Chapter 473 The Return of Darkness (Thirty-Five)

Near Zhongshan.

Xie Tu and Yun Zhao led about ten soldiers to guard the sports park.

The city in the distance below.

In many places, the gunfire that had been going on for a long time gradually subsided.

It's unclear whether they wiped out the mutants or were wiped out by them.

The gunfire in the city gradually subsided, but the mutation never stopped. Howls continued from all directions, and more and more high-level mutant species appeared.

At such high concentrations, these monsters evolve very quickly.

Its speed far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Ordinary people can no longer outrun these monsters.

Not long after.

Finally, the sentries from Groups Twelve and Eight arrived.

More than a dozen sentries, along with surviving soldiers and civilians, and dozens of vehicles, rushed over in a great display of force.

Such a commotion.

Not only was it followed by a large group of monsters, but it also attracted many mutant species from the south.

The howls of the mutants grew increasingly shrill, as if they had caught the scent of prey, and they burst out of the darkness, rushing madly toward the convoy.

The sentries in this reinforcement force had experienced too little contaminated area and couldn't bear to abandon the soldiers they fought alongside.

The car braked suddenly and stopped in front of the defense line.

Without Xie Tu giving any orders, the sentries immediately climbed out of the car window and turned around to fire a barrage of shots at the monster.

Bullets rained down, blasting the first few mutants into a splatter of slime.

However, there were simply too many of these monsters. As soon as one group fell, even more mutants would surge in from all directions.

Fire Phoenix appeared and stood at the forefront, blocking the large number of mutants rushing towards them.

Xie Tu shielded Yun Zhao as they retreated, saying, "You guys go up the mountain first!"

Upon hearing this, Lai Yannian turned around, about to say something, when his eyes, under the night vision goggles, instantly noticed Yun Zhao standing beside Xie Tu.

He was clearly taken aback for a moment.

Where did this person come from?

Where is Captain Xie's daughter?

Yun Zhao was completely unaware.

The light emitted by the little bluebird was limited, and she couldn't see very far in the darkness.

He's completely blind.

Li Hongyun pulled a grenade from his waist and threw it hard at the back of the car.

With a deafening roar, the grenade exploded among the mutated swarm, instantly blasting several monsters to pieces.

"Captain Xie, aren't you leaving?" Li Hongyun asked when he had a moment.

Xie Tu noticed the sentries' gazes and moved to block Yun Zhao's way: "We'll wait for Groups Nine and Ten. You go in first, don't leave so many people here."

He had received word that the Eleventh Group, carrying a large amount of military supplies, was on its way.

"Okay, sure."

Li Hongyun glanced at the person he was blocking. Although the person was blocked, it was clear that she was an adult woman.

He held back for a long time, but couldn't help it any longer and blurted out, "Captain Xie, where's your daughter?"

Xie Tu paused noticeably.

I've been thinking about this all the way here, but I still can't figure out how to answer it.

Yun Zhao spoke up again: "She is in a safe place."

Li Hongyun smiled awkwardly, relieved. "That's true, it's too dangerous now, it's not safe to leave children outside."

They thought the child was inside Zhongshan Mountain.

But who is this girl?

The glowing spirit on her shoulder looks exactly like Captain Xie's daughter.

Upon seeing this, the little bluebird arrogantly raised its head, about to utter a curse.

Yun Zhao quickly held it in his hands, stopping it from further exposing itself.

They watched as the large number of monsters that had been surging forward were annihilated.

Before the sentries could think it over, Xie Tu was already urging them to go in, saying, "Going in first will only attract more monsters if you're too conspicuous."

"OK."

The phoenix spread its wings, its entire body ablaze with flames.

He single-handedly held the northern defense line, quietly waiting for the other sentries to arrive.

Seeing that they couldn't be of much help, the two groups of sentries had no choice but to lead their men into Zhongshan.

There's still a distance between the sports park and Zhongshan, and it's not within the high wall area, so there aren't many monsters here.

The group drove to the outer perimeter.

On the high wall, the sentries sent by Zhuang Wan to meet them had been waiting for a long time.

Finally, they saw them coming and quickly lowered the ladder to let them in.

*

It was three in the morning.

The attacks from the south and north of Zhongshan intensified.

More and more image distortions are emerging, attracting both static and dynamic attention.

Fire Phoenix could not block these images, and the dozen or so soldiers fired desperately, but their aim was really unsatisfactory in the darkness.

The Tang sword in Xie Tu's hand was covered with the black slime of the mutant.

The pollution concentration has reached 93%.

The fire phoenix was being eroded at an accelerating rate, with countless black threads wrapping around its wings and disappearing into its body.

The little bluebird obeyed its master's commands and would guide it every few minutes.

Fire Phoenix was secretly delighted, completely ignoring the discomfort in her body, and even hoping that the dark matter would continue to erode her...

They then received the other groups of sentries.

The fire phoenix, like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, kept displaying itself in front of the blue luan.

A group of well-trained sentries came down to help clean up the image distortion.

The crisis is over.

Xie Tu let the Fire Phoenix return to the spiritual realm.

Fire Phoenix objected: "I'm not going back! Can't I just stand here among the monsters?"

Xie Tu didn't waste any more words with it, forcibly retracted it, and called everyone to go up the mountain.

All the sentries noticed Yun Zhao.

"Captain Xie, your daughter..."

Before they could finish speaking, Yun Zhao replied, "She is in a safe place."

Sentinels: "..."

Wang Lei noticed the spirit on her shoulder; it looked exactly like Captain Xie's daughter.

"Are you Cloud Guide? How did you get in?"

Wang Lei asked tentatively, as if he had already made a connection to something.

Yun Zhao nodded and said quietly, "I was worried, so I came in to check on things."

Sentinels: "..." Are there really people who aren't afraid of death who come into the contaminated zone on their own?

Group 11 stayed at the military region's base and had the least contact with Team Leader Xie's daughter.

The spirit of the Cloud Guide is exactly the same as that of Xie's daughter.

How could such a coincidence happen?

Wang Lei and Yang Junliang exchanged a glance and simultaneously gasped.

Yun, the guide... she... she... she is actually the mother of Team Leader Xie's daughter!

The sentries suddenly realized what was going on.

That makes sense.

The child was caught in the contaminated area, a five-star contaminated area where no one survived.

The mother must have been extremely anxious, risking her own safety to come in, just to save her child...

What a great mother's love!

But this cloud guide looks way too young.

You can't tell at all that she's had a child, and the child is already five or six years old.

Seeing their strange expressions, Yun Zhao wondered how far they had gone in their imaginations.

They weren't from the same base, and these sentries only knew her by name; they didn't know anything about her personal life.

Anyway, there's no way to explain this clearly.

Let's just muddle through for now.

That side.

Xie Tu was talking with the officers sent by Commander Zhong and inspecting the supplies they had brought.

"We encountered two large-scale attacks on the way, and lost some supplies and soldiers."

The officer said, "However, the commander said that if there is enough time, Captain Xie can ask for any other supplies he needs."

Xie Tu's brow twitched slightly.

What does Commander Zhong mean? What does "there's enough time" mean?
