Desperate Night.
Chapter 27 027 Incident 3
Chapter 27 027 Incident (Thanks to Tuoba Goudan, the leader)
"Picking up corpses. I'm lucky, and I have good skills." Yu Hong answered simply.
"By the way, let me ask you a question." He looked at the people around him. "Do you know where the lizard jerky we eat comes from? Can we raise it ourselves?"
"You should look for Lao Yu. The mushrooms, cockroaches and lizards we eat are all bought from him." Doctor Xu pointed to a bald old man standing on the periphery not far away.
The old man was wearing a brown short-sleeved shirt, was a little hunchbacked, had dull eyes, and occasionally lowered his head to cough, seeming to be a little out of breath.
"We usually call him Yu Hema because he has a big belly and likes to lower his head and breathe heavily, which makes him look like a toad. If you want to ask, go over and talk to him." Doctor Xu whispered. "And I advise you to hurry up, because several people have already asked him about this."
Yu Hong nodded and wanted to ask again.
Suddenly, there was a sound of a door opening from the stone house.
The heavy wooden door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man with a crew cut walked out. The camouflage uniform he wore had a big "Post" word printed on the chest in eye-catching and clear red handwriting.
"If you want to go together, come and register!" the man shouted.
The crowd immediately moved forward.
Yu Hong took a step back and waited for everyone to register.
There were a few others who acted like him, but most of them pushed forward.

In the cave safe house.
Two strong figures in camouflage uniforms and helmets and masks quickly emerged from the woods, approached, and walked towards the cave.
"That's it."
One of them walked to the stone steps at the entrance of the cave and looked up at the wooden door.
"Quite strong. It's up to you." He looked at the other person.
The other man removed the backpack, opened it, and pulled out several long, thin metal tools.
"I've opened too many locks, this is just a piece of cake." He smiled, "First, empty the things, and then wait for someone to come in."
"Okay, everything else is fine, mainly the pyroxene."
"In this trouble, only the pyroxene is of some use. The higher-ups are getting mad with anxiety. So this time."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and open the door first."
The two chatted while looking around vigilantly and crawled to the heavy wooden door.
The man holding the tool looked down at the keyhole.
"Such a neat door lock? I don't know how long it has been since it was opened." He sighed.
Since the outbreak of the Black Disaster, almost all petty thieves like him have joined the Allied Forces.
There is no other way. If you don’t join, there will be no pyroxene. Without pyroxene, you will die if you encounter the ghost shadow.
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up." Another person urged from behind.
"I know, I know. Don't rush me." The door opener took out a tool and carefully poked it into the keyhole.
With a clicking sound.
The person who opened the door listened carefully to the sound, felt the feedback from the tool, and explored the structure of the door lock.
A minute passed.
Two minutes have passed
Ten minutes have passed
The man who opened the door had more and more sweat on his forehead, and the tools in his hands were shaking more and more.
"That's not right! This door lock is different from all the locks on the market!" His voice trembled a little.
Captain Zhao invited him here just to open doors and locks. If he can't even do his job well, he will never be able to enjoy the privileges in the team again.
"Can you do it or not?" The other person had been waiting for a long time and was getting impatient.
"I..." The man who opened the door hesitated. This lock was different from all the ones he had opened before. It seemed that even the most basic principle of its structure was different.
If he doesn't tear one down and study it, he won't be able to open the door in the short term.
"This lock is different!" the man who opened the door said nervously. He took out the tools and wanted to try again.
"Forget it!" The person behind him grabbed him and said, "I just checked, there's no one inside. Let's just hide around for a while and wait for Yu Hong to come back, then rush over and catch him."
"Is it still open?"
"Bullshit! Let's go and find a place to hide!" said another person angrily.

In front of the stone post office.
All the registered people went back home to pack up their things and prepare to leave.
After Yu Hong chatted with Dr. Xu and Jenny for a while, he saw that the postman was free and took the initiative to approach him.
He came here to buy food, and if he could exchange it for something good from the postman, it would be worth it.
Especially the solar generator that Jenny mentioned last time. If I can get it, I can strengthen it myself.
Yu Hong felt excited. Once there was electricity, many things would become much more convenient.
The postman had a cold expression on his face as he looked at the list he had just written down. He had something in his mouth that looked like something black and a bit like chocolate.
Seeing Yu Hong coming forward, he looked up.
"Want to register? Name?"
"I'm not registering, I just want to buy something. Is there any food?" Yu Hong went straight to the point.
"Not registered?" The postman was a little surprised, but soon calmed down. There are many self-righteous people who don't want to move these days. These people are full of confidence before they see danger. He has seen a lot of them.
So after hearing that it was not a registration, he was stunned for a moment and then calmed down.
"There is food, but not much. Dried lizard, dried cockroach, dried mushrooms, what do you want?"
"Take a look at what I exchanged first." Yu Hong took out the prepared exchange items.
The water filter cup and the pyroxene were all placed together in a bag. "Did you make the water filter cup? And the pyroxene?" The postman looked interested at the bag.
The water filter cup is okay, but the workmanship is a little bit delicate. He also has the good ones distributed above, so he has no shortage of them.
But it’s different with pyroxene, especially with the recent appearance of evil spirits, it is said that only the newly discovered pyroxene can be effective.
He had heard of large pyroxene, but this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes. The runes there were much more complex than those of ordinary pyroxene.
"Where did you get this big pyroxene?" He couldn't help but reach out to grab a piece to have a look. But Yu Hong took a step back to avoid it.
"I made it myself." Yu Hong replied. "Can I change it?"
"Let me check it out," the postman replied, quickly pulling out a black box the size of an egg from his waist bag.
There is a small gray LCD screen in the middle of the box, and a round button under the screen. It's quite simple.
"This is a red value detector, a tool that can detect the quality of pyroxene. It can also detect the concentration of blood tide flowing in the surrounding environment." The postman explained.
"Can this be detected?" Yu Hong was surprised. Pyroxene can actually be detected by instruments? And blood tide.
He had never been clear about the official research results on the black disaster here, but now it seems that they are not bad.
"Silver Tower's research products are quite useful." The postman smiled and pressed the button.
There were two beeps and the LCD screen lit up red.
He brought the machine close to the pyroxene and stopped it just a few centimeters away.
Beep! !
Suddenly the instrument emitted a long beep, and rapidly changing numbers flashed on the screen.
Yu Hong could also get a glimpse of some of the values.
I saw the number suddenly changed from 0 to negative 78, then from -78, changed rapidly several times, and finally stabilized at -81.
"Wow, -81! Amazing!" The postman exclaimed, "Previously, the pyroxene was only around -20 at best. Your big pyroxene is of good quality!"
"Name your price." Yu Hong said directly without any further ado.
"Two kilograms of dried lizard for one yuan." The postman thought for a moment and replied, "I want all four of yours."
He has no shortage of food, but as for the pyroxene, it can save his life at a critical moment, so no one would think it is too much.
"I'm not going to exchange all of it for dried meat. I heard that you have a solar generator that's almost broken down?" Yu Hong asked in a low voice.
"That thing can still generate electricity, how can you talk like that? What do you mean it's almost scrapped?" The postman frowned and immediately retorted. "If you want that, exchange it for two large pyroxenes."
"Solar storage batteries are running out of steam, right? Two are too expensive. One." Yu Hong bargained.
The two began to haggle over the price.
After several minutes of discussion, the postman finally couldn't help but give in as time was limited.
The last two large pyroxenes were exchanged for a solar generator and a set of broken air purification boxes.
The rest of the pyroxene was replaced with jerky, plus a small atomic lamp.
Yu Hong got the small atomic lamp through hard bargaining.
This thing is made of radioactive elements and is a cold light lamp that can provide continuous lighting for more than ten years without using any energy.
Of course, its brightness will also fade over time.
But it is still very good as an auxiliary light source in the cave.
The transaction was completed quickly. Yu Hong was in a good mood. He packed all the things together. The solar generator was actually only the size of a medium handbag when folded. Together with the other things, it only weighed a dozen pounds.
Yu Hong weighed it and felt that after exercising for more than half a month, his body was much stronger than before, and the ten pounds did not feel heavy in his hand.
After exchanging the items, the postman hid the pyroxene and looked at Yu Hong.
"Brother, I advise you to retreat with us. The bunker can't hold us back this time. The evil shadow is not a tough guy."
"What do you mean, brother?" Yu Hong asked with a frown.
The postman seemed to be in a good mood as he had received so many pyroxenes at once. He chewed the chocolate bar in his mouth, looked around, and made sure that no one was around before he lowered his voice and spoke.
"Evil shadows are different from phantom shadows. Phantom shadows usually move around in a fixed area, mainly using disguises and sneak attacks. But evil shadows don't know where they are. No one knows how they move. They may be here one moment and there the next."
He paused.
"I heard the inside information, but it's not considered an inside story now, as everyone is leaving. Of course, you just listen to it, and don't spread it around."
"Thank you for your advice, brother! I will definitely not say anything nonsense." Yu Hong immediately nodded in a low voice, knowing what was going on.
"Let me tell you. This time, the evil shadow in this town killed an entire street of ordinary people and the Allied Forces. Not a single one was left! All dead! The number of deaths is too numerous to count! Too many." The postman's tone was grim, and he himself was trembling slightly.
"Didn't the joint forces in the town ask for help?!" Yu Hong's heart trembled and he asked quickly.
"The Silver Tower specializes in dealing with evil shadows, but the response they gave was to isolate them and give up," the postman sighed. "Brother, it is said that the Silver Tower's response is that each evil shadow is different and has different abilities, so the Silver Tower gave them different code names. The evil shadow in our town is codenamed the Withered Woman. Its specific abilities are unknown and are still under exploration and research. So we can't deal with it, we can only retreat."
"What about the survivors around us?" Yu Hong couldn't help but ask.
"Let them fend for themselves," the postman said in a low voice, "That's why I advise you to leave quickly. When there's no one in the town, the evil shadow will run out and will definitely look for a place with people around. We're a little close to the town."
Yu Hong was silent.
He was also thinking and weighing rapidly in his mind.
Soon, he asked another question out loud.
"Even if we retreat together, there won't be evil shadows in other places?"
