Chapter 274 Distortion
The base is as peaceful as a secluded paradise.
The people living inside the base only knew that it was dangerous outside, but they had no idea what had happened outside that winter.
The Dawn Base is located deep in the mountains, and there are no polluted areas within a radius of hundreds of miles.
There are only mutated species that have been attracted to them.
Every day, dozens of patrol teams brave the wind and snow to venture out from the base and hunt down the mutant species in the surrounding area.
There are also a large number of troops stationed on the back mountain, just to protect the base's grain depot.
In places unseen by people, the sentries keep all dangers out, allowing those inside the base to spend the winter in peace.
But those outside weren't so lucky.
Every winter, polluted areas, mutated species, and mutant animals become unusually active, and sentry posts in various places are on high alert.
Attacks occur from time to time.
Each location is guarded by three high-ranking sentry teams, equipped with ample ammunition and heavy weapons with devastating firepower.
Under normal circumstances, mutants cannot break through the fire coverage above the high walls of sentry posts.
The signal monitoring tower, which is about 100 meters high inside, is also a sturdy fortress, integrating multiple functions such as shelter, communication with the outside world, and fire support.
The sentries at Outpost No. 36 have been corrupted and are highly likely to face a large-scale attack by mutants.
Yun Zhao didn't have time to think much. He quickly put on his coat and followed the soldier on duty who delivered the message to the Institute of Biology.

Biological Research Institute.
Several military vehicles braked suddenly and stopped at the entrance.
Several sentries got out of the vehicle and jogged to open the doors. Two metal compartments were quickly lifted out, placed on stretchers, and pushed inside.
Dean Fu arrived with a large group of people.
The metal chamber is completely sealed, with only a small ventilation hole, so the inside of the chamber is not visible.
But a huge impact sound could be heard.
The metal compartment was already somewhat deformed.
The people trapped inside kept ramming against the ground with tremendous force, occasionally letting out roars.
If too much dark matter floods in and the Sentinels become severely contaminated, they will go out of control if the inhibitors are ineffective, becoming dominated by their disordered mental energy and wildness.
Ultimately, it mutated and turned into a monster.
Seeing the situation was getting out of hand, Dean Fu hurriedly said, "Quick! Get him to the isolation room!"
The corridor was filled with the sound of hurried footsteps.
The sentry carried the stretcher and jogged to the isolation room.
Five senior sentries followed behind, looking travel-worn.
They were all covered in dust and dirt, their combat uniforms were torn, and some parts were stained with blood, clearly indicating that they had been in an extremely fierce battle.
The group of people, their faces filled with worry and anxiety, jogged after the stretcher.
The isolation room is located underground.
This place holds many aberrations, and the walls are made of special materials that can withstand powerful impacts.
The metal storage compartment was quickly placed on the central isolation platform.
The surrounding area was filled with various monitoring instruments, and red indicator lights were flashing continuously, showing abnormalities in various data.
The monitoring personnel's expression changed slightly. "The pollution concentration is 68%, and it's distorted!"
The impact grew increasingly violent.
The roars sounded completely unlike any human voice.
Senior sentries stood guard at the entrance, armed with weapons.
His eyes showed both worry and vigilance against danger.
The five people behind him turned pale instantly, their emotions spiraling out of control as they shouted excitedly, "Where's the guide?!"
Once the distortion begins, muscles grow abnormally, bones gradually twist, and eventually, slowly and painfully, the body is covered by dark matter, which devours the entire spiritual realm.
This distortion is irreversible.
By then.
When the spirit experiences death, a person will be completely transformed into a mutant.
A tall sentry, as if his spine had been removed, slowly squatted down, burying his face in his hands, muttering, "Xinjue is going to be a father in a few months... Hang in there..."
"Captain! I'm going to find the guide!!" The team members didn't want to just wait there and watch their teammate turn into a monster.
Yun Zhao appeared at this time.
She bumped into a sentry who was about to leave, but luckily he reacted quickly and braked to avoid him.
Dean Fu turned his head and saw her appear as if he had seen a savior, and hurriedly waved to her.
"Cloud Guide, the situation is urgent, save lives first!"
The longer it is delayed, the more dangerous it becomes.
If the bones mutate, even if the person is saved, they will be ruined.
Yun Zhao nodded slightly upon hearing this. The soldier on duty drove her to the entrance of the School of Biology and pulled her along as they jogged inside.
With her terrible stamina, she was already out of breath after running just this short distance.
Yun Zhao didn't have time to ask about the situation and walked to the two metal bins.
Dean Fu was preparing to evacuate everyone and maintain absolute silence so that the guide could clean up the dark matter.
But then Yun Zhao adjusted his breathing and slightly raised his hand.
Wisps of bluish-green fluorescence flickered and lingered around her before quickly disappearing into the two metal chambers through the breathing holes.
The moment the spiritual thread probed in, it immediately detected chaotic and disordered negative emotions that surged forth in a torrent.
A dark abyss, on the verge of madness.
She could sense the violent, berserk energy emanating from the Sentinel, ruthlessly tearing apart its remaining sanity.
Since Yun Zhao began providing counseling, he has never seen such a chaotic torrent of emotions.
The little bluebird on my shoulder suddenly became a little irritable.
[That smell is awful, it's so awful...]
[Trash, all trash, ugh, I'm filthy.]
The sound of the impact is gradually subsiding.
Everyone watched intently, and no one dared to make a sound that might disturb her treatment.
The sentries around had heard of the power of S-class guides, but had never witnessed it firsthand.
In the past, when encountering this situation, at least two A-level guides were needed to carry out the treatment and cleansing work.
She actually managed to guide two mutated sentinels at the same time.
It was truly eye-opening.
Dean Fu stared intently at the data displayed on the instrument.
As the amount of dark matter within the two sentinels decreases, the level of contamination is slowly declining.
The bluish-green fluorescence around her grew increasingly intense.
A flowing light shield was formed.
They converge into countless fluorescent lights, continuously penetrating the interior.
Yun Zhao could not see what was inside the metal warehouse.
But she could sense that the Sentinel's long-lost consciousness was gradually returning under her guidance.
It's a very strange feeling.
Mental traction seems to be particularly effective in awakening the sentinels' consciousness.

Outside the base.
Upon receiving the message, Xie Tu informed Song Liang.
Upon hearing the devastating news, Song Liang immediately drove to the Institute of Biology, arriving almost at the same time as Xie Tu.
His brother-in-law, Xia Xinjue, was one of the two sentries involved in the incident.
Upon learning that Yun Zhao had already gone inside, Song Liang's anxiety subsided slightly.
With Yun Zhao around, there's a good chance they can be saved.
It depends on the degree of distortion.
In Song Liang's view, as long as he could be saved, even if he became disabled, it would be better than being separated from his loved ones forever.
His little niece hasn't been born yet, so she can't be without a father.
There is hope as long as you are alive.
The two entered the research institute together.
After passing through a series of access control gates, we entered the underground passage and headed straight for the isolation room.
