Chapter 242 New Equipment

Xie Tu received the new communication equipment and came out of the building carrying a computer.

It was already 8 p.m.

The operations building, however, was a hive of activity, brightly lit and bustling with staff.

Minister Duan just informed us about the two special tasks that Team Zero completed.

The four bases will hold an online meeting.

The differences between the merged contaminated area and the five-star contaminated area are beyond everyone's understanding. This meeting will redefine the classification of the hazard level of contaminated areas.

The task bonus will be distributed after the meeting.

Xie Tu got into the car, placed the computer on the passenger seat, took off his earphones, and threw them into a box next to him.

Taking advantage of Minister Duan's absence today, he logged into the internal system and searched for information about 'Yun Jue'.

According to the theory of genetic inheritance.

Yun Zhao's mental strength is so formidable that her parents were very likely also guides or sentinels.

Since the end of the Dark Ages, the four bases have been collecting information about the Sentinels.

It stores archives from many other contaminated areas or remnants of fallen bases.

With general access, you can browse these files.

However, many places remain unexplored after two hundred years of darkness and apocalypse, and only a small portion of the information is recorded.

Therefore, Xie Tu didn't have much hope from the beginning.

After searching, no such person could be found.

Xie Tu offered an exorbitant reward, contacted familiar informants to help gather information, and also issued a reward notice to the public.

One clue equals 10,000 points.

Internet access is not widespread in the four bases; those who can log in and see the bounties are mostly high-ranking sentries.

This includes some powerful search teams outside that are equipped with electronic devices.

If we still can't find any useful information, perhaps the answer lies only within contaminated zone six.

The car started.

Xie Tu drove to No. 128, East Third Street and parked in the parking lot behind the residential area.

He got out of the car with his computer and a new device, then went around to the back and opened the trunk.

Inside the trunk were several large bags of meat, which looked to weigh dozens of kilograms.

Xie Tu picked up a bag of food, closed the trunk, thought for a moment, then put down the things in his hand and sent her a message.

At the same time.

Just as Yun Zhao was about to go to sleep, the Fire Phoenix suddenly flew over to greet him. However, it hesitated because of the little bluebird, so it circled once and then squatted at the door of the room, not daring to come in.

Yun Zhao seemed to understand and asked, "Is the captain finished with his work?"

Fire Phoenix nodded obediently.

It found it novel to follow her, comfortable to stay by her side, and able to see the Azure Phoenix all the time.

I'd like to come again tomorrow.

Yun Zhao thought it was going home, so he went to bed and lay down. "Then you should go back now."

The fire phoenix was somewhat anxious and let out a cry.

"What's the meaning?"

Yun Zhao couldn't understand, and she was about to ask the little bluebird to help translate when the communicator on the table vibrated.

Xie Tu: [I'm downstairs in your apartment complex.]

Upon seeing the message, Yun Zhao quickly got out of bed, put on her coat, and replied, "I'll come down to pick you up."

Xie Tu: [No need, I'm in the elevator.]

Yun Zhao was slightly taken aback, not expecting him to arrive so quickly.

She quickly straightened her clothes, went to the entrance, opened the door, and waited.

The hallway was pitch black and quiet.

A moment later, the elevator doors slowly opened, and Xie Tu's figure appeared before them.

He was wearing a black overcoat, carrying something in both hands, and looked up as if sensing something, gazing in her direction.

It's only been two days since we last saw each other, but it feels like a long time has passed.

"Why did you suddenly come?" Yun Zhao asked softly, staring at the large and small bags in his hands.

Xie Tu, carrying a bag, said, "I came to bring you something."

Yun Zhao thought for a moment, then stepped aside and said, "Let's go inside and talk, it's cold outside."

Xie Tu did not refuse. His spiritual body saw him and stood on the sofa as if he were the owner of the house.

Come in and have a seat.

Xie Tu placed the items on the table. "I came to deliver new equipment to you, and I also brought a computer. You can watch videos when you're bored at home."

It's getting too late; he doesn't plan to stay long.

Teach her how to operate it and then leave.

Yun Zhao turned around and poured him a cup of hot water. "What's the new equipment?"

Xie Tu then picked up the new communication device and handed it to her to look at.

The design looks similar to what they use now; it's still a black instrument shaped like a watch.

The screen looks bigger than before, and the weight has also increased.

"The new communicator has many new features."

Xie Tu said, "In addition, an internal program has been loaded, so that in the future, as long as there is a signal, you can directly download and access information."

For future missions.

Without Song Liang having to download the data separately, the calculation and intelligence teams could send detailed information about each mission directly to each team member's communicator.

In the wasteland era, technology has regressed drastically; current technology is even inferior to that of the early Dark Ages.

The improved equipment is already a remarkable achievement.

Yun Zhao walked to the sofa, sat down, and began to study the document.

Xie Tu sat down next to her and took a sip of water.

It's a little hot.

He raised his eyes, saw her serious expression, smiled slightly, and reached out to take the communicator to teach her how to use it.

She seemed to be very sensitive to the cold, as the air conditioning in the room was set quite high.

Xie Tu unbuttoned his coat.

The little bluebird chased the fire phoenix so hard it flew around the house.

The two phoenixes frolicked overhead, completely undisturbed by the two people conversing on the sofa.

Yun Zhao quickly learned how to log into the system and download or browse information.

She also unexpectedly discovered a new group.

The new group has a very formal name: 'Dawn Zero Team'.

The older models of communicators didn't have group chat functionality in order to extend battery life, so this discovery was quite novel to her.

It seems the teammates haven't received the new equipment yet; the group chat is quiet now, and no one is speaking.

Yun Zhao thought for a moment, then selected a smiley face and clicked send.

She became the first person to chime in the group chat.

After Yun Zhao finished doing all this, he looked up at the right moment and his eyes met Xie Tu's.

She belatedly realized what was happening.

Because he had just taught her how to operate the equipment, the two were sitting very close to each other, and could almost clearly feel the warmth of each other's breath.

Xie Tu seemed to notice as well, and restrained himself by moving back an inch, creating some distance.

It's too late.

He should go.

On the ceiling, the fire phoenix, being chased around, was enjoying itself. It realized the thoughts of its true form and was very unhappy.

I want to stay here. You can go back by yourself.

Xie Tu raised his eyes, his gaze carrying a clear warning.

The little bluebird made a 'pfft' sound and glanced sideways at Xie Tu: 【Get out of here!】

Downstairs, Cheng Dongshu stood guard at the first-floor entrance, glancing up every now and then at the motionless elevator numbers.

The S-class sentry who came upstairs just now was the one who helped open the unit door.

But it's been almost two hours, why hasn't the person come down yet?

Could it be... that I'll have to stay overnight at Yun Zhao's house?!

That won't do!

Yun Zhao is too naive. He grew up in a remote town and has never had much contact with outsiders. What if he gets scammed?

Cheng Dongshu was just thinking of going to the twelfth floor when he saw the numbers on the elevator start moving.

Not long after.

The elevator stopped on the first floor.

The imposing S-class Sentinel stepped out of the elevator.

He was holding a small, bright red bird in his hand.

The bird was extremely restless, struggling in his palm, trying to break free of its restraints, and occasionally making cries in protest.

Although Cheng Dongshu couldn't understand it, he was very familiar with it.

The little bluebird used to yell at the town's sentries like this.

Xie Tu saw him, thanked him quietly, and strode out of the building.
