Chapter 376 Choice
Xie Tu also came over and sat down. "I'll leave after the meeting at dawn."
Yun Zhao still hasn't told him what the gatekeeper told her...
Xie Tu glanced around and noticed that one person was missing.
He didn't say anything, but called to Song Liang, "If you're not going to eat in the camp, go get some charcoal and move it outside."
Qi Ling was unwilling to come out where there were other people around.
No one can help him with his inner conflict; we can only wait for him to figure it out on his own one day.
“Okay,” Song Liang replied, and went to find someone to get the charcoal and rice.
The sentries have big appetites, so that little bit of meat certainly wouldn't be enough.
The bag the team leader brought back contained not only seasonings, but also some canned food and pre-cooked dishes.
The barbecue was held on a small hillside outside.
There was no one else there.
Hearing his teammates shouting, Qi Ling hesitated for a long time before finally coming out of the tent.
He was completely covered up, with a black cloak and hood that almost completely obscured his face. His exposed hands were gloved with special black gloves, and he silently followed the others outside.
Yun Zhao called out to him, "Come and help, Tao Haohao brought back a lot of meat."
Qi Ling nodded and came over to help get the ingredients.
The group carried their belongings and built a campfire on the hillside in the middle of the night. They enjoyed the sea breeze, roasted meat, and chatted and laughed together.
Yun Zhao really liked this atmosphere.
Being with a group of optimistic teammates makes all my worries disappear.
"Old Song, have you chosen a name for the baby yet?" Rabbit asked curiously, sitting cross-legged in the sand.
Song Lianggang poured the rinsed rice into the pot that had been set up, and replied with a smile, "I had already thought about it before I was born. The name I chose is Xia Zhile, which means 'contentment brings happiness'."
Duan Xi leaned closer, put his hand on Song's shoulder, and teased, "Not bad, Lao Song, did you look it up in the dictionary?"
Song Liang replied frankly, "I not only looked through dictionaries, but I also looked through some ancient poems and lyrics, and spent a long time selecting them."
Yun Zhao wholeheartedly agreed, "A name stays with a person for a lifetime, so you definitely have to choose the best one."
She really likes her name.
Dad must have spent a long time choosing.
Duan Xi said nonchalantly, "If I have a child in the future, I'll name him Duan Yi, because it's easy to write and easy to remember."
Tao Haohao laughed loudly, "Hahaha, you can't even find a girlfriend, and you're thinking about naming your child!"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
Even Qi Ling's lips couldn't help but curve into a smile.
Duan Xi, enraged and humiliated, yelled, "Get lost!"
He pretended to get up and go to hit Tao Haohao.
Tao Haohao nimbly dodged behind Yun Zhao and taunted, "Come on, if you hit Yun Zhao, the captain will beat you up."
Yun Zhao, forced to become a shield: "..."
Xie Tu was focused on grilling the meat by the grill when he heard them and looked up at them.
Duan Xi didn't dare to actually go over. He shrugged, sat back down, and threatened Tao Haohao, "See you at the training ground!"
The rabbit laughed until its stomach hurt when it saw his cowardly appearance.
The group joked and played around, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
After Xie Tu finished grilling the meat, he turned around, took out a plate, and handed a plate of grilled meat to Yun Zhao.
The rice over there is cooked too.
Everyone sat on the sand dune, each holding a plate, and enjoyed their meal.
Xie Tu was willing to use seasonings to remove the odor, and the roasted meat was no different from the meat he bought at the base.
Yun Zhao hadn't been able to eat meat for several days, so she ate with great relish. However, eating only meat was a bit greasy, so she went over and got an extra bowl of rice.
Xie Tu noticed this and, while putting meat on her plate, reminded her, "Be careful of indigestion."
Happy times are always too short.
After finishing their meal, the campfire was almost out of flame, and the sentries began to clean up the mess.
Yun Zhao handed the plate in his hand to Xie Tu.
She sat quietly, and when she saw that everyone had almost finished tidying up, she suddenly raised her hand and formed a barrier.
The turquoise fluorescent light danced in the air, dreamlike and ethereal, instantly enveloping everyone.
The sentries have long been accustomed to combat. It's not safe outside, and this place is not far from the contaminated zone, where mutants could appear at any time.
Everyone looked up warily at their surroundings, their hands instinctively reaching for their weapons.
Only Xie Tu stood there without moving, looking at her with a calm and composed expression.
After thinking for a long time, Yun Zhao slowly said, "I did get some clues in the contaminated area."
Her teammates turned to look at her upon hearing this.
Yun Zhao said softly, "But the gatekeeper also said that the consequence of seeking the truth could be death."
The task is to be carried out by everyone.
Everyone has the right to know.
Yun Zhao believed that whether or not to tell them the clues should not be a decision she made, but rather the choice should be left to her teammates.
"Will die? What do you mean?" Tao Haohao clearly didn't understand.
Yun Zhao pursed his lips. "The literal meaning."
Song Liang frowned, his expression turning serious. "Clues about the disaster?"
The rabbit's eyes widened. "Why did Sister Yun Zhao create a barrier? Can we still be heard?"
Yun Zhao: "Just in case."
"Just in case?" Duan Xi stroked his chin, lost in thought.
The atmosphere instantly became heavy.
The teammates exchanged glances, speechless.
Everyone instinctively looked at the team leader.
Xie Tu remained standing in the same spot, still holding some unused condiments and food items.
His eyes were deep and his tone was calm as he made the decision for his teammates: "Let's not talk about it for now."
Will I die?
This demonstrates that the source of the disaster is beyond the control of humankind at present.
The dark apocalypse descended without warning back then.
Both dark matter and polluted areas are far beyond the scope of our understanding.
Wherever it went, everything was distorted and eroded, and the once vibrant world was turned into a desolate wasteland.
Within the contaminated zone, all sorts of bizarre creatures roam freely, and the power of the advanced contaminated zone is even more terrifying.
Over the past century, many S-class Sentinels have gone there and never returned.
It has taken two hundred years for humanity to survive and continue to this day.
If the clues are suggestive and could be detected, bringing disaster to teammates and the base, then it's not appropriate to reveal them.
It's not suitable right now, at least not.
The four bases have just recovered from this disaster and are working hard to rebuild and enhance their capabilities.
Humanity has indeed been searching for the truth, but if the truth cannot bear the weight of the battle, then at least we must wait until humanity is prepared to face this challenge.
From any perspective, the timing is wrong right now.
Xie Tu was more concerned about another point.
She has learned of the clues; will it be dangerous for her?
"We all listen to the captain. If the captain says it's not necessary, then it's not necessary," Tao Haohao said casually.
Duan Xi then joined forces with Tao Haohao, echoing, "That's right, we'll go wherever the captain points."
It's not suitable to entrust them with tasks that require thinking.
Rabbit thought either way was fine, since the captain and Yun Zhao were there anyway.
Song Liang nodded, feeling inexplicably relieved.
Nobody wants to encounter an accident because of a clue, especially since his family has just welcomed a new baby.
Only Qi Ling remained silent, lowering his head.
He turned out this way because of the dark matter...
