Desperate Night.

Chapter 15 015 Trouble (Thank you, Leader Luobowan)

The function of a radio is to receive external signals. If it can also strengthen them, perhaps we can gain different benefits.

Look at the numbers above.

'Five hours, just before dawn, we can finish it, you can give it a try.'

Up to now, Yu Hong has not found any side effects from the strengthening of the black seal, and the most it consumes is the loss of mental energy.

At this time, the axe's strengthening was probably completed, and he must have responded to the strengthening inquiry in his ear in his heart.

In an instant, the sound of the radio in his hand became blurry, then quickly became clear, and numbers appeared on the surface: 5:11.

Seeing that the countdown had begun, Yu Hong put it aside, sat alone on the bed, holding the candle, exhaled a long breath, and felt more and more lonely and fearful in his heart.

This fear not only came from the shadows and monsters that might appear at any time, but also from the strange corpses lying on the ground in the wild.

He just sat there, motionless, with thoughts surging in his mind.

It wasn't until dawn that the situation eased a little.

After drinking some water, Yu Hong left the house. There was not much sunlight outside and the sky was overcast. It was obvious that it was going to rain today.

The air was humid and he felt a chill on his ankles as he walked on the ground.

As he was walking, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at a house.

In the darkness there, a white shadow loomed.

He took a deep breath, quickly quickened his pace with the radio on, and headed towards the cave safe house.

More than ten minutes later.

Safe house arrived.

Bang.

The laminate door was slammed shut and locked.

Yu Hong then relaxed a little and sat down on the floor next to the quilt.

Picking up the radio in his hand, he looked at it carefully and found that the numbers on it were gone.

And the whole machine has quietly become brand new.

The previously broken parts were also repaired.

"Could it be that my strengthening ability, in addition to strengthening items, can also repair broken things?"

Yu Hong's heart moved.

I turned the radio over, opened the battery box, and found two blue-covered AA batteries inside.

He suppressed his surprise, replaced the battery cover, and turned on the switch.

Snapped.

There was a sudden noise from the radio.

Hiss
Then, there were familiar hissing sounds.

"It really works!?" Yu Hong was surprised.

He took the machine in his hand and looked over it again and again. He made sure that there was no problem at all before he put it to his ear.

The sound was quite clear and without any thorns, which made me feel very satisfied.

'Try tuning in to the radio station in this place.'

After he came to Baiqiu Village, he was always busy, adapting to the environment and dealing with dangers.

Now the cave safe house has finally taken shape.

At least by hiding here, he could be isolated from the evil shadows and monster insects, and he immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

Feeling a little relieved, Yu Hong turned the large round knob on the front of the radio to adjust the frequency band.

As the round knob slowly turned, a hissing sound rose and fell.

Soon, with a whoosh, an extremely quiet frequency band flashed by.

Yu Hong quickly returned to his previous position, and suddenly, with fine-tuning, a sad music floated out from the radio.

The music sounded like a funeral song, slow and long, with a low tune, which made people feel heavy in their hearts unconsciously.

Before Hong could guess what program it was, a voice was heard on the radio again.

"Once again, we remind you that due to the lack of batteries, please turn on the radio at this time every day, adjust the band, and remove the batteries after listening to save power."

A very attractive male voice came from the radio.

"This is the National Special Disaster Response Management Bureau. I will provide detailed disaster information for each region on a daily basis, as well as actual changes in various types of dangers in the black disaster. I will also provide some of the Silver Tower's forecasts and research on the black disaster. I hope everyone will pay attention."

Upon hearing this, Yu Hong's face darkened. He knew he had found the wrong station, so he immediately put the radio aside on the ground and listened quietly.

He has been moving around near Baiqiu Village, and due to physical problems, he is unable to go to larger places farther away for the time being.

Moreover, even in large places, it is impossible to obtain the latest national research results.

Therefore, what he heard on this radio was extremely precious to him.

At this time, I just listened to the conversation on the radio.

"According to statistics from the Ministry of National Security, at this stage, there are 759 areas in our country where black plague is still occurring and spreading. Each area is dominated by a large number of blood ticks, with occasional strange shadows."

“According to Silver Tower’s research, the overall intensity of the black disaster is showing an upward curve over time.

The strength of the ghostly shadow is also slowly increasing, and I hope that urban areas in various places will prepare response plans."

"The peak period is coming, during which all black plagues will show a significant increase in damage. Among them, the light resistance of blood ticks is slowly increasing. This characteristic makes it require much more energy consumption for lighting tools."

Yu Hong listened carefully, and he did not understand a lot of what the announcer said.

Especially since the overall black disaster was showing an increasing intensity, this once again made him feel a sense of crisis.

He now only had a few pieces of reinforced pyroxene left, the rest were either embedded or placed in dark places throughout the cave, serving as a hidden safeguard for the safe house.

However, if this enhanced pyroxene encounters a ghost during the peak period, even if there are only one or two per day, it will not be able to withstand it.

Hearing this, he immediately decided to strengthen the pyroxene. Just as he picked up a piece and was about to start, he heard a loud thunder outside.

Immediately afterwards, the wind began to howl and hum.

At first, a few scattered raindrops hit the wooden door, making a noise. Then the raindrops became more and more numerous and denser.

In the sound of clattering.

Soon, in just a dozen seconds, heavy rain came pouring down.

Dense raindrops hit the door, making dense and crisp sounds. Yu Hong reacted immediately, found a newly made wooden barrel from the corner, opened the door, and put it on the edge of the door.

This is used to collect rainwater.

At least rainwater is much cleaner than smelly water.

Closing the door, Yu Hong listened to the rumbling thunder and heavy rain outside.

Looking inside the cave, it was dry, quiet and empty.

I suddenly felt a sense of peace and stability in my heart.

Returning to the dirty and smelly quilt, he sat down on it and let out a long breath.

It smells bad, but it's safe.

In this situation, there is not enough water to drink, so how can I dare to take a shower?

The water you need for bathing is
Suddenly, Yu Hong had an idea. He wanted to go out and take a bath in the rain, but he was worried about getting sick, catching a cold or having a fever. He had no medicine to take at this time. What if he got pneumonia?
He immediately suppressed his thoughts, sat quietly in the cave, and looked out the window at the gray sky.

The radio keeps playing.

".Since the number of ghosts in various places is showing a blowout trend, the Administration will dispatch patrol teams to various places for routine patrols and collect detailed data on ghosts from now on."

After only a few words, the announcer's voice suddenly stopped and his breathing became rapid.

"An urgent news interruption: A vicious incident involving a ghost shadow occurred in Hope City No. 43, Wuliang Mountain, causing hundreds of casualties. Because this type of ghost shadow has a strong ability to spread, all external contacts with Hope City are now suspended, and all normal transportation in and out of the city is cut off."

"Please note that the location where the vicious shadow incident occurred is Hope City, No. 43, Wuliang Mountain."

The announcer repeated the address again and again, his voice solemn and nervous.

Yu Hong was confused as he listened.

"That's it?" He looked confused. No rescue measures, just quarantine? Not even supplies allowed?
But no matter how long he waited, the announcer no longer mentioned the news, but continued to talk about the latest official exploration results, the research data report of an organization called Silver Tower, and so on.

There was no further mention of the City of Hope that was in danger.

Not a single word.

Yu Hong squatted beside the radio and listened for more than ten minutes, but still there was no sign.

Finally, he seemed to understand.

The authorities may have no other way to deal with the ghost shadow and the black disaster except to block them and wait for their intensity to pass.

Standing up, he sighed, walked to the door and looked out.

The side area of ​​the peephole was opened with a swish, and a spacious square window appeared on the door.

There was a layer of solid glass on the other side of the window, through which one could see the rain pouring down outside.

Through the rain, the mountains and forests outside seemed to be distorted and blurred.

Boom.

Another thunder was heard.

Yu Hong suddenly thought of Xiao Jieba and wondered how she was doing now.

It must have been caught in the rain halfway.

Hope she is ok.

In this kind of weather, he couldn't possibly go out to look for someone rashly. Besides, Little Stutter's physical fitness was much stronger than his, so even if he found the person, he would only be a burden.

Thinking of this, Yu Hong sat down on the ground and relaxed his body.

Taking advantage of the moment when he was alone, safe and quiet, he turned off the radio, picked up the pyroxite and continued to strengthen it.

The two most troublesome things now are that there may not be enough candles and there may not be enough enhanced pyroxene.

Tomorrow is the last day, the deadline before the peak period, and they can go out together and change some candles.

As for pyroxene, we can only strengthen it while letting the little stammerer rush to finish the painting.

"If it is true as the radio said, the black disaster is getting stronger and stronger, then... how will ordinary people with poor resources in the wild survive in the future?" Yu Hong suddenly felt a little scared.

He is a person who is easily frightened, timid and afraid of things, but because of this, he always thinks problems are extremely complicated and dangerous.

This is an extremely abnormal idea.

However, in this environment, this trait seems to have played a good role.

'If there is no one outside, I can't survive without food even if I have the Black Mark enhancement.

So I had to find my own way to food. Be self-sufficient.'

Now that safety was basically guaranteed, Yu Hong turned his attention to food.

"And I need to get a water filter. I can't make these myself. I need to think about it carefully."

Boom.

It was raining heavily in the mountains and forests. The dense rain almost formed fog, covering the forest and blocking the view.

The morning should have been bright, but now it was dark due to the heavy rain.

The vast mountain forest is like a piece of bread covered with green mold.

At the edge of the area, there were two figures, like two sesame seeds, rushing quickly towards Baiqiu Village.

The two men were wearing black raincoats, holding hiking sticks, and running quickly with very familiar steps.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! It's getting dark, those ghost things will come out soon!" The figure behind kept panting and urging.

"I know. I'll be there right away." The petite figure in front answered stutteringly. It was the little stuttering Yiyi who had just returned from outside.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the foot of the white hill of the village, stepped onto the gravel road, and rushed all the way.

Bang.

When he arrived at the door of the house, the little stutterer took out the key to open the door, with one hand ready to sprinkle the pyroxene at any time.

Fortunately, there were no accidents.

The two entered the house smoothly without any danger.

Just as the two entered the house, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared on the gravel road outside, illuminating a pale area.

The moment the light brightened, it revealed the blurry figures standing on the gravel road.

Soon, the lightning disappeared, and the figure disappeared with it, like a bubble.
