Desperate Night.

Chapter 44 044 Thought (Xie Yuxian Qitian Alliance Leader)
Inside the cave safe house.

The early morning sunlight seeped in faintly through the visitor window baffle.

Yu Hong leaned against the fireplace and slowly woke up from his deep dream.

He frowned and tilted his neck. He felt a little numbness in his back and cervical vertebrae, probably because he was pressed down.

When he opened his eyes, the first thing he looked at was Dr. Xu lying on his sleeping bag.

The guy was sleeping soundly and looked much better than yesterday.

"Doctor Xu? Doctor Xu?" He called out a few times.

Doctor Xu slowly moved his eyelids, his legs trembled, and he opened his eyes with a look of alertness.

"I'm alive?"

"It looks like it." Yu Hong replied, "I thought you were paralyzed yesterday, but luckily you recovered after lying down for a night."

Doctor Xu raised his body and moved his cracked lips.

"It's an old problem that tends to recur when I do strenuous exercise. It was just a little more serious than usual yesterday."

"Is that serious?" Yu Hong was speechless.

"It's morning now? What's the situation outside?" Doctor Xu asked in a deep voice. "Is there any water? Give me some."

"I don't know. I haven't been out yet. It seems like there's no movement." Yu Hong stood up and poured her some cold water.

Watching her sipping the drink in small sips, he couldn't help but continue asking.

"To be honest, given the level of danger out there, with evil shadows and monsters coming one after another, you don't have that many big pyroxenes, how did you survive? When I was away, you didn't even have big pyroxenes, right? Can you withstand it?"

"There were no evil spirits around here before," Doctor Xu exhaled, "Just call me Xu Ruoying. You saved me, so we can be considered to have shared the hardship."

"Okay." Yu Hong didn't care about that. He just stared at the other party, waiting for the answer to the previous question. He had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but he never had the chance.

"Actually." Xu Ruoying was somewhat helpless, "Before, we rarely had a head-on confrontation with Ghost Shadow or something like that."

"Then what should we do? Is it possible to avoid it?" Yu Hong asked in surprise.

"Why not?" Xu Ruoying asked, "Didn't the stutterer tell you? How to hide?"

"No" Yu Hong shook his head.

Suddenly a picture flashed through his mind, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

"Wait. I think I've thought of something. Is it possible to use pyroxene to surround a small space and let people hide inside, so that it can serve as a hiding place?"

He thought of the little stutterer who also had a secret room. But that secret room was only big enough for a child to squeeze in, and adults couldn't enter at all.

"That's it." Xu Ruoying nodded, "As long as you use pyroxene to inlay the surrounding walls and the density reaches a certain ratio, it will have the effect of hiding itself. At the critical moment, you hide inside, and the evil shadows will not be able to find you."

"Where are the blood tide black bugs?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. We can only fight it out." Xu Ruoying shook her head.

Yu Hong nodded, finally understanding how the others survived in such a dangerous environment.

Just tell me, how much pyroxene and pyroxene did he consume from the beginning to the end in order to fight against the phantom and evil shadows?
But look at Xu Ruoying, look at Jenny before? And the postman, they obviously don't have that much pyroxene, but they can live for so long without any harm.

This made him very strange.
"Wait!" Xu Ruoying suddenly said, stunned. She stared at Yu Hong with an expression of disbelief in her eyes.

"Could it be that you have never been hiding before? You have been fighting against the evil shadows???!"

"." Yu Hong couldn't answer. If he had known about this technique earlier, he wouldn't have wasted so much pyroxene!
"Oh my God!" Xu Ruoying was speechless. This was the first time she had met such a person. It was only because the other party could make a large pyroxene that he would die without knowing how.

The two looked at each other for a moment, not knowing what to say. They could only sit opposite each other, speechless.

After a moment of silence, Xu Ruoying could no longer sit still. She looked at the sunlight outside the door.

"I have to go back. I need to take out my medicine and dry it out, otherwise it will go bad."

"Let's go out and take a look together." Yu Hong also stood up and walked to the wooden door of the silver talisman array that had been restored.

Swish.

He pulled open the baffle of the visitor window and looked out. Then he pulled open another baffle on the side of the visitor window, revealing high-strength glass that could see outside.

In this way, light can penetrate into both areas of the door, and the sunlight outside can shine in to the greatest extent.

Suddenly the whole cave was bright, and the golden light reflected on the fireplace and shone on the opposite wall, slightly dazzling.

Yu Hong stood at the window and looked out.

It was quiet outside, and the dark green woods were empty. Only the bloodstains left by Jenny on the open ground were particularly conspicuous.

The rustling sound of leaves rubbing against each other was like waves, one after another.

"No movement. Be careful." The silver talisman array in Yu Hong's stab-proof suit was also fully replenished. This made him feel more confident.

Click.

The wooden door was slowly opened.

The two of them walked out slowly, one in front and one behind.

"It looks like it's safe." Xu Ruoying whispered. "I have to go back immediately. Now is the safest time."

"Have a safe journey." Yu Hong nodded. He knew Dr. Xu's temper. This guy was not only tough in words, but also in personality. Anyone who could survive alone in this environment was not a good person.

"I owe you this time!" Xu Ruoying said, quickly jumped down the stone steps, and trotted away towards the post office gathering place.

Her figure slowly sank into the woods and soon disappeared.

Yu Hong stared at her until she was completely out of sight, then he closed the door, jumped down the stone steps, and came to the grass where Jenny had been lying before.

He squatted down and looked carefully at the blood-stained grass, and soon found two deformed copper bullets.

Reaching out to pick up the two bullets, he sighed, and turned back to the cave safe house.

After closing the door, all the talisman arrays were fully replenished. He stretched out his hand and pressed on a bullet.

'Strengthen bullets, direction: restore to normal state.'

'Incompleteness.'

The black seal gave feedback, causing Yu Hong to frown slightly.

He changed direction again.

'Reinforce the bullets to increase their strength.'

This time there was a flash of black line, and it seemed to be successful.

A countdown appeared on the surface of the bullet, very small.

'13 minutes.'

He exhaled, put down the bullet, took out the pistol and put them together.

The next step is to wait and see if the bullet can be restored to its original state.

Recalling what Xu Ruoying said before, using pyroxene to create a completely enclosed space can hide from the evil shadows.
"By the way, I forgot to show Xu Ruoying the research manual." His eyes flashed across the plastic bag on the ground.

"We can only wait until next time. In addition, pyroxene can create a closed space to hide ghosts, so the talisman array is made of pyroxene powder, so it should have a similar effect. I can completely cover the entire safe house cave with the talisman array."

He did it as soon as he thought of it. He quickly took out the great pyrophyll ink and drew the great pyrophyll array on all the blank spaces and gaps on the walls, the floor, the ceiling, and the door.

After a while, the bullets were strengthened.

He returned to the pistol and bullets, squatted down and picked up the bullets.

The previously twisted and deformed bullet has returned to normal, and the surface color has changed from copper to silver-black, as if even the material has been completely changed.

Yu Hong tried to put it into the magazine.

Click.

The bullet is stuck.
"The size is wrong, it's a little too big." He took it out and observed it carefully, and found that the reinforced bullet had become larger in size.

"It seems like it's no use." He put down the pistol and bullets and threw them all into the corner.

Eat a protein bar, drink a glass of water, and stuff some dried mushrooms into your mouth, and your breakfast is solved.

The next step is to strengthen the empty spaces one by one. As long as all areas are covered, it should be able to achieve the hidden effect that Xu Ruoying mentioned before.

The strengthening was only half completed until noon, but there was no sign of the evil shadow outside.

This made Yu Hongxin feel much more at ease.

He thought about it, walked out of the safe house fully armed, and headed towards the post office.

This time, the evil shadow made him deeply understand the value of information. If he knew from the beginning that pyroxene could be used to build a secret hiding room, he would not have to consume so many large pyroxenes and talisman arrays to fight against the ghost shadow and the evil shadow.

Therefore, in order to obtain more information, he decided to discuss the next arrangements with the new postman.

Old Yu died, and Jenny and her daughter also died. Someone had to be responsible for growing mushrooms and meat, otherwise everyone would starve to death. The postman dared to come to the wasteland near Baiqiu Village alone, so he must have something to rely on to survive on his own.

So, it’s definitely right to go find him.

Along the way, Yu Hong was fully focused, paying attention to the movements around him at all times, for fear that the evil shadow girl would suddenly appear and surround him.

Soon he came to the place where Eve had fallen before.

"What about the clothes?"

He frowned, not seeing Eve's clothes on the grass before.

You have to know that Eve's clothes were stained with black handprints and were pressed by stones, so it was impossible for the wind alone to blow them away.

But now.
Yu Hong's eyes kept wandering on the grass, but he couldn't find where Eve's clothes were.

In desperation, he quickened his pace and rushed towards the stone house of the post office.

After a few minutes, he stood in front of the stone house and knocked on the wooden fence outside.

Bang Bang Bang!
After waiting for a while, a slight sound came from the stone house.

A tall and strong man wearing a dark green vest opened the door and walked out. It was Li Runshan, the new postman.

"A living person?"

He asked from a distance with caution.

"I'm Yu Hong, I live nearby, we've met before." Yu Hong replied. "Did you see the clothes with the black handprints on the grass?"

"Burn them together." Li Runshan pointed to a pile of black ashes on the right. "Fortunately, I brought Hidden Mist with me. Fortunately, you didn't come yesterday. Otherwise, if the evil shadow saw us while we were burning, we would have died for sure."

Yu Hong didn't know what the hidden mist was, but when he saw the pile of black ashes, including the metal buckle of Eve's belt, he knew that what the other party said was true. It was indeed burned.

He turned his gaze back to the new postman in front of him and was about to speak.

"Dad, can I come out?" A clear and delicate girl's voice came from the stone house.

"Don't come out for now, I'm talking to someone. Please help me watch the lid and don't let them stick out." Li Runshan turned his head and warned loudly.

After replying, he turned his attention to Yu Hong again.

"Why, do you want to buy something, send a letter, or mail something? The price is negotiable."

"." Yu Hong was speechless. Looking past the other person, he saw a furry little head popping out from the window of the stone house.

She was a little girl, no more than eleven or twelve years old, with pigtails and a chubby fair face that looked like she had a lot of fat.

"How about it? Do you want to buy something? I heard that you have pyroxene marrow for sale here, and it's a good deal to buy anything!" Li Runshan still stood there and smiled.
