Chapter 81

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

"By the way, have you received any news recently?" He thought of Yuren who had been quiet for a long time, and suddenly asked again. 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 strongholds, because they discovered that with the darkness outside

The days are getting longer and shorter, and 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 well did you consider 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 several loners who came to dig for pyroxene. They are 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 and 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 have collected 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 wasn't too exaggerated, he wouldn't be so exhausted and frantically trying to increase the strength of the talisman array.

"You should think about it. After all, after this wave of impact, many people are now taking their own people out to live alone. Too many people can cause problems easily 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. We need help. The nights are getting longer, which is likely to lead to insufficient light in the future. By then, solar power generation will be useless, and we can only rely on many things.

Bioenergy and candle making must also continue.”

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

"You're right. Maybe I should get some human-powered generators or biomass gas 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. The supply team is traveling now.

It becomes more and more difficult, and the intervals start to get longer and longer. When we run out of food and they haven't come yet, the problem will be big."

".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 us. I spent all my savings this time, and I must completely consolidate our residence! The Sunshine Series alone is worth it. Let’s not talk about it, just withdraw it.”

"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 possible that there is a quota limit, and he cannot 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 slightly below the horizon, so that 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 and turned around to continue 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 was all made of piled stones that he had excavated over the past few 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-shaped stone chamber.

The stone chamber 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. It can be used as an activity room or storage room, and a new single room can be built later.'

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

This place is located in the middle of the mountain, there are no other entrances and exits, and Guiying probably hasn't found this place yet.

But after all, vents still have to be built, so the communication channel with the outside must be opened.

'It's okay to wait for the water system to 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 thought.

have no choice.

The appearance of new eaters in the blood tide has already caused him trouble. Now there are problems with lighting and power generation. This problem is not only faced by him, but also by all other Hope Cities.

But some cities of hope can use hydropower, geothermal power, nuclear power, wind power, fossil fuels, etc. But he is just one person and has no knowledge of these things. The facilities and engineering materials are also far inferior, and the surrounding environment It can't even be used.

"It would be great if we could get a nuclear reactor to generate electricity." He talked with Lao Li and heard that some Hope City uses micro nuclear power generators to power the electricity. The size is about the same as a pressure cooker and can barely support the daily life of residents in a small urban area. Use electricity.

Sighing, Yu Hong continued to carve the talisman arrays on the wall. Soon, the whole wall was covered with dense white talisman arrays.

Dang Dang.

The wooden barrel used to hold toner was also completely empty.

Yu Hong took the bucket and chopped it, then scraped and knocked it with a spoon, but he could only get out the last half of the spoon, and he couldn't even complete a talisman array after digging it out.

'We have to go to the mining area again. All the large pyroxenes are gone, and the small pyroxenes have been used up. We have to get some after the large array outside has been strengthened, and then we can strengthen them to get some large pyroxenes.'

He now no longer directly strengthens the large pyroxene, which would waste time. The correct method was discovered by Yu Hong, which 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 pyroxene itself had to be ground into powder, he didn't need to draw runes on the surface. It was enough to directly change the material of pyroxene into pyroxene.

It has to be ground into powder anyway, so I manually grind the ordinary pyroxene first, which can also save time for strengthening.

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

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

Then he looked at the completely dark sky outside, fell on the soft sleeping bag, and fell into a drowsy sleep.

Even bright white lights can't stop the sleepiness caused by fatigue.

In his hazy sleep, Yu Hong seemed to hear some sound echoing in his ears again. It seemed to be Chen Huiru, Li Runshan, and someone else who was familiar, unfamiliar, happy, or painful.

The sounds became more and more numerous and complex, until finally.

Bang bang bang!

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

He looked towards the door. Outside the gap in the viewing window, a bright white skylight showed that it had been dawn outside for a while.

"Is Teacher Yu here?" A loud, irritated voice came from outside the door.

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

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

"The temperature is getting colder and colder, so I have to try to keep warm at this time. If I catch a cold or have a fever, it will be a big problem." He rubbed his hands and felt that the coldness on his body was slightly warmer.

Go to the front door.

Swish.

The viewing window was opened.

The butcher Xu Fan’s bald face is revealed outside.

The paint on this guy's face has been washed away, and his eyes are similar to those of a tiger, round and shining with a slight brown light. The nose is a bit flat, as if it has been crushed, and there are also stitch scars on the corner of the mouth, giving the overall impression

The standard temperament of a butcher in a horror movie.

No wonder he is called a butcher.

Yu Hong was speechless and waited for five seconds.

"You are finally here. You have been waiting for a long time. The promised time has taken so long to come."

"Oh, something happened, and I can't explain it in words." Xu Fan looked helpless.

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

Xu Fan responded, stepped back, jumped down the stone steps, and retreated outside the courtyard.

Seeing that he had indeed gone out and distanced himself, Yu Hong put on 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 to avoid danger. But then he thought about it, he could do this against Shadow and Blood Tide, but against the master, he was still a butcher with extremely rich experience in field battles. There were too many enemies hiding in the cave.

The method can easily trap yourself to death.

Apart from anything else, it would be difficult for me to deal with a gas bomb. The suit comes with 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 face them in a spacious environment.

Of course, when he went out, he did not forget to bring his enhanced pistol and paper and pen for easy writing.
Chapter completed!
