Chapter 11 Escaping the Contaminated Zone
As the collapse accelerated and connection with the outside world was established, the sentinels' keen senses were restored.
The next moment.
Click—
The entire contaminated area shattered suddenly, like a mirror!
It's like a membrane has broken, and everything has truly disappeared.
The yellow sand on both sides of the road came into view, and the surrounding area was desolate, with no houses in sight.
Ahead, a cordon appeared, indicating that reinforcements from Dawn Base had arrived.
"Everyone stay close! Don't get surrounded by the mutants!" Cheng Dongshu shouted into the walkie-talkie.
He stepped on the gas and sped off first.
The moment the domain vanished, the mutant transformed into a monster and lunged at the nearest person...
Immediately, a barrage of gunfire erupted from all directions.
Cheng Dongshu didn't dare look back. He slammed on the gas and fled for his life without a care in the world.
The drivers of the vehicles behind them stared intently at the SUV in front, and suddenly, like arrows released from a bow, they all roared out of the polluted area.
The big bluebird had somehow turned into a small bluebird, perched on Yun Zhao's shoulder, hopping and skipping between his shoulders.
It seems he was angered by that fire phoenix.
Yun Zhao ignored it and turned to look back through the car window.
Reinforcements from Dawn Base joined the battle.
The sound of artillery fire continued from behind. As the gray fog dissipated, the dark matter remained, intertwined with the figures of the sentries.
The advanced mutants were incredibly fast; they were merely blurry black shadows as they lunged forward with their sharp mandibles, wrapping around the weapons...
The monsters are relentlessly attacking the defensive line.
Various animal-type spirits appeared out of thin air, roaring as they charged forward, engaging in fierce battle with the mutants.
Once a spiritual entity is attached to dark matter, it will continuously erode the sentinel's mental domain.
Yun Zhao opened the car window and waved gently, sending countless green fluorescent lights hurtling towards the group of fighting spirits.
Most of the people on the bus were ordinary people, and there were also many children. She had to ensure everyone's safety and keep them away from the battlefield.
I hope all the sentries fighting on the front lines are doing well.
...
Duan Xi and Tao Haohao's car hadn't arrived yet.
The contaminated area collapsed.
The group was instantly surrounded by the mutants.
The monsters had lost their minds; their writhing mouthparts desperately sought out living people to feed on, surging forward relentlessly, killing them without end.
Team Zero of Dawn Base joins the effort to eliminate mutants at Dawn Base.
They watched helplessly as the seven vehicles sped out of the contaminated area and gradually disappeared from their sight.
"Captain! The guide has escaped!"
Rabbit carried her sniper rifle, and the three of them stood back to back, relentlessly killing the mutants that pounced on them.
They had used up all the inhibitors they carried.
Unless it's a matter of life and death, no one wants to release their spiritual body and increase the risk of mutation unless absolutely necessary.
Xie Tu drew his Tang sword and swung it down, splattering black slime everywhere. The mutant fell down with a wail.
The corrosive viscous liquid splattered onto the combat uniform and dripped down, leaving the uniform intact.
He didn't even turn around to look, and just gave a faint "hmm".
The rumbling of car horns grew louder as they approached.
Tao Haohao was yelling at Duan Xi, "Go! Do you even know how to drive?! Step on the gas! Why are you driving so slowly?!"
Duan Xiqi was extremely angry.
He gripped the steering wheel with one hand, firing his gun while driving, essentially running over everything in his path.
"If you're so capable, then you drive it!"
"I'm the team's heavy hitter, so come and try me if you dare."
Tao Haohao stood on the roof of the vehicle, suppressing the surrounding mutants with firepower. Finally, he spotted the captain and the others and quickly waved, "Get in the car!"
Bang bang bang—
Gunfire erupted all around.
Not far from them, the Dawn Base sentinels were engaged in fierce fighting because of a previous riot in the contaminated zone, which had resulted in an unusually large number of mutants in their vicinity.
Xie Tu covered his two teammates as they boarded the vehicle, and then nimbly climbed onto the roof.
The tacit understanding between teammates needs no explanation.
Tao Haohao immediately threw him a gun, and the two of them, one in front and one behind, one to help clear the way and the other to help clear the mutants near the sentry team ahead.
The pressure on the group eased, and they shouted back, "Thanks!"
Xie Tu raised his chin.
Duan Xi sighed, "Looks like I've made a wasted trip."
How could that guide be so fast? He disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Captain, should we go after them?" the rabbit poked its head out and asked.
Xie Tu glanced at her. "The car's out of gas, and we need to go to Dawn Base to collect our reward."
He found the gatekeeper, and five thousand points is no small amount; he might as well take it.
As for the guide...
The Dawn Base was in sight, but the vehicle turned southwest after leaving.
If I'm not mistaken, the destination of this migrating group is none other than their home base, Dawn Base.
Another group of survivors yearning for sunlight.
...
The seven vehicles sped along without stopping, leaving the battlefield far behind.
Due to the emergence of a new contaminated area, all the mutants fled to Zone 102.
The journey became very safe, and not a single monster could be seen.
The desolate yellow sand stretches as far as the eye can see, while waves of heat rise in the air.
We drove for a while longer.
Cheng Dongshu gradually slowed down and breathed a sigh of relief. "That was close. The contaminated area was terrifying."
"The shop next to the car suddenly opened its door, and a bunch of twisted people came out, which scared the children in the car."
"That's nothing, you didn't see it..." He Xiang quickly shared with Cheng Dongshu, "Sister Yun Zhao is super amazing, we got the key very quickly..."
Yun Zhao found it amusing, but looked helplessly at He Xiang, who was speaking with great enthusiasm.
She placed her backpack on her lap, hugged it, leaned against the car seat, and closed her eyes, pretending to doze off.
I don't know why.
The image of the fire phoenix that appeared in the contaminated area flashed through my mind.
The three S-class Sentinels of the four bases are renowned figures, and their spiritual forms are legendary.
Fire Phoenix...
Dawn Base, S-class Sentinel - Xie Tu.
She had He Xiang release the news in advance, which attracted him.
Xie Tu and his team are currently cleaning up the mutants, and they will likely catch up soon.
Yun Zhao knew very well what was going on.
A person from Qingshan Town can settle down in the large base, depending on their guide level.
She was the only bargaining chip in the entire town.
In the large base, everything from clothing and food to housing and transportation requires points.
Qingshan Town has a total of 188 people, but currently only one B-level sentry remains. The other dozen or so sentries are either C-level or D-level, which is nothing in a large base.
The remaining unawakened ordinary people, half of whom are elderly, weak, sick, or young, are still alive.
The sentries might be able to find a way out, but ordinary people would likely have a very difficult time in the large base.
If she wants to benefit everyone, her abilities are crucial.
Yun Zhao couldn't help but recall the day he awakened and became a guide.
What the town mayor said.
"I heard that the guides at the large base are pampered and live a luxurious life that ordinary people can't even imagine."
"Zhao Zhao, your spiritual body is very strong. Those large bases will welcome you very much. Go and live a good life."
"You'd better think this through. The people in town won't be a help to you; they'll only hold you back and become a burden..."
"If we don't leave, then we won't be able to leave at all."
But where can she go?
After her uncles passed away, neighbors often came over to visit and secretly gave her food.
He Pingping and He An'an's mother, despite her own difficult life after her husband's death, still took on the responsibility of caring for her.
She grew up in Qingshan Town.
Now that everyone has lost their homes and the future is uncertain, Qingshan Town can only rely on her.
