Chapter 447 The Return of Darkness (Part 10)
Like the sentries at the Dawn Base, Zheng Shao and the others felt much more at ease seeing Xie Tu there.
He and several others quickly stepped forward to greet them.
But then the car door opened.
Xie Tu didn't greet them, but instead went around to the passenger side and carried out a delicate little girl dressed in a princess dress.
Zheng Shao was stunned: "..." Wasn't the person with Xie Tu the guide Yun?
Where did this child come from?
Moreover, the little girl's features are very similar to Cloud Guide's; they are almost identical.
Could it be...?
Xiao Yunzhao was pouting when she was carried off the bus.
After getting all the information out of her, the cook ignored her.
She turned to look at the group of stunned sentries, her dark eyes darting around, and with her hands clinging to Xie Tu's neck, she sweetly called out in her childish voice, "Daddy!"
Xie Tu's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, but he could not refute it.
Everyone was stunned.
Sun Chao, who had just gotten out of the car behind her, almost tripped over the door when he heard her shout.
Sun Chao thought to himself, "Just as I thought!"
Captain Xie actually had a secret marriage, and his child is already so big!
The key question is: Who is the child's mother?
Zheng Shao then went on to imagine all sorts of scenarios.
I didn't see the cloud guide, so I probably wasn't involved.
When Xie Tu and Guide Yun first visited, the two did not hide their relationship and held hands when they went out, clearly indicating that they were a couple.
I didn't see the little girl at the time.
Perhaps Captain Xie mistakenly thought their camp was run by middlemen and, feeling it was dangerous, placed the child at the sentry post?
The Dawn Base has not disclosed the age of the cloud guide.
Zheng Shao couldn't help but sigh. Guide Yun had a baby face and didn't look very old, but he didn't expect that he and Team Leader Xie's child were already five or six years old.
The expressions of those present varied.
The atmosphere inexplicably froze.
Xiao Yunzhao giggled and poked Xie Tu's face. Then she turned her head and found that everyone was staring at her.
Her expression immediately changed. "What are you looking at!"
Zheng Shao: "..."
Team Leader Xie and Guide Yun both have very good tempers.
This child's personality seems to have inherited the spirit of the Cloud Guide.
The important matter at hand is what matters right now.
Zheng Shao acted as if nothing had happened, and smiled as he stepped forward to greet Xie Tu, saying, "I am grateful on behalf of the Qinhuai camp for bringing you here, Captain Xie."
Xie Tu grabbed Xiao Yunzhao's mischievous hand and nodded slightly. "How's the situation here?"
"There were no casualties, only the water and electricity were cut off."
A woman surrounded by people stepped forward and said in a gentle tone, "There is a supermarket on the mountain, so there is no shortage of food for the time being, but it won't last long."
Zheng Shao realized what was happening and introduced, "This is our camp leader, Zhuang Wan."
Zhuang Wan is an A-level guide. She hosted a banquet for Xie Tu and Yun Zhao that evening, but neither of them showed up, so she didn't meet them at the time.
This is not the time for casual conversation or pleasantries in the contaminated area.
Zhuang Wan is a sensible person to be able to manage such a large camp as a guide.
An S-class sentinel approached them on its own initiative.
This proves that they were not abandoned.
Zhuang Wan then said, "The Qinhuai camp has 2,418 personnel, including 168 sentries and 4 guides. They are currently on the mountain and are willing to follow Captain Xie's command."
She understood perfectly well.
They were unfamiliar with the contaminated area; only by relinquishing command and following orders could most lives be saved.
"You don't need to do anything."
Xie Tu glanced at the panicked faces behind him and said, "Zhongshan has been designated as a safe zone. The troops at the foot of the mountain will soon withdraw. We must build a defensive line here as soon as possible."
Zhuang Wan was stunned. "A defensive line?"
Xiao Yunzhao was restless; after grabbing her hand, he became even more agitated.
His whole body was expressing his dissatisfaction.
Xie Tu released her hand, held her shoulder to prevent her from falling, and said, "No matter what method we use, we must complete the defensive fortifications at the foot of the mountain today and defend Zhongshan to the death!"
The camp was mostly populated by ordinary people.
This group is in great danger once the dark apocalypse arrives.
With guides at the Qinhuai camp, the sentries were protected.
As long as the foot of the mountain is protected and the mutated species are kept out of reach on the mountain, ordinary people have a chance of survival.
Xie Tu summoned Sun Chao and handed Zhuang Wan a communication device, saying, "The supplies and materials will be delivered by the military later. Contact us if anything comes up."
then.
Xie Tu concisely arranged the necessary defense points, and also gave them a map of the safe zone, as well as the sentry outposts of General Mountain.
He did not stay long.
After explaining everything that needed to be explained, he called all the sentries at Dawn Base and they left.
*
"It's better to rely on yourself than on others."
On the way back, Sun Chao couldn't help but sigh, "It would be a miracle if the Qin Huai Battalion could survive unscathed."
By then, the city will be full of mutants, and there might even be S-class mutants. It's uncertain whether they will survive.
There's no time to protect ordinary people.
"Don't be so pessimistic, I think Captain Xie's method is feasible."
Old Gao said, "The gatekeeper gave us two days of safety; he didn't try to kill us all."
Cai Ruifan from Group Twelve found it strange, "There's no date, how do you know it's two days?"
Old Gao rolled his eyes at him and raised his wrist. "Can't you read the pollution concentration?"
"Holy crap, I only didn't check for a moment, how did it get to 51%?!"
Cai Ruifan realized, "So when the pollution concentration rises to a certain level, the dark apocalypse will come?"
"It should be."
"How much would that be? It wouldn't be 100%, would it? No contaminated area has ever reached 100%. If it were, we wouldn't be able to withstand it, would we?"
Dark matter can erode a sentinel's mental state.
They dared not imagine what kind of hell a region with 100% pollution concentration would be.
Sun Chao shrugged. "I don't know. Captain Xie should have made arrangements."
"I have inhibitors in my bag, do you have any with you?"
"I brought it. Going on a mission without this to save your life is suicide."
"Where do we go now?"
"Follow Captain Xie."
Compared to the bustling traffic behind, the pink Beetle in front was quiet and peaceful.
The sentries huddled in the back seat dared not make a sound.
Because Xiao Yunzhao fell asleep.
She only slept for two hours after coming in, ate and drank her fill, and made a fuss for half a day. Not long after getting in the car, she dozed off and closed her eyes.
Xie Tu glanced out the window.
The streets at five in the morning.
Armored vehicles slowly drove by, their tracks making a dull thud as they rubbed against the ground, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
Large trucks transporting supplies and batteries passed by from time to time.
Along the way.
Various types of large machinery have entered the city and begun construction work.
Multiple lines of defense were established between the safe zone, the buffer zone, and the isolation zone.
The central urban area, including Jiangning District and five other districts, has been designated as a safe zone, and quarantine stations and fast lanes between the various areas are being rapidly constructed.
The noisy construction noise was ear-piercing.
Residents of houses along the street were awakened by the noise and opened their windows to check the situation.
They didn't seem to understand what was happening.
They were cursing and shouting, complaining about disturbing the peace, and threatening to call the mayor's hotline. Some even threw water and objects into the street to express their dissatisfaction.
Xie Tu drove by, his face expressionless.
He led the sentries to the military base to replenish ammunition and equipment.
*
The sky gradually brightened.
The city gradually awakens, and people get up in an orderly fashion to prepare for work or school.
At this time, no one knew.
This will be the last time they see the sun.
