Chapter 400, Contaminated Zone 320 (Part 1)

The group came out of the tent and moved under the tree to get some food.

The inner circle of the campsite is filled with bare trees that don't even provide shade; they are only in the shade because they are blocked by the tent curtains.

The weather is hot.

No one had much of an appetite, so they just ate a little something.

After finishing their meal, the sentries got up to check their equipment and prepare to enter the contaminated area.

Under the tree.

Yun Zhao, Qi Ling, and Qu Xingzhou.

The two useless guides and the mutant were of no help, so they sat under the tree without moving.

Qu Xingzhou, holding a piece of cardboard to fan himself, felt the atmosphere was too quiet and broke the silence: "What's it like inside the contaminated zone?"

Yun Zhao unscrewed the bottle cap, took a sip of water, and asked suspiciously, "Haven't you checked the forum?"

Before he goes on a mission, Fuqi will definitely arrange training for him in advance and understand his abilities.

"I've seen it, but I'm still a little uneasy."

Qu Xingzhou smiled wryly, "After all, this is my first mission. The more I look at those documents and files, the less confident I feel."

Qi Lingshen shared the same sentiment and interjected, "My first mission was the same, but the situation in each contaminated area is very different, and no one knows until they go in."

Who made Qu Xingzhou join the S-level team?

Many missions below the three-star level have survivors, and the base can learn about the situation from those survivors.

S-class teams mostly operate in unexplored areas.

Although Qi Ling had not been to many contaminated areas, his training during this period had not been in vain, and he had learned a lot of relevant knowledge.

"You'll have to overcome this on your own," Yun Zhao told him truthfully.

Qu Xingzhou nodded helplessly.

Not far away.

Two armored vehicles have already driven onto the open ground.

Tao Haohao went around to the back of the vehicle, took the rope off the winch, and hung it on the vehicle belonging to Fu Mo's team to prevent the two teams from getting separated after entering.

Preparations are complete.

The two captains are outside negotiating with the commanders.

The sentries picked up their weapons and stood by.

Song Liang called to the two people under the tree, "Yun Zhao, Qi Ling, you two get in the car and wait."

Yun Zhao nodded, got up, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and walked over with Qi Ling.

The two had just gotten into the car.

Xie Tu and Fu Qi returned.

Fu Mo picked up her Gatling gun, looking dashing and heroic. Her cute face had a sharp and fierce aura that didn't match her appearance.

She said to Qu Xingzhou, "You come with me."

Qu Xingzhou slung his bag over his shoulder and said tactfully, "Okay, Captain."

*

The billowing gray fog was almost within reach.

With a muffled roar and billowing dust, the two armored vehicles shot towards the gray fog like arrows.

The sentries are now on high alert.

Be extremely vigilant.

Yun Zhao and her teammates held hands, and a bluish-green fluorescent light emerged from her thoughts, enveloping the two cars.

Just like every mission.

A gray fog suddenly descended, its familiar enveloping sensation obscuring vision, but it vanished in the blink of an eye.

The armored vehicle seemed to have broken through a barrier and entered another world.

The surrounding scenery has undergone tremendous changes.

The once barren plains have vanished, replaced by...

"Holy crap! What the hell is that?"

It was Song Liang who spoke.

He was in charge of driving, and his view from the driver's seat was the clearest.

After realizing where he was, Song Liang couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath, "Rotten tomato, damn tomato!"

Xie Tu sat in the passenger seat, squinting as he surveyed the cityscape before him.

Two cars appeared on a street in the center of the city.

The roads are clean and tidy, with tall buildings on both sides. The towering buildings are covered with countless mirrors, reflecting the pale sunlight.

The building's rooftop is covered with intricate gears and pipes that intertwine and rotate, producing rhythmic metallic clanging sounds, like the heartbeat of the city.

—A city built of metal and mirrors.

The streets were deserted.

It was extremely quiet all around, without the hustle and bustle of the city.

"Look at the sky!" Qi Ling exclaimed from the roof of the car.

Everyone craned their heads and looked up, and couldn't help but gasp.

There was no sky above.

Instead, it is an upside-down city, perfectly symmetrical to the city below, and mirror-shaped.

The building facades were exactly the same, the roads were exactly the same, and all the scenery was exactly the same.

The upside-down mirrored city is right above you, creating a very oppressive feeling.

Not only that.

Two cities, upside down, with mirrors on the walls reflecting each other's images.

The phantoms of countless cities intertwine and extend in the mirror, directly reflecting countless two armored vehicles parked on the streets.

They felt as if they were inside a giant kaleidoscope.

No matter which direction you look from, you can see the car's shadow on the wall made of mirrors.

Yun Zhao leaned over the observation window.

Both phoenixes came closer and curiously looked outside with her.

The road was not wide, and the mirrored walls on both sides were only three or four meters away from the armored vehicle.

Yun Zhao looked at himself in the mirror and was immediately stunned.

In the mirror, I see myself clinging to the window frame, with two phoenixes of different colors standing on either side of me.

This mirror...can it reflect a spiritual entity?

Xie Tu released his senses, and all he could hear were the sounds of gears turning and metal clashing.

Metal collision?

Xie Tu's expression turned cold: "Duan Xi."

"Received!" Duan Xi understood and immediately released the peregrine falcon to investigate the situation.

The car behind.

A white wolf appeared at the same time, and flew off in different directions from the peregrine falcon.

Instantly, the entire mirrored city was filled with the silhouettes of countless white wolves and peregrine falcons.

"These mirrors can reflect spiritual entities?" Song Liang immediately became alert.

Not only Yun Zhao, but all the sentries noticed this.

Song Liang wanted to say something more.

Hearing the clanging of metal approaching from afar, Xie Tu's expression suddenly changed slightly. "Come back!"

"Come back!" came the shout from the vehicle behind them.

As soon as he finished speaking, something unexpected happened!

The two spiritual entities had only gone less than twenty meters.

Several spiderweb-like blue beams descended from the sky, instantly striking the peregrine falcon in mid-air and the white wolf running on the ground.

Upon seeing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.

As the peregrine falcon was attacked.

Duan Xi groaned and slumped unsteadily into his seat.

Rabbit and Tao Haohao quickly helped him up.

The changes happened too quickly.

Without a second thought, Xie Tu raised his gun and fired at the blue light, yelling, "Recall the Peregrine Falcon!"

"How are you?" the rabbit asked anxiously.

Duan Xi's face turned as pale as paper.

His head was throbbing with pain, and he couldn't speak. He just kept shaking his head and quickly withdrew his spiritual body to check on its condition.

"Damn it! I'm going to kill this gatekeeper!" Tao Haohao gritted his teeth.

Yun Zhao acted swiftly, sending his spiritual threads into Duan Xi's mental domain to attempt to treat the peregrine falcon.

That force was very strange.

It is neither a mental fluctuation nor does it belong to dark matter.

The psychological comforting effect is limited and cannot cure the peregrine falcon; it can only alleviate Duan Xi's pain.

Something's not right.

If Han Dadao is the gatekeeper of vehicle number 320, then it is impossible for it to attack them after seeing the red-crowned crane emblem on the vehicle.
