Chapter 417, Polluted Zone 320 (18)

Tao Haohao instinctively picked up the grenade launcher.

Xie Tu released all his senses to stop him: "Don't alert them, just keep going along the route."

"OK."

Tao Haohao put away his weapon, walked over, and sat down next to Duan Xi.

The armored vehicle slowly began to move.

Walking slowly along the quiet street.

The speed of travel is very slow.

The windshield was completely blocked by mirrors, leaving not even a sliver of a gap, making it impossible to see anything ahead.

Song Liang was driving blindly.

"Go straight, you're almost at the intersection, turn right now!"

"Okay, keep going straight, turn left at the next intersection..."

The interior of the carriage was dimly lit.

There was no one in the passenger seat.

Everyone sat in the back of the vehicle, no one spoke, only Wang Jiayu's voice could be heard giving directions.

The sound of metal clashing grew closer.

It was like countless gears meshing in the dark, or like sharp metal claws dragging across the ground.

The sentries immediately became alert, gripping their weapons tightly, ready to respond to any possible attack.

Xie Tu listened intently to the sounds outside.

At the right-hand alley entrance, a dozen robots appeared and met their armored vehicle in a narrow passage.

The metallic clanging stopped.

The faint sound of machinery turning could be heard.

The robot appears to be scanning the armored vehicle that is moving at a snail's pace.

The car slowly drove to the alley entrance, getting closer and closer to the robots, about to enter their attack range.

Everyone held their breath.

Fearing discovery, Wang Jiayu had already closed the sunroof.

Everyone waited quietly.

Waiting to pass through... or fight.

Xie Tu reached out and pulled the person beside him into his arms.

Yun Zhao gazed at him with his clear black and white eyes, communicating with the little bluebird.

Outside the car.

Dozens of electronic eyes flashed incessantly, seemingly "watching" him.

The robot paused, then continued walking forward, seemingly uninterested in the "mirror car."

The tense atmosphere inside the carriage eased slightly.

Until the robot's footsteps gradually faded into the distance.

Tao Haohao let out a low sigh: "This thing really didn't notice us?"

Xie Tu nodded slightly, his voice very low: "The mirror reflection interfered with its recognition system; it may only scan its own image."

This method really worked.

Wang Jiayu breathed a sigh of relief and reopened a gap to act as a human guide.

"Fifty meters ahead, turn right, be aware there are more robots on your left."

The armored vehicle continued its journey through the silent streets, the next stretch of road proceeding smoothly to an almost unbelievable degree.

It took them about an hour to reach the street where Fumo's team was located.

Song Liang drove around twice to wait for the nearby robots to disperse.

Yun Zhao took this opportunity to replenish his marching backpack.

Xie Tu helped her hold her backpack open, and she stuffed a lot of food into it, filling the backpack up again.

The car had just stopped in front of the building.

A door opened a crack from the inside, and Zhuo Yu was very surprised to see an armored vehicle covered with mirrors.

Unexpectedly, Team Zero came up with this method.

"Come in quickly!" Zhuo Yu waved to them and whispered.

Upon hearing the sound, Yun Zhao quickly put on his backpack.

The group quickly got out of the car and rushed into the building.

It's a hidden paradise inside.

This is actually inside a large shopping mall!

"Why are all the counters empty?"

Song Liang muttered under his breath, "Does it have to be so stingy? Not even a single supply?"

Qi Ling was on the verge of tears.

After completing the last mission, he still owed the captain more than 7,000 points.

During the two weeks he spent at the base, he ate meat every day, and his debts unknowingly ballooned to five figures again.

Qi Ling had originally planned to earn points this time and pay back the points he owed the team leader in one go.

Now it seems that the hope is slim.

Inside the shopping mall.

Fu Yu and the others had already heard the commotion and stood together in front of a shop. The two teams finally met up.

Yun Zhao looked over and saw Lin Yu standing in the group.

It's good that everyone is alright.

"Come in and sit down. We only realized how safe the inside of the mirror was after we came in. Qu Xingzhou needs to rest, so we'll rest here for now."

"I didn't expect you to find us first."

As Fu Mo spoke, her gaze swept over Yun Zhao, her eyes flickered a few times, and then she quickly looked away, pretending that nothing had happened.

Xie Tu noticed it, his heart tightened, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Okay, come over and we'll discuss our next move."

He took Yun Zhao's hand and squeezed it, holding her tightly in his palm.

His expression remained completely unchanged. "To make a long story short, there are two gatekeepers: one is the mirror gatekeeper, and the other is the robot gatekeeper."

Yun Zhao sensed his tension and naturally lowered his eyelids.

Fu Yu's attitude was somewhat subtle.

She already understood.

Lin Yu, in the mirror world, probably received the same information as his teammates.

—She is the Dark Guide.

The secret of the Dark Guide, hidden for a hundred years, seems to be about to be completely exposed.

When this moment truly arrives.

Yun Zhao's heart became calm instead.

Her teammates chose to believe in her, and that's enough.

If the base can't accommodate her, that's fine too. Anyway, she's going to find her father after she leaves, so she doesn't plan to go back right away.

Xie Tu returned to the main matter and concisely explained the clues.

"Mirrors can shield robots from scanning."

He said, "The safe house might be in a blind spot of the mirror, so it should be quite conspicuous. Let's search those areas first and look for traces of the robot gatekeeper."

The two teams need to work together to complete the current task.

Fu Xi's decision not to make it clear was perhaps also due to this consideration.

Xie Tu calmly began to make his plans.

He considered his own possessions and thought of a deal that would win over Fu Mu, but decided not to report it for the time being.

At least until Yun Zhao's father is found.

This matter should not be made public too early.

"A safe house?"

With her mind on the mission, Fu Qian said, "When we escaped, we found a wetland park. I wonder if there's anything there."

With a target in mind, the sentries perked up.

The plan is to search the safe house and look for traces of the robotic gatekeeper.

That side.

Qu Xingzhou couldn't get a word in edgewise, so he sat down to rest alone.

Duan Xi seemed listless and had no energy to discuss the mission, so I went over and sat down opposite him.

Qu Xingzhou paused for a moment, and seeing that he was not in good condition, he took the initiative to ask, "Do you want to try a mental connection now?"

Duan Xi's eyes throbbed with excitement.

I thought to myself, "That's exactly why he sat down here."

The peregrine falcon showed no improvement and lay dying in the mental realm.

Duan Xi replied listlessly, "Okay."

Qu Xingzhou nodded and stood up. "Then let's go to the next passage. There are no mirrors in the passage."

The captain deduced that the mental connection might have triggered the switch to the mirror world.

Just in case, it's best to be careful.

The two greeted each other and turned into the nearby emergency exit passage.

Fu Yu looked up at the direction the two had left in, feeling somewhat uneasy, and asked Zhuo Yu to go and keep an eye on them.

"Everyone else, hurry up and take down the mirror."

Fu Yu planned to disguise the car, just like Xie Tu had done.

She took out paper and pen, leaned over the glass cabinet, and drew a rough route.

"But there's one crucial question you haven't mentioned yet."

Fu Yu's eyes sharpened: "The robot has no weaknesses. Even if we find the robot gatekeeper, how can we destroy it?"
