Desperate Night

Chapter 81 081 Darkness 1

"This is a good idea." Yu Hong nodded to accept the suggestion.

"By the way, have you received any news recently?" He suddenly asked again, thinking of Yu Ren who had been quiet for a long time. Two weeks have passed, and there are only a few days left before his self-healing talisman array can be strengthened and completed. If the speaker comes back in the past few days, it will be dangerous.

"As we predicted, that ghost went to other places. A small stronghold was affected, and hundreds of people died." Li Runshan said helplessly. "Now the higher-ups have begun planning to merge the bases, because they have discovered that as the nights outside get longer and the days get shorter, the scale and danger of black disasters are also rising."

"I also noticed that the days are getting shorter and shorter, and I thought it was a seasonal change." Yu Hong said in a deep voice.

"Of course not. The range of changes is much greater than seasonal changes." Li Runshan sighed. "Also, how do you think about the proposal I gave you before? It is the idea of ​​establishing a surrounding stronghold with you as the center."

"Look at this trend, save yourself first. Why do you suddenly mention this?" Yu Hong said in surprise.

"I went out yesterday and met a few loners who came to dig for pyroxene. They were all very capable. You also know that the loners who dare to hang around outside at this time are not ordinary people. I also met a guy with good strength who led A group of survivors are fleeing. They are almost out of food, so I recommend that they go to Baiqiu Village to hide first," Li Runshan replied.

"So?" Yu Hong asked.

"See if you have this intention. I gathered a lot of food from the supply team. In fact, if we hadn't met the whisperer, we would have been able to deal with ordinary troubles very easily." Li Runshan said.

Yu Hong nodded, that was indeed the case. If Yu Ren's strength hadn't been too exaggerated, he wouldn't have been so exhausted, frantically trying to increase the strength of the talisman array.

"You should think about it. Anyway, after this wave of impact, many people are now taking their own people out to live alone. Too many people can easily cause problems and attract exaggerated attacks that are difficult to handle." Li Runshan said, "In addition, I Now one person is too busy to make dried meat and mushrooms, and the output is very low. The nights will become longer, which will probably lead to insufficient light. By then, solar power will be useless, and we will have to rely on many things. Bioenergy, candle making must also continue.”

"There is no light, and the trees can't survive. What do you use candles for?" Yu Hong was speechless.

"You're right. Maybe I should get some human-powered generators or biogas as backup lighting energy." Li Runshan sighed. "Anyway, you should think of a way. We can't always rely on the supply team to help. It's getting more and more difficult for the supply team to travel now, and the intervals are getting longer and longer. By then, we'll be out of food, and they haven't come yet. The problem is huge.”

".This is indeed a problem." Yu Hong nodded.

"That's it for today. Your water supply system will arrive in a few days. I'll let you know then. I also got some cellular communicators on the same frequency. Then we can communicate directly without running around. Contact me. This time I spent all my savings to completely consolidate our residence! I just took away the Sunshine Series.”

"Didn't you say you can't afford the Sunshine Series?" Yu Hong suddenly questioned.

"You heard wrong, wrong. Well, that's it for today, Nana, say goodbye to uncle."

"Goodbye uncle."

Bang.

Lao Li dragged his daughter into the stone house and ran away behind closed doors.

Yu Hong was left alone outside speechless.

"This guy!" He silently hit the rotten grass with his stick, turned around and walked out of the yard.

Obviously, Li Runshan can buy very few of the Sunshine series. It is likely that there is a quota limit, and he can't buy it casually even if he has money, so he is so stingy.

After leaving the post office, Yu Hong returned to the cave.

As usual, I checked the countdown progress of the large talisman array in the courtyard, and after making sure there was no problem, I continued to dig the stone chamber.

His safe house cave is actually connected to a hill. The cave itself is a little above the horizon, so digging additional stone chambers is actually at most a little below the horizon, and the black worm layer below will not be dug.

Yes, Yu Hong himself named the thickness from the ground to the black worms as the surface layer, and below that is the black worm layer to facilitate memory.

puff.

A large frame of gravel was carried out by Yu Hong and dumped in a corner of the yard.

He glanced at the sky, turned around and continued digging.

After a while, another large frame of gravel was poured out.

Yu Hong was covered in sweat, moved his hands and arms, and began to use the poured stones to strengthen the yard wall.

At this time, the courtyard wall was already half a meter high. It's all made up of piles of rocks he dug out these days.

Even with so many stones dug out, the natural stone chamber is almost completed.

After Yu Hong distributed the stones, he turned back to the cave and went down the steps from the hole in the corner.

Soon, we entered a somewhat irregular square stone chamber.

The stone room was dark and cold, with only a cold atomic lamp thrown in the corner, emitting a faint green light, as the only illumination.

Yu Hong patted the dust off his hands and walked back and forth in the stone room, roughly estimating the volume using the number of steps he took.

‘It feels much larger than the cave above, at least as big as two caves. This is about the same size and can be used as an activity room or storage room, and a new single room can be dug out later. ’

He then began to carve new talisman formations on the cave wall to ensure that no shadows could enter here.

This place is located in the belly of the mountain, with no other entrances and exits, and the ghost probably hasn't discovered this place yet.

But after all, a ventilation hole must be built, so a communication channel with the outside must be opened.

'When the water system comes, it can be installed here, but the energy problem is that there is no electricity and the supply system cannot operate. This is a big problem. If the nights get longer and longer, the light will definitely become less and less.' Yu Hong felt helpless.

The appearance of new gnawers in the blood tide has already made him feel troubled. Now there are problems with light power generation again. This problem is not only faced by him, but also by all other hope cities.

But some hope cities can use hydropower, geothermal power, nuclear power, wind power, fossil fuels, etc. But he is alone, with no knowledge of these things, and the facilities and engineering materials are too different, and the surrounding environment cannot be used.

'It would be great if we could get a nuclear reactor to generate electricity.' He talked to Lao Li and heard that some hope cities are powered by miniature nuclear power generators, which are about the same size as pressure cookers and can barely support the daily electricity consumption of residents in a small urban area.

Sighing, Yu Hong continued to carve the rune array on the wall. Soon, this wall was covered with dense white rune arrays.

Ding ding.

The wooden barrel used to hold the ink powder was completely empty.

Yu Hong chopped the barrel, scraped it with a spoon, and knocked it, but he only got the last half spoonful out. He couldn't even complete a rune array after digging it out.

'I have to go to the mining area again. All the large pyroxenes are gone, and the small pyroxenes are also used up. I have to get some and wait for the large array outside to be strengthened, and then strengthen it to get some large pyroxenes. '

He is not strengthening the large pyroxene directly now, which will waste time. The correct way is to grind the small pyroxene into powder first, and then strengthen it, which is simpler and faster.

What he thought was that since the large pyroxene itself was going to be ground into powder, he didn't need to draw runes on the surface, and it was enough to directly change from pyroxene to large pyroxene material.

Since it has to be ground into powder anyway, I will grind the ordinary pyroxene manually first, which can also save strengthening time.

So after testing it many times, he found that it was indeed effective, and successfully shortened the time for strengthening the large pyroxene graphite powder from the previous three days to just over two days.

After exhaling, Yu Hong returned to the cave along the stone steps, made a fire and cooked a pot of thick soup, and drank it happily.

Then he looked at the sky outside that had completely darkened, fell on the soft sleeping bag, and fell into a deep sleep.

The bright white light could not stop the sleepiness brought by fatigue.

In his hazy dream, Yu Hong seemed to hear some voices echoing in his ears again. It seemed to be Chen Huiru, and it seemed to be Li Runshan, and someone else familiar, strange, happy, and painful.

The voices became more and more, and more and more mixed, until the end.

Bang bang bang!

Yu Hong opened his eyes suddenly and heard a loud bang on the door.

He looked at the door and looked out of the window gap. A ray of bright white skylight indicated that it had been dawn outside for a while.

"Is Teacher Yu here?" A muffled voice came from outside the door.

Yu Hong exhaled, slowly got up, and moved his limbs.

At this time in the cave, the fireplace had long been extinguished, and the lights were still on, but the temperature had dropped to a somewhat chilly point.

'The temperature is getting colder and colder. We have to keep warm at this time. If we catch a cold or fever, it will be a big problem. ' He rubbed his hands and felt that the coldness on his body was slightly warmed up.

Walked to the front door.

Swish.

The viewing window was opened.

The bald face of the butcher Xu Fan was revealed outside.

The oil paint on this guy's face was washed off, and his two eyes were similar to those of a tiger, round and slightly brown. His nose was a little collapsed, as if it had been collapsed by a beating, and there was a scar of stitches on the corner of his mouth. Overall, he gave people the standard temperament of a butcher in a horror movie.

No wonder he was called a butcher.

Yu Hong was speechless and waited for five seconds.

"You are finally here. I have been waiting for a long time. You have delayed your arrival for such a long time."

"Alas, I encountered something. It is hard to describe." Xu Fan looked helpless.

"You step back first and wait for me outside the yard. Remember not to stay in the yard for a long time. It is dangerous." Yu Hong strictly followed the five-second reply rule and reminded him.

Xu Fan responded, stepped back and jumped down the stone steps, and retreated to the outside of the yard.

Seeing that he really went out and kept a distance, Yu Hong changed into the enhanced white bear suit, picked up the blue whale suit that had been repaired long ago, and opened the door to go out.

He thought about hiding in the house and not going out to avoid danger. But then he thought again, this is okay for ghosts and blood tides, but for people, or butchers with extremely rich field combat experience, hiding in the cave, the other party has too many ways to easily trap himself.

Let alone a gas bomb, it is not easy for him to deal with it. The suit has a gas mask, but the water meat, mushrooms and wild vegetables in the cave will definitely be contaminated.

Therefore, when facing people, it is safer to go out and deal with them in a spacious environment.

Of course, when going out, he did not forget to bring his enhanced pistol. Paper and pen for easy writing.
