Chapter 115 Double-Edged Sword
The next day.
Yun Zhao slept in again.
Her princess bed was so comfortable that getting out of bed became a difficult task.
Perhaps because the previous two missions were rather rushed, Minister Duan and the model team leader wanted everyone to have a good rest this time, and so far we haven't received any news about meetings or training.
Yun Zhao, however, could not be happy.
The delay will only be two or three days. She will probably have to start climbing the mountain to the training ground every day again tomorrow or the day after.
I hate climbing mountains.
Perhaps we could talk to the team leader and discuss alternative ways to train our physical strength.
Thinking this, Yun Zhao slowly got up from the bed and slowly moved to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.
In the living room.
The supplies we brought back yesterday were neatly piled up in the corner.
Aunt Zhao came by before leaving home this morning.
Breakfast was laid out on the table.
A few steamed buns and a bowl of porridge, served with a small dish of pickled vegetables and a boiled egg, but unfortunately they were all cold.
After washing up, Yun Zhao remembered the rice cooker and electric hot pot he had brought back and decided to try heating up his own food.
The little bluebird playing on the bird stand was very unhappy.
You said you only need to boil water.
Yun Zhao opened the packaging box and picked up the instruction manual to study it: "But I'm hungry now."
The little bluebird raised its neck: [Let's eat at the training ground.]
Clearly, Xie Tu's ability to cook has left a deep impression on the little guy.
Yun Zhao: "I can't drive, and I don't want to climb mountains."
The search team needs to go out to search for supplies and earn points to support their families; she can't have someone take her there every day.
The little bluebird was at its wit's end.
Another compromise.
It would never admit that its own body is lazy and useless.
Yun Zhao hadn't finished studying the instruction manual when there was a knock on the door.
She got up, went to open the door, and found it was the town mayor.
The old town mayor, wearing an old indigo blue cloth shirt and leaning on his cane, stood at the door without coming in. He waved to her and said, "Zhao Yan is working in the fields and won't be able to come back for lunch. Come to my house for lunch."
When Zhao Yan left home in the morning, she made a point of speaking to the town mayor.
Zhao Zhao was at home, and no one cooked lunch for her.
The old town mayor readily agreed.
Last night, every household received a lot of rice. He's so old, he's never seen such good rice before.
Zhao Zhao actually brought back so many in one go.
I have no idea where she got it.
He Xiang said he didn't spend any money, but the old town mayor didn't believe him at all.
Some families in the town ran out of food a few days ago, but the rice from the base is not expensive, only 5 points per kilogram. Every household just received their dividends from selling the buses, so they are not going hungry.
The old town mayor wanted to tell her.
"Keep the money for yourselves; they have hands and feet and won't starve."
The elderly man noticed that there was an untouched breakfast on the living room table.
He glared at Yun Zhao before continuing, "You've already given them two plots of land. This morning they were discussing buying some fruit trees to plant. In two years, when the fruit grows, every household will be set for life. So you don't need to worry about them anymore."
The fruit from the farm is expensive.
The variety of fruits is limited; there are only a few kinds, and they are all sold individually, and they are only available in the inner city.
Even if ordinary people are willing to spend points to buy one to try, the fruits are scarce, limited in quantity and purchase, and by the time it's the turn of people from the outer city, they're already sold out.
After discussion, the town unanimously decided to plant orange trees.
Old Liu said that he learned from chatting with someone that there were orange seedlings in the agricultural research institute.
The growers said that orange trees are easy to grow, have a high survival rate in winter, and the fruit can be stored for a long time after ripening. Even if they are not sold out within half a month, there is no need to worry about them spoiling.
Selling one for five points would be a huge sum of money.
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhao's eyes flickered. It seemed that the orange saplings were the ones she had brought back from the No. 88 contaminated area.
"Let's go downstairs and have some food."
Seeing that she remained silent, the old mayor, too lazy to continue, turned and walked towards the elevator. "Zhao Yan spoils you too much. Even if you need to rest, you still have to get up and eat breakfast. Next time, eat before you sleep..."
"Understood." Yun Zhao waved to the little bluebird, picked up the half-disassembled rice cooker, and followed the old town mayor out the door.
Just as she reached the door, she thought for a moment, then went back inside to take the untouched breakfast to the mayor's house to heat it up.
It's already early October, and the temperature is still unbearably hot.
Breakfast will definitely spoil if left out for a day; even though she's super rich, she can't just waste food.
Before leaving, I grabbed a few more bottles of side dishes: shiitake mushroom and beef, spicy mixed vegetables, wild mushroom sauce...
It would definitely taste good as a side dish or mixed with noodles.
The old town mayor stood in the elevator and glared at her when he saw her coming out with large and small bags.
Yun Zhao quickly said, "I didn't buy it, it's really free..."
They brought back hundreds of rice cookers. Even if Team Zero didn't wash them, it would take them several months to throw one away a day.
The old town mayor didn't believe her, but he really couldn't do anything about it.
"Those three hundred points from last time..."
Before the old mayor could finish speaking, Yun Zhao held the communicator up to him and showed him his account balance, "I have over 60,000 in my account right now..."
This does not include the points rewards for contaminated zone No. 28.
The old town mayor: "..."
The old man stared at the astronomical figure, speechless for a long time.
In the end, it all turned into a sigh.
She had only been at the base for a short time, yet she had already earned so many points.
Zhao Zhao's guide level is too high, and being too sharp may not be a good thing.
Being too dazzling often attracts more trouble.
The world is a difficult place.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
After all, she was a child he had watched grow up, and the old mayor began to worry about her future.
Yun Zhao comforted him, "Grandpa Mayor, don't worry about me. Look how well I'm doing now..."
She really dislikes trouble.
The contaminated area is indeed very dangerous.
But fortune favors the bold. Without entering the polluted area, how could you accumulate so many points to eat meat and eggs and drink milk every day?
The old town mayor had no choice but to take her into his home.
*
Yun Zhao had lunch at the town mayor's house and then returned home to continue lying around like a corpse.
The bed is comfortable, and the sofa is comfortable too.
Yun Zhao lay on the sofa, flipping through the diary over and over again.
If the guides possessed this ability a hundred years ago, there shouldn't have been only one.
Isn't she a perfect example?
Are there other guides outside who can use 'spiritual guidance'?
It's just that this ability is too overpowered, capable of turning sentinels into puppets, into knives in the hands of guides.
The guide, who is always considered weak, has the ability to control the world's strongest fighting force.
If this gets out, it will undoubtedly cause a huge uproar in the entire Sentinel and Guide community.
The sentinels may no longer dare to trust the guides, and the guides will live in endless suspicion and fear.
It's like a double-edged sword; it can both protect and destroy.
Guides will definitely choose to conceal their abilities to avoid becoming the target of criticism.
Like that old white guy, he killed a sentry.
Yun Zhao guessed that the sentinel must have discovered the 'psychic pull', and in order to protect his friend, Lao Bai chose to kill him to silence him.
Take her for example.
At the time, everyone, including Xie Tu and Jiang Mu, believed that Zhou Tianqi and his Black Panther spirit body had re-established their connection after the gatekeeper died due to the collapse of the contaminated area.
They were unaware that she had used mind control.
Yun Zhao couldn't possibly reveal this matter and put himself in the spotlight.
It would be best to wait for Jiang Mu to come out, ask him where the diary came from, find out the shelter where the diary's owner was, or confirm the year.
The diary was borrowed from Jiang Mu, and I will return it sooner or later.
Since Yun Zhao had nothing to do anyway, he simply took out his notebook and pen and copied down the contents to study later.
She had just copied two pages when her communicator vibrated.
[Xie Tu]: "I'm downstairs in your apartment complex. Let's go to the counseling room together."
