Desperate Night.

Chapter 90 090 Test

In the cave safe house.

Wei Shanshan carefully pulled up her pants, looked around, and shyly pushed some soil down with her feet to cover the excrement in the pit.

Sighing, she returned to the cabin and looked at her mother who was lying on her side resting. She felt much calmer than before.

"Mom, that protein bar is amazing. I ate one and I'm not hungry anymore."

"." Qiu Yanxi turned her head and looked at Wei Shanshan with a strange look. She was lying on the smelly quilt, looking up at her daughter from below. This posture and eyes made Wei Shanshan suddenly feel a little strange.

"What's wrong?" Wei Shanshan asked softly.

"Shanshan, tell me the truth, did you sleep with that guy named Yu?" There was a trace of pain in Qiu Yanxi's eyes, but she still tried to keep her tone calm.

"Don't be afraid, just sleep. At times like this, your father and I protected you too well before. This kind of thing is actually not a big deal. Don't take it too seriously."

She recalled what she had seen before. When she was fleeing from the academy, she met a wealthy family on the way. The daughter of the family, who was originally treated as a young lady, exchanged her body for some food for her father, but was beaten, scolded and humiliated. In the end, the daughter jumped from a high place crying and died on the spot.

She doesn't want the same thing to happen to her daughter.

As long as people are alive, there is hope.

"No." Wei Shanshan blushed and lowered her head. "I didn't like her, but when I heard about my dad's position, I..."

She thought her mother would be relieved after hearing this, but unexpectedly, Qiu Yanxi's face became even more serious after hearing this.

"At a time like this, when there are no constraints, he can still suppress his nature and not indulge in his desires. This person... this Mr. Yu... seems to be a very self-disciplined and even scary person." Qiu Yanxi said in a deep voice.

"Mom, why are you worried? Isn't it better this way? The more powerful Mr. Yu is, the safer we will be." Wei Shanshan didn't understand.

"It would be fine if the reward your father gives can satisfy him, but if not, we are worthless to him." Qiu Yanxi shook her head. "In this way, if he really has feelings for you, I will feel more at ease."

"Mom, what are you talking about?!" Wei Shanshan was suddenly confused.

"Let's not talk about this. Let me ask you, did you see those glowing grasses in the yard last night? They actually acted like sunlight, preventing the blood tide outside from coming in. Moreover, we have been here for so long, have you heard any deception from the ghost shadows? They didn't make any sound at all, right? Right?" After taking the medicine, Qiu Yanxi's mental and physical strength recovered a lot, and his thoughts became clearer.

"Do you understand what this means?" She looked at her daughter with a strange expression.

"Well, if Dad can get some samples of these grasses, maybe he can find out something." Wei Shanshan nodded. She also understood the value of them.

"This Mr. Yu is no simple matter. He can survive in such an environment in the wild, live a life without worries about food and clothing, and ensure his own safety. He must have a hidden secret card. The reason behind those glowing grasses that avoid the blood tide should be his reliance." Qiu Yanxi said in a low voice.

"But what does this have to do with us?" Wei Shanshan asked doubtfully. "Can't we just wait for the support team to arrive?"

"Silly daughter, do you really think that we will be completely safe once we get to your father's place?" Qiu Yanxi smiled bitterly and rubbed her daughter's face. "Your father is only the deputy director in charge of a city research institute, and he is one of three deputy directors. His authority and status are not even equal to that of a director or even higher. But if we can get Mr. Yu's secret of circumventing the blood tide and give it to your father to expand research, then..."

"We can continue to trade with Mr. Yu and see if he is willing to change." Wei Shanshan's face brightened when she heard this.

"What do we have that he wants? Your father sounds like a deputy director, but in fact he has no resources or authority. The intelligence he provided before was all the remote support he could provide." Qiu Yanxi shook her head.

"Then what should we do?" Wei Shanshan also became distressed. She just saw a glimpse of hope, but suddenly she didn't know how to get it. This feeling made her very uncomfortable.

"Let's observe first, there's no rush. I'll think of a solution." A sharp look flashed in Qiu Yanxi's eyes.

"Try to ask his wishes first. If that doesn't work, think of other ways."

Click, click.

At this time, there were sounds of footsteps trampling dead leaves outside.

The footsteps were heavy and powerful, clearly revealing Yu Hong's marching style.

With a creak, the wooden door of the courtyard wall was opened, and Yu Hong walked in with a stick in his hand.

When he passed by the wooden house, he glanced at the wooden door. Through the gap he saw that the mother and daughter were still inside. He then walked to the entrance of the cave with confidence and was about to open the door.

"Mr. Yu, please wait, I have something to communicate with you." Qiu Yanxi's voice came from behind.

The voice was very sincere. After the wooden door opened, the woman, supported by her daughter, stood at the door and looked over here.

Yu Hong turned around and looked at the other person again.

This woman, who was in her late thirties or even early forties, had taken good care of herself. After some grooming, she actually looked like she was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight. Standing next to her daughter, they looked like sisters.

Especially her figure, which is much hotter than her daughter Wei Shanshan's, with a curvy figure that even sportswear can't cover.

"Is there something wrong?" Yu Hong retracted his gaze and said calmly.

"That's right. I want to ask, how do you avoid the bloody bugs outside in your yard? Can you trade this method to us?" Qiu Yanxi asked sincerely. "The situation outside is getting worse and worse, and the output of the Sunshine Series materials is extremely low. If there is an additional second method to replace it, I don't know how many people can be saved. Your momentary kindness may change the lives of countless people."

"What can you give me in exchange?" Yu Hong asked directly, "I can share this method, but what is the reward?"

He could indeed share the pyroxene grass to curb the increasingly severe situation outside.

But he personally felt that it was of little use, because the pyroxene grass was too easy to be damaged. Without the internal energy to accelerate its growth, it was wiped out in a few seconds.

An evil shadow had arrived before and completely destroyed 90% of it, leaving only a few seedlings on the periphery, which had only recovered with great difficulty.

In other words, this thing has an upper limit. Once it exceeds the upper limit, it cannot be recovered and will be destroyed instantly. It has a huge flaw.

"Remuneration. We can use supplies as compensation. When the support team arrives, we will pay. In addition, you can also go to Hope City with us. After entering the city, we can arrange a good job for you." Qiu Yanxi said sincerely. "Supplies." Yu Hong did not comment. "Let's talk about it later. The problem now is not that there is not enough sunlight material, but that the black disaster cannot be completely eliminated. It will recover quickly after being dispersed. In this case, no matter how many substitutes for sunlight materials there are, they will not be of much use."

"Mr. Yu can talk to my husband. He is also engaged in scientific research in this field. We will definitely have a lot in common. When the time comes, he will join the research institute, and the salary will be much better than that of ordinary people. It is better than suffering alone in this wilderness." Qiu Yanxi persuaded.

"Let's talk about it after the support team arrives. You can't make any promises right now." Yu Hong interrupted her rudely, turned around, opened the door and went in.

Qiu Yanxi watched the heavy wooden door close helplessly and patted her daughter's arm.

"This guy is definitely a powerful person. His suit seems to be the same as the gray lizard suit on the market, but the style is much thicker and more high-end. In addition, he can take out special anti-inflammatory drugs and protein bars. If he can protect us all the way back, our safety will definitely be very good."

"Then mom, what should we do next?" Wei Shanshan asked naively.

"No rush, there is still time, think about it first." Qiu Yanxi shook her head.

Bang.

The wooden door is locked.

Yu Hong quickly took off his suit and breathed in some fresh air. Then he sat on a wooden stool and took out the new rune he had just copied.

The vortex rune was only the size of an egg, but he certainly didn't have the ability to copy it so finely. The rune he copied was as big as a grapefruit.

Yu Hong moved the things on the wooden table, placed the copied paper flat on the table, and then copied it a second time with charcoal pencil.

After copying and looking at the communicator which was still being strengthened, he simply fell asleep to replenish his energy.

When I woke up, it was already getting dark outside and the communicator had been strengthened.

Yu Hong sat up, took the second copy of the talisman, then reached out and pressed it, reciting silently.

'Strengthen the rune array, direction: dispel the ghostly shadows.'

He randomly chose a direction, and then watched the black seal flow out with black lines and merge into the rune.

'Incompleteness.'

really.

A smile appeared on Yu Hong's face.

This was his purpose. To use the black seal to indirectly determine what this rune was used for.

'The basic conditions for strengthening the black seal are that the most basic components must be met. If you take a random stone and want to strengthen it into a large pyroxene, it is impossible. Because ordinary stones do not have the function of dispelling ghost shadows.'

"The effect of the black seal is to strengthen, evolve, and upgrade. It is a synthesis. But it is not something created out of nothing without a foundation."

Yu Hong has been using the Black Seal for such a long time that he has already had a deep understanding of it.

'That is to say, as long as I keep trying to strengthen the function, if it is rejected, it means it is not the function, and I will change it immediately until the black seal recognizes it and can strengthen it.'

'The function that can be strengthened in the end must be the true function of this vortex rune!'

Looking at the strange runes in front of him, he continued to silently recite the strengthening.

'Strengthen rune, direction: positioning, perception.'

Black line flowing out.

'Incompleteness.'

'Strengthen the rune, direction: attack, damage.'

'Incompleteness.'

Repeated attempts, repeated feedback, but always incomplete.

Yu Hong kept trying with great patience.

Time passed slowly, and gradually, he tried almost every direction he could think of.

What is available is still not complete enough.

This made his brows gradually frown.

"Is this rune really useless?" he wondered.

"It's okay, there is another way."

In addition to strengthening, the black seal also has a synthesis function.

Yu Hong picked up the white paper, placed it on a piece of ordinary pyroxene with runes, then reached out and pressed it, reciting silently.

Directly combine this rune with other things to obtain the synthesized item, compare the differences before and after, and you can also determine the approximate effect of this rune.

It’s just that this process is slower and not necessarily complete.
