Chapter 125, Polluted Zone 249

After Yun Zhao finished directing the four A-level sentries and rested for a while, Xie Tu came in to announce the start of a meeting.

The meeting was held in the training room.

She didn't even need to move.

They learned that Fuyu's team would also be attending the meeting.

Yun Zhao, concerned about the tantrum-throwing little bluebird, suggested, "Why don't we have the meeting inside and let the little ones play outside?" She had promised the little bluebird yesterday.

Upon hearing this, Fu Qi turned and instructed her teammates to release their spiritual forms.

"They rarely have time to play and frolic, so they don't have to be confined to the mental realm."

Unfortunately, her water unicorn was too big to join the group of little guys.

The sentries were happy to oblige. The little ones were full of energy after the crowd control efforts, so it was good for them to get out and about.

Duan Xijia's peregrine falcon, looking like a little old man, appeared and then wobbled out of the training room.

Upon seeing this, the rest of Team Zero went outside and consciously released their spiritual energy.

The spirits were also happy to come out and play.

The little bluebird raised its head and saw that all sorts of spiritual figures were gradually gathering in the field outside, just as lively as yesterday.

Yun Zhao gently patted it, "Go play."

The little bluebird was incredibly proud, flapping its wings, eager to try.

You're the one who asked me to go.

Yun Zhao nodded, "Yes, I asked you to go."

The little bluebird then flew out of the training room, satisfied.

After much deliberation, it finally chose to land on the lion's head.

The lion's fur is thick and soft, and the feel of stepping on it is very unique, fluffy and particularly comfortable.

This is an experience I've never had before.

The little bluebird was very pleased with the fluffy texture.

It raised its head, proudly surveying its surroundings, its icy blue eyes sparkling with excitement.

The lion of Song Liang's family sensed the presence of the little bluebird. It shook its head slightly and carried the little bluebird to find the tiger from yesterday to fight.

The spirits frolicked and played to their hearts' content in the arena.

Xie Tu calmly prepared the projector for the meeting.

Seeing this, the Fire Phoenix became extremely anxious and threw a tantrum in the spiritual realm, clamoring to come out and play.

I want to play with Qingluan!

Xie Tu: "No way!"

"Don't you have any self-awareness?"

"You're covered in flames, do you even want to leave this training ground?"

【I don't care! Fix it yourself if it burns out!】

Xie Tu rubbed his temples, not wanting to pay attention to it, but it kept making a fuss.

【I don't care! I don't care! I just want to get out!】

Xie Tu said coldly, "You better behave yourself."

Fire Phoenix wasn't afraid of him at all; she seemed genuinely anxious and was determined to force her way out regardless of the consequences.

Xie Tu's face was grim as he used his abilities to suppress it, preventing it from causing trouble.

One person, one spirit, one body—a contest of strength.

From other people's perspective, all they saw was Xie Tu suddenly stop fiddling with the projector and stand there motionless.

Yun Zhao didn't understand those electrical appliances and thought he was waiting for them to be turned on.

They had no idea that their suggestion had sparked such a conflict.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on them.

Xie Tu had no choice but to say to Huo Feng with a cold face, "I'll have Qing Luan come in to help in a few days."

【real? 】

Xie Tu: "Well, if you're not honest, then forget it."

Fire Phoenix immediately stopped causing trouble.

It could only stay in the spiritual realm, watching the Azure Phoenix and the other spiritual beings play.

Go ask her how to shrink; I want to shrink too...

Why can the Azure Phoenix have two forms? This one doesn't.

Xie Tu had been delayed for too long, so he could only say, "I'll ask when I have the chance."

By the time he turned on the projector, everyone in the training room was already seated.

The projector was connected to Song Liang's computer, displaying data provided by the intelligence analysis team.

The six contaminated areas are geographically far apart and cover a large area, roughly the size of a city.

Based on the available information, they are actually quite similar.

Survivors were found to have escaped from two of the contaminated areas, and the information based on their accounts is more accurate.

but……

“In contaminated zone number 249, there is a small base nearby, and many people still live around it. The contaminated zone is spreading towards the base.”

Song Liang typed on the keyboard, staring at the screen, and said, "That area has a relatively intact ecosystem, with great differences between the north and south, and an altitude of about 3,000 meters. It belonged to the old Subei Mongolian Autonomous County."

"Once swallowed by the contaminated area, the survivors living there will likely all suffer."

According to the data, the water resources on the three road sections 247, 248, and 249 are not polluted, the surrounding vegetation is abundant, and many mutant animals have been spotted.

The people living there are far from the four major bases.

They survived the Dark Ages almost entirely by being self-sufficient.

Most ordinary people are unable to undertake long-distance migrations.

The dangers along the way are even greater, with countless polluted areas and mutated creatures.

Especially with winter approaching, the mutated plants and organisms outside will become more active.

For ordinary people, leaving the shelter means almost certain death.

Yun Zhao was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

She thought of their Qingshan Town.

Decades ago, a group of survivors discovered the land and water source and settled in the town, but were forced to leave their home due to an outbreak.

The situations are remarkably similar.

However, the pollution zone near the No. 6 road section where Qingshan Town is located was rated as five-star from the very beginning.

So far, no one has dared to step into the five-star contamination zone.

Xie Tu remained calm and listened attentively to Song Liang's report, without making an immediate decision. "Continue."

“The next one is contaminated zone 213…” Song Liang paused, then said in a low voice, “It’s right next to Team Leader Jiang’s group.”

Two four-star polluted areas are very close to each other and there is a risk of them merging.

The task priority was raised to orange some time ago.

But Jiang Mu and his group had already entered contaminated zone 212.

Once they successfully kill the gatekeeper, the contaminated zone will collapse, and the risk will be temporarily eliminated.

"Number 213 is pending for now. We'll see if Jiang Mu comes out in half a month," Xie Tu said.

Song Liang nodded, "Okay."

Fu Heng looked at the data and information on the large screen, remaining silent.

These eerie polluted areas are constantly devouring human homes and squeezing out humanity's last remaining space for survival.

Regardless of which one it is, they will all be targets they need to eliminate sooner or later.

The current selection process is merely a limited effort to address the areas that pose a slightly greater danger, providing some breathing room for those outside.

Song Liang's voice rang out again: "Next is contaminated zone number 42. There are survivors in this zone, and the data is the most complete..."

The meeting lasted a long time.

Everyone conducts intelligence analysis based on the existing data.

The sentries from Fuh's squad also joined the discussion.

The most dangerous area is pollution zone number 249.

Xie Tu stared at the data, his gaze shifting between numbers 42 and 249.

The final decision was made to "register contaminated area No. 249, with the task scheduled for half a month from now."

"yes!"
