Desperate Night.

Chapter 33 033 Trouble (Thank you, Saint Immortal, Leader of the Qitian Alliance)

"If you don't go down, there will be no food, Eve." Jenny frowned and advised quietly. "I can go down, you can meet me up there, okay?"

"Okay. Then you have to be careful, mom." Eve whispered. When she heard that she didn't have to go down, she immediately stopped objecting.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and let's get started." Dr. Xu glared at Eve unhappily.

She stretched out her hand towards Yu Hong.

"Give me the things and I'll open the door."

"Let me do it." Yu Hong shook his head, picked up the stone chiseling set, and walked to the door of the stone house of the post office.

"Open this door first, then where is the entrance to the basement?"

"Inside the house, so we have to open two doors." Dr. Xu replied.

Without saying a word, Yu Hong took out a hammer and chisel and started smashing the door lock.

As the muffled sound of "dong dong dong" continued to spread.

After hitting it for dozens of times, the door lock of the stone house was finally smashed into pieces, wood chips were scattered all over the ground, and a fist-sized hole was smashed in the keyhole.

The wooden door suddenly became loose.

Yu Hong retracted the hammer, took a step back, and kicked forward.

Bang.

The wooden door remained motionless.

"Wait!" Doctor Xu on the side was speechless. He reached out, grabbed the door handle and pulled it out.

With a creak, the door was gently opened, revealing the dark environment inside.

"Okay." Yu Hong was speechless and put away his tools.

Several people stood at the door, and the first thing they saw was a mesh bag dropped on the ground at the door.

The red mesh bag is filled with pieces of grayish-white pyroxene.

However, at this moment, all the pyroxene had turned pale, and it was obvious that they had all been consumed.

Seeing the consumed pyroxene bag, several people looked at each other and their expressions became serious.

"All the pyroxene has been consumed. Apparently a ghost has entered. Be careful, everyone. Ghosts like to hide in dark environments like this." Jenny was the first to speak. In fact, her skills were the best among the group.

"I'll go in first." After thinking for a while, Jenny took out a round piece of pyroxene from her waist bag. The material of this pyroxene is exactly the same as the one Yu Hong strengthened, but the pattern on it is completely different, and it is still the simplified pattern of the old version.

"Is this pyroxene marrow?!" Doctor Xu beside him said in surprise. "This is not an ordinary product. One piece is worth ten pieces of ordinary pyroxene and is extremely expensive. How could you have it?"

"My husband left this behind." Jenny replied coldly. If she hadn't felt extremely dangerous this time, she wouldn't have been willing to use it. This was supposed to be a life-saving treasure.

"It's been many years, right? I heard that there have been new changes to the runes on it recently, and a more complex version with better effects has come out. Yours is outdated, why don't you wash it and redraw it?" Doctor Xu asked curiously.

"It can't be washed off, and washing it is useless. This rune serves to guide the arrangement. The effect takes effect the moment it is drawn, and it will have no effect even if it is wiped off afterwards." Jenny explained.

As she spoke, she hung the pyroxene around her neck, pulled out the machete from the outside of her thigh with one hand, held the red value detector in the other hand, and walked carefully into the door.

She walked in front, Dr. Xu in the middle, and Yu Hong in the rear. As for Eve, she was unwilling to go down, so she stayed at the door of the stone house to watch over it.

The three of them lined up in a line and walked inside, soon arriving at the central hall of the stone house.

There is an open basement door on the floor of the central hall, and inside the door is a dark basement entrance.

Gusts of cold wind gushed out from the entrance and spread to the surroundings, as if making the entire stone house extremely cold.

The three of them looked at each other, and Jenny took out an atomic light flashlight, pointed it at the entrance, and pulled open the flashlight shield. Suddenly, green fluorescent light shone in, illuminating a section of rusty silver metal vertical ladder.

"I'll go down first. Don't rush in. I'll call you when I'm better." She took a deep breath and reminded the two of them.

"Okay!" Dr. Xu responded, and Yu Hong nodded.

After making sure that the two were okay, Jenny turned over, gently climbed onto the metal ladder, and climbed down like a monkey.

Soon they reached the basement hall which was more than ten meters deep.

While Jenny was downstairs, Dr. Xu took out a hand-drawn map and unfolded it for Yu Hong to see.

"The main structure down here is a series of corridors. We are going down to the junction of all the corridors. With this place as the center, there are three corridors connected around it. Each corridor has many rooms and storage rooms. After all, this place was built for refuge in the past. The original purpose was to prevent weapons of mass destruction in war." Doctor Xu sighed, "I just didn't expect it to be used at this time."

"Is the corridor narrow?" Yu Hong looked down and asked with a frown.

"A little bit. I've been down there several times before, all to bandage the postman. The corridor downstairs is at most one meter wide, and in order to save materials and space, it's not very high." Doctor Xu nodded.

Yu Hong stopped talking. He stood at the side of the basement, his hand unconsciously stroking the handle of the pyroxene mace, and the expression on his face was more serious than usual.

Time passes little by little.

About five minutes later, Jenny's voice came from below.

"It's okay, come down, there's nothing inside." There was a hint of fatigue in her voice, accompanied by the faint green light of the atomic lamp.

Yu Hong and Doctor Xu looked at the pyroxene on their bodies at the same time, and after confirming that there were no signs of consumption, they slowly climbed down the metal ladder.

The two of them went all the way down to the small hall in the center of the basement, put their feet on the ground, and looked at the surrounding environment.

Under the green light, the entrances to the three corridors were distributed on the walls surrounding the small hall, like three dark and terrifying caves, with cold wind constantly blowing out.

"I have found the room where Lao Yu usually lives. Come with me." Jenny held the flashlight and spoke in a low voice. "Have you found him?" Doctor Xu's face tightened and he asked hurriedly. It was not that she cared about Lao Yu, but without this guy, everyone's future food might be a lot more troublesome.

"I don't know." Jenny shook her head, turned around and led the way towards one of the corridors.

The two followed her through the dark corridor and headed towards one of the rooms on the side.

"Old Yu has no shortage of supplies, so why doesn't he get some atomic lamps to illuminate everything? Isn't he afraid that this place is so dark?" Doctor Xu couldn't help but ask.

"He once said that the radiation from atomic lamps was too strong and he was afraid that he would get cancer. Now it seems..." Jenny didn't say anything else. Among the three people present, she and Lao Yu had spent the longest time together.

Dr. Xu and Yu Hong were actually outsiders who were later rescued by the little stutterer.

So Jenny knows best about Lao Yu.

"He is a coward, stingy and miserly. He even pursued me before." As she spoke, she sighed again.

The other two were speechless. Although Jenny was old, she was in good shape, strong and healthy, with few wrinkles on her face and well-maintained skin. In addition, everyone's skin color became pale due to lack of sunlight during this period, which made her look more like the Western vampire beauty that Yu Hong had seen before.

So it is possible that Lao Yu had pursued her before.

"It's here, be careful." Jenny held the large pyroxene in one hand and looked at the half-open iron gate, her expression becoming more serious.

She used the tip of the machete, lightly moved forward, and used the tip of the knife to push the door open.

Squeak.

The iron door slowly opened, revealing the dark bedroom inside.

The bedroom was completely empty, and the bed in the corner was in disarray, as if someone had stayed there before. The other tables, chairs, cabinets, etc. were all normal, without any strange signs.

Jenny was about to go inside.

Suddenly, she stepped back quickly, her breathing becoming rapid.

"Be careful!!"

She opened her arms to block the two people behind her.

"Look at the ground!" she said quickly.

Yu Hong and Dr. Xu looked in the direction of the sound at the same time.

A set of gray men's work clothes were scattered on the black floor of the bedroom.

The work clothes were long sleeves and long pants, with a dirty yellowed white shirt underneath, and a pair of long rubber shoes under the trouser legs. The shiny white rubber glowed a faint green light under the atomic lamp.

"They are Lao Yu's clothes and shoes." Jenny said in a low and complicated voice.

"The person should be dead." Doctor Xu looked at the remaining clothes and felt a little depressed. The gathering place was already sparsely populated, and now another person died, and the person who produced the key food died. This had a great impact on them.

She squatted down and reached out to pick up Lao Yu's clothes.

Suddenly, her pupils shrank and she quickly stood up and stepped back.

"Wait!! Everyone, step back! Don't touch this dress!!"

Hearing her words, Jenny and Yu Hong quickly retreated without saying a word.

"What's going on!?" Yu Hong also became nervous, holding the stick tightly in his hand and looking around.

"Look at the back of the clothes!" Doctor Xu gritted his teeth and said, his voice trembling.

Yu Hong quickly looked over there with the help of the atomic light.

I saw that Dr. Xu had just turned Old Yu's clothes over, and a clear small black handprint was exposed on the sleeve of his back!
"Black handprint!?" His heart sank. He had just heard about the characteristics of the evil shadow withered girl, and now he saw this special black handprint.

"Retreat quickly! We can't stay here anymore!" Jenny made a prompt decision and turned around and left.

The other two also felt a chill in their hearts and followed closely.

The three of them did not dare to touch anything. They quickly returned to the small hall, climbed up the vertical ladder and returned to the stone house.

Bang.

Jenny kicked the entrance to the basement closed with a metal cover.

"You can't enter this place!" she said firmly.

"This guy, Old Yu, definitely didn't escape on his own! Now that I think about it, he must have been infected with the black handprint a long time ago, so he was driven out and couldn't be relocated together!" Doctor Xu's face turned pale, "This old guy actually hid it from us! I think I've had contact with him, could I be infected too?"

"Everyone check each other carefully. I heard that as long as there is no direct contact, it is generally not contagious. Black handprints will show through clothes." Jenny breathed in with a tingling scalp. She was also very angry now. After all, Lao Yu's concealment is likely to bring disaster to everyone here.

"Let's check each other." Yu Hong was silent for a long time and suddenly spoke.

Suddenly, the three of them were silent.

Then, the three of them slowly moved away from each other and surrounded each other to check if there were any black handprints on their bodies.

A few minutes later, fortunately, none of the three were infected, which made them obviously relieved.

"We can't stay here anymore, let's go out first." Jenny said in a deep voice.

"What about food?" Yu Hong asked. "Without Old Yu, we have to get our own food. Wild vegetables alone are definitely not enough."

"I have some knowledge of Lao Yu's breeding process. You can try it out. If it doesn't work, go down and look for it." Jenny replied.
