Chapter 415, Polluted Zone 320 (Sixteen)
"Could they have already come out?"
Song Liang said, "They can come out wherever there are mirrors. Perhaps they were sent to Fu's side by the mirror gatekeeper?"
Tao Haohao sat on the ground fiddling with the self-heating rice, and said sarcastically, "Then this gatekeeper is actually quite nice."
He was furious when the mirror gatekeeper was mentioned.
"You don't know, even grenades can't hit it. This gatekeeper is really wicked. He plays a bunch of tricks to sow discord, teases me for a while, and then lets me out."
Tao Haohao retorted angrily, "Do you think I'm a monkey?!"
Duan Xi lay down on the mat to rest, and scoffed, "It even cursed at me and told me to get lost."
Yun Zhao, with a straw in his mouth, froze for a moment upon hearing this, and looked up at the two of them with a complicated expression.
My teammates' attitude remains the same.
Is it possible that they didn't even understand what a 'Dark Guide' was?
After all, apart from Song Liang, the other three weren't very bright...
Then wasn't her感动 (feeling touched) just now for nothing?
Should we take the initiative to explain it again?
Yun Zhao pursed her lips, deciding to explain clearly.
Otherwise, what if we encounter this kind of situation again next time?
She was just about to speak.
Xie Tu walked over and interrupted her, "The Mirror Gatekeeper doesn't want to kill us for now, and probably won't harm Lin Yu either."
"Let's have a quick meeting now to discuss the route. Once Qi Ling comes out, we'll try to rendezvous with Fu Hu's team first."
Yun Zhao looked at him.
Xie Tu softened his tone and said softly to her, "Let's discuss the mission first. The important thing is to get down to business. We can talk about the rest later."
Yun Zhao could only nod.
She happened to get a clue about another gatekeeper from Han Dadao.
Xie Tu held a box of self-heating rice and a box of instant noodles in each of his hands.
"Would you like noodles or rice?"
Yun Zhao: "...Rice, please."
There's nowhere to start a fire right now.
Tao Haohao would eat instant noodles as a snack, munching on them while waiting for his rice.
She wanted something hot, something that would be more filling.
"good."
Xie Tu quickly prepared the rice and placed it in front of her.
The lotus-patterned floor tiles were as white as a mirror, reflecting the dim candlelight inside the hall.
The Guanyin statue above and behind has lowered eyes and a compassionate and serene face, as if silently watching over everything in the hall.
Qi Ling is not here.
The entire Zero Team does not believe in gods or Buddhas.
Everyone sat together in the main hall without any pretense, munching on instant noodles while waiting for their own meals to be heated up.
Let's have a short meeting while we're at it.
Taking this opportunity, Yun Zhao revealed the clues he had obtained: "The Mirror Gatekeeper said that the other gatekeeper is a robot, a robot that flashes red light."
The atmosphere froze.
Everyone looked over at the same time, their eyes focused on her.
"It actually told you all this?" Tao Haohao found it unbelievable.
Duan Xi cursed under his breath, "Damn it, he wouldn't say anything when I asked him anything, and he even cursed at me." He was clearly very bothered by this.
Normally, the treatment is different in front of the captain, which is understandable.
Even the goalkeeper is applying double standards.
Yun Zhao: "...Is that the point?"
It seems like every time we try to talk about serious matters, the conversation goes off-topic.
Xie Tu looked at Duan Xi and said coldly, "Even a headache can't shut you up?"
His gaze swept across the area, and everyone immediately fell silent.
Duan Xi's head really hurt, so he obediently shut his mouth and continued to lie down to rest.
Song Liang pondered for a moment, "The robots on the street are all glowing blue; I haven't seen any with red light."
"It must be hiding."
Yun Zhao said, "It is looking for the Mirror Gatekeeper, and the Mirror Gatekeeper is also looking for it. Whoever can devour the other may merge the contaminated areas and become a true five-star contaminated area."
Based on the previous merged contaminated area, the gatekeepers were unaware of each other's whereabouts.
Han Dadao probably didn't know the robot's weaknesses either, otherwise he would have dealt with them already.
Therefore, Yun Zhao did not ask anything other than about the gatekeeper's attributes.
"We can rule out all structures inside the mirror. The other gatekeeper won't run into the mirror gatekeeper's territory and walk right into their trap."
Xie Tu said, "It's not easy to hide your tracks."
“But there are mirrors everywhere outside, where can it hide?” Wang Jiayu couldn’t help but ask.
No one answered.
Everyone was thinking about it for a moment.
The terrain outside seems to have changed, transforming from a mirror city into a mirror maze.
A maze the size of a city—you can imagine how vast it is.
Finding a robot with special attributes in a city full of robots seems quite difficult.
Not to mention that all of these robots look exactly the same.
Song Liang had a sudden inspiration, "Could it be in a safe house?"
The cellar was named Safe House 03, and there were no mirrors nearby.
According to their thinking, since there is a 'safe house 03', there will naturally be multiple safe houses such as 02/01, and even 04/05/06.
The safe house is clearly in the blind spot of the mirror gatekeeper.
—The discovery of Number 03 was due to the existence of those mirror fragments.
Other places are probably the real safe houses.
Once everyone thought along these lines, they all agreed that it was possible.
Wang Jiayu looked at the captain and asked, "Then after Qi Ling comes out, let's go find Captain Fu and then search the safe house together?"
Song Liang sighed, "It's easier said than done."
Their armored vehicles are already badly damaged; if they face the robots a few more times, they'll probably be scrapped.
Without the heavily armored vehicle, the mortal body could not withstand the robot's energy attacks.
Finding a few safe houses in such a vast contaminated area is by no means easy.
Seeing that the rice was ready, Xie Tu first opened the lid of Yun Zhao's box and said in a low voice, "Don't forget, the robot's scanning device cannot penetrate the mirror."
It has been confirmed that the mirror harbors no ill will towards them.
Just take a few mirrors off and stick them on the car.
The sentries paused, then realized what was happening and clapped their hands in admiration!
"Holy crap! No wonder he's the captain!"

After everyone finished eating.
Qi Ling still did not come out.
The delay was too long, and everyone couldn't help but feel worried.
"That shouldn't be the case. Everyone went in together, so why did Qi Ling take so long?"
"Could he have been taken control of by the gatekeeper?"
"I was worried he wouldn't have enough to eat, so I didn't dare touch the canned meat..."
"Tao Haohao, are you a pig in disguise? All you do is eat! All you ever do is eat!"
Listening to the noise of his teammates, Yun Zhao's eyelids began to droop after he had eaten and drunk his fill.
She forced herself to stay calm and said, "He's fine. He'll come out on his own once he figures things out."
No one knew better than her what Qi Ling was going through.
Han Dadao wouldn't hurt him, but he had to overcome his own mental hurdle.
Xie Tu brought over the cushion, laid it out, pulled her into his arms, and patted her gently. "Sleep for a while and get some rest."
Yun Zhao nodded, adjusted her position in his arms, and slowly closed her eyes.
No matter how dangerous the place.
She can fall asleep almost immediately whenever she feels sleepy.
Xie Tu looked at the others and said in a low voice, "Take a break while I keep watch."
The team members responded quietly.
They each found an open space and lay down to rest inside the main hall.
Even during their rest, the sentries kept their weapons close at hand and remained vigilant at all times.
