Desperate Night.

Chapter 72 072 Night Rain (Thanks to Qin Shi Ming Yue ゞ Alliance Leader)

"Yu Hong, why are you still asleep?"

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in Yu Hong's ears.

Under the light, he was startled and quickly looked around, and found that he was still alone in the cave. There was no living person outside the door, and no strange shadows.

"Who is it?" He crawled out of the sleeping bag, quickly and vigilantly grabbed a silver talisman, and looked around.

"How come you've been sleeping for so long and still haven't woken up? Didn't we talk about team building before? But then everyone found you sleeping alone at home and unable to wake up, so they sent you to the hospital together. You've been lying in bed for two days now. Fortunately, you've moved, otherwise the hospital would have to call in an expert for a consultation. Your case is a rare case." The voice continued.

"." Yu Hong began to carefully check everything in the cave, trying to determine the source of the sound.

But to his disappointment, there was nothing around.

And the sound gradually became weaker and farther away, as if the radio signal was bad.

"Chen Huiru? Are you Chen Huiru?" He remembered the other person's voice. She was the female colleague with whom he had the best relationship in the company.

"Yeah, how come it's just two days and you seem to not recognize me. Can you see it? Can you see me?" the other party continued.

Then there was the sound of a slight breeze caused by a waving hand.

"Did you see my hand?" Chen Huiru said.

"It seems that I have been lying down for too long. How could this disease affect my eyesight?" Chen Huiru asked in confusion, with a hint of worry in her words.

"Don't worry. The company will reimburse less than 80 percent of the expenses. This rare disease is taken seriously by the hospital's expert team, and they are actively consulting and discussing specific treatment plans." Another colleague's male voice rang out.

"Can't you see at all? This is a bit troublesome." A third voice sounded not far away.

"Everyone, just put the gifts on the floor beside the bed. We're going to examine you soon. The patient needs quiet. The visiting time is over." An impatient female voice sounded, and it seemed to be a nurse.

"Nurse, can you ask how my friend is doing now?" Chen Huiru asked.

"It's okay, but you have to be careful in the future. When patients dream, they often see doctors and nurses as monsters or something, and they may even sleepwalk and hit people, so you have to pay attention to safety." The nurse replied impatiently.

Yu Hong stood in the safe house, listening to the sound echoing in his ears, his face expressionless.

He poured a glass of water, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, intending to see what the sound would do.

"The patient is immersed in his own imaginary world and has refused to return to reality. If you visit him every once in a while, it will help him return to normal." The nurse's voice continued to ring in my ears, sometimes far away and sometimes near.

"Well, we understand."

"Come and see him when you have time."

"Alas, so young. Xiao Yu is really..."

Then came the sound of a group of colleagues opening the door and leaving.

Yu Hong walked to the door and looked at the heavy rain still falling outside, feeling inexplicably confused.

"Just now, was that Yu Ren?" he wondered in his heart. "Or was it that I was really just dreaming in a coma? Was everything I saw before me just my imagination?"

Reaching out his hand, he gently touched the wooden door in front of him.

The rough texture of the door panel and the cold and hard feedback made him truly feel the reality of the world.

He withdrew his hand and started to make a fire and cook food.

The bright flames kept dancing, releasing warm heat waves that baked the entire cave.

As Yu Hong was adding more firewood, his hands suddenly ran out of firewood and he was unable to grab new firewood.

He turned his head and saw that the place where the firewood was piled was empty.

"There's no more dry wood," he sighed.

"Yes, there is no firewood." Chen Huiru's voice sounded in his ears.

"." Yu Hong was stunned and looked around quickly, but still couldn't see anything. He was still alone in the cave.

"He's talking in his sleep again." Another nurse's voice sounded. "The doctor said that in cases like his, the only way to regain consciousness is to completely break free from the dream."

"How to break free? Sometimes I think it's quite funny to see him like this, but after seeing it too much I feel that he is quite pitiful." Chen Huiru's voice came.

"He will undergo a craniotomy in a few days. The examination report this morning confirmed that he was affected by a special tumor in his brain, which is why he has been sleeping for a long time. As long as the tumor in his brain is removed, he should be able to recover soon." said the nurse.

Yu Hong had a blank expression on his face. He leaned against the side of the fireplace and listened quietly.

After a while, everything became quiet.

The voices of the nurse and Chen Huiru gradually disappeared, replaced by a slight friction sound.

It sounded like something being cut, rustling and slightly harsh.

While cutting, there was also the sound of Chen Huiru humming softly.

"I'm here to see you again. This time I'm going to peel some fruit for you. You're going to have surgery soon. I don't know if it's dangerous or not, but you must cooperate with the treatment and try to get better soon."

"."

Hearing the sound, Yu Hongduan opened the cooked food and picked up a red value detector again.

There were a few of these things among the spoils captured previously, and they are all in his hands.

The red value is still the same, quite quiet and stable.

He put down the detector, stood up, walked to the door and opened the viewing window.

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

He stood quietly at the door, motionless, looking out the window, looking at the heavy rain.

Post Office, in the basement of the stone house.

Li Runshan was holding his daughter Aisina and reading a book in one of the bright bedrooms.

"Dad, I seemed to hear Uncle Yu Hong knocking on the door just now." Aisina suddenly turned her head and asked.

"It has nothing to do with us. You heard it wrong." Li Runshan replied with a smile.

"But I really heard it!" Eisina emphasized.

"Even if we hear it, we can't reply. Now the language people have suddenly polluted our place. We can't respond to any sound. If we respond, we will be infected." Li Runshan sighed, "The evil shadow of the language people is usually impossible to detect the red value changes. It will accumulate and create a vision that people want to realize the most, making people think that everything in front of them is false. As long as they leave here, everything will return to normal."

"Isn't that terrifying?" Eisenna shrank back in fear.

"I was planning to leave a note for Xiao Yu, but..." Li Runshan shook his head, and his pupils shrank as he recalled what he had just seen. More than ten minutes ago.

pat.

Outside the stone house of the post office, Li Runshan heard shouting outside, so he quickly went up to the ground, looked out through the window, crumpled up the written note, opened the window and threw it out with force.

The paper ball hit Yu Hong outside the yard.

But what surprised Li Runshan was that Yu Hong had no expression on his face, as if he didn't notice the paper ball thrown at him at all, but continued to shout at the stone house.

"Is anyone there? Open the door."

"Is anyone there? Open the door."

Yu Hong stood outside the yard, repeating this sentence over and over again and knocking on the door.

He stood straight, and strangely enough, he didn't have his most commonly used mace in his hand.

Seeing this scene, Li Runshan's heart trembled, and the voice that was about to respond was stuck in his throat.

The detailed information provided by Yu Ren instantly came to his mind, and his heart went cold.

Looking at Yu Hong who was knocking on the door mechanically outside the yard, he didn't dare to say a word. He quickly closed the window and returned to the basement.

Yu Hong knocked on the door for a while and shouted but no one answered. He then turned around woodenly and went back where he came from.

The ball of paper that reminded him was right in front of him on the grass, but even though it was extremely eye-catching white, he ignored it and turned away.

"Then Dad, if we are infected by the evil shadow like Yu Ren, how should we deal with it?" Aisina's voice brought Li Runshan back from his memories.

He came back to his senses, let out a long sigh, and looked around at the quiet bedrooms in the basement, his gaze finally falling on his beloved daughter.

"The way the Whisperers are infected is very troublesome. As long as you hear a sound and respond, you will be infected. And the infection will not be dangerous at the beginning. At most, you will hear a different sound. But as time goes by, the Whisperers will become more and more dangerous and more and more unstable.

It wasn’t until 12 hours later that it finally broke out.”

He paused.

"And the only way to fight it is to prepare enough pyroxene at the moment it erupts completely."

"How much will it take?" Eisina asked hurriedly.

"I don't know." Li Runshan shook his head, "But the red value must be at least negative 2,000, which means at least 20 to 30 pieces of pyroxene."

"Then Uncle Yu Hong should be fine. He deals in pyroxene, so it will definitely be enough." Aisina breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Runshan did not respond.

Just the scene of seeing Yu Hong at that time flashed through my mind.

"According to estimates, if he had just been infected when we saw him, then now, it should be almost time."

Thinking of this, a trace of worry flashed across his brows. He had invested so much in Yu Hong, if that guy died, it would be a big loss.

Inside the cave safe house.

Yu Hong looked at the heavy rain outside, suddenly let out a long breath, and was about to turn around to rest.

boom.

Suddenly, a burst of gunfire was heard in the heavy rain outside.

"Run!!!" A very familiar female voice sounded after the gunshot.

This was followed by the sound of hurried footsteps and heavy breathing.

Yu Hong shuddered all over, and went to the viewing window again and looked out.

But it was raining so hard that I couldn't see anything.

Boom!

Soon two more gunshots were heard.

"Yiyi!" A second familiar female voice sounded. "Run! I'll lead him away!"

"No, no!" A stuttering voice followed.

When Yu Hong heard this, he couldn't hold back any longer. He turned around and quickly changed into a lighter enhanced gray lizard suit, picked up his mace, opened the door and rushed out.

Click.

Lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating everything in pale white.

Yu Hong ran towards the direction of the sound, crossed the yard and rushed into the rain.

Tap, tap, accompanied by heavy footsteps, clear footprints appeared on the ground.

Just as he rushed out of the yard, he suddenly stopped and looked quickly forward.

"Something's wrong."

Ahead, all he saw was heavy rain and trees swaying in the wind.

In the gloomy early morning woods, there was no one except himself.

"Shouldn't the stutterer be far away in Hope City? How come he suddenly appears here?"

Thinking of this, he felt something was wrong, his internal energy exploded instantly, he turned around and rushed back to the yard in an instant.

The pyroxene grass covering the ground in the yard gave him a sufficient sense of security.

Back in the yard, he decided not to go out anymore and headed straight back to the cave.

Just as he opened the door and entered the house, he heard a dull sound behind him.

Bang! !

"Yiyi!" Doctor Xu's cry rang out again.

"Your legs, what's wrong with your legs!?" she cried.

Click.

Hearing the sound, the stick in Yu Hong's hand began to crackle.

He resisted the urge to rush out to check again, leaned against the wall, and took a deep breath.
