Chapter 198 Let's be turtles
When Yun Zhao woke up again, he found himself in a dark bedroom.
She lay on the clean bed, covered with a blanket.
In the polluted area, it's impossible to distinguish between night and day.
The time on the communicator has been calibrated and synchronized with the time in the contaminated area.
Yun Zhao raised his wrist to check; it showed 8:30 a.m.
She turned over, covered her head with the blanket, and continued to pretend to be asleep.
After regaining consciousness, all the memories and images from last night flooded back.
It seems she did something incredible.
Why does mental connection trigger bonding fever?
The training courses at the base didn't cover this topic at all.
Yun Zhao wanted to be a turtle, to shrink into its shell, so she wouldn't have to get up and face it.
She finally understood why Xie Tu had rejected her before.
That's a very strong physiological reaction.
She felt as if her body was melting, becoming extremely sensitive, with even the slightest touch or caress bringing intense tactile sensations.
Yun Zhao was no longer fully conscious at that time.
Driven by an intense physical urge, she knew only how to take, dragging men down with her into depravity.
A feeling of pleasure filled her mind.
What happened next?
Oh, after completing the spiritual union at the bottom of the lake, she released the spiritual pull and began to undress the man.
The two were like a fireball, with not even a shred of cover in the end.
But when it came to the final step...
Xie Tu forced himself to wake up with his strong willpower. He took out an inhibitor and injected himself with it.
Almost...
Yun Zhao hid under the covers, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and a faint blush appeared on her slender, fair nape.
I'd rather be a tortoise.
What to do after getting up?
She moved around on the bed like a caterpillar.
Hearing her tossing and turning, the rabbit couldn't help but ask tentatively in a low voice, "Sister Yunzhao, are you awake?"
She wasn't the only one in the room.
It's obvious that Xie Tu wouldn't leave her alone.
Yun Zhao mumbled a reply from under the covers: "Mmm."
Rabbit slowly breathed a sigh of relief, turned on her flashlight, and took out the milk and bread that the captain had given her. "The captain and the others are having a meeting outside. Sister Yunzhao, please have something to eat first."
Liu Hong was also in the room.
They waited for a long time last night, but Captain Xie and Guide Yun did not come.
Captain Jiang then led them to find it.
The group found an uninhabited guesthouse in District 7.
Just in case, after going inside to check, they destroyed all the electrical circuits and meters and temporarily settled here.
The sentries all need rest.
Because the guide couldn't be left alone, the three girls shared a room.
The guesthouse has triple rooms with three beds.
But this is a dangerous contaminated area.
Liu Hong couldn't sleep soundly at all and woke up very early.
Knowing that the rabbit in the next bed had keen senses, she dared not move and waited until the rabbit woke up in the morning before getting up herself.
The rabbit got up and didn't go anywhere; it just sat by the bed with its sniper rifle, keeping watch.
Liu Hong naturally stayed in the room as well.
Yun Zhao's heart skipped a beat when she heard his name, but she was indeed hungry. She sat up in bed and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"Not yet, we're afraid of waking you." Rabbit held the flashlight up next to the bedside table. Seeing that her complexion seemed much better, she finally felt relieved.
The rabbit, being simple-minded, assumed it was because she had rested well.
After all, Yun Zhao had slept for a long time.
Yun Zhao nodded upon hearing this and said, "Then let's eat together. I have plenty of food in my bag."
Her backpack was at the foot of the bed, and the rabbit helped her get it, dumping a bunch of food on the bed.
Yun Zhao gestured for Liu Hong to choose, "Take whatever you want to eat."
Liu Hong was flattered and thanked him. She picked up a bag of food she had never seen before and then moved the table from the room over.
She has a rather unconventional personality.
After entering the contaminated area, fearing he wouldn't be able to lead the sentries from Dongcha Town out, he was on edge the whole time, like a completely different person from when he met them at the sentry post.
The three girls stayed in the room to have breakfast.
...
The lobby is on the first floor.
The other sentries were having a meeting.
This guesthouse has a front yard with a low wall, and the lobby has floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides. To keep an eye on what's happening outside, one side of the curtains is half-open.
Jiang Mu leaned back lazily on the sofa and recounted what he had seen and heard the previous night.
"After we parted ways yesterday, we went to District 15 and stayed there until midnight..."
District 15 is where Team Zero used to stay.
This base is huge; we haven't even fully figured out the terrain after half a day here.
At the time, it was uncertain whether the mutants would pursue them.
The rest of Team Zero led the way, and everyone headed to the neighborhood where Team Zero had previously stayed.
After confirming there is no danger.
Duan Xi immediately obeyed Jiang's orders and released the peregrine falcon to search for the person.
“We stayed there until night. Just as it turned midnight, the entire base seemed to come alive. The streetlights came on, the bloodstains and debris on the streets disappeared, and many sentries who looked like normal humans appeared everywhere.”
Jiang Mu: "Song Liang discovered that the icon of the digital life world on the computer had disappeared. After that, I sent Chengzi and Tao Haohao outside to investigate."
Jiang Mu scoffed lightly, "Guess what we found out?"
Xie Tu sat calmly opposite him, not wanting to play games with him, and didn't respond at all.
The two had obvious marks on their bodies, so to avoid being discovered by Jiang Mu and the others, he waited until dawn when the marks faded before carrying Yun Zhao out of the noise-reduction room and rushing to the guesthouse to meet up with everyone.
The noise-reducing room isolates it from all outside noise.
Xie Tu was naturally unaware of what had happened outside last night.
Seeing his indifferent expression, Jiang Mu found it boring and said, "Those Sentinels should be the Sentinel mutants that chased you yesterday. Between midnight and 6 a.m., they regained their self-awareness."
The contaminated area suddenly came to life at night.
All those who had gone mad seemed to have become normal again. The atmosphere in every household was oppressive, with doors and windows tightly shut and people staying indoors.
"Orange also learned that during this period, an opposition group has emerged and is causing large-scale disturbances at the base, demanding that the Digital Life Project be stopped."
Logically speaking, senior sentries are incredibly powerful, so there's no need for them to patrol the streets.
Perhaps it was because of the disturbances that the base required A-level sentries to patrol the streets.
“We didn’t see any troublemakers, but we did find out that the team that developed the Digital Life Project has a laboratory in Zone 1.”
Jiang Mu continued, "That's probably the central area where the entire system operates."
The base is square in shape.
District 1 is located in the central urban area and is surrounded by gray city walls, making it very heavily guarded.
When Jiang Mu's team entered, they were in District 5. They discovered the area while scouting the terrain.
The primary task was to find people; aside from the spirit body circling the perimeter, it did not go inside to check the situation.
Zhou Tianqi spoke up: "If we want to destroy the digital life world, we have to go inside, right?"
Zhou Tianqi stood behind his captain. The bandage on his shoulder had been changed. Yesterday, he had been purified of the dark matter in his body by Yun Zhao in the parking lot.
Senior sentries are physically strong and recover quickly from external injuries.
He is in good condition now.
If you weren't careful about the bandages, you could hardly tell that he was injured.
"The key question is how to get in?" Tao Haohao went out with Chengzi last night and knew the situation quite well.
The central area was guarded by countless sentries at midnight, and the walls were topped with electric fences and heavy weapons.
During the day, although the area around the wall appears deserted, there are definitely countless A-level Sentinel Mutants crouching around it.
Those monsters reside in another dimension and cannot be detected in advance.
Getting in isn't easy.
