Chapter 136 Save My Dad

Yun Zhao was just a little short of oxygen.

After entering the Subei area, the temperature dropped sharply, and by the time we arrived at the camp, the air was thin at high altitude.

As soon as she got out of the car, she felt cold and had difficulty breathing.

I also feel a bit of chest tightness and am not feeling very comfortable.

He saw Xie Tu walking towards him.

Yun Zhao tilted his head back and asked, "Can we leave after we've finished asking our questions and go into the contaminated area to rest?"

She wasn't sure if she could make it through the night.

The sentries, who were preparing to return to camp, were speechless.

To rest in the contaminated area?

What a niche perspective!

Is this eerie realm a place to rest?

Although she tried to lower her voice, the sentries had sharp hearing and all heard her question.

The expressions on the faces of the group of people were quite interesting.

Even Battier couldn't hold back.

All eyes immediately turned to her.

The little bluebird sensed that its main body was unwell, so its figure gradually solidified and glared back at them one by one in a fit of rage.

[Trash, what are you looking at!]

Let's go, let's go now!

Xie Tu blocked their view and said in a low voice, "Okay, you go back to the car and rest for a while. I'll be out soon."

The teammates didn't seem to care.

Sentinels are physically very strong, and in the past, they would go straight in when carrying out missions.

After Yun Zhao joined, considering the poor quality of the conductor, they chose to rest for one night before entering for the first two missions.

Finally, Xie Tu and Duan Xi followed them into the camp.

The rest of the people stayed in the car.

As soon as Yun Zhao got in the car, he clung to the oxygen cylinder and wouldn't let go. He also took out the military overcoat issued by the base and covered himself with it.

The little bluebird hopped around irritably, muttering curses under its breath.

Yun Zhao still needs to appease it.

The rabbit rummaged through the medicine box and took out a box of medicine. "Sister Yunzhao, take two pills and rest for a bit."

Tao Haohao scratched his head. "Do you want some hot water? I'll go in and ask them for some..."

"Don't worry."

Seeing their reaction, Yun Zhao shook his head. "It's not that I'm in great pain, just a little uncomfortable. It's nothing serious."

Yun Zhao had never been to a high-altitude area and was unaware that he would experience oxygen deficiency.

She was just afraid of developing severe altitude sickness if she stayed too long.

That would delay the mission.

Oxygen is produced by plant photosynthesis. After two hundred years of darkness and the absence of sunlight, oxygen is now much scarcer than before.

No matter where the timeline jumps within the contaminated area, the oxygen content is definitely higher than outside.

"Then let's drink some hot water. I'll go in and ask." Tao Haohao got out of the car and ran into the camp.

Only Yun Zhao, Rabbit, and Song Liang remained inside the car.

Song Liang was sitting in the passenger seat, copying down a map.

Armored vehicles couldn't get in, so they could only carry as much food and ammunition as possible.

To save space, he didn't plan to bring the computer inside; instead, he simply copied the information from the files.

The three of them didn't stay in the car for long.

Both the rabbit and Song Liang heard a rustling sound coming from the path below.

The rabbit straightened up and looked out through the observation window. Her king, the chameleon, was perched at the window, his eyes darting around as he observed the activity outside.

Two children, about eleven or twelve years old and dressed in tattered clothes, were seen sneaking towards the armored vehicle.

The rabbit thought the other party wanted to steal something and was about to make a sound to scare them.

Yun Zhao shook his head at her.

In that short time, the two children had already approached the armored vehicle.

The chassis of the vehicle was too high, and they couldn't reach the observation window.

There was a knock on the car, and a timid voice came from behind, "Excuse me, are you reinforcements sent by the main base?"

The rabbit paused, realizing she had misunderstood, and opened the back door.

Two children stood in front of the car door.

His clothes were tattered and worn, his skin was dark reddish-brown, and he was shivering from the cold.

The slightly taller boy had messy hair, like a bird's nest, while the shorter girl had big eyes and a slightly timid expression.

Inside the car were two kind-looking older women.

The two children breathed a sigh of relief, no longer as nervous as before, and asked again.

"Did you come from the main base?"

Yun Zhao, covered with a military overcoat, sat up and nodded, "Mm."

When the boy saw that she admitted it, his expression immediately became urgent. "Then can you please save my father?"

Song Liang, who was copying a map in the passenger seat, leaned out helplessly and said, "Little brat, didn't your parents teach you to introduce yourself and explain the situation before asking for help? Only then can we decide whether to help or not."

Only then did the two children notice that there was another person in the car.

The boy pursed his lips and said, "My name is Yang Zhou, and this is Uncle Wu's daughter, Wu Ni."

According to him.

They lived in a salt lake refugee camp on the other side of the mountain.

My father was a sentry in the search party.

More than ten days ago, my father and the other sentries went to the edge of the contaminated area to look for supplies, as usual.

The gray fog sometimes extended and sometimes dissipated.

Supplies and food are often found in the outlying areas.

It's like they're deliberately luring people over.

Everyone who lives here knows that the contaminated area is dangerous.

But winter is fast approaching, and the experienced search team plans to go again before winter to store enough food for the winter.

The two children waited and waited, but no one came back until dark.

"They all say the person is dead, but I don't believe it!"

The little boy named Wu Ni finally mustered up the courage to speak up, "My dad is definitely still alive."

The mother of the two children had already passed away.

The Subei region follows the law of the jungle—survival of the fittest.

The two children have lost their guardians and have no food source; they certainly won't survive.

They had already planned to go to the contaminated area together to find their father.

However, he overheard that sentries from a large base would be coming to their aid, so he waited for many days on the small road below before a strange armored vehicle finally appeared.

The three people in the car had mixed feelings.

Especially Yun Zhao.

The wasteland era is brutal.

She was lucky to meet the uncles and the simple and honest people of Qingshan Town.

Yun Zhao put down the oxygen cylinder in his hand and said softly, "We'll go in later and help you find your father. Until then, please don't go in and cause trouble."

As for whether it will be alive or dead when it is found, she cannot guarantee.

After all, so many days have passed.

The 249th contaminated zone, despite being a four-star level contamination zone, had no survivors, which is clearly abnormal.

The two children were overjoyed to hear her agree and bowed respectfully to the three people in the car.

They practiced Mongolian etiquette. Although they were descendants of Han Chinese, they grew up in this area and were influenced by the local customs, so they expressed their gratitude with the highest level of courtesy.

...

It didn't take long.

Xie Tu came out with two other people, carrying a pot of hot water.

"There was no hot water available, so we had to watch over it and keep it boiling."

Xie Tu got into the car, found a water cup, poured in hot water, placed it on a box next to him, and turned to Yun Zhao, saying, "It's a bit hot, let it cool down a bit before drinking."

Yun Zhao looked up and gazed into a pair of deep black eyes.

Xie Tu lowered his gaze, sat down beside her, and took out two buckets of instant noodles from the box next to him, opening them and pouring water into them.

After preparing the noodles for her, Xie Tu said, "After we finish eating, we'll pack our things and head up the mountain. We'll park the car inside the Dangcheng refugee camp and have them watch over it."

"receive!"

Everyone crowded around and started making instant noodles.
