Chapter 295 Three Teams
Qi Ling couldn't help but straighten up and look at the scenery along the way through the barrier.
He went to the Dawn Base with Team Zero at night.
The contaminated zone on the 28th wasn't far away, so he never really got to see the outside world properly.
In the distance, the former city ruins appeared even more desolate in the gloom of early spring. High-rise buildings collapsed, and steel bars were exposed like hideous white bones, covered with rust, mottled scars left by time and corrosion.
“That’s Chongqing. I’ve been here before…” Qi Ling murmured.
The rabbit, engrossed in its killing spree, casually remarked, "You've been here before? Doesn't it look completely different now?"
They are worlds apart.
Back then, there were people everywhere, the city was brightly lit at night, and boats came and went on the river.
When the lights of Hongyadong are turned on, the layered pavilions are instantly outlined in a dreamlike shape by the dazzling golden light, and the warm red halo is reflected in the river, sparkling like a flowing galaxy.
The riverbank was bustling with activity, filled with the laughter and chatter of tourists. The enticing aromas of various delicious snacks permeated the entire riverside...
Qi Ling's gaze remained fixed on the ruins, but he could no longer utter a word.
The general direction from Dawn Base to the eastern coastal cities is north.
The car sped along.
The devastation along the way assaulted Qi Ling's vision.
He seems to be starting to truly understand the world.
The stability of the large base is the result of the hard-won efforts of the people inside for two hundred years.
Those people are like the major general and his men.
They fought desperately to defend the sanctuary against the monsters, leading their soldiers in a valiant defense...
Qi Ling then thought of Major General Qin, that burly military officer with a thunderous laugh.
He suddenly became a little down.
Ultimately, only Chongqing remained as the sole 'Ark' in the southwest region, holding out until the wasteland era.
But soon, Qi Ling had no time to be down.
Lunchtime.
The people inside the car started taking out food.
Xie Tu tossed him two cans of cooked meat through the sunroof and said calmly, "Each can is worth 100 points. You now owe me a total of 19,860."
Qi Ling: "..."

Along the way.
A distinct gray fog permeated the sky.
Those are all contaminated areas that have spread and are now shrinking back.
The armored off-road vehicles, accompanied by reinforcements, bypassed the danger zone and arrived at the eastern coastal area eight days later.
They're quite far apart.
They then saw a temporary encampment ahead.
The vigilant sentries around them, each dressed in a sharp black combat uniform, raised their hands from a distance as a greeting when they saw them approaching.
"It's the logo of the Dawn Base."
Xie Tu, sitting in the passenger seat, had a clearer view. "It seems the Fu Meng team has already gone in."
Yun Zhao nodded. "No wonder."
No wonder Fu Yu hadn't replied to her messages.
Dawn Base is close by; if things go smoothly, we can arrive on the same day. I guess she'll be busy preparing for the mission by then.
Yun Zhao asked instinctively, "What about Jiang Mu and the others?"
They left three days early, saying they had other things to do, but what could they possibly have to do?
Even the equipment and supplies were purchased from the Dawn Base. It's impossible to go back to the Dawn Base first and then rush to Contaminated Zone 110.
They are on different roads.
Could it be... that they've already gone in ahead of time?
The other two teams were both operating in the three-star contaminated zone. It's estimated that by the time Jiang Mu and Fu Heng come out, Team Zero will still be in contaminated zone 111.
Why are they all going in early?
Yun Zhao suddenly had a bad feeling.
Xie Tu remained calm and composed. "If you don't know about them, you can ask them when you get off the bus."
"Okay." Yun Zhao didn't think anything was wrong, packed his things, and prepared to get off the bus.
To guard against a sudden spread of contaminated areas, temporary camps are usually set up at a distance.
The reinforcements stopped here, presumably to be adjacent to the Dawn Base camp, so they could support each other, which would be good for them.
After getting out of the car, Yun Zhao and Rabbit found an empty tent and changed into their combat uniforms.
As soon as she put on the clothes, she realized something was wrong.
The combat uniform, which was originally somewhat loose, now clung tightly to her body, outlining every curve of her figure.
Yun Zhao was taken aback.
It seems like I've gained weight again this winter?
Xie Tu's cooking is really delicious.
During training, he prepared different kinds of food every day.
Yun Zhao also ate with a group of sentinels with huge appetites every day. Seeing them fighting over food inevitably whetted his appetite, and he would unconsciously eat more.
But she clearly hasn't slacked off on training lately.
Logically, with such a high level of activity, he shouldn't have gained this much weight...
Rabbit glanced at Yun Zhao and noticed her too, then said with a grin, "I knew you were too thin before, Yun Zhao. You look just right now." Her tone was excited, as if the captain had finally fattened her up.
Yun Zhao: "..."
I suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
If she keeps eating like this, will she not be able to wear her combat uniform next time?
Outside.
Tao Haohao and others were helping to set up the campsite, while Qi Ling obediently stayed on the roof of the vehicle and refused to come down.
Xie Tu walked over and spoke with the adjutant accompanying him from the Dawn Base.
I learned that Fuqi's team had been inside for six days.
Xie Tu frowned slightly. Six days was neither a short nor a long time for an expedition into the unknown. He estimated that they would be out in another day or two.
"Have you contacted the Dawn Base?" Xie Tu's voice was steady.
The adjutant nodded. "They arrived three days ago and are stationed about 60 kilometers away. Jiang Mu's team went in that same day."
Something about this mission just doesn't feel right.
Although there is a risk of contamination here, it has been within the normal range of monitoring, and the hidden danger can be eliminated by eliminating just one of the contaminated areas.
The map is so big, with hundreds of contaminated zones, yet the three S-class teams are so close together.
Xie Tu didn't ask any more questions after hearing this.
Suddenly I understood what those two were up to.
No sentry is not curious about the five-star contaminated zone.
Fu Yu is fiercely competitive and eager to take advantage of the five-star contaminated zone.
At that time, as long as Team Zero does not come out of Zone 111 in time, she can use the pretense of being "nearby" to rush in and try the joint mission.
After all, judging contaminated areas based on observational data is highly prone to error.
Who knows, we might just stumble upon a five-star contamination zone.
And Jiang Mu...
Xie Tu didn't want to talk about him.
He was too lazy to run, and planned to stay and provide mental support to the White Beast after leaving the contaminated area.
He went in early because he was afraid that Team Zero would leave the contaminated area before him and return to base without waiting for him.
Xie Tu exchanged a few more pleasantries with his adjutant, then turned back and happened to run into Yun Zhao, who had changed her clothes and was carrying her small handbag and rabbit as she came out of the tent.
Xie Tu said softly, "I'll go get some food. We'll rest here tonight and go in tomorrow morning."
They're bringing up the very thing they shouldn't have said.
Yun Zhao originally wanted to say he wouldn't eat anymore, but after hesitating for a long time, he couldn't bear to part with all the delicious food.
“Okay, you cook less, and I’ll eat less,” Yun Zhao said.
Xie Tu: "?"
