Chapter 405, Contaminated Zone 320 (Part Six)

Fu Heng turned around and said, "If the mental fluctuations are too strong, they might attract the attention of the robots. Arrange for two people to stand guard at the door."

Xie Tu had just nodded when Tao Haohao stood up on his own, carrying his large cannon, and said, "I'll go."

Zhuo Yu came out of the side room and followed Tao Haohao.

After checking every corner of the cellar, the others came over one after another, some standing and some sitting, and gathered together.

Qu Xingzhou dusted himself off and, holding up his flashlight, said, "Let's go, let's go to that room and test it out."

Both are reconnaissance sentries, indispensable in the operation.

It's best to get treatment as soon as possible.

Duan Xi nodded and stood up, enduring the discomfort.

The rabbit standing nearby was a little worried and said to Xie Tu, "Captain, I'll go in and keep watch."

If the robot can detect fluctuations in mental energy.

It's not safe to leave two wounded soldiers and an incapacitated guide inside.

Lin Yu thought about it and agreed, "Then I'll go too."

The five people entered the side room one after the other.

With Tao Haohao and Zhuo Yu standing guard at the door, only a few people remained in the cellar.

Fu Heng walked over and discussed the next steps with Xie Tu.

"First, we need to determine whether the Sky City above us is a reflection in a mirror or if it actually exists."

She placed the Gatling gun on the table. "Secondly, the gears at the top of the building may be the energy source. It would be best to find a path to the top of the city, destroy the gear's energy source, and weaken the robots and the gatekeepers."

"Most importantly, we need to find another safe location that is both offensive and defensive."

"As for the strangeness of the mirror, we can discuss it after we've dealt with the robot."

Fu Yu finished recounting the upcoming arrangements in almost one breath.

She spoke in a low voice, mindful of the people receiving treatment in the next room.

Xie Tu had no objections.

The most urgent task is to solve the robot problem first, otherwise we will be unable to make any progress.

However, one point is worth noting.

Xie Tu reminded Fu Heng, "The coordinates for this mission were given by the gatekeeper, number 111."

"You mean a trap?" Fu Yu raised an eyebrow.

Xie Tu said slowly, "No, think about why we came in."

Fu Yu understood.

Xie Tu once said that the gatekeeper number 111 used to be from one of the four major bases.

Yun Zhao's bet was related to the truth behind the disaster.

The coordinates it provided contained extraordinary clues; once inside, the mission itself became secondary.

Yun Zhao felt uncomfortable sitting on the hay, so he stood up and walked to the supply box to get some food.

"If the gatekeepers were from the four major bases, they wouldn't look like they wanted to wipe us out after seeing the markings on our vehicle."

For example, Yu Jie.

It is still moved when it sees the red-crowned crane pattern on its combat uniform.

It gave a hint with a sun pattern, and even after Team Zero had transported the supplies, it didn't show itself.

I never intended to kill them.

But the situation here was completely different from what they had expected.

The level of danger has exceeded expectations.

"The clues are wrong?"

Fu Heng frowned. "Number 111 has no reason to lie to us; it wouldn't do them any good."

Xie Tu said calmly, "Indeed, but there is another possibility."

People already had bad suspicions in their hearts.

Yun Zhao had already stated the truth: "There should be two gatekeepers here."

If Yu Jie did not intentionally mislead them.

So, if the gatekeeper is Han Dadao, it's impossible for him to attack them as soon as they enter.

—Unless there are two gatekeepers.

Only in this way can it be explained.

After she finished speaking, the cellar fell into a deathly silence.

A dark cellar.

The sound of everyone breathing seemed particularly heavy in the silence.

Yun Zhao paused for a long time before continuing, "Moreover, that gatekeeper dislikes being disturbed, hates outsiders, and exterminates all foreign creatures, including mutants."

Another male sentry from Fuhman's squad unexpectedly encountered the merged contaminated zone.

“But we can’t rule out the possibility that the goalkeeper might lose his self-awareness and change his code of conduct?” he said.

Fu Heng rubbed her temples. "The possibility is very small. The gatekeeper has lost its self-awareness, and the contaminated area should be in a state of disorder and chaos."

Where does it resemble anything?

The buildings outside are arranged in an orderly manner, the streets are clean, tidy, and spacious, and the mirrored walls are spotless.

The robot has a clear objective.

—Kill the outsiders.

Fuhma had studied the merged contaminated area completed by Team Zero.

The two goalkeepers at number 249 can get along peacefully.

What about this one?

What are the rules for the other goalkeeper?

I successfully obtained a five-star mission.

But this mission seems to be much more complicated than expected.

Xie Tu remained silent, his eyes lowered in thought.

Two identical cities.

One is located on the ground, and the other hangs upside down in the sky.

It appears as a mirror image.

It would make sense if it were created by the fusion of two gatekeepers.

Qi Ling hesitated before speaking, "Don't you think the mirror is strange?"

"Throughout history, there has never been a building that used mirrors as walls, especially since these houses are very much like Gothic architecture."

“When I came in just now, I took a special look at the building that the grove of trees faces; it looks a lot like a church.”

He shared his thoughts: "Suppose those mirrors didn't exist originally, could the other gatekeeper be a mirror?"

Because they merged together, the original contaminated area changed.

Mirrored walls and an upside-down city in the sky appeared.

"These are just our guesses."

Xie Tu stood up: "No need to disrupt the rhythm, we must take care of the robots first no matter what."

Even if the gatekeeper is a mirror, the whole city is a mirror.

It is currently impossible to determine which mirror will be the gatekeeper.

*

A small house for a side room.

It was converted into a laboratory.

The mirror shards piled on the table varied in size, the largest being as tall as a person and the smallest only the size of a thumb.

Qu Xingzhou walked over and placed the flashlight on the table.

He looked around; the room was covered in dust.

There wasn't even a place to sit.

Despite the pain from his headache, Duan Xi sat down heavily on the floor after entering the room.

After receiving emotional support from Yun Zhao, his symptoms lessened.

Zhao Xinlei's condition appears to be more serious than his; she hasn't said a word since.

Duan Xi said, "You should treat her first."

Qu Xingzhou nodded. "I'll give it a try."

Rabbit and Lin Yu, who followed in, stood against the wall and hid in the darkness to minimize their presence, so as not to disturb the guide.

Zhao Xinlei's face turned pale, and she sat on the ground like Duan Xi.

She closed her eyes, letting the spiritual threads probe in, attempting to establish a spiritual connection.

The waiting process was extremely long.

We must remain absolutely quiet to avoid distracting Qu Xingzhou.

The rabbit stood against the wall, having nothing to do, so it simply let its senses work and listened to the captain and the team leader discussing the mission outside.

Lin Yu did the same thing.

Hearing Sister Yun Zhao say that there might be two gatekeepers.

The rabbit's heart skipped a beat.

Soon they heard Qi Ling mention that the other gatekeeper might be the Mirror.

Rabbit and Lin Yu looked at the shards of mirror on the table almost simultaneously.

A sudden change occurred.

There were almost no signs.

The stone wall has crumbled, revealing the mirrored wall inside.

Everything happened too fast.

Rabbit and Lin Yu were pulled by a suction force from behind and instantly fell into the mirror.

Duan Xi's eyes widened in horror, and he cursed inwardly.

He endured the discomfort and quickly ran forward to try and grab the rabbit, but was pulled by the suction force and fell into the mirror along with the two of them.
