausea.

He reached out, grabbed the corpse's shoulders and turned it over.

puff.

The black-haired man was lying on the ground with his face up.

There was a clear dark red blood hole on his left chest. His eyes were wide open and his mouth was open, as if he was roaring.

Yu Hong didn't dare to look any longer and quickly searched the man's pockets.

The two shirt pockets, the trouser pockets, the waist bag, and soon everywhere was searched.

There was no food, no useful tools, only a broken and cracked black radio.

Yu Hong picked up the radio and ran away. He didn't want to stay with a corpse any longer.

Although he had thought beforehand that he might see a similar scene, when a corpse actually appeared before his eyes, he could not suppress the churning in his stomach.

He ran all the way, and soon he arrived at the door of the stuttering boy's house.

Bang bang bang.

He knocked quickly on the door.

"Little stutterer, open the door quickly!" Then he quickly recited a string of messy numbers.

This was the code they agreed upon.

Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
The continuous knocking on the door was particularly harsh in Baiqiu Village at dusk.

On weekdays, whenever Yu Hong came and knocked on the door, the little stutterer would open it quickly.

But this time, there was no movement in the room for a long time.

"Little stutterer?" Yu Hong couldn't help but raise his voice.

The knocking on the door and his shouts echoed on both sides of the gravel road in the village.

The sound also came from the empty black houses, gathering and dispersing. The village became increasingly quiet.

"Little stutterer!?" Yu Hong felt a little uneasy. Could it be that the person was not there?
He looked back around, made sure there were no ghosts, and stopped knocking on the door.

Where on earth did that guy go at this time? It was about to get dark. If we didn’t find a place to hide, it would be too dangerous!

His breathing became rapid, holding the bag of protein bars in one hand and quietly holding the hanging steel nail pyroxene stick with the other hand.

"Coming!" Suddenly, a familiar response came from the room.

It's a little stutterer!

Yu Hong was delighted and knocked on the door again.

"It's getting dark, let me in first."

"Okay," the stuttering voice responded again from inside the door.

"I'll be there right away."

Yu Hong breathed a sigh of relief and kept looking around vigilantly, fearing that the strange man in white would appear again.

This village is very abnormal.

There are many more strange shadows than those in the cave outside.

This is also one of the reasons why he is eager to move out.

Waited for ten seconds.

"Are you here?" Seeing that the door had not been opened yet, Yu Hong frowned slightly.

It's getting dark outside. If I don't go in, it will be really dangerous.

"coming."

A stuttering voice suddenly sounded behind the door.

The distance is very close.

It's like talking right against the door.

But Yu Hong just now didn't hear any footsteps in the room at all!
In such an extremely quiet environment, it was impossible for him not to hear the sounds in the house.

But during those few times when he stuttered, there was no sound of footsteps at all.

just like.
It was as if she suddenly appeared behind the door.

At this moment, Yu Hong's scalp felt numb again.

Click.

The door slowly opened a crack.

Bang! ! !
Just then, he kicked out suddenly and hit the wooden door.

There was a loud bang, and Yu Hong picked up the steel nail rod and smashed it inside!
“Die die die die!!!”

He was completely overcome with fear, and he smashed the door with the steel nail rod inlaid with reinforced pyroxene.

Puff puff puff!

Behind the door, a pale figure was smashed into pieces by the stick before it could even show up, and then disappeared.

"Little stutterer!" Yu Hong roared and rushed into the room. Fear drove him to scan the house frantically, holding the stick and ready to smash everything at any time.

But it was empty inside, no one was there.

There was only a piece of paper on the table with traces of charcoal on it.

Yu Hong was breathing heavily, and then he realized that sticky liquid was dripping from his nostrils.

He wiped it and saw bright red, it was blood.

"What kind of ghost shadow is this time? It made me bleed without even touching me." He felt a sharp pain in his chest and when he looked down, he saw that a finger-long cut had appeared on his clothes on his chest.

The flesh inside showed scars as if it had been cut by a knife, and blood was slowly oozing out of it.

It was obvious that the ghost shadow just now used some unknown means to hurt him.

Bang.

Close the door and light a candle.

Yu Hong sat in a chair, breathing deeply and slowly.

“This damn place!!”

He lowered his head and cursed.

"What a fucking hell!!"

After a few breaths, he cursed again in a suppressed voice.

The candlelight dragged his shadow long and swaying on the ground.

Picking up the paper on the table, Yu Hong suppressed the sadness in his heart and took a look.

"I'm going to change the candles and will be back tomorrow."

There are no punctuation marks, not even paragraphs, and the words are written very crookedly. The only thing I'm thankful for is that I can understand it.

Putting down the paper, Yu Hong pinched his nose with one hand, waiting for the nosebleed to stop.

"I must build a safe house that is absolutely safe! I will never be afraid of any danger again! I must!"

He had had enough of this damn place, full of traps and disguises!
Holding the candle, he stood up and sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes fixed on the cracks in the door and window.

That's where the black bugs might have gotten in.

There is no fixed time for the black bugs to attack, and they occur at intervals of three to five days.

According to Xiao Jieba, there were not so many black bugs and they were not so dense at the beginning.

Now there seems to be more and more, and the consumption of candles is much greater.

After waiting for a long time, the nosebleed stopped and Yu Hong freed one hand to check the wound on his chest.

Fortunately, the wound didn't feel numb or itchy, but because there was no clean water, I had to endure it. Once an infection occurred, it would have been a big problem.

After making sure that everything was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, listening to the whistling wind outside, sitting alone on the edge of the bed, feeling a strong sense of loneliness rising in his heart.

"Perhaps, I am the only one left in Baiqiu Village now?"

All the villagers went out and left, leaving little Jieba living here alone.

Yu Hong didn't know how she survived, but it must have been very hard and dangerous.

He let out a long sigh and leaned back.

Suddenly, something hard was pressed against my buttocks.

Um?
He reached out and touched it, picked it up and took a look.

It's a radio.

'Wait, a broken radio, can it be enhanced?'

Yu Hong was about to put it aside when this thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

As soon as I thought of it, a number suddenly appeared on the surface of the radio: 5:12.
