039 Secret Three

Jenny said these words very easily, but the look in her eyes was quite cold.

"Do you want to try? Try if we can destroy your Safe House?"

For a moment, all three people inside and outside the door fell silent.

Yu Hong was silent, his face changing, obviously thinking and hesitating.

After a long silence, he slowly opened his mouth.

"This kind of transaction is not reasonable. I want to know, why are you so sure that with my help, you can get rid of the Withered Woman and Evil Shadow's attack? Can you survive?"

Outside the door, Jenny's face remained unchanged. She took down her water bag and took a sip. The moment she heard these words, she knew that the other party had the intention of compromising.

"This is also one of my husband's previous researches. I can give it to you as a condition of exchange as compensation. But the premise is that you must help us through this difficult time."

"...How are you going to get through it?" Yu Hong asked.

"Large Glowstone! Enough Large Glowstone will do!" Jenny replied.

"I can only give you three at most. This is all my stock." Yu Hong replied, frowning.

"Three should last for a while. As long as we don't face them head-on, we can last a long time!" Jenny said quickly, with a hint of joy on her face.

"But how can I guarantee that you will keep your promise and tell me the secret of avoiding the Evil Shadow?" Yu Hong said.

"...Like this, I'll tell you part of it, and then you put two pieces outside the door, we'll take them ourselves, and then I'll tell you the last part. Then you give me the last piece." Jenny said quickly. "This is more unsafe for us, but it can guarantee your benefit, how about it?"

"Okay." Yu Hong was silent for a while, and answered affirmatively.

He got up, walked to the corner of the Mountain Cave, and found his reserve of Large Glowstone, a total of five.

The Wolf Tooth Club and the Wooden Door often need to be replaced, so there are only a few complete Large Glowstones. After all, he has been studying the Symbol Array during this period, and the Black Mark cannot spare time to manufacture and restore the less cost-effective Large Glowstone.

Taking out three of them, he returned behind the door and sat down beside the stone wall.

"I've brought the things. You step back."

"Okay." Jenny was much more stable at this time. She pulled her daughter down the stone steps with a stick and retreated backwards.

From a distance, the two carefully stared at the Mountain Cave's Wooden Door, paying attention to all its movements.

About half a minute later, the Wooden Door slowly made a crisp cracking sound, and then, the door panel was slowly opened, revealing a gap.

A hand holding a Large Glowstone, gently placed it on the ground outside.

This is the first piece.

The hand retracted, and then took out the second piece, and put it next to the first piece.

Crack.

The door closed again.

"Go!" Jenny's face showed joy, and she quickly stepped forward, went up the stone steps, and picked up the two Large Glowstones on the ground.

"Now can you tell me, how do you avoid the Evil Shadow?" Yu Hong's voice came from behind the door.

"I can tell you half." Jenny glanced at her daughter, who also had a happy expression, and signaled her to step back a little.

"Eerie Shadows and Evil Shadows are actually the same; before attacking living people, they will cause a series of precursors. And we can detect these precursors through instruments, so as to make predictions in advance, make some preparations, and prevent them from successfully appearing to attack."

She paused and continued.

"According to my husband's research, using the Red Value Detector, as long as the red value is maintained within a certain numerical range, it will cause the Eerie Shadow to hesitate, waver, and be indecisive."

"Do they have intelligence?" Yu Hong asked.

"Not sure," Jenny replied. "Anything else to ask?"

"How do you know the red value range of the Evil Shadow?" Yu Hong squinted.

"Based on the average intensity of the Eerie Shadow's value, adjust upwards, it's not difficult. The difficulty lies in how to stabilize this value. Generally, whether it is an Eerie Shadow or an Evil Shadow, before they appear, they will cause the red value to skyrocket, reaching the upper limit. This is the fundamental reason why we need your Large Glowstone," Jenny said quickly.

"Finally, Sunshine One..." Yu Hong reminded.

"The secret to avoiding the Evil Shadow's pursuit, exchanging three Large Glowstones is more than enough," Jenny said coldly. "If you want Sunshine One too, you need more Large Glowstones in exchange!"

"I have some more questions. If you are willing to answer, I can give you another Large Glowstone," Yu Hong continued.

"Four? Okay, but I need to judge the value of the questions."

"Okay!"

The two quickly reached an agreement again.

"Now, first tell me the red value for you to avoid the Evil Shadow. I'll add the third Large Glowstone," Yu Hong said.

"Okay, the red value to avoid the Evil Shadow is between 120 and 140! As long as you stay within this range, the Evil Shadow will be at a node where it is about to appear but cannot appear, but this node will continuously consume and release red value. After maintaining it for half an hour, the Evil Shadow will retreat," Jenny replied very readily.

"Okay, step back a bit, and I'll give you the third one!" Yu Hong was also very straightforward. Although he wouldn't really believe it, at least it had reference value.

"Okay," Jenny responded and slowly stepped back.

But this time, she didn't really step back far, but went around half a circle and hid to the left of the Wooden Door.

Then, with a single grab, she easily climbed onto the wall to the left of the Mountain Cave Wooden Door, like a rock climber.

After doing this, she fixed her body, and with her right hand, she pulled out a black dagger from her lower back and aimed it at the Wooden Door.

As long as the Wooden Door opened, she could jump down from this position and instantly block the person inside.

With her professional fighting skills, it would only take a few seconds to subdue a thin man like Yu Hong.

Time passed second by second.

Soon.

Click.

The Wooden Door gently opened a crack.

The crack became bigger and bigger, until it was wide enough to extend a hand and take out the width of the Large Glowstone.

At this moment, Jenny jumped down from the side, grabbed the Wooden Door hard, and squeezed her body inside.

As long as she could squeeze behind the door, with her fighting ability, a mere Yu Hong... Click.

A Handgun was raised, aiming at her chest.

Just as Jenny jumped into the Mountain Cave, about to pounce and subdue Yu Hong,

a dark gun muzzle was already raised, aiming at her.

The muzzle was motionless, only a dozen centimeters away from her chest. The person holding the gun was Yu Hong.

His expression was calm as he reached out and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Bang! Jenny was shocked. Her body retreated sharply, rolling out of the doorway sideways, landing on the ground with a thud, scattering drops of blood.

She had been hit on the right side of her chest at such close range. She had to thank the other party's terrible marksmanship, or perhaps they were not clear about the recoil of the Handgun.

This negligence gave her the only chance to live! Jenny was completely numb!

That guy actually had a gun!?? If he had a gun, why was he so cowardly!? So pretentious!? Her mind was in chaos, and for the first time, she truly experienced the sinister nature of people's hearts!

Yu Hong's purpose and intentions rolled through her mind again and again, but she couldn't figure out why he was doing this.

Struggling to get up, she took a step and rushed to her daughter's side, grabbing the wooden stick in her daughter's hand.

"Go!!" she said sharply.

The severe pain made her face twist slightly. But this pain also made her spirit more and more calm.

She had been caught off guard this time. When she went back and treated her injuries, she would have plenty of ways to kill Yu Hong.

As long as he still had to go out to collect firewood, fetch water, and find food, she would have a way to sneak attack and kill him. If that didn't work, the last few chemical poison powders left by her husband could kill people invisibly with a few sprays into his ventilation holes!

The two quickly ran into the distance.

Bang! Another gunshot.

Jenny fell in response, collapsed on the ground. At her lower back, a patch of blood was slowly staining her clothes, expanding the area.

Eve, who was beside her, was pulled down to the ground with her.

Seeing her mother's injury, Eve was obviously stunned.

After a few breaths.

She trembled all over, reaching out to touch her mother, but dared not because of the Eerie Shadow infection.

"Run!" Jenny propped up her face and said palely to her daughter.

Seeing that her daughter didn't respond, she mustered all her strength.

"Run!!" she shouted, stuffing two Large Glowstones into her hands.

"Stop, squat down!" Yu Hong's voice came from behind.

He was still holding the gun, aiming at Eve, approaching step by step.

But Eve was obviously panicked, grabbed the Large Glowstones, turned around and fled.

She didn't even look at her mother on the ground, frantically rushing towards the distant woods, stumbling, falling and getting up from time to time, without looking back, gradually widening the distance.

"If you don't want Jenny to die, stand where you are and don't move!" Yu Hong walked behind Jenny with his gun and shouted loudly.

The sound spread out in circles, echoing in the forest.

But unfortunately, Eve remained unmoved, as if she hadn't heard anything at all, and continued to rush forward, quickly disappearing into the depths of the woodland.

Yu Hong lowered his Handgun and looked down at Jenny on the ground. This fellow had already shed a large pool of blood on the ground, dyeing a small patch of the surrounding grass red.

Looks like she's not going to make it.

"Anything you want to say?" he said coldly.

Unlike the first time he killed someone with his own hands a long time ago, he now seemed to have adapted to the basic rules of this era and environment.

"Eve... she will survive..." Jenny's pupils were already a little unfocused. "She will... survive... and avenge... me..."

"That's a nice thought." Yu Hong said expressionlessly, no longer looking at her, and quickly chased after her in the direction of the Bunker where Jenny and Eve lived.

He ran with all his might, chasing all the way.

Finally, when he used the second cool breath.

Bang!!

A thick Wolf Tooth Club slammed heavily into the back of Eve's head, knocking her to the ground.

In the woods, in the meadow thirty or forty meters away from the Post Office, Yu Hong caught up with Eve.

Looking at the girl on the ground, dizzy, he looked around, stepped forward, and pried the two Large Glowstones from her hands.

Of course, not with his hands, but with the Wolf Tooth Club.

Eve had been infected by the Evil Shadow Withered Woman, and who knew if direct physical contact would also be contagious.

"Goodbye," he whispered to the girl.

"No, don't!!" Eve struggled, her voice like a mosquito, tears streaming down her cheeks like a broken string.

Bang! Several more muffled sounds.

Yu Hong turned and left with the Wolf Tooth Club. Leaving Eve completely unconscious in place.

Blood kept flowing down Eve's forehead, more and more. Yu Hong didn't smash her to death. After all, Eve didn't participate in Jenny's threat. She was just an ignorant child.

Young, she doesn't understand many things.

So, he just broke her limbs and then knocked her unconscious.
