Desperate Night.

Chapter 71 071 Night Rain (Thanks to Qin Shi Ming Yue ゞ Alliance Leader)
Inside the cave safe house.

Behind a door, Yu Hong began to listen carefully to the other party's description of the information about the speaker.

"My name is Zhou Xiaoling, and she is my sister Zhou Xiaoyin. We have only encountered a verbal confrontation once." The girl with big breasts instinctively grabbed her clothes on her chest with her hands and bit her lips lightly. It seemed that the remaining fear could still be seen in her eyes.

"We used to work in a customer service company, answering calls every day. Then when the black disaster came, we were assigned as nurses to take care of the wounded in the temporary emergency training area. But it was just a while ago."

"How long was it a while ago?" Yu Hong interrupted her suddenly.

"About two weeks ago." Zhou Xiaoling thought for a moment and answered.

"You continue." Yu Hong nodded and remembered the time.

"Two weeks ago, a special patient was sent to the medical clinic where we work." A hint of fear appeared on Zhou Xiaoling's pretty face.

She began to swallow her saliva continuously, her body gradually tensed up, and she moved forward unconsciously, as if she wanted to be closer to Yu Hong.

"That patient always likes to talk to herself for no apparent reason. There is obviously no one around, but she talks to herself naturally and one-sidedly as if she is talking to someone."

"Is there something that ordinary people can't see?" Yu Hong frowned.

"No, no." Zhou Xiaoling shook her head vigorously. "We thought so at first, but later, no matter what test we used, the red value was normal. There was no problem. Later, the person's condition became more and more serious. She began to laugh happily by herself. It was that kind of thing. Suddenly, in a very quiet environment, she suddenly started laughing. The laugh was very natural and happy!"

"Sometimes it was in the middle of the night, sometimes it was during the day. Later on, no matter what the people around us said to her, she became impatient and ignored us more and more."

When Zhou Xiaoling said this, in just a short while, her face turned frighteningly pale and tiny beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Until, until one day." She seemed to have thought of something terrible at this moment. Her whole body shuddered, and her sister behind her also turned pale. Then she quietly grabbed her hand, and the two sisters hugged each other, as if this would be safer.

"What happened?" Yu Hong looked at the silver talisman array behind the door again, confirmed that there was no problem, and continued to look at the two of them.

"That day." Zhou Xiaoling trembled even more violently. She gritted her teeth and lowered her head, as if she was extremely frightened. Her voice became quieter and quieter, and it was impossible to hear what she said next.

"What?" Yu Hong frowned and instinctively moved closer, wanting to hear more clearly.

"That day, she..." Zhou Xiaoling's face turned even paler, and she lowered her head, her body seemed to shrink, and she was trembling all over. She was still talking, describing something, but her voice was trembling with fear, and it was intermittent and difficult to hear clearly.

"Can you speak louder? I can't hear you clearly." Yu Hong frowned.

"Okay." Zhou Xiaoling nodded quickly and was about to speak again.

But at this moment, her whole body stiffened and she suddenly stood there in a daze.

Her whole body seemed to be acupunctured and she stopped trembling completely. She looked like a wax figure, staring at Yu Hong with eyes filled with horror.

No, to be exact, he was staring behind Yu Hong.

It was as if something that frightened her extremely appeared there.

Yu Hong also felt something was wrong at this time. He suddenly grabbed the mace by the door and turned around to swing it.

call!
The mace whistled in the air and missed.

After making sure that everything was fine, he quickly leaned against the door and looked back at Zhou Xiaoling.

"What do you see?"

It was quiet.

Yu Hong stood there in a daze and blinked.

Because just a moment ago, Sister Zhou Xiaoling outside the door disappeared!
'Is he hiding? ? ' He thought of this possibility.

If the other party squats and hides in a blind spot that cannot be seen by the peephole, he can indeed avoid his sight.

He immediately squatted down and knocked on the door.

dong dong.

"Zhou Xiaoling? Is she still there?"

he asks.

There was no response outside. It was empty and peaceful.

Yu Hong asked several times but got no response.

He thought for a moment, quickly put on the white bear bulletproof suit, picked up the mace, put on the silver talisman, and reached out to grab the door handle.

"Wait, what if I go out now and run into that person? What if these two are setting a trap?" He stopped and released his right hand from holding the door handle.

"Wait a little longer. If the Zhou Xiaoling sisters are just afraid and hiding, they will definitely make some noise soon. Whether they are real help seekers or a trap, I shouldn't be the one panicking."

Yu Hong leaned against the door patiently, sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Time passes little by little.

ten minutes.

half an hour.

One hour
Two hours.
There was thunder outside, and it looked like it was going to rain soon. There was still no sound of human voice outside, and the red value detector did not fluctuate.

It's almost night.

Yu Hong let out a long breath, poured himself a glass of water and drank it all in one gulp.

Then he walked behind the door again.

He put his hand on the door handle again, and this time, his eyes were much more determined.

"It's been such a long time since there was any movement, and it's almost dark, something must have happened to Sister Zhou Xiaoling. Whatever it is, it happened right in front of my door, and I have to go in and out of this place for such a long time, so I have to go out and check it out."

Click.

The door handle was slowly turned and opened.

Yu Hong held the mace in one hand and slowly pushed the door open.

There was no one outside the door, it was empty.

There is no Sister Zhou Xiaoling, and nothing else.

Yu Hong stood in front of the door and looked around, and found that the whole yard was still the same as before, with lush pyroxene grasses regaining their previous vitality.

just
He walked out the door, squatted down, and looked at the ground carefully.

There was a lot of white lime on the ground, which was a byproduct of his usual excavation work of chiseling rocks and opening stone chambers.

The stone powder clearly imprinted the broad footprints he usually left when he went in and out.

However, at this moment, what made Yu Hong frown as he squatted down was...
Why are there only his footprints on the ground at the door? ?
Where are the Zhou Xiaoling sisters? They were standing in front of the door for quite a long time.
Yu Hong's eyes darkened, and he quickly came down and walked along the stone steps to check the yard.

He quickly checked the path leading to the door of the safe house and confirmed that there were only his footprints on the road and no traces of any other people.

'If I am the only one with the mark, then where are the two people who asked for help just now? Are they really human? '

Yu Hong felt a little doubtful.

He looked around and suddenly had a bad feeling.

He went back and closed the door, then put on his pistol and tied up his dagger.

With the reinforced pistol in his hand, he felt much more secure. Then he stuffed a stack of talisman boards into his chest. The two silver talisman boards gave him more confidence.

After walking out of the cave, he left the yard and headed towards the post office.

He was going to find Li Runshan. As a postman, he might know some inside information.

puff.

puff.

puff.

Yu Hong walked quickly because it was getting dark and he had to go and come back quickly.

After a while, he arrived at the post office in just ten minutes.

The stone post office house was dark and quiet.

Thick black curtains were drawn over the windows, the doors were shut, and dangerous poisonous thorns were hung around the yard.

Li Runshan, who usually liked to play games with his daughter in the yard, was silent at this moment.

Yu Hong frowned and knocked on the wooden door of the yard.

dong dong dong.

No response.

'What's going on? ' He narrowed his eyes and knocked again.

Still no movement.

This shouldn't be the case. Logically, even if Li Runshan thought a ghost had come, he would have exchanged secret signals with him.

Why is there no response at all?

He knocked on the door again, this time Yu Hong knocked much faster.

dong dong dong.

Still no response.

After thinking for a while, he left the post office and hurried back.

He originally planned to go find Lao Zhou to ask, but time did not permit.

I looked up at the sky. It was covered with dark clouds and it got dark much earlier than usual.

Boom.

There was a loud thunder.

Tiny raindrops began to fall, hitting the grass, making a soft hissing sound.

"It will be completely dark in about half an hour." Yu Hong estimated the time and couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Living in this kind of environment, he had long learned to observe the sky to judge how quickly it would get dark.

There were no problems along the way. He returned to the yard smoothly, came to the door of the cave safe house, took out the key and opened the door.

As soon as I entered the door, the raindrops outside suddenly became heavier.

rumble.

Thunder rumbled and rain poured down, causing the pyroxene grass in the yard to tremble and droop continuously.

Yu Hong turned on the light, and the bright white light made him feel much safer.

After taking off his suit, he returned to the door and looked outside through the glass window next to the visitor window.

'Could Zhou Xiaoling and her sister be ghosts? But ghosts are usually not so natural, and it is impossible for them to talk for such a long time and so naturally. But if they are not ghosts, why didn't they leave any footprints outside?'

Yu Hong couldn't figure it out.

He wanted to ask Li Runshan for information about Yu Ren, but returned empty-handed.

His intuition told him that this person might be more troublesome and more dangerous than the withered woman before.

Looking at the heavy rain outside, he sat quietly in the safe cave, rested for a while, and then stood up to continue practicing his heavy leg skills.

The eighth root of internal energy is gradually taking shape.

According to the records of the heavy leg skill, the nine internal energies are enough to complete a comprehensive strengthening. If the strengthening is successful, you can enter the second level, which is to practice the second move, the side grab and kick.

This technique has three levels in total. It is simple, easy to learn and suitable for one's own needs.

Feeling that he was about to make a breakthrough, Yu Hong relaxed, stopped thinking about what had just happened, and focused on training.

After exercising for more than an hour, he made a fire and cooked something to eat. Late at night, after making sure there were no black bugs outside, Yu Hong finally fell down and got into his sleeping bag to rest.

"Yu Hong?"

"Yu Hong?"

late at night.

Half asleep and half awake, Yu Hong frowned and was slowly awakened by a clear shout.

He squinted his eyes in confusion and saw the white rune patterns on the top of the cave.

The gray stone walls, the white array patterns, the rough rock texture, everything is the same as before.

The air was filled with a mixture of mushrooms, jerky, protein bar soup, and musty smells.
