Chapter 234 Report
After finishing his phone call, Yun Zhao listlessly climbed into bed for a nap.
The indoor temperature is maintained at 25°C, which is just right.
10 a.m.
The snow outside seemed to have lessened. Through the half-drawn curtains, one could vaguely see the silver-clad world outside the window, with a few snowflakes occasionally drifting down gently.
Thoughts drifted freely in my mind like a kite with a broken string.
She was in a period of mental exhaustion, having just recovered from a cold, and was also overthinking things, so she barely slept yesterday.
Yun Zhao closed his eyes and sensed the situation in the spiritual realm.
The white mist dissipated a little more.
A glimpse of a forest can be seen on the east side of the amusement park.
The trees are tall and lush, their branches and leaves intertwined, and sunlight filters through the layers of leaves, creating patches of light.
The little bluebird was perched quietly on the branch of a towering tree.
Its body was slightly curled up, and a few wisps of tail feathers hung down, swaying gently in the breeze.
The feathers had a faint bluish sheen, and under the dappled sunlight, they shimmered with a crystal-clear light.
The little bluebird sensed the presence of its host and gently trembled its feathers, revealing that it was not asleep but rather conserving its energy.
Yun Zhao was relieved to see that it was alright.
Now that she's back, she should get some rest.
Let's put aside those uncertain, unknown, and unanswerable worries for now.
First, get through the period of mental exhaustion safely.
Given enough strength, she will eventually figure everything out.
After Yun Zhao figured things out, he gradually relaxed and closed his eyes, trying to fall asleep.
Just as I was about to fall asleep.
But then she suddenly remembered something.
Bai Yu said she would have someone bring her lunch later, but Xie Tu seemed unaware of this.
She should have told him, so he wouldn't have to go out to buy groceries and then make a special trip to deliver her food.
He just got back; he must be very busy.
Yun Zhao thought for a moment, then turned over and snuggled into the blankets to send him a message.
Bai Yu said she made me some soup, so I don't need to bring her lunch.
She thought for a moment, then sent another message: "I'm doing fine here, don't worry about me."
After doing all this, Yun Zhao finally felt at ease enough to go to sleep.

Operations Department Building.
In the conference room, Minister Duan sat at the head of the table, flanked by the heads of the intelligence and calculation groups.
opposite.
Besides Xie Tu, Song Liang also participated in this small meeting within the Operations Department of Team Zero.
The task we completed this time was very complex.
At the same time, we encountered a contaminated area that was both merged with a five-star level contaminated area, and the two contaminated areas were quite different from what was previously estimated.
The intelligence and calculation teams needed detailed information, and before a written report was submitted, Minister Duan chaired the meeting.
Song Liang sat next to his captain, giving a mission report with his head down.
They deliberately concealed Yun Zhao's situation within the No. 249 contaminated zone.
Xie Tu remained calm throughout, only occasionally speaking up to correct some details.
The two team leaders turned on their computers, listened intently with serious expressions, and typed rapidly on their keyboards...
It was two hours later when the meeting ended.
Song Liang followed the two team leaders to the operations command center to assist them in organizing information and data charts.
Xie Tu and Minister Duan went to the office.
"What's going on with the Twin Towers?" Xie Tu asked as soon as he entered.
Minister Duan flipped through the documents and replied with his head down: "The base's population is still rising, and housing is already saturated. The base plans to redevelop the inner city and build two towers there to relocate the sentries and guides."
The Sentinel's five senses are too powerful.
There are strict requirements for housing. According to statistics, each sentry occupies more than ten times the living space of an ordinary resident.
The sentries' quarters alone occupy almost 70% of the inner city area.
This is undoubtedly a huge burden for a base where land resources are already scarce.
The Dawn Base is located deep in the mountains, in a rugged terrain that makes expansion difficult.
Furthermore, the area behind it is agricultural land, and there are many industrial parks on both sides, making it impossible to expand outwards.
To save space, the only option was to target the sentries' quarters.
"The two towers will be tentatively named the White Tower and the Black Tower."
Minister Duan said, "The project is massive in scale and involves overcoming many construction technologies, so it is still under discussion."
Xie Tu understood; no wonder Minister Bai disagreed.
Once the Sentinels and Guides move into the Tower, they will inevitably have to be managed separately, which means weakening the authority of the Special Abilities Department.
Minister Duan didn't talk much about this matter, after all, it's still far from certain.
She put the documents into the safe, then took out a set of blueprints and handed them to Xie Tu. "You can take a look at the new weapons and armored off-road vehicle modification plans. Feel free to ask any questions you may have."
After all, the thing was made for Team Zero to use.
Xie Tu took the blueprints and began to study them carefully.
"In addition, each of you must submit your year-end report before the end of the year. This year's annual meeting is very important, with all thirteen combat teams of the Operations Department participating. It's a good opportunity for Yun Zhao to get out and about and meet more people."
The guide was somewhat introverted and didn't like interacting with other people.
Aside from shopping and the day of departure for a mission, she never ventured into the inner city.
To help her adapt to life here as quickly as possible and develop a sense of belonging, the base hardly interfered in anything she did, including her contact with the other two S-class Sentinels.
Xie Tu's eyes flickered when the minister mentioned Yun Zhao. "She doesn't like these things."
Minister Duan glared at him. "She'll have to show her face sooner or later. This annual meeting is a great opportunity to let her meet more people, which will be good for her growth."
Minister Duan was not wrong.
In both missions, the guide once again played a crucial role.
As an S-class guide, she is destined to be ahead of many others and play an important role in the process of rebuilding human civilization.
You can't always stay in your comfort zone.
Xie Tu was well aware of this, but he did not want her to be too sharp and take on too much responsibility and pressure.
That would be unfair to her.
Not to mention... she also has secrets.
"We'll see. I'll take the documents back and review them."
Xie Tu glanced at the time; it was time to go buy groceries.
He also needs to go to the Agricultural Research Institute to get some strawberry seeds to plant in the yard. If he gets it done soon, he might be able to eat fresh strawberries next summer.
Just as Xie Tu was about to leave, his communicator received two messages from Yun Zhao.
Bai Yu said she made me some soup, so I don't need to bring her lunch.
I'm doing fine here, don't worry about me.
Xie Tu paused for a moment, then sat back down and sent her a message.
【good. 】
Minister Duan observed everything with an inscrutable expression, then suddenly mentioned, "The research institute hopes that the two of you can cooperate in conducting a test."
"Those researchers applied for months, to the point that Dean Jiang didn't even dare to go back to his office..."
Minister Duan paused, then said earnestly, "Just consider it as rescuing Dean Jiang. Cooperate with the test once, and it's fine to wait until Yun Zhao's mental strength is better before going."
Those who do research are just too persistent.
From the moment Yun Zhao arrived at the Dawn Base, he relentlessly pursued getting tested, submitting dozens of application reports.
Dean Jiang would come to her to complain almost every few days.
Minister Duan always brushed him off.
I heard that Team Zero has returned, and that it started again yesterday.
Minister Duan was afraid that if they didn't agree, they would probably go to the guide's residence and block him.
Xie Tu nodded: "I'll ask her first."
