Chapter 75 Zero Team's Training Ground

journal?

That unclaimed diary that records 'spiritual attraction'?

Xie Tu replied, "Just hand it over to the transport vehicle."

The reinforcements from both bases remained on section 88, guarding the few high-speed rail supplies.

When the next transport team from Dawn Base arrives, we'll hand it over to the people at their base to bring back.

Jiang Mu readily agreed: "Okay."

There has been no further response, indicating that Dawn Base has not received any news of the incident at the celebration.

Yun Zhao was dragged around the back mountain by Bai Yu.

The training ground is located halfway up the mountain, with the unique refreshing air of the mountain forest. In the sweltering summer, it is much cooler on the mountain compared to the base.

"As expected of Team Zero, they actually have such a large secret base."

The training ground is extremely large, and in addition to the shooting range, there are two armories at the back.

Bai Yu said with some envy, "You guys are lucky. When you get tired of staying in the base, you can go out and get some fresh air."

Yun Zhao subconsciously replied, "Then next time you want to come out, I'll bring you here to play again."

She seemed distracted, her mind clearly elsewhere.

Yun Zhao was thinking about what kind of expression he should make when he pushed open the door to the training room.

Was it a feigned surprise?

Or should I confess that I already knew?

The former requires acting skills, while the latter seems to turn the surprise carefully prepared by the teammates into nothing.

Yun Zhao was conflicted.

"Hey? That house down there, isn't that Captain Xie's house?"

Bai Yu pulled Yun Zhao along, and before they knew it, they had turned to the vicinity of the valley behind the mountain, and came to a winding path.

Yun Zhao was lost in thought when he heard this, and subconsciously looked in the direction Bai Yu was pointing.

At the end of the path, nestled among lush green trees at the foot of the mountain, stood a two-story house, quietly nestled in the valley.

The house was surrounded by a low stone wall, with green vines climbing on it.

From their perspective, they couldn't see the entire house; they could only see one side of a wall made of special soundproofing material.

Below, the sounds of wind and flowing water create a natural white noise effect in the valley.

White noise is a sound that is harmless to the sentry’s keen senses when no barrier is erected.

For example, natural sounds such as water sounds and wind sounds are white noise.

S-class Sentinels may appear glamorous on the surface, but they are constantly tormented by external forces.

Yun Zhao thought silently.

Has Xie Tu never had a good night's sleep since becoming an S-class Sentinel?

The mental barrier will not be removed for the time being.

In the future, when not performing tasks, we should try our best to build a barrier to isolate him from noise.

Instead of going down to visit, the two toured the entire training ground before returning to the row of bungalows on the outer edge.

The three rabbits had come out of the training room and were processing ingredients under a tree. There were two pots next to them, and water was boiling in them.

I saw them come back.

The rabbit waved and said, "Sister Yun Zhao, Guide Bai, let's just have a quick lunch and then have hot pot for dinner!"

Because of the unexpected delay, it was already almost 3 p.m.

Yun Zhao casually glanced at the closed training room door and nodded. "I'm fine with anything."

Bai Yu leaned closer and said in a familiar tone, "Rabbit, don't be so formal, you can call me by my name."

Rabbit: "Okay."

Bai Yu was satisfied and started chatting with the rabbit.

Yun Zhao is very quiet; he only replies to one sentence out of every ten sentences Bai Yu speaks. Rabbit, on the other hand, is very talkative; when they chat, they can talk about almost anything.

The three burly men at the next table, perhaps feeling guilty, were cutting meat with their backs to them, without uttering a sound.

Xie Tu, holding fire tongs, sat leisurely on a small stool, leaning against the towering tree. His gaze seemed to casually sweep over the leaping flames, but in reality, he was meticulously observing everything around him.

His gaze inadvertently swept over the crowd before finally settling on Yun Zhao.

She sat quietly between two girls, listening to their conversation, but seemed somewhat distracted.

Her subtle glance towards the training room just now, though understated, clearly suggested that she knew something.

When did she discover it?

The water has boiled.

Xie Tu turned around, opened a bag of noodles, threw it into the pot, and took out a pair of chopsticks to stir it in the pot.

The noodles were ready quickly.

The group ate a simple bowl of noodles.

As soon as they finished eating their noodles, Bai Yu asked impatiently, "What are we going to do next?"

She was still excited when she left the base for the first time.

I can't wait to rush into the training field, play ball, play games, or watch them train—anything is fine.

"Let's take a break."

Xie Tu spoke slowly and deliberately, "Except for Duan Xi, he's been slacking off in training lately and needs to go to the shooting range for three extra hours of practice."

They like to point guns at people, but they'll just point at the target and shoot slowly.

Duan Xi: "..." He knew the captain couldn't have forgotten!

Upon hearing this, Tao Haohao subconsciously took two steps back, buried his head in deep thought, and carefully recalled whether he had done anything to offend the captain during the mission.

When Xie Tu's gaze swept over, even Bai Yu, apart from Yun Zhao, subconsciously shut her mouth.

As expected of an S-class Sentinel!

"It's too hot; meat will spoil easily if left outside..."

Tao Haohao couldn't remember after thinking for a long time, so he simply picked up the chopped meat on the table and ran away, shouting loudly, "I'll go in first and put the meat in the freezer."

The rabbit realized what was happening and quickly retreated, saying, "I...I...I'll go get some snacks."

Song Liang stood up with a bitter face. "I haven't written my report yet. I need to go inside to write it."

The three disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"A bunch of traitors!" Duan Xi was so angry he gritted his teeth.

Can't we stand on the same side as him and fight back just once?

Duan Xi placed his hopes on Yun Zhao and looked at her with pleading eyes.

Yun Zhao pointed to himself and added, "Have you forgotten that I'm the one you're pointing a gun at?"

Duan Xi: "..."

Hope shattered.

The captain said three hours, so not a minute less is acceptable, otherwise we won't be able to survive the next few days.

Duan Xi got up resignedly and headed dejectedly to the shooting range.

Suddenly, only Yun Zhao, Xie Tu, and Bai Yu remained outside.

When Yun Zhao heard Tao Haohao mention freezers, he casually asked, "Do you have any extra freezers?"

Xie Tu, holding fire tongs and extinguishing the fire on the open-air stove, didn't look up when he heard this. "There's plenty."

There were already two freezers at the training ground, used to freeze water and food.

This time, the truck unloaded at the training ground and brought back seven or eight freezers, which were all piled up in the warehouse, taking up a lot of space.

Xie Tu knew she wouldn't ask this for no reason, so he looked up at her and asked, "You want a freezer?"

Yun Zhao nodded.

A smile appeared in Xie Tu's eyes: "I'll take you home tonight and deliver it to you while I'm at it."

Yun Zhao: "Okay, thank you."

Xie Tu remembered the message Jiang Mu had sent earlier, so he told her about the diary.

Yun Zhao blinked, "I really forgot if you hadn't mentioned it..."

She had just come out of the contaminated area, and her mind was filled with points and rewards; she couldn't think of anything else.

"When will it be delivered?" Yun Zhao asked.

Xie Tu: "On the 7th or 8th, after the Dawn Base transport team takes the goods to section 88, they will be handed over to our transport team to bring them back."

Bai Yu silently picked up the water glass on the table and stood up.

Instead of sitting here, she might as well go to the shooting range and watch Duan Xi shoot targets.
