Chapter 213 Cloud Technique

Yun Zhao's expression was somewhat confused. "But I'm not sure if I like you."

Xie Tu chuckled softly, his tone tinged with helplessness, "It's alright."

Yun Zhao's lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

She felt like a complete scumbag.

He initially came to Dawn Base with a purpose, wanting to use the S-class Sentinels to enter Contaminated Zone 6. He relied on Xie Tu to gradually improve his strength and understanding of this world, but he gave Xie Tu no response.

Xie Tu turned his head away.

Perhaps she didn't want to look too disheveled.

He changed the subject, looking down at the notebook she was flipping through, "What's that name?"

If her parents were also S-class Sentinels or Guides, there would be clues to be found, perhaps even within the four major bases.

When Yun Zhao heard him talk about this, her thoughts became disordered, and she held up the notebook in her hand to show him.

Unfortunately, Xie Tu couldn't understand what Xiao Yunzhao was drawing at all.

Those messy, stiff lines all looked the same to him.

Using the flashlight, Yun Zhao pointed to the lower left corner and said, "The floating clouds are my surname, but the one below isn't my name; it's the character 'Jue'."

—Yun Jue.

dad……

Yun Zhao remained silent for a moment, looking somewhat sad, before continuing, "Yun Jue, my father's name is Yun Jue."

Xiao Yunzhao is also herself; her subconscious is telling her that this is her father's name.

Yun Zhao asked Xie Tu for the notebook because he wanted to take a closer look and see if his mother was written in it.

Xie Tu reached out, took her flashlight, and pulled her to sit down on the edge of the bed.

"I'll hold it for you, you can take your time looking for it." Xie Tu said, turning around and moving the bedside table over, placing it in front of her so she could put her notebook on it for easy access.

Yun Zhao replied slowly, "I can understand it, there's no need to search slowly."

Why use the word 'find'?

The notebook fell to the ground, and before she could take a closer look, Xie Tu reached out and picked it up.

That's why I thought of watching it again.

Xie Tu nodded helplessly, "I misspoke."

Yun Zhao flipped through all those pages. What others found obscure and difficult to understand, she found particularly simple.

The scene on the second page is clearly depicted as her spiritual realm, with white mist covering most of the area, and the small lake in the middle being particularly prominent.

She even saw a drawing of herself as a child, depicting a cook.

Yun Zhao read through all the contents but found no clues about his mother.

There is only one name.

She lowered her head slightly, her eyelashes trembling gently, lost in thought.

Xie Tu noticed this and gently patted her on the back. "It's not just about getting a clue. We'll find a way to look for more clues after we get out."

Yun Zhao nodded slightly, but held no hope in his heart.

The four major bases were established step by step after the Dark Ages ended, and her father was clearly not one of the four major bases.

Xie Tu put the notebook away and stuffed it into her backpack. "You can keep it. It'll be easy to take it when you want to look at it. It's too late now. I'll take you back to your room to rest."

They are still in the contaminated area, and their immediate priority is to find the gatekeeper.

Xie Tu thought about how Xiao Yunzhao could sense the gatekeeper's presence, and his mind was filled with thoughts. Finally, he asked, "Can you... sense where the gatekeeper is?"

When they entered Smile Street in Contaminated Zone 249, Xiao Yunzhao knew that the gatekeeper was not there.

She seems to have the ability to identify the goalkeeper.

Yun Zhao shook his head. "No, I can't sense it."

She could sense the gatekeeper's malice towards her, but she couldn't perceive anything else through that malice.

"But I think the goalkeeper is a mutant."

Only mutants can escape the five-star pollution zone and emerge in Gulang County to create a new pollution zone.

Yun Zhao inexplicably thought of Qi Ling.

If he joins the operations department, it will definitely be much more convenient for him to go on missions in the future.

He can freely enter and exit any contaminated area, and those mutants will not attack him at all.

Free access?

Yun Zhao suddenly thought of something, her eyes widened slightly, and she turned to him, saying, "Do you think it's possible that it's in another dimension, which is why the people in Shelter 16 can't find it?"

It is not the digital life world itself, but it is closely related to digital life.

What if the gatekeeper is a mutant living in the digital world?

Upon learning that the base was going to develop digital life, it was determined to leave this cannibalistic world and enter the digital life world to achieve immortality.

Finally, he discovered it was a scam only when he was about to die.

The digital life world is merely a distant dream woven by the base to give people hope, a dream that may take countless years to realize.

It felt deceived, felt angry, and thus a powerful obsession was born.

This led to the birth of the digital life world.

Both domains exist because of it, and it can certainly freely enter and exit another dimension.

Therefore, even if the people living in the contaminated area launch indiscriminate bombing of the entire area, it will still be ineffective, and they will not be able to find any trace of the gatekeeper.

Because the goalkeeper isn't here at all!

Destroying the database will only lead to the arrival and fusion of the digital life world.

By then, it was already the final moment.

The Digital Life Project contains countless mutants, a shelter with a massive population of 530,000, and alien mutants attracted by the contaminated zone.

They simply couldn't find the gatekeeper!

"Or rather, they never even thought of going that way."

Yun Zhao said, "Rong Ping and the others are caught up in the situation and are unaware that the terrain outside the contaminated area has changed. Just as you said, they are blinded by a leaf. They have been focusing on the base and have ignored the emerging digital life world."

Xie Tu followed her train of thought for a moment, his expression changed slightly, and he suddenly stood up. "You go back to sleep first, I'll go downstairs to find Jiang Mu."

Yun Zhao's speculation may be correct.

No wonder the gatekeeper was so confident that no one could find it.

Even if they know it exists in the digital world, they can't lock onto it for now.

This base has a huge population of 530,000, and finding a single mutant with the attribute of a gatekeeper among hundreds of thousands of people is still like finding a needle in a haystack.

What's the difference between that and finding a single grain of sand in the desert?

They could only try to find clues in the data and pinpoint the gatekeeper by connecting the computers in each household.

The second-floor hallway faces the lobby downstairs.

Jiang Mu lay on the sofa, holding a printed A4 sheet of population information in his hand, flipping through it while looking up at the upstairs with a "tsk tsk" sound.

In front of everyone, Xie Tu pulled the guide into his room.

A lone man and woman, the door tightly shut, with a screen erected.

Jiang Mu sighed, "Staying in this dangerous contaminated area, we're working hard all night keeping watch and researching, and we have to watch other people showing off their love..."

This is absolutely devastating for single people!
