Desperate Night.

Chapter 36 036 Trouble (Thanks to the World's Invincible Male Leader)

Jenny glanced at Dr. Xu and found that she also had an expression of approval.

"Okay, let's go back first. Anyway, the food should be enough to get through this high season."

After the three reached an agreement, they began to rush back quickly, picking up some dry firewood along the way.

It was slow on the way out, but much faster on the way back. It took the three of them less than twenty minutes to successfully return to the post office gathering place.

When they were about to part, Yu Hong suddenly thought of a question and asked it.

"By the way, Jenny, I remember that it took several days from the time Old Yu came back to the time the accident happened, right?"

"Yes, it was several days indeed." Jenny nodded.

"Does this mean that even if you are infected, you can delay infection for several days and infect others." Yu Hong frowned. "Then the question is, how is the black handprint transmitted? Do you know?"

"Contact, it should be contact." Jenny replied. "As long as you touch the black handprint, or an individual with a black handprint, you may be infected."

"I see." Yu Hong nodded, and looked at Doctor Xu while holding his things. "Since it is a contact infection, then who did Old Yu come into contact with when he just came back?"

"."The other two were silent.

When they thought about it carefully, they all felt a little scared. As a butcher, Lao Yu had contact with almost everyone. So, any of them could have been infected.

"Let's check again, everyone be careful." Yu Hong paused and looked towards the stone house.

"Also, there is one more thing"

"Mom!" Eve's voice suddenly came from not far away. She looked a little haggard. She changed into a thin gray sweater and black trousers, and walked quickly towards this side.

When she ran closer, she didn't even look at the food in her mother's hand, but glanced around, and the first thing she saw fell on Yu Hong, with a gleam of joy in her eyes.

She immediately walked quickly towards Yu Hong.

"Brother Yu Yu." She forced out a sweet smile and straightened her chest, which made her body curves more prominent. "I heard that you can make pyroxene. I wonder how many pieces you have now? Can you sell me more?"

"Eve!" Jenny, who was standing aside, was somewhat disgusted and scolded.

"It's okay, Brother Yu is a good man, Mom doesn't have to worry." She calmly took another step forward and reached out to hold Yu Hong's hand.

"Stop!" Yu Hong suddenly stepped back with a cold look in his eyes and kept his distance.

"I want to ask a question." He stared at Eve.

"What... What's the problem!?" Eve was frightened by his loud shout and stood there, not daring to continue.

Jenny on the side stared at Yu Hong vigilantly, her hand quietly placed on the handle of the knife on the outside of her thigh.

She was worried that Yu Hong might hurt her daughter. After all, there were too many people who lived alone and had mental problems these days.

Doctor Xu said nothing, and also grasped the handle of the dagger tied to his waist, quietly approaching Yu Hong, his eyes fixed on Eve and Jenny.

Obviously, she trusted Yu Hong more than Jenny and her daughter.

For a moment, the four of them split into two sides, with a hint of confrontation.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to ask a question." Yu Hong took a step back and motioned Dr. Xu to keep his distance as well.

"There are footprints at the door of the stone house of the post office. In addition to the footprints left by us when we left that day, there is another set. Whose are they?!"

His eyes fell on Jenny and Eve.

"Don't lie. After we left that day, I remembered all the footprints, especially the shape. But when I came here today, I found that the footprints were wrong. Someone must have entered and exited the stone house more than once!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the three people changed immediately.

Jenny and Dr. Xu were confused and terrified, while Eve was simply panicked.

Jenny glanced around and immediately noticed that something was wrong with her daughter. She was too familiar with her daughter. Whenever Eve panicked, her body would become stiff, her head would be slightly lowered, and she would not dare to look at anyone. Her hands would unconsciously stick to the outside of her thighs, wiping the sweat from her hands.

"Eve!" she screamed suddenly, her voice echoing in the woods.

"Is it you!?" She gritted her teeth and stared at her daughter in shock. Her eyes were a little bloodshot. She stared at her, hoping that her daughter would answer with "no".

But Eve's reaction caused her original hope to quickly fall through, and then turn into despair!
puff.

Eve covered her face with her hands and stood there, her face pale.

After staying there for a long while, she slowly turned around.

Sure enough, the three of them vaguely saw a small black handprint on her left buttock.

Why did she change into black pants? The purpose was obviously to cover up the black handprints that were gradually appearing on her body.

If Yu Hong hadn't raised the question, Eve herself couldn't resist the questioning, and if the three of them didn't look carefully, they really couldn't tell where the handprints were on the black pants.

Seeing this handprint, Yu Hong and Doctor Xu left without saying anything. "We have found the food this time, let's all disperse and calm down first." Yu Hong said quickly.

"Jenny." Doctor Xu called out. She saw that Jenny didn't seem to have any intention of staying away from her daughter, so she couldn't help but remind her.

"If one person is infected, maybe the pyroxene can still block it, but it's different for two people!" She paused, "There's more."

Dr. Xu stared at Eve with a stern look.

"Keep an eye on your daughter."

Her words were quite rude.

Jenny was stunned for a moment, her eyes red, as if she didn’t hear the reminder, she just turned her head and looked at her daughter.

She stood there, motionless, her chest heaving violently, her back to Yu Hong and Dr. Xu, along with Eve who slowly squatted down, as if she were deaf.

Dr. Xu said nothing more and quickly left with Yu Hong carrying his things.

The two left one after the other, and quickly checked each other, turning around to see if there were any black handprints on their bodies. After confirming that there were none, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

"Eve definitely wants to infect us!" Dr. Xu gritted his teeth.

"Why did she do this!?" Yu Hong took out a half-discolored piece of pyroxene from his chest and exhaled. This thing just reminded him. He was not sure who entered the stone house. But after the pyroxene showed abnormality, he quickly locked the target.

"There must be some benefits, otherwise, she, who is alone and older than others, would not hide it or take the initiative to contact others." Doctor Xu guessed.

"I've always felt that it was a little strange." Yu Hong said. "With Eve's personality, how could she not be alert in such a difficult environment? There are shadows and bugs everywhere, hasn't she ever been scared?"

"Speaking of this." Doctor Xu showed a trace of reminiscence, "Eve is indeed different from ordinary people. I remember when Jenny and her family first came here, her father was still there. He was an old man with a very weak body and no blood on his face. He was very old, at least 20 or 30 years older than Jenny. And..."

"And what?"

"Besides, at that time, Eve was rarely seen out. Usually it was her parents who showed up." Dr. Xu recalled. He walked to a tree and leaned against the trunk.

"Later, Eve's father suddenly said he was going out one day, and he never came back. And then Eve started going out. This girl is amazing. Although she looks silly, she is actually a language genius. She knows four foreign languages ​​and has a deep understanding of ancient linguistics. I don't know why their family moved here."

"Are there any other abnormalities?" Yu Hong asked.

"There's one more thing." Doctor Xu suddenly frowned. "No one has ever entered their cave. No one is allowed to visit. Also, during several high tide periods, everyone almost couldn't make it, and several people died. But their family has been fine."

"It seems that they have some problems." Yu Hong nodded. From what he got from Dr. Xu, it seemed that they had some hidden secrets.

"For sure. Before, after Eve went to town, she brought back two men who were pursuing her, but they disappeared soon after. I don't know why, but I always feel that there is something wrong with this girl." Dr. Xu frowned.

"Don't get close to them for now. Come to me if you have any problems. Come and tell me if you find anything unusual." Yu Hong took out another piece of large pyroxene from his waist bag.

"I'll give you a piece of pyroxene on credit first. Remember to be careful. When pyroxene changes color, it will emit a slight amount of heat. If you carry it close to you, you can tell whether there are dangers in many places."

He handed the pyroxene to Dr. Xu. No matter what, this guy was the only medical staff nearby, and he was also an acquaintance of his, and he was also a good person. He would help if he could.

"Thank you!" Doctor Xu's eyes flickered, and her face showed a hint of emotion. She quickly took the pyroxene and said, "I am researching a herbal medicine, which is basically made of wild grass and minerals found nearby. It is very helpful for wound infection. It is almost done, and I will give it to you for free!"

"Okay!" Yu Hong's eyes lit up. He didn't expect to get extra benefits. "Be careful."

"I know!" Dr. Xu nodded heavily.

The two separated under the tree and returned to their own homes.

By the time we returned to the safe house cave, it was already dark.

Yu Hong put the dry firewood in the corner, made a fire, and started cooking.

Sitting by the fireplace, he carefully recalled the details of Jenny and Eve, and his brows furrowed more and more.

"The evil shadow is getting closer and closer, and it has reached the people around me without making any sound. Eve is definitely dead. Jenny is with her, and if she is not ruthlessly separated, she will also die. In this case, it is estimated that only Dr. Xu and I will be left. The food problem has not been solved yet, and we have lost two more people."

He sighed and poked the bottom of the firewood with a stick to allow more oxygen to flow in.

The red firelight reflected on his face, flickering on and off.

After adding the firewood, Yu Hong stood up and checked the talisman array on the wall that was still being strengthened. He had already arranged talisman arrays everywhere on the inner wall of the cave. But it was not extreme strengthening, but ordinary strengthening.

At this time, talisman arrays were densely covered on all the walls and the ground, in order to prevent the strange shadows that could travel through matter from entering the cave.

The threat of the evil shadow is imminent, and he must be prepared to the greatest extent possible.

This talisman array spread all over the cave is the first step.

The second step is to make a temporary array disk that can be carried and used. The purpose of making this is to go to other places to find the ghost shadow to test the protection range of the array.

How large an area a talisman array can protect is a very important data.

Only after determining the area can he strengthen this thing on his clothes, weapons and protective gear, and even on himself!
