Chapter 593, Contaminated Zone 6 (Seventeen)

No one present had ever seen Yun Zhao use his guide ability like this before.

It wasn't about guidance or control at all; it was a complete massacre.

"What are you standing there for! Drive!" Jiang Mu's expression also changed, and he shouted.

The Dark Guide's abilities were on full display at this moment.

He didn't know if helping to cover it up was right or wrong, but he clearly couldn't let Yun Zhao continue killing like this.

Unfortunately, Xie Tu was not there.

"Yun Zhao!" Fu Hu took two steps over, wanting to stop him but unable to do so.

She had no idea whether interrupting Yun Zhao at this moment would backfire.

Xia Mingang hurriedly stepped on the gas, and the wheels rolled over the shattered remains of the mutant, rushing past with a rumble.

The sheer number of mutants attacking each other along the way is staggering.

The armored vehicle drove a few hundred meters ahead and was about to catch up with the Water Kirin that was scouting ahead.

The water unicorn turned its head and looked at the armored vehicle with a somewhat blank expression.

The group spotted the little bluebird, but the killing intent contained within its spiritual threads was completely opposite to the comfortable power it usually brought it. Instinctively, it kept the bird in place and did not follow it immediately.

The distorted space around them was gradually dismantled by the guide's spiritual threads, and the car easily passed through, entering another world.

The same space feels like two different worlds.

The battle raged fiercely, leaving behind a bloody mess and corrosive slime everywhere. Yet, the area around the town remained peaceful and serene, with not a single monster within a 500-meter radius.

The town itself doesn't have any decent buildings, and it's quite small in area.

From the outside, it looks more like a small mountain village surrounded by earthen walls than a town.

"Is this also a domain?"

The car had just come to a stop.

Xia Mingang was about to discuss with the people in the carriage behind him when he saw the carriage door open and Yun Zhao jump off the carriage with Little Bluebird.

Fu Heng was the first to follow.

No matter what erratic the guide's behavior is, her safety must be guaranteed.

Jiang Mu sighed and looked at the three sentries who were standing there dumbfounded. "Hurry up and replenish your ammunition now. Xia Mingang, stay in the car. I'll go down and check on things."

Yun Zhao walked towards the building.

The town is surrounded by thick earthen walls, and the road underfoot is exactly the same as the one I walked as a child.

Every step felt like knocking on the door of memory.

How come there's a child here?

Where are her parents?

"It looks like they're in grave danger. Quickly get them into the car, the gray fog is coming soon!"

When she woke up, she was sitting in a dilapidated old car.

Her memory went blank, and eight living sentries surrounded her, carrying her out of the car.

The men had just returned from a mission, covered in dust, and their car was filled with all sorts of odds and ends.

Xiao Yunzhao instinctively resisted and struggled to get down and walk on her own.

The surrounding environment was desolate, and the people and buildings around me were unfamiliar.

Her expression was so blank and bewildered; she couldn't remember why she was there.

"Little sister, what's your name?"

"Yun Zhao," she answered instinctively.

But she couldn't remember anything else.

"Zhaozhao, it's okay if you can't remember. You can stay in the town and all eight of us uncles will take care of you."

"Uncle doesn't have a daughter, only an aunt. Why don't you stay at Uncle's house?"

The neat princess dress was stained with dust from the sentry's clothes.

Eight people frantically surrounded her, even clumsily brushing off the dust, afraid of hurting her.

“Our Qingshan Town is a bit poor, but it’s enough to raise a child.”

"We've reaped quite a harvest this time. Later, the uncles will set off for the main base to exchange some daily necessities for you. What do you want?"

"Want some strawberry candy? We'll buy you some after we finish exchanging for food!"

When discussing what they gained...

The men recounted their find with great enthusiasm.

Rough hands took her small hand and led her through the earthen wall into the first warm home she would ever have.

Those blurry fragments suddenly took shape.

It's the lantern under the eaves, or the extra set of chopsticks and bowls that always appears on the dining table.

Eight different voices, yet all saying the same thing: "Don't be afraid."

Some warmth has long been rooted in my memory and has never left.

The road beneath my feet suddenly became scorching hot, as if it were trying to burn away all those warm memories.

The gray stains on the princess dress still seem clearly visible, but the hands that frantically brushed the dust off her dress back then are now just cold emptiness.

She was born with great power, and Number Six was her childhood paradise.

Why were the uncles devoured by Number Six...?

Why weren't they rescued in time...?

Yun Zhao suddenly raised her head, the tears still glistening in her eyes. The green spiritual threads surged wildly around her, like thousands of unsheathed blades pointing straight at the sky!

You killed them, didn't you?!

[You're the one who put the little bluebird to sleep, causing me to temporarily lose my abilities, aren't you!?]

Above the sky, blue sky and white clouds.

But the gaze never leaves.

The spiritual threads condensed into tangible fine lines, carrying a tearing shriek, determined to drag out the giant eye hiding behind the clouds.

"Yun Zhao?" Fu Qi shouted sharply.

Jiang Mu, who rushed over, witnessed this scene.

Now I finally understand why the Dark Guide is a "humanoid catastrophe".

At this moment, Yun Zhao looked like he wanted to punch a hole in the entire sky!

"Calm down. What exactly happened? You'd better discuss it with us before taking any action." Fu Mo's voice was more urgent than ever before, completely unaware of what was wrong with Yun Zhao.

The clouds in the sky were torn apart layer by layer, but there was nothing behind them.

The gaze that had been fixed on them disappeared.

But Yun Zhao seemed oblivious, showing no intention of stopping.

She lost her mind the moment she saw the swallowed-up Green Mountain Town appear before her.

Never before have I felt such a strong urge to kill the gatekeeper immediately and avenge my uncles!

The bluish-green fluorescence spread rapidly.

The little bluebird exuded a sharp aura, its body instantly becoming transparent as it flew towards the sky.

The images she had carefully hidden deep in her memory now pierced her mind like poisoned fragments.

"Give them back to me..."

Yun Zhao's voice was hoarse, as if it had been sanded, and his emerald green spiritual threads surged toward the sky like a tide, stirring up the entire sky.

The remaining white mist in the spiritual realm churned violently.

As a guide, she rarely lost control like this.

She thought she was calm enough to face the situation and wouldn't be affected by the contaminated area.

But when he saw the familiar town and thought of his uncles who had died there, the darkness deep within his mind was easily stirred up.

The carefully constructed mental barrier is peeling away, revealing the little girl deep inside who refuses to grow up.

Since Number Six devoured her eight suns, then now—

It is now the darkness's turn to fear the light.
