Chapter 25

One hour and fifty-one minutes, that is, two hours, is not a long time for Yu Hong.

He added firewood and waited.

Unconsciously, the number of black bugs outside the door decreased, and light shone faintly through the ventilation holes.

It's dawn.

He slowly walked behind the door and opened the viewing window.

There is a hazy gray fog in the mountains and forests outside. The sunlight illuminates the gray fog, turning everything into gray and white.

Suddenly, Yu Hong smelled a pungent smell in his nose, and couldn't help but take two steps back, frowning slightly.

He looked back at the enhanced medicine and saw that there were still a few minutes left.

There was no rush at the moment, he sat down quietly and waited.

After a while, the numbers on the surface of the black soil returned to zero.

Its entire body was suddenly distorted and blurred, and then quickly returned to clarity in less than a second.

After clearing it up, the original soil had turned into six black capsules.

On the back of the capsule is written: Antidiarrheal medicine, usage: one pill at a time, once a day. Side effects: abdominal pain, constipation, gastrointestinal discomfort.

Yu Hong's face lit up, he quickly ran over, picked up the medicine, took out one and stuffed it into his mouth, then picked up the cold boiled drink that he had filtered and boiled before, and swallowed it in one mouthful.

After taking the medicine, he felt much more at ease.

Black Seal's strengthening ability has never gone wrong. Since it is marked as an antidiarrheal medicine, there must be no problem.

After the medicine was taken, but it had not taken effect yet, Yu Hong had nothing to do, so he started to pick up tools and use the spare wood blocks to make a new water filter cup.

Anyway, as long as it is done simply, it can be perfected by strengthening it.

By the way, he also took a protein bar and stuffed it into his mouth.

This thing is said to be enough to last a day, so he plans to try it.

While doing manual work with a saw, he turned on the radio.

The radio station is modulated and has not been touched.

When you open it, a voice comes out, which is in the form of an interview between two people.

"The major disasters in Youyun City are not an isolated case in the past two years. According to statistics from reporters from the main station, since the emergence of black disasters, special disasters across the country have been on the rise. Among them, the casualties caused by mysterious shadows and blood tide monsters are not

Serious. They only cause more damage in the early stages of the black disaster. But in the subsequent stable environment, what really causes the number of casualties to rise sharply is the evil shadow that is more dangerous than the ghost shadow."

"The evil shadow is not afraid of ordinary pyroxene, moves extremely fast, and is highly contagious. Although its frequency of appearance is extremely low and it only appears once in a while, once it appears, the damage it causes far exceeds the previous two.

The disaster in Youyun caused a total of over 600 casualties, which is already comparable to Flika’s initial case of Char Town.”

"Yes, so does Professor Han have any suggestions for us?" the radio host asked.

"There is only one suggestion. Try to go to the larger Hope City stronghold. There are more advanced weapons and stronger protection there. One person cannot find a way to fight against the evil shadow. Thank you."

"Okay, by the way, you mentioned before that the Silver Tower Joint Research Institute will soon launch the Blood Tide Shadow Protection Survival Manual. Is it true or false?" the host asked.

"Well, I heard this news. I don't know if it's true or not. But now, the environment outside the city is getting worse and worse. There are more blood tides and evil shadows, and the nights are getting longer. For lighting,

The demand is growing. I personally feel that Yinta has the obligation and responsibility to publish such a manual."

"The last question. Someone from the audience asked: In a crowded gathering place, if you encounter danger, more people will die, and the possibility of being affected is greater. Just like the Bokov incident a year ago, the music box five months ago

The incidents all resulted in large-scale casualties. In addition, there are many more unreported incidents happening in various places. What do you think of such doubts?"

"This is what I want to warn you. From the current investigation, these incidents are all caused by evil spirits. It is highly contagious and can spread quickly through anyone who comes into contact with its medium. This is also the key to its ability to cause a large number of casualties.

As for the evil shadow, we currently have no effective means of dispersing it except isolating and dispersing the places where its vector appears."

"Where's the high-concentration pyroxene bomb?"

"No, the evil shadow is more dangerous than the evil shadow because they can recover very quickly after being dispersed without any damage. So once encountered, be sure to leave quickly. Now more and more evil shadow incidents outside will also lead to various

Great Hope City is becoming more and more strict with the review of people entering, so we advise survivors outside to enter the bunker in the city as soon as possible, otherwise they may be unable to enter and lack supplies if it is too late."

Next came the closing remarks and thanks. The professor left the live broadcast room amidst the host's gratitude. The program ended and turned into soft music.

Yu Hong sat on the stool and listened intently for a while.

He did not expect that the Hope City stronghold, which seemed safe outside, would actually face such great danger.

'That's right, with more people, there will naturally be more dangers attracted to them. If I were a shadow monster, I would first go to places with many people to find food.'

After coming back to his senses, he sighed softly.

He stood up, placed a rough wooden cup on the ground, then wrapped charcoal in a cloth and plugged the mouth of the cup as usual.

Finally, reach out and hold it down to strengthen.

The countdown number appears: 3:02.

"Huh? Why did the time get longer?" Yu Hong remembered that the last enhancement only took two and a half hours.

What happened this time?

He looked at his newly made cup. It was extremely rough in workmanship. It was just a square wooden bowl chopped casually with an axe, and a messy hole was dug in the middle with a chisel.

Much worse than the wooden cup I made carefully the first time

‘Could it be that the time is longer due to the workmanship?’ He had a vague guess in his mind.

Keep this in mind.

After resting for a while, he felt better. After starting to strengthen the water filter cup, he also got up to clean the house, took out the garbage and urine, put on the newly obtained clothes, went out to collect firewood, and found a puddle to get water.

After doing a series of things,

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

The cup has also been strengthened and is no different from the previous one.

He tried it and it worked really well.

On this day, he didn't run around anymore, but just collected firewood near the cave.

The dry firewood was soaked by the rain, but it was good for making small things.

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye, and Yu Hong enhanced another water filter cup.

Including the previous one, there are two in total.

He paused, not intending to continue, but picked up the tool set he had been using.

This set was made by Xiao Stutter himself. It includes saws, axes, chisels, shovels, screwdrivers, etc. It can be said to be quite complete.

Yu Hong plans to strengthen it to facilitate his subsequent use, otherwise it will be troublesome to wait until it breaks and then strengthen it. It may become a repair.

In the cave, he put all the tools together, picked them up with a rag, and then stretched out his hand to press them on the rag.

'Strengthening tool set, direction: strong and strengthened.'

Hiss, the black line flashed. A countdown suddenly appeared on the rag: 1 hour and 12 minutes.

Very short time.

Yu Hong took back his hand, thoughtfully.

'It seems that this enhancement has a lot to do with my requirements. The more difficult the requirements, the greater the span, and the longer the time. And it also requires a degree of completeness, but I don't know what the minimum degree of completeness is.'

He made some calculations in his mind and found a temporary place to sit down and rest.

The antidiarrheal medicine worked very well. He didn't have a bowel movement in six hours, and he didn't feel anything wrong with his body.

The remaining medicine can be kept for later use, and of course it can also be exchanged at critical times.

Feeling better, Yu Hong finally went out in the afternoon and walked around. After getting familiar with the environment, he returned to the safe house and began to take a nap early.

Unable to sleep at night, he planned to exercise according to advanced physical training methods.

Before going to bed, he couldn't waste the strengthening time of the black seal and couldn't let it idle.

So, he first went to check the condition of the tool set.

Walking to the corner, Yu Hong was stunned.

In the corner, all the tools that were originally in tatters were now fixed by a black metal fixture.

The tools on it are all completely new and brand new now.

Moreover, the surface of the tool material seems to be covered with a layer of gray-black unknown substance, and the thickness has become larger, making it look much stronger.

"Tsk, tsk. This is an amazing effect, it only takes one hour." Yu Hong sighed in admiration, and reached out to take out a saw.

The teeth of the saw were broken in some places before, but now if I look carefully, all the breaks have disappeared, and the teeth are much sharper than before.

With another admiration in his heart, Yu Hong began to look for the next strengthening target.

Now in the cave, food, drinking water, and tools are all guaranteed for the time being.

Only the remaining rest areas need to be strengthened.

His eyes suddenly fell on the thick, smelly quilt.

‘This enhanced version also comes with its own cleaning function. Try strengthening the quilt once. It would be better if it can be made into a type that won’t get moldy and is light and easy to wash.’

Thinking of this, he walked to the gray quilt given to him by Little Stutter, squatted down, and stretched out his hand.

'Reinforced bed, direction: mildew-proof, insect-repellent, lighter and easier to clean.'

A request flashed through his mind.

The black line flashed out from the black mark on the back of the hand and penetrated into the quilt in the blink of an eye.

The countdown number appears: 10:14.

‘So long?!’ Yu Hong was stunned. But on second thought, he seemed to have asked for too much. In addition, the bed was larger in size. Perhaps it was due to these reasons.

Ten hours, from now evening to dawn, I can afford to wait!

He felt certain in his heart and quickly confirmed Hei Yin's questioning voice.

Suddenly the black countdown on the quilt started to flow.

The fire light rose, and in the cave, Yu Hong was jogging in the middle of the cave and began to exercise.

At the same time, pay attention to your breathing at all times, visualize your mind, and work with your muscles to exert force.

It is still difficult to coordinate the three together.

He kept trying and repeating, occasionally stopping to add firewood, as time continued to pass.

Slowly, in the second half of the night, he gradually began to find the feeling of cooperation among the three.

As he jogged, he gradually heard some subtle sounds of water flowing in his ears.

The sound was very small at first.

As time goes by, the sound gradually becomes louder and louder.

Even the influx of black insects outside the door could not suppress the sound.
