Desperate Night.

Chapter 163 Chapter 163 Bad
More than ten minutes later.

late at night.

Yu Hong stood outside the camp, looking at Lin Yiyi who was gradually disappearing into the distance. There was an indescribable feeling on his face under the helmet.

Most of the radiation grenades, vortex rune plates, two detectors, and a bunch of bulletproof suits that had just been collected were given to the stutterer.

In addition, in order to ensure her safety, Yu Hong also gave her the reinforced sun paint he had prepared for the car.

Compared to myself in the camp, the little stutterer who is out looking for his relatives is the one who needs this more.

If he is gone, you can find him to strengthen him later.

But if the sunlight paint improved the stutterer's hiding ability, then her life might be saved at the critical moment.

This thing is just icing on the cake for Hong himself, but for Xiao Jieba, it may be a life-saving thing.

Watching the stuttering figure disappearing into the mist with his bags, Yu Hong turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard of the camp.

Li Runshan and the others came out and stood inside the courtyard wall to watch them leave. They also helped carry a lot of things for a while.

"Wouldn't it be suicide to go out at this time?" Old Li sighed helplessly. He came later and was not that familiar with the little stutterer.

"There are always some people who value other things more than their own lives." Zhou Xueguan whispered, looking melancholy, as if he remembered something.

"By the way, the pyroxene in the camp is almost used up. Are you going to get it this time or should I?" Li Runshan asked.

The last cargo was still the part that Ding Shao and the others dug, but they didn't dig much. In addition, they had consumed a lot of radiation grenades in the previous fight against the level 8 Black Disaster Speedster.

Even if Yu Hong has a black mark, it has to be strengthened based on the large-scale graphite powder.

The basis of pyroxene graphite powder is strengthened by ordinary pyroxene powder.

Therefore, the amount of pyroxene determines the safety of the camp. According to the standards set by Zhou Xueguang, this amount must be kept above a certain proportion to cope with the possibility of being unable to go out.

"I'll go." Zhou Xueguan moved his arms and felt almost better.

Eat well, sleep well, don't worry, and get enough nutrition. If you rest like this, your injuries will heal faster.

He glanced at Yu Hong and did not disturb him. Instead, he took his tools, brought his own set of safety equipment and weapons, and waited to go at dawn tomorrow morning.

Doctor Xu stood in the open space in the inner courtyard, holding his stomach, looking in the direction where the stutterer had left, somewhat absent-mindedly.

She had just prepared a lot of homemade medicine powder for the little stutterer. Now with less and less sunlight, it was becoming more and more difficult to produce the medicine powder. Apart from the antidiarrheal medicine whose main ingredient was soil, the raw materials for the anti-inflammatory medicine required herbs.

but now.
"Go back and rest. Everything will be fine." Yu Hong passed by her and whispered.

"Well, I hope she can come back in time to see my child." Dr. Xu said softly, "Maybe they will become good friends."

"." Yu Hong said nothing, turned around, walked through the inner courtyard and entered the cave.

Bang.

The door is closed.

He took out the graphite powder again and began to process new radiation grenades.

The air purifier was placed in a corner. Apart from that, all the gains from this outing were given to Little Stutterer.

The other party didn't want it, but he forced it into his mouth.

Even so, when he thought of the level eight Black Disaster Speedster he had just fought against, he felt a deep sense of worry in his heart.

Even he had such a hard time fighting against them, how would he deal with the stuttering team if they encountered them?
To be precise, if a team of ordinary people encounters this, will there really be a way to survive?
With a sigh, he lowered his head to strengthen a new radiation grenade, stood up, put aside all distractions, and focused on practicing.

Time is like running water.

The night flies by.

The next morning, after Yu Hong had breakfast, he discovered that there was not much nutritional paste left in the basement.

Bang bang.

In the basement, he patted the box of nutritional paste and estimated that there were still twenty-five tubes in it.

"There are five people in the camp, and I need to consume two a day. That means six a day, which only leaves enough for four days."

Yu Hong closed the lid of the nutritional paste with a blank expression.

Actually, it could have held out for a while longer, but I gave little bastard some nutritional paste yesterday, and this is all I have left.

He was not in a hurry. He walked to the side and looked at another box.

There are dried mushrooms, dried cockroaches, dried lizards and some wild grass roots sealed in plastic bags.

These were the foods he had instructed Lao Zhou to collect and process.

The amount collected here is about enough for six people in one month.

Reaching out his hand to set aside some for use, Yu Hong pressed on the surface of these plastic bags and muttered silently in his heart.

'Strengthen nutritional paste, direction: increase calories, improve human absorption rate, and synthesize into a strategic food that can be preserved for a long time.'

According to his previous experience, as long as he sees what is in front of him as what it is, he will be forced to turn in that direction after strengthening it.

Therefore, as long as he wants nutritional paste, these things in front of him can be strengthened into nutritional paste.

Soon, a black line suddenly ran from the back of the hand and flowed into the plastic bag of food.

Hei Yin's questioning voice sounded mechanically. After Yu Hong answered affirmatively, he let go of his hand and looked at the countdown that appeared: 7:02 on the 17th.

"Not bad." He could wait seven days. It just so happened that building the stone fort also took time.

After confirming the countdown, Yu Hong went upstairs and prepared to wash the dirty clothes. As there was no washing machine, washing powder, detergent, soap or anything like that, he could only rinse them with hot water and rub them with his hands, so the sweat smell was difficult to remove.

Fortunately, after the hot water pipe was completed, the air in the hole became very dry, so it would dry quickly if left alone.

It took me more than ten minutes to quickly wash my clothes and then take care of my personal hygiene.

He was just about to start practicing when there was a loud knock on the wooden door of the cave.

Boom, boom, boom.

"Something happened to the boss!" It was Lao Zhou's voice.

Yu Hong frowned, walked over quickly and opened the door.

"what's up?"

Zhou Xueguan outside the door was breathing heavily, his forehead was covered in sweat, his lips were pale, and he was even trembling a little.

His eyes were filled with fear, and his muscles were as tight as steel wires, as if they could break at any time.

"It's a mine! A pyroxene mine!" Zhou Xueguang shouted. "Boss, there's no more ore in the mine!!" No more ore! ?

Yu Hong's pupils shrank.

The biggest reason why he could set up a camp here was that the pyroxene mine was nearby and he could mine and make pyroxene graphite powder at any time.

Now all the defensive weapons in the camp are made from pyroxene powder.

But now, Zhou Xueguang actually told him that the pyroxene mine was gone! ?

Yu Hong looked at the other people in the yard.

Li Runshan looked solemn, and was whispering something to his daughter Aisina. He had already prepared his equipment for going out.

Doctor Xu stood blankly by the inner courtyard wall, gazing into the distance. Beside him was Ding Shao, who was talking in a low voice.

Generally speaking, Dr. Xu's mental state is much better than Ding Shao's, so most of the time it is she who comforts Ding.

But at this moment, the roles of the two seemed to be reversed. Ding Shao comforted Dr. Xu in a low voice with a calm and composed expression.

"Let's go! Let's take a look!" Yu Hong's face was gloomy. He quickly changed his equipment and weapons, let Lao Zhou lead the way, and rushed towards the direction of the pyroxene vein.

He and Lao Zhou jogged along, fighting off several eerie shadows that appeared to block their way, and soon arrived at the entrance of the pyroxene mine.

Standing in front of the mine entrance, Yu Hong looked at the familiar entrances one by one.

When he entered before, whitish pyroxene ore sand would fall from the edge of the cave entrance.

but now.
He walked closer, squatted at the entrance of the cave, and reached out to grab a handful of fine sand.

The originally white pyroxene sand has now turned completely black.

With a gentle pinch, the sand shatters and falls out from between the fingers.

Yu Hong's face under the helmet suddenly became ugly.

He grabbed a radiation grenade in one hand and entered the cave.

Originally, there were a lot of pyroxene ores of not very high purity on the walls on both sides of the cave, but now, all of these pyroxene ores have turned black.

Yu Hong continued to move forward, took out the atomic lamp, and shone it all the way inside, deep into the mine.

But no matter how deep they went, they still didn't see a single pyroxene ore.

The two quickly left the mine and went to several other mines to try one by one, and the results were the same.

There is no pyroxene, not even low-purity pyroxene ore.

The two men stood in front of the mine, looking at the cave entrances of different sizes, without moving for a long time.

Yu Hong's face under the helmet was extremely ugly.

'Without the pyroxene, how much of the camp's defenses would be left?'

He speculated about this possibility in his mind. Without pyroxene, there would be no pyroxene rune plates, vortex rune plates, or hidden symbols.

These all require graphite powder to be effective.

What was left in the camp was the Black Wind Protection Formation, which had already taken shape and was still functioning. The Black Lizard was the same, able to be self-sufficient, absorbing the red value radiation and making up for the consumption.

But the weapons were gone.

Without radiation grenades and pyroxene talismans, all weapons and defensive items that can be used outside will be restricted.

Even if he had internal energy and the Thunder Leg Technique, he would not dare to go out and search for supplies without a radioactive grenade.

"What should we do now?" Zhou Xueguan's face showed a hint of despair.

For ordinary people, the absence of pyroxene is almost a hopeless situation.

He didn't know that the Black Wind Protection Array could recover and absorb red value on its own, nor did he know that the Black Lizard did not need to consume pyroxene, and he didn't know that Yu Hong possessed internal energy that could restrain the black disaster to a certain extent.

He only knew that without pyroxene, all weapons would be ineffective. Even the sunlight material was made from the material extracted from pyroxene.
"Let's go back first!" Yu Hong took a deep breath. He was now extremely grateful that he had used the black seal to strengthen the black lizard and black wind protection formation, as well as the wooden house arranged with the vortex rune formation.

Otherwise, the basic security of the camp would become a problem.

"Don't worry. The equipment I set up earlier no longer needs to be invested with pyroxene. The only weapons affected are radiation grenades and talisman plates."

Yu Hong's words made Zhou Xueguan feel a little more at ease.

The two returned quickly, and no one spoke along the way.

Soon they returned to the camp, and Lao Zhou explained to the others what he had seen, and also briefly told them what Yu Hong had just said.

But despite what they said, Li Runshan and Ding Shao still felt depressed as if a disaster was about to happen.

The two of them worked together with Yu Hong and quickly began to polish the stones and build the stone fort as required.

"Boss, are you sure our camp won't be affected? " After working for a while, Lao Li couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"No. It will only affect my going out. Don't worry about that." Yu Hong said calmly.

His calmness obviously made the others feel relieved.

This sense of stability was quickly passed on to the rest of the people, allowing some of the panicked campers to calm down again.

But only Yu Hong himself knows the answer.

The Black Wind Array and the Black Lizards alone cannot stop the high-risk black disaster. Without pyroxene and radiation grenades, the camp's defense capability has dropped significantly.

But he had no choice but to calm people's hearts on the surface.

In this way, while working, I strengthened the radiation grenade.

Next, over the next few days, he consumed the pyroxene in stock and replenished the number of radiation grenades to be strengthened to 100, then stopped.

The remaining pyroxene will be strengthened into large pyroxene graphite powder and stored after the food is strengthened. After doing all this last night, Yu Hong focused all his energy on practicing and building a stone fort.

With his full participation, the progress of the stone fort was extremely fast, and now the four basic walls have been built.

Using the dry masonry method, the structure of the stone fort is a rectangular structure with the formation as the center and layers of interlaced structures going up.

The top is made of thick stone slabs that are several meters long and wide, which are laid as the skeleton. Then, wet mud is pasted on the gaps on the surface to prevent waterproofing, and then a thinner but curved layer of stone tiles is covered to prevent water from stagnating in one place for a long time.

This is how a roof is made.

The final step was completed by Yu Hong.
