Chapter 333 Be nicer to Fire Phoenix?
Fire Phoenix was forced to leave Little Bluebird again, clearly throwing a tantrum.
Upon arriving at the beach, the sand was covered with hordes of zombies. Fire Phoenix, as if venting its anger, kept swooping down to attack, killing off large groups of zombies with each strike.
It seems they want to finish their mission and come back as soon as possible.
Xie Tu was too lazy to communicate with it; he just wanted to clean it thoroughly.
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhao couldn't help but say, "Why don't you treat it a little better?"
The way S-class Sentinels and their spiritual entities interact is quite strange.
Those who spoil their children are spoiled to death, and those who dislike them are disliked to death.
Xie Tu glanced at the supply trucks driving ahead, paused for a moment, and said, "I'll give it a try."
He thought of the little bluebird, who was also a phoenix, and loved to stick to Yun Zhao, always putting her first.
It has its own bird perch and swing, as well as a bunch of toys and its own playroom.
Since its birth, Fire Phoenix's first toy was a red ball that Yun Zhao bought for it. It loved it dearly and would bring it home to play with every night.
Xie Tu never bought it anything.
Fire Phoenix followed him into various dangerous and polluted areas. Not long after awakening, she became covered in dark substances and was overwhelmed by violent emotions every day.
Before meeting Yun Zhao, it had been in a daze.
Perhaps we could try to treat it a little better.
At this moment, the Fire Phoenix was on its way back, and through the mental connection, it sensed the original consciousness.
The little guy immediately took advantage of the situation.
Are you good to me?
"Then you mustn't separate me from Qingluan. I want to be with Qingluan every day and don't want to come back at night. You can do the work yourself."
Why can't a guide have two spiritual entities?
That way I won't have to get your permission for everything, and I can stay with her all the time. I want to live in her mental realm...
Xie Tu rubbed his temples: "Shut up."
The phoenix bristled, "[You said you'd be good to me!]"
Why don't you wear red clothes or a red hat...?
Xie Tu said expressionlessly, "It won't get any better."

The group returned to the safe base, by which time it was completely dark.
Those who pushed the supply trucks back later collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, after crossing the suspension bridge.
With zombies chasing them from behind, the group was practically risking their lives.
In comparison.
The person driving the car was clearly much more relaxed, as Dong Hui and the others had already slipped back to their rooms with bulging backpacks on their backs.
Jingyao and the others did not collect supplies because they were helping to kill zombies.
Yun Zhao made the decision and told them to go directly to the car to get it.
After a moment's hesitation, the six thanked the driver, got up, took some food from the car, and returned to their room to rest.
The Zero Team members dragged the supplies back to their hotel and temporarily stored them in their first-floor guest rooms.
After dark.
The entire city was shrouded in thick darkness, without a single ray of light, like a deathly abyss.
Only two hotels on the island shone faintly, like a glimmer of hope in the darkness.
In the distance, the sounds and movements of zombies could be heard from time to time.
Everyone had long been used to it.
After finishing their meal, the spirits returned together.
The fire phoenix and the peregrine falcon were also among them.
The little bluebird flew straight towards Yun Zhao. It was in a good mood after doing something bad, and unusually gave the fire phoenix a kind look.
[Throw them all away!]
The spirits retrieved all the hidden supplies and threw them into places where the survivors couldn't find them.
The little bluebird, always eager for chaos, couldn't wait to see their reaction upon discovering the supplies were missing.
Yun Zhao also wanted to see it, and casually praised it a couple of times.
The little bluebird proudly raised its head to accept her praise.
The peregrine falcon on the other end was also communicating with Duan Xi.
As usual, the Zero Team members gathered in the suite on the third floor.
Duan Xi said, "The Peregrine Falcon searched the area thoroughly but didn't find Chen Xi's boyfriend. Instead, it found quite a few survivors."
For ordinary people, the zombies nowadays are too powerful.
They were unable to leave their hideout and come to a safe base.
Especially near the university town, the population is dense and the number of zombies is extremely high.
Fortunately, Jingyao and the other group arrived early; if they had been a day later, they probably wouldn't have been able to get here safely.
Xie Tu nodded: "At our speed, we should be able to clear that area by the day after tomorrow. After the Peregrine Falcon has scouted the route tomorrow, we will expand the search area."
The analysis should follow.
Everyone began to review today's actions.
Song Liang sat cross-legged on the sofa, spreading out a map. "The cleanup is a bit slow. We've worked hard all afternoon, and we've only cleared out the zombies at one intersection."
"There are eleven truckloads of supplies in total. We still need to figure out how to get them out."
"Our biggest concern now is that, at our current pace, we don't know when we'll be able to clear the zombies from the entire city."
Song Liang said, "The gatekeeper has not shown up yet. Every day that passes, the zombies get stronger. If the last ones turn into zombie kings, we alone will probably be in trouble."
Qi Ling imagined the scene: the city was filled with hundreds of thousands of zombies, each a zombie king, each with superpowers.
The fight involved a mix of various supernatural abilities, including lightning, fire, water, and ice...
Will they just directly adapt the post-apocalyptic world into a fantasy?
Qi Ling: "..." The gatekeeper shouldn't have that much ability.
Qi Ling couldn't help but explain again: "In typical post-apocalyptic novels, if someone has superpowers, they will have crystal cores, and various crystal cores will help superpowered individuals improve their abilities."
In the afternoon, the sounds of artillery fire were constant, smoke filled the air, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Qi Ling's eyesight was completely unable to see the zombies that had suddenly developed superpowers, nor did he hear the sentries' discussions.
I only learned about the mutated zombies when I returned.
Qi Ling couldn't help but say, "Have you dug open the zombies' brains to look inside? The crystal core is usually inside the brain."
Sentinels: "..."
"That's disgusting!" Tao Haohao shouted. "Who would dig out a monster's brain for no reason? I'm not a pervert!"
Duan Xi felt a chill run down his spine: "Do you even understand human anatomy? Do you know what's inside the brain?"
"Cerebral cortex, white matter, cerebrospinal fluid, brain matter... digging into a zombie's brain to find the crystal core? Do you think it's as simple as opening a sea urchin? It's completely unethical!"
Qi Ling: "...I don't know, that's how it's written in the novel."
Yun Zhao muttered to himself, "People in the old days really had heavy tastes."
The rabbit nodded vigorously.
The topic has unsurprisingly veered off course again.
Xie Tu remained calm as always and said, "We'll find those mutated zombie corpses tomorrow, dig them up and see."
Duan Xi was the first to react, "I won't do it!"
"I won't do it either." Tao Haohao shook his head vigorously, then after a second of thought, he immediately added, "Even the brown bear won't do it!"
The rabbit weakly raised its hand, "Captain, I can't either..."
Yun Zhao remained silent. She was just a guide with no strength to even kill a chicken, and this job was definitely not going to be hers anyway.
Song Liang hesitated, as if he wanted to speak.
Qi Ling pulled down the hood of her cloak, trying to minimize her presence.
When reading the novel, I felt that mining crystal cores was quite understated, and even a little bit satisfying.
But the thought of him actually going there, with his head ripped open and his rotting corpse staring wide-eyed in death, its brains spilling out, sent chills down his spine.
Xie Tu paused for a moment, then said, "Have the survivors dig, the one named Dong Hui."
He led the way in hiding supplies; it would be too lenient to just let him drive the car back.
The entire Zero team breathed a sigh of relief.
The topic then shifted back to the group, and they began discussing their plans for the next day.
