Chapter 139 Waste
The teammates ran back to their respective assigned areas.
I want to find the order of points in time based on information in a static scene.
In an instant, only Xie Tu and Yun Zhao remained in the middle of the arena.
Yun Zhao also stood up, intending to look in a few other directions. She asked the little bluebird, "Which scene do you like?"
The little bluebird tilted its head: [My choice?]
Yun Zhao: "I can give you some suggestions; maybe the captain will adopt them."
The little bluebird was somewhat dissatisfied with this.
It proudly raised its head: "My choice is definitely the best; I don't need the sentry's approval."
Yun Zhao reassured it: "Of course your choice is the best, but we can only make a choice by discussing it together. Your opinion is very important."
Xie Tu couldn't hear what the human and the spirit were talking about; he simply stayed quietly by her side.
The little bluebird thought the original creature's words made sense.
It flapped its wings and flew out, took a thorough look around, and then flew back to land on her shoulder.
The school is bustling with activity.
Yun Zhao: "Anything else?"
The park has beautiful scenery.
Yun Zhao was silent for a moment, then said, "Alright."
The teammates returned quickly.
Just as Xie Tu had predicted.
A static scene is only a corner of the picture, and the time of most of it cannot be determined. Observing only a corner of the scene is of no use.
For a small number of scenes, the approximate time point can be inferred.
For example, in offices and schools, the time is narrowed down to between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., with noon to 2 p.m. excluded.
Xie Tu looked up and asked for everyone's opinion, "Which scene should we choose to enter?"
Duan Xi was the first to raise his hand, "Anyway, I'm not going to the hospital."
That area was under his jurisdiction; all the figures there were static, ghostly images, as if they were in a state of being souls.
The more I look at it, the more creepy it becomes.
He would rather die than go.
Tao Haohao added, "I'm not going to the office."
Reason: It's full of people, and the building is high up. Once the scene is activated, there's nowhere to escape.
"I think we should rule out nighttime scenes and try to choose a world during the daytime."
After studying the situation for a while, Song Liang looked up and said, "I suppose the people from the Salt Lake search team think the same way. This way, there's a high probability we'll run into them."
Yun Zhao agreed with this point.
"It's best to choose a location that's open on all sides, so you can defend and attack, and if things go wrong, you can run away," the rabbit couldn't help but interject.
After this process of elimination, only five out of the fourteen daytime scenarios remained that met the target.
The school, the park, two streets, and a square.
As for the other two chaotic, fragmented worlds, they were directly excluded.
Xie Tu did not respond immediately, but instead looked through the records of the five locations over and over again.
"There are too many people in the square, the south street is out of the question, and schools are often haunted places, so the search team can't choose there."
The street on the south side is the area where everyone wears the exact same smile.
No one would choose such a bizarre setting.
Xie Tu pondered for a moment, "My suggestion is Linhu Park. If no one objects, we can rest for two hours and then go straight in."
They climbed the Qilian Mountains overnight to enter the polluted area.
The sentries were alright, but she was already in poor condition due to lack of oxygen and cold before she came in.
If he hadn't been worried that the Yanchi search team wouldn't be able to hold on, he would have planned to rest for at least eight hours to ensure her rest.
Two hours, which is already the most compressed time.
"Objective: Eliminate the gatekeeper and rescue the salt lake search team!"
"yes!"
The little bluebird proudly raised its head when it saw that its chosen spot had been selected.
It was rare for Xie Tu to seem pleasing to the eye, so he didn't say anything to scold him.
Rest time is tight.
Everyone, quickly eat something to replenish your energy.
The barrier covered the area where supplies were stored, preventing the dark matter from spreading in.
Yun Zhao was worried that he was not feeling well and wanted to take a nap.
After eating a piece of bread, she wrapped herself up tightly in her military overcoat and lay down to sleep in the middle of the field.
A bluish-green fluorescence surrounded her.
During her rest, a mental thread unconsciously spread.
Seeing this, his teammates quickly found a place to close their eyes and rest.
In the past, it was common to go for days and nights without closing your eyes in the polluted area, and everyone was used to taking a nap whenever they could.
At least it's safe here for now.
Xie Tu was not sleepy, so he came over and sat down next to Yun Zhao to watch over her while she rested.
The heavy military overcoat tightly wrapped her petite body, revealing only her thick hair and smooth forehead.
Like a lazy kitten, curled up inside.
The venue became extremely quiet.
Xie Tu watched her quietly for a while, observing her peacefully sleeping wrapped in her military overcoat.
I don't know how much time passed before I came to my senses and awkwardly looked away.
He hasn't had a chance to properly talk to her about the 'combination fever' yet.
He still hasn't figured out how to bring it up.
Does that mean... if the compatibility between the two exceeds 95%, it will trigger a passion for union and lead to physical intimacy?
Will it scare her?
Is there a tactful way to put it that she can understand?
Xie Tu's thoughts had already wandered off course, shifting from considering the task to carefully choosing his words.
Thin black threads coiled around, climbed the barrier, and tried to sneak in and contaminate the sentries inside.
Xie Tu did not move.
The little bluebird nestled on her neck and shoulder also closed its eyes, resting close to its owner.
*
Yun Zhao unconsciously curled up her body.
She hasn't dreamed in a long time.
The scene in the dream was both strange and familiar; it was the still scene filled with chaotic fragments in front of the dark void where they were.
In her dream, the fragments that were originally floating randomly and shimmering with a ghostly light began to move slowly and were reassembling.
They float in the air, moving in a way that seems disordered yet follows some hidden pattern.
The assembled image is somewhat messy.
One moment it's a scene of panic as people scream and flee for their lives, the next it's a pristine white basement, and then it quickly transforms into a hazy, indistinct landscape shrouded in white mist.
There seemed to be a voice inside, calling to her.
Memories flashed through her mind.
Yun Zhao felt a slight ache in his head.
Deep in my memory.
A six- or seven-year-old girl sat dangling high in the air, looking down at the viewer with an arrogant chin, and said, "Useless."
She couldn't see the scene below, or even the little girl's face.
But she instinctively knew that was her.
The same movements and tone as the little bluebird.
The background looks like a children's amusement park, and the place where the little girl is sitting looks like the roller coaster track above the park.
There were sounds of people begging for mercy below, and the noise of many monsters running towards them...
The scene was chaotic, but she couldn't see it from her perspective; she could only hear the sounds.
Yun Zhao felt a heavy weight in his heart, which was very uncomfortable.
In the dark, empty arena, Xie Tu, sitting beside her, quickly sensed that something was wrong.
He reached out and lifted her military overcoat, revealing her slightly pale face as she slept.
She had a furrowed brow, her breathing became rapid and irregular, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Xie Tu's expression changed slightly. Without thinking, he pulled her out of his military coat, placed her on his lap, and gently shook her. "Wake up!"
Yun Zhao regained consciousness amidst the shaking and suddenly opened his eyes.
Xie Tu looked into her eyes and felt a slight tremor in his heart.
The moment she opened her eyes.
His expression turned cold and aloof, and his eyes revealed a scrutinizing emotion.
And a disdainful contempt for everything in the world.
