Desperate Night

‘At that time, I seemed to have used random strengthening by Black Seal, right? I just gave a rough direction, strengthening in the direction of firmness. ’

‘Since I have mastered the strengthening method of imagining specific outlines in my mind, the strengthening target has become more and more accurate, but the requirements for basic information have also come’

Yu Hong’s face gradually showed a look of realization.

‘It seems that the most cost-effective strengthening method is still decided by Black Seal. I only give the general direction, not the precise details and image, so that it is the best to use. ’

Understanding the key, Yu Hong reached out again, walked to the edge of the outer courtyard, and pressed on the fence. Circle the scope in your mind and add the strengthening synthesis content. Then.

‘Strengthen the camp protection system, direction: improve firmness, improve concealment, and leave a door in and out. ’

Don’t imagine the details, just put forward simple and general requirements.

So, the black line flowed out from the back of the hand and instantly sank into the fence.

Soon.

‘Do you want to strengthen the camp protection system? ’ Black Seal’s inquiry appeared.

Yu Hong let out a long sigh and looked at the dark red countdown numbers that appeared on the surface of the fence.

It showed: 18:07 on the 31st.

".One month!?" Yu Hong's face froze.

He did not release his right hand on the fence, looking at the exaggerated countdown, his lips pursed tightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.

'Even when the inner courtyard wall was strengthened, it was not so exaggerated. But, the longer the time, the better the strengthening effect'

He hesitated

His eyes looked outside the fence at this time.

Outside, a dragon lizard happened to crawl through the woods, patrolling far away, making a slight rustling sound.

The black fog around the dragon lizard rolled, swallowing the faint white light shining out of the camp.

The only lighting lamp seemed to be the only hope to drive away the surrounding darkness.

'If the strengthened protection system can really guarantee basic safety, then'

He considered the current state of the camp, and there was nothing that needed to be strengthened urgently for the time being.

The effect of radiation weapons has gradually diminished for him. The power of internal energy has gradually begun to manifest, especially when the internal energy explodes and burns. The two internal energies explode together and enter a burning state, which is very powerful. It can strongly protect the body from harm, increase the hardness and toughness of the skin, flesh and bones, and can also cause damage to the black disaster.

The rest of the stored food and water are also in large quantities, enough for him to eat for several months.

"Dry it!"

Thinking of this, Yu Hong immediately responded to the question of the black seal in his heart.

'Yes! '

Swish!

In an instant, a very fast blur covered the entire outer courtyard fence for a moment.

Then, the countdown in front of Yu Hong began to flicker slightly, which meant that the strengthening officially began.

Huh!

He let out a long breath and stood up.

The black wet mud covered his boots with mud, and there was a sound of mud.

He looked at the disappearing black mud and purple-black bones, turned around and carried the wooden barrel back to the stone fort.

The humming air purifier was still working hard in the corridor.

Yu Hong entered the passage, closed the door with his backhand, locked it, and walked towards the cave on the right.

When he reached the entrance of the cave, he turned his head and looked at the passage leading to the stone fort behind him.

In the gray-white passage, the electric lights on the wall still released white light steadily.

But this light now revealed a faint sense of emptiness.

This stone passage, which is less than ten meters long, inexplicably gives people a deep sense of loneliness.

‘By the way, how long has Lao Zhou not been back?’ Yu Hong suddenly thought of this.

‘It feels like a long time has passed.’

He was a little distracted, turned his head and pushed open the cave door and walked in.

Bang.

The heavy door was closed heavily, and only the dense air vents below could see the faint light shaking inside.

Time passed day by day.

The Black Wind Camp did not change at all, standing quietly in the increasingly cold mountain forest.

Rain and moisture condensed into frost, gradually covering the surrounding mountains and forests, and also climbed up every inch of the camp's surface, dyeing it completely gray and white.

But this color change can only be seen during the short period of black and gray every day.

Because the only daylight in a day is only a few minutes when it switches.

In a blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed.

Outside the camp, in the secondary safety zone.

A burly human figure in black stood quietly on the ground.

With a whoosh, a translucent white flame ignited on the human figure, and the body expanded slightly. The right leg suddenly raised and kicked up.

Swish!

A sharp sound of breaking through the air exploded.

The human figure did not stop, and the right leg chopped down, swept horizontally, and swept sideways in a series of air sweeps. Knee strikes in the air, kicks sideways, and slams down.

All kinds of dazzling leg moves were displayed by him at a rapid speed.

Accompanied by the afterimage left by the white flame, each of his moves was fast, but it was clearly visible.

Because the flame afterimages left by the moves were layered, the whole process of the moves was fully displayed.

Not long after, the humanoid made a final sweep and landed on the ground, completely motionless.

"Just a little bit left, the sixth level" the humanoid pulled off the blindfold, revealing Yu Hong's somewhat tired eyes.

He took out the atomic lamp, and the pale green light illuminated the surrounding ground.

"It's just this last bit. I always feel like there's something missing" Yu Hong turned on the lamp and slowly returned to the outer courtyard of the camp.

In the black fog behind him, dragon lizards flashed by, left the vicinity, and went to other places for inspection.

Yu Hong didn't pay attention. He pushed open the entrance to the fence and entered the outer courtyard. His boots stepped on the ground, making a crackling sound of ice shards cracking.

"The weather is getting colder." He looked up at the sky.

The night sky was pitch black, like a large puddle of ink.

No stars, no moon, just black. Endless and profound.

Yu Hong withdrew his gaze and came to the inner courtyard. There were some strange objects of different sizes piled on the ground in the courtyard.

Some of these items are black soil, some are ruby-like irregular minerals, there are also gray-white bones, and round glass ball-like objects.

There are more than ten pieces in total, arranged neatly from left to right.

All served in small wooden bowls.

Numbers were written in black charcoal on the side of the wooden bowl, from 1 to 14.

Yu Hong took out the detector and measured the contents of each small bowl again.

‘61.341’.

‘77.928’.

A series of numbers are continuously displayed and cleared.

His eyes did not change at all until the end of the test.

‘412.512’

This is the only one to break 100.

Yu Hong put away the detector, took out a rolled up brown book from his back pocket, opened the middle page, took out a charcoal pen and recorded it carefully.

"The experiment was recorded for a week, and the remnants in the Black Disaster did not show any change in red value as time passed."

He closed the book and whispered to himself.

"Based on the judgment of the red value of the relic itself, combined with the human implantation surgeries in Aurora City and Gray City, it can be determined that relics with a red value of less than 100 can be considered ordinary types that are safe and can be implanted into the human body."

"Those with a red value of more than 100 can be named as rare grades. They have a greater impact on the human body and are generally only used for surgery to strengthen people. This surgery has already matured before the collapse of the front line."

"The red value of the remnants themselves is not directly related to the danger level of the black disaster. High-risk black disasters may only leave ordinary-level remnants, or even more often, no remnants."

After exhaling, Yu Hong ignored the remains on the ground and turned towards the entrance of the passage.

Push open the passage door.

He quickly took off his suit, tossed it carelessly in the passage, and returned to the cave.

He entered the cave, closed the door, took off his underwear, and stood in the bathroom in the basement.

With a splash, he closed the curtain and turned on the faucet.

Warm water falls from above.

A faint pungent smell spread from the water, it was like disinfectant.

Yu Hong endured the discomfort and quickly rinsed his hair and body, then dried them and put on dry clothes.

Arriving on the first floor, he wiped his increasingly long hair with a dry towel, sat down, and turned on the communicator.

Suddenly, a slightly noisy sound came from the speakers.

"Hasn't the water problem been found yet?" Yu Hong asked after hearing that Wei Song and Zhang Kaijun were arguing.

"Three teams of people have been dispatched. We can't send any more people. The underwater black disaster, especially the underground water level, is not something we can solve now." Wei Song sounded a little angry.

"The problem will not disappear just because we evade and delay." Zhang Zhangjun was as indifferent as ever, "This problem must be solved no matter how many people die. Especially now that the temperature is getting lower and lower, and the outside air temperature has been stable below zero for a long time. There will be a big problem with drinking water if there is not enough water.”

"Can't we use ice and snow?"

"Tried, but never enough."

"What about Aurora City? Or is it just Gray City and me that have groundwater problems?" Yu Hong asked.

"There is the same problem, but it is not as serious as ours. Perhaps their underground water pumping part uses far stronger sunlight materials than ours." Zhang Zhangjun answered.

"Then why not move there and merge into the city?" Yu Hong asked, "Weisong, the situation there is not good, right?"

We got in touch with Wei Song just a few days ago. She was stable after she moved and was immediately attacked by blood tide monsters. Compared with Shadow Shadow, blood tide monsters seemed less scary, but when something went wrong, the number of these monsters But it's far more than Shadow and Evil Shadow.

What Wei Song encountered was a blood-tide creature called a rotting spider.

As for Blood Tide, the people who named it at the beginning obviously took the initiative to distinguish it from Shadow. The focus of Blood Tide is only one word, tide, a tide of monsters, endless.

The biggest problem with rot spiders is that they carry a strange germ that can cause a person to have a high fever, foam at the mouth, and become weak as long as they come into contact with them.

Wei Song didn't pay attention at first, so he suffered a big loss.

"Aurora City is also full of problems. A kind of mushroom powder called Molika is now popular in Aurora City. Smoking it will give people a strong sense of hallucination and pleasure. It has been banned repeatedly in the city." Zhang Zhangjun added, "With this kind of management ability, instead of going to the city and losing command authority and trusting your life and death to others, it is better to control yourself."

"I haven't heard of this. I have traded with Second Aurora City twice, both recently. I feel that the rift channel is becoming more and more stable. The situation has also stabilized a lot. I just don't know what the situation is like with the investigation team?" Yu Hongdao .

"It is said that the investigation team was sent to surround the Mesha family. Speaking of the investigation team, some time ago, the people from the second team met one of the Mesha family members. But the strange thing is that they were not attacked." Wei Song whispered.

"I've heard about this, too. Aurora City has a blockade of news, but their management has problems and the news has leaked out." Zhang Kaijun said, "It is said that the mutants seem to be hiding some secrets, so when they are still, the Black Disaster does not actively attack them. And similarly, the members of the Mesha family do not attack them, which seems to be a reason."

"The secret of the mutants?" Yu Hong thought of Eisena, who seemed to have something in common with Yiyi.

"Yes. According to the statistics of my expert group, all mutants are found to be late-stage mutants, not born." Zhang Kaijun replied.

Hearing this, Yu Hong's face showed a thoughtful look.

He paused for a few seconds, and then spoke again, just about to ask for details.

Beep.

Suddenly, a clear horn sounded outside the camp.

He paused, quickly stood up, and went to the door to look out.

Outside the fence of the outer courtyard, there was a large black armored vehicle, which slowly stopped and turned off its two large and bright yellow lights.
