Night of Despair-Chapter 128 - : Mark of 126 Four

Chapter 128: Mark of 126 Four

Just now, Li Rushan had helplessly watched Lin Haini disappear right before his eyes, with a blink that made her vanish completely.

It was as though a frame had been removed from a video, a lively, beautiful woman who had disappeared right in front of him in an instant.

In that moment, he was truly frightened, jumped up, and ran to his daughter’s room. He wrapped her in a luminous stone blanket and ran out with her.

But what he hadn’t expected was that after rushing out of the room, the familiar hallway, the familiar civil defense hallway underground, had become unbearably long and unfamiliar in that moment.

He tried to take the familiar route to the surface, but inexplicably got lost.

The bizarre twisting force made him even more anxious about the situation.

...

In his desperation, he closed his eyes, gripped the talisman plate Yu Hong had given him in one hand, and blindly charged forward.

He finally managed to rush out from underground by following the route he’d subconsciously memorized.

After comforting his daughter, a thick doubt arose in Li Rushan’s mind.

“Why, why didn’t the luminous stone blanket work? Old Zhou had said that at the front line, they too used the luminous stone blankets to hide themselves and managed to retreat safely.”

As he thought this, Li Rushan suddenly heard a faint clicking sound behind him and quickly reached into his chest to pull out a talisman plate, clutching it in his hand.

The lines on the talisman plate slowly turned gray and white, losing effectiveness.

Li Rushan glanced at the talisman plate and then reached into his waist pouch again, soon pulling out a rock shaped like an oval pebble.

Looking at the stone, a reluctant expression appeared on his face, but with imminent danger at hand, if he didn’t use it now, he might never have another chance.

Gritting his teeth, he threw the stone backward with force.

Buzz!!!

Instantly, a point of white light brightened, and an explosion of bright white light erupted behind him, the scorching air current bearing a hint of faint negative radiation, heavily suppressing the white silhouette in the mist for a moment.

But it was just a moment; the silhouette sped up and continued charging toward Li Rushan and his daughter.

Li Rushan hadn’t expected the effect to be so poor. By the time he realized it, it was almost too late, and he hastily rolled on the spot, barely dodging.

Whoosh!

The white silhouette brushed past where he had just been and charged forward more than ten meters before doubling back toward the two.

Crack. Just then, a clear, odd noise came from behind Li Rushan.

At that moment, his nerves suddenly twitched.

“Wait!! Could it be that the thing that appeared in front wasn’t real!? Is the real threat behind me!?”

He suddenly realized.

The being from behind, naturally appears primarily from behind.

Without hesitating, he rolled again with great speed, accurately dodging the direct assault of the white silhouette.

The white silhouette and the being behind him suddenly met.

Pfft.

The white silhouette disappeared all at once, vanishing as if it had never been there.

Crack.

Behind Li Rushan, another crisp sound echoed,

A chilling coldness surged from his back.

He tried to keep running forward, but after just a few steps, his body began to stiffen, and his movements became slower and slower.

“Run!! Move!!” Li Rushan mentally urged his body, desperately trying to make his limbs move.

His whole body tensed, blood flowing faster, his body unconsciously trembling slightly.

But in this world, if one could change reality by sheer will, there wouldn’t be so many people failing…

With this in mind, Li Rushan pulled a silver-black metallic eagle pendant from his neckline.

Holding the pendant tightly, his eyes filled with reluctance, but after only holding it for two seconds, he slowly let go.

Snap.

He yanked the pendant off and threw it behind him.

The surface of the pendant suddenly lit up with a golden, sun-like luster, the brilliant gold, like a bright light suddenly turned on in the dark night.

In an instant, it forced the blurry smiling humanoid figure at Li Rushan’s back to retreat.

Seizing this opportunity, Li Rushan, elated, grabbed Aisena and crazily rushed toward Yu Hong.

After rushing more than ten meters, he suddenly saw a figure rapidly approaching from the side.

“Yu….” he shouted out loud, a joyful expression spreading across his face.

But his joyful expression halted abruptly as he realized the approaching figure wasn’t Yu Hong—it was Zhou Xueguang!

Old Zhou was covered in blood, with half a tattered luminous stone blanket wrapped around his body, one arm dangling limply at his side, his face also bearing an indescribable terror.

And behind him, a second white smiling humanoid figure was also approaching, slowly lifting its head to look toward Li Rushan and his daughter.

The humanoid slightly turned, perfectly blocking the direction in which Li Rushan and his daughter were charging.

The smile on its face was incredibly radiant, its arms opened wide as the air around them twisted invisibly, causing the surrounding Red Value to skyrocket rapidly.

The Red Value radiation in the night seemed to form a giant net, enveloping the three of them.

“No!!!”

Li Rushan wanted to scream, but a wave of utter despair rendered him voiceless.

With beings from behind attacking from both front and rear, the air filled with a freezing terror.

His legs had already stiffened to the point of being nearly unresponsive.

If it were a physical fight, he might have thought of many strategies, but against the assaults of the Evil Shadow…

Li Rushan clenched his teeth and, using all his strength, set his daughter down from his embrace.

“Run!” he screamed with all his might.

Staring at Aisena, who stood frozen in her tracks, he again used all his strength.

“Run!!”

Yet Aisena still stood motionless, dumbly raising her little face, and pointing behind Li Rushan.

“Uncle… Uncle Yu….”

Li Rushan was stunned and turned his head with difficulty.

The first thing he saw was a blurred and distorted smiling face right behind him, just a breath away from touching him.

And crucially, behind this person, there stood a towering black shadow, half a head taller than him.

That was… Yu Hong’s enhanced white bear suit!!

At this moment, the grim and bulky suited figure was holding a dark stick-like object with two fingers, as if embroidering.

Seeing that he had been spotted, Yu Hong smiled slightly at Aisena.

“Hush~~”

He placed his finger to his lips, signaling her to be silent.

Boom!!!

Instantly, the black stick-like object shattered, exploded, and turned into a cloud of black powder that burst outward.

At the same time, an invisible spherical ripple, with Yu Hong at the center, violently spread out across a radius of more than ten meters.

The figure behind Li Rushan suddenly froze, completely motionless.

In that instant, a large hand grabbed their crown, lifted them sharply, and slammed them down!

“Die!!” accompanied by a loud laugh.

Boom!!!

The upper half of the figure was violently smashed into the ground, creating a crater.

Yu Hong lifted him again with one hand and madly smashed him against the nearby ground.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!

Finally, he leaped high into the air, his right arm muscles swiftly bulging and enlarging, he pressed the figure’s face down as they plummeted.

Just then, at the spot where they were about to land, a radiation hand grenade, whose switch had apparently been turned on earlier without anyone noticing, lay on the ground counting down its last second.

Boom!!!

In an instant, Yu Hong’s arm, along with the figure, forcefully plunged into the ground. Meeting the exploding radiation hand grenade, the two forces collided and struck the ground with a tremendous impact.

In the silent aftermath, the figure behind transformed into countless white ashes and vanished without a trace.

Click.

Yu Hong pulled his arm out of the earth, shook the dirt off his body, and looked at the three people who were now speechless.

Then he raised his eyes to the Daoist behind Zhou Xueguang.

His form was blurry and twisted, flickering, and also slowly fading into nothingness.

The high-density negative radiation made it impossible for any shadows or Evil Shadows to approach this area for a while.

“It seems I arrived just in time,” said Yu Hong as he looked at Li Rushan and his daughter, who were sitting on the ground. He stepped forward and stretched out his hand, displaying a friendly smile.

Li Rushan looked at the hand that was bigger than his own, and although it appeared larger due to the suit, he still remembered the first time he had seen Yu Hong.

Back then, he was nothing like he was now… worlds apart.

“This is the third time,” his face showed a mixture of crying and laughing, a complex expression mixed with luck and joy.

“You’ve saved me for the third time….”

Snap.

He reached out and firmly grasped Yu Hong’s offered hand, standing up. He didn’t know what method the other person had used, nor why he had just happened to appear here.

All he knew was that he and his daughter were safe.

“So, what will you give me in return?” Yu Hong joked.

“…I have nothing to give,” Li Rushan wiped the sweat from his brow and held his daughter’s hand tightly.

“How about I offer myself in marriage?”

Yu Hong’s expression stiffened, but he quickly caught on to the other man’s meaning, his eyes brightening.

“Thank you, Uncle Yu,” Aisena also spoke up. “I’ll grow up soon and marry you with my dad.” Her little face was serious as she looked at Yu Hong.

“….That’s a cold joke,” Yu Hong’s mouth twitched as he walked over to Zhou Xueguang and similarly helped him to his feet.

“Are you okay?”

“My hand’s broken, but I’m not dead,” Zhou Xueguang exhaled, his gaze complex as he looked at Yu Hong.

“What did you just use?” he couldn’t help but ask quietly.

“A newly researched radiation hand grenade. How is it, pretty effective, right?” Yu Hong smiled.

“More than effective… In my years on the front lines, I’ve only seen the shadows show that kind of change during massive luminous stone missile bombings,” Zhou Xueguang felt Yu Hong was becoming more mysterious.

He initially thought Yu Hong was just an enhanced human, albeit with a slightly greater extent of enhancement.

But now… the research capability that he displayed far exceeded the strength of physical enhancement.

The shadows had killed countless soldiers of the joint army on the front lines, and Silver Tower had researched for so long without producing a weapon specifically against them. The only method was massive bombings to change the environmental Red Value, forcibly injecting a huge amount of negative radiation weapons. But this guy, with just those two small things… had achieved an exaggerated effect that would have cost Silver Tower in Aurora City at least one local battle’s worth of luminous stone reserves.

“Yu Hong, have you ever considered collaborating with the joint army?” Zhou Xueguang suddenly spoke. “If we had your kind of radiation hand grenade, we might still have a chance….”

“If it were feasible, I would naturally be willing, but…” Yu Hong knew very well how his radiation hand grenades were made. Without Inner Qi, it was impossible to create the core Vortex Talisman Plate, and it also needed a second optimization with the Black Mark.

Essentially, only he in the entire world could produce them, and the output was extremely limited.

“Let’s go, we’ll go to my place together, this place isn’t safe.” Yu Hong grabbed Zhou Xueguang with one hand, signaled to Li Rushan and his daughter, and quickly headed toward the direction of the cave.
