Chapter 19

Eleven minutes ended quickly.

Under Yu Hong's expectant gaze, the thick wooden bar supporting the door suddenly blurred and turned into a dark metal rod in less than two seconds!

The metal bar is just like an enlarged version of a chocolate bar, with anti-slip pads fixed on both ends to increase friction. The material seems to be iron, but it is much darker than iron.

Picking up the stick, Yu Hong inspected it carefully.

"Although it is still a very simple structure, the material has been strengthened. It is obviously much stronger than before. It's amazing!"

He was amazed.

Immediately afterwards, the second thick wooden strip was reinforced together again.

Ten minutes later, two black metal pillars on the back of the door, one on the left and one on the right, symmetrically pressed against the door.

"This is much stronger than the three of us shouldering each other."

Yu Hong nodded with satisfaction.

"Then, there's one last troubling question."

Candle.

He was a little afraid to go to Baiqiu Village, but there were candles and everything there, as well as water filters, pots and cups.

"I only have one candle here, it won't be enough unless I light a fire. Wait!"

Suddenly Yu Hong narrowed his eyes and looked at the stove beside the stone wall.

The stove, complete with smoke pipe, that Little Stutter had snatched back for him, has not been officially put into use yet.

'What if I reinforce this?'

As soon as the thought came together, Yu Hong's heart arose with strong expectations.

He suddenly remembered the ax he had strengthened before, and went to the corner to find it.

The ax is different from before.

It used to be a simple ax with a wooden handle, and the cutting edge had many chips due to cutting.

Now after strengthening, the ax has turned into a large metal handle logging ax.

The long black handle also has anti-slip texture, the main body of the silver ax is obviously thicker than before, and the blade shimmers with cold light.

It can be said that this ordinary old ax suddenly turned into a sophisticated logging ax.

Putting down the axe, Yu Hong walked to the stove.

The stove is square in shape, made of metal, and coated with black paint. It looks like a low black table.

Yu Hong stretched out his hand and pressed the edge of the stove.

The cold touch refreshed his spirit.

'Strengthen the fire, strengthen the lighting and heating system.'

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he quickly changed the name of the stove.

laugh.

A black line suddenly flowed out from the black mark on the back of the hand and penetrated into the surface of the stove.

Soon, a number appeared on the surface of the stove: 12:07.

‘Do you want to strengthen the lighting and heating system?’ A black-marked voice asked.

‘Yes!’ Yu Hong responded forcefully.

Suddenly, the numbers on the surface of the stove changed, from the previous unchanged numbers to a countdown.

‘I hope it will come true.’ Yu Hong felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.

There was still a gap before dark, and he had a candle. He would definitely be able to get through tonight, and there would be no problem at dawn tomorrow.

But if the enhanced stove tomorrow still fails to meet his expectations, he will have no choice but to take the risk and enter Baiqiu Village to bring back the candles and other supplies left by Little Stutter.

Seeing that the time on the stove was decreasing, Yu Hong found a dry place to sit down, feeling exhausted.

The series of changes that happened today caught him off guard. In addition, he had just repaired two supporting wooden bars, which consumed too much physical energy.

Feeling sleepy for a while, he simply took out the candle in advance, held it in his hand, leaned on the steel nail pyroxene rod, and slowly fell asleep.

"Laoyu?"

"Laoyu??"

A soft cry woke him up from his sleep.

As soon as Yu Hong opened his eyes, he found a familiar pretty face hanging in front of him, looking at him with a smile.

It’s Chen Huiru, a female colleague in the unit.

"Lao Yu woke up. I was scared to death. I thought something big had happened. It's okay, okay, but I was just scared." Chen Huiru turned her head and said in another direction.

"Let me just say that Lao Yu is not that fragile."

"This time the joke is too big. They are all from the same unit. It's too much."

"Old Yu always brags about his boldness. Seeing how scared he is this time, I have enough material for him for a year!" A burst of laughter came.

Soon, Yu Hong rubbed his eyes and found himself sitting on the grass downstairs of his unit, surrounded by greenery, surrounded by a circle of colleagues from the unit.

Each of them looked at him with a smile and talked in a hurry.

"Isn't it very realistic?"

"The bug before was a model I rented from a nearby film crew. It scared four people, including you! You're lucky, Yuan Zhou was so scared that he almost peed his pants, but we all recorded it!"

"You still say that! It's all your fault for having such a bad idea!"

Colleagues laughed and laughed, forming a circle around Yu Hong on the sunny grass.

Their smiles are warm and harmonious.

As they talked, they began to hold hands and circle around Yu Hong.

One circle.

One circle.

One circle.

"Let's see if Lao Yu still can't come to his senses."

"So funny!"

"Don't be angry, Brother Gao is going to treat you to some dregs hot pot later!"

“I miss taking photos, eggplant~~”

Sound after sound continued to penetrate into Hong's ears.

He sat blankly, looking at his colleagues spinning around him. Their smiles were so real and warm.

"It turns out that everything is a prank." Yu Hong opened his mouth, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.

He stood up and reached out to grab one of his most familiar colleagues.

laugh.

Everything suddenly became quiet.

The sound completely disappeared, and there was silence, and Yu Hong's eyes suddenly blurred.

He took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.

The cold stone ground was so hard and real that it hurt his tailbone.

He was still sitting on the ground, still leaning on the smelly quilt, facing the stove that was still counting down, motionless, holding his knees with his hands.

It was quiet in the cave, with dim light pouring in from the door and window.

"It's a dream..." He sighed.

It's getting dark soon.

Yu Hong's eyes moved to the window.

"!!!"

Looking out the window, there was a blurry face, looking at him quietly through the steel mesh!

Look at yourself who just woke up from sleep!

"Who!?" Yu Hong stood up suddenly, holding a steel-nailed pyroxene rod in his hand, trying to get up.

However, my legs had not moved for a long time, and I felt numb when I stood up, almost losing my balance.

When he stood firm while holding on to the stove, and looked again, there were no faces left outside the window.

"Huhu." Yu Hong's face turned pale, and he guessed that it might be a strange shadow. Because he didn't hear the footsteps at all. Moreover, the other party moved at a speed that spanned a distance in one go, and there was no continuity. This is
