Desperate Night.

Chapter 272 Chapter 272 Vitality

Thinking of this, Yu Hong's determination became stronger and his consciousness moved again.

'Strengthen the camp, direction: merge the wooden bridge pier and the black ship, and obtain the same movement method as them.'

laugh!
This time, the black mark on the back of the hand broke out of the black line and sank into the ground in the blink of an eye.

A few full seconds later.

The synthetic mechanical sound of the black seal just sounded.

'Do you want to strengthen the camp? Because the Marked Black Ship is not a single entity, it contains a large number of active individuals, and it is severely damaged. The strengthening time may be too long, please check carefully.'

Along with the mechanical sound, a huge dark red countdown number was generated under Hong's feet.

'142 day 21 hours 9 minutes'.

"!!?"

Yu Hong never expected that it would take so long.
It’s almost five months now!!

This was the first time he had seen such a long time since he started using the Black Seal.

But according to the rules of the Black Seal, the longer the strengthening time, the more worthwhile the finished product will be.

Yu Hong calmed himself down and began to think about whether there was anything on his body that needed a black seal.

After making sure that there was no urgent need for the service, he looked at the exaggerated countdown on the ground and finally gritted his teeth.

'Yes! '

He responded affirmatively in his heart.

Soon, the surface of the black seal glowed, and the countdown on the ground became fixed.

call.
Yu Hong exhaled a long breath, and as soon as it came out, it was turned into tiny ice chips by the cold winter and fell off.

After confirming that the strengthening had begun, he felt relieved.

In addition to practicing Taiyuan Zhengfa every day, I observe the changes in the surrounding environment.

Soon, seven days later, after the temperature dropped to minus 100 degrees, communications were disconnected again.

This time it wasn't a signal problem, nor was there a problem with him. Instead, when he turned on the communicator, he couldn't find anywhere to contact.

Both Aurora City and Zhang Kaijun's place disappeared completely.

"Perhaps there is something wrong with the equipment." Yu Hong turned off the communicator and looked out the window at the scenery that was completely covered with ice and snow.

The blue light of the Ultimate Gate is always emitted faintly, illuminating the open space within a certain range around it.

Watching the increasingly harsh environment outside, Yu Hong fell silent, feeling the Taiyuan Zhengfa in his body advancing towards the second level.

"If this goes on, even I won't be able to find food from the outside world." He knew that water could be solved by using the Water Condensation Technique, but what about food? Without living things, when his stored food is eaten up, no matter how strong he is, he will face the dilemma of starvation.

He has not yet reached the stage where he can survive without eating anything.

Staying in the cave which was as warm as spring, he carefully thought about countermeasures.

The black disaster is offset by the light disaster, and the situation is not bad now. Everything is stable.

But there is no way to stop the cold disaster. The extremely cold outside is no longer an area where humans can move freely.

"Maybe Old Zhou really won't come back," Yu Hong suddenly sighed.

Lao Zhou went out to look for his family, and never came back.

"Perhaps, I should also collect more supplies while I still have time, and then strengthen my reserves and find another way out."

He thought of a function of the black ship, which was that it would randomly dock at places of vitality. This was a function that the ship of salvation itself had.

"Once the reinforcement is completed, we can try to move the camp to a better location where there are enough materials to build an internal ecological cycle." He has begun to consider establishing a small regional ecosystem on his own, which should at least be able to ensure the food supply for himself or a few people.

"But the prerequisite is that the Ultimate Gate can maintain its current state and maintain a balance with the Black Disaster."

After finalizing his idea, Yu Hong returned to the cave after lunch in the afternoon and continued to practice his skills.

Night falls when it is dark.

A slight feeling of discomfort suddenly emerged from the black ship mark in my mind.

Yu Hong, who was sitting cross-legged practicing martial arts in the basement, suddenly frowned and opened his eyes.

Carefully feeling the mark of the black ship, he suddenly saw a blurry picture in front of his eyes.

The turbulent black river was constantly hitting and shaking the huge black ship, causing it to tilt violently.

From a distance, it looked like it might be knocked over at any time.

The black ship began to generate an increasingly stronger pulling force, which was the driving force generated by the scouring and collision of the black river, which seemed to be pulling the black ship downstream.

"No wonder the black ships would go to a different place every once in a while. Now it seems that it was caused by the periodic rapids of the Black River."

Yu Hong suddenly understood.

Even though I understand it, the question is whether or not to go is still a problem.

But he no longer hesitated about this issue after he noticed that the mark of the black ship began to slowly weaken, become blurred, and then shattered.

Because the rapids had begun to affect the black ships and destroy them.

Immediately, he stood up, called the three-headed dragon lizard, and sorted out Agris of the Tianhe River in the secret method of Wuji Tianhe.

The Imperial Spearman died once, and was repaired in the Sky River a long time ago. Now he is giving it to Yiyi for protection.

Agris is also in good condition, but he is too big to be released casually.

Yu Hong thought about it and tried to put the three-headed dragon lizard into the Tianhe River, but failed.

He had no choice but to take the dragon lizard onto the black ship at the rear.

One dragon lizard carried supplies and water, one dragon lizard carried spare clothes, and the other was responsible for keeping an eye on the surroundings, keeping alert, and helping Yu Hong to supplement his safety precautions.

Standing on the black boat, Yu Hong held the side of the boat and looked at the turbulent black river below.

My mind gently released the pull and control on the black ship.

Click
After a slight noise, the boat began to drift downstream into the black river.

Under the extreme cold, the black ship seemed to have been affected to a certain extent, and the hull became more fragile and had no toughness.

The originally extremely hard hull was hit by the black water and debris fell off from time to time.

Standing by the side of the ship, Yu Hong simply waited quietly.

"Come to think of it, this is the first time I've been out on a ship since I merged with the Black Ship and made it my own signature possession."

His eyes kept wandering in the black fog and black rivers on both sides.

Soon, about half an hour later, the black fog slowly dissipated in front of the black ship, and an oval gray island emerged.

There are obvious signs of human intervention around the island, with rusty dock piles painted white on the gray-black stone beach.

Piles were driven along the rocky beach into the shallow water, connected to each other by long silver metal chains.

Next to the rocky beach at the pier, there is a dilapidated and abandoned white-painted wooden house on the water.

The house is in the shape of a cube, no more than five or six meters long and wide. There are words written in red paint on the outer wall, which seem to be warning signs.

Yu Hong touched the translator on his ear and quickly recorded and stored the handwriting, waiting to analyze and translate it when he had enough data.

Soon, the black ship sailed into the shallow water in front of the pile, slowly stopped and remained motionless.

Yu Hong thought about it, then picked up the anchor from the deck and threw it into the water to stabilize the boat.

Then he came to the side of the ship and jumped down one by one with the three dragon lizards.

puff.

He used the Thunder Kick Technique and leaped out, his huge weight leaving only two shallow pits when he landed.

'This place.' Yu Hong glanced at the detector on his collar and his eyes suddenly fixed.

Although he no longer wears a suit, he still takes off the detector and pins it to the collar of his shirt so that he can check it at any time.

The temperature at this time is: -4 degrees.

"What's going on?" Yu Hong thought he had seen it wrong, so he wiped the LCD screen carefully and looked at it again.

It was indeed minus four degrees!
'The cold disaster broke out, even other Aurora cities far away were at minus 100 degrees, the sea froze flat, everything withered, and everything was desolate. Perhaps some places could raise the temperature to minus 90 degrees or even higher and warmer because of their special topography. But'

Yu Hong glanced around.

The island was not big, and only then did he realize that there was not even any black fog when he got on the island.

The cold wind blows at night, bringing with it the smell of the sea.

Wait, the smell of the sea!?!

Yu Hong seemed to realize something, and he turned back suddenly as he stood on the gray-black stone beach.

In an instant, his pupils shrank slightly, as if he saw something unbelievable.

At this moment, the black ship behind him was not parked in the black river, but in a vast blue-black ocean.

Beyond the black ship, there was no dark fog above the sea, only the faint flickering yellow lights of ships in the distance at night.

The ship lights moved slowly. Just as they moved away a little, new ship lights appeared in other directions.

Yu Hong rubbed his eyes and looked carefully again.

The smell of the sea in the wind, the sound of the water washing over the gray-black stone beach, and the occasional white seabird flying by, all showed that he was not hallucinating.

hum.

Suddenly, in the black sky, a large passenger plane slowly passed by, with flashing yellow navigation lights, and flew towards the distant horizon.

Yu Hong looked up and saw this familiar scene, and suddenly he felt a blockage in his heart.

An indescribable feeling surged in his heart.

It's been a long time since he saw such a passenger plane.
He watched the plane fly away into the distance, until it completely disappeared into the night sky, and then he reluctantly looked away.

Turn your attention back to the small island.

Yu Hongcai discovered that something seemed wrong with this place.

The island pier is connected to two rows of simple white-painted houses.

The paint on the house has fallen off, revealing the gray-black wood underneath, and it looks quite old.

Some store signs even have black-haired beauties wearing hot miniskirts.

Yu Hong glanced around and didn't see any living people.

He thought for a moment, waved his hand to let the three-headed dragon lizard return to the boat, and took off his bulletproof suit. He looked at the model's outfit on the billboard, and made sure that he was fine before changing into an ordinary white long-sleeved T-shirt, black jeans, and stretching his limbs.

Step by step, he walked onto the island like an ordinary person, along the gray-white road connected to the pier.

Between the abandoned houses on both sides, he slowed down step by step, allowing the translator to collect as many words and characters as possible, as well as the corresponding application scenarios.

After about ten minutes.

The translator made a slight beep.

"Unknown characters have been included. We will use similar language systems for comparison and reference. The translation process will be accelerated. Please name it."

"The second night text." Yu Hong said casually.

"Confirmed as the second night text, do you want to start instant voice translation?"

"start."

All of a sudden, the shop signs were translated by voice.

In Yu Hong's eyes, all the signs and signboards looked different.

There are grilled squid, glutinous rice ball shops, freshly grilled seafood, dried seafood, travel consulting, and many other store brands.

At the end of the road with houses on both sides, the largest billboard appeared in front of us.

'Welcome to vacation and travel, this is Huangsong Island First-Class Scenic Area.'

In addition to the text on the sign, there is also a collage of pictures of many people playing various sea activities.

Swimming, sea fishing, surfing, sailing and more.

Yu Hong looked away and looked under the sign.

From here, the road splits into two directions.

To the left is a whitestone path leading to a slope deeper into the island.

To the right is the path to another beach.

"This way, this way!"

“Why is there so few people here?”

"Isn't this a first-class scenic spot? You can't even buy a snack bar in this place. There's only one idiot living here. The experience is too bad. Next time, I'll choose the place."

"Now that we're here, why not take a look around first? Don't you think this place is exciting?"

The sound of a young man and a woman talking drifted faintly from the distance.
