Desperate Night

Thinking of this, Yu Hong's determination became more firm, and his consciousness moved again.

'Reinforce the camp, direction: merge the wooden bridge pier and the black ship, and obtain the same movement method. '

Swish!

This time, the black mark on the back of his hand rushed out of the black line and sank into the ground in the blink of an eye.

After a few seconds.

The synthetic mechanical sound of the black mark sounded.

'Do you want to strengthen the camp? Because the black ship with the mark is not a single individual, it contains a large number of active individuals, and it is severely damaged, the strengthening time may be too long, please check carefully. '

Along with the mechanical sound, there is also a huge dark red countdown number generated under Yu Hong's feet.

'142 days 21:09'.

"! !?"

Yu Hong never thought that it would take so long.

It's almost five months! !

This is the first time he has seen such a long time since he used the black mark.

But according to the law of the black mark, the longer the strengthening time, the better the finished product.

Yu Hong stabilized his emotions and began to think about whether he needed the black mark now.

After making sure that there was no urgent need for it, he looked at the exaggerated countdown on the ground and finally gritted his teeth.

‘Yes! ’

He responded affirmatively in his heart.

Soon, the surface of the black seal flashed with a faint light, and the countdown on the ground was fixed.

Huh.

Yu Hong exhaled a long breath and it was turned into small ice chips by the cold winter.

After confirming the start of the strengthening, his heart was settled.

Every day, in addition to practicing Taiyuan Zhengfa, he observed the changes in the surrounding environment.

Soon, seven days later, after the temperature dropped to minus 100 degrees, the communication was disconnected again.

This time it was not a signal problem, nor was it a problem with him, but he turned on the communicator and couldn't find any place to contact.

Whether it was Aurora City or Zhang Kaijun, they were completely gone.

‘Maybe there was a malfunction in the equipment. ’ Yu Hong turned off the communicator and looked at the scenery outside the window that was completely covered with ice and snow.

The blue light of the Ultimate Gate is always released faintly, illuminating the open space within a certain range around it.

Watching the increasingly harsh environment outside, Yu Hong was silent for a while, feeling the Taiyuan Zhengfa in his body moving towards the second level.

‘If this goes on, even I can’t find food from the outside world.’ He knew in his heart that water could be solved with water condensation, but what about food? Without living things, when his stored food is eaten up, no matter how strong he is, he will face the dilemma of starvation.

He has not yet reached the state where he can maintain his life without eating.

Staying in the warm cave, he carefully thought about countermeasures.

The black disaster has the light disaster to offset it, and the situation is still good now. Everything is stable.

But the cold disaster can’t be helped. The extremely cold outside world is no longer an area where humans can move freely.

“Lao Zhou may really not come back” Yu Hong sighed suddenly.

Lao Zhou went out to find his family, and he never came back after going out.

"Perhaps, I should also collect more supplies while I still have time, and then strengthen the reserves and find another way out."

He thought of a function of the black ship, which would randomly dock at a place of vitality. This is a function of the savior ship itself.

"After the strengthening is completed, you can try to move the camp to a better location, where there are enough supplies to build an internal ecological cycle." He has begun to consider building a small regional ecosystem on his own, at least to ensure the food supply for himself or a few people.

"But the premise is that the Ultimate Gate can always maintain its current state. Keep a balance with the black disaster."

After determining the idea, Yu Hong returned to the cave after lunch in the afternoon and continued to practice the exercises.

The night was dark.

A slight discomfort suddenly emerged from the black ship mark in his mind.

Yu Hong, who was practicing cross-legged in the basement, suddenly frowned and opened his eyes.

Carefully feeling the black ship mark, he suddenly saw a blurry picture in front of him.

The turbulent black river was constantly impacting and shaking the huge black ship, causing it to tilt violently.

From a distance, it looked like it might be knocked over at any time.

The black ship began to generate more and more pulling force, which was the driving force generated by the scouring and impact of the black river, and seemed to pull the black ship downstream.

‘No wonder the black ship would go to another place every once in a while. Now it seems that it should be caused by the periodic rapids generated by the black river. ’

Yu Hong suddenly realized.

Although he understood it, whether to go or not was a problem.

But he no longer hesitated about this issue after he found that the mark of the black ship began to slowly weaken, become blurred, and break.

Because the rapids had begun to affect the black ship and destroy it.

Immediately, he stood up and called the three-headed dragon lizard to sort out the Agris of the Tianhe in the secret method Wuji Tianhe technique.

The imperial spearman died once and had been repaired in the Tianhe long ago. Now give it to Yiyi for protection.

Agris was also in good condition, but he was too big to be released casually.

Yu Hong thought about it and tried to put the three dragon lizards into the Tianhe River, but failed.

He had no choice but to take the dragon lizards to the black ship behind.

One dragon lizard carried supplies and water, one dragon lizard brought spare clothes, and the other was responsible for keeping an eye on the surroundings, keeping alert, and helping Yu Hong to supplement his safety precautions.

Standing on the black ship, Yu Hong held the side of the ship and looked at the turbulent black river below.

He gently let go of the pulling control of the black ship.

Click

After a slight noise, the ship began to drift down the black river.

Under the extreme cold, the black ship seemed to be affected to a certain extent, and the ship became more fragile and had no toughness.

The originally extremely hard hull, under the impact of the black water, debris fell from time to time.

Standing on the side of the ship, Yu Hong simply waited here quietly.

‘Speaking of which, since I merged with the black ship and turned it into my own imprint, this is the first time I have gone out by boat. ’

His eyes kept wandering in the black fog and black river on both sides.

Not long after, about half an hour later.     The black fog slowly dissipated in front of the black ship, and an oval gray island emerged.

There were obvious signs of artificial repairs around the island, and there were rusty dock piles painted with white paint on the gray-black stone beach.

One by one, the piles were inserted into the shallow water along the stone beach, connected to each other by long silver metal chains.

Next to the dock stone beach, there was a dilapidated and abandoned white-painted wooden house on the water.

The house was a cube, only five or six meters long and wide. Something was written on the outer wall in red paint, which seemed to be a warning slogan.

Yu Hong touched the translator on his ear and quickly stored the handwriting, waiting for more analysis and translation.

Soon, the black ship sailed into the shallow water area in front of the pile, slowly stopped, and did not move.

Yu Hong thought about it, picked up the anchor from the deck in a serious manner, threw it into the water, and stabilized the ship.

Then he came to the side of the ship and jumped down with the three dragon lizards.

Poof.

He used the Thunder Leg Technique and jumped out. His huge weight landed on the ground and left only two shallow pits.

‘This place.’ Yu Hong glanced at the detector on his collar, and his eyes suddenly condensed.

Although he was not wearing a suit now, he still took off the detector and pinned it to the collar of his shirt for easy inspection at any time.

The temperature at this time was: -4 degrees.

‘What’s going on? ? ’ Yu Hong thought he had seen it wrong, and wiped the LCD screen carefully again and looked at it again.

It is indeed minus four degrees!

‘The cold disaster broke out, even other Aurora cities in the distance were minus one hundred degrees, the sea froze into a flat ground, everything withered, and it was desolate. Perhaps some places can raise the temperature to minus ninety degrees or even higher and warmer because of their special topography. But’

Yu Hong looked around.

This island is not big. At this time, he realized that there was not even black fog here when he got on the island.

The cold wind blew at night, bringing bursts of sea smell.

Wait, sea smell! ? !

Yu Hong seemed to realize something, standing on the gray-black stone beach, and turned back suddenly.

In an instant, his pupils shrank slightly, as if he saw something incredible.

At this moment, the black ship behind him was not parked in the black river, but in a vast blue-black ocean.

Beyond the black ship, there was no black fog above the sea farther away, only the faintly flickering yellow lights of ships in the distance at night.

The ship lights moved slowly, and just as they moved away a little, new ship lights appeared in other directions.

Yu Hong rubbed his eyes and looked carefully again.

The smell of the sea, the sea water washing over the gray-black stone beach, and the occasional white seabirds flying by all showed that he was not hallucinating.

Buzz.

Suddenly, in the black sky, a large passenger plane slowly passed by, with flashing yellow navigation lights, flying towards the distant horizon.

Yu Hong looked up and looked at this familiar scene, and his heart suddenly felt blocked.

An indescribable feeling surged into his heart.

How long has it been since he saw such a passenger plane?

He watched the plane fly away in the distance until it completely disappeared in the night sky, and then he reluctantly withdrew his sight.

He set his eyes on the island again.

Yu Hong realized that there seemed to be something wrong with this place.

The island pier is connected to two rows of simple white-painted houses.

The paint on the house fell off, revealing the gray-black wood material underneath, which looked quite old.

Some shop signs had black-haired beauties wearing hot miniskirts.

Yu Hong glanced around and didn't see any living people.

He thought for a moment, waved his hand to let the three-headed dragon lizard return to the boat, took off his bulletproof suit, looked at the model's outfit on the billboard, and made sure that he was fine before changing into an ordinary white long-sleeved T-shirt, black jeans, and moving his limbs.

Step by step, he walked onto the island along the gray and white road connected to the pier like an ordinary person.

In the middle of the abandoned houses on both sides, he slowed down step by step, allowing the translator to collect as many words and characters as possible, as well as the corresponding application scenarios.

About ten minutes later.

The translator made a subtle prompt sound.

"Unknown characters have been included. By comparing and referring to similar language systems, the translation progress has been accelerated. Please name it."

"Second Night Text." Yu Hong said casually.

"Confirmed to be the Second Night Text, do you want to start instant voice translation?"

"Start."

Suddenly, the shop signs were translated by voice.

The signs and signboards all changed in Yu Hong's eyes.

Grilled squid, glutinous rice balls, freshly grilled seafood, dried seafood, travel consultation, and other shop signs are all available.

At the end of the road with houses on both sides, the largest billboard appeared in front of him.

'Welcome to vacation and travel, this is Huangsong Island First-Class Scenic Area. '

In addition to the text on the sign, there is also a spliced ​​picture of many people playing various marine activities.

Swimming, sea fishing, surfing, sailing, etc.

Yu Hong looked away and looked under the sign.

From here, the road splits into two directions.

On the left is a white stone road that leads to a slope deeper into the island.

On the right is another beach.

"This way, this way!"

"Why are there so few people here?"

"Isn't it a first-class scenic spot? There's not even a snack bar here. There's only one idiot living here. The experience is too bad. I'll choose the place next time."

"Since we're here, let's take a look first. Don't you think this place is exciting?"

The voices of young men and women came faintly from a distance.
