Chapter 108 Plantation
Yun Zhao covered his head and slept soundly until noon.
She opened her eyes and stared blankly for a while before slowly turning over and reaching for the communicator on the cabinet.
There is an unread message on the communicator.
[Xie Tu]: Come over for dinner tonight.
Team Zero has a tradition of organizing a get-together every time they return.
Yun Zhao didn't reply. He put down the communicator, got out of bed to wash up, and planned to go there now.
When Team Zero set off to carry out the mission, the remaining supplies for Contaminated Zone 88 had not yet been transported back.
She needs to go to the training ground to take a look.
Another thing is the diary that Jiang Mu mentioned, which records the abilities of the guides, including the unknown ability—mental traction.
It is said to be a means of controlling sentries.
This is a terrifying ability.
If the guide could control the sentinels and make them obey his every command, the entire world order could be overturned.
The sentinels' immense power could have dire consequences if it fell into the hands of a misguided guide.
But Yun Zhao does not reject this ability.
If a serious crisis were to occur in the contaminated area in the future, she would not hesitate to control her teammates if necessary.
After washing up, Yun Zhao went back to her room to change into a clean sky-blue tracksuit. She then opened the closet, picked and chose a bottle of strawberry milk and a box of strawberry sandwich cookies.
Then he called the little bluebird to go outside.
The little bluebird was playing on the small swing that Zhao Yan had made for it.
Hearing that we were going out, the little guy, who was having a great time, became a bit reluctant.
Why go out again after just getting back?
Yun Zhao: "We need to go check on the supplies."
Can't we go tomorrow?
Yun Zhao: "There might be other things to do tomorrow. I might have to go to the Institute of Biological Sciences or attend a meeting at the Operations Department."
The amount of the reward for that batch of materials and specimens is unknown; it will only be released after the reinforcements register and report it.
It might take a few days.
Since the journey was short, Team Zero returned to base that very night.
The little bluebird reluctantly hopped onto her shoulder and followed her out the door.
The hallway was quiet, and the door to room 1201 next door was tightly closed.
The two children are attending school.
Zhao Yan probably didn't know she was back, so he didn't call her for lunch.
Yun Zhao took the elevator to the first floor.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, she saw two boys squatting in the hallway.
Seeing that they had finally found someone, He Xiang and Cheng Dongqing quickly stood up and greeted her, "Good morning, Sister Yun Zhao!"
Yun Zhao didn't return until midnight last night, and the only ones who knew about it were the sentries who were alerted by the noise.
He Xiang was originally going hunting today, but upon learning that she had returned, everyone postponed it for a day, and the others went out to cut grass instead.
The two men didn't dare to knock on the door and disturb her rest, so they simply waited on the only way down the first floor.
A lot has happened in town recently.
They need to tell Sister Yun Zhao.
Who would have thought that we would wait from morning until noon?
Yun Zhao glanced at He Xiang, "Are you feeling better?"
He Xiang, fearing she wouldn't let him out, nodded repeatedly, "Alright, after breaking through to B-level Sentinel, my physical condition is much stronger than before, and the wound scabbed over in just a few days..."
Cheng Dongqing, standing to the side, looked on with envy.
He Xiang's spiritual body, although somewhat... is hard to describe.
They recently started hunting mutated animals, and they had to release the sloth's spirit an hour in advance, placing it behind the trap as a roadblock.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to climb out of the mental realm even after the battle was over.
The town's search team consisted of low-level sentries, and since the sloth was the only spiritual being, everyone was very tolerant of it and would pet it whenever they had free time.
Cheng Dongqing was very envious; he also wanted to break through to B-level Sentinel and possess his own spiritual body.
"Sister Yun Zhao, are you going out?" He Xiang asked tentatively.
Yun Zhao nodded. "Is the car here?"
She didn't want to walk there; climbing mountains in this heat would be exhausting...
Today wasn't a training day, so she wanted to slack off and had them drive her there.
Cheng Dongqing quickly replied, "Yes, not many people went out today, only one car left. By the way, those five buses have been sold. Based on the points accumulated from buying the buses, the town mayor decided to distribute the profits to each household proportionally."
The three chatted as they walked and soon arrived at the garage behind the residential complex.
There was only one SUV parked in the entire garage.
He Xiang said, "The residents of the other buildings in the community all work at the base; only people from our town have cars."
People living in the base may not leave the base even once a year.
Transportation within the base is fairly convenient, with a bus stop right below the residential area.
Cars require maintenance, and with expenses such as fuel, very few people would buy a car unless they have a specific need for it.
"We were lucky to run into a search team from a small base. They needed a large truck because it was too far for them to go out, and they could carry more cargo each time..."
"Transport trucks are much more expensive than buses."
“There happened to be someone in the search team who knew about cars, so they thought of buying a bus and modifying it themselves.”
Cheng Dongqing sat in the driver's seat, thought for a moment, and said, "Sister Yun Zhao, if you need to frequently go in and out of the inner city, it would be best to learn to drive. That would be more convenient."
Yun Zhao paused, remembering that the captain had said he would teach him to drive.
As a result, she only managed to touch the target after five days of training, and the training progress was slow, so learning to drive has not yet been scheduled.
"Yes, I'll learn," Yun Zhao replied casually, opening the car door and getting into the passenger seat.
The three of them got into the car together.
Cheng Dongqing was in charge of driving. He started the car, assuming that Yun Zhao was going to the inner city, and drove the car out of the community through the back gate without asking.
He Xiang is reporting on the events of the past few days.
"Everyone was overjoyed when they learned there were two plots of land. The mayor said those two plots were yours and would be given to you to cultivate... We've already gone to see them; the land is behind that mountain, quite far away."
The agricultural research institute in the inner city has its experimental fields and laboratories located outside the base.
It is very large in scale.
After crossing a mountain, surrounded by green hills, there is an endless expanse of fields that spread out in terraces on the hillside.
Viewed from above, it resembles a giant green staircase, stretching into the distance in a staggered pattern. Each plot of land is planted with various grains, creating a particularly spectacular scene.
High walls and electric fences were erected on the perimeter to prevent mutants and mutated animals from entering.
Several high-ranking sentry teams also patrol the area daily.
He Xiang said, "Fortunately, the base has cars that transport the planters to and from get off work. We shamelessly asked them, and the base agreed to let people from the town hitch a ride there every day."
There is one bus at 8:00 AM and one bus at 5:00 PM. We will not wait for those who are late.
They all knew in their hearts that the land was provided by the base, and that the agricultural research institute staff were probably only willing to give them a ride because of Sister Yun Zhao.
Mutants could break through at any time, and although there are electric fences along the way, it's not safe to walk across.
"These past few days everyone has been planting wheat. The seeds were bought from the Agricultural Research Institute. Everyone is very busy right now. They leave in the morning to take lunch with them and don't come back until evening. Aunt Zhao went today too..."
Yun Zhao listened silently; no wonder Aunt Zhao wasn't home today.
The distribution of grain is based on the value of labor; the less labor one contributes, the less grain one receives.
Her family only has Aunt Zhao as a breadwinner. Pingping and An'an eat lunch at school, so Aunt Zhao doesn't have to take care of the children. Perhaps she plans to focus on planting the crops in her assigned area before winter arrives.
Cheng Dongqing listened to He Xiang's report while focusing on driving.
Just as he was about to turn left into the inner city, he heard Yun Zhao say, "Turn right, I'm going outside the city."
