Chapter 212 You Like Me

Rongping's words still affected her.

—Your parents must be very strong.

If he's so powerful, why did he abandon her?

Through her six-year-old self, Yun Zhao realized that she also had no parents by her side when she was a child.

She was so young then, yet she had to live alone in that dangerous place.

Yes.

Yun Zhao had actually guessed it all along.

She was simply resisting the truth from the bottom of her heart, unwilling to face the fact that she could live peacefully in the sixth contaminated zone.

“When I was little, I thought I had been separated from my parents and that my uncles had taken me in.”

For the first time, Yun Zhao opened her heart to Xie Tu. She spoke softly, “The area around the contaminated zone is so dangerous. I’ve always felt that my parents may have already perished.”

Not only her, but everyone in the town thought so.

Her parents must have died in the contaminated area.

So her uncles never mentioned her past, pitying her for losing her parents at a young age, and always treated her very well.

Her uncles even thought that losing her memory might be a good thing.

That way, you wouldn't have to suffer the pain of those memories.

But now someone tells her that her parents are very powerful, and that it is because of her genes that she became a very rare S-class guide.

Yun Zhao understood perfectly well that she was completely different from the other guides.

She is an anomaly who possessed powerful spiritual strength and a god-level spiritual body from a young age.

What's the root cause?

Could it be from her parents?

If her parents were also very powerful, is it possible that they are still alive?

The second-floor corridor was quiet; the teammates had already returned to their rooms to rest.

The two doors facing each other opened silently, and the rabbit stayed in the room, trying to minimize its presence.

Xie Tu gazed at her silently, said nothing, then turned and pulled her into his room.

The room door closed.

"Erect a barrier."

Knowing that her mental strength was insufficient, Xie Tu took the initiative to ask her to use her ability for the first time.

There are too many mysteries surrounding her, and some things cannot be heard by others.

In particular, there is another person in this house, Jiang Mu, whose five senses are just as sharp as his.

Yun Zhao did as instructed.

A bluish-green fluorescent light danced between the two, instantly dissipating into tiny specks of light, forming an invisible barrier that shielded them from everything outside.

The two phoenixes returned to the realm of spirits.

In the pitch-black room, the two stood facing each other.

"When I was six years old, my uncles found me outside the No. 6 contaminated zone..."

The valve for venting has been opened.

Yun Zhao seemed to have found an outlet, and all his confusion, doubts, and bewilderment poured into his mind.

"Later, my uncles sacrificed their lives in the No. 6 contaminated zone."

Despite his turbulent emotions, Yun Zhao maintained a calm demeanor. "I thought my parents died there too."

Every day, she would sit on the high wall of Qingshan Town, staring blankly at the swirling gray fog in Pollution Zone No. 6.

Several times, she felt an urge to walk in without a care in the world.

But back then, He Xiang was like a little shadow, following her everywhere she went. There were sentries guarding the gate and walls, so she had no chance to go out.

Later, she awakened to become a rare guide.

Yun Zhao didn't know anything about the guide's abilities, but everyone said that the guide was weak and had no ability to protect himself.

As it turned out, she was right, just like everyone else had said.

Naturally weak and lazy, they can't outrun the mutants.

Yun Zhao felt that going in would be suicide.

"Not long after, the sixth contaminated zone suddenly began to spread again, and the people in the town hurriedly prepared to relocate."

Yun Zhao looked up at him through the light of the flashlight, "I deliberately lured you here, hoping to use you to enter the sixth contaminated zone to find my parents and uncles."

She wanted to know who she was and wanted to bring her uncles home.

Doubt was like a tiny thorn that quietly pierced the depths of her heart. As time passed, it not only did not disappear, but gradually took root and sprouted, growing into a lush tree of questions.

Whenever the night is still and quiet, or when she encounters setbacks and loneliness, this tree sways gently, constantly reminding her.

But as she learned more about the contaminated area and the sentries and guides...

Yun Zhao realized that she had underestimated her own abilities and the little bluebird.

She is stronger than she thought.

She is capable of entering the contaminated area on her own, even without the help of powerful sentinels.

When Xie Tu heard her mention her background, he pursed his lips slightly, suppressing the turmoil in his heart caused by her experiences.

Those surging emotions, accompanied by churning thoughts, seemed to have reached his mental realm through the faint connection formed by their spiritual union, causing a slight tremor.

When Xie Tu learned that she wanted to use him, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Even a thought popped into my head.

If it weren't for this, he might not have met her.

The two stood there quietly, the surrounding barrier emitting a faint light, creating a world isolated from the outside world for them.

In this world, there is only the sound of their breathing and heartbeats.

For the first time in his life, Xie Tu felt speechless; all his words of comfort seemed so pale and helpless.

She may appear delicate, but she is actually very strong inside.

I sensed her emotions in her spiritual realm; she seemed to dislike being comforted with pale and useless words.

"You want to enter Zone Six?" He looked down at her slightly.

Yun Zhao flipped the notebook in his hand to the page full of doodles and nodded slightly, "Mm."

All the words that Xie Tu wanted to say, which were stuck in his chest, finally came down to one sentence: "I'll stay with you."

Unconditional companionship without asking why.

"If we can get out of this contaminated area smoothly, it means that Team Zero has the capability to enter a five-star contaminated area."

"I will submit an application to the base when I get back, but it may not be so quick."

Xie Tu paused for a moment, then said, "Wait for me, don't go alone."

Yun Zhao was slightly taken aback, and as her senses gradually returned, she unconsciously took a step forward, approaching him, and raised her head to utter another shocking statement.

"You like me."

It's not a question, but a statement of fact.

The mental threads captured his emotions more than once.

From initial resistance and resignation, to later struggles, and then to the intense, undeniable emotions during spiritual union.

At this point, Xie Tu's eyes flickered, and he simply admitted, "Yes."

When Xie Tu said "yes," his heart felt like it was churning with turbulent waves.

I don't know when it started, but this feeling is like a flower quietly blooming in spring. At first, it was just an insignificant touch of green, hidden in a corner of my heart.

He thought he could ignore it and let it wither away silently in some unknown corner.

But as time went by, the greenery not only did not disappear, but grew stronger and stronger until it blossomed into an unmissable sea of ​​flowers.

Subtle emotional fluctuations were like threads that tightened around his heart.

The more you resist, the more intense it becomes.
