Chapter 11 : Accumulation (1)

This world is dangerous, Very dangerous.

Yu Hong has fully realised this in the more than half a month since he came here.

As an ordinary person, he is far inferior to Little Stutterer and the others in survival knowledge, and his physical fitness is also far behind them.

Even Little Stutter and Dr. Xu were having such a hard time. If he relied on himself alone, he would definitely not be able to succeed.

Therefore, he must take advantage of his strengths that are different from others, and his greatest advantage - the black mark.

It was sunny new morning --

In front of a strange tiled house in Baiqiu Village.

Yu Hong and the little stutterer were wearing dirty clothes, with greasy hair that looked like beggars. They were standing in front of the door and looking inside.

The room was dark and filled with a chilly atmosphere. From time to time, a slight breeze blew out, accompanied by a musty smell and an unknown odour.

The sunlight stops in front of the door, dividing the inside and outside into two worlds.

"The pipe I want is in here." Yu Hong said seriously.

"How do we get it?" The little stutterer asked in the same serious voice.

She seemed to be imitating Yu Hong.

"The Shadow may appear at any time, so we must be quick." Yu Hong said.

The cave safe house must have a warm stove, and it is very dangerous to light a fire in a closed cave, so the smoke pipe cannot be missing! So. Looking at the dark room inside, for the first time, a look of determination rose in his eyes.

' I am very scared but I must first face danger myself instead of waiting for them '

"Let's go."

Holding the strengthened white stone tightly in his trouser pocket, Yu Hong walked into the house.

The little stutterer was behind him, also holding a bag of white stones in her hands, looking around nervously.

*Snapped*

As soon as the two of them stepped into the house and entered the dark area, they suddenly felt a chill climbing up from their ankles.

At this moment, the strengthened white stone and the normal white stone took effect at the same time, and wisps of cold air poured in, offsetting the coldness.

"There's a problem, quick !" Yu Hong instantly realised that there was a strange shadow here, and immediately increased his speed, rushing towards the depths of the house.

He inspected many houses, and this one had the most suitable and longest chimney, so this time, he was determined to get it!

The two of them quickly crossed the open space and came to the innermost position against the wall.

There was a square metal stove with an upright iron chimney pipe stuck in one corner of the stove.

The chimney pipe extends upward for two metres before turning to the side and extending more than three metres to protrude out of a round hole in the wall of the house.

"That's it! Grab it!" Yu Hong's eyes lit up and he rushed forward and grabbed the chimney pipe.

*Puff*

He exerted force but there was no movement.

He looked down.

The chimney pipe was welded to a corner of the square furnace and could not be moved.

Just as he was about to use more force, he suddenly saw out of the corner of his eye that a small door leading to the bedroom in the corner of the room quietly opened.

Inside the door, in the darkness, stood a figure in grey whose face could not be seen clearly.

The figure stood motionless in the darkness, looking over here.

At the same time, a chilling aura even stronger than before rushed out from the small door of the bedroom.

"Yiyi!!" In a hurry, Yu Hong shouted, clenched the enhanced white stone in his hand, tensed his muscles, and began to aim.

At the same time, he glanced at the stuttering Yiyi behind him again.

But--

"!!!?"

There was no one behind him.

Not only was Yiyi gone, but the stove and the chimney were all gone.

Yu Hong turned his head again and immediately saw the little stutterer holding the stove, dragging the chimney pipe, running to the door of the house, and about to go out.

The heavy stove was heavy for him but in the little stutterer's hands it didn't feel like it was heavy at all.

"Run! Yu!" The little stutterer rushed into the sunlight, only to find that Yu Hong did not follow her out. She looked back in confusion and saw that Yu Hong was still in the same place without moving, so she immediately screamed.

"."Yu Hong was speechless.

But at this time he had been spotted by the Shadow.

The feeling of coldness and stiffness surged up again, trying to freeze his entire body.

The power that strengthened the white stone continued to flow out, fighting against the stiffness.

"I"

"I!!"

Yu Hong was trembling all over, standing there unable to break free, holding the strengthened white stone tightly in his hand. He was like a machine that was about to fall apart.

Sweat oozed from his forehead and temples, his pupils had already dilated, and the intense fear was like a tide that almost drowned his heart.

'I am really scared.'

'horrible'

'Why, why is there such a horrible thing here?!'

'Why.'

'Why.'

'Why.'

'Why.'

In an instant, countless whys crawled all over Yu Hong's body and mind like reptiles, filling up all his thoughts and consciousness.

But at this moment he was caught in a strange confrontation. The power of the shadow and the power of the strengthened pyroxene were offsetting each other, and this offset was taking place with his body as the battlefield.

In this stiffness.

Yu Hong suddenly felt that there seemed to be movement behind him.

*Click*

He heard a small sound.

It was like the sound of shoes stepping on the mud in the house.

The rustling sound and the sound of shoes walking came one after another, and seemed to be slowly approaching from behind.

The footsteps were rhythmic, neither fast nor slow, and they moved straight towards Yu Hong.

Then, the wooden door of the house began to close silently, slowly shutting out the bright sunlight and the little stutterer from outside.

Yu Hong was extremely frightened. He was trembling all over. He stood there with tears and sweat streaming down his cheeks.

But at this moment, he could do nothing but watch the door of the house slowly close.

Helpless

A strong feeling of helplessness continuously surged from the bottom of his heart.

"I" He opened his mouth, wanting to speak.

*Snapped*

Suddenly, a hand grabbed his hand tightly from behind!

Ah!!!

All of a sudden, Yu Hong felt as if struck by lightning and he let out a shrill scream.

He suddenly jumped up in frustration, pulled out a wooden stick as thick as his arm from his trouser leg, and smashed it backwards.

The stick was hammered with numerous steel nails and inlaid with three pieces of strengthened white stone.

At this moment, Yu Hong, who was terrified to the extreme, swung his 'sword', making a dull whistle in the air.

Amid the noisy sound of breaking air, there was a loud bang.

BANG!!!

The wooden stick hit the white figure behind Yu Hong hard, splitting it in two, and it leaked into pieces and evaporated.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

Yu Hong picked up the wooden stick, turned around and without stopping, rushed towards the other grey shadow behind the bedroom door.

soon--

BANG!!!

Another loud noise was heard.

The wooden stick smashed madly into the wooden door frame, leaving a deep dent.

And the grey shadow was immediately shattered by this fierce counterattack, turning into a piece of grey cloth, scattered all over the ground, and evaporated and disappeared.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!!

At this time, Yu Hong's eyes were bloodshot, and he was still smashing the grey shadow madly with the steel nails and wooden sticks.

He didn't come to his senses until the door frame started to loosen and shake with flying wood chips.

Seeing the shadow disappear, he quickly rushed out of the house with the wooden stick and returned to the sunlight.

*Pant*

*Pant*

*Pant*

He slowly bent over and squatted on the ground while panting heavily.

The little stutterer at the side looked at him blankly, not knowing how to comfort him.

She was just about to rush in to save Yu Hong, but when she saw Yu Hong's sudden outburst, she was also frightened. She could only stand there at a loss, waiting for the final result.

As a result, Yu Hong rushed out by himself, smashed the two shadows into pieces violently, and then, with an expression of extreme fear, he rushed out of the door and squatted on the ground gasping for breath

.

 "Yu" the little stutterer waited for a while, then asked hesitantly in a low voice.

"I'm sorry." Yu Hong's voice was trembling and he was sweating all over, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

"I was just too scared"

He calmed down for a while and his emotions settled down a little.

He stood up slowly, turned around and looked at the little stutterer.

At this moment, his expression looked painful, helpless and pitiful.

" They. They scare me. "

He was waving his wooden stick in his hands, as if he was expressing his strong emotions through body language.

' I was so scared '

Yu Hong's face trembled.

"So, I can only smash them to death. I know what I am doing. But if I don't smash them to pieces, I'm afraid they will chase me out!" He hurriedly said to YiYi.

"No, it's okay." The little stutterer blinked her eyes. She was forced to take a step back when he was swinging wooden sticks. She felt a little scared.

"Now, it's okay, let go, relax. Let go, relax!!" The little stutterer raised her hands and said again trying to comfort him.

Yu Hong also knew at this time that something was wrong with him, and he began to take deep breaths.

Inhale~

Exhale~

After doing this for thirty times. He finally felt much calmer.

' Fortunately, fortunately I have made all preparations in advance.' He put down the thick wooden stick and felt a wave of fatigue in his body.

He is a person who will make every possible effort to prepare before doing anything.

Just like this time when he entered the house to grab the chimney pipe, he had allocated the few pieces of strengthened white stone he had in advance.

The three pieces were inlaid on a wooden stick. Actually, it was just digging holes and tying them up with ropes.

Now it seems that this method has been very useful.

"Are you okay?" The little stutterer looked at him cautiously and asked.

"Sorry." Yu Hong shook his body helplessly, "I was too excited."

"." The little stutterer shook her head, indicating that she was not scared. "Actually, I have seen it before."

She picked up the stove and chimney pipe and walked back with Yu Hong.

She also talked about people she had met before.

From her, Yu Hong learned that there were people like him who had fallen into extreme fear in the past.

Some of them, like him, would explode madly and rebel.

But Yu Hong is different from them.

If those people resist, they will only exhaust their energy and become exhausted, putting themselves in greater danger.

But after smashing the shadow, Yu Hong ran away and did not relax until he reached a safe area.

In reality, when people explode under extreme emotions, it is unlikely that they will know how to hold back their strength.

But Yu Hong did it.

Not only did he smash the shadow, he also retained the strength to turn around and run.

This makes him very special.
