Chapter 674 The Lighthouse (Part Two)

front.

The guides also received the message.

Upon learning that Yun Zhao was unharmed and had returned, Bai Yu was overjoyed and filled with disbelief.

After the initial excitement, she hesitated. The battle on the front lines was intense, and the guides were indispensable. What would happen to the sentries if they all left?

Just then, a huge phoenix flew in from afar.

A magnificent phoenix soared through the air, its wings scattering countless golden specks of light, like warm raindrops falling on the battlefield, drawing everyone's attention.

"What are you all standing there for! That's the Cloud Guide's spiritual thread, catch it quickly!"

The sentries who had received guidance from Yun Zhao reacted, their voices booming like thunder across the battlefield.

The sentries, who had been slow to react due to exhaustion and corrosion, suddenly jolted and almost instinctively reached out to try to catch the falling golden specks of light.

The moment the light touched the sentinel's skin, it quietly seeped in, and the mental landscape that had been restless due to the erosion of dark matter miraculously gained a brief period of peace and comfort.

Bai Yu immediately understood Yun Zhao's intention.

The countless strands of spiritual energy were meant to temporarily stabilize the state of the sentries at the front, allowing the guides to leave and head to the assembly point.

Without further hesitation, she shouted to the equally stunned guides around her, "Quick! Follow orders! Go to the central square! Leave this to Big Blue Bird!"

The guides quickly regained their composure, guiding the sentries to retrieve the precious spiritual threads while orderly disengaging from the battlefield and heading towards the base.

at the same time.

Inside the armored vehicle, Xia Mingang was the first to lose his composure, turning his head to ask, "What exactly is the plan?"

Why is it necessary for all guides to cooperate?

Yun Zhao had no intention of hiding anything, "Do you still remember the method Kerry mentioned for eliminating dark matter?"

Fu Heng continued, "Destroy the source, and cover it up!"

“That’s right,” Yun Zhao said. “The source has been destroyed, and no more dark matter will be generated, but the black seeds that have already been sown can only be treated with the second method.”

cover.

Use stronger, more orderly rules to completely eliminate them.

Yun Zhao continued, "It would be difficult for me to clear away all the dark matter on my own, but have you forgotten about the twin towers that our base is currently building..."

Jiang Mu understood almost immediately, "Exactly the same as those two towers in your hometown?"

Yun Zhao nodded: "Yes, the blueprints were given to me by my father, and the materials were collected from various polluted areas over the past few decades. They have the same function as the real black and white towers."

Kerry said that the Black Tower can absorb dark matter, while the White Tower can purify it.

By injecting spiritual power into the tower, one can transform and completely rewrite the rules of dark matter.

This is why Yun Zhao insisted on returning to the Dawn Base.

"However, Kerry also said that the Twin Towers require strong mental support."

Yun Zhao paused for a moment, "Without enough high-level guides, we can only rely on sheer numbers to activate it."

...

at the same time.

All the guides at the Dawn Base have gathered at the central square.

The statue of a young girl in the center of the square, gentle and serene, gazes into the distance as always, appearing even softer in the darkness.

Minister Duan waited below the statue and saw Chief Shen and Minister Bai arrive. He then briefly explained the situation.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that the 5S team had returned safely without a single member missing.

As long as humanity has the strength to fight, they have nothing to fear.

Before they could have a proper conversation, ten emergency transport vehicles arrived and stopped at the platform.

Minister Duan gave the order: "Notify all guides to get on the bus! Once we arrive at our destination, Yun Zhao will explain to them."

"yes."

The guides, having received the notification, boarded the vehicle one by one.

After searching privately, Minister Bai finally found his daughter safe and sound near the station, along with Wei Xu, who had followed them there at some unknown time.

The Twin Towers are separated from the base by two mountains, and a large number of mutants gather along the way.

For the guides' safety, Minister Han ordered the remaining sentries inside the base to help escort the guides across.

Wei Xu had just returned to the base when he realized that Bai Yu was among them, so he rushed over as soon as he received the news.

Bai Yu was about to get into the car when she turned her head unintentionally and spotted him among a group of sentries, along with the bloody wound on his left arm.

She quickly got out of the car and asked somewhat anxiously, "How did you get hurt?"

Wei Xu reassured her, "It's nothing, just a minor injury."

Bai Yu's fingertips curled unconsciously, her gaze fixed on the hideous wound on Wei Xu's left arm.

The edges of the deep, bone-exposed laceration had an abnormal bluish-black tinge, clearly left by a high-level mutant.

"This is considered a minor injury?" Her voice tightened, and she immediately rummaged through her medical kit for wound medicine and bandages. "The dark matter is already corroding it; it must be treated immediately!"

Wei Xu let her do as she pleased, his deep gaze falling on her slightly trembling eyelashes.

He had just been withdrawn from the front lines; his combat uniform was torn and covered in blood, a stark contrast to Bai Yu's guide uniform, which, though exhausted, remained impeccably clean.

"Minister Bai is here." He suddenly spoke, his voice low and hoarse with exhaustion.

Bai Yu looked up and, sure enough, saw his father standing not far away, his eyes fixed on them.

She felt a little guilty, and her hand trembled as she treated the wound.

Wei Xu's muscles tensed instantly, but he didn't even let out a muffled groan.

Minister Bai walked over and sighed, "Time is of the essence, let's deal with it in the car."

Compared to physical injuries, the erosion on Wei Xu's mental state was far more severe.

It's admirable that he persevered through sheer willpower.

Minister Bai noticed this and, after getting into the car, offered him some basic emotional support.

To make it easier to clean up the dark matter, his spiritual serval escaped from the spiritual realm, but it clung to Bai Yu and refused to get off, scaring the timid little white cat so much that it stayed at home and dared not come out.

Minister Bai sighed again, deciding to pretend he hadn't seen it.

Fortunately, Wei Xu was sensible enough to thank Minister Bai after he finished directing traffic, and then went to the roof of the car to help clear the way.

With her elderly father by her side, Bai Yu didn't dare to utter a sound.

Soon after, the roars of the mutants could be heard from outside the car.

It was pitch black all around, and I couldn't see anything.

The car became very quiet.

The guides took the opportunity to rest and replenish their energy.

By the time the transport vehicle arrived near the White Tower, Xie Tu and the others had already cleared out the surrounding monsters.

Yun Zhao entered the tower ahead of time.

Upon inspection, it was found that the exterior of the White Pagoda had already been completed, but the interior was in disarray, filled with building materials.

Yun Zhao gently placed his palm on the cold tower wall, attempting to channel his spiritual energy.

A very faint humming sound suddenly came from inside the tower.

Immediately afterwards, with her palm as the center, a wisp of light struggled to light up, spreading out with difficulty into several hair-like bright lines that flowed along the lines on it.

The light lasted for only a second.

As if an invisible hand had extinguished the flame, the bright line quickly dimmed and disappeared.

Yun Zhao confirmed that it was effective and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She walked out of the White Tower, where more than two hundred guides had gathered.

"This white tower can purify the darkness."

Yun Zhao spoke succinctly, his gaze sweeping over every tired yet expectant face in the square, "Are you willing to join me in lighting humanity's last beacon?"
