Change Two (Thank Cyanobacteria God Descends to Earth Alliance Master)

Gradually, Yu Hong began to feel his body heating up, and he was sweating slightly all over. He tried hard to swing his arms, combining it with the movement of his whole body.

In his mind, he also visualized the diagram of that Advanced Physical Training Method.

Unconsciously, his body became more and more tired.

This feeling only lasted for a few minutes, and then! A tiny, extremely weak coolness appeared on the soles of his feet.

That coolness seemed to be formed by the gathering of many tiny particles from the body.

Yu Hong could clearly feel countless numb and itchy spots gathering from around his soles, eventually forming that trace of coolness.

His feet kept running, but his soles began to continuously flow cool air upwards.

The air current slowly moved upwards, and with his running movements, it naturally flowed into his crotch, then to his waist, chest, and finally his head.

Two streams of cool air gathered into a ball at the top of his head, and then flowed down along the back of his head, quickly returning to the soles of his feet, forming two circles.

Strangely, when the two streams of cool air completed their first large circle, Yu Hong suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and the previous fatigue was greatly reduced.

Before long, he stopped to add firewood to the Fireplace, and also carefully experienced the feeling of the Advanced Physical Training Method.

That night, no Big Hide crashed into the door, only a massive number of Black Worms kept pouring in, as if endless.

Unconsciously, the sky brightened.

Yu Hong stopped his movements, glanced at the bed that was being strengthened, and began to sweep up the ashes, eat, drink water, and relieve himself.

After waiting a while longer and listening to the Radio, the strengthening time finally arrived.

Standing by the cotton quilt, Yu Hong quietly watched, watching the countdown slowly reach zero.

Whoosh!!

A momentary distortion.

The entire stinky quilt was a blur for a moment, and then it became clear in a blink of an eye.

What appeared before Yu Hong's eyes was no longer a simple quilt.

But a gray-white sleeping bag with a zipper and a hood! The material had changed from cotton to an unknown light material, and Yu Hong reached out and pinched it.

Soft and gentle, with a fragrance similar to that of insect repellent.

"All that's missing is a lot of water for a bath," Yu Hong looked at the Mountain Cave, which was much more comfortable than when he first arrived.

"How can I get a lot of water?" This was a very troublesome question.

A simple supply of water for survival was enough, but a large amount of water could only be solved by relying on wells and streams.

Right, since anything can be strengthened, what about wells? Can wells also be strengthened!? Suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind.

Pressing this thought in his heart, he drank a glass of water, got up and took out a small bag of Dried Meat. Strengthening Dried Meat was the most cost-effective thing to do when he had nothing else to do.

A bag of ten pieces only took 1 day and 8 hours, and the strengthened Protein Bar could last for ten days. Compared to only lasting two or three days before strengthening, it was much better.

For the next two consecutive days, Yu Hong did not leave again, but concentrated on exercising in the Mountain Cave.

Protein Bar mixed with Dried Mushroom and wild vegetables was his daily meal.

Adding water to boil a pot of soup saves even the time of boiling water.

In the blink of an eye, the six-day High Tide Period finally passed.

On the last day, two more Big Hides came to ram the gate, but they were blocked by the repaired and reinforced gate.

It could be considered a narrow escape.

At this point, this small Safe House could be considered to have truly achieved its purpose of ensuring safety.

After surviving the High Tide Period, Yu Hong calculated the remaining food. All the Dried Meat had been strengthened into Protein Bars, totaling twenty-six, followed by Dried Mushrooms and Dried Wild Vegetables.

Yu Hong also used the Black Mark to strengthen them into similar Nutritional Bars. According to the instructions, one bar a day could ensure the replenishment of all trace elements, as well as dietary fiber and the like.

Wild vegetables were everywhere in the forest, so there was no shortage of them. The main concerns were Dried Meat and water.

After the High Tide Period, Yu Hong wandered in the forest during the day, looking for streams, exercised his body at night, practiced the Advanced Physical Training Method, and then rested by the Fireplace.

Life became simple and rhythmic.

Occasionally, Eerie Shadows would probe, but they were all blocked by the Big Glowstone.

Regarding the name of the strengthened Glowstone, Yu Hong was more satisfied with the name Big Glowstone, which the United Army in Town used, so he simply named it Big Glowstone.

And so, the days passed peacefully, one after another.

In the blink of an eye, twenty days passed.

There wasn't much food left in the Safe House. Only six Protein Bars remained, and they needed to be replenished.

Bang.

Yu Hong closed the door, holding a black metal spiked club in his hand, and glanced around.

Half a month of exercise had given his body a bit of meat. He wasn't as thin as before.

And the vitality in his eyes was also significantly better, slightly sharp.

Most importantly, he hadn't been idle these days. First, the Steel Nail Glowstone Rod in his hand had been strengthened into a new weapon with a harder material, lighter weight, and a hidden compartment for loading Glowstone.

This spiked club also had a non-slip hand strap that could be tied to the arm to prevent it from falling off.

Three Big Glowstones were secretly hidden in the three compartments in the middle of the club, which could not be discovered without opening the switch.

In addition, the dark green stab-resistant suit that Yu Hong was wearing was made from the hoodie that Jenny had sold him, strengthened.

Although it took a little long, it was worth the money.

Because two hard wooden boards were added to the front and back of this stab-resistant suit before strengthening, it also had a certain bulletproof function.

As long as it wasn't a close-range shot, it could greatly reduce damage. Not to mention knife stabs.

The remaining time was spent strengthening the Big Glowstone. Including the previous one, he now had five in his hand.

Huff. Yu Hong exhaled, and when he saw his breath fly out and turn into a white mist, he immediately knew that the temperature had dropped again.

He reached out and pulled up the hood of his stab-resistant hoodie, which also had rainproof and warmth-keeping functions.

"I still need stab-resistant gloves and a bulletproof helmet. I can ask about them in exchange for Dried Meat. Also, the salt is running out. I wonder if the Postman is back. If I can get the solar equipment, then electricity won't be a problem..."

Yu Hong lowered his head, jumped off the stone steps, and walked towards the Post Office.

He had to hurry, because recently he had clearly noticed that the days were getting shorter and the nights were getting longer.

"Maybe autumn and winter are coming soon," Yu Hong comforted himself.

His feet were clad in reinforced boots, advancing step by step through the forest, his mind constantly alert to his surroundings.

Twenty days of training had greatly improved his physical fitness.

The coolness generated by the Advanced Physical Training Method generally didn't help him much.

Only when he was on the verge of exhaustion would the coolness appear, restoring his tired body.

This was equivalent to a supply pack.

Apart from that, this training method was not much different from ordinary jogging.

Although this made Yu Hong a little disappointed, he was not in a hurry. As long as he practiced well in the future, he could rewrite and strengthen the existing training method with his current experience and understanding.

If possible, he even wanted to find professionals to learn from.

Crack, crack.

With the sound of footsteps mixed with the cracking of crushed branches and leaves, Yu Hong quickly arrived at the entrance of the Post Office Stone House.

To his surprise, there were already quite a few people in front of the Stone House.

Among the seven or eight people, he spotted Jenny at a glance.

This middle-aged woman who had traded with him was very conspicuous. Of course, it wasn't really her who was conspicuous, but a beautiful girl beside her, who was very eye-catching.

With a shapely and curvy figure, long legs clad in stonewashed white tight jeans, full breasts, a delicate face with light makeup, and smooth golden hair draped over her shoulders.

This girl stood out in this woodland, surrounded by dirty people.

She was so clean that she didn't seem to belong in this environment.

Yu Hong's arrival made everyone a little nervous.

Gazes quickly gathered on him.

"It's Yu Hong?" Jenny was the first to stand up. "What did we trade last time?"

"Water Filter Cup and Steel Nails," Yu Hong quickly replied, while walking back and forth a few steps to show that his limbs were flexible and he was not an Eerie Shadow.

"It's that kid who was rescued by Yi Yi!" A familiar voice came from the crowd.

A middle-aged woman in an old white coat walked out, wearing black-rimmed glasses.

It was Doctor Xu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Doctor Xu is back too?" Yu Hong asked in surprise.

"Why wouldn't I come back? The environment in Town, being caught and doing hard labor every day, and not getting paid for seeing patients. A bunch of thugs, they'll beat you if you raise your voice!" Doctor Xu said unhappily.

She always spoke harshly and unpleasantly, but at this time it made Yu Hong feel a little better.

At least, seeing familiar people was fine, at least the other party had helped him. Although it was using Yi Yi's favor.

"It's good you're back safe." Yu Hong nodded, his voice gentler.

Seeing that it wasn't an Eerie Shadow but someone they knew, the others stopped paying attention and continued to peer at the Stone House of the Post Office.

Yu Hong walked closer, nodded to Jenny, and then stood with Doctor Xu.

Naturally, he was more familiar with Doctor Xu than with Jenny, whom he had only traded with once.

Although this woman had a foul mouth, she was grateful and loyal. If she hadn't pulled Little Stutterer away when Big Hide attacked them, Little Stutterer would be a cold corpse by now.

"This is the first time I've seen so many people since I came here," Yu Hong said softly.

"You'll see more if you go to Town. More people isn't necessarily a good thing," Doctor Xu said coldly.

Getting closer, Yu Hong could see that one lens of the woman's glasses was cracked.

There was also a bruise on the corner of her left mouth, indicating she had been hit.

"What's everyone gathered here for? Has the Postman returned?" Yu Hong asked.

"He has. He came out just now and brought back a message. Town is preparing to evacuate people to the larger Hope City. They're leaving the day after tomorrow. Anyone who wants to go with them needs to have certain skills and can go to Town to be assessed. If they pass the assessment, they can go together," Doctor Xu explained indifferently.

"What about ordinary people? What about so many ordinary people?" Yu Hong frowned.

He wasn't a saint, but such a policy would inevitably lead to unrest.

After all, ordinary people far outnumbered professionals.

"I don't know. But a few days ago, a murder occurred in Town. More than twenty people died. It wasn't an Eerie Shadow, it wasn't Blood Tide insects. They can't figure out the cause. I suspect it's the newly emerged Evil Shadow," Doctor Xu replied.

"What about you? Are you going to go?" Yu Hong asked.

"I'm not going. I won't live much longer anyway. I can't be bothered to go through the trouble. This damn world... I might as well just stay here and wait to die," Doctor Xu said coldly.

Her family was gone, and she was just living one day at a time.

When asked if she wanted to go, Doctor Xu suddenly looked at Yu Hong.

"What about you? Are you going?"

"I'm not going," Yu Hong replied calmly.

"Weirdo." Only then did Doctor Xu notice the elaborate set of equipment on Yu Hong.

"That's quite a getup you have... Where did you get it?" Since the Big Hide rescue, her perception of Yu Hong wasn't as extreme as before, and her attitude was much better.
