Chapter 14

Nothing happened, no numbers emerged.

'It doesn't seem possible.'

He raised his head in disappointment.

After resting and thinking for a while, he suddenly recalled the two people he had just seen.

'Danger does not necessarily come only from monsters and shadows, but also from people. Therefore, safety issues must be put first.'

'My physical fitness is not good, it is much worse than that of a little stutterer, and I haven't even fully adapted to the life here. In a short period of time, the fastest way to ensure safety is to equip yourself!'

But he didn't have any equipment at hand. Could it be possible to strengthen the ax and attack people?

His eyes fell on axes, saws, steel nails, hammers and other tools.

Shaking his head in his heart, he didn't hold out much hope.

But no matter what, he walked over, picked up the axe, looked at the numbers that appeared on it, and confirmed the start of strengthening.

'Anyway, there is still time, let's try strengthening it first.'

After confirming the start, place the ax in the corner and block it with something.

He walked to the door again and looked out through the viewing window.

There was no one outside and it was quiet.

The wind blew through the leaves and made a rustling sound, not even the insects or birds.

Click.

Yu Hong opened the door, walked out with the protein bar bag, and looked at it warily.

He checked the steel-nailed pyroxene stick tied to his lower back. This thing helped him a lot last time.

The effect is very obvious when encountering ghost shadows.

Although according to what Little Stutter said, the shadow cannot be killed and will automatically reappear soon.

But it is enough to resolve the immediate crisis.

After closing the wooden door, Yu Hong frowned.

‘If there is no cover, if someone discovers everything inside, everything might be gone’

He touched the door lock.

Inside the round keyhole is a standard metal structure. It is cold and hard.

The wooden door was originally unlocked, and he didn't know how to make a lock. But after it was strengthened, the lock appeared on its own, and it also came with several keys.

This is also where Yu Hong is very curious about the black seal strengthening mechanism.

He stood at the door, picked up many branches, leaves and vines from around, and scattered them on the door of the cave.

In this way, it will not be so eye-catching from a distance.

Although it's still unsafe, it's much better than before.

After taking cover, he quietly hurried towards Baiqiu Village.

The emergence of protein bars has alleviated the problem of food shortage for the two people, but the more important thing now is candles.

Not enough candles!

If the upsurge period really extends to six days, their current three candles will not be enough.

I need to replace a few more.

Walking along the familiar mountain road, after more than ten minutes, Baiqiu Village is in sight.

Yu Hong was about to move forward when his footsteps suddenly stopped.

His expression changed slightly, he looked in the direction of Baiqiu Village, and quickly hid behind a tree trunk.

From where he was to the old road to Baiqiu Village, there was a man lying on his side on the grass.

A thin, black-haired man wearing camouflage clothing.

The man was motionless, and a large amount of blood spilled out from under his body, dyeing the grass red.

"Dead?" Yu Hong hid behind the tree trunk, his heart quickly became tense.

He stood there, motionless, observing carefully.

He didn't even dare to breathe too hard for fear of disturbing someone around him.

I just hid like this for a long time.

The man was still motionless, and Yu Hongcai guessed that the man was either dead or in a coma.

He looked around the environment to make sure that no one was hiding, then slowly walked out of the tree trunk and approached the other party little by little.

Walking up to the man, he knelt down and patted his shoulder.

"Hello?"

No movement.

Yu Hong stretched out his hand and touched the side of the man's neck.

Cold.

His heart skipped a beat, knowing that the other party was really dead.

A corpse.

A corpse turned into a person that I just saw

When he thought of this, Yu Hong's complexion suddenly turned pale.

His abdomen was tight, his breathing was rapid, his pupils were dilated, and he had a vague desire to vomit. He felt that the hand he had just touched was not clean.

Holding back the nausea.

He reached out, grabbed the corpse by the shoulders, and turned it over.

puff.

The black-haired man was lying on his back on the ground.

There was a clear dark red blood hole on his left chest. His eyes were wide open and his mouth was open, as if he was roaring.

Yu Hong didn't dare to look any further and quickly rummaged through the man's pockets.

Two jacket pockets, trouser pockets, a waist bag, everything was quickly found.

There was no food, no useful tools, and only a broken and cracked black radio was found.

Yu Hong picked up the radio and ran away. He didn't want to stay with a corpse anymore.

Although he had thought beforehand that he might see a similar scene like this, when a corpse actually appeared in front of him, he couldn't suppress the rolling in his stomach at all.

He ran all the way, and after a while, he rushed to the door of the little stuttering house.

Bang bang bang.

He knocked quickly.

"Little stutter, open the door quickly!" Then he read out a series of random numbers quickly.

This is the secret code they agreed upon.

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

The continuous knocking on the door was particularly harsh in Baiqiu Village at dusk.

On weekdays, whenever Yu Hong comes and knocks on the door, the little stammer will quickly stop.

But this time, there was no movement in the room.

"Stuttering?" Yu Hong couldn't help but raise his voice.

The knock on the door and his shout echoed continuously on both sides of the gravel road in the village.

Sounds also traveled and dispersed from the empty black rooms.

The village became increasingly quiet.

"Little stutter!?" Yu Hong felt a little confused. Is he not here?

He turned around and looked around to make sure there was no shadow, then he stopped and knocked on the door.

Where did that guy go at this time? It will be dark soon. If you don't find a place to hide, it will be too dangerous!

He was breathing rapidly, holding the protein bar bag in one hand, and quietly holding the steel-nailed pyroxene bar hanging in one hand.

"Here it comes!" Suddenly, a familiar response came from the room.

It’s a little stutter!
