Desperate Night.

Chapter 51 051 Easing One (Thanking the Duck Fairy Qi Tian Alliance Leader)

It is more than 80 kilometers away from Baiqiu Village.

A man in gray mountaineering clothes carrying a large bag, holding a trekking pole, wearing a helmet and a mask, was moving quickly along the winding road towards Baiqiu Village.

The road is desolate and deserted, with no end in sight, and it looks like a thin gray line deep in the forest.

The man walked for a while, stopped, made a triangular mark on the tree with a knife, and then looked around.

Click.

Click.

He suddenly heard footsteps slowly approaching from behind.

He turned back suddenly, but could see nothing.

"Tsk, it's this shit again."

The man reached out to take off his backpack, hung it on a branch nearby, then quickly climbed up a big tree, took off the backpack and opened the zipper.

With a swish, he took out a large dark green cover and covered his entire body with it.

The moment he was enveloped, he completely merged with the surrounding environment and disappeared.

At the same time, the strange footsteps behind him completely disappeared.

After waiting for a while, the man took off the cover, folded it and put it back into the backpack, jumped off the branch and continued on his way.

Suddenly he turned left, dived to the ground and lay prone on the ground.

Bang!
There was a gunshot.

The grass beside him was hit and small pieces of black soil were splashed up.

"Bai Mang, you're fucking dead! How dare you sleep with my boss's woman!" A male voice with a strong foreign accent came from the woods in the distance.

The man's expression remained unchanged. He pulled out a black dagger with his backhand and suddenly rolled over on the spot.

Bang bang bang!
Exactly three times in a row, all three shots hit the spot where he was just now, splashing up three pieces of black soil fragments.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the man jumped up from the ground, supported himself with one hand and leaped. After standing firm, he bent his body like a cheetah and rushed towards the direction of the gunshot.

By repeatedly changing left and right, he dodged several shots and finally got close to the gunman.

"grass!"

There were three gunmen in total, all of them strong and wearing stab-proof suits.

Seeing this, the three men dropped their guns, drew their swords and surrounded him.

"Kill him!"

The three men rushed towards the man with knives raised.

But before they could make a move, the man easily dodged it by lowering his head.

Compared to the agility of their opponents, they were more like clumsy blocks of iron, and all the daggers they swung missed.

The man lowered his head to avoid the first man, and stabbed out with his right hand, accurately piercing the first man's abdomen.

He rolled forward and cut the second man's calf with his dagger. Then he stood up and punched the third man hard on the right ear.

In just a few seconds, the three people in front of him fell to the ground one after another. Before they could react, the man turned around and pounced on them, stabbing each of them with a knife.

Puff puff.

Three knives accurately slashed across the throats of the three people.

Blood gushed out, accompanied by a gurgling sound, and then everything returned to calm.

The man stood up, collected the spoils, and continued on his way with his backpack on his back.

From beginning to end, he didn't even take off his backpack.

It rained heavily.

Inside the cave safe house, the fireplace was burning brightly, completely driving away the slightest bit of moisture and cold.

The bright yellow firelight made the dark cave seem like daylight, even though it was already daytime.

Yu Hong stood in an empty space in the cave, practicing the low-level sweeping kick of his heavy leg skill facing forward.

He has discovered that if he does not use internal energy to stimulate it, but simply practices heavy leg skills, he can actually gather new internal energy faster than the high-level physical method.

This martial art combines training and fighting together, and is extremely cost-effective.

So he simply practiced heavy leg skills.

After practicing for a while, he drank some water, sat down to rest, and then continued to strengthen the new talisman formation.

I already have more than 20 ordinary runes. After all, it only takes an hour to strengthen one. If I save up for another two days, I can collect enough to exchange for the Bulletproof Gray Lizard Set.

Yu Hong then bargained with Li Runshan and successfully negotiated for 42 talisman arrays. He also took the talisman array and tested it for the other party, who gave him a positive response.

So, he took this price and negotiated with the newcomer Lao Zhou to trade the second-hand gray lizard set for thirty talismans.

"It's almost done." Yu Hong picked up a bowl of egg white sweet soup and drank it all in one gulp.

Then he stood up and began to add weights to himself and tie things to his legs.

Continuing to practice heavy leg exercises with weights, he clearly felt a trace of warmth flowing through his body again.

In this dangerous environment, the feeling of warm air nourishing his whole body made him unconsciously feel a strong sense of security.

Boom.

There was thunder outside and the rain was getting heavier.

The raindrops hit the wooden door, making a tiny sound.

It was cold and damp outside, and it was raining heavily, so I couldn't see anything clearly.

The room was warm like spring, dry and peaceful. Yu Hong's heart became more and more stable, and he was completely immersed in the hard training of heavy leg skills.

"I don't need to know many moves. As long as I can master one move and use it freely, and can defeat the enemy with one blow, that's enough." Calming down, he practiced hard, and used his rest time to draw the talisman array and strengthen the talisman array board.

After three consecutive days, the heavy rain outside finally stopped.

The entire forest had been washed clean and pure, and the bloodstains on the ground had long been washed away, leaving no trace.

Yu Hong took the talisman array, put a large stack of them together, put them in his backpack, and hurried towards the stone house of the post office.

He had accumulated enough and even got some extra for himself. Now it was time to trade in Lao Zhou's second-hand Gray Lizard suit.

In fact, he doesn’t care whether it is second-hand or not. He will strengthen it again after he gets it back anyway.

He soon arrived in front of the stone house and following a new signpost in front of the stone house, he found Lao Zhou's residence not far away.

The place where Lao Zhou lived was none other than Lao Yu's former residence.

Many things outside the cave were moved out. On the open space, Lao Zhou was sitting on a wooden stool, making some furniture with a carving knife in his hand.

Seeing Yu Hong coming, he stood up quickly.

"You came just in time. I have to go out the day after tomorrow. If you don't come, our deal will have to be postponed."

He put down the carving knife, clapped his hands, turned around and went back into the cave. After a while, he came out with a somewhat worn camouflage suit.

"This is my spare one. Did you bring the talisman array?" Old Zhou looked at Yu Hong.

"Of course." Yu Hong nodded. "May I ask, what do you need so many talisman arrays for? Logically, it would be more convenient to give these things to Lao Li to exchange with the supply team. You alone..."

"It's easy for me to get into trouble when I go out. The talisman array is much lighter than the big pyroxene, and its protection range is much larger. It's very useful." Lao Zhou forced a smile and replied.

"Okay then." Yu Hong took out all the talisman wood boards from his backpack and put them aside for him to check. He then took out the Gray Lizard suit to check.

This Gray Lizard suit was indeed as the other party said, it was not damaged, but it was a little worn and had a dozen bullet holes on the chest.

But the bullet hole failed to penetrate the alloy plate inside, so it does not affect its use.

The helmet and mask are quite complete and not damaged.

Yu Hong was quite satisfied with this.

Over there, Lao Zhou also checked the talisman array with the red value detector, and his expression was equally satisfied.

"It's a pleasure working with you." He forced a smile again.

"It's a pleasure to work with you." Yu Hong nodded with a smile. The two of them successfully bypassed the unscrupulous businessman Lao Li and reached a cooperation.

"Can I ask how long you have lived here?" Lao Zhou suddenly asked somewhat stiffly.

"Not long, maybe a few months." Yu Hong replied casually.

"Then have you ever seen a young man who is shorter than me and has a dark red 8-shaped birthmark on his face passing by?" Lao Zhou asked softly.

"That's not the case. After all, we spend most of our time hiding in our own residence. As you know, we rarely run around outside." Yu Hong shook his head slightly.

"Okay. Thank you very much." Old Zhou's eyes darkened slightly, and he turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cave holding the talisman array.

Looking at his back, Yu Hong guessed that he was looking for someone.

The person described by the other party may very well be a very important person to Lao Zhou.

But unfortunately, at this time of year, if a person is out alone for a long time, something bad will happen sooner or later.
After putting on the gray lizard suit, Yu Hong turned around and returned to the cave without thinking any more. On the way, he passed by the post office stone house and saw Li Runshan playing a stone throwing game with his daughter Aisina in the yard.

When Li Runshan saw the Gray Lizard Suit in his hand, the smile on his face disappeared immediately.

However, Aisina still happily waved to Yu Hong and greeted him from afar.

Even though Yu Hong was completely covered in a stab-proof suit and helmet, the little guy still recognized him at a glance.

“Uncle Yu Hong!”

Yu Hong also waved at her from a distance. Looking at the little girl's chubby face, which was white and plump and shaking elastically, he felt much better.

Without saying much, he headed straight back to the cave safe house. The ground was muddy and wet along the way, and carrying a set of gray lizard suit weighing twelve pounds was more troublesome than going there.

When he returned to the cave, his legs and trousers were covered with grass clippings and black mud.

He closed the wooden door, put the suit down, spread it flat on the ground, and then reached out and pressed it.

Yu Hong's heart was filled with anticipation again. A complete set of bulletproof vests would be enough to raise his security level to a new level.

Immediately, he thought about how to strengthen it and the direction of strengthening it.

Soon, after confirming everything, he muttered to himself.

'Strengthen the heavy-duty bulletproof suit, direction, bulletproof effect, and filter mask effect. Add inner pockets to facilitate the installation of new parts. At the same time, enhance flexibility.'

At this moment, what emerged in his mind was the appearance of the heavy machine gunners in the various shooting war games he had played before.

There are quite a lot of requirements this time, and Yu Hong is also prepared for a longer time.

Soon, black lines flowed out and merged into the suit, and a clear countdown emerged.

'5:15.'

So short?
He was slightly surprised, but then he thought that although he had many requirements, the degree of enhancement was not great. The Gray Lizard suit itself was already a bulletproof vest, and it would not be difficult to slightly enhance the effect and change the design.

'Look, I can definitely add some more content.'

After thinking for a while, he took out the red value detector he had obtained earlier and placed it on the suit.

He reached out and pressed the detector and the suit again, repeating the requirements in his mind, and added one more requirement: it must have a red value detection function.

Soon, a new countdown emerged.

This time it took much longer than before.

'17:21.'

Yu Hong exhaled and confirmed the strengthening.
