Chapter 374 Dream Castle
Yun Zhao sat inside the armored vehicle, surrounded by his teammates.
She gazed at the vivid, familiar faces and silently lowered her head.
She really needs to think carefully about how to explain this to everyone.
Should we... repeat the mistakes of the red-crowned crane?
The door, radiating a white glow, was right in front of them, and the armored vehicle roared toward it.
From night to day, it's only a moment.
The glaring light caused everyone inside and outside the car to squint.
The sun was shining brightly.
The vast land was filled with ruins and rubble, and the roads were buried by yellow sand and gravel, presenting a scene of desolation and barrenness.
Yun Zhao raised his hand to shield his eyes from the intense sunlight.
The little bluebird had returned to its territory. It seemed to be in a bad mood, and without time to explore that unfamiliar land, it perched on a sycamore tree and closed its eyes to rest.
The reinforcements who noticed the commotion immediately rushed over to provide support.
The contaminated area did not collapse, but the two teams suddenly appeared, which was somewhat puzzling.
The armored vehicle drove up to the entrance of the temporary camp.
Yun Zhao's mind was in a mess. After getting out of the car, he still forced himself to come over and said to Qi Ling, "Let me help you set up a barrier first."
She expended a great deal of mental energy in the contaminated area and was also affected by the fragments of consciousness suddenly released by the little blue bird.
But they still have the strength to help Qi Ling build a barrier.
Qi Ling looked down at the black liquid oozing from his body, his expression dejected. "Okay, thank you for your trouble..."
He followed Yun Zhao with his head down.
Xie Tu watched the two enter the camp, then turned and glanced at his companions behind him, saying, "Go and rest first, we'll talk about it after you've had a good night's sleep."
For the last 72 hours, the sentries didn't close their eyes.
In particular, the Fu'an team members barely rested from the moment they entered the contaminated area until they came out.
Even now, some people are still completely confused.
Why did the door suddenly open? Why did they suddenly come out?
Things happened so fast that the sentries standing on the ground outside felt a sense of unreality.
Fu Heng climbed off the roof of the vehicle, turned to look at her team members, and said, "Listen to Team Leader Xie, everyone go and rest first."
The temporary encampments of the two bases are right next to each other.
The sentries were indeed tired. Since the captain had spoken, they said goodbye and went to their own tents to sleep.
In no time at all.
Only the two captains remained at the camp entrance.
The Fuhe team returned empty-handed; they failed to secure the so-called joint mission and did not obtain any supplies.
Fu Mo's expression remained calm.
She stood there in her sharp combat uniform, not going inside to rest.
Xie Tu understood why she wasn't leaving and said, "The gatekeepers are from the four major bases. The clues I obtained are related to the coordinates."
Fu Heng raised an eyebrow. "Coordinates?"
Xie Tu: "Hmm, it might point to a contaminated area."
The numbering of contaminated areas only appeared during the wasteland era.
The location given needs to be compared to determine which contaminated area it is in.
Fu Yu understood this as well, and she was thinking about it.
What does it mean when the goalkeeper gives a landmark?
“I remember Yun Zhao saying that the gatekeeper knew the truth about the disaster, and the bet between her and the gatekeeper was related to that.”
However, there is one thing Fu Heng is not quite sure about.
She asked softly, "In the end, the door appeared out of nowhere. Did they win or lose?"
The bet was to find the gatekeeper within seventy-two hours.
But the goalkeeper never showed up.
If the gatekeeper is from one of the four major bases and remains rational, regardless of victory or defeat, they might actually provide Xie Tu with clues and then open the gate to let them leave safely.
Did we ultimately win the battle against the problem?
There are significant differences.
If we lose, this might be our only clue; if we win, it will lead to the truth behind the disaster.
Xie Tu's face was cold and weary. "Let's have a small meeting tomorrow morning to discuss this in detail."
No one knows what the gatekeeper said to Yun Zhao.
But just to be on the safe side.
Avoid setting expectations too high for Fuqi.
Xie Tu said, "Regardless of whether we have received any information or not, we will inform you as soon as we confirm the coordinates."
"Then I'll have to apply to the base for a joint mission."
Fu Mo waved casually, turned around and walked to the next room, saying, "I won't disturb your rest any longer, I'm leaving."
It was midday, and the sunlight was dazzling.
The air was filled with a warm atmosphere, and the occasional breeze brought not coolness, but a sweltering heat that made people feel irritated.
Xie Tu's eyes were deep and unfathomable as he turned and entered the camp.
The passing sentries greeted them.
Xie Tu nodded in acknowledgment and went to the rest area.
Given the sentries' keen senses and the distance between the tents, Team Zero rested there on the day they arrived at Contaminated Zone 111, leaving their tents behind.
The tent curtains of the team members' tents were all drawn, and they had already gone inside and were fast asleep.
Xie Tu's gaze lingered on a certain tent for a moment, and after a while, he bent down and entered his own tent.
The gatekeeper used to be from Dawn Base.
No matter how many years have passed.
It is still moved when it sees the red-crowned cranes on their shoulders.
Xie Tu lay on the simple folding bed, raising his arm to cover his eyes.
When he came down from the watchtower, the gatekeeper not only told him the coordinates, but also said something to him.
Be wary of the guides around you.

The azure sky displays the purest blue.
Below lies a crystal-clear lake, its surface as calm as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and green trees and grass along its shores.
Yun Zhao walked along the lakeside and came to a large tree.
She looked up.
The little bluebird was perched on a tree branch, resting with its eyes closed. Its head was slightly lowered, and its slender neck was naturally bent, hiding its head under its wings, with only its sharp beak showing.
As if sensing her arrival, its drooping, magnificent tail feathers twitched slightly.
Yun Zhao realized that it was alright, so he didn't linger and continued walking along the grass.
Southwest corner.
The amusement park stood quietly, and as she wished, the carousel gradually began to turn, playing cheerful music.
Yun Zhao stopped at the entrance, but his gaze was fixed on the amusement park next door.
The white fog there has dissipated.
An additional manor castle has been built, looking like it stepped out of a fairy tale.
It covers a large area and is brightly colored. The main body is painted a sweet light pink, just like strawberry ice cream, which is a favorite of children.
The spires are rounded cones, inlaid with colorful candy-shaped gems.
Cute and dreamy.
Yun Zhao watched for a while, then slowly walked inside.
A small rainbow bridge connects the castle to the outside world.
She crossed the rainbow bridge and entered the spacious courtyard, where she saw a fountain in the center with crystal-clear water, jets of water gushing from exquisite sculptures, surrounded by a colorful garden.
The garden is crisscrossed with winding paths.
As you get closer, you can clearly see part of the interior through the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the garden.
The curtains are whimsical crystal tulle curtains, and many cute dolls are placed by the window.
Various children's toys were scattered on the carpet.
