Chapter 6 : Danger (4)

Their eyes met with each other.

An extremely nauseous feeling welled up in his stomach. His abdomen twitched and hurt, and the whole body began to feel numb and stiff uncontrollably. An indescribable feeling of fear surged from his heart and flowed throughout his body.

Black blood vessels began to bulge around his eyes. The blood vessels became thicker and thicker, as if they were about to explode. But at this moment, a cold breath suddenly flowed out of the white stone in his trouser pocket and rushed into the outside of his thigh.

This was like a steel nail being pierced into Yu Hong's body as his whole body began to stiffen.

It pulled him out of his stiffness.

BANG!!

His legs went limp and he fell to the ground helplessly, his eyes breaking away from the other person's gaze.

*Gasp*

*Gasp*

Yu Hong lowered his head and gasped for breath, feeling the stiffness in his body being quickly relieved by the White stone in his trouser pocket.

A strong feeling of surviving a disaster surged in his heart.

Not daring to look out the window again, he quickly took out the strengthened white stone and found that the red symbol on the surface of the stone was emitting an extremely weak red fluorescence.

If you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all.

"What a treasure!" He was glad that he had chosen this white stone as the first one to be strengthened.

Ever since the little stutterer used it to save himself, he realised that this thing was absolutely very important.

Fortunately, he was not wrong.

Sitting on the ground, Yu Hong slowly backed away from the window, not daring to look around. Who would have thought that even a glance at that damn thing would lead to danger?

"But why... Why didn't Little Stutterer and Dr. Xu encounter any danger when they went out?"

'What other defences do they have?'

A trace of doubt arose in Yu Hong's heart.

But soon, the huge consumption made him tired and sleepy again.

' This body is too weak  '

Holding the strengthened white stone tightly in his palm, he climbed back onto the bed and slept on the smelly gray quilt. After waiting for a long time and making sure that nothing outside the doors and windows could get in, he relaxed slightly and fell asleep again.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Maybe a few hours, maybe a whole day.

When Yu Hong woke up again, the little stutterer was already preparing food in the room.

"You're awake?" She noticed the noise and quickly turned her head, happily looking at Yu Hong lying on the bed.

"Come and eat." Soon, she got a bowl of black porridge and started feeding Yu Hong.

Before he knew it, Yu Hong had swallowed the last spoonful of porridge and felt much better.

"Can I get more?" he asked.

The little stutterer got up and searched for it again, but this time, it seemed to be gone.

She searched for a long time but couldn't find any more in her room.

Yu Hong sat up, slowly got out of bed, walked to the sundries corner, and he saw a wooden barrel in which a little stutterer was rummaging through.

It seems that it contains those black raw materials for making porridge.

He held onto the edge of the bucket and looked, and sure enough, there was nothing inside of it.

Gurgle~

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from behind him.

It was from little stutterer.

She blinked her eyes, touched her belly and smiled foolishly.

Yu Hong turned around and looked at her.

"You didn't eat?"

"Hehehe, I forgot." The little stutterer answered with a silly smile.

It turns out that this girl gave him all the remaining food.

Yu Hong felt helpless. He didn't know how this girl managed to survive in such a dangerous environment.

He felt a little guilty.

"What should we do then? Where do you get all this food? Now that I'm feeling better, I can help you find it," he said seriously.

"It's okay. YiYi is very strong!" The little stutterer patted her chest with an indifferent expression.

"I helped you. You helped me find my father and grandfather." She continued to speak out word by word.

"Is this why you saved me?" Yu Hong understood. It was good to have a request. If there is a request, there would be a chance for him to repay the other party.

He doesn't like to owe favours to others, let alone such a life-saving favour.

"Yes!" The little stutterer nodded vigorously.

"Okay! I will definitely help if I have the ability." Yu Hong nodded. Although the environment was too dangerous and harsh, the black mark on the back of his hand also gave him a glimmer of hope for the future.

According to Black Seal's ability, if everything can be strengthened, then he might be able to use this to build a safer hut or base!

After personal testing, the door and window protection of this house can't stop those strange and dangerous things outside.

Whether it was the man in white before, the black bug, or the unknown horror who just disguised itself as Dr. Xu.

Nothing can stop it.

"By the way, I want to ask you something, what happened just now when you were not here." Yu Hong quickly told the other party what happened before.

After hearing the description, the stuttering boy's expression became serious.

"It's a ghost!" she replied.

"Is that also a shadow?" Yu Hong frowned.

"Let me answer this question." Doctor Xu's voice came from outside the door again.

The little stutterer quickly went over, opened the door, and happily welcomed the person in.

Dr. Xu changed her clothes and she was now dressed in mountaineering clothes, a camouflage tights and a large backpack, indicating that she was probably planning to go out into the mountains.

As she walked into the door, she glanced at Yu Hong.

"In our area, there are two kinds of strange shadows that often appear in the black level disaster. One is the white shadow you encountered before, and the second is the imposter you mentioned before."

"The danger level of the white shadow is not too high. As long as you keep an eye on it and don't blink, you can escape safely. And the pyroxene can also restrain it and temporarily disperse it.

But imposters are very troublesome. You must be vigilant all the time and cannot trust anything beyond the agreed situation. "

Doctor Xu stared at Yu Hong seriously and added.

"Agreements are very, very important here!"

"Agreement?" Yu Hong seemed to have thought of something.

"Yes, everyone must make an agreement before separating from their companions. When you reunite, you must agree on the code, what situations you must encounter along the way to open the doors and windows, etc. All of these must be agreed upon in advance. Otherwise, the imposters will take advantage of the situation and kill them one by one." Doctor Xu sighed.

"That's why the residents of Baiqiu Village all live alone. Even during the day, the Impostors may come out and attack."

' Impostors '

This new concept gave Yu Hong a strong epiphany that it may be difficult for him to go back to his original life.

"Can you take me out to have a look? I want to go outside and see if I can go to the city." Yu Hong was silent for a moment and then spoke.

"Take pyroxene, which is the name of white stone. As long as you go out in broad daylight, you will be fine, but you must control the time of your return." Doctor Xu replied, "Also, although the imposters can appear in the daytime, generally only people with weak bodies can see them. If you are healthy and normal, you will not be able to see them."

Yu Hong immediately understood.

"Is there no way or means to kill these monsters!?" he asked in a deep voice.

"No, anyway, we haven't found anything so far, and the national authorities haven't tested it either." Doctor Xu shook her head, "Okay, Yiyi and I are going to go out for a while, if you want to come with us, hurry up. Baiqiu Village doesn't keep useless people, you've been a burden to Yiyi for a long time."

She seemed very dissatisfied with Yu Hong and looked at him with some unfriendly eyes.

"I remember your life-saving grace." Yu Hong said seriously.

"You have to survive on your own first." Doctor Xu sneered, not wanting to look at Yu Hong anymore. She turned around and started talking to the little stutterer.

Soon, the little stutterer began to prepare her things and equipment for going out.

Yu Hong had recovered a lot and joined in the cleanup.

He didn't mention the strengthened white stone. Not to mention that he couldn't explain where the strengthened white stone came from, but judging from the ability of the black seal, this would definitely become his greatest reliance in the future.

He was not sure if other people had this ability, and the information obtained was too little, so the most important thing was to collect as much intelligence as possible first.

' This place is too dangerous. We must be careful at every step '

"I will repay you." Thinking of this, Yu Hong spoke again and repeated it.

Doctor Xu didn't even look at him, pretending not to hear him. Obviously, she thought it was good enough that Yu Hong didn't drag down the stutterer.

Soon, a large cloth bag was brought out and placed on the ground.

Doctor Xu picked it up and carefully placed it on the little stutterer's back. The bag was full of white stones with symbols painted on them.

"First we will go to Lao Yu house to exchange food, then go to the open-pit mine to dig pyroxene, and finally collect pigments. Including the return time, we must reach Lao Yu house within an hour. We can rest at the mine for a night and come back tomorrow after collecting the pigments." Doctor Xu arranged.

"Is it far?" Yu Hong frowned. He felt that there might be something wrong with his physical condition and he had not fully recovered yet.

"Don't go, you can't keep up. Just walk around and come back." Doctor Xu said coldly. "Light the candles at night, hold on to the pyroxene during the day, don't open the door to anyone who comes, don't look outside, and everything will be fine. This is also a test for you. If you can't pass it, it means you can't adapt to this environment and won't live long. It's better to die early and be relieved."

' Isn't this a bit too direct? '

Yu Hong was speechless.

"Yiyi has saved many people. I was also saved by her before, but you know those people..." Doctor Xu wanted to say more, but the little stutterer pulled the corner of her clothes.

She realised what was happening and stopped talking immediately. This time she simply ignored Yu Hong completely, took her things, opened the door, and walked out with the stutterer.

Yu Hong paused behind them. He took the key to the house, and followed after them .

He decided to go outside and take a look.

No matter what, the source of food and drink must be solved first. He can't always rely on a disabled little girl to support him.

And, most importantly, only by understanding more first can he find more effective ways to survive.

With a click, Yu Hong walked out of the door and finally closed the door behind him.

The three of them lined up and walked along the gravel path at the door.

The weather outside is gentle, neither too hot nor too cold, and the sunlight feels slightly warm on their bodies.

Among the three, Dr. Xu walked in front, followed by little stutterer, and then Yu Hong.

After walking along the gravel path for a few minutes, they arrived at the exit of the village.

At the end of the gravel black, there is a black colour road.

The black colour road is wide enough for two cars to drive side by side.

The road was winding through the abandoned green fields on both sides, extending into the distance to the dense and deep forest at the foot of the mountain.

Yu Hong noticed that there were few weeds on the edge of the black road, and two rows of black wooden fences were built.

Many parts of the fence have been rotten and broken, and are covered with moss.

"This is the only old road leading to the outside world," said Dr. Xu. "If we keep following it, it will take about thirty miles to reach the nearest town, but it may be more dangerous than here. The more people there are, the more danger there is, and the more dangerous monsters will be attracted."

"Let's go." She took the lead and walked out of the gravel road and onto the black road.
