Chapter 399 The New Guide
The open view and lack of cover made it almost a hunting ground for the mutant species.
The further we drove, the more mutant species we encountered along the way.
Some of them resembled twisted wild beasts, or were deformed into a combination of humans and animals, and suddenly chased after the convoy.
The roars echoed across the empty wilderness, sending chills down one's spine.
The armored vehicle at the front made noises from time to time.
The bullet pierced the mutant's body, producing a dull thud.
Towards the end.
Rabbit and Tao Haohao both climbed onto the roof of the vehicle to clear out the monsters in front of them.
Meanwhile, Xie Tu became the driver in the military vehicle midway through the journey.
*
Five days later, the convoy arrived safely at section 320.
Five kilometers from the contaminated area.
The temporary camp of Dawn Camp was set up on a relatively flat open space.
Simple protective fences were erected around the camp, and military tents were neatly arranged, bearing the logo of the Dawn Base.
The roar of the car had already alerted everyone.
When the convoy came into view.
Fu Mo, dressed in a sharp combat uniform, and her team members were already waiting outside.
The entire Zero Team disembarked.
The two teams successfully joined forces.
Yun Zhao and Xie Tu lagged two steps behind. As soon as they got out of the car, waves of heat hit them in the face.
It's hotter in the south than in the southwest.
After experiencing a dark apocalypse, global temperatures are unbalanced, and it's only the beginning of April, yet temperatures have already reached over 30 degrees Celsius.
Yun Zhao was afraid of the cold but not the heat, so she could endure it for the time being. She looked up and saw that the sentries on the outside were all in uniform. There were 12345...6 people standing in front of the temporary camp.
A new face appeared in Fu Hu's team at some point.
The pale-faced young man was slender and had a refined appearance. He stood unremarkable behind Zhuo Yu.
The sentries naturally saw it too.
But since Fu Qi didn't introduce herself, everyone pretended not to know and greeted her familiarly.
"We meet again so soon!"
Since everyone was an old acquaintance, there was no need for formalities. Song Liang asked, "How many days have you been here?"
Lin Yu held up four fingers: "It's been four days. There's no signal here. If you don't come soon, the captain is planning to drive to post 315 to contact you."
Fu Chongyun and Xie Tu nodded. "Let's go inside and talk!"
The group entered the temporary camp.
Not far behind.
Rows of military vehicles were parked neatly, and the reinforcements from the Dawn Base got off and quickly began setting up their own camp.
Let me introduce myself.
As Fu Heng walked, she pointed at the slender young man, "New team member, Qu Xingzhou, A-level guide, his spiritual form is a sika deer."
Qu Xingzhou, representing the Zero-Strike Team, smiled warmly and said, "Hello everyone, please give me your guidance."
"Hello." Xie Tu nodded slightly, showing no surprise.
Sentinels and guides are very easy to distinguish.
Qu Xingzhou's presence in Fu Qian's group already says it all.
Yun Zhao blinked.
The guides have been confined to the base for decades. Have other guides finally left the base?
This is a good thing.
Everyone makes different choices; people are inherently multifaceted.
Some people were willing to follow orders and stay in the base for life, while others were eager to change the world and were willing to make sacrifices, standing up and shedding their blood.
The base should not completely disregard individual wishes.
Yun Zhao thought of Bai Yu.
Today is April 4th.
Bai Yu is going to visit the Dawn Base on the 20th of this month.
I wonder if Bai Yu will change her mind after she comes out and sees the devastated world outside.
“We have already surveyed the surrounding terrain. This place is northeast of the polluted area, separated by a river, with Nanjing on the other side…” Fu Yan explained the situation to Xie Tu in a businesslike tone.
Qu Xingzhou was probably not familiar with everyone. After greeting them, he didn't say anything more and walked quietly beside the captain, listening to everyone's chatter.
And then.
Lin Yu pulled the rabbit along and whispered to them about how Qu Xingzhou had joined the team.
Yun Zhao deliberately lagged behind by two steps to listen.
"This story begins with the cloud guide..."
Since Team Zero acquired the guides, the sentries can use their abilities in contaminated areas with peace of mind, as the guides are always there to help them clear the way.
The team's overall combat effectiveness has improved significantly.
They eliminated several gatekeepers in succession.
Upon learning this, Fu Yu was itching to find an aggressive guide for the team as well.
Unfortunately, progress has not been very smooth.
Guides are scarce, and the guides she had her eye on were unwilling to give up their stable lives to enter the polluted area.
But she, who was willing, complained that she was too weak.
There is only one S-rank guide, and she has lowered her requirements, only wanting to find an offensive A-rank guide.
—This way, at least we won't hold back during the mission.
However, A-level guides are also very rare; there are only a handful in the entire base.
It's impossible for Fu Heng to run off to other bases to snatch people.
The matter was thus shelved.
Until recently, when the Sentinel Forum was established.
In order to obtain an accurate number of wild guides, the four bases require real-name registration and authentication before they will open up information and share experiences with the outposts.
Qu Xingzhou arrived at the Dawn Base at that time.
He was identified as a Level A guide.
Dawn Base immediately began to consider recruiting them.
However, he himself seemed unwilling to be kept in the base, and declined the base's offer almost without thinking.
After receiving the news, Fu Yu sent people to find out his background and then went to meet him in person.
"Anyway, I don't know what the captain said to him, but he finally agreed to join our team."
Lin Yu whispered to the Zero Team members, "The base has no choice, because if they don't agree, the people will run away."
The rabbit gave a thumbs up, "Captain Fu is awesome!"
As expected of an S-class Sentinel, their execution is top-notch.
"Captain Jiang probably can't sleep," Duan Xi said.
Yun Zhao thought about it and realized it was true.
The other two S-class teams already have accompanying guides, so Jiang Mu is once again forced into a fierce competition.
During a casual chat.
The group entered the tent, and the atmosphere became serious.
"Latest reconnaissance report on contaminated zone 320."
Fu Heng unfolded a map. "There has been no spread. It covers an area of about 2,000 square kilometers, which is consistent with the data given by the survey team. We have been monitoring it for four days and have not seen any mutants coming out of it."
"This awful weather, I wouldn't want to come out either," Tao Haohao couldn't help but say.
Qi Ling hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
What he actually meant was that the mutants seemed to be unable to feel heat, while he felt nothing at all.
Qu Xingzhou kept wiping away sweat after entering the tent.
The tent was stuffy and hot, even hotter than outside. I don't know how these sentries endured it.
He subconsciously glanced at Yun Zhao, who was also a guide.
Just then, he saw Captain Xie take a bottle of mineral water out of his backpack and hand it to him.
The little bluebird perched on the main body's head, grumbling: "Useless guide, what are you looking at!"
Qu Xingzhou: "..."
Xie Tu, with his keen senses, noticed his gaze and turned to look at him.
Qu Xingzhou smiled politely.
"When shall we go in?" Fu Mo asked Xie Tu for his opinion.
Xie Tu shifted his gaze and replied calmly, "I'll go after resting for a few hours."
The outside temperature is too high and the environment is harsh.
The sentries weren't oblivious; they just had an extraordinary level of endurance.
Resting in a tent is too uncomfortable and will only affect your condition; it's better to go inside sooner.
Yun Zhao had no objection to this.
Whether it was due to the effects of the training or the dissipation of the white mist in her mental realm, she felt that her body was more resilient than before.
