Desperate Night.

Chapter 22 Exchange 22 (Thanks to Ai Ai and his lovely leader Si Si)

Both of them were wearing goggles and black masks, and were dressed the same as Little Stutter had just been.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the cave, and the slightly taller man stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Yu Hong from Baiqiu Village?"

"It's me. Is there anything wrong?" Yu Hong answered while hiding beside the door.

Instead of hiding behind the door, he avoided it and leaned against the stone wall.

"I heard that you have better pyroxene to sell?" The man did not introduce his identity, but just asked the question.

"What better pyroxene? I don't know what you are talking about, and who are you?" Yu Hong asked in a deep voice.

"Don't hide it. We have all seen the two pieces in Lin Yiyi's hand. They are very powerful. If you have this ability, you shouldn't stay here. You should go to the town with us. There are more pyroxenes there. You can fully utilize your skills and save more people." The tall man persuaded in a deep voice.

"Also, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Zhao Zhenghong, and his name is Xu Yang. We are both from the town's joint army."

"United Forces" Yu Hong's heart moved, "Sorry, I don't want to go to the town. I feel safe staying here alone. However, I can sell the enhanced pyroxene, but I can't do it now. I don't have enough for myself now, and I don't have time to do it."

He did think about using enhanced pyroxene to exchange for supplies, but it was not possible to mass-produce it for the time being. One piece would take three days, which was a huge waste of the black seal for him.

"Now is the boom period, and there are many places that need pyroxene. If you go to the town with us now, with the protection of most people, you will definitely be able to concentrate on making new pyroxene. It will be more comfortable than hiding here alone and worrying about everything by yourself." Zhao Zhenghong continued to persuade.

"No, I'm used to living alone, and I'm not used to it in town. Thank you for your kindness." Yu Hong refused again. "If you want to buy, you have to wait until the high price period is over."

Upon hearing this, the other person behind Zhao Zhenghong quietly reached out and touched the pistol on his thigh.

But Zhao Zhenghong stopped this action.

"Mr. Yu Hong, according to the wartime emergency regulations established when the United Army was first established two years ago after the Black Disaster, Article 28, Paragraph 3: When technology and talents that can greatly optimize military strength are discovered, they can be forcibly recruited and compensated according to need afterwards."

He paused.

"In fact, we can forcibly recruit you regardless of your wishes, but since we are all locals of Baishi Town, I will give you a chance. You don't have to go. But you have to contribute the method and technology of making pyroxene, right?"

"We are in a difficult situation right now. Every extra piece of pyroxene may save one life. Besides, after you share your technology, it doesn't mean you can't do it yourself. It won't affect your seclusion here at all. You can also contribute to everyone and save a lot of trouble, right?"

What Zhao Zhenghong said was well-reasoned. If it were someone else, he might really be convinced.

But it's a pity
Yu Hong strengthened pyroxene not by relying on his own technology, but by the black seal.

However, the power of the Black Seal cannot be seen in public.

"Sorry, I only accept the exchange. As for the technology, you can't master it." Yu Hong answered calmly.

With the reinforced wooden door there, he didn't think the other party could get in, so his tone of refusal was quite decisive.

Zhao Zhenghong's eyes flashed outside the door, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled.

"Okay, in that case, let's visit again next time, and Mr. Yu Hong can reconsider. After all, it's better to live a good life in the bunker, have no worries about food and drink, and have a girl to live with."

He patted his companion, and the two of them turned around, walked down the stone steps at the entrance of the cave, and walked away into the distance.

Soon, the two disappeared into the forest without a trace.

But at an angle that could not be seen through the cave window, a figure also wearing camouflage clothes was quietly sticking to the rock wall and hiding on the right side of the door.

This figure was dressed exactly like Zhao Zhenghong. He held a dagger in one hand, his back pressed against the rock wall, standing upright like a gecko, motionless.

From this position, as soon as the cave door opens, we can rush in and control the people inside.

At this time, Yu Hong quietly moved his eyes away from the crack of the cave window and exhaled. He looked for a while, and when he was sure that there was no one, he relaxed a little.

"The person I want to exchange with is not like this."

Strengthening pyroxene would inevitably attract bad guests, but for the safety of the little stutterer, he still did not hide his stinginess.

In addition, since the reputation of enhanced pyroxene will spread, there will definitely be people who will come to him to exchange.

After all, the previous pyroxene was too heavy and inconvenient to carry, just like when the little stutterer was dispelling the ghost shadow, he threw the pyroxene out handful by handful.

After coming to his senses, Yu Hong did not go out again, but waited quietly in the cave.

Now that he had food and water, and the water would last him at least another day, he was in no hurry to go out.

It would be troublesome if those two people came back with a surprise attack.

Leaning against the fireplace, feeling the warmth on its surface, Yu Hong felt for the first time that perhaps living in the safe house in peace and stability would be a good thing.
Goo.
Suddenly, my stomach started to rumble.

Yu Hong's expression changed, and his good mood just now disappeared without a trace.

He quickly rushed to the corner, dug out a small bucket, took off his pants and aimed it.

Wow.

As soon as it was aimed, bursts of splashing sounds suddenly gushed out.

Yu Hong's expression changed completely.

He has diarrhea!!
The cramps in his stomach told him that this diarrhea was not simply caused by a cold, but was most likely an intestinal infection!

Soon after wiping his butt with leaves, Yu Hong stood up and not long after, he felt his stomach churning again.

He opened the wooden lid of the shit bucket again and let out his anger again.

'Trouble! '

After Yu Hong stood up, he quickly rummaged through the sundries he had moved in and soon found a small black box.

When the box was opened, there were two dark blue capsules inside, their purpose was unknown.

But Yu Hong remembered that this medicine seemed to be a cold medicine given by Doctor Xu, not an anti-inflammatory medicine.

He had taken all the anti-inflammatory drugs before. Later, when they were not enough, the little stutterer even used a lot of good things to exchange with Dr. Xu, but it was still not enough. Dr. Xu, out of favor, exchanged them at a loss. Finally, after taking the medicine, his health gradually improved.

"No, we must find a way!" Yu Hong closed the bucket, but the stench in the cave had already spread.

He had to open the viewing window to allow air to exchange between inside and outside.

"I need medicine, either intestinal anti-inflammatory medicine or anti-diarrhea medicine!" Yu Hong was anxious. He suspected that it was because he drank the unburned rainwater that caused his diarrhea.

But the strange thing is that the water I drank before was all filtered through the dirty filter pot of Xiao Jieba, but I didn't get sick.
It doesn't look odorous, but it gives me stomach upset after drinking it.

Yu Hong held his stomach and glanced at the newspaper of the comprehensive physical training method that was still counting down. Only two hours had passed. It was still early to finish.

He glanced at the sky outside, gritted his teeth, grabbed two boards and stuffed them into his vest and chest, then picked up the steel nail pyroxene stick and walked to the door.

He had to go to the homes of other villagers in Baiqiu Village and ask if there was any medicine in the post office there.

Otherwise, by tomorrow, I will have too much diarrhea and will be exhausted and have no strength, and my condition will be even worse.

Also, we must find a way to replenish the medicine. Maybe we can try to use the black seal to strengthen it when we come back.

Grasping the door handle, Yu Hong twisted it hard.

Click.

The door lock turned and made a sound.

But Yu Hong stood there without moving, waiting quietly.

He even breathed lightly and listened to everything that was happening outside.

call!
He pushed the door open suddenly.

Then it slammed shut like lightning.

There was a crisp sound, and at the moment the door closed, a figure flashed past the door, fell heavily down the stone steps and landed on the grass.

"grass!"

The man stood up cursing and shouted a few words in an unknown dialect.

Finding that there was no movement in the cave, the man looked at the sky, snorted coldly, turned around and left quickly.

Behind the door.

Yu Hong took a breath and a cold sweat broke out on his face, but his expression relaxed and he still stood behind the door without moving.

He waited like this for another ten minutes, and repeated the previous test several times. Only after making sure that there was no movement outside, did he slowly open the door.

It was bright outside; it was noon, the sun's best time.

"It's at least five hours before dusk. The post office is about a mile away. It's no problem to go back and forth. I can also ask other villagers nearby if they have anything to exchange. If the post office doesn't have the medicine, maybe other people can find it."

As for what to exchange for, Yu Hong brought his own cup for filtering water. The filter cup is reinforced, the workmanship is good, and the filtering effect is much stronger than ordinary devices. It should be very popular.

This thing was made entirely by him. The wooden cup doesn’t even have a handle. It is very simple to make. All you have to do is dig a round hole in a piece of wood.

As for the filtering material, a piece of cloth and a piece of charcoal are extremely low cost and the strengthening time is not long.

You can treat it as your own specific product and trade it with others.

He carried a filter cup, a stick, some dried meat, and a leather bag for water.

Yu Hong went out and ran towards the post office according to the direction given by Xiao Jieba.

Because I went there so many times, a path had already been worn out on the ground.

The grass on the road has also been cleared and is shorter than in other places.

In addition, the little stammerer was afraid of getting lost, so he deliberately carved marks on the trees.

Yu Hong jogged all the way and didn't go astray.

About half an hour later.

He finally arrived at the so-called post office in Baiqiu Village - a square white stone house.

There was a fence outside the house, and on the wooden door of the fence, there was a sign that read: Ring the bell before visiting.

Yu Hong glanced at the stone house, walked to the sign, and found that the bell had fallen to the ground.

He picked it up. It was a copper bell the size of an egg. He shook it gently.

Ding dong!

The bell rings.

He kept shaking it, and the bell kept ringing, the sound echoing in the woods and spreading outward in circles.

But there were no birds or insects, only the rustling of the wind shaking the leaves and branches, as if in response.

It shook for several minutes.

There was no movement in the stone house, as if no one was there.

"Don't shake it, the postman went to the town bunker, there's no one here."

A cautious middle-aged female voice floated from the side and behind.

Yu Hong looked in the direction of the sound and saw a short, blonde woman in a dark green men's jacket, hunched over and standing up from a clump of grass.
