Chapter 192 No Lights Allowed
Upon receiving orders to leave, everyone began packing their belongings.
There's really nothing to tidy up.
Both the Zero Team and Jiang Mu's squad carried their backpacks on their backs, and no one took them off even when they sat down to rest.
Of the nine sentries, only Liu Hong found a backpack with some supplies; the others were either empty-handed or holding guns with few bullets.
But Jiang Mu insisted that they couldn't fire.
Firing a gun will only attract more monsters.
Both combat teams had put away their guns and taken out their respective melee weapons.
Yun Zhao's gaze involuntarily drifted to his waist, where a small gun was tucked, which he had never used since he put it on.
On the other side, she imitated Xie Tu and inserted the knife into the strap on the side of her backpack.
Yun Zhao took out his flashlight and, together with his teammates, went to the door first.
The knocking suddenly stopped.
Those outside seemed to hear their footsteps approaching.
Tao Haohao and Duan Xi glanced back, placed their hands on the doorknob, and opened the door.
The two remained vigilant, shining their flashlights directly outwards.
Just as Liu Hong and the others had said, two women were indeed standing in the dark stairwell outside the door.
The one with short, dashing hair is the older sister, named Tian Ling, while the one with long, gentle hair is the younger sister, named Tian Shuang.
They showed no reaction to the beam of light from the flashlight, their pale faces displaying vivid expressions as they stared in astonishment at the large crowd in the room.
"Where are you going?" Tian Ling, the older sister, asked warily, staring at the weapons in everyone's hands.
There were many people in the room, but everyone was very quiet.
The entryway is very small, only big enough for four or five adults.
The rest of the people remained in the living room.
Team Zero has never had contact with the sisters and is unsure of what kind of beings they belong to.
Duan Xi and Tao Haohao, who were standing by the door, turned around and looked at their captain, waiting for further instructions.
There was no response, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
The wariness in her sister's eyes gradually intensified.
"Let's go for a walk."
Yun Zhao's voice came from inside the house. Her body was completely hidden by the sentries, so the two sisters could only hear her voice.
Then Yun Zhao asked again, "Want to come together?"
Tian Ling: "..."
"If you're not going together, please make way." Yun Zhao said calmly.
Since joining Team Zero, she has been taught in her training and missions not to have physical contact with contaminants.
Back in the No. 28 contaminated zone, Major General Qin tried to shake hands, but Xie Tu casually dodged him.
There's only so much space outside the door.
If the two sisters don't let them through, the people inside the house won't be able to get out.
Unless you use force.
Xie Tu looked at his phone. It was 5:35, 25 minutes before the body collectors would arrive.
Fortunately, after hearing Yun Zhao's words, the two sisters took a few steps back, making room for the doorway.
The peregrine falcon darted out from under their feet, shaking its head as it walked into the darkness, helping to scout out the terrain.
Tao Haohao and Duan Xi stepped into the stairwell, carrying knives in their hands, their eyes scanning both sides of the corridor.
There were no lights inside the building, and the air was filled with a quiet and slightly old-fashioned atmosphere.
Parts of the wall plaster at both ends have peeled off, revealing cement blocks. The white wall is covered with grime and has many dried brown marks that look like bloodstains.
At the far end, around the corner, the emergency exit sign glowed green.
Because of Yun Zhao's spiritual energy, the members of Team Zero felt a sense of familiarity looking at the corridor glowing with green light.
Xie Tu and Yun Zhao followed the two people in front of them out the door.
Tian Shuang, the younger sister, saw Yun Zhao walking out.
She was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting that among a group of muscular people, there was also a patient.
Yun Zhao's mental state had been poor; his face was slightly pale, and he appeared listless. His slender figure stood out conspicuously among a group of tall sentries.
Tian Shuang subconsciously mistook her for a patient, smiled at her, and asked softly, "Where are you planning to go for a walk?"
Judging from their tone, they seemed certain that they weren't just taking a walk, but were plotting something big.
Yun Zhao replied listlessly, "Underground parking lot."
Tian Shuang: "..."
The people behind him came out of the house one by one.
Zhou Tianqi was sandwiched between his teammates with a sour face; his baby face looked extremely depressed.
Does being the first to stumble each time mean he's the weakest in the team?
After he was injured, no one showed any concern.
The captain casually said he would give him an extra two weeks of training when he got back.
The teammates joked and laughed.
Zhou Tianqi was extremely frustrated. He caught a glimpse of the blood-soaked gauze on his arm out of the corner of his eye and didn't even want to say a word.
A group of people filed out of the house, all silent, listening quietly as the guide spoke with the two indigenous people.
Xie Tu dutifully acted as her bodyguard, steadily illuminating the path beneath her feet with the light in his hand.
Tian Ling and Tian Shuang clearly did not believe their claim that they had gone for a walk.
Tian Ling was an impatient person and realized that this group of people were deliberately hiding something from them. "There's nothing in the parking lot, and the gate has been welded shut for a long time. What are you doing there?"
Duan Xi and Tao Haohao have found the stairwell.
Yun Zhao followed the beam of the flashlight and walked in that direction, saying, "Want to go for a walk?"
The atmosphere of their conversation was strange.
The two sisters seemed like normal people, anxiously asking what was wrong.
Yun Zhao, with his repetitive, mechanical replies, seemed like a dangerous individual trying to seduce young girls.
The three people all had equally pale faces.
If someone is unfamiliar with the product, they probably wouldn't be able to distinguish which product is contaminant.
Liu Hong looked ahead with a complicated expression.
Her spiritual body has returned to the spiritual realm.
Liu Hong was a little confused as to why, among a group of high-ranking sentinels, it was the gentle Xiang Dao who would go out and deal with the indigenous people.
But they must have their reasons for doing so.
The sentries at the main base knew more about the situation inside the contaminated zone than they did.
Just stay silent, follow the crowd, and don't cause trouble.
The group passed by the elevator, which was still operating normally.
The second floor was not difficult to climb, so instead of looking at the elevator, everyone entered the stairwell one by one and went downstairs.
Seeing that the person had already gone far away, the two sisters stamped their feet and took steps to follow.
Jiang Mu strolled at the back, his relaxed demeanor making him look like he was just going out for a walk.
In just a few minutes.
The group had arrived at the basement level, and the iron gate at the entrance was locked.
Duan Xi quickly pried open the lock and pushed open the long-sealed, dusty door.
The parking lot was dark, with only the faint beams of their flashlights drawing bright lines in the darkness.
Footsteps echoed in the empty parking lot, each step amplified countless times, like a dull drumbeat striking the hearts of everyone present.
All around were rows of silent vehicles, like silent behemoths lurking in the darkness.
The beam of the flashlight occasionally swept across the forgotten vehicles, their bodies covered in a thick layer of dust, indicating how long they had been abandoned.
Doing normal things in a contaminated area is considered abnormal.
Yun Zhao subconsciously wanted to release her spiritual energy. She had just slightly raised her hand when she saw Xie Tu beside her and remembered that he did not allow her to use her abilities at will, so she slowly withdrew her hand.
Yun Zhao pursed her lips and looked back; sure enough, the two sisters had followed.
She mustered her courage and asked casually, "Can the lights be turned on in the parking lot?"
Tian Ling and Tian Shuang's expressions changed drastically. "Don't turn on the lights!"
