Night of Despair-Chapter 440 - 438 Exploration II

"Enhanced Moist Wood Liquid."

There was no designated direction for the enhancement, just random strengthening, which can also be called comprehensive strengthening.

A black line flashed, and soon a voice of inquiry came.

At the same time, a countdown also appeared. It settled on the surface of the eye drops.

"4 days, 11 hours, 01 minute."

Yu Hong confirmed the enhancement and immediately stepped out of the safe house.

Outside, personnel from Hope City who were stationed there came out to salute him.

Inside the Array of the camp, more Hope City liaison officers who had rushed over to stay in the Array were present. They were mostly young women, not only physically attractive but also shapely.

Clearly, Chen Yaofeng had impure motives for selecting them this way.

"Leader, do we need to begin a new round of relocation immediately?" The stationed personnel was a young girl named Ouyang Die, just turned twenty, most of her family had died due to the Black Disaster, only her and her six-year-old sister were left depending on each other. Now, she took on the responsibility to raise her sister and voluntarily joined the army; due to her excellent performance, she had been promoted repeatedly and now served as the liaison officer for the entire Black Wind Camp.

Most older people in Hope City were nearly extinct – people over fifty were rarely seen.

Those who had survived to hold high positions were almost all young adults.

The constant cooling from the Cold Disaster made the air outside completely unbreathable.

Oxygen had also liquified, the outside was coated with a thin layer of pale blue, the color when oxygen becomes liquid.

Those entering and exiting had to wear specially made oxygen tanks.

"Has the Black Disaster basically disappeared?" Yu Hong didn’t answer but asked in return.

"Yes, with the cleaning-up efforts of the Black Light Army, the surrounding area’s Black Disaster has been mostly cleared, but due to the severe worsening of the Cold Disaster, we cannot venture too far from the supply points and can only clean the surrounding areas," Ouyang Die responded.

"Let those at Hope City prepare for coordination. This time I’ve switched to a larger ship to take more people at once," Yu Hong spoke in a relaxed tone.

"Understood!" Ouyang Die nodded vigorously, "Oh Leader, Miss Lin Yiyi has also come here. Do you want to meet her?"

"I know, I’ve already felt it..." Yu Hong nodded, "You go busy yourself."

He had given Yiyi a Heavenly River summoning creature and naturally knew her exact location.

Stepping out of the base, the outside was teeming with weirdly shaped Light Disaster monsters roaming about.

To this day, no monsters had been seen from the Cold Disaster.

Only steadily dropping low temperatures.

Yu Hong’s body was covered with Spirit Light, using the power of the Light Disaster to counteract the Cold Disaster’s incursion, following his precise senses, he quickly arrived at the right side of Black Wind Camp, the site that previously belonged to White Stone Village.

The Black Disaster shadows here had clearly been cleaned up.

Now, on the outskirts, a large strengthened plastic shed had been built.

Inside the shed, a small oxygen electrolysis tower was installed, looking like a white candy gourd, about seven or eight meters tall, planted in the center of the village.

Yu Hong walked to the entrance of the plastic bottle, where a Hope City soldier opened the isolation door for him.

First, enter the isolation door, then a machine scan, disinfection, then open the main entrance door.

As soon as he entered, a clear sound of reading books came from the houses originally in the village.

These houses had previously collapsed and shattered, now all could be seen repaired.

Yu Hong was tall and robust, but he didn’t stand out among the Hope City soldiers anymore.

Because the Hope City soldiers who had practiced Guanwu Skill and Spirit Light Secret Skill, everyone was very large-sized, averaging over two meters.

Furthermore, due to constantly fighting on the edge of danger, each person carried a strong aura of iron and blood.

Yu Hong walked slowly and discovered the place had been completely transformed into a school for children.

He accurately walked towards the rear center of the village, coming to a slightly larger open space.

Finally, he saw Lin Yiyi, who was standing in front of more than a dozen children, teaching a lesson.

Her hair pulled back into a simple ponytail, a few strands scattered down from her cheeks, dressed plainly in a light blue T-shirt and brown long pants.

Her waist and back were still a bit hunched, but much better than before.

Her pretty little face no longer carried various scars and pustules from before. Clearly, the Guanwu Skill and Spirit Light Secret Skill had a very good effect on healing her bodily injuries.

Right now, she looked like an ordinary little girl with a bit of a hunchback.

Her eyes were large, with some sweat droplets hanging on a perky nose, and lips were a vibrant pink representing new life, full of vitality.

After treatment, her figure was more rounded at the chest, showing distinct beautiful curves.

At a casual glance, she looked like a pure young girl of fifteen or sixteen.

While teaching, Yiyi also immediately saw Yu Hong approaching, whispering to the guard soldiers.

"Alright, let’s take a break now, the teacher has a little something to do. Everyone, study and review the content we’ve gone over previously on your own, I’ll be back in ten minutes to quiz you."

She put down her textbook fluently, tidied her temples’ hair, and walked towards Yu Hong.

"When did you get back?" Yiyi, standing at one and a half meters, looked up at Yu Hong. Her tone was relaxed and familiar, as if they were long-unseen good friends with no barriers.

"I just came back, is your stutter gone?" Yu Hong reached out to tousle her hair, kindly speaking.

"Yeah, I had a small operation on my throat, then attended quite a long class on psychological trauma. The doctor recommended I teach more classes to the children, which helps with the recovery, so here I am."

"It looks like your brain’s healed too." Yu Hong’s face showed a smile that was sincerely heartfelt.

"It’s better, the Spirit Light Secret Skill has been a big help in my recovery." Yiyi’s face revealed a radiant smile.

"What’s 15 times 4 plus 17?" Yu Hong asked.

"..." The smile on Yiyi’s face gradually faded.

She bowed her head, unconsciously fiddling with her fingers as she began to calculate.

A minute went by.

She still hadn’t figured it out.

Three minutes passed.

Sweat began to form on her forehead.

"Forget it, stop calculating, tell me, what have you been teaching the children?" Yu Hong maintained a smile as he tousled Yiyi’s hair again.

Upon hearing that she didn’t need to calculate, Yiyi immediately heaved a sigh of relief and looked up with a sweet smile.

"I’ve been teaching syllable enlightenment."

Pinyin...

Yu Hong nodded, seeing her like this, he figured she could only teach this...

"Don’t underestimate me!" Yiyi, with her keen senses, immediately frowned. "I am also a PE teacher!"

"Not bad, not bad." Yu Hong nodded, this was more suitable.

"What are you planning to do when everyone has moved away?" he continued to ask.

Yiyi’s expression didn’t change, obviously, she had considered this question a long time ago.

"I’ll stay here by myself. It’s okay, just come and visit me when you have time. There are so many houses, so many things, all for me to use, I will definitely be very happy."

She revealed a sincere smile.

Yu Hong did not respond immediately.

Yiyi’s situation was different from the others.

She herself was part of the key to close the Gate of Despair of this world.

Specifically, she was actually a container for the monster called Black Disaster.

One was Leiya, and the other was her.

The two of them combined were the complete Black Disaster key.

So, she couldn’t go to the New World because she, the last bit of Black Disaster of this world, had not been completely shut down.

Since the final Gate of Despair could not be shut, it could only be sealed.

Only together with Leiya, merging back into the original form of the Black Disaster key and then pushed back through the first Gate of Despair would Black Disaster completely leave this place, leave this world.

But this matter, neither Yu Hong nor Leiya’s relatives and friends would allow.

So things could only be dragged on.

"What about Leiya?" Yu Hong asked.

"She left a long time ago... She went alone to explore the source of the Cold Disaster, and now there has been no news for over a month," Yiyi answered.

"..." Yu Hong fell silent, looking at Yiyi’s innocent and pure big eyes.

"Come with me on the ship. I plan to explore the depths of the Source Disaster, I need people to help, but now there aren’t many people I can trust, just you..."

"On the ship? But I am a monster, aren’t you afraid I might eat you in the middle of the night?" Yiyi asked in surprise.

Yu Hong was at a loss for words, he could see that Yiyi was serious, she seemed to be teetering between silly and not silly, so her statement just now might really be what she believed.

"It’s okay... I trust you." He said with a smile.

"That’s also true, I feel that you also have many elements of Light Disaster on you, you are also about to become a monster..." Yiyi suddenly sighed.

Yu Hong didn’t say much more, just letting Yiyi think about inviting Leiya to come aboard as well. Both of them had similar fates, and boarding the ship with him was perhaps the most appropriate way out.

Because according to this trend, this world was destined to be completely eradicated by the Cold Disaster.

After chatting for a while, Yu Hong confirmed Yiyi’s current situation.

Her outward appearance was all normal now, and her speech was also clear. But her inner thinking, her logic, still couldn’t match that of normal people.

Anything slightly complex immediately caused her to freeze. On the surface, she seemed like she was fifteen or sixteen years old, but actually, her level of intelligence might only be that of a seven or eight-year-old.

Or even lower, after all, in this era, many seven or eight-year-old children were also very precocious.

In the following days, Yu Hong drove the ship to Hope City. And the official large-scale migration began.

Over the following several days, the enhanced Black Ship, renamed as Black Light by Yu Hong, successfully completed the task of transporting all residents of Hope City.

And Yu Hong officially took Yiyi, Zhang Kajing, Ku Chan, and started the journey of exploring the world of the Taoist Sect.

A massive amount of supplies were moved onto the Black Light, enough for several people to last for more than a decade with all sorts of canned food, drinking water, clothing, everything needed.

Yu Hong handed all affairs to Master Yu Hen, with the Black Light Army assisting, and Qing Huang stayed to stabilize the situation, all was settled well after.

The Black Light, slowly departed the New World, began preparations to explore the depths of the Black Disaster.

Black Wind Base.

The Array had completely retracted. Covering the surface of the secure housing. It was like layers of nets flashing with bright white light.

Yu Hong, Ku Chan, Zhang Kajing, and Yiyi, the four stood at the door. Gazing at the thermal greenhouse space outside that was about to shut down.

"This is the last place, all supplies have been moved over," Yu Hong sighed, "Honestly, giving up everything here, really, feels a bit strange."

The Black Light now belonged to the secure housing, the secure housing from now on might permanently close all entrances and exits here.

Going in and out in the future would mainly be through the Black Light.

"Is there anyone else here?" Ku Chan asked, his expression calm.

"I don’t know. I only know we are not here anymore, maybe there are other Hope Cities, but that’s not my responsibility anymore," Yu Hong shook his head.
