The dark apocalypse has ended, and the wasteland era has begun. Countless mutated creatures and strange polluted zones are devouring human settlements.
Yun Zhao, who recently awakened her abi...
Chapter 601, Contaminated Zone 6 (Twenty-Five)
Outside.
Fu Yu and Jiang Mu searched the entire town.
Qingshan Town is not large, with only a few dozen households. The houses are simply built, but every household has a cellar.
The cellar was built more solidly than the house, and upon entering, it was discovered that the floors below were interconnected.
"It's more appropriate to call it a tunnel than a cellar."
Fu Heng emerged from the entrance, casually brushing the dust off her clothes. "Qingshan Town is very weak. It lacks the ability to defend against flying mutants. When in danger, the residents can hide underground."
Who would have thought that such a small and inconspicuous refuge would give birth to the world's only S-class guide?
"Where there's life, there's hope; that's probably where the name of Qingshan Town comes from," Fu Mou said with some emotion.
"The only visible part of the town's defenses is this outer wall." Jiang Mu noticed nothing unusual and turned to find a place to rest. "I'm going to sleep now, and we'll exchange information later."
Sentinels are physically fit, but that doesn't mean they don't need to sleep.
The 5S team has now reunited, so let's take this opportunity to recharge.
Fu Yan frowned at his retreating figure and said, "Five sentries from the reinforcements are still missing..."
"There's no use in being anxious." Jiang Mu waved at her without turning around and went to find an empty room to sleep.
The sentries lived together in several rooms opposite Yun Zhao's house.
Qingshan Town retains its original appearance.
When people evacuated, they had already taken everything they could carry. Only some old furniture that couldn't be moved remained in the room; there were no supplies at all.
They were practically destitute.
Fortunately, the sentries only needed a safe place to rest and were not too concerned about their living conditions.
Xie Tu went to the armored vehicle to get ingredients to cook a meal and to take stock of the supplies on board.
The five S-class soldiers, plus the nine sentries from the reinforcements, a total of fourteen people, are currently relying entirely on the supplies inside the armored vehicle for food and drink.
If they can't find a supply depot, they won't be able to hold out for long.
Xie Tu thought of the pile of canned meat in the house.
He Guanghai is now a mutant that can only eat meat. He can move through several passages, so he should know where the supply points are in the contaminated area.
There is also Yun Zhao's other home.
The fairytale-like manor still bears the barrier left by Yun Jue, preventing monsters and gatekeepers from setting foot there. It is clearly more suitable as a base than Green Mountain Town.
Judging from Yun Zhao's quality of life when he was a child, there should have been gatekeepers near the manor castle who would have continuously supplied him with supplies.
Could it be that woman?
Who will be the gatekeeper of the area where Qingshan Town is located?
Xie Tu's mind raced, but his hands didn't stop moving; he quickly selected the ingredients needed for cooking.
Not far away, Jiang Mu strolled over slowly.
He stopped a few steps away from Xie Tu, stared at him for a long time, and raised an eyebrow. "How come you've been corrupted so badly? Why don't you get Yun Zhao to do some treatment?"
"No rush." Xie Tu closed the car door with a cold face and walked past him with the groceries.
Jiang Mu understood him in just one glance.
This is quite critical of his behavior of watching the spectacle when Yun Zhao lost control.
“She has already told Xia Mingang and me some information. She grew up in the contaminated area and has a red eye that is always watching her.”
Jiang Mu sighed and explained, "She won't be in danger here. If I were to forcefully stop her, we would be the ones in trouble."
Just how powerful Yun Zhao's mental strength is, and whether he can instantly control an S-class Sentinel, are all questions.
Jiang Mu had no desire to be the first guinea pig in the experiment.
Xie Tu stopped in his tracks, his tone calm, "How can you be so sure that the so-called red-eyed person didn't have any ill intentions towards her?"
"Uncertain, but for now, it doesn't seem like a gatekeeper."
Jiang Mu glanced at the things he took out of the car, and his tone became unusually serious: "Let's go, we'll talk after you wake up, remember to save some food for me."
Xie Tu: "Get out of here."
Jiang Mu: "Don't swear in front of children."
The Fire Phoenix and the Bixi have both gone astray; I hope they won't corrupt his White Xi Beast as well.
Xie Tu ignored him and carried the ingredients to the kitchen.
The kitchen was right next to the earthen house, a separate shed that He Guanghai had tidied up; pots, pans, and firewood were all readily available.
Xie Tu finished cooking, and the two people inside were still chatting.
The sentry had keen hearing and heard Yun Zhao and He Guanghai's conversation clearly.
She almost only said the good things.
Most of the content focuses on the current situation of people in Qingshan Town, the daily lives of children, and her life at the base, occasionally interspersed with some interesting stories from missions.
For example, Xie Tu heard Yun Zhao emphasize three times that he was now super rich and had so many points in his card that he couldn't spend them all.
She lives in an apartment building with an elevator, uses the most expensive furniture, has air conditioning, and eats meat at every meal...
He Guanghai was worried about her safety when she went on missions.
Yun Zhao then began to speak again: "I am an S-rank, the only S-rank! Little Bluebird is incredibly powerful; every mission is like a vacation for me..."
Xie Tu listened and then laughed.
He was about to go in and announce that dinner was served when he heard He Guanghai talking about him.
"What's the deal with that sentry who claims to be your boyfriend? You're young and haven't met many men. Don't be easily fooled by sweet words."
Xie Tu stopped in his tracks, wanting to hear Yun Zhao's answer.
Her voice came quickly, "He's my boyfriend. The town mayor and Aunt Zhao all know him. We've even had a meal together."
"I originally planned to marry him after I found my dad and uncles. Oh, by the way, my uncles don't know yet, my dad's name is Yun Jue..."
Xie Tu was slightly taken aback.
He didn't hear a word she said after that.
All I could think about was "I'll marry him..."
The sentry living across the street opened his door, drawn by the aroma of food.
But then they saw Captain Xie standing under the eaves with two bowls in his hands, motionless like a statue.
They didn't do anything, didn't dare to urge anyone, and after watching for ten minutes without any movement, they had no choice but to endure their hunger and close the door again.
What if Captain Xie didn't cook for them?
But could you please let them use the kitchen quickly...?
The two people inside were so engrossed in their conversation that Little Bluebird was the first to notice the cook standing outside.
Ah, time to eat!
The chef is still the best.
After feeding the strawberry milk, it will consciously go and cook.
The main body starved itself to death following those two good-for-nothings who couldn't take care of anyone!
For once, the little bluebird took the initiative. It flapped its wings, and wisps of fluorescent light emerged from beneath them, flying towards Xie Tu on its own.
The cook was very conscientious and went inside without any hindrance.
The fire phoenix was huddled in a corner of the spiritual realm, flapping restlessly, its consciousness aching. The little bluebird was outside, but its true form wouldn't let it out.
Familiar and refreshing energy seeped in through the cracks in the mental barrier.
Ah, Qingluan cares about me!
The fire phoenix perked up and became quite excited: "I haven't seen the Azure Phoenix for days! Let me out!"
But He Guanghai was inside.
Xie Tu clearly didn't want it to embarrass itself by showing up.
He opened the door at the right moment and said, "Dinner's ready. Let's talk after we eat."
