Chapter 317 Calm and Tranquil
Xie Tu paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you tired?"
Yun Zhao truthfully replied, "Yes, I did a lot of manual labor this afternoon."
"My shoulders are so sore, I have no strength. A few of us girls cleaned five large warehouses, and those boxes of mineral water bottles were really heavy..." Yun Zhao slowly told him what happened that afternoon.
She didn't even hide the fact that the little bluebird had gone out; she simply said that the little guy had gone out for a trip.
Survivors should arrive from there tomorrow.
There's no way to hide it now, so it's better to just tell the truth.
Xie Tu listened attentively, then reached out and rubbed her sore shoulders. "Take a bath tonight before you sleep. The next few days might be a bit tough. Once we're done with these last couple of days, we'll take care of the rest."
The guide was born weak, and his constitution could not be changed overnight.
Physical labor is not suitable for her.
Yun Zhao nodded slightly, then turned to business, "Let's go pick up those six high school students from the dance studio tomorrow. I have a feeling that all the six-person teams that have appeared are not coincidences."
They have encountered three teams so far.
Xie Tu looked up at her: "Have you found any clues?"
Yun Zhao lowered his eyelids: "Perhaps, but there's too little information right now to be sure."
Xie Tu didn't ask any more questions after hearing this.
Much information cannot be spoken, as it will be known to the gatekeeper.
So far, everything has been calm.
Team Zero seems to have truly entered a zombie apocalypse world, witnessing an apocalyptic catastrophe.
In the darkness.
Dark matter emerged silently, slowly sliding down the outline of the eaves, without a fixed shape, sometimes gathering into clumps, like mist in an abyss.
In an instant, it transformed into fine, dark shadows, entwining every inch of space.
The remaining zombies trapped in the houses on the island, affected by the dark matter, began to tremble violently from their originally sluggish and decaying bodies.
It was as if it had been injected with an evil power.
The withered muscles swelled and twisted at a visible speed, and the veins bulged out under the skin like earthworms. The originally cloudy eyes turned blood red in an instant, flashing with a mad and greedy light, staring intently at the movements outside the house.
It was as if it was a reminder to Team Zero.
This is a bizarre contaminated zone; they are merely bystanders to all the disasters.
Yun Zhao slightly raised his hand, and wisps of cyan-green fluorescence began to frantically devour all the surrounding dark matter with an extremely ferocious manner.
Initially, the light of the spiritual threads spread like a few wisps of firefly light, dotting the sky.
They usually appear in a relatively mild state.
At this moment, it was no longer a simple energy fluctuation, but seemed to have its own will, shining with an even more dazzling light.
My mental strength has indeed increased.
But that doesn't stop her from still being physically weak.
Xie Tu saw this and his eyes flickered slightly.

In addition to the seven members of Team Zero, six other university students were also staying at the five-star hotel where Team Zero was staying.
Those six people were fairly honest and obedient, and they could help with some chores.
Xie Tu then refused to let them move out.
After dinner, everyone settled into their rooms.
Most of the guest rooms on the first floor have been used to store supplies, while the second floor has been reserved for the six college students.
The entire Zero Team moved into guest rooms on the third floor.
Yun Zhao and Rabbit shared a room, while the others each had their own room.
All the rooms are connected, with the two girls' rooms in the middle. Qi Ling's room is on the left, and Xie Tu's room is on the right.
The room's huge floor-to-ceiling windows face the riverbank behind the hotel, where you can see two military trucks parked across the opposite bank.
And below, zombies wander aimlessly.
The pervasive dark matter is invisible to ordinary people, but they can vaguely sense that the zombies seem to be undergoing some kind of evolution.
The survivors staying in the hotel next door were so frightened by the sight that they dared not turn on the lights. All the curtains were drawn, and there was no sound from them.
They only gave out two bottles of mineral water, but no one complained.
As newcomers, they were likely observing those people, while those people were also trying to figure out their identities and temperaments.
No one wanted to be the first to stick their neck out.
Having finally reached a relatively safe place, it would be a huge loss to be kicked off the island.
Duan Xi brought out brand-new four-piece bedding sets from the warehouse and distributed them to each room.
Tao Haohao and Song Liang helped boil water and carry it upstairs.
Upon seeing the captain, the rabbit turned and went up to the rooftop terrace to survey the surrounding dangers.
The island is surrounded by water on all sides, and the riverbed is relatively wide.
To allow tourists to enjoy the view, the hotel built the entire street along the water, with a long river behind it.
Rabbits have excellent eyesight and, with the help of the dim light emanating from the hotel, can clearly see what is moving in the water.
The zombies submerged in the water were half-submerged and half-floating, occasionally surfacing and splashing around. Their skin became abnormally pale and even somewhat transparent in the water, and the dense blue blood vessels and rotting muscles under the skin could be vaguely seen.
Sometimes, a zombie's hand will suddenly reach out of the water, grab a floating branch or seaweed, and then slide back down helplessly, leaving ripples in its wake, as if announcing its presence and threat to the outside world.
Even more terrifying is that as the dark matter invades the body, the zombie will twitch without warning.
Dark matter is driving their evolution.
The rabbit came down from the terrace and saw Yun Zhao standing on the corridor. It immediately asked, "Should we set up a defensive line on the shore next?"
The water level is currently low, so the zombies in the water can't climb out for the time being.
However, there is a low-lying boat dock to the north that is responsible for receiving tourists for boating.
The terrain there is very low, so zombies can easily swim over there and climb onto the island.
There are several zombies wandering around to the north right now.
Yun Zhao stood at the door but did not go in. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Of course we need to. There are still many things to do tomorrow."
Everything is difficult at the beginning.
Fortunately, there are survivors on the island now; otherwise, with just a few of them, they don't know how long they would have to keep busy.
Survivors who want to have enough to eat naturally need to work.
The rabbit walked over curiously, about to ask Sister Yunzhao why she was staying outside instead of going in, but before she even got inside, she heard noises coming from the room.
The rabbit poked its head out and peered into their room.
The hotel rooms had been unoccupied for almost a month, and a thin layer of dust had settled inside.
Their room had been cleaned at some point.
Inside the room, the captain stood with his back to her, his tall figure beside the bed, holding a quilt cover, making the bed for Sister Yun Zhao.
rabbit:"……"
The doors to the neighboring rooms were all open.
The teammates are all cleaning up their accommodations.
It's still unknown how long I'll be in this contaminated area. I can't let others suffer, so I need to make sure I can sleep comfortably.
There was too much dust; no wonder Sister Yun Zhao was standing outside the door.
Qi Ling brought over several vacuum cleaners and taught everyone how to use them.
He didn't really know how to use it either, but he taught him by following the instructions. Seeing this, Yun Zhao also went over and got a vacuum cleaner.
The room is carpeted and can't be swept clean, so I'll vacuum it again.
Xie Tu had already gone into the bathroom and started cleaning the bathtub.
She was exhausted after a long day and needed a bath.
One of them was mopping the floor with a vacuum cleaner, and the other was cleaning the bathroom.
Seeing this, the rabbit ran downstairs to the warehouse to grab some food and pile it up in everyone's rooms. If they got hungry at night, they wouldn't bother running around.
