Desperate Night.

Chapter 185 Dark Night
Under the bright white light, inside the stone fortress.

The warm and clean air inside made Lin Yiyi and her group feel like they were in a dream.

Xue Ningning, An An, Ou Li, and Lin Yiyi, these are the remaining members of the team.

Compared with before departure, there are three fewer people, nearly half of them.

The four of them stood in the warm stone fortress, listening to the heavy rain still falling outside, and they fell into complete silence for a moment.

"By the way, Xiaojun...!" Xue Ningning suddenly said.

"I've checked." Yu Hong took off his suit, revealing a strong and well-proportioned body like a rock. "I killed an elephant beetle, but didn't find anyone else."

silence.

Xue Ningning's eyes became even redder. She stood by the gate, her back against the stone wall, her fists clenched.

Too cruel.

She wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

She thought she was used to casualties and separations, but when she encountered them again at this moment, she was still extremely depressed.

"In fact, when I went there, most of the elephant's legs were blown off." Yu Hong added. "Your teammates' sacrifice was not in vain."

He looked at the four people in front of him.

The two men were wearing suits, and both of them only had breathing valves on. They looked extremely disheveled, with damage to the suits and wounds on their bodies visible all over their bodies.

In addition, they all exuded a strong sour smell. It was obvious that they had not taken a bath for a long time. Now they were wet by the rain, and the smell was coming out.

Yu Hong ignored everyone else and only looked at Lin Yiyi.

"Yiyi, don't go out now that you're back. The environment outside is no longer suitable for going out casually."

"."Lin Yiyi didn't reply, just remained silent.

"Mr. Yu, you are so strong, can you teach us?" An An beside her said. "You can even defeat Black Disaster head-on. I have never seen an enhanced person as strong as you!"

There was anticipation in her eyes, as well as a hint of pain and fear that could not be concealed.

"So far, I haven't found a way to teach others to be like me. I am an exception," Yu Hong said calmly, but his eyes were only on Lin Yiyi.

"Forget it. Now that I'm back, I'll take a good rest and adjust myself. This place is different from other places. It's very safe."

"Thank you, Mr. Yu!" Xue Ningning calmed down and bowed her hands in a retro gesture. "No matter what, we will remember your life-saving grace this time!"

"Sorry, according to the camp rules, only Yiyi is considered an official member and can enjoy free food safety and repair medicines. The rest of you can only get them by trading other things. And the accommodation is not here. You can only go to the secondary safety area outside the outer courtyard." Yu Hong said calmly.

"." Xue Ningning's expression of gratitude froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered, "As I should."

"Well. You can go out." Yu Hong said lightly.

Xue Ningning was choked again. She glanced at the others and turned around and left helplessly.

An An and Ou Li also followed. Before leaving, they looked at Yi Yi, walked out of the wooden door, and closed the door with their hands.

Suddenly, Yu Hong and Yi Yi were the only ones left in the hall on the first floor of the stone fortress.

"Are you injured anywhere on your body?" Yu Hong asked.

"Okay," Lin Yiyi shook her head.

"Go take a shower and have a good sleep. It's safe here with me here." Yu Hong emphasized the word safety again in a lower voice.

"." Lin Yiyi took off the breathing valve, glanced at him, and nodded with a somewhat wooden expression.

She was soon led by Yu Hong to the bathroom in Shibao.

The hot water flushed down, and soon a faint suppressed crying sound came from inside.

Yu Hong exhaled, walked out of the stone fortress, and came to the fence of the outer courtyard.

Xue Ningning and the other two were already building their own sheds.

Seeing him approaching, Xue Ningning took the initiative to step forward.

"Our car broke down far away. We'll go get our things when the rain stops. Mr. Yu, can you give us a list of transactions? How do we exchange clean and safe drinking water and food? And medicine. You can see that we're in very bad condition right now. We also need some dry, warm blankets and the like."

She looked haggard, but she forced herself to communicate with Yu Hong.

"Draw out on the map the black disaster situations you encountered along the way, as well as the routes of the black disaster fissures you discovered. I can provide free clean hot water. For Yiyi's sake, you don't have to worry about safety nearby. I allow you to stay here." Yu Hong is no longer the same person he used to be.

The reason for the hot water is that the cooling water from the nuclear power plant is hot. He can turn it hot or cold with just a word. It's not a big deal.

"Thank you, Mr. Yu." Xue Ningning nodded and thanked him solemnly.

No matter what, even if the other party rescued them for Yiyi, they were saved after all. This kindness must be acknowledged.

These rules are now as they should be.

After arranging all this, Yu Hong pulled over a long water pipe, connected it to the hot water and left it alone.

He returned to the cave, brought some nutrition and medicine to Yiyi, told her how to use them, and then returned to the cave to rest. As for Xue Ningning, the three of them entered the tent, and Ou Li couldn't help squatting and crying.

"I thought I was dead. Why do I have to live like this? Why?" She was a little emotionally broken and trembling. The fall and the pursuit by the black disaster just now made her feel scared when she thought about it at this moment.

"Xiaojun is dead, Xiaoji is dead, and so is Asheng." Xue Ningning whispered, "If it weren't for Mr. Yu Hong's intervention, we would all have died. This is the way the world is."

The three of them stopped talking, and for a moment, only Ou Li's suppressed crying could be heard.

After crying for a long time, An An spoke again.

"Mr. Yu Hong's power is so strong that he can even blow up Black Disaster. This is obviously far beyond the scope of enhanced humans. If we can stay in this camp, perhaps our safety will be greatly guaranteed."

"Do you want to stay?" Xue Ningning looked at her.

"No, I mean, Captain Xue, you and Ou Li, there is no need for you to follow me and Yi Yi in the investigation. We are here to investigate the whereabouts of our relatives, you don't need to." An An looked calm.

"Are you still planning to go?!" Xue Ningning was stunned.

"A long time ago, I no longer cared about life or death. Living in this world, in a world like this, there is really no point in a person staying alive." An An continued, "I believe my father will not die so easily, so I will find him! Yi Yi must feel the same way as me."

"What if you can't find it?"

"Then keep looking. The worst that can happen is that we die on the road." An An replied, "So we are different from you, Captain Xue."

Xue Ningning was silent. She vaguely heard a hint of self-destructive tendencies in An An's words.

"Find a way to stay and join the camp. Mr. Yu Hong's strength is incomprehensible. But in this environment, strength is the guarantee of safety." An An said softly.

She now recalled the exaggerated explosive power and destructive power when Yu Hong defeated the two black disasters. No matter how many times she recalled it, she was shocked.

Silent all night.

At dawn the next day, after a night's rest, Xue Ningning and the other three quickly put on their dried pyroxene cloaks and returned to the car in the rain.

Now that Black Disaster has been killed, the surroundings are generally safe, and they can deal with ordinary ghost shadows. In addition, as it is daybreak, the possibility of giant weevils appearing has greatly decreased, so this is the safest time of the day.

Even though the daylight hours are less than an hour now.
Yu Hong did not help, but sent a black lizard to follow Yi Yi and monitor her from a distance to ensure that she would not encounter any danger.

Soon, after daybreak, Xue Ningning and the others returned to the camp, expanded the tent, and brought a lot of pots, pans, etc. They skillfully set up a simple small camp.

Not long after it got dark again, Xue Ningning stood by the fence with a drawn map and a notebook for writing intelligence in her hands.

She didn't know how to contact Yu Hong.

This place is more than 60 meters away from the cave. Visibility is extremely low due to the diffuse fog, and it is impossible to see the situation on the other side of the cave at all.

“Just knock on the fence next time. I can hear you.” Yu Hong’s shadow appeared in the yard.

He was still wearing the same enhanced suit, but the surface had been washed clean by the rain, and it reflected a faint bright luster under the light.

"Okay, this is what you want." Xue Ningning handed over the thing in her hand, and held up a big umbrella with her other hand to prevent the notebook from getting wet.

Yu Hong took the map and notebook and quickly opened them and looked through them.

"The map records many places we have explored along the way, as well as resource warehouses that have not yet been relocated. Among them are an instant noodle warehouse, a dry noodle warehouse, and a smoked meat warehouse, all of which are marked on it." Xue Ningning's voice spoke in front of him.

"Where's the intelligence?" Yu Hong asked without even raising his head.

"In the notebook. Also, we found something very wrong during our outing this time." Xue Ningning said in a deep voice.

"What do you mean?" Yu Hong looked up at her.

"It's like this. We were driving for a long time at night and discovered something." Xue Ningning said, looking downcast and haggard. "On the edge of a mountainous area, we encountered a special building complex that was completely different from modern society. It might be a village, or it might be a relic. We couldn't tell. But... the second time we passed by that place, it disappeared inexplicably! We couldn't find it no matter how hard we tried."

"Are you sure the whole place disappeared?" Yu Hong asked.

Although anything could appear in the Black Disaster, it was rare for the entire place to be abnormal. So far, he had only discovered Huanfeng City, the strange city covered by a huge amount of black mucus.

"Yes. We checked it repeatedly. Everyone in the car saw it. It was not an illusion." Xue Ningning nodded.

"I'll pay attention." Yu Hong said solemnly. "Anything else?"

"There is also some information about the black disaster." Xue Ningning briefly introduced the types and mentioned that they were all recorded in a notebook.

As a deal, Yu Hong gave them some anti-inflammatory drugs and turned back to the cave.

The heavy rain kept falling with no sign of stopping.

The group finally felt the safety and tranquility in the Black Wind Camp that they had not experienced for a long time.

There isn't even a ghost here. At most, you can climb a tree to avoid the blood tide.

Time passed slowly as the few people recovered from their injuries.

Yiyi was in the camp, and it was fine after resting for two days at first, but later she couldn't sit still and wanted to do something, but found that she couldn't do anything. The breeding box work was too complicated, and she couldn't do it, so she could only stand there.

Apart from her strength and special physique, she seemed to have nothing.

So, after staying there for five days, she decided to leave again and go to Black Tree Village.
