Chapter 60 Mission Completed

The mutants surged towards people from all directions like a tidal wave.

The submissive fire phoenix became excited again after only two seconds, swooping down to clear the way in front of the vehicle.

It finally spoke to me again...

Even insults are still words.

Xie Tu just felt a headache coming on and didn't want to pay any attention to it.

Yun Zhao sat in the passenger seat, looking at the aggrieved black panther outside the car. It wanted to get closer but didn't dare to. Finally, relying on the mental connection, it left to find its original body.

"Captain, have all the supplies from the high-speed train been brought out?"

The first thing she said when they met was about the supplies.

Xie Tu: "Yes, everyone has rushed over."

He met Jiang Mu on his way here.

Jiang Mu drove away the mutants outside the station.

There are eight high-speed trains inside, and exactly eight people.

The items should still be there, but the extent of the damage is unknown. Even if they weren't damaged before, they will certainly suffer some losses under the siege of the mutants in the entire contaminated area.

But it should be able to save most of them.

Yun Zhao was relieved to hear this.

After the contaminated area collapsed, the unconscious mutants scattered, and the numerous monsters on the periphery were lured away by vehicles sent by reinforcements.

To avoid friendly fire incidents affecting the two teams caught in the crossfire, the cleanup will be carried out in batches.

Xie Tu drove his car out of the contaminated area.

The two phoenixes in the sky were so conspicuous that the reinforcements from Dawn Base had already spotted them and rushed to their aid.

Xie Tu passed by them without stopping, heading straight for the camp behind them.

The reinforcements built a defensive line and stopped all the mutants chasing after the armored vehicles.

After driving for a while, the vehicle stopped at a temporary camp at the Dawn Base.

Xie Tu pulled a box of instant noodles out of his backpack and handed it to her. "Stay here, eat something and rest. I'll go pick up Duan Xi and the others."

Both teams must stay put to hold the supplies until the nearby monsters are cleared out.

"OK."

Yun Zhao did feel a bit tired. Holding the instant noodles that were handed to him, he got off the bus as instructed.

This temporary camp at Dawn Base is right next to the neighboring Dawn Base. In addition to the frontline combat troops, a high-ranking sentry team is also stationed at the camp.

Hearing the commotion, the troops from nearby sentry posts rushed over.

It is very safe here.

Xie Tu called over the sentry on duty and whispered a few words of advice. He glanced at Yun Zhao, watched her enter the camp, and then drove away.

The big bluebird disappeared, and the little bluebird appeared on her shoulder.

Yun Zhao stepped into the camp on his own, looking around blankly, seemingly disoriented.

Which tent should we go into to rest?

Most of the sentries at Dawn Base had never seen Yun Zhao, and had no idea when such a guide had appeared at the base.

But just now, almost everyone saw two phoenixes circling in the air.

That enormous, glowing creature was clearly the guide's spiritual entity.

This is an S-class guide!

The sentry who had followed Xie Tu's instructions jogged over and whispered directions, "Guide Yun, those two tents over there are empty."

Yun Zhao glanced in the direction he pointed and said, "Thank you."

The tents were poorly equipped.

There was only one cot and one set of folding table and chairs.

And because of the hot weather, it was very stuffy and hot inside.

Having just left the bustling city, seeing the dilapidated state of the outside world and the rudimentary living conditions can be quite disorienting.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Even the little bluebird couldn't stand it, so it disappeared and returned to the spiritual realm.

Yun Zhao sighed and pulled open the tent flap to let in some fresh air.

The camp was very deserted; almost everyone, from the sentries to the commanders, had gone to the front lines.

The young sentry who had just left soon returned, carrying a pot of hot water.

"Guide Yun, Team Leader Xie asked me to make you some instant noodles..."

The sentries had never seen instant noodles like this before.

The base's fast food consisted only of filling compressed biscuits and some unpalatable canned meat puree.

Yun Zhao stared at the steps on the packaging for a long time, then opened the box, unpacked the ingredients, and gestured for him to pour in the hot water.

The sentry's wretchedly keen sense of smell detected the alluring aroma almost instantly.

Even the sentries on duty outside couldn't help but turn around and look.

Yun Zhao closed the top lid and said softly, "We brought back a lot; we can have an extra meal tomorrow."

*

As darkness fell, the distant sounds of artillery fire continued unabated.

Yun Zhao originally wanted to wait for everyone to return, but in the end he couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep on the cot.

I've been in the contaminated area for several days and have only rested twice. Before that, I had been carrying goods for seven or eight hours straight, which had taken a huge toll on my physical strength.

Even the simple conditions and the hot weather couldn't stop her from falling asleep.

The main force returned late at night.

The sentry on duty quietly came over and lowered her tent flap.

Before Tao Haohao could even open his mouth, Xie Tu kicked him.

Xie Tu ignored him and continued talking to Commander Tao of the reinforcements: "We'll discuss the issue of supplies distribution with Dawn Base tomorrow."

"Technology can be shared, but we should definitely take the lion's share of the resources."

Friendship is friendship, and interests are interests.

The supplies included many readily available industrial equipment, and both teams had contributed; how to allocate them needed to be discussed.

Commander Tao nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. I'll contact the base."

Unexpectedly, Team Zero not only successfully eliminated a four-star contaminated area during this mission, but also brought back so many good things.

There's too much stuff; we need to notify the base to send a vehicle.

Xie Tu seemed to remember something and added calmly, "Those snacks are ours."

Commander Tao: "..." Captain Xie actually likes to eat snacks?

*

The follow-up matters were extremely complicated.

When Yun Zhao woke up the next day, he did not see Xie Tu.

"The captain went to a meeting."

"The captain went over there to check the extent of the supplies damage."

"The captain is on the phone with Minister Duan..."

Inside the tent.

The other five members of Team Zero were present, and the folding table and chairs in front of them were piled high with various kinds of food.

Everyone sat together, eating and drinking heartily while holding a pile of food.

Yun Zhao silently opened a bottle of yogurt. "Captain is so busy."

"Who told him to be the captain?" Tao Haohao said casually.

Song Liang said irritably, "You guys have it easy. I still have to write a report when I get back and hand it in to the intelligence team."

Duan Xi put his hand on his shoulder and said in a teasing yet sincere tone, "Old Song, there's a saying: 'The capable are always given more work.'"

Rabbit, unusually aligned with Duan Xi, chuckled and said, "That's right!"

When Xie Tu finished his work outside and came over, there were several garbage bags on the ground, all filled with various food wrappers.

His team members sat on rows of folding stools, each looking like they had eaten and drunk their fill.

Xie Tu raised his eyelids slightly. "It's too hot. We'll leave some of the food that spoils easily for the sentries here as an extra meal. We'll head back to base tonight."

The reinforcements arrived in many vehicles and first transported a batch of supplies back.

Team Zero doesn't need to worry about what happens next.

However, Yun Zhao still needs to go to the Dawn Base camp.

Jiang Mu and his group haven't settled the bill for the 7,000 points they earned from the mental health counseling yet.

She asked the question she had been wanting to know, "Captain, how many points will the base give us for killing the gatekeeper?"
