Desperate Night.

Chapter 68 068 Conclusion (Available tonight at midnight, please subscribe)
"I am the person who issues the tasks. You can just call me Yu Hong." Yu Hong nodded at Xu Fan in a friendly manner.

"What is the reward for the mission?" Xu Fan asked directly.

"I need to check and then confirm your needs, finally finalize the required materials, and then repair it. This is the standard process, is it ok?" Yu Hong replied.

With the black mark there, he wasn't worried about whether it could be repaired, he was only concerned about how long it would take to repair.

"That's no problem." Xu Fan nodded, "But I can only stay here for half a month. Can it be repaired in half a month?"

"Check first." Yu Hong emphasized.

Xu Fan glanced at Li Runshan, who nodded at him, and immediately chose to believe in Lao Li's credibility.

Although Lao Li is a bad guy, his credibility is impeccable.

Immediately, he grabbed one of his gloves and began to take off his suit piece by piece.

Not long after, a burly and strong bald man over two meters tall appeared in front of them.

The giant's face was covered in grease paint, and there was a bloody wound on the tip of his nose, obviously an injury he had just suffered.

"The main part that needs repair is the helmet face. If possible, I hope to strengthen it. There is also damage in the lower back, which was caused by an armor-piercing bullet. There is a dent in the left knee, which was caused by killing a troublesome guy before."

"Bronze statue of Chris?" Li Runshan asked casually.

"Well, that guy's strength is about the same as mine, and his suit is also very comprehensive. We fought for more than three hours before we decided who was the winner." Xu Fan nodded.

"Understood. I need tools for special evaluation. I'll take the suit back and leave it here first. I'll give you definite information in about an hour. Any questions?" Yu Hong collected the suit parts and stacked them all together.

"No problem." Xu Fan nodded, not showing any violent temper. Perhaps the so-called violent temper would only erupt at certain times.

"You all know where I live. Come to my place in an hour." Yu Hong said simply.

"Row."

Soon, Yu Hong separated from a few others and returned to the cave safe house with their equipment.

While he was holding it, he began to silently ask in his mind how long it would take to strengthen the black seal.

The black seal cannot repair items that are not reinforced and synthesized by itself, but Yu Hong can take advantage of it and perform a slight amount of reinforcement and synthesis on an item. In this way, he can use the automatic repair function after reinforcement to achieve his goal.

Next time you need to repair it, you can directly use the black seal to restore it.

In his plan, this ability is an important guarantee for supporting himself in this world.

With the ability to repair high-level equipment, he can easily trade for a wealth of various resource information.

And then, the only thing he lacked was, as Li Runshan said, the power to protect himself.

Bringing the Blue Whale Harness back to the cave, Yu Hong laid it flat on the ground, then went out, turned over a pile of trophies in the yard, and found a forearm-length metal machete.

Carrying the machete back to the house, he put the machete and the Blue Whale suit together, intending to use the material of the machete to integrate into the Blue Whale suit as a reinforcement material.

He had already tested it on his way back just now. If the Blue Whale Set needs only a slight enhancement, only the lowest and weakest enhancement will be chosen.

It takes a little over an hour.

At this time, additional materials were added to strengthen the facial mask as requested by Xu Fan.

He reached out and pressed on the Blue Whale Harness again.

'Strengthen the Blue Whale Suit. Direction: Strengthen the mask to the minimum extent possible.'

Soon, a black line flashed and a feedback sound was heard.

'Do you want to strengthen the Blue Whale suit?'

Yu Hong saw the countdown appearing on the surface of the suit: 2:12.

He nodded, quite accepting it.

"Although the time was short, I couldn't just show it to Xu Fan and the others. I had to let them know that I worked very hard on the restoration and that the process was complicated and troublesome. In the end, coupled with the good restoration results, people would feel that it was worth the money."

Yu Hong is well aware that many people give up the results easily when they see them. They think the process is too easy, which will instinctively lead to a sense of distrust and the illusion that they have lost out.

"Why are you charging me so much if it's so easy to fix? Are you trying to trick me?!"

What he was worried about was that Xu Fan and others would have such thoughts.

Reasonable and logical.

This is what Yu Hong is pursuing.

Soon, an hour later.

Xu Fan and Anna came to the stone courtyard in front of the cave safe house together.

The fire not far away was still burning, and it looked like it wouldn't stop any time soon.

The two stood outside the yard, looking at the lush and strange grass inside.

"There's something wrong with this place," Anna whispered. "Why does the red value data look a bit like a pyroxene mine?"

She looked somewhat doubtful, her eyes constantly scanning every corner of the yard.

But no matter how she looked, she couldn't see anything unusual here. There was nothing else except grass.

Xu Fan also discovered that when he was exposed to high-concentration pyroxene radiation in the past, his body developed a special sensitivity to the red value. As long as the red value radiation in the surrounding environment changes significantly, corresponding skin perception will occur.

For example, now, he was standing outside the yard, and he felt his hair standing on end and a chilly feeling.

"It should be arranged with pyroxene patterns or something like that, similar to the structure of the outer wall of Hope City." He guessed.

"I don't see any similar patterns." Anna shook her head. "It seems that the employer of this task is very good. This arrangement can effectively avoid the harassment of the ghost day and night. Thus, we can have a more stable living environment."

"I've never heard of Yu Hong before. If we can successfully repair it this time, we may have to deal with him for a long time in the future." Xu Fan said. After all, it is not something that ordinary people can do to repair equipment of this level.

"Yeah." Anna nodded.

The two waited for a few more minutes, and soon the wooden door of the cave opened.

A burly figure slowly walked out. He was wearing the same heavy full-body suit, but now the tiny dents and bullet marks on the suit had disappeared.

This made Xu Fan, who noticed this, feel certain and more convinced that the other party could really repair the Blue Whale Set.

The three of them soon met outside the yard. The red value in the yard was now over 100, and there was pyroxene grass everywhere, which was not suitable for conversation at all.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting. I have estimated the repair time. It will take about a week. I have some materials here. They are not original materials, but the repaired effect will be similar. It depends on whether you can accept it?" Yu Hong said seriously.

"One week!?" Xu Fan was stunned and looked down at Anna who was also stunned.

"Really? Just a week?" he repeated.

"Of course. I guarantee it will be repaired in a week!" Yu Hong said confidently.

"It can be fixed. As long as the effect is similar, I have no problem!" Xu Fan said decisively. He actually still couldn't believe it.

He went to many arsenals to inquire, and except for the ones in Aurora City and Silver Tower which required two weeks, the rest would take at least three months.

If the damage to the mask hadn't affected actual combat so much, he would have wanted to just use it most of the time.

"The time is short because I don't have any irrelevant matters like procedures or formalities here. I put all my energy into helping you repair it, so it's fast." As soon as Yu Hong saw the performance of the two, he immediately realized that he had shortened the time and immediately added explanation.

"I understand." Anna continued, "Okay, we'll come back in a week to pick it up. Now that this mission is over, you can give yourself a few days off."

"Okay." Yu Hong nodded. "By the way, have you ever thought about finding a place to settle down?"

He felt that the two men were very powerful and gave him a sense of security, so he decided to test their attitude.

According to Li Runshan, these two people are now mercenaries who live in one place for a period of time and move around constantly by car.

"I have thought about it, but these days, the more people there are, the safer it is temporarily, but it will also attract more bloody shadows. There will be too many troubles." Anna said helplessly. She looked at Yu Hong in front of her and suddenly smiled.

"Here's a suggestion. If you want to hire a long-term bodyguard, it's best to first ensure that they can provide a stable source of water, food, and rest. Once these basic conditions are met, there will naturally be someone for you to choose from."

Obviously she saw what Yu Hong was thinking.

"Good suggestion." Yu Hong nodded and accepted the other party's reminder.

That's true. He can't even provide a stable source of water now. Why would such a strong and skilled player give up the Hope City that has everything and come live next to him?
People who live in the city have food and drink and can sleep safely. They can also have fun, drink some wine and get some special services. It's much happier than being in the wilderness where they can't even take a shower.

Soon, the two parties agreed on a time and place. Yu Hong gave a pyroxene leaf as a token of trust to the other party, saying that if he could not come in person, he could take this leaf and ask someone to pick it up for him.

Pyroxene grass can be found nowhere else. Once pulled out, it loses its vitality and the pyroxene radiation soon disappears. It is a unique token that belongs to Yu Hong alone.

Xu Fan and Anna left quickly.

Yu Hong went to see Li Runshan again.

"Thank you for your assistance this time." The two sat down on the new wooden benches in the yard.

"It's just taking money from others. If there are more such things in the future, I don't mind." Li Runshan still had that smiling face.

"Okay, I've brought the reward." Yu Hong handed over some of the silver dollars he had looted from the spoils, plus a stack of talismans he had made, to Li Runshan.

Although it was just an intermediary, if he didn't give some benefits, there would be no next time. Yu Hong still valued Li Runshan's employment channels and postal supplies.

"You're welcome, very polite." Li Runshan quickly took the things and put them into the house. When he came out again, his expression became softer.

"The mission is accomplished, but in order to avoid similar incidents from happening again, I do plan to hire good people to protect me for a long time." Yu Hong said simply, "But you know the objective conditions in our place, Lao Li, so we have to solve the water, electricity and food problems first. Only then can we attract people to stay here permanently, otherwise they will definitely choose Hope City, which has much better conditions. Don't you agree?"

"That's right." Li Runshan nodded. In his opinion, Yu Hong, this young man, had no common sense at the beginning, but now he has gradually become more knowledgeable.

"So, I want to ask, is there any way the post office can solve the water supply problem? I planned to dig a well before, but found that when I dug to a certain depth, it was full of black bugs," Yu Hong sighed.

"Groundwater definitely won't work." Li Runshan smiled and shook his head. He stretched his hands back and a small hand quickly handed him a cigarette and lit it for him.

Then he withdrew his hand, put the cigarette in his mouth and took a deep puff.

"A lot of Hope City is built along rivers and oceans. Your only solution is to move to a place closer to a river for easy access to water. But you also have to be careful. Streams and rivers are not safe places. There are blood tide black worms on the ground, and there are equally or even more dangerous things in the river."

“.” Yu Hong nodded silently.

Rainwater is poisonous and needs to be filtered multiple times and boiled before consumption, and it is not stable enough.

Now it seemed that the only hope was the river and stream. But he was unwilling to give up the cave safe house that had been reinforced with so many things.
