Chapter 40

On the way back, Yu Hong's heart kept thinking about the image of Eve who had just passed out.

He actually wanted to smash the opponent to death directly, but when the time came, he couldn't do it.

He used to be just an ordinary person, an ordinary office worker. Even if he knocked out two soldiers in a counterattack last time, he didn't kill anyone!

Yes.

He only knocked them unconscious. If they could wake up in time, they would still be alive.

So he didn't kill anyone at all. As long as the person didn't die immediately in his hands, it didn't count.

And it's the same this time.

He didn't dare to kill anyone, he didn't dare to see a living, moving and troubled life, an equal life, slowly passing away under his own hands.

That indescribable feeling made him feel more nauseous and wanted to vomit.

Maybe he will get used to it in the future, but for now, at least at this moment.

He still has a kind heart. He is still just an ordinary person after all.

Back in front of the safe house in the cave, Yu Hong gave the unconscious Jenny a few more sticks and broke her limbs.

Then he took off her keys, dagger and other things, then returned to the house with peace of mind, lit a fire, took off her clothes that were wet with sweat, and sat naked by the fire.

He didn't move, he just sat quietly, with the three talisman arrays stacked beside him, within easy reach.

There was silence for a long time, maybe more than an hour.

"well"

Yu Hong sighed and looked at the flames dancing in the fireplace, with a trace of confusion and sadness in his eyes.

"I don't want this"

He whispered.

"But the environment is like this and the people outside are like this. It's not my fault."

He reached out and took out the pistol from the holster on his waist.

This black Aurora-made pistol was completely out of bullets at this time, and the two shots just now completely used up the only two bullets he had in stock.

Now that it's gone, he should use it to try to strengthen it.

Holding the handle of the gun, Yu Hong thought silently in his heart.

'Enhanced firearms, direction is. Automatically replenish bullets.'

‘Insufficient integrity.’ Black-stamped wool is obviously not so easy to pull out.

It is obviously impossible to upgrade from an ordinary pistol to an unlimited bullet pistol in one go.

Yu Hong thought for a moment and then changed it.

'Strengthen firearms, the direction is: reduce recoil, refill bullets once.'

'Insufficient completeness.'

The feedback from Heiyin is still not good.

Yu Hong frowned immediately, and then began to try other strengthening directions.

But no matter which direction, it seems that there is no way to replenish bullets.

Thinking back to the items that have been strengthened before, many of them will be automatically completed. They even have built-in repair functions. For example, this is the case with doors.

So he simply took a pistol and started the most basic recoil enhancement.

The countdown finally started, the time is 32 minutes.

Not too long.

Yu Hong simply sat and waited quietly, sorting out his thoughts and future plans.

Not long after, when the time was up, the pistol in front of him blurred for a moment, and then became clear again.

The clear pistol still looks the same, but its appearance is obviously much newer, and the Aurora manufacturing mark has also disappeared.

Yu Hong quickly picked it up and ejected the magazine.

It was empty inside, which made him look disappointed.

"It appears that bullets still cannot be replenished, which means bullets are treated as separate items for the pistol."

He gave up the gun, got up and started exercising.

The advanced physical training method has given him a lot of help so far. Not to mention physical fitness, running is getting faster and faster and easier.

After exercising and eating thick soup, it was getting dark outside.

Yu Hong recalled what happened to Jenny's mother and daughter, and there was still an unavoidable mystery in his heart.

"If you go by what Dr. Xu said, Jenny's family is indeed very abnormal. Jenny herself has obviously practiced fighting and has a dagger. Her daughter Eve is proficient in ancient Chinese and many foreign languages, which can be trained in a small place like this

If you can’t get out, the educational environment is not enough.”

"So, this means that they definitely lived in a big place with a good environment before. The strange thing is that even to explore the secret of the black disaster, Jenny's husband should not bring all his family members here. The family is in a big place

, obviously it will be safer.”

"Why did you take the initiative to bring your family here?" Yu Hong couldn't figure it out.

But fortunately, tomorrow he plans to visit Jenny and her daughter's house to see if he can find anything useful, such as the Sunshine No. 1.

It's completely dark outside.

Yu Hong sat alone on a round stool, drinking the sweet soup he had just cooked.

The rustling outside the door was filled with the crawling sound of black insects. As soon as they came in, they were burned by the fire and turned into black smoke.

Up to now, he has been able to face the invasion of the black disaster quite calmly.

Compared to Black Disaster, Shadow and Evil Shadow were obviously much more threatening to him.

He casually took out a painted array board and began to strengthen it again.

"It would be nice if the fireplace could automatically refill the firewood without me having to worry about it. Then I could sleep peacefully and not worry about more things. Instead of having to manually refill the firewood every half hour."

He sighed quietly.

A night of silence.

Early the next morning, he put on his mace and went out fully armed.

First come to where Jenny is lying.

This guy crawled on the grass for more than ten meters, and finally leaned under a tree. He completely disappeared, leaving only a pile of clothes scattered on the ground.

Yu Hong checked and made sure that the clothes were fine and had no black fingerprints, so he rolled them up and put them in the cave safe house.

These fabrics can also be used to make a lot of messy things, and they are very versatile. In the future, when there are no more people to make leather clothes, the fabrics will have to be used sparingly.

Ignoring Jenny, Yu Hong continued to rush towards the post office, and soon arrived at the place where Eve fell.

It was no surprise that there was only one set of clothes scattered on the grass where Eve fell.

But this time Yu Hong didn't dare to move because there was a clear black handprint printed on the pants of these clothes.

He picked up some stones and threw them to hold down his clothes and pants to ensure that they would not be blown around by the wind. Then he continued to rush towards the post office gathering place.

The cave where Dr. Xu lives is also nearby. He must communicate with him in advance to avoid misunderstandings.

After all, they are the only two living people around now.

When passing the post office, Yu Hong suddenly paused and stopped unexpectedly.

Outside the stone building of the post office, there was actually a man sweeping the branches and leaves in the yard with a broom.

This man looked like a traveling companion, wearing blue and white camouflage uniforms, carrying a khaki backpack, and a peaked cap. He was about 1.8 meters tall, very strong, and had a dark complexion.

The other party also saw Yu Hong, put down his broom, and slowly walked closer.

"Hello, I'm the new postman, Li Runshan."

He didn't get very close, but stopped about five meters away.

"I'm Yu Hong, I live nearby." Yu Hong briefly introduced himself. "Are you really the postman?" He was somewhat skeptical.

"This is my certificate, medal, and tools." Li Runshan took out a dark blue notebook and opened it to Yu Hong.

As expected, the book contained an identity certificate stamped with a red seal. The postal system of the People's United Army of the Republic was printed on the top, and the national emblem, name, and certificate number were printed below.

The medals were much simpler. Li Runshan just lifted it up with one hand, revealing the inside of one side of his coat, which was filled with more than a dozen medals of different sizes and colors.

"I am a veteran. I have served in the field force for more than ten years. Alas." He breathed out. "I never thought that this world would change."

"The nearby town has been relocated, do you know?" Yu Hong asked.

"Well, I'm not from the town. The relocated town merged with our Hope City, and now I'm also a member of the city." Li Runshan explained, "I was sent from the city. The serial number of Hope City is 231. That's what everyone is used to calling it.

The name is Baihe City."
