Chapter 349 Transport Ship
Upon entering the cabin, a narrow and dimly lit passageway comes into view, with flickering lights on the walls.
It gives people a feeling of oppression and gloom.
The passageway was lined with tightly closed cabins, their doors half-closed and the cabins completely empty, like a ghost ship.
Yun Zhao and Xie Tu continued on their way and arrived at the cargo storage area.
The huge, empty space was filled with ammunition boxes and various weapon boxes that had been loaded onto the ship yesterday, neatly stacked in a corner, occupying only a very small portion of the space.
In the distance, the sea and sky blend into one.
It was impossible to tell where the sky ended and the sea began; everything seemed so vast and so free.
"Captain, how far is the edge of the contaminated zone from here?" Yun Zhao couldn't see, so he turned to ask Xie Tu.
Xie Tu's eyes flickered slightly: "I sent Fire Phoenix over to check. The transport ship will probably take about twenty minutes to sail."
There is some distance.
Yun Zhao: "Then how do we send Qi Ling off?"
There is only one ship in the port.
“We can only use yachts,” Xie Tu said. “After the people from Peach Blossom Island come out, the yachts are all moored on that beach. We can just bring two over.”
I really don't feel comfortable leaving Qi Ling alone.
The mutants can freely enter and exit the contaminated area, but Qi Ling is an anomaly after all.
Team Zero must personally watch him get out safely to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
"good."
Yun Zhao stood on the deck for a while, then pulled Xie Tu along, "Let's go to the bow and check the bridge. See if Qi Ling can operate it."

The people unloading the goods worked quickly, and a hundred or so people soon loaded all the rice from the trucks onto the ship.
Yun Zhao, Qi Ling, and Duan Xi remained on the ship.
The three of them stayed in the wheelhouse, studying together how to operate the boat.
The remaining sentries led the survivors back to the grain wholesale market and continued transporting the grain back and forth.
Apart from Song Liang, who was driving the armored vehicle, the other sentries stood on the roof of the vehicle, killing the mutated zombies that were attacking them.
It took the group a whole day to empty the grain wholesale market.
Xie Tu then pried open all the warehouses in the port, selecting useful supplies. The peregrine falcon also discovered a warehouse containing fuel.
The sentries helped load it into the container and onto the ship.
Containers can be stacked on top of each other, making use of this space to take more items out.
By nightfall, the ship was only loaded with less than one-tenth of its cargo.
Before leaving, Xie Tu kept his promise and gave each person a ten-pound bag of rice, and only then did the convoy return to the safe base.
I didn't stay idle after I got back.
Tao Haohao instructed people to load the supplies stored at the hotel onto the truck so they could be transported directly to the port the next morning.
The survivors thought they were preparing to leave, so they ran back to their rooms, put down the hairpins, and continued to help move the goods without any complaints.
Jing Yao was caught up in the crowd, so busy that he didn't even notice when Yun Zhao went inside.
He never found an opportunity to ask Yun Zhao.
Jingyao felt as if he had forgotten something, and it was something very important. He really wanted to find someone to ask him about it.
After we finish moving the goods.
Jing Yao pondered for a moment, then walked towards the other end of the alley. He remembered seeing several people with superpowers go to the museum, seemingly wanting to move some artifacts.
He arrived at the entrance of the Folk Culture Museum.
Sure enough, Xie Tu and Tao Haohao were there.
Tao Haohao was carrying two large boxes, which contained the items he had just retrieved from the museum.
Jing Yao looked at Xie Tu and asked directly, "Comrade, why did you put the supplies on the ship? Didn't you say you wanted to stay and end this cannibalistic world?"
"Ending the apocalypse and moving supplies are not mutually exclusive."
Xie Tu said calmly, "We won't leave."
Jingyao's words were all stuck in his throat.
Xie Tu clearly didn't want to say more to him; the answer lay with the gatekeeper.
The mutant's memories are disordered, and the clues it provides are only those that the gatekeeper wants Zero Team to know.
Just as the two were about to leave, they heard Jing Yao speak again: "Since you weren't going to leave, why didn't you tell everyone? You've given them false hope..."
Xie Tu stopped and turned to look back.
The young man's gaze was resolute, and he showed no fear when facing him; his eyes were filled only with a persistent desire to get an answer.
"I will inform everyone, but not today, and not now."
Xie Tu said calmly, "Believe me, you don't want to know the truth."
After saying that, he turned and left, and Tao Haohao followed with the box in his arms.
Jingyao was left standing there, stunned.

Xie Tu told Tao Haohao to go back first, and then he went to the hotel next door to deal with Dong Hui.
But they found that the person was neither in the room nor in the hotel.
After finishing work, if you don't eat or go back to your room, where can you go?
At this moment.
Duan Xi ran over, leaned closer, and whispered gloatingly, "Captain, they've secretly gone to check on the food they hid earlier."
Of the nearly one thousand people on the island, only about a hundred who went out received ten kilograms of rice.
These strong men had to go out of the island all day to move goods, and it wasn't safe to store the supplies in the room.
Dong Hui is not well-liked and distrusts others.
He planned to find another place to hide all the supplies after he left, and also retrieve the batch of seafood he had hidden before.
The area within a radius of dozens of miles has already been cleared away, and even if night falls, there will be no problem within a few hundred meters.
But he is still unaware that everything he hid was taken away by the spirits.
The peregrine falcon happily followed to watch the excitement.
Xie Tu remembered the little bluebird, who had always wanted to see him make a fool of himself, so he used a mental connection to have the fire phoenix bring the little bluebird back.
As the cleanup began, the Fire Phoenix had already fled to the other side of the coastline.
The route is full of scenic spots and activities, and the little bluebird can find something fun every day, so it doesn't come back until very late.
Yun Zhao never rushed him.
If the little bluebird doesn't return, the fire phoenix naturally won't return either. It will work a few extra hours every day, and the cleaning speed will visibly increase.
Xie Tu and Duan Xi returned to their hotel, planning to have dinner before going over to deal with the people.
Yun Zhao and Qi Ling sat together, still discussing how to operate the transport ship.
Yun Zhao was also reading a book and said, "The radar and autopilot cannot be started. You can only operate it with the rudder. After starting the engine to warm it up, you just need to learn how to accelerate, decelerate, turn, and stop the ship."
Qi Ling: "...It sounds simple."
But the sea is not calm, and there are too many uncertainties.
Yun Zhaozhen thought it was quite simple: "It's only twenty minutes. You just need to drive for twenty minutes, and there will be reinforcements to meet you when you get out. Don't worry, we will follow you in the yacht until you get out."
A medium-sized transport ship can carry 100,000 tons, and it may take several days to fully load the ship.
Team Zero still needs to continue clearing out zombies and going to various shopping malls and supermarkets to take out as much food as possible.
Just like Xie Tu said.
She also felt that the gatekeeper didn't seem to have any ill intentions.
They delayed taking action against them and deliberately left behind a giant transport ship, seemingly hoping that they would smuggle the goods out.
Yun Zhao began to think about a question.
Could the gatekeeper be one of the members of the Red-crowned Crane group?
If so, why did it become the gatekeeper?
