Desperate Night.

Chapter 38 038 Secret (Thanks to Chief Genius Gargamel)

The sky was dim and dusk was approaching.

In front of the cave safe house.

dong dong dong.

There was a rapid knock on the door.

Jenny stood in front of the door, holding a knife in one hand and knocking on the door with the other.

"Yu Hong! Is there any business you need?" She looked at the sky and knew that it was almost night and she had to hurry.

"What business?" Yu Hong walked behind the door and asked her through a door.

He didn't expect that Jenny would come to his place so late. But it was also expected that she would come sooner or later.

"What happened to my daughter is my fault. I apologize to you. But everyone is selfish and wants to survive. I hope you understand this." Jenny said quickly, looking vigilantly in other directions.

Yu Hong was inside the door and sneered when he heard this.

It almost infected both him and Dr. Xu, but such a big thing was downplayed by the other party.

I originally thought Jenny was pretty normal, but now it seems that she is indeed similar to her daughter.

"What do you want to say? We have nothing to say." He said coldly.

"I want to buy all your extra pyroxene for an offer you can't refuse," Jenny said quickly.

"It's almost the peak period, and I don't think there is anything I can't refuse." Yu Hong was indifferent.

“You can listen first.” Jenny continued, not at all surprised by Yu Hong’s answer.

She continued to talk to herself, "You definitely don't know how Eve and I came to this place. Baiqiu Village is just a very remote village. Why would my family take the initiative to come all the way here?"

Yu Hong didn't say anything. From this point of view, it was indeed a bit strange.

"My husband used to be a researcher working for the Silver Tower Joint Research Institute. The Silver Tower does not refer to a single place, but is a collective name for a large number of research institutes all over the world."

Jenny continued.

"In his research, he discovered that some places in the world are the source of the initial appearance and derivation of the black disaster. Baiqiu Village is in a similar situation. So."

"So he brought us here to find the source. He taught Eve since she was young, and both of them have good attainments in ancient languages. They found an underground ruin near this village."

After a pause, Jenny exhaled.

"Of course, these are not the most important. The most important thing is that my husband brought out a kind of liquid metal from the inside of the Silver Tower. It can be used in the same way as spray paint. Its name is Sunshine No. 1."

"This liquid metal is the only substance currently under research that can block and isolate strange shadows." Jenny sighed.

"I still have a vial of this metal in my hand. I can trade it with you. For all your pyroxene!"

Sunshine One?
Is there such a thing?

Yu Hong was half-believing and half-doubting, and didn't say anything for a while. Strangely, Jenny didn't urge him, but stood outside the door and continued.

"You can think about it carefully. Eve is hiding in Sunshine Room No. 1 now. She can be isolated from the evil shadow temporarily, but she can't stay here forever. As long as she takes a step out, she may be entangled by the evil shadow immediately. So, after the peak period, I will come again! I hope you will have made a decision by then."

After saying this, Jenny quickly left the door and quickly disappeared into the woods at a trot, as agile as a cheetah.

After a while, she returned to the cave where she lived.

He closed the door, locked it, and stood outside the silver metal door where his daughter was.

Squatting down, Jenny saw a bag of pyroxene placed on the ground outside the silver metal door, which had turned into white powder at some point.

Her expression suddenly changed.

"Eve, are you still there?" she asked loudly.

"Yes, Mom!" Eve responded quickly from inside.

"According to the attack pattern, this guy's next attack should be in six hours. I used the red value detector to judge that the environmental red value will reach a peak of more than 200 before the attack! Pyroxene can neutralize the red value as much as possible and offset the peak, making it impossible for it to show up and attack. So the only thing I can do next is to find as much pyroxene and large pyroxene as possible and put them next to you to neutralize the environmental red value!"

Jenny said in a deep voice.

She at this moment was completely different from who she was in front of Dr. Yu Hongxu.

She obviously knows a lot more, without any hiding or disguise.

"I understand. It's okay. It's just that this black handprint is driving me crazy and making me want to infect more people. It gives me a feeling that as long as I can infect enough people, I can be safe from harm!" Eve replied loudly inside.

"It's okay, just like before. As long as I have the things your father left behind, I will heal you! It's okay, Eve." Jenny comforted.

"I believe you, Mom." Eve responded in kind.

Jenny then began making the food they would need while preparing for the high.

Night slowly falls.

Yu Hong was stirring the firewood in the fireplace, cooking the thick soup that he had just added.

The gate and the silver rune array have been restored. Next he must keep the black mark and prepare for the next possible strengthening.

In the afternoon, Jenny's words were still echoing in his ears.

"Ancient language? One of the origins of the black disaster? Sunshine No. 1?"

These things and these names cast a veil of mystery over his mind, as he originally thought that Baiqiu Village was just an ordinary mountain village.

In fact, Yu Hong has always been very curious about one thing, that is, where did the red rune on the surface of pyroxene come from? It doesn't seem like a product of modern technology.

This modern society, which is obviously not inferior in technology, must have its own way of dealing with ghost shadows and blood tides. What is this way?
And now, Jenny has given a possible answer.

It is most likely Sunshine One.

Thinking of this, he stood up, walked to the corner, took out the stack of newspapers that he had brought from Little Stutter, and flipped through them page by page. Soon, he paused and took out one of the newspapers.

There was a report in this newspaper that mentioned the Sunshine No. 1 material.

'.Professor Peng Siwei translated the newly developed special liquid metal as Sunshine No. 1. This liquid metal has the property of solidifying when exposed to light. It was first discovered around several black disaster sources. The production of this material is believed to be generated along with the black disaster.'

"There really is such a thing." Yu Hong was slightly stunned.

He thought of what Dr. Xu had said. Jenny and the other man had encountered extremely dangerous highs many times before, but they had gotten through them safely.

Coupled with Eve's temperament and personality that are incompatible with the surrounding environment.

From this point of view, Jenny and her daughter must have a secret, and it is not an ordinary secret.

"From her tone just now, she was very confident that she and her daughter could survive the high period. Maybe that's the effect of Sunshine No. 1."

Thinking of this, Yu Hong felt a little moved.

Bang! !

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the gate.

He turned his head and looked towards the wooden door.

I saw the door shaking slightly, as if some huge animal was ramming it madly outside the door.

Bang!
Bang!
Bang! !

There was a continuous series of loud bangs.

Black bugs began to pour in from the vents like sand.

These insects have black shells, slender and dense short legs, and mouthparts that are as ferocious as centipede mouthparts.

But no matter how ferocious they were, the moment they entered the safe house, they were melted by the fire, turned into black smoke and disappeared.

Yu Hong looked calm. The rising tide was not a big threat to him now. He only needed to wait for Da Pi to leave and then quickly repair the gate.

Taking advantage of this time, Yu Hong paid attention to the changes in the strength of the gate while continuously drawing ordinary talisman arrays and then strengthening them with black seals.

All of these talismans were drawn on ordinary wooden boards, and then he finally stacked them together piece by piece and connected them into a whole piece with wooden nails made in advance.

In this way, a large talisman array plate made up of nine wooden boards stacked on top of each other was successfully completed.

During the six-day high tide period, Yu Hong made a total of three such talisman arrays. Two of them were made by stacking ordinary talismans, and the last one was made by stacking ordinary talismans with a silver talisman as the core, which was a silver core version.

It is to deal with the evil shadow girl who may arrive at any time.

Soon, the high period passed.

Early the next morning.

Yu Hong opened the door and prepared to go out to replenish firewood, and soon he heard a faint sound of footsteps approaching here.

He returned to the stone steps at the entrance of the cave and looked out from above.

In the distance of the woods, Jenny and Eve were seen approaching this side quickly.

Six days passed, and Jenny looked more and more haggard, with dark and sunken eyes. She had lost a lot of weight.

The same thing happened to her daughter Eve. Her originally bright blonde hair lost its luster, and she became timid and fearful.

But no matter what, it has been six days. She is still alive and has not been killed by the evil shadow. This in itself is abnormal.

Seeing the two people approaching, Yu Hong quickly went back to the house without saying a word, closed the door, and waited quietly for the two people to arrive.

The initial impression he had of Jenny and her daughter had faded, replaced by a special feeling with a hint of mystery.

Soon, the two men stood outside the wooden door, separated from Yu Hong by only a door panel.

"It's been six days. What do you think? Maybe you need to try the effect." Jenny asked outside the door in a hoarse voice.

"How do I know that the Sunshine One you mentioned is real? After all, you don't have what I need, and the exchange relationship between us is not equal." Yu Hong said coldly.

"People always want to live." Jenny said, "Eve just wants to survive. Is she wrong?"

"She is not wrong." Yu Hong said, "But this has nothing to do with me. I have no reason to help you."

"But there's nothing we can do," Jenny said, reaching out and grabbing a stick, at the end of which was her daughter Eve's hand.

The two people were connected by such a stick.

"I said, this has nothing to do with me." Yu Hong said calmly. He didn't want to care about people like Eve who wanted to secretly infect others.

"You have the ability! This has to do with you!" Jenny raised her voice.

"I have no obligation to help you." Yu Hong retorted.

"But we have no choice!" Jenny replied, "Don't force us."

Her eyes became more dark and dangerous.

"How did I force you? I don't have the ability to save you, and this is called forcing you?" Yu Hong was almost laughing out of anger. He had only heard of such people before, but he didn't expect to actually meet such people in real life.

"Faced with the threat of death, many people can do anything to stay alive." Jenny's eyes became calmer.

Behind her, her daughter Eve took a step forward and stood out.

"But if you help us at this time, we would be very grateful to you," Jenny continued.

"I don't need your gratitude." Yu Hong said in a low voice.

"Then we'll die together." Jenny smiled. "From now on, Eve will sit next to your door. If she dies here, the black handprint of the withered woman will remain at your door forever. Your cave safe house will be completely ruined and become one of the sources of evil shadows! Whenever you go out, you will be covered with the black handprint of the evil shadow!"
