The dark apocalypse has ended, and the wasteland era has begun. Countless mutated creatures and strange polluted zones are devouring human settlements.
Yun Zhao, who recently awakened her abi...
Chapter 392 Sentinel Housing Area
The following day.
Bai Yu started packing her things as soon as she got up in the morning.
She hummed an unknown tune as she folded clothes.
Yun Zhao sat on the bed, staring blankly for a while before she came to her senses and got up to help tidy up.
"Conditions outside are tough, so remember to bring plenty of food with you when you go out."
Yun Zhao found a bag, thought for a moment, went to the living room, opened the cabinet and filled it with a lot of chocolates for her. Still worried, he added, "Also bring some common medicines, especially cold medicine and heatstroke medicine."
The entourage consisted entirely of sentries, who were physically robust and rarely fell ill.
It's unlikely that they will prepare this type of medication.
Bai Yu responded from inside the room, "I know, it's still early. We're not leaving until the 20th of next month. By then, you might all be back from your missions."
Yun Zhao paused for a moment: "This time it might not be so fast."
The two chatted until midnight last night.
We talk about everything.
Unable to withstand her relentless questioning, Yun Zhao truthfully confessed some of her affairs with Xie Tu.
I also mentioned the time of the next mission.
"Oh? So the rabbit is going to celebrate his birthday outside?" Bai Yu said with some regret.
Yun Zhao remembered this, "Duan Xi's birthday is also in April. Let's buy him a gift in advance and make it up to him when he comes back."
Duan Xi, April 6th; Rabbit, April 17th.
It is estimated that they had already entered the contaminated area on the 6th and could only stay there.
She remembered the birthday cake she had eaten in contaminated zone 88.
It would be great if there was a cake in number 320 as well.
"There are quite a few birthdays in April. Pingping and An'an will also turn seven in April."
She has watched her two children grow up step by step, from when they were pregnant to when they were born, and now they are lively and energetic.
Unfortunately, she probably won't be able to make it back this year.
Bai Yu was very understanding and comforted them, saying, "It's alright, I'll come over to celebrate the children's birthdays."
Bai Yu stayed at Aunt Zhao's house for a few days and got to know the children well.
Yun Zhao did not refuse, but said, "Don't buy anything expensive, Aunt Zhao won't dare to accept it. Just buy some daily necessities and things the children like to eat."
Bai Yu agreed.
There was a lot of stuff, so the two girls packed it together, carried it to the door, and waited for the driver and aunt who were coming to pick up Bai Yu to come upstairs and get it.
Bai Yu was reluctant to leave and didn't want to go.
She was an only child, and because of her family background, the people around her who knew her always treated her with a hint of flattery and less sincerity.
It's rare to find a friend I can talk to.
Bai Yu: "Aren't you supposed to be out in more than ten days? Come to my house for dinner tomorrow, and you can stay at my place."
Yun Zhao said, "I'm not free tomorrow."
She's going to Song Liang's sister's house tomorrow.
Bai Yu was a little disappointed, but quickly cheered up and leaned closer to whisper, "I'll take a look at the thing you asked me to investigate when I get back, but it might be a little slow. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."
She only learned a shocking secret last night.
The gatekeeper of Contaminated Zone 111 may be from Dawn Base!
Yun Zhao asked her to help investigate the real information of 'Yu Jie' and told her that this person might be 'Lao Bai's' companion.
Since it concerned his own ancestors, Bai Yu readily agreed to the task.
But in order to be able to go out next month, she has canceled all her vacations and may have to wait for a while.
Yun Zhao still had to go to training, so he pulled her into the restaurant next door to have breakfast. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Okay, it's okay to go slowly. It would be best to find the list of all the members of their team."
Xie Tu's car had already arrived downstairs.
Ever since he learned that she always rushed through breakfast, he stopped sending her messages proactively after he arrived, and instead waited for her to finish breakfast before coming out on her own.
*
The training days went by very quickly.
Soon it was time to visit Sister Song Liang's house.
Song Liang's sister and brother-in-law do not live with their parents.
Sentinels are sensitive to smells and are not suitable for living together as a large family.
Her sister moved back to her parents' house for a while during her pregnancy, but later learned that her husband had almost developed deformities, so she moved back to her own home after giving birth.
Xie Tu drove the car, and the two went to the shopping center to buy gifts.
When visiting someone's home, one should naturally bring something with them.
Yun Zhao walked side by side with him to the second floor and began to choose clothes for the baby.
When the two saw the miniature clothes and socks, they were similar to Song Liang's reaction back then—a little bewildered.
Yun Zhao calmed down a bit.
There are many children in the town.
She took care of Qin Xiaoxiao, Pingping, and An'an when they were little, and even helped cut their diapers.
Xie Tu felt somewhat uncomfortable.
But he rarely showed his emotions; he simply followed silently behind her, watching her choose.
"How about this one?" Yun Zhao asked Xie Tu for his opinion.
She was carrying a pink baby romper with a cute lion pattern printed on it.
Xie Tu's gaze fell on the small and exquisite baby clothes. As he looked at them, he seemed to think of something and turned his head away uncomfortably. "Very cute."
He didn't notice the pattern at all.
Unaware of anything amiss, Yun Zhao handed the clothes to the sales assistant: "This one will do."
After buying clothes, the two went downstairs and bought some fruit and pastries.
I used XieTu's points card when I checked out.
The older sister and brother-in-law seemed to be very familiar with the teammates.
Song Liang probably thought that too many people would disturb his niece and sister's rest, so he only invited Yun Zhao and Captain tonight.
The teammates didn't seem to care much.
Rabbit, in particular, often went to Song Liang's sister and brother-in-law's house for meals after her brother passed away.
On the contrary, it was Yun Zhao and the captain's first time going.
The two left the shopping mall, got back into their car, and headed to the Sentinel Housing District in the inner city.
Unlike the cold, hard style of the office area.
The buildings where senior sentries live are specially designed to ensure both comfort and privacy, while also taking into account the sentries' keen senses.
The car entered the residential area.
The road is lined with tall ginkgo trees, and you can only see a detached house after walking several hundred meters.
Each house maintains a uniform gray and white color scheme.
The exterior is simple and elegant, with a small front yard surrounded by tall shrubs, obscuring the view inside.
Yun Zhao couldn't help but ask, "The sentinels are sensitive; will the baby's crying have any effect?"
"No, this area is full of settled sentries," Xie Tu replied in a gentle and deep voice.
Many sentries live alone, and the houses there are smaller.
A single-story house, about 60 square meters.
Each community is equipped with many public noise reduction rooms.
Once they find a mate, sentries and guides can apply to the base to change rooms.
The single guides live in another villa community, and will move away after they get married; they are all managed separately.
Yun Zhao: "I see."
No wonder the base needs to build a white tower and a black tower.
The residences of the Light Sentinels and Guides occupy almost half of the inner city area.
For bases with limited population and land resources, excessive resource allocation is detrimental to future development.
