Desperate Night.

Chapter 24 024 Exchange Four (Xie Chun, the leader of the Nine Lotus Treasure Lantern)

“If you have something good like a water filter cup, he will definitely sell it.” Jenny laughed.

Filtering water has always been a big problem for her. She used the filter kettle sent by the bunker before, but it was only effective at filtering out coarse residue. The filter had to be replaced after a short time.

She had just quickly checked the water filter cup in her hand. The filter element inside was divided into five layers, so the effect should be good.

"Do you mind if I try?" She took out a leather water bag from her waist bag and compared it.

"Of course." Yu Hong stepped back a little and let him pour the water into the filter cup.

Soon, clear water flowed out, and Jenny's eyes lit up at the water quality. Cleaner water is in great demand, such as when washing wounds.

After the transaction was completed, the two men stepped back and separated quickly.

On the way back, Yu Hong found the soil that Jenny mentioned, dug a ball of it, and brought it back to the cave.

He planned to try strengthening it. If this soil really had an antidiarrheal effect, then the black seal should be able to strengthen it into an antidiarrheal drug with fewer side effects.

This is the trump card he really relies on!
By then, if the timing of the reinforcement is right, he will have another way to make money by exchanging materials.

the other side.

Jenny quickly ran through the woods and stopped in front of a meadow. She bent down, pushed aside the weeds, and picked out a pull ring from the ground.

Grab the pull tab and pull upward.

Suddenly, a wooden board disguised as grass stood up.

There is a simple tunnel under the wooden board.

She went in immediately, crawled more than ten meters along the dark tunnel, and soon reached the end of the tunnel.

At the end is a black and gray round door made of metal.

dong dong dong.

She knocked on the door, then without waiting for a response, she took out the key, inserted it into the keyhole, and turned the round door.

Behind the door was a small square room with an atomic lamp hanging on the wall. The light green dyed everything in one color.

This is the bunker where she lives alone. It has tables, chairs, cabinets, beds, tools, and everything else you need. There are also many tools and raw materials for leather making.

Jenny crawled out of the passage, closed the door with her backhand, stretched her body, walked to the cabinet, poured the filtered water from the cup into a small pot, and waited for it to boil.

Then she walked to the bookcase, sat down, took out the charcoal pencil and newspaper, and prepared to record her encounter with Yu Hong today.

"Mom, did you go out just now?" Suddenly a clear female voice came from another room at the back.

This bunker has a small hall and three rooms. One of the rooms is a leather-making workshop, one is a bedroom, and the other is a utility room.

The sound came from the bedroom at this time.

"Is that Eve? When did you come back?" Jenny's face lit up and she turned to look in the direction of the voice.

"I just came back not long ago." A girl with a golden ponytail walked out of the bedroom. The girl was wearing an emerald green sweatshirt and tight jeans. She had a delicate face and seemed to have put on light makeup.

She is Jenny's daughter Eve, and also the most beautiful girl in this gathering place of survivors.

"Is there anything to eat, Mom? I just looked around and there's nothing." Eve said dissatisfiedly.

"There are still some." Jenny stood up and quickly found a small bag of jerky from the corner. She opened the bag of jerky, grabbed half of it, and prepared to hand it to her daughter.

Unexpectedly, the whole bag was snatched away by Eve.

"There are so many more, thank you, Mom. I knew you were the best." She immediately went forward happily and kissed Jenny, then quickly went out through the exit.

Jenny's hand was suspended in the air, and even the jerky in her hand was snatched away.

She smiled bitterly but didn't stop him.

She didn't have time to say that these were most of her food reserves during the high season.
She took all of it, and the rest was only enough for her to make soup every day.
Exhaling, Jenny suddenly smiled again.

"She's in such a hurry to eat, it seems she's starving. No matter what, I'm glad I can help her."

She didn't wonder why her daughter, who was doing well, suddenly came back from town, nor did she wonder why the other party didn't consider her at all.

She only knew that since her husband's death, Eve was her only relative left in the world.

"She is still young in this regard, she will be more sensible in the future."

After comforting herself, she continued to deal with some of the new old clothes.

Taking old clothes apart and making them into new, fitted clothes is one of the businesses she earned through exchange.

Click.

The cave door was opened.

Yu Hong walked in quickly and felt a familiar stench coming towards him, which made him feel at ease.

Close the door and open the window for ventilation.

He picked up a protein bar, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, while putting the freshly dug soil on a piece of newspaper.

Finally, he pulled a log stool and sat down opposite the fireplace, quietly watching the countdown flashing on the newspaper that wrote the comprehensive physical training method.

There are still a little over five hours left in the countdown.

Yu Hong simply stopped running around and just sat quietly on the stool, waiting for the time to be over.

One hour
Two hours.
three hours.
It was beginning to get dark outside.

The wind in the mountains and forests also grew stronger, making a louder humming sound.

Yu Hong stood up, stretched his waist and legs, reached out and pulled up the baffle of the viewing window.

At the same time, replace the half-consumed enhanced pyroxene with the only complete enhanced pyroxene you have.

After doing all this, he picked up the cooled small pot, poured out the boiling water in it, and took a sip with the cup to prevent dehydration.

"It rained outside, and one day is not enough to dry the trees. There is not much dry firewood, so we can only make do with it tonight."

He calculated the amount of firewood that was left, then took out the candles and placed them where he could easily reach them.

Then he flopped down on the quilt, staring at the door, waiting for the night to come.

Not long after, about twenty minutes later.

The sky has completely darkened.

The familiar rustling sounds of crawling came again.

Yu Hong quickly stood up and lit the candle with the remaining charcoal in the fireplace.

Candlelight lit up, covering the entire cave.

He took this opportunity to light the fireplace. At night, the temperature outside had dropped to only a few degrees.

As the black bugs quickly swarmed in, the fireplace was slowly ignited by Yu Hong and began to burn.

Pieces of dry wood were added, and the burning flames illuminated the entire cave.

Time keeps passing in such boredom.

Yu Hong had diarrhea twice during the trip, both times he was completely dehydrated. This also made his face paler and his lips more bloodless.

at last.

Under his constant attention, the intensive comprehensive physical training method finally came to an end.

After a blur, the newspaper instantly turned into a thin black booklet.

The manual was about the length of a palm and about the width of an adult's palm. Its cover was neatly printed with the words: Advanced Physical Training Method.

Seeing this scene, Yu Hong's eyes lit up. He quickly put down the firewood in his hand, walked over and picked up the booklet.

In the firelight, he couldn't wait to quickly turn to the first page of the booklet.

Suddenly, a standard running movement diagram appeared in front of him.

The diagram shows a bald man with no clothes on.

But this man has no skin, so you can clearly see all his muscles, tendons and bones beneath his skin.

The places where force is applied are coloured in red, and the direction and intensity of the force are also marked.

Yu Hong glanced at the text above the picture: Basic Qigong Practice.

"Isn't this just running?" He carefully checked the details on the diagram and confirmed that this thing was an extremely detailed running instruction map.

But he clearly remembered that when he was strengthening himself, he was intentionally guiding it towards cultivating martial arts, internal strength, etc.

At that time, I thought that although the name is advanced physical training method, it doesn’t matter if the direction is slightly off.

Is this the result?

Yu Hong frowned, took a breath, and patiently continued to turn the pages.

The content of the second page made him relax a little.

The second page is a diagram of breathing exercises to accompany running.

The same bald man without skin has red and blue arrows inside his body to mark the rhythm, quantity, time and route of exhalation and inhalation.

At the same time, there are small words on the side explaining that you need to visualize a special pattern while running.

See page 3 for pattern.

Yu Hong turned to the third page.

It was exactly that visualization picture.

This is a strange pattern that looks like a pool of black mud mixed with silver sand.

At first glance, Yu Hong felt a little dizzy, as if his eyes were being sucked in.

He didn't dare to read it any further because there was small text written below: Do not read before the training period.

Turn the page again.

Finally, there were some herbal materials that needed to be taken together. Yu Hong looked carefully and unexpectedly discovered that these herbs were actually commonly seen in the surrounding woods.

There are also precautions and warnings.

'This exercise method is tailor-made based on personal physical condition, mental environment, etc. Do not use it if you are not yourself. If you try it, you will be responsible for the consequences.'

"So smart?" Yu Hong felt more and more that the black seal was magical and powerful.

After closing the last page, he suddenly realized that this so-called advanced physical training method only gave a picture of jogging?

The rustling black bugs were still swarming in frantically from the door.

The noisy sound also pulled Yu Hong back from his thoughts.

He quickly put the book down and hurried to the fireplace to add more wood.

While adding firewood, he also carefully recalled the exercise method he had just seen.

'It doesn't say that you have to run outdoors, but running in place indoors seems to work too, so I'll try it indoors first.'

Unfortunately, although it was a good idea, he only ran for two minutes before his legs went weak and he had no strength left.

Because I didn't eat anything and only drank water, I became dehydrated. My body had run out of replenishment and entered a state of fatigue.

Thinking of this, Yu Hong quickly came back to his senses and remembered that he had not taken the medicine yet and his diarrhea had not healed yet.

He immediately stuffed a piece of firewood in, walked to the pile of soil he had dug during the day, stretched out his hand and touched the soil.

"Strengthen the antidiarrheal medicine, the direction is: reduce the side effects." He thought to himself.

If this soil really has a natural antidiarrheal effect, then the black seal strengthening should be successful.

But if it is useless in itself, the black seal may become incomplete like before and cannot be strengthened.

This has become a way to verify the authenticity of its efficacy.

Yu Hong looked at the soil without blinking, waiting quietly.

hiss.

Soon, a black line appeared from the black mark on the back of the hand and penetrated into the soil.

Then, a familiar countdown appeared on the soil surface.

This time, on the originally black soil, the countdown is no longer black, but a striking red.

'1:51'.

real! !
Yu Hong's eyes lit up and a look of relief appeared on his face.

Although he felt that Jenny had no need to lie to him, he was relieved when he saw the result.

In this dangerous environment where medicines are scarce, if enough antidiarrheal drugs can be produced stably, it would be a great thing for him and others.

"Do you want to strengthen the antidiarrhea medicine?" The cold mechanical voice of the black seal slowly sounded.

Yu Hong licked his cracked lips.

'Yes! '
