Is there a surprise in Chapter 74?

Knowing that the dinner party would be held outside the city, Bai Yu specially wore a tracksuit and tied her hair into a high ponytail.

She stood behind the building entrance like a thief, peeking outside every now and then.

I saw the elevator doors open.

Bai Yu was very outgoing and greeted the three of them, "Hurry up, the logistics department is coming to register and test soon."

She came out secretly without her father's knowledge.

She already knew what was happening outside; the outer city was now under complete martial law, but she had not received any notification from Yun Zhao that the gathering had been canceled.

After thinking for a long time, Bai Yu still secretly ran away.

"Is that car outside yours? Let's get in first!" Bai Yu ran over to open the door as if she knew the way well, and climbed into the back seat of the armored vehicle.

Song Liang was stunned by her actions.

We don't seem to know each other very well, do we?

Team Zero certainly knows Bai Yu, the only daughter of Director Bai of the Special Abilities Department.

But when did Yun Zhao become so familiar with her?

Xie Tu asked Yun Zhao with his eyes, "Is she the friend you're bringing?"

Yun Zhao nodded, "She gave me a gift, and I promised to treat her to a meal."

Inviting one person is the same as inviting a group of people, so why waste points by inviting them separately?

Of course, the main reason is that Bai Yu is outgoing and knows everyone, so she doesn't feel uncomfortable having meals together with others.

Bai Yu, on the other end, saw the staff entering the community with inspection equipment and waved and urged them on through the observation window of the armored vehicle.

Song Liang looked somewhat helpless as he walked over and got into the driver's seat.

Upon seeing Xie Tu there, the logistics personnel approached him with surprise and asked, "Team Leader Xie! Is there something going on here?"

Xie Tu opened the passenger door, leaving the back seat for the two girls, and replied, "It's okay, everything is normal here."

Song Liang greeted the logistics department staff, started the car, and drove away.

The vehicles from Team Zero arrived at the security checkpoint without any hindrance, and the staff immediately let them through as soon as they saw that it was Team Zero.

Bai Yu sat in the back seat, pulling Yun Zhao and talking nonstop, "I've never left the base before. You told me yesterday that we were going to eat outside the city, and I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night..."

Yun Zhao was somewhat surprised to hear this, "You've never even been outside the city?"

Bai Yu: "Yes, the farthest place I've ever been in my life is the outer city. I've always wanted to go out and see the world."

Bai Yu was born in the Dawn Base and grew up in the inner city.

Friends, family, and guides all said that the outside world was filled with mutants and various mutated beasts, as well as the eerie and deadly contaminated areas.

In short, it's very dangerous outside!

After awakening to become a guide.

Bai Yu couldn't understand why the sentries could go out, while the guides had to stay in the base.

Once, she went to a clinic in an outlying district to see patients, and after get off work, she wanted to sneak out for a quick look.

I just want to see the outside world for a moment, and then come back.

As soon as they reached the checkpoint, they were spotted and sent back to the inner city by the sentries.

Yun Zhao was at a loss for words upon hearing this.

She turned her head slightly to look at the base buildings receding outside the car window, and said only, "Actually, they weren't wrong, it is indeed very dangerous outside."

However, it is not a place that is completely untouchable.

She didn't say that.

The base has its own considerations.

From the base's perspective, guides are too scarce, and they lack both physical strength and combat skills.

Their sacrifice will only exacerbate the already dire situation outside.

But Yun Zhao was reminded once again of the girl statue in the central square.

During the Dark Ages, in those dark and hopeless years, the guides and sentinels fought side by side to eliminate the contaminated zone and restart the Southwest Sanctuary.

That is precisely why.

That's why Minister Duan disregarded everyone's objections and insisted on inviting her to join the Operations Department.

Neither of the two men sitting in front spoke.

Song Liang glanced at the indifferent-looking captain beside him, then turned back to concentrate on driving.

After the car drove out of the base.

Bai Yu stopped chatting with Yun Zhao and knelt on the folding seat, curiously looking out through the observation window.

Team Zero's training ground was just halfway up the mountain outside, very close. A few minutes later, the car stopped next to a bungalow.

This was also Yun Zhao's first time here.

She and Bai Yu got out of the car.

Halfway up the mountain, a spacious and well-organized training ground came into view.

The site is very large and divided into many areas. Some areas are fenced off with barbed wire, while others are blocked by a high wall.

Looking further into the distance, there is a simulated obstacle area, designed to mimic a combat environment, with various obstacles such as high walls, barbed wire, and trenches.

A row of large trees was transplanted around the site to provide shade.

Next to it are several neat and orderly bungalows with signs that read "Training Room" and "Equipment Room".

"There's also a shooting range behind the training room, nestled against the mountains, which you can freely visit," Song Liang explained.

They got off at a small parking lot, where the team members would park their cars when they came over.

Xie Tu glanced at the car next to him; clearly, the other three members of Team Zero had already returned with the ingredients.

Bai Yu was very excited. Upon hearing that they could visit freely, she pulled Yun Zhao into the training ground.

The ground beneath our feet was slightly rough, with shallow marks and potholes left from training visible everywhere.

Bai Yu looked around curiously, glancing left and right. After a while, she said, "Yun Zhao, let's go take a look at the back."

Yun Zhao was being led along by her. He turned his head to look at the silent training room, as if he had sensed something.

Are you trying to surprise her?

How did they know?

The little bluebird perched on her head, flapped its wings, and flew away, seemingly wanting to go and see what those people were doing inside.

Yun Zhao quickly reached out and caught it.

If the little guy runs over there now, he'll embarrass everyone else.

Seeing the two walk away, Xie Tu turned his gaze away and walked over to push open the training room door.

It can't be pushed.

The door was locked from the inside.

Rabbit, Duan Xi, and Tao Haohao are inside setting up the birthday party.

It just so happened that the base was holding a celebration, and balloons and ribbons were being sold all over the streets. The three of them took advantage of the time while they were getting ingredients to buy a whole bunch of them.

As for the birthday present, they bought it yesterday when they got back.

Wrap them in colored wrapping paper, pile them inside balloons, and let Yun Zhao guess which gift came from whom.

They heard a noise coming from outside.

"Didn't the captain say he'd hold them off and come later?"

The rabbit was still blowing up balloons, and said somewhat discontentedly, "We haven't finished decorating yet."

"How did the captain know that today is Yun Zhao's birthday?" Tao Haohao still didn't understand.

Rabbit turned her head and glared at him. "Have you forgotten? The captain saw Sister Yun Zhao's personal information on Minister Duan's computer."

At that time, I wanted to persuade her to join Team Zero.

Duan Xi was standing on a stool hanging ribbons when he turned his head and muttered to himself, "Last time it was my birthday, the captain just gave me a few hundred points to get rid of me..."

Outside the door.

Xie Tu couldn't open the door, so he simply stood under the eaves and waited.

He turned around and beckoned Song Liang to go check the back, but at that moment he suddenly received a message from Jiang Mu.

Jiang Mu has returned to the Dawn Base.

A message came in asking, "Does your guide only care about points? Have you forgotten about the diary?"
