Desperate Night.

Chapter 172 Threat 172

"Even if we stop the insects, there will be more and stronger black disasters coming. Can I really keep going like this?" Yu Hong had a doubt in his heart.

He felt that he had to determine the direction for the future development of the entire camp.

'We must achieve complete self-sufficiency! We must not rely on external things, and we must conduct a closed self-circulation, and then strengthen our external defense capabilities.'

"In this case, an absolutely solid and safe camp protection is essential, and then an internal self-circulating self-sufficient system must also be established. Others don't have this possibility, but I have the Black Seal, so it is not impossible to achieve it."

After exhaling, Yu Hong stood up and looked into the distance.

The sunlight is gradually fading and the fog is getting heavier and thicker.

The gray fog was gradually blocking the sun from afar and spreading towards here.

It is like a large ball of gray-black cotton, or like a large gray cloud, casting a faint shadow on the ground of the mountains and forests.

The shadow moved quickly and approached quickly, covering the mountains and forests, Baiqiu Village, and the camp.

Until Yu Hong on the roof of the stone fort was completely covered.

He raised his head and looked at the sun again.

At this moment, the dazzling sunlight completely disappeared, never to be seen again.

puff.

Yu Hong jumped lightly, held the outer wall of the stone wall with one hand, slid down, and then jumped steadily off the ten-meter-high roof, rolled on the ground, and stood up after relieving the force.

After taking a last look at the sky, he opened the door, entered the cave, and began to practice hard.

A few days later again.

The formation was about to be strengthened, but Ding Shao decided to leave early and not carry out the mission with the car.

She went out quietly and checked the safe route named Black Disaster Rift summarized by Lao Zhou. She decided to leave immediately while the route was still valid.

Yu Hong condensed the third internal energy of the third level, but even so, he had no good way to deal with the insect people.

Everyone saw Ding Shao off in the camp.

"You don't have to be so anxious." Yu Hong said. He handed the other person a set of female bulletproof vests that he had painted with hidden symbols in his free time these few days.

This is the last set of women's bulletproof suits, and the only ones left are two sets for men.

Moreover, with the depletion of pyroxene, new symbols can only be carved by relying on the abundant reserves of pyroxene graphite powder. It is still unknown whether the symbols and runes will still be useful in the future.

"I think we should go to the big stronghold and take a look." Ding Shao whispered.

"You are quite frank." Yu Hong smiled. "It's up to you to decide. If you want, you can stay there. But if you find a new symbol and want to come back, you're welcome here."

He gave Ding Shao, Zhang Kaijun and Wei Song the addresses of the two bases. Everything was up to the other party to decide.

"Since you want to go to the main base and possibly escape, I can't give you too many supplies. I hope you understand this." Yu Hong continued. This is also fair to other camp members.

Since Ding Shao was planning to leave the camp, it was impossible to give her too many supplies to take away. At most, she could be given some resources for her previous help and contribution to the camp.

"I know. I'm already very grateful that you've taken me in for so long." Ding Shao said solemnly. "I don't need the car anymore. Just some basic supplies would be nice."

"Xiao Ding, are you really determined to leave?" Old Li was a little reluctant. It was rare to have a beautiful woman in the camp, and she was leaving just like that.

"Take care, Brother Li, and don't take the boss's business on yourself anymore." Ding Shao said with a smile.

"Sister, you will regret this." Aisina suddenly said.

"." Ding Shao was stunned for a moment, then she revealed an inexplicable smile and reached out to rub Aisina's hair.

Old Zhou said nothing and didn't care about Ding Shao's departure.

Soon, Yu Hong prepared some food and water for her, and gave her some foldable vortex talisman boards for self-defense.

Then watch the other person leave.

Ding Shao didn't take the radiation grenade, which meant she really planned to go to another base.

The lack of pyroxene supply may be the key reason why it decided to leave here.

Yu Hong noticed that Lao Li seemed to be staring at Ding Shao's back for a long time without moving.

"Everyone, don't worry. I'm strengthening the camp's defense capabilities. Everything will be fine in the future. Even if there's no pyroxene, I have newly designed protection measures." Yu Hong consoled.

He was thinking that after he stabilized, he might be able to find a black seal to strengthen a basic technique that would allow him to cultivate internal energy like an ordinary person.

The effect does not need to be too strong, but it must be popular enough to improve the strength of ordinary people and increase the survivability of camp members.

Of course, in order to avoid it from spreading and becoming a means for the enemy to deal with you and seize your camp, it is best for this technique to be able to distinguish between friend and foe. Once it is used against you, it will automatically become ineffective and you will permanently lose your internal strength.

As for the ability of the black seal, Yu Hong did not doubt whether it could strengthen it to produce something like this. The key is time.
There are too many things that need to be strengthened by the black seal.

Soon, Ding Shao's back disappeared in the mist, and the few people dispersed.

When Yu Hong went back, he paused.

In his mind, he controlled another black lizard to spit at the approaching insect man after a few seconds.

Three black lizards died, successfully luring away another insect man approaching the camp.

These days, the method of spitting to lure them away has become less and less effective. The distance that can be used to lure them away is getting closer and closer. The insect people seem to be adapting to this method, and it is becoming less and less effective.

At the beginning, it could be diverted hundreds of meters, but now it can only be diverted thirty or forty meters at most.

"It's almost there. It's almost there." Before entering the public passage, Yu Hong glanced at the countdown of the formation on the ground in the inner courtyard.

'16:7.'

He withdrew his gaze, waited for everyone to come in, closed the door, locked it, and then followed into the cave gate.

In the last ten hours, he had to be alert at all times and pay attention to the movements of the insect people outside. If he fell before dawn at the critical moment, it would be too worthless.

Without resting or practicing, Yu Hong just sat at the door, monitoring the situation outside the camp through the mark and the black lizard at any time.

One hour.

Two hours.

Five hours.

He took nutritional paste and water, took a hot shower and went to the toilet.

They carried the large jars of excrement out and dumped them into a large pit outside the camp.

It was completely dark outside, with no other lighting except the lights in the camp.

Faintly, he seemed to hear the faint sounds of insects flying outside, rustling and rustling, many, many of them.

"It's not a blood tick. Blood ticks can't fly. Maybe it's a bug man."

With his mind alert, Yu Hong turned around, returned to the passage, then returned to the cave, and continued waiting.

Time passed little by little.

The sound of insects outside the camp was getting closer.

Meanwhile, on the ground in the inner courtyard, the dark red countdown had entered the final ten minutes.

Yu Hong carried all the radiation grenades, walked out of the cave and passage, and came to the open space in the inner courtyard to wait for alert.

Five minutes passed.

There was no movement.

Ten minutes passed.

There was still no movement outside the camp.

at last.

puff.

The last minute of the countdown disappeared in an instant.

The entire inner courtyard camp flashed slightly and became blurry, and then there was no other movement.

Yu Hong heaved a long sigh of relief.

Judging from the mark in his mind, the black wind protection formation buried underground has been successfully strengthened.

Because, out of nowhere, an introductory leaflet appeared on the ground in front of him.

Walking over and picking up the paper, he examined it carefully.

'Black Wind Protection Formation: Also known as the Wind and Fire Soul-Slaying Formation, it can launch a continuous double attack of wind and fire against any black disaster that enters.

The black wind erosion is 2000 standard radiation units per second, with slight resistance to prevent the enemy from entering.

The black fire erosion is 3000 units per second, with continuous burning damage. As time goes by, the black fire erosion damage will increase accordingly. The maximum upper limit is 10000 units per second, and it will be automatically lifted after leaving the formation.

When dormant, it can absorb surrounding red radiation and store it until needed. The storage time is 30 minutes. In addition, the array coverage is doubled.

Looking at the contents of the instruction manual, Yu Hong really breathed a sigh of relief this time.

'The combination of wind and fire erosion means a continuous damage of 5,000 per second, which is 10,000 in two seconds. Compared with the red value radiation of the speed man that can easily reach hundreds of thousands, it is indeed nothing, but the range of the formation is also doubled, covering the entire outer courtyard.'

Yu Hong walked to the outer courtyard and felt the coverage of the formation under his feet. Even he, the owner of the black seal, could feel a subtle tingling sensation when he stepped on the formation.

"If we can extend the time that the Black Disaster stays in the formation, the damage will get bigger and bigger. If it reaches the highest of 12000 per second, in seconds, combined with radiation grenades." Yu Hong originally felt that the formation was not bad after being strengthened, but after this calculation, he suddenly felt that it seemed that it was still not enough to rely on the formation alone.
The insect man is so fast that it only needs two seconds to rush through the formation. With such little damage, are we going to use it to polish its skin?

'It seems that strengthening a large-scale formation can only deal with low- and medium-level black disasters, and black disasters with high radiation values ​​can only be dealt with in other ways. The formation can be used to delay time.'

Yu Hong returned to the inspiration he had thought of before.

Design a new formation that can delay the movement speed of the entangled black disaster, so that it will be automatically affected as soon as it enters the range of the camp formation.

Yu Hong carefully considered the several symbols and runes he currently possessed.

"Pyroxene runes, vortex runes, hidden runes. What kind of things can slow down and hinder the Black Disaster?"

His thoughts returned to the expulsion fluid and extraction fluid proposed by Zhang Kaijun.

"No, I shouldn't think from this point!" Suddenly Yu Hong thought of something. Since the newly appeared formation itself has a certain ability to hinder the black disaster, why not continue to strengthen this part of the ability on this basis?
The function of black wind erosion may be extracted and strengthened separately!
Yu Hong's eyes lit up, and he immediately sensed the mark in his mind. Through the mark, he could see every detail of the new formation from above.

Soon, he noticed something was wrong.

'Wait. Why does this array pattern look a bit like the visualization diagram in my Thunder Leg Technique booklet? ? '

Suddenly he discovered that some of the patterns in the formation actually overlapped with the Thunder Leg Technique.
"Could it be possible that this formation also incorporates some of the secrets of the Thunder Kick Technique!?"

"From this point of view, I may be able to study ways to further strengthen it from a martial arts perspective."

Immediately, Yu Hong returned to the cave and reorganized the visualization diagram of the Thunder Leg power. Combining it with some special patterns in the new formation, he hand-painted the two separately based on his own feelings.

He actually felt that this drawing was somewhat interesting.

He discovered that as he drew the pattern, his internal energy would unconsciously flow into the pattern of the formation, and that the newly drawn pattern actually had a subtle effect of attracting airflow.

'The imitation visualization diagram was fine, there was no movement, but this pattern imitating the new formation, drawn with internal energy, actually had some effect! This is interesting.' This was the first time that Yu Hong discovered a pattern similar to the new symbol.

If the summary is successful, he may be able to master a new ability rune similar to the vortex rune and the pyroxene rune.

By then, the new formation will have a solution.
