Chapter 489 Getting beaten up by your own spiritual entity?

As I emerged from the shopping mall, the city lights were already on.

As the streetlights came on, the site was gently enveloped in warm yellow light, and the building outlines appeared and disappeared in the halo.

The two bought a lot of things: ingredients, seasonings, fruits, clothes and stationery for the children, and two new phoenix toys.

Xie Tu put the things he bought into the trunk of the car and drove with Yun Zhao to the operations department.

Passing by the building.

Yun Zhao deliberately lowered the car window to look for him, but did not see Cheng Dongshu.

Are you off today? Or on a day shift?

Or are they on duty elsewhere?

Before going upstairs, Yun Zhao asked somewhat nervously, "Do you think Minister Duan knows about these things?"

Xie Tu pressed his fingerprint to open the door. "I know a little bit, but not for very long, probably before we left last time."

At that time, Minister Duan's attitude was completely different.

As one of the most important departments in the base, the operations department has no reason to keep everything from the base commander.

Yun Zhao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

It's good that I know; I won't pry too much, nor will I be unhappy that the two of them bypassed her to see Chief Shen.

The two arrived at Minister Duan's office.

Just as Xie Tu had predicted.

Minister Duan didn't ask any further questions, but instead glared at Xie Tu, who had just stepped into the office.

"You finally decided to come back! You ran off to Nanjing without a word, didn't reply to messages on the way, and even got involved in the five-star contaminated area, knowing full well that the reinforcements were short-staffed..."

A slender figure flashed past Xie Tu.

Upon seeing Yun Zhao enter shortly after him.

Minister Duan paused in his tirade, seemingly surprised that Yun Zhao had come so late.

Her tone suddenly softened as she said to Yun Zhao, "You're back. You encountered such a dangerous situation on this trip, why didn't you go back and rest earlier?"

Xie Tu didn't even raise an eyelid at the minister's double standards.

Yun Zhao, however, felt that he had dragged Xie Tu into this mess, and truthfully said, "Minister, it was I who wanted to go find my relatives, and I dragged the captain along with me."

"I see." Minister Duan's gaze swept between the two for a brief but meaningful second.

"Regarding the recent Dark Guide incident that has caused quite a stir."

Minister Duan didn't dwell on Xie Tu and turned to the main topic.

He said to Yun Zhao, "The opinions at the meeting were not unified. We need to wait for Minister Han to announce the final investigation results, and then the four bases will formulate a unified plan."

"Before this, all guides continued as usual, but a monitoring system was installed in the evacuation room to facilitate supervision and await the subsequent secondary testing plan."

Yun Zhao felt somewhat uncomfortable upon hearing this.

Sentinels cannot live without guides, yet they fear the power of the Dark Guides.

The guide community did nothing wrong; they were simply brought into trouble because of the exposure of a wild guide.

From then on, all work had to be done under the watchful eyes of others, leaving them constantly at the mercy of others.

Yun Zhao knew that this matter actually had nothing to do with the Operations Department.

She was the only guide in the entire operations department, and she was an S-rank guide. If it weren't for her, the minister could have completely ignored the matter.

Yun Zhao only asked, "May I attend the meeting to formulate the plan?"

Minister Duan was somewhat surprised to hear this.

People who didn't even want to show their faces at the annual meeting back then actually took the initiative to request to attend the meetings of the four major bases.

It's a good thing to be willing to step out of your comfort zone.

Minister Duan nodded in agreement, "The meeting does indeed need a guide representative, and you are the most suitable."

Yun Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him.

Xie Tu kept his gaze fixed on her for a moment before finally looking away: "The minister urgently summoned us back because of this?"

Minister Duan turned his head and glared at him.

Do you really think she's blind and can't see?

Xie Tu understood and continued, "Because of that Bixi?"

Minister Duan took the documents from the table and put them into the locked drawer, which was taken as tacit agreement. "They're in a hurry over there. I heard they're not getting along well with the spirit, and they're getting beaten up all the time."

Get beaten up by a mental entity?

Yun Zhao was slightly surprised; it was truly an eye-opener.

Although the little bluebird curses and beats people, it's cursing and beating others.

When it comes to her true self, the little bluebird always applies double standards, protecting her in everything.

"There's also a spiritual entity that beats up its own main body?"

Xie Tu was somewhat surprised, but said, "I can't help with this. Does the minister think I get along well with spirit beings?"

His unfilial son wanted to stick to the little bluebird all day long, and was thinking about changing his own form every day.

Huo Feng excitedly replied, "Yes!"

Yun Zhao quietly interjected, "I probably can't do anything about it either."

Xie Tu said that Bixi looks like a tortoise, so its shell must be very thick and its defensive attributes are too strong.

It might not be afraid of the little bluebird beating it up at all.

The little bluebird was dissatisfied with the original's idea.

It is the most powerful spiritual entity!

Minister Duan remained unmoved. "It's alright, I'll just teach you a little. We'll talk about it after we get the resources from the Hope Base."

It's getting late.

Xie Tu nodded. He was waiting to go back and cook, and didn't want to delay any longer.

"I came here to talk about the contaminated zone number 344."

Xie Tu: "Regarding the later distribution of supplies, I have informed the reinforcement troops that 20% will be reserved for the Qin Huai Battalion and 20% for the six groups of Dawn Base sentries who will be carrying out the mission together."

"Furthermore, I suspect that all the contaminated areas exist in the same spacetime..."

Upon hearing this discovery, Minister Duan's expression changed slightly.

＊

Although we were accidentally caught up in the contaminated area, we gained a lot; eliminating the gatekeeper still earned us points.

Moreover, it was only Yun Zhao and Xie Tu.

The points reward will be greater than ever before.

However, you still need to write a task report.

Yun Zhao hadn't written anything, so Xie Tulai could only briefly explain the situation in contaminated zone 344 to Minister Duan so that he could review the report later.

The two of them came out of the operations building.

It was completely dark outside.

Yun Zhao was eager to return home and missed his family and the people in his town terribly.

Xie Tu still drove that huge military transport vehicle, taking her to the parking lot behind No. 128 Dongshan Street.

Until then.

Yun Zhao then remembered that the back of the truck was full of supplies.

What should we do with the things?

She bought so much stuff, but still has two-thirds left.

Xie Tu opened the car door and glanced inside; it contained mostly daily necessities and wilderness survival equipment.

It takes up space at home.

Her little family definitely can't accommodate her.

"Take the food that can't be kept for long back first, and put the rest in the car. We'll drive to the training ground tomorrow and leave it there temporarily."

Xie Tu first placed the groceries he had bought on the ground and began to check the supplies in the car.

This is the outer city area; it's a bit dangerous to leave a truckload of supplies here overnight.

He was pondering how to stay quietly tonight when he caught a glimpse of two people peeking out from the distance.

"Sister Yun Zhao, Brother Xie, you're back."

When He Xiang and Cheng Dongqing realized they had been discovered, they emerged from the shadows with sheepish smiles.

Xie Tu nodded, "You've come at the right time. Come help me move things."

Yun Zhao glanced at him for no apparent reason.

He was completely at ease.

The two clueless young men didn't realize anything was wrong. Upon seeing so many things, He Xiang hurriedly ran back to call for help.

Xie Tu handed her the lighter bag, saying, "You go upstairs first, I'll watch over things here."

"Okay." Yun Zhao was in a hurry to go home, so he took the things and left first.

Xie Tu unloaded some opened rice, noodles, and other foods that couldn't be stored for long from the car.

The well-packaged robot lay conspicuously in the car.

I watched her disappear among the buildings.

Xie Tu calmly took out his car keys and handed them to Cheng Dongqing, saying, "Here are two boxes of bullets for you. Please help me drive the car to the operations department later."

Two boxes of bullets?

Cheng Dongqing was overjoyed: "Great!"
