Chapter 229 Dark Guide
Keep watch?
Is he going to stay here tonight?
Yun Zhao: "..."
It felt strange for the two of them to spend the night alone in the hospital.
Besides a hospital bed, the only place in the ward where people could sleep was a very narrow two-seater sofa.
Xie Tu is tall, and the small sofa is clearly not big enough for him.
Everyone finally got back and can get some rest. Besides, from what I just heard on the phone, he has to go to the operations department to see Minister Duan early tomorrow morning.
As the team leader, he has too many things to worry about and is more tired than any of them.
So Yun Zhao said, "You don't need to stay with me. I feel much better now, and there's nothing seriously wrong."
This isn't a polluted area.
The inner city of the base was heavily guarded. She lived in the hospital, and there were nurses and sentries on night duty outside.
Moreover, he was still wearing that black combat uniform, so he had to go back to shower and change.
Yun Zhao was thinking of him, "Go back and get a good night's rest, and come back tomorrow."
Xie Tu thought she was resisting being alone with him, so he didn't respond at first. He lowered his gaze and peeled the apple in his hand. "Okay, I'll go back after I finish peeling the apple."
That expression...
Doesn't it look a bit like the phoenix being scolded by the little bluebird?
Yun Zhao: "..."
She was clearly thinking of him, but it was as if she had done something wrong.
Yun Zhao's eyes flickered, and she didn't continue the topic. She took out the document and handed it to him, saying in a natural tone, "This is the document that Rong Ping gave me."
Xie Tu was peeling an apple, his long, strong fingers holding the fruit knife steadily, the apple spinning smoothly in his hand.
The fruit peel then fell slowly like a continuous ribbon, the movement skillful and smooth.
Xie Tu gestured for her to put the documents on the table first.
The two tacitly changed the subject.
Xie Tu cut the apple into small pieces and placed them on a clean plate before wiping his hands and getting up. "What do you want to eat tomorrow morning?"
He is very good at hiding his emotions.
Very few people could read anything from his face.
It seemed like only a moment, but he returned to being the calm and composed captain.
Yun Zhao replied, "Something simple is fine."
Xie Tu nodded and stood up to take his leave.
Before leaving, he paused and asked, "Should we notify the people from East Third Street to come over?"
I've heard that sick people are especially vulnerable.
If she feels uncomfortable, he doesn't have to stay here.
But leaving her alone in the hospital with no one to talk to, Xie Tu worried that she would get bored.
Yun Zhao shook his head. "No need. They can't help even if they come. Besides, didn't we agree that we'd only stay for two days?"
Xie Tu had no choice but to tell her to rest well and then got up to leave.
Night had fallen.
The corridor was brightly lit by glaring incandescent lights, and all was silent except for the echo of his footsteps.
In the realm of the spirit.
The fire phoenix sensed the emotions of its true form and stood atop a tall sycamore tree.
If we're so reluctant to leave, why are we still leaving?
Fire Phoenix was somewhat displeased: "Wouldn't it be better to take her home and care for her? Why send her to the hospital...?"
Xie Tu suppressed the turmoil in his thoughts: "Shut up!"

Night deepened.
During this time, the nurse pushed open the door and came in to check on the patients.
Lying on the hospital bed, Yun Zhao calmly stated that she wanted to rest and did not like being disturbed during her rest period.
"Okay, Ms. Yun, please feel free to press the call bell by the bed if you need anything."
Knowing that she was no ordinary person, the nurse quickly left the ward after a routine check.
The main lights inside the room were turned off.
The dim light from the bedside lamp cast dappled shadows.
Yun Zhao sat up and unfolded the piece of paper she had torn off, her expression inscrutable.
Technology had not completely collapsed in that era.
Humans have conducted research and experiments on the guide information collected in those years and have drawn some conclusions.
There is a type of guide who possesses powerful spiritual abilities and can control dark matter.
Compared to ordinary guides, they are less susceptible to the emotions of sentries.
Their mental strength also possesses immense destructive power, and they are adept at concealing their emotional fluctuations, making it difficult for ordinary people to perceive their true thoughts.
Their mental abilities can interfere with and disrupt sentries.
Even control.
Exceptional talent can easily control a sentinel, destroying its mental realm and plunging it into chaos and suffering.
He is a natural animal tamer.
These types of guides are complex and eccentric, with ambiguous stances, and are extremely dangerous.
What humans call...
—The Dark Guide.
Yun Zhao read the above content over and over again, without getting tired of it.
Almost everything you said was right, wasn't it?
If anyone else sees this page, they will almost certainly associate it with her.
Yun Zhao seemed lost in thought.
She gently ran her fingers along the edge of the paper, staring blankly ahead.
A childhood without memories, a fragmented mental realm, and a mental force so powerful it inspires awe.
It's her.
Yet it doesn't seem to be her.
Eliminating contaminated areas is the aspiration of all humankind, and it is what she is currently working on.
Where did her stance become ambiguous?
The harsh lines on the notebook seemed to be reminding her of something.
That name was particularly jarring.
Cloud Decision...
What kind of person is her father?
Yun Zhao wanted to know the answer, but he was at a loss and didn't know how to find it.
Where is the answer?
Is it Zone Six, the contaminated zone?

The next day, it was just getting light.
Xie Tu drove the armored vehicle into the inner city.
A steaming hot breakfast was laid out on the passenger seat.
Fearing the food would get cold by the time she got up, he took an electric cooker and a microwave with him when he went out, along with some of her favorite snacks and milk.
Xie Tu parked the car at the hospital entrance and got out carrying large and small bags of items.
I happened to run into Minister Bai and Bai Yu at the door.
Minister Bai heard that the guide seemed to have some mental problems, so he came over to inquire in person.
Bai Yu, upon hearing that Yun Zhao was hospitalized, rushed over as well.
Upon seeing Xie Tu, the father and daughter asked in unison, "How is Yun Zhao?"
Xie Tu: "I caught a cold and had a fever on the way, but I'm feeling a bit better now. However, my mental strength has been weak the whole time..."
There are some things that cannot be told to outsiders.
He could only gloss over what happened in contaminated zone 249 and describe her condition in as much detail as possible.
Minister Bai listened carefully and assumed it was caused by frequent use of his abilities in the polluted area. He said, "It is indeed easy for a guide's mental energy to exceed its limit, which can only be regulated by himself."
When the base's guides are conducting evacuation operations, they may sometimes form a mental connection with the sentries due to the influence of their compatibility.
If a guide establishes a superficial mental connection with multiple sentinels simultaneously, it can easily lead to mental overload.
In order to recover their mental strength as quickly as possible, the guide will sever some mental connections and recuperate on their own.
This is similar to an operator who is working on multiple machines at the same time. When they find themselves running out of energy, they turn off a few machines that are not needed for the time being.
This is to ensure that one can concentrate on dealing with more important situations.
Xie Tu's eyes flickered, and he nodded expressionlessly.
Last night, after he entered the ward, he seemed not to have sensed the connection that had occurred during their previous spiritual union.
Did she deliberately disconnect the connection?
