Jenny glanced at Dr. Xu and found that she also had an agreeing expression. "Okay, let's go back first. Anyway, the food should be enough to get through this period of high tide." After the three reached an agreement, they began to rush back quickly. They also picked up some dry firewood along the way. It was slow when they went out, but it was much faster when they returned. It took less than 20 minutes for the three of them to successfully return to the post office gathering place. When they were about to separate, Yu Hong suddenly thought of a question and asked. "By the way, Jenny, I remember that it took several days from the time Old Yu came back to the accident, right?" "Yes, it was indeed several days." Jenny nodded. "Does this mean that even if you are infected, you can delay for several days and infect others." Yu Hong frowned, "Then the question is, what is the transmission method of the black handprint? Do you know?" "Contact, it should be contact." Jenny replied. "As long as you touch the black handprint, or an individual with a black handprint, you may be infected." "I understand." Yu Hong nodded, holding the things and looking at Dr. Xu. "Since it is a contact infection, then who did Old Yu come into contact with when he just came back?"
"." The other two were silent. When they thought about it carefully, they were a little scared. As a butcher, Old Yu had contact with almost everyone. So, any of them could be infected. "Let's check again, everyone be careful." Yu Hong paused and looked at the stone house. "In addition, there is one more thing." "Mom!" Suddenly, Eve's voice came from not far away. She looked a little haggard. She changed into a thin gray sweater and black trousers and walked towards this side quickly. After running closer, she didn't even look at the food in her mother's hand, but glanced at it. The first thing she saw fell on Yu Hong, and a touch of joy appeared in her eyes. She immediately walked towards Yu Hong quickly. "Brother Yu Yu." She squeezed out a sweet smile, straightened her chest, and faintly highlighted the curves of her body. "I heard that you can make big pyroxene. I wonder how many pieces you have now? Can you sell me more?" "Eve!" Jenny was a little uncomfortable and scolded. "It's okay. Brother Yu is a good man. Mom doesn't have to worry." She took another step forward calmly and reached out to hold Yu Hong's hand. "Stop!" Yu Hong suddenly stepped back, his eyes were cold, and he kept his distance. "I want to ask a question." He stared at Eve. "What... What question!?" Eve was frightened by his loud voice and stood there without daring to continue. Jenny on the side stared at Yu Hong vigilantly, her hand quietly placed on the handle of the knife on the outside of her thigh. She was worried that Yu Hong might hurt her daughter. After all, there are too many people who live alone and have mental problems these days. Dr. Xu said nothing, also holding the handle of the short knife tied to his waist, quietly approached Yu Hong, his eyes staring at Eve and Jenny. Obviously, she trusted Yu Hong more than Jenny and her daughter. For a moment, the four people split into two sides, with a hint of confrontation. "Don't be nervous, I just want to ask a question." Yu Hong took a step back and motioned Dr. Xu to distance himself.
"The footprints at the door of the stone house of the post office. In addition to the footprints left by us that day, there is another string. Whose are they?!" His eyes fell on Jenny and Eve. "Don't lie. I remember all the traces of the footprints after we left that day, especially the shape. But when I came here today, I found that the footprints were wrong. There must be someone who went in and out of the stone house more than once!" As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three people changed immediately. Jenny and Dr. Xu were confused and frightened, while Eve was simply panicked. Jenny glanced and immediately found that her daughter was wrong. She was too familiar with her daughter. Whenever Eve panicked, her body would be stiff, she would lower her head slightly and dare not look at people, and her hands would unconsciously stick to the outside of her thighs, wiping the sweat from her hands. "Eve!!" She screamed suddenly, and her voice continued to stir in the woods. "Is it you!?" She gritted her teeth and stared at her daughter in shock, her eyes were a little bloodshot, staring at her, hoping that her daughter would answer no. But Eve's reaction made her original hope fall rapidly, fall through, and turn into despair! Puff. Eve covered her face with both hands and stood there, her face pale. After a long while, she slowly turned around. Sure enough, the three of them vaguely saw a small black handprint on her left hip. Why did she change into black pants? The purpose was obviously to cover up the black handprint that gradually appeared on her body. If Yu Hong hadn't questioned it, Eve herself couldn't stand the questioning, and the three of them couldn't see where the handprint on the black pants was without looking carefully. Seeing this handprint, Yu Hong and Dr. Xu left quickly without saying a word. "We found the food this time. Let's disperse and calm down for a while." Yu Hong said quickly. "Jenny." Doctor Xu called out. She saw that Jenny didn't seem to have any intention of staying away from her daughter. So she couldn't help but remind her. "If one person is infected, maybe he can still rely on the big pyroxene to block it, but two people are different!" She paused, "And." Doctor Xu stared at Eve with a stern look. "Keep an eye on your daughter." Her words were quite impolite. Jenny was stunned for a moment, her eyes red, as if she didn't hear the reminder, she just turned her head and looked at her daughter. She stood there, motionless, her chest heaving violently, her back turned to Yu Hong and Dr. Xu, and together with Eve who slowly squatted down, she seemed deaf. Dr. Xu said nothing and quickly left with Yu Hong carrying their things. The two left one after the other and quickly checked each other, circling around to see if there were any black fingerprints on their bodies. After confirming that there was none, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. "Ev must be trying to infect us!" Dr. Xu gritted his teeth. "Why did she do that!?" Yu Hong took out a half-discolored large pyroxene from his chest and exhaled. It was this thing that reminded him just now. Originally, he was not sure who entered the stone house. But after the abnormality appeared in the great pyroxene, he quickly locked the target.
"There must be benefits, otherwise she would not hide it or take the initiative to contact others." Dr. Xu guessed. "I've always felt a little strange." Yu Hong said. "With a character like Eve, why is she so unwary in such a difficult environment? There are shadows and bugs everywhere, hasn't she ever been scared?" "Speaking of this." Dr. Xu revealed a trace of memory, "Eve is indeed different from ordinary people. At the earliest, I remember that when Jenny's family first came here, her father was still there. He was very weak and had no color on his face. No, the old man is very old, at least twenty or thirty years older than Jenny.” "And what?" "Also, at that time, it was rare to see Eve come out. Usually it was her parents who showed up." Dr. Xu recalled. He walked under a tree and leaned against the trunk. "Later, Eve's father suddenly said that he was going out one day, and he never came back. Then Eve started to go out. This girl is very powerful, don't look at her as stupid, in fact she is a language genius, understand He speaks four foreign languages and has a deep understanding of ancient linguistics. I don’t know why his family moved here.” "Are there any other abnormalities?" Yu Hong asked. "One more thing." Doctor Xu suddenly frowned. "No one has ever entered their cave. Others are not allowed to visit. Moreover, during several high-surge periods, everyone almost couldn't survive it, and several people died. But their family has always been fine." "It seems that they have some problems." Yu Hong nodded. Judging from the information obtained by Dr. Xu, they had some hidden secrets. "Definitely. After Ive went to town before, she brought back two men who were pursuing her, but they quickly disappeared. I don't know why, but I always feel that there is something wrong with this girl." Dr. Xu frowned. . "Don't approach them again. If you have any questions, come to me in time. If there is anything unusual, come and tell me in time." Yu Hong took out another large pyroxene from his pocket. "I'll lend you a piece of pyroxene first. Remember to be careful. When the pyroxene changes color, it will emit slight heat. If you carry it close to you, you can tell whether there are dangers in many places." He handed the pyroxene to Dr. Xu. No matter what, this guy is the only medical staff nearby, and he is also an acquaintance of him, and he has a good nature. Help if you can. "Thank you!" Dr. Xu's eyes trembled, and his face showed a hint of emotion. She quickly took the pyroxene and said, "I am researching a herbal medicine, which is basically a mixture of wild herbs and minerals that can be found nearby. It is very helpful for trauma infections. It is almost ready. I will give it to you for free when the time comes. !” "Okay!" Yu Hong's eyes lit up, and he didn't expect there would be extra gains, "Be careful." "I know!" Dr. Xu nodded heavily. The two separated under the tree and returned to their own homes. By the time we returned to the safe house cave, the sky was already dark. Yu Hong put the dry firewood in the corner, lit a fire, and started cooking food. Sitting by the fireplace, he carefully recalled the details of Jenny and Eve, his brows furrowing even more. ‘The evil shadow is getting closer and closer, and it reaches the people around me silently. Eve looks certain to be dead. Jenny and her will die if they are not separated cruelly. In this way, it is estimated that Dr. Xu and I will be the only ones left. The food problem has not been solved yet, so we will reduce the number of two people.' He sighed. I poked the bottom of the firewood with a wooden stick to allow more oxygen to flow in. The red firelight reflected on his face, flickering brightly and darkly. After adding firewood, Yu Hong stood up and checked the talisman array on the wall that was still being strengthened. He has arranged talisman arrays all over the inner walls of the cave. But it is not extreme strengthening, but ordinary strengthening. At this time, talisman arrays were densely covered on all the walls and floors, in order to prevent the evil shadows that could travel through matter from entering the cave. The threat of the evil shadow is close at hand, and he must be prepared to the maximum extent possible. The talisman formations scattered throughout the cave are the first step. The second step is to make a temporary array disk that can be carried and used everywhere. The purpose of making this is to go to other places to find ghost shadows and test the protective range of the talisman array.
How large an area a talisman array can protect is a very important data. Only after determining the area, can he enhance this thing into clothes, weapons and armor, or even himself!
