Chapter 304 Establishing a Survival Base
Yun Zhao leaned against the observation window on one side, not joining the discussion.
Not far away.
In the open-air Ocean Park plaza, the sun logo stands prominently, seemingly suspended in mid-air, as if held up by an invisible hand.
The first rays of sunlight shine upon the sun.
First light?
Yun Zhao always felt that the frequent appearance of the sun pattern was no accident, and that the meaning hidden behind the pattern... was the gatekeeper trying to convey some message to them?
What exactly is it trying to express?
Xie Tu was loading ammunition into the automatic firing device when he turned around and saw her leaning against the observation window, her gaze wandering outside.
Sometimes when she's thinking about something, she'll have this blank expression.
Xie Tu kicked the ammunition box into a corner, bent over, and sat down. "It'll be fine." He thought she was worried about the little bluebird.
S-rank spiritual entity – Azure Phoenix.
Within the contaminated zone, it is invisible to ordinary creatures and untouchable by zombies. Its spiritual threads possess the ability to devour dark matter, and even the gatekeeper would not dare to approach it.
The little bluebird certainly has the right to look down on everyone else.
Yun Zhao nodded gently upon hearing this, "I know."
Knowing it was one thing, but she still couldn't help being a little worried since it was the little one's first time acting alone.
I'm worried it might do something reckless...

Rizhao University Town is located in the northeast of the city.
The straight-line distance to the landing point is less than two kilometers.
Along this less than two-kilometer stretch, swarms of zombies roamed, abandoned cars lay scattered along the roadside, and dried bloodstains covered the ground and walls.
The little bluebird didn't bother to investigate the situation along the way and flew directly to the motorcycle club.
The club is on the second floor, and the large sun logo on the decorative wall at the front desk is very eye-catching.
The little bluebird flew inside and stood disdainfully on the registration book at the front desk.
Several cool motorcycles were displayed in the spacious hall.
In the sofa rest area, cushions were scattered haphazardly, some lying on the floor, smudged and dirty from past footprints.
Several unfinished cans of beverages remained on the coffee table. The drinks had long since dried up, leaving brown rings on the bottom of the cans, presumably because people were rushing to evacuate when the disaster struck and didn't have time to collect them.
There was no one inside, and no zombies either.
The little bluebird darted around aimlessly.
The door leading to the inner workshop was half-open, and various wrenches and screwdrivers were scattered haphazardly on the tool table, with several puddles of dried machine oil on the floor.
There was another room inside, filled with brand-new armor suits and all sorts of motorcycle helmets.
The little bluebird wandered around for a while, then flew back to the front desk, looking bored, and perched there with its long tail feathers slightly upturned, as if it didn't want to get its feathers dirty.
Nothing malicious, absolutely nothing.
Knowing the little one was impatient, Yun Zhao comforted him, saying, "Look carefully again and see if you can find any clues."
The little bluebird flapped its wings twice and tilted its head to look around.
Right above it, next to the sun logo on the decorative wall, is a prominent slogan.
It looked down at the register it was standing on.
The text above seems familiar.
Ah, I don't recognize you...
Yun Zhao: "..." The spirit beings are completely illiterate, and there's no way to teach them.
Yun Zhao had no choice: 【Really no clues? Why don't you check if there are any survivors nearby?】
There was no sound from that end.
However, through the mental connection, Yun Zhao could sense the general location of the little bluebird, which seemed to be flying towards the university town.
The little guy was quite reluctant at first when he went out on his own, but once he was actually outside, he felt a sense of novelty and discovered that he could do whatever he wanted, so he stopped making a fuss.
Yun Zhao felt relieved.
She thought again, what trouble could she possibly cause in the contaminated area? Even if the little bluebird blew up the contaminated area, it wouldn't matter.
Unlike the White Beast, it won't forget its mission while playing.

Around five o'clock, the spirits that had been wandering around the area gradually returned.
"Captain, there are zombies everywhere, there's nowhere safe."
Tao Haohao's brown bear was the first to return. Its huge body carried a king chameleon, roared twice, and even wanted to go into the aquarium to see the fish.
"There are many hotels around, but none of them have main entrances, and there are zombies both inside and outside the doors," Rabbit added.
Finally, there was the lion from Song Liang's family.
Song Liang: "It's the same over there. It's not far from the beach here. Some of the zombies are retreating. I estimate that by tomorrow at the latest, the main force will have retreated to the vicinity of Ocean Park."
The contaminated zone No. 111 has existed for a long time.
Over the years, countless mutants have come and gone. Based on what we have seen so far, it is roughly estimated that there are at least several million zombies.
Apart from the secluded Peach Blossom Island, zombies roam everywhere.
Team Zero wants to find a defensive foothold in the city.
It's very difficult.
Xie Tu remained calm. He pulled a map from the box and said in a measured tone, "If there are no conditions, then we'll create them ourselves."
Fire Phoenix went to the military base and conveyed the message to him, confirming that the armory was still there and that a small number of survivors had been found there.
Now that they had confirmed they had enough ammunition, Team Zero no longer needed to be hesitant.
Xie Tu spread out the map and pointed to one of the locations, "Above Ocean Park, there is a tourist attraction called Dongyi Town. The town is divided into Island A and Island B. Island B is surrounded by water on all sides and there are only eight roads leading to the island. Once you enter, you can blow up all the roads and take Island B as your stronghold."
As a tourist town, the island is also teeming with zombies.
With the armory in place, Zero Team can go all out, storm the island, clear out the entire town, and establish it as their base.
Yun Zhao's gaze froze for a moment. He looked up at him and found that he was turning his head to look at him quietly.
The two exchanged a knowing glance, then quickly looked away and focused their attention on the map.
A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the team members.
"Haha, Captain, that's a brilliant idea! I've been wanting to have a good fight with these zombies for ages. Let's take over Island B and show those zombies what we're made of!"
"That suits me perfectly! Let's storm the island and establish a safe base right in the city!"
"Establish a safe base? This time, instead of being terrorists, we're doing infrastructure work in a contaminated area?"
The members of Team Zero were eager to fight, their eyes gleaming with a fervent desire for battle.
They prefer to be more direct rather than looking for a gatekeeper.
Once we've wiped out all the zombies in the city and found all the survivors, I'm sure the gatekeeper won't come out.
Yun Zhao was used to her teammates' reckless behavior, and she really didn't expect Xie Tu to make a decision so quickly.
The existence of the armory indicates that the gatekeeper wants to end the apocalypse, and its inner obsession should be related to the coming of the end times.
However, there is one point that everyone should pay attention to.
"Night is approaching, could things change?"
The nights in the contaminated area are eerie.
Sometimes it's normal, sometimes it's fraught with danger.
It is still uncertain what the nighttime situation will be like in contaminated zone 111.
Xie Tu nodded, "So let's make preparations first. Let's determine the route today and then take action after tonight."
