Chapter 537 Peacock

The two brothers, Cheng Dongshu and Cheng Dongqing, were having dinner at home.

Hearing the noise, they exchanged a glance, ran over and opened the door, and saw Xie Tu chatting with people from the town as they entered the apartment building.

Yun Zhao walked at the very back.

Minister Bai had just sent over the information, and she was looking at it as she walked, not paying attention to what Xie Tu was talking about with them.

Old Liu, carrying a hoe, seemed to have just returned from the fields. Seeing the elevator arrive, he turned around and called out, "There are too many people, Zhao Zhao, you go back first, we'll wait for the next one."

"Sister Yun Zhao!"

Yun Zhao had just looked up when she heard Cheng Dongqing calling her from behind. She waved her hand and said to Old Liu, "Uncle Liu, you go in first. Dongqing needs to see me."

Cheng Dongqing shook his head vigorously, "It's nothing, it's just saying hello. You should go back and rest."

Old Liu laughed and said, "Alright, don't be so polite, we'll be going now."

Xie Tu happened to be standing next to the elevator, so he pressed the button for everyone.

Cheng Dongqing turned his head and saw Xie Tu there, and stammered, "Hello, brother-in-law."

His brother, Cheng Dongshu, was standing inside the door holding a bowl when he heard this address and almost tripped and fell flat on his face.

The once bustling hallway fell silent instantly after his shout.

Xie Tu smiled slightly. "Okay, have you eaten?"

Cheng Dongqing: "We're eating now. Do you and your sister want to come over for a meal? My brother will cook two more dishes right away."

"No need to trouble yourself, Auntie should have already prepared our meal."

His tone was practiced and familiar, as if he were no outsider.

Old Liu quickly pulled the others into the elevator, "Zhaozhao, Xiao Xie, we're going up first. Come over for dinner sometime!"

"Okay, I'll definitely come when I have time," Xie Tu agreed.

Yun Zhao: "..."

When we met earlier, Uncle Liu was calling me "Captain Xie" all the time, but now he just calls me "Little Xie".

Cheng Dongqing's address of "brother-in-law" was incredibly damaging.

Now the whole town probably knows.

When the elevator came down, Yun Zhao pulled Xie Tu inside by the arm. "Tell me honestly, when did you bribe them?"

Xie Tu smiled and confessed, "The two boxes of bullets were for parking fees, not bribery."

Unbeknownst to her, there was another connection, this time involving two boxes of bullets.

"Don't you think..." Yun Zhao hesitated before speaking, "you look a bit like a peacock with its tail feathers spread out?"

They wished the whole world knew about their relationship.

When we first met, he was calm and collected, never showing his emotions, and was very good at hiding them.

Yun Zhao looked at him suspiciously: "Have you been possessed? Or did the golden figure remove your hidden mask?"

The elevator doors opened.

"I didn't do anything."

Xie Tu led her out and familiarly pulled out the house key from under the electrical box. "Dong Qing didn't call me by the wrong name. Am I not his brother-in-law?"

Yun Zhao: "...We didn't do anything on the surface."

But subtly, between the lines, in every word and action, he was sending unsolicited signals to others.

Xie Tu opened the door and took her slippers out of the shoe cabinet. "Didn't you want to look at some documents? You go inside and get busy. I'll go ask my aunt what we're having for dinner tonight."

Yun Zhao sighed. With business to attend to, she decided to give up, changed into her slippers, and went inside, leaving him to his own devices.

The little bluebird's figure gradually solidified and flew to the shelf in the living room.

Are you angry?

Yun Zhao went into the bedroom to get his computer. "I'm not angry, I just feel that he's essentially no different from Huo Feng."

The little bluebird didn't understand.

It is what it is; there is no difference between them.

The fire phoenix flew onto the perch, still displeased: "I belong to the Azure Phoenix!"

The little bluebird flapped its wings and knocked it down.

Fire Phoenix quickly got up, still happily climbing up.

Look, they're all the same.

If he makes you angry, you can slap him next time.

Yun Zhao, holding his laptop, stayed in the room and said, "I can't beat him."

The little bluebird proudly raised its head: "He dares to fight back?"

Yun Zhao turned on the computer. "I definitely wouldn't dare, but there's a saying among humans: 'Don't hit someone in the face.' If he really dares to make me angry, I'll just lock him out of the door. That's more effective than a slap."

The little bluebird seemed to understand, but not quite. It tilted its head in thought, glancing at the fire phoenix: "Go outside."

Fire Phoenix panicked as expected.

I didn't make you angry!

It does seem to be more effective than a slap.

Yun Zhao let them play around, turned on his computer, sat down at his desk, and checked the information sent by Minister Bai.

She planned to follow Xie Tu's example and first write a training plan to provide a structured training method for the guides.

Yuan Lan is a native of this area.

She had lived at the base before becoming a guide, and worked in the counseling room for four years, knowing the base inside and out.

Qin Zhiyi is also an A-level guide, and her spiritual form is a very beautiful butterfly.

Its scientific name is Rose Crystal Eye Butterfly.

Its wings are almost transparent, with rose-colored markings along the edges, hence its name.

Qin Zhiyi had only been at the base for a little over a month. Before that, she was a wild guide living in a refuge camp on the southwestern plains.

Because of the "Dark Guide" incident, the base conducted a comprehensive test on her and even sent people to the refugee camp where she lived to conduct a background check.

Yun Zhao reviewed the information and pondered the training plan.

She had never done this herself, but she had seen Xie Tu do it countless times; he basically tailored the training to each person's specific characteristics.

Since we are going into the contaminated area, it is most important to understand its characteristics.

Explanation of rules for contaminated areas, basic mental strength training, practical simulation training, and responses to special environments...

Yun Zhao wrote in great detail, incorporating all his past experiences.

However, in live-fire simulation training, sentries may be required to participate.

She had already thought of a candidate; Xia Mingang would be the one.

If the level is high enough and training is needed, the guides can practice on S-level soldiers to get used to the mental strength of S-level soldiers. Then, dealing with A-level sentinels will become much easier.

...

At this time.

Xia Mingang had already moved into the city and settled in the inner city.

He moved into the villa area and became Jiang Mu's neighbor.

The white-haired beast was very curious about the newcomer and spent the whole afternoon observing him through his window.

Xia Mingang lay dead inside the house, and whenever he turned his head, he could see the large head squatting on the windowsill.

The white beast was not afraid of strangers at all. When its eyes met his, it swung its tail, raising dust in the yard, making it look like a sandstorm was raging outside.

Xia Ming raised his eyebrows. "Don't you dare get me into trouble and cause the house to collapse. Who will pay for it, you or me?"

This is the inner city.

There were sentries who dared to release their spiritual entities in the inner city.

Are they going to ignore the Dawn Base?

Whether the white beast understood or not, it squeezed its big head in, wanting to see what his spiritual form looked like.

Xia Mingang didn't have time to play with him because the base commander, Xia Ji, called.

As soon as the call connected, his grandfather's loud and angry voice echoed throughout the room, clearly indicating that he had received Xie Tu's "complaint".

Xia Mingang lay on the bed, moved the communicator a little further away, and casually replied, "What? I'm really great. I helped Dawn Base deal with Contaminated Zone 24 as soon as I arrived. No need for praise, I'm a good guy who doesn't seek recognition..."
