Desperate Night.

Chapter 32 032 Strengthening (Xie Zexian Qitian Alliance Leader)
Yu Hong plans to take this opportunity to test this value.

Immediately, he pressed on the talisman formation and a thought arose in his mind.

'Strengthen the talisman array, direction: strengthen its effect to the upper limit.'

Suddenly, black lines flowed out from the black seal and merged into the talisman array, and a clear countdown emerged.

'2th, 13:09.'

so much!??
Yu Hong was startled, thinking back to the more than an hour he had just spent counting down.

Compare this to more than two days.

He immediately understood that this strengthening range could indeed be adjusted, but he needed to take the initiative to change it.

"Do you want to start strengthening?" The cold mechanical voice of the black seal sounded in my ears.

Yu Hong took a deep breath and decided to give it a try.

'Yes! '

He replied affirmatively in his heart.

laugh!
In an instant, just after he replied.

The talisman array on the door flashed a jade-like light.

Immediately afterwards, all of Yu Hong's physical and mental strength began to flow rapidly to the back of his right hand, to the mysterious and strange black mark.

His whole body tensed up, and he felt that the black mark was like a whirlpool, a bottomless black hole, madly devouring everything in his body.

Physical strength, mental strength, and even flesh and blood seemed to be completely absorbed by it.

As this horrific absorption occurred, he tried hard to struggle and try to stop it, but it was of no use.

All his strength was swallowed up by the black mark.

"Wait a minute! I can still recover!" Suddenly, Yu Hong reacted and hurriedly mobilized the two strands of cool air that he had trained in his lower abdomen.

This is a special trump card he developed through advanced physical training methods.

Controlled by the mind.

The first trace of cool air moved rapidly and began to circulate back and forth throughout the body, rotating and restoring the physical and mental strength that was almost exhausted.

But it was still not enough. Yu Hong felt that the physical and mental strength he had just recovered were being continuously devoured by the black mark.

Soon, the first strand of cool air was consumed, and he quickly mobilized the second strand. When the second strand of cool air was about to be consumed, the black seal seemed to have calculated Yu Hong's limit and stopped.

Everything returned to calm.

call!
call!
call! !

Yu Hong sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

He felt like he was almost swallowed up and absorbed, becoming a part of the black mark.

"Is this the upper limit of the Black Seal's enhancement?"

He finally understood that the black marks usually consumed a little of his physical and mental strength, so he didn't feel anything.

But this time it needs to be strengthened to the maximum limit, which causes it to start consuming the required energy in large quantities.

Yu Hong looked at the talisman array behind the door in shock.

The countdown there finally started moving, which meant that the strengthening had officially begun.

"Next, just wait and see what it will look like after it's strengthened."

Although it was very thrilling just now, Yu Hong calmed down and was even more looking forward to seeing to what extent this talisman formation could be strengthened.

After all, he was scared quite a bit just now.

The black mark could not be strengthened in two days, so Yu Hong just practiced the training method honestly every day.

That training method was basically running. The more he practiced, the more flexible his legs felt, and his muscles seemed to be getting stronger.

Early the next morning.

As soon as the sky was getting light, Yu Hong set up a small pot, threw in dried mushrooms, wild grass, protein bars, added water, and began to cook a thick soup.

There is a metal cover above the fireplace, so you can put the pot directly on it to heat it without worrying about smoke seeping out.

Yu Hong stood by the fire, holding a spoon in one hand and adding firewood with the other, stirring the pot constantly.

The protein bars were quickly melted and crushed, turning the entire pot of soup milky white.

A rich sweet fragrance slowly wafts out along with the aroma of mushrooms.

In the milky white soup, gray-white mushrooms and dark green wild vegetables occasionally pop out of the water with the stirring spoon.

But Yu Hong remained expressionless and stirred silently.

After waiting for a while, he put the lid on the pot.

This soup smells good, but it tastes terrible. And if you drink this soup every day for dozens of meals, even the most delicious food will make you want to vomit.

While the soup was simmering, Yu Hong sat down, leaned against the fireplace, and began to play with the pistol he had just acquired.

After gesturing with the pistol, he found that this gun seemed different from any he had seen on TV before.

The gun's safety is not on the back, but on the side. It also comes with a simple sight, which is a small circle lens with a red cross star.

A line of words is engraved on the side: Made in Aurora.

'There was only one bullet, which means that the production of gun bullets was probably restricted on a large scale. It could be that there was a problem with the production line, but it is more likely that there was an accident at the mine. After all, even iodine can be made, so bullets should not be as difficult to make as this slightly more complicated chemical product.'

Yu Hong put a gun with a holster on his waist. He had already loaded two bullets into the gun.

"I've never used a gun, and I don't know how the recoil works. The best way to use it is to scare people. Don't shoot if you can. If you have to, use it at close range to ensure your hit rate." After doing this, he began to dismantle the solar generator he bought from the postman.

He planned to strengthen this thing before using it, as for the direction of strengthening.
"It's best to improve durability. Once this kind of machine breaks down, I won't repair it, so it's scrapped. So the key is to extend its service life as much as possible."

Soon, the soup in the small pot began to boil and steam came out.

Yu Hong came to his senses and stood up to cover the fire to save firewood.

Then take the small pot down, take out the tree branches and chopsticks, and prepare to eat.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside.

His footsteps crushed the branches and leaves as he approached quickly until he arrived at the entrance of the cave.

Boom boom boom!
"Yu Hong! Are you there? Something happened! Something happened to Old Yu!!" It was Doctor Xu, and his voice was urgent.

Yu Hong quickly stood up and checked the large pyrotechnic stone behind the door to make sure there was no consumption. He immediately knew that the other party was a human.

"What did I exchange with you last time?" For safety reasons, he still had to compare the information.

"Potidol! It's potidol!"

Click.

Yu Hong opened the door and saw Dr. Xu, whose face was covered in sweat and whose expression was quite frightened.

She didn't even wear a coat, just a tight light gray sportswear, and she ran over in a hurry.

"What's going on?" Yu Hong asked in a deep voice.

"Something happened to Old Yu! The door of his residence was locked and there was no response no matter how we knocked. We suspect he was in trouble! I heard that you bought a set of stone chiseling tools from the post office." Dr. Xu replied quickly.

"Got it. I'll take him with me right away!" Yu Hong nodded quickly. "Wait a moment."

He pulled the man into the door and closed it to prevent any ghost shadows.

Then he quickly found a set of stone-cutting tools in the cave, picked up his favorite pyroxene mace, stuffed a protein bar into his mouth, put on a water bag, put on a stab-proof suit, put on a hood, and then put a thick layer of newspaper inside.

Finally, he thought about it and decided to take the pyroxene graphite he had just prepared.

He was hurriedly preparing. Doctor Xu, who had just entered the room, looked at this strange safe house cave in confusion.

Nothing like her safe house.

The ground here is covered with the mysterious rune lines on the surface of pyroxene, which look like white marks rubbed out by stones on the ground. Some are incomplete, while others are still complete.

A huge jade talisman array on the wall attracted her attention.

Somehow, this talisman array gave her a gentle sense of security and made her feel very comfortable.

Apart from that, what surprised and shocked her the most was the fireplace.

This fireplace seems to be made of crystal glass, blending in with the rock wall. The fire burning inside can be clearly seen through, illuminating the cave.

There is also a metal plate on the fireplace that can conduct heat for cooking.

This workmanship, this design.
When Dr. Xu compared the simple firewood in his cave, he felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.

Look at other people, they can even make a fire to cook food and drink hot water when it rains.

As for me, once the door was closed and ventilation was insufficient, I didn't dare to light a fire and cook in the safe house. Otherwise, I would be suffocated to death before the food was cooked.

Looking at the warm and transparent fireplace, the desire in Dr. Xu's eyes was just like a wild dog that had been hungry for ten days or half a month and saw a piece of bacon to fill its stomach.

The greed of wanting to pounce on it and carry the entire fireplace home was so strong that even Yu Hong, who was standing next to him, felt creepy.

"Did you make the fireplace yourself?" Doctor Xu couldn't help but ask. Even if something happened to Old Yu, she couldn't suppress her desire.

"Well, I've been collecting materials for a long time, but I can't copy it. The main body is not made by me, I just stuffed it into the wall." Yu Hong replied quickly.

"That's great." Dr. Xu's eyes were fixed on the fireplace. God knew how long it had been since she had slept peacefully leaning against the stove.

At night, when the door is closed, you must turn off the engine completely, otherwise you will suffocate yourself in the room.

The temperature had already started to drop, and the cave was cold and damp at night, with a musty smell everywhere.
Here, not only is there no musty smell, it is even warm like spring.
"Let's go. Didn't they say that Old Yu got into trouble? We should go over there." Yu Hong urged.

Only then did Dr. Xu touch the fireplace reluctantly and turned to walk out.

"Don't you need to put out the fire in your fireplace?"

"No need, the firewood will go out by itself when it's all burned out. It can also dry the house." Yu Hong replied.

The two of them locked the door and quickly headed towards the post office gathering place.

More than ten minutes later.

When the two arrived at the post office, Jenny and her daughter were already standing at the door of the stone house, holding something in their hands and testing it everywhere.

The screen of that thing was red, and a changing number appeared on it flashing.

Seeing Dr. Yu Hongxu arrive, Jenny turned around with a serious expression and walked over.

"Something has really happened. The red value inside has reached over 100!"

"What does this mean?" Yu Hong asked.

"It means there is a similar ghost in the shelter under the post office." Jenny replied. "But the weird thing is, I checked and the door and vents in the basement have never been opened. It is impossible for Old Yu not to put a bag of pyroxene behind the door."

"So we have to break down the door and take a look! No matter what happened, Old Yu still has a lot of dried meat, mushrooms and other things, enough for us to eat for a long time. These must be rescued." Jenny said quickly.

"We also have to consider how to prepare the food. Old Yu must have complete breeding notes and tools," Dr. Xu added.

"Are we going to break down the door and go in there?" Jenny's daughter Eve couldn't help but interrupt. "It must be dangerous in there, I'm not going. Whoever wants to go can go, but I'm not going!"

Her expression changed slightly, and she took a step back, looking as if it had nothing to do with me.
