Desperate Night.

Chapter 41 041 Xin Yi (Xie Ruonian is intoxicated by her sincere leader)

The sun is shining and the shadows of the trees are swaying.

The remaining clothes of Eve were blown away by the wind, but because of the pressure of the stone, she remained in the same place, motionless.

On the grass, a tiny black centipede slowly emerged from the soil and approached the pile of clothes.

The centipede did not climb up directly, but kept circling around the clothes, back and forth.

After realizing that it couldn't get into the clothes, the centipede became obviously impatient and turned around to crawl somewhere else.

puff!
At this moment, a black hand reached out from the pile of clothes and grabbed the centipede.

Whoosh.

The black hand retreated back into the pile of clothes and disappeared, along with the centipede.

Not long after, the pile of clothes seemed to be grabbed by something and pulled to the side, immediately pulling the stone away and rolling to the side.

The clothes seemed to be blown by the wind, rolling continuously, as if they were living things, rushing towards the direction of the previous post office gathering place.

With a rustling sound, the envelope was torn open and the letter paper was unfolded.

Yu Hong carefully read this hard-earned letter.

'I'm Lin Yiyi. I've been at this seaside base for three days. According to regulations, our squadron will be stationed here for a long time in the future, so you can also send your letters directly here. There is an address at the end. But remember not to send any important items, as they may be lost along the way.'

"It's Yiyi." Yu Hong breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the little stutterer was fine, he put his worries aside.

Keep reading.

'I left in a hurry that day, but I don't regret leaving. Baiqiu Village became more and more unfamiliar and dangerous to me.'

Here are the crossed-out marks. Apparently some words were written but deleted.

'My father and grandfather disappeared, and my mother suddenly went out one day and never came back.

I remember that when the food at home was gone, I ate mice and bugs. Later, there were fewer and fewer mice and bugs. I also ate tree bark and mud. Later, my stomach became bigger and my mind became more and more unclear. I realized that I couldn't eat mud and tree bark anymore. So I walked out.'

'I stayed outside all night. You would never guess that there were no black bugs that night, so I survived. I stayed in the pyroxene mine near the village. If you are in a situation where you can't cope with it, go there. But remember not to stay there for too long. I got a fever the same day after I came back from there. I don't remember much about what happened afterwards, but I remember that a grandfather who wanted to steal something from the house saved me.'

'I was still young at that time, and my head was stupid. I didn't understand anything, so I gave him everything. Later, whenever I was about to die, he would come out and give me some food. But after I grew up, I never saw him again. Maybe he died. '

'Well, after saying so much, I just want to tell you that I'm fine, I'm still fine, don't worry. By the way, this letter was written by my roommate Anselin, she is a very good person. She is also very good to me. If you have any good things, you can give her some.'

Seeing the last sentence, Yu Hong couldn't help laughing. This sentence obviously couldn't have been said by the little stutterer. It was probably added by her roommate. The sentence was so smooth that it might have been polished by this person.

But it doesn't matter. At least these contents prove that the little stutterer is indeed fine.

Moreover, she is in the mood to reminisce about the past, which means that she should be in a relatively stable environment.

After reading the letter, he turned it over and saw a somewhat scribbled map on the back.

The map shows Baiqiu Village, the post office, the town, the pyroxene mine, and the ruins.

There are lines connecting the locations, with numbers written on them.

Yu Hong carefully distinguished and found that these numbers should be the estimated time it took for the little stutterer to walk.

His expression softened. With this crude map, he knew exactly where the mine and ruins were.

Just as he was about to fold the letter and put it away, his eyes suddenly seemed to sweep to a certain place on the map.

Yu Hong stopped and unfolded the map again to observe it carefully.

really.

On the map, a small black dot is drawn next to the ruins.

This black dot is inconspicuous on the map, but it is carefully crossed out with a red cross and a small line of words written on the edge.

'Don't go!'

"Even Baiqiu Village doesn't have this mark. It seems that this place is far more dangerous than Baiqiu Village." He carefully memorized the location.

After putting away the letter, he quickened his pace and headed towards the cave where Jenny and her daughter lived.

Soon he arrived at the entrance of the cave.

Stand still.

He glanced around the cave and made sure there was no one else there. Then he took out a large piece of pyroxene from his arms and approached the gate step by step.

Crouching in front of the door, he took out the key, gently inserted it, twisted it, and pulled it upwards.

Click.

The wooden door disguised as a lawn made a clear unlocking sound and was then pulled upwards.

Yu Hong looked inside and saw a dark and deep tunnel.

A hint of hesitation suddenly appeared on his face.

If you get into a place like this and are blocked by people outside, you will surely die.

If Jenny and her daughter were still there, they would definitely know that there should be other exits inside.

But he was not the owner and did not know what dangers and exits were inside.

puff.

He closed the door again, locked it, and left.

'I need someone to stand guard outside before I can try to search inside. 'There is another way, but it is not suitable at this time.

He quickly left Jenny's house and came directly to the door of Dr. Xu's house.

Unlike Jenny's house, the cave where Dr. Xu lives is just an ordinary hilly cellar.

The door was very solid, with a cross-shaped window on one side. From the outside, it looked like the hill had been completely hollowed out.

dong dong dong.

Yu Hong went forward and knocked on the door.

"Who!?" Doctor Xu's vigilant voice came from inside.

"It's me, Yu Hong."

"When was the last time we were apart?"

"Before the surge period erupts, you should first determine whether the pyroxene reacts," Yu Hong reminded.

There was silence behind the door. After a few seconds, the wooden door opened with a click.

Doctor Xu's face emerged from inside, looking a little tired and haggard, but his eyes were much brighter than before.

"You came just in time! My herbal medicine worked!" She said with great joy. "I tested it on mice and found that it really can replace the treatment and disinfection of wound inflammation! The effect is only slightly weaker than that of antibiotics. Of course, I also make penicillin and erythromycin myself, but it can't solve the problem of pollution interference. I need better disinfection equipment."

She pulled Yu Hong into the room, locked the door, and then walked into the house excitedly.

There are three rooms in this cellar. One is her bedroom where she puts her bed, another is filled with various utensils and tools, obviously a workshop, and the other is a utility room, which seems to also be used as a bathroom.

The entire cave house was filled with a strong musty smell, and it was cold and damp.

This is also a common situation in most cellars and basements.

"Come, come here!! I have really got the herbal medicine I promised you this time!" Doctor Xu's face flushed, and he seemed to be in a state of mental excitement.

She pulled Yu Hong into the workshop and pointed at a plate of paste that had been stirred into green mud.

"That's it! I succeeded! I tried it on mice, and the inflammation was completely eliminated! This is a brand new anti-inflammatory drug. If the social order is still there, I will definitely make a fortune! Make a lot of money!"

"Very impressive!" Yu Hong nodded, and his opinion of Dr. Xu was elevated a lot.

Being able to make such herbs, if they can really be used, means that they will have a steady supply of herbs to use in the future. This is undoubtedly a huge benefit for them who are in serious shortage of medicines.

But the purpose of his coming here was not to see Dr. Xu's new medicine.

After the other party had finished talking and calmed down a little, he sorted out his words and spoke seriously to Dr. Xu.

"Do you remember Jenny's daughter Eve? She was the one who wanted to infect us with the Black Handprint."

"Of course. After such a long time, she must be dead?" Doctor Xu frowned and calmed down a little from her excitement. She also vaguely realized that Yu Hong's sudden visit might be wrong.

"Dead." Yu Hong nodded, "Her mother Jenny is also dead."

"Jenny is dead too?" Dr. Xu was a little surprised, but he quickly accepted it.

"That's right. His daughter was so evil. Maybe she was infected by her. It's better that she died. I finally see their true colors."

She paused and suddenly looked at Yu Hong.

"There's a new postman, did you know?"

"Yes, I just met him. His name is Li Runshan and he seems like a nice guy." Yu Hong nodded.

"You can send letters there. Yiyi sent me a letter and I plan to reply, but the price is a bit high." Dr. Xu frowned.

Yu Hong was also thinking about this. The pyroxene was heavy and difficult to mail. It might even get dropped during the delivery. No, it would definitely be taken away.

"That's perfect. Jenny and the others are dead, but their belongings and supplies are still there." Yu Hong said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Dr. Xu's eyes lit up.

A moment later, the two came to Jenny's cave again.

Yu Hong pulled up the lid, revealing the dark tunnel underneath, and then looked at Dr. Xu.

"Who's going in?"

Although he trusted Dr. Xu more than others, he was still a little worried about entering a closed tunnel at this time.

"I'll go." Without saying a word, Dr. Xu bent down and went towards the tunnel.

After a while, he disappeared into the underworld.

Yu Hong was guarding the cave entrance, looking around vigilantly.

After waiting for about five minutes, there was movement again in the tunnel. Dr. Xu came out of the tunnel with difficulty, dragging a large plastic bag.

"Done!" She was covered in dirt, her hair was soaked with sweat, and even her grey shirt was wet, revealing her plump body curves, but she didn't care.

"There are a lot of good things in there, but I don't dare to take too much. I don't dare to touch many things."

"What do you mean?" Yu Hong frowned and pulled her out.

"Many things inside clearly have no trace, but the pyroxene I'm wearing will react when approached." Doctor Xu pulled out a piece of pyroxene from his chest that he was wearing as a pendant. He saw that more than half of the stone had turned into lime.

"But the most important thing has been taken out, and the rest can be taken later." Her expression changed and she took out a black square box from her pocket. It was something like a pager, the size of a palm, with a gray LCD screen in the middle.
