Chapter 31 Uncle...
The first rays of dawn pierced the darkness, and a red sun slowly rose from the distant horizon.
Team Zero is ready to assemble.
Yun Zhao changed into the combat uniform from the Dawn Base.
The black combat suit clung to her slender body, yet still appeared somewhat loose, further emphasizing her thinness.
The combat uniform belt cinched her waist, highlighting her slender figure.
Even in combat uniforms, the difference between a sentry and a guide can still be easily distinguished.
Rabbit slept in the same tent as Yun Zhao last night. After looking him up and down, Rabbit sighed, "I got the smallest size combat uniform, but it still doesn't seem to fit quite right. I should ask the logistics department to make one tailor-made when I get back."
Alternatively, they could try fattening up the guide.
Anyway, the captain has money!
"I think it fits me well." She feels uncomfortable if it's too tight; a looser fit is better.
The red-crowned crane emblem on the shoulder is particularly eye-catching.
Yun Zhao tilted his head slightly and reached out to touch the red-crowned crane's head, which caused the little bluebird to express its dissatisfaction in the spiritual realm.
"Alright, let's go out."
Rabbit picked up his ever-present sniper rifle and beckoned Yun Zhao to come out of the tent and assemble.
The perimeter of the temporary camp.
Several armored vehicles were parked there.
Xie Tu was already standing by the car, his posture as upright as a pine tree. As usual, he checked on all the team members and did a final inspection.
I saw them coming.
He glanced at Yun Zhao, who was wearing her combat uniform and had her waist knife strapped to her waist, then looked away and called to all the team members, "Let's go."
"yes!"
Everyone boarded the bus in turn.
The driver was changed to Song Liang.
As a reconnaissance soldier, Duan Xi needed to go out and investigate the situation as soon as he entered.
Xie Tu sat in the passenger seat, clearing the way for the vehicle and ensuring its safety.
The rest of the group sat solemnly in their seats, awaiting orders.
Two teams from Dawn Base escorted the person to the edge of the contaminated area.
The area was shrouded in a thick, gray fog, creating a somber and oppressive atmosphere. The heavy haze above seemed to be frozen in the air, making it appear particularly eerie and terrifying.
As they drew closer to the gray fog zone...
"Hold on tight!" Song Liang shouted.
The armored off-road vehicle closed all the windows and, without stopping, charged straight into the thick gray fog.
Everyone was instantly enveloped in a gray and gloomy atmosphere.
All around was a deep, dense gray, omnipresent, stretching endlessly from afar, as if it were surging up rapidly with a life force.
Yun Zhao gently raised his hand, and countless cyan fluorescent lights flickered and danced, instantly forming a mental barrier.
This marked her first time officially and voluntarily stepping into the contaminated area.
Her heart started racing uncontrollably; she was a little nervous, but mostly curious about the unknown.
Yun Zhao thought for a moment and then summoned the little bluebird.
The little creature gradually appeared, seemingly very unhappy, flapping its wings and landing on her head.
The intertwined gray fog was blocked outside the vehicle, making the view ahead blurry. Time seemed to pass for a long time. The vehicle slowed down, but it still didn't reach the end and remained in the gray fog.
"Something's not right, why haven't they gone in yet?" Song Liang immediately became alert.
In the past, the contaminated areas were designed to trap everyone inside, and the gates would be left wide open forever if anyone broke in.
Xie Tu narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Everyone, be on your guard!"
He had barely finished speaking.
Yun Zhao sensed a powerful mental pressure surging in, impacting her mental barrier.
The little bluebird became interested and flapped its wings, causing more fluorescent light to appear and continuously devour the gray mist.
Countless lights filled the car, illuminating the originally dim interior as if it were daytime, like a dazzling firework suddenly bursting in the night sky; some even actively entered the team members' bodies.
Just as Yun Zhao was about to speak and remind everyone, the scene before them suddenly changed.
In an instant, it really was just an instant!
Her teammates, including the armored vehicle, had all disappeared, and she suddenly found herself in a completely unfamiliar room.
Yun Zhao: "..."
It wasn't just her.
Even the little bluebird was stunned, standing on her head with its round eyes wide open, filled with astonishment.
The surrounding wisps of fluorescent light were still dancing, and the mental barrier remained, yet she was instantly transported into this room.
Yun Zhao frowned suddenly; the situation was even stranger than she had imagined.
I was alone as soon as I came in.
Because they couldn't break through her mental barrier, they chose to get rid of her?
Or have they all already separated?
Is the rule for Contaminated Zone 88 a single-player instance?
Now things are really messed up; if the rescue fails, we'll have to figure out how to find our lost teammates first.
Yun Zhao pursed his lips and looked up to survey his surroundings.
This is a bedroom.
The pink walls were covered with exquisite flower stickers, and a large white princess bed stood in the center.
Several cute plush toys were placed on the bedside table.
There are pink rabbits, snow-white bears, and Lolita dolls, neatly arranged and sitting on the headboard.
There was a white dressing table by the window, with sparkling crystals inlaid on the edge of the mirror. A soft pink carpet was laid on the floor, and there was a pink wardrobe opposite the bed.
The whole room was filled with warmth.
Yun Zhao opened the wardrobe, revealing all sorts of different styles of princess dresses.
It's obvious that this is a girl's room.
Finding nothing amiss, she began to look down and check her backpack.
Before boarding the bus, everyone had put their backpacks on their backs.
Everything is still there.
My teammates are missing.
She needs to find a way to get back to the team as soon as possible.
Following her consciousness, her spiritual threads began to spread outwards, exploring the surrounding environment.
Yun Zhao put his backpack back on, then suddenly paused, turning his head to look at the closed door.
Her mental focus had barely extended when she caught the emotion.
An unfamiliar feeling.
There are people outside the door.
Yun Zhao silently drew the sword from his waist, walked to the door, and slowly touched the doorknob.
Just as the spiritual threads that had spread outside the door were about to take control of the thing, it suddenly spoke.
"Zhaozhao, are you not ready yet?"
The voice sounded familiar.
Yun Zhao recognized Zhao's voice almost immediately.
However, her voice sounded younger than Aunt Zhao's, and her short sentence conveyed a great sense of familiarity.
The inability to break through her mental barrier means that the gatekeeper cannot obtain her memories and extract 'Aunt Zhao'.
How did it know about Aunt Zhao?
Yun Zhao suddenly remembered that Xie Tu seemed to have gone to her house to try to persuade her to join Team Zero, but Minister Duan beat him to it and found no one there.
She had heard Rabbit mention this briefly in the car.
The members of Team Zero, and Xie Tu... may have met Aunt Zhao.
Their memories were read?
Yun Zhao suddenly opened the room door.
In the spacious and bright living room, a gentle and intellectual woman was sitting on the sofa.
Seeing her come out, he scolded her, "You silly child, your father said he would take you out to eat today, why are you taking so long?"
Yun Zhao did not respond, but stood at the door of the room, looking at the woman in the living room.
The woman resembled Zhao Yan, yet she didn't quite look like her.
Compared to the Aunt Zhao outside, she looked much younger, with delicate makeup on her face, wearing a black belted long dress, and speaking in a very natural tone.
Unlike the mutants in contaminated zone 102, they can only mechanically repeat simple words and actions.
Is it because this is a mature contaminated area, and the gatekeepers are of a higher level?
Or is there another reason?
Yun Zhao asked it directly, "Where are my teammates?"
Zhao Yan did not react to her question.
She stood up, picked up her elegant handbag, and looked ready to leave. "Hurry up and change your shoes, your dad will be home from get off work soon."
Yun Zhao's shoes were on her feet perfectly fine; it's unclear which eye of hers saw that she needed to change them.
She stood at the doorway of the room, without making a move.
The little bluebird tilted its head curiously, seemingly unable to comprehend the strange behavior of the mutant.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up," Zhao Yan urged.
As it spoke, it turned around, its back to Yun Zhao, bent down to pick up the air conditioner remote control from the coffee table, and turned off the appliances in the house.
Yun Zhao stared intently at her retreating figure, expressionless as he raised his hand, sending countless fluorescent lights hurtling towards 'Zhao Yan'.
Just then, the sound of a key turning came from the entrance hall.
The door opened.
A burly man with thick eyebrows and big eyes opened the door and walked in.
He had dark skin, a short buzz cut that hugged his scalp, and wore a black T-shirt, his muscle definition barely visible beneath the fabric.
Yun Zhao was stunned.
She stared blankly at the figure, her inner emotions surging like a tidal wave, about to break through the dam of reason.
The fluorescence immediately disappeared.
Yun Zhao spoke in a trembling voice, calling out, "Uncle..."
