Chapter 116 Evacuation Room
A evacuation room?
Yun Zhao has been at the Dawn Base for so long, and he has been thinking about visiting the evacuation room since the first day, but he still hasn't been able to go.
"Okay, I'll be right down."
Yun Zhao took the notes he had just copied back to his room, tidied himself up, and went downstairs.
She took the elevator to the first floor, opened the tightly closed unit door, and immediately saw Xie Tu standing outside.
The man stood tall and straight like a pine tree, quietly by the door.
He has a cold and aloof appearance, with sharp lips, and just standing there gives people a strong sense of pressure.
The stairwell on the first floor was quiet, and there was no one outside the community. During the day, everyone was out working, so it didn't attract much attention.
Xie Tu picked her up, glanced at her, and asked first, "Have you eaten?"
Yun Zhao replied silently, "I ate at the mayor's house today."
He didn't eat lunch yesterday, so he assumed he hadn't eaten today either?
"Let's go then, the car is parked at the bus stop." Xie Tu was relieved.
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhao turned around, closed the unit door, and asked, "Why did you suddenly decide to go to the evacuation room?"
The base's evacuation room was useless to him.
Since she joined Team Zero, not only Xie Tu, but also the other team members have never gone to the counseling room for psychological counseling.
"It's Minister Bai who wants you to go and find out about the situation." Xie Tu turned his head slightly, his gaze falling on Yun Zhao, his voice calm and low.
Yun Zhao found it strange.
Why didn't Minister Bai notify her himself, but instead notified Xie Tu?
However, Xie Tu didn't say anything, so she didn't press him further.
The two walked out of the residential area side by side and took a car to the inner city.
On the way, Yun Zhao sent Bai Yu a message.
That girl probably doesn't know she's back.
Yun Zhao waited for a few minutes but didn't receive a reply. Bai Yu must be busy, so she didn't bother with it.
Armored off-road vehicles entered the inner city without hindrance.
The location of the evacuation center is even more remote than I imagined, situated at the northernmost part of the inner city.
The exterior is an unassuming, simple gray building that looks quite unremarkable.
Xie Tu parked the armored vehicle opposite, and the two entered the gate together.
The spacious hall was quiet and uncluttered, with no superfluous decorations, and faint white noise could be heard playing from inside.
Minister Bai was standing in the hall, talking to a tall sentry.
Hearing the noise at the door, the two turned their heads at the same time.
They saw two people walk in.
The tall sentry greeted him, "Thank you, Captain!"
He appeared tired and unwell, clearly having come here for psychological counseling.
Xie Tu nodded slightly and introduced to Yun Zhao beside him, "This is Xu Mingcheng from the Sixth Team of the Operations Department."
The operations department consists of thirteen teams.
Apart from Team Zero, all the others work in pairs to carry out missions.
Their main responsibilities include cleaning up contaminated areas ranging from two to three stars and intelligence gathering.
This was the first time Yun Zhao had encountered high-ranking sentries from other combat teams since arriving at the base.
She nodded gently. "Hello."
Xu Mingcheng clearly knew her identity.
He was in low spirits and seemed to be enduring pain. He gave her a forced smile as a greeting.
The little bluebird perched on its host's shoulder, arrogantly tilting its head back, ignoring them.
Minister Bai said, "He came over to provide psychological counseling. Guide Yuan is in the noise reduction room and will have to wait a while."
The senior sentries in the inner city, especially those in the operations department, have almost all undergone compatibility tests with all the guides in the base.
When they come to provide guidance, they will prioritize choosing the guide who is the most compatible with them.
Yun Zhao had met the guide Yuan that Minister Bai mentioned.
It was that long-haired, gentle-tempered A-level guide named Yuan Lan.
Her spiritual form is a lop-eared rabbit.
Xie Tu nodded slightly, gesturing for everyone to move to the rest area and sit down to talk.
Minister Bai walked beside Yun Zhao and said gently, "I called you here today to show you the daily work of the evacuation center."
The mental power of an S-rank guide is too strong.
Although she joined the operations department, if an emergency occurs in the evacuation room, such as a sentry experiencing a mental outburst or a mutation, she is still in charge.
If other guides are unable to handle the situation, it may be necessary to ask her for help.
Yun Zhao nodded in agreement, "That's exactly what I was curious about too."
"That's good." Minister Bai said with a smile, "I only found out you were back when I met Captain Xie this morning, and I mentioned it to him."
Minister Bai thought that she was now a member of Team Zero and had training duties to perform.
He knew it wouldn't be right to call the person directly, so he informed him first.
Who would have thought that Xie Tu would personally bring the person over?
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhao turned to look at Xie Tu.
Does he not need to rest?
Why did you come to the inner city so early in the morning?
Xie Tu caught her gaze, tilted his head in her direction, and explained in a low voice, "Minister Duan wants to see me."
Xu Mingcheng, who was sitting to the side, couldn't help but look over when he heard this.
He was feeling unwell, as if an invisible pressure was overwhelming him, enveloping him layer by layer.
A piercing pain deep in his head made it impossible for him to think.
What's going on with Captain Xie?
Is he reporting his itinerary to his teammates?
He must have been in a 'dreamlike' state, otherwise how could he have heard such outrageous things?
Minister Bai coughed lightly, "I'll take you inside to show you the guide's workflow."
"Okay, then I'll trouble Minister Bai." Yun Zhao hadn't even settled in his seat before he stood up again.
Xie Tu did not follow, but stayed in the hall with Xu Mingcheng.
Yun Zhao followed Minister Bai from the hall into an open courtyard.
The interior layout resembles a courtyard design, with a touch of antique charm. Each courtyard is connected by a covered walkway, which is a certain distance apart.
As soon as Yun Zhao stepped into this place, he heard the faint sound of waves.
It is continuous and stable, without any prominent specific frequency.
It gives an auditory impression of being stable and without any obvious features.
This is typical white noise.
Along the covered walkway, two guards are stationed every twenty meters.
"There are more than 30 noise reduction rooms here, and the environment is designed to be as close to nature as possible in order to calm the sentries down."
Minister Bai led her along the corridor, saying as they walked, "The noise control room in the outer city is larger, with sixty noise reduction rooms."
The base has a population of nearly 300,000, with more than 20,000 sentries, but fewer than 200 guides.
The proportions are severely imbalanced.
Almost all guides participate in the crowd control work.
“Normally, one guide sits in a noise reduction room. Occasionally, special situations will occur, such as when an A-level sentinel goes into a mental breakdown, requiring the intervention of two guides with a compatibility score of over 60.”
Minister Bai: "Guides have limited mental energy. After mental counseling, especially for guides below level B, they need to rest for a long time before they can continue."
Especially in the inner city, almost all the sentries who come here are high-ranking sentries.
Their mental domain is vast, two to three times larger than that of a Class B Sentinel, requiring the Guides to expend much more effort to clear the dark matter within it.
Yun Zhao listened attentively and asked a question at the right time, "So, what should we pay attention to when providing psychological counseling?"
"Of course, the most important thing is that we must establish a relationship of trust with each other."
Minister Bai: "The sentinels are very sensitive. They will immediately notice if someone is lying or being perfunctory. When you enter their mental realm, it will trigger an unconscious attack from them."
Such accidents have happened before.
The guide was in a bad mood and impatient, which directly affected the sentry, causing him to completely lose control.
Yun Zhao paused.
It seems that the guides' lives were not as easy as outsiders imagined.
Everyone has bad days at work.
For the guide, such emotional fluctuations are fatal, because the guide has no combat ability and is no match for the sentinel.
An out-of-control sentinel could harm them.
Xie Tu should really be allowed to come in and listen in.
Minister Bai said helplessly, "Therefore, in order to protect the safety of the guides, the sentries who enter the noise reduction room will have their mobility temporarily restricted."
