Desperate Night.

Chapter 89 089 Test
"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?!" Li Runshan's face changed, and he even put aside the matter of asking Yu Hong for help just now. He opened his eyes wide, stared at him and asked again.

"You have your own detector, so you can take it out and test it and you will know." Yu Hong nodded.

"Damn!" Without saying a word, Li Runshan took out a detector, opened the door and rushed out, without paying any attention to the people in the yard. Before they could react, he left the yard, ran to the woods outside and pressed the button.

Soon, his expression turned extremely grim, and he quickly returned to the yard. He ignored the others and went back to the stone house and closed the door.

"The big one is coming. This is the precursor to the full-scale outbreak of the blood tide! Yu Hong, you go back now. Ask the people outside to help. Take as many as you can, otherwise none of them will survive tonight!"

"Since I promised you, I won't go back on my word." Yu Hong nodded. He also had some ideas about how to settle these people.

"If it doesn't work, we can throw it into the mining area," he suggested.

"It's useless. The mining area is indeed safe, but it's pointless to be radiated like a fool." Li Runshan sighed.

"But I can only accommodate four or five more people at most." Yu Hong thought about it and decided to build two more wooden houses in the yard, with three people living in each. It shouldn't be a big problem. He could just transplant the pyroxene grass to a place a little outside.

But there is no need for him to take on too much, and it will not be good for him to protect too many people.

Wait for the benefits
Yu Hong narrowed his eyes.

"Tell me about the reward? I promised Wei Shanshan and her daughter that I would receive the reward. If other people want to come, they can't do it without any reason."

"What do you need? What can they give you? You can go and talk to them later." Lao Li sighed. "These people have a lot of resources behind them, but the problem now is that the environment is deteriorating. I am worried about the support team."

Yu Hong's expression also changed slightly.

"What will you do if the support team can't come?"

".At that time, we can only..." Li Runshan gritted his teeth and didn't finish his words. With limited resources, he couldn't sacrifice his and his daughter's lives to protect these strangers.

"Uncle, are we going to die?" Aisina, who had been standing quietly, suddenly asked, looking at Yu Hong with her big eyes.

"...No." Yu Hong looked at her white and tender little chubby face, stretched out his hand to pinch her cheeks, and forced a smile. "Your father is very powerful, he will protect you."

"Nana." Li Runshan gently picked her up and handed her to a pretty woman who was approaching. "Go and rest with Aunt Lin first. Dad has something to do and will come to see you later."

"Yeah." Aisina nodded obediently, curled up in the woman's arms and said nothing more.

"Okay, I'm going back. Give me the map of the ruins." Yu Hong's main purpose in coming here was to try to find out the origin of the rune and obtain more information on how to restrain the ghost shadow.

"Actually, there is no need for a map. The structure of that place is very simple. Just keep walking and going deeper inside. The overall shape is like an L-shape. You will know when you go there. But be careful, because the ruins are adjacent to the mine, there is a lot of radiation. There may be changes inside. After all, I haven't been there for a long time." Li Runshan reminded.

"it is good."

"The matter of bringing people"

"Just do the job you took on yourself." Yu Hong was too lazy to get involved.

Li Runshan had no choice but to open the door and walk out, loudly asking the group of people about their situation.

Then ask if anyone is willing to follow Yu Hong to another safe house.

But after asking several times, no one was willing to go. The crowd changed from its previous noisy state. Although they were panicked and in a state of panic, no one was willing to leave the underground air defense measures of the post office and go to a safe house where they had no idea how safe it was.

creak.

Yu Hong pushed the door open and whispered to Lao Li to agree on a fixed time to turn on the communicator, then looked at the group of men and women in the yard.

No one paid any attention to him.

Apparently everyone trusts the title of post office postman more.

The two officers who looked like leaders also tried to approach Lao Li and discuss getting some warm clothing, and arranged for important people in their team to live in the underground facilities first.

Li Runshan came out and argued with the two of them, while at the same time taking out a pen and paper and starting to record something.

Yu Hong was sure that no one was willing to follow him, so he shrugged at Lao Li, meaning that it was not that he didn't want to help, but that other people didn't want his help at all.

Immediately, he turned around and headed back to his residence.

After returning to the cave and tidying up a bit, Yu Hong took his equipment, weapons, protein bars and water bag and quickly headed towards the mining area.

It was still early, but he didn't know how big the interior of the ruins was, so he had to leave time in advance and prepare.

We walked along the forest path, through the scorched woodland, and over small hills for more than half an hour.

In front of a gray-white stone wall that was more than ten stories high, Yu Hong, wearing a reinforced gray lizard suit, holding a mace and a giant wooden shield, stood quietly in the middle of the stone wall.

In the middle of the stone wall, there is a narrow crack that is more than two people tall.

The crack was dark and deep, like a flash of lightning in a picture, and a tiny stream of water was slowly flowing out of it on the ground.

Yu Hong was standing in front of this crack.

He lowered his head and looked at the direction of the stream, and found that the stream did not flow far out of the crack, then flowed into the cracks between the rocks and disappeared.

The water was surrounded by lush green vines. Even though the temperature was starting to get colder, there was still green weeds growing here.

Yu Hong squatted down, gently pinched a little bit of the grass tip, put it in front of his eyes to check, and confirmed that it was tender grass.

Then he put his hand into the stream again to feel the temperature.

It's warm, much warmer than outside.

After a pause, Yu Hong took out a cold light tube, held it in his hand, raised it high to illuminate, and then walked in quickly.

The change in environment made him more interested in this relic. Now that he had failed to find the method, he planned to come to the relic where the rune was first discovered to see if he could find any other clues.

He had a feeling that as the environment deteriorated, if he didn't come to explore, it would be too late to go out later. It might even be more dangerous.

'Search quickly and come back.' Before entering the crack, Yu Hong set himself this goal.

Wow.

Following the crack in, the room became wider and the temperature became colder. Yu Hong was wearing a black bulletproof suit, which blended perfectly with the environment, but the faint white air that blew out from time to time when he opened his mouth was a bit out of place.

Inside the crack, there were many footprints and small pits on the ground. It was obvious that many people had come in and out, and there were also traces of heavy objects being dragged on the ground.

He carefully illuminated his surroundings and found some depressions similar to decorative platforms on the stone surfaces on both sides.

These hollows were empty, and most of them had traces of things being placed inside.

"It looks like they've all been emptied." Yu Hong took out the enhanced detector and pressed the switch.

beep.

The surrounding red value is displayed on the LCD screen: 37.122.
“I’m already over thirty.” Yu Hong’s heart sank, and he tightened his grip on the mace.

All the way in, the area around me became wider and wider until it stabilized at about five meters.

At this time, the height of the cave is also five meters, and the whole thing is like a semi-cylinder, extending into the mountain.

As we went deeper, slowly, some completely unfamiliar symbols and words began to appear on the stone walls on both sides.

These symbols were written in black handwriting, and under the green light they looked like claw marks left by a monster.

In addition to these, fine gravel began to appear on both sides of the stream on the ground.

Most of these stones have incomplete patterns carved on their surfaces.

They are like the pebbles on the riverbanks on both sides of the river, evenly distributed and grayish white all over.

Click.

Yu Hong bent down, clamped the atomic light stick under his armpits, and freed his hands to pick up an egg-sized stone.

The black lines on the surface of the stone looked quite familiar to him.

'Isn't this the pyroxene rune? The original, primitive version of the rune array!'

He suddenly recognized the original pattern.

Putting the stone down, he replaced it with another one and found that it was still the same rune, but the stone was broken and only a small part of the rune was left.

Yu Hong immediately picked them up one by one and examined them, and found that they all had the same runes.

He stood up, exhaled, and suddenly a stream of white smoke appeared in the air.

Then Zhaoming looked at the murals on both sides, on which was painted a black article with completely unrecognizable characters.

Both sides have the same character articles.

He looked for a while, completely confused, and continued walking inside.

Not long after.

The cave reached its end.

A tall black stone wall completely blocked Yu Hong's way forward.

There are many densely packed holes on the cave walls on both sides of the stone wall, and tiny water lines flow silently through the holes.

All the water lines converged on the ground and turned into a small stream, winding out of the cave.

Standing in front of the black stone wall at the end, Yu Hong held up an atomic lamp, using green light to illuminate the five-meter-high and wide rock.

On the stone wall, a huge round arch door was clearly drawn in gray handwriting.

This painted door is densely engraved with many unfamiliar symbols and words.

Yu Hong quickly found several symbols used in pyroxene runes among these symbolic characters.

He suddenly perked up, put down the stick, took out a pen and paper from his pocket, and carefully wrote down all the symbols that appeared on the door.

Including the symbols on the murals on both sides when he walked in from outside, excluding a lot of repetitions, he copied a total of seven.

But after copying repeatedly, Yu Hong vaguely discovered that these seven symbols not only formed a pyroxene rune, but also formed another more complex large symbol on the mural gate at the end.

This large symbol frequently appears in the area above the gate of the mural. Its strokes are sharp and powerful, and no one knows what its function is.

After Yu Hong finished copying, he always felt that this big symbol was a bit strange.

At first glance, it looked like a moving vortex, but upon closer inspection, it was discovered that what I had just seen was just an optical illusion.

'Why didn't the explorers outside study this symbol? Instead, they only found the pyroxene rune?'

He doesn't understand.

After completing the transcription, he searched the surrounding corners for a long time, making sure that there were no other discoveries and that all the original furnishings had long been dragged away. Only then did he reluctantly leave the ruins cave.

It was slow when he went in, but he came out much faster. It only took a few minutes for Yu Hong to stand at the entrance of the cave again.

"The rune on the pyroxene is called the amplification rune. This newly discovered rune symbol is temporarily called the vortex rune. I hope there will be new discoveries."

Feeling somewhat disappointed, he looked back at the ruins cave.

"Did the first black disaster really come from a place like this?"

He thought back to the mural door at the end that he had just seen. The characters carved on the door, apart from long sections of unfamiliar text, were the pyroxene amplification runes and the vortex runes that he had just discovered.

However, some of the runes on the stone walls were stretched and deformed, some were shrunk, some were square, and some looked like dough being flattened.

With doubts in his mind, Yu Hong quickly returned to his residence.

He planned to use the black seal to quickly study the function of the vortex rune.
