Desperate Night

Inside the stone fort under the bright white light.

The warm and clean air inside made Lin Yiyi and her group feel like they were in a dream.

Xue Ningning, An An, Ou Li, Lin Yiyi, these are the remaining people in the whole team.

Compared with before departure, there are three less. The number of people has been reduced by nearly half.

The four people stood in the warm stone fort, listening to the heavy rain outside, and fell into complete silence for a while.

"By the way, Xiaojun...!" Xue Ningning suddenly said.

"I have seen it." Yu Hong took off his suit, revealing a strong and well-proportioned body like a rock. "Killed an elephant beetle, and didn't find anyone else."

Silence.

Xue Ningning's eyes became redder. She stood by the gate, with her back against the stone wall, and clenched her fists.

It was too cruel.

She wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything.

She thought she was used to casualties and separations, but she was still very depressed when she encountered it again at this moment.

"In fact, when I went there, most of the legs and feet of the elephant beetle were blown off." Yu Hong added. "Your teammates' sacrifice was not in vain."

He looked at the four people in front of him.

Two of them were wearing suits, and two of them were only wearing breathing valves. They looked extremely embarrassed, with broken suits and wounds everywhere.

In addition, they all exuded a strong sour smell. It was obvious that they had not taken a shower for a long time. Now they were wet by the rain, and the smell was emitting.

Yu Hong ignored the others and only looked at Lin Yiyi.

"Yiyi, don't go out after you come back this time. The environment outside is no longer suitable for going out casually."

"."Lin Yiyi didn't reply, but remained silent.

"Mr. Yu, you are so strong, can you teach us?" An An beside her said. "Even Black Disaster can be defeated head-on. I have never seen an enhanced person as strong as you!"

There was expectation in her eyes, and a trace of pain and fear that could not be concealed.

"So far, I haven't found a way to teach others to be like me. I am an exception," Yu Hong said calmly. But his eyes were only on Lin Yiyi.

"Forget it, since I'm back, I'll take a good rest and adjust my condition. It's different from other places here, it's very safe."

"Thank you, Mr. Yu!" Xue Ningning calmed down and bowed her hands in a retro salute. "No matter what, we will remember your life-saving grace this time!"

"Sorry, according to the camp rules, only Yiyi is considered a formal member and can enjoy free food safety repair medicine. The rest of you can only get it by trading other things. And the residence is not here, you can only go to the secondary safety area outside the outer courtyard." Yu Hong said calmly.

"." Xue Ningning's gratitude was a little stuck on her face, but her complexion quickly recovered, "It's only natural."

"Well. You can go out." Yu Hong said lightly.

Xue Ningning was choked again, looked at the others, and turned around and left first in desperation.

An An and Ou Li followed, looked at Yiyi before leaving, walked out of the wooden door, and took it with them.

Suddenly, Yu Hong and Yiyi were the only ones left in the hall on the first floor of the stone fort.

".Are you injured anywhere?" Yu Hong asked.

"Not bad," Lin Yiyi shook her head.

"Go take a shower and have a good sleep. I'm here, it's safe here." Yu Hong emphasized safety again, his voice lowered.

"." Lin Yiyi took off the breathing valve, glanced at him, and nodded with a wooden expression.

She was quickly led by Yu Hong to the bathroom of the stone fort.

Hot water washed down, and soon a faint suppressed cry came from inside.

Yu Hong exhaled. Walked out of the stone fort and came to the fence of the outer courtyard.

Xue Ningning and the other two were already consciously building their own sheds.

Seeing him approach, Xue Ningning took the initiative to step forward.

"Our car broke down in the distance. We will go to get things when the rain is lighter. Can Mr. Yu give us a transaction list? How do we exchange clean and safe drinking water and food? And medicine, you can see that we are in a very bad state now, and we also need some dry warm quilts and the like."

She looked haggard, and she forced herself to communicate with Yu Hong.

"Draw the black disasters you encountered along the way and the black disaster fissure routes you explored on the map. I can provide free clean hot water. For Yiyi's sake, there is no need to worry about safety nearby. I allow you to stay." Yu Hong is no longer the same as before.

The hot water is because the cooling water of the nuclear power plant comes out hot, and the hot and cold are just a matter of his words. It's not a big deal.

"Thank you, Mr. Yu." Xue Ningning nodded and thanked him solemnly.

No matter what, even if the other party rescued people for Yiyi before, they were saved after all. This affection must be recognized.

Now these rules are also reasonable.

After arranging these, Yu Hong pulled a long water pipe over, connected the hot water and left it alone.

He returned to the cave, brought some nutrition and medicine to Yiyi, told her how to use it, and then returned to the cave to rest.

On Xue Ningning's side, the three of them entered the tent, and Ou Li couldn't help squatting and crying.

"I thought I was dead. Why do I have to live like this? Why?" She was a little emotionally broken and trembling. The fall and the pursuit by the black disaster just now made her feel scared when she recalled it at this moment.

"Xiaojun is dead, Xiaoji is dead, and Asheng is dead." Xue Ningning whispered, "If it weren't for Mr. Yu Hong's help, we would all die. This is the way of the world."

The three of them stopped talking, and for a while, only Ou Li's suppressed crying continued to sound.

After crying for a while, An An spoke again.

"Mr. Yu Hong's power can even destroy black disasters. It is simply terrifying. This is obviously far beyond the scope of enhanced humans. If you can stay here in the camp, your safety may be greatly guaranteed."

"You want to stay?" Xue Ningning looked at her.

"No, I mean Captain Xue, you and Ou Li, there is no need for you to follow me and Yiyi to investigate. We are investigating the whereabouts of our relatives, and you don't need to." An An looked calm.

"Are you still planning to go!?" Xue Ningning was stunned.

"A long time ago, I didn't care whether I died or not. Living in this world, like this, even if a person lives alone, it is really meaningless." An An continued, "I believe my dad will not be so easy. Die, so I will find him! Yiyi must be the same as me."

"What if I can't find it?"

"Then keep looking, or you may die on the road." An An replied, "That's why we are different from you, Captain Xue."

Xue Ningning fell silent. She could faintly detect a self-destructive tendency in An An's words.

"Find a way to stay and join the camp. Mr. Yu Hong's strength is incomprehensible. But in this environment, strength is the guarantee of safety." An An said softly.

She now thinks back to the exaggerated explosive power and destructive power when Yu Hong defeated the two black disasters. No matter how many times she thinks about it, she is shocked.

A night of silence.

It was dawn the next day. After a night's rest, Xue Ningning and the four of them hurriedly put on their dry pyroxene cloaks and headed back to the car despite the rain.

The black plague has been eliminated, and the surrounding area is generally safe. They can also deal with ordinary shadows. With the dawn, the possibility of large skin weevils appearing is greatly reduced, so this is the safest time of the day.

Although the daylight hours are now less than an hour.

Yu Hong did not help, but sent a black lizard to follow Yiyi and monitor her from a distance to ensure that she would not be in danger.

Soon after dawn, Xue Ningning and others returned to the camp, re-expanded the tent, and brought many pots and pans with them. They skillfully set up a simple small camp.

After the sky turned dark again, not long after, Xue Ningning stood by the fence with a drawn map and an intelligence writing notebook in her hand.

She didn't know how to contact Yu Hong.

This place is more than sixty meters away from the cave. The fog is diffuse and the visibility is extremely low. It is impossible to see the situation on the other side of the cave.

"Just knock on the fence from now on, I can hear it." Yu Hong's shadow appeared from the yard.

He is still wearing the same enhanced suit, but the surface has been washed clean by the rain, and it faintly reflects a bright luster under the light.

"Okay, this is what you want." Xue Ningning handed over the things in her hand, holding a big umbrella with her other hand to prevent the notebook from getting wet.

Yu Hong took the map and notebook and quickly opened them to look through.

"The map records many places we have explored along the way, as well as resource warehouses that have not yet been relocated. Among them are an instant noodle warehouse, a dry noodle warehouse, and a bacon warehouse, all of which are highlighted on it." Xue Ningning The voice spoke in front of him.

"Where's the information?" Yu Hong asked without raising his head.

"On the notebook, in addition, we found something very wrong this time when we went out." Xue Ningning said in a deep voice.

"What do you mean?" Yu Hong looked up at her.

"That's right, we discovered a situation when we had to drive for a long time at night." Xue Ningning said, her face gloomy and haggard. "On the edge of a mountainous area, we encountered a special building complex that was completely different from modern society. It might be a village or a ruins, we couldn't tell. However, the second time we passed by that place, it disappeared inexplicably. It’s nowhere to be found.”

"Are you sure the whole place disappeared?" Yu Hong asked.

Although anything can appear in the black disaster, there are still relatively few abnormalities in the entire place. So far, he has only discovered Huanfeng City, that strange city covered in huge black slime.

"Yes. We have checked repeatedly and everyone in the car has seen it. It is not an illusion." Xue Ningning nodded.

"I will pay attention." Yu Hong said solemnly. "Anything else?"

"There is also some black disaster information." Xue Ningning briefly introduced the types and mentioned that they were all recorded in the notebook.

As a deal, Yu Hong gave them some anti-inflammatory drugs and turned back to the cave.

The rain kept falling with no sign of stopping.

In the Black Wind Camp, the group finally experienced the safety and tranquility they had not experienced for a long time.

There isn't even a shadow here. At most, he could climb a tree to avoid the blood tide.

Time passed slowly as several people recovered from their injuries day by day.

Yiyi was in the camp, and it was okay to rest for two days at first. But then she couldn't rest anymore. She came out and wanted to do something, but found that she couldn't do anything. The breeding box work was too complicated for her to do, so she had to stand.

She seemed to have nothing but strength and a special physique.

So, after staying for five days, she made the decision to leave again and go to Black Tree Village.
