Desperate Night.

Chapter 175 Road 175
In the mountains and forests.

The mist was thick, like a veil, covering the large, bare trees.

puff.

Outside the camp, a stream of black phlegm shot out and accurately hit a white rock on the ground.

hiss.

The black phlegm slowly reacted with the rock, emitting white smoke, and soon a small hole was corroded.

The small hole became deeper and deeper until all the black phlegm was consumed.

With the sound of footsteps, Yu Hong, dressed in a suit, walked over and squatted to check.

He extended his index finger and inserted it into the small hole, probably reaching the bottom at the second knuckle.

'The test is over. The saliva of this black lizard is highly corrosive to everything.'

Yu Hong stood up and turned to look at the black lizard lying there obediently.

An adult black lizard is about the size of an ordinary cat. It is completely black and if you don't open your eyes you might think it is a dead tree.

Looking at the black lizard, Yu Hong thought in his mind which aspect should be strengthened.

'First of all, speed is a must, otherwise the lack of reconnaissance capabilities will be meaningless.'

"Then there's the assassin-type scout, who has a fast killing speed and high lethality. He's the right sentinel for me. But his physical defense is too weak, so he's useless if he's knocked down by a gun."

After thinking about it, Yu Hong squatted down and rubbed the black lizard's forehead.

"Speed, lethality, and defensive physique, isn't this an all-round enhancement?"

He was a little helpless, and after changing his mind, he quickly turned around and walked towards the camp, asking the black lizard to follow him.

After a while, he used graphite powder in the camp to draw a hidden symbol on the black lizard.

Then he thought about it and dragged out some unwanted metal tools and weapons from the cave.

All of these were piled together with the black lizard.

Then, Yu Hong looked at the sky outside. It was pitch black.

He stretched out his hand and gently pressed on the black lizard, while his consciousness simultaneously included the pile of metal and weapons.

'Strengthen the black lizard, direction: speed, lethality, defensive physique.'

His mind naturally imagined the ideal black lizard he wanted.

It should be a sentinel monster with fast speed, strong concealment, strong physique and amazing defense. It has enough killing power to drag most things and carry the spoils back conveniently.

Soon, a black line flashed on the back of the hand and sank into the black lizard.

'Do you want to strengthen the mark: Black Lizard?'

Came the question from Black Seal.

At the same time, a countdown also appeared on the black lizard.

'3th, 09:14.'

"Yes!" Yu Hong replied affirmatively.

Suddenly the countdown flashed and began to count down quickly.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

'After this reinforcement, strengthen the entire camp again, strengthen the stone fort, and try to establish a closed and perfect self-circulating mechanism.'

There are all kinds of dangers in the outside world. Try not to get in touch with them, which is the best way to be safe.

'It's been three days. There are fewer people in the camp now. It's less attractive to the Black Disaster and may be safer than before.'

He released the black lizard and controlled it to hide in the camp. Although he didn't know what would happen if the thing being strengthened was suddenly damaged or died, it was best not to try this.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Yu Hong was constantly monitoring the changes in the insect people outside. During the past three days, the insect people seemed to have lost interest in the camp. They didn't even come near this place on weekdays, and almost no human figures were seen.

The mountains and forests surrounding the camp seemed to have completely entered the state before the black disaster. There was peace, silence, and nothing.

There was not even a ghost shadow, all were suppressed and driven away by the insect people.

During these three days, Yu Hong once again condensed a new internal energy and reached the seventh root of the third level.

Although the improvement of Thunder Kicks cannot allow him to fight against the Zerg head-on, it still gives him a lot of security because he can run fast.

At noon, the sky gradually darkened, and small raindrops began to fall, hitting the mountains and forests, hitting the dead leaves, and falling on the mud, making a slight sound.

Yu Hong walked out of the cave and came to the edge of the outer courtyard formation. Wearing the enhanced gray lizard suit, he was not worried about the rain. He was just a little nervous as he sensed the black lizard outside the fence that was about to be strengthened.

There were still six minutes left in the countdown. He simply leaned against the fence and quietly concentrated on practicing Qi.

hum.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of a motor on the driveway leading to the highway from the outer courtyard, and in addition to the motor, there was also the squeezing sound of tires rolling over the wet ground.

Yu Hong suddenly opened his eyes and looked in that direction.

In the sight of the black lizard who was scouting outside, a familiar car was slowly approaching the camp.

"What is that?!" He stood up involuntarily and looked carefully at the direction where the sound came from.

Not long after.

A black car covered with gray and black rune symbols slowly stopped at the fence outside the camp.

Click.

The car door opened and a familiar figure jumped out.

"Boss, I haven't seen you for a few days. Did you miss me?" Zhou Xueguan knocked on the car door with a smile on his face.

"Didn't you leave? Why are you back?" Yu Hong's face remained expressionless.

"They are going to accompany Dr. Xu in giving birth. It is enough for Lao Li to go. What am I going to do over there?" Zhou Xueguan replied with a smile.

He looked back at the foggy mountain forest where it was raining.

"By the way, boss, what are you doing standing here? Did you know I would be back?"

"I have nothing to do, so I observe the black disaster and collect detailed intelligence." Yu Hong replied casually.

Lao Zhou's return surprised him a little, but also gave him some comfort. It also added a touch of humanity to the deserted camp.

"Go back and have a rest first. I need to observe for a while." Yu Hong said calmly.

"I understand!" Lao Zhou nodded, opened the fence, drove in, then closed the door and returned to the stone fort.

Yu Hong still stood there, listening to the faint sounds coming from the stone fort behind him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. He was interrupted by Lao Zhou, and he didn't notice that the black lizard's enhancement had ended.

At this moment, he came back to his senses and sensed the mark of the black lizard in his mind again.

After a few breaths, he took a step forward, flipped over the fence, and walked into the mist.

A few meters later, he stopped in front of a dead tree and looked at a brand new black lizard slowly crawling out from behind the trunk.

Puff puff.

The black lizard, half a person's height, looks like the world's largest Komodo dragon, but much larger in size.

Its eyes were like cloudy black glass beads, its body was bloated and thick, nearly two meters long, and covered with black scales as hard as old tree bark.

Yu Hong stepped closer and tapped the black lizard on the forehead.

The sound is dull, like knocking on wood.

"Come on, spit," Yu Hong said to himself, pointing to a tree trunk nearby.

puff.

The black lizard spat out a mouthful of black phlegm on the spot. This time the volume of the black phlegm was at least three times larger than before. It directly covered the waist of the tree trunk that was as thick as an adult's waist.

With a hissing sound, a large gap was soon corroded in the trunk, and the tree began to shake, threatening to fall and break at any time.

"Not bad." Yu Hong nodded slightly, and then he had an idea.

Commanding the new black lizard to a large moss-covered boulder.

Bang.

The black lizard took a few steps and ran headfirst into it.

The boulder, which weighed at least a hundred pounds and was as big as a small millstone, was immediately knocked to pieces and rolled away, turning several times before stopping.

"My strength has also increased a lot." Yu Hong nodded, pulled out the dagger from his waist, walked forward, and started to scratch the black lizard's scales.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk.

He used only an ordinary person's strength with the tip of the knife, but it could only leave white marks on the black lizard's back without hurting it.

'It has been synthesized with some metal elements, and its defense is pretty good. All in all, it can be considered a strong sentinel. In addition to dealing with low-level black disasters, it can also deal with some hostile entities.'

"Finally, it's speed." He put away his knife, controlled the black lizard in his mind, and sprinted along the driveway towards the road at full speed.

'three.'

'two. ’

'One! Run!'

He also looked at the time on the detector and started counting.

The black lizard flew out silently and disappeared into the gray fog in an instant.

About half a minute later.

laugh!
The black lizard's vision stabilized and stopped instantly.

Yu Hong saw through the mark that it had reached the road surface.

"36 seconds." He estimated that the distance from the camp to the road was about kilometers, and it would only take the black lizard half a minute to rush over. This speed was indeed much faster than before.

'This way, I can also include the highway in my patrol range and test the limit radius.'

Yu Hong controlled the black lizard to continue rushing away, across the road and through the slope.

Not long after, the black lizard crossed the two-kilometer limit, but this time, it did not lose contact, but remained in touch.

This cheered up Yu Hong.

He continued to control the black lizard to run farther away. Soon, when it reached three kilometers, the black lizard's vision suddenly went black.

'Lost contact.'

Yu Hong exhaled.

'Three kilometers, the control limit has been raised. It seems that the improvement of the mark still depends on continuous strengthening. The stronger the mark, the stronger the comprehensive data will be.'

Soon, the black lizard automatically returned to within three kilometers, and the focus returned to Yu Hong.

He began to control the black lizard to return, while letting the rest of the black lizards patrol around the camp automatically.

Now that the formation has been strengthened and the black lizard has also been strengthened, he decided to find a way to completely solve the problem of the insect people and prevent them from staying near the camp and treating the camp as their own territory.

Gray city.

The huge and sturdy gray city stands among the endless loess hills.

In front of the city gate, giant metal gates more than ten centimeters thick slowly rose up one after another, opening a gap for entry and exit.

Outside the door, survivors from all over the country who had been waiting in line, in tattered clothes and with pale faces, rushed forward and tried to rush into the city.

"Everyone line up and accept the city entry inspection one by one. After entering the city, please read the notice on the right as soon as possible. You must strictly follow all the procedures in the notice. Those who violate the notice will be expelled from the city."

Inside the city gate, there were teams of black armed men maintaining order. They were wearing full body bulletproof suits, holding guns, and wearing brown goggles, with even their faces completely covered.

None of them spoke, and the voices came from the speakers that had been recorded long ago.

The loudspeakers were hung on both sides of the city gate, repeating the same sound continuously.

Among the armed personnel in charge of the inspection, some are responsible for checking the information cards filled out by those entering.

Suddenly the examiner pressed on a card he had just seen.

"Former postman? Baiqiu Village? Black Wind Camp?" He hesitated and looked up at three people who were undergoing the third round of inspection and search not far away.

Li Runshan raised his hands, as if he heard the voice, and immediately gave this side a sincere smile.

Aisina was behind him, and Dr. Xu, with a big belly, entered the tent alone at the end to examine.

"Catch these two men, drag them out and shoot them." The inspector let go of the card and waved his hand casually.

Suddenly, three people from the black team behind him walked out and walked towards Li Runshan.

"Wait! We didn't do anything! What are you going to do? Why are you killing us? " Li Runshan's face changed instantly.

This is illogical and unreasonable!!

Normal logic should be that once people hear that he is a former postman, they will immediately give him special treatment. After all, postmen are elite and skilled, and they are talents no matter where they are placed.

But this Gray City!!
Before he could struggle, two iron arms instantly clamped his hands, and the huge force suppressed him, making him unable to move.

Among the three people who came out, two of them were enhanced humans! ?
