Chapter 479 Something Big Has Happened
The rate of collapse in the contaminated area is accelerating.
Zhongshan, which had just been quiet for a short while, was once again filled with the howls of the mutants.
Yun Zhao ran against the direction of the frantically fleeing crowd, searched around but didn't see anyone, then turned and ran towards the other side of the mountain.
“Cloud Guide, where are you going?” Guo Yifei shouted.
The sound was drowned out by the surrounding noise.
The sentries quickly followed.
They had promised Captain Xie to protect her and not let her out of their sight.
Yun Zhao weaved through the chaotic crowd, nearly falling over herself. She steadied herself and frantically searched around and around.
Suddenly I realized I had done something stupid.
Yun Zhao called out to the little bluebird: "Ask the Fire Phoenix where he is."
No response was received.
A familiar figure appeared and disappeared in the swirling dust.
The man stood out prominently amidst the chaos.
Yun Zhao's heart clenched. Ignoring the dangers around him, he ran towards him with all his might.
Xie Tu saw her at the same time and quickly ran towards her.
The two were getting closer and closer.
Xie Tu opened his arms and pulled her into his embrace.
"I've been looking for you for so long..." Yun Zhao said sullenly.
Xie Tu gently brushed his chin against her forehead and replied tenderly, "I'm here, I've always been here."
The sentries who followed behind saw this scene and thought, "..." Excuse me.
The collapse is intensifying, and countless mutants are emerging in droves.
The surrounding modern tourist attractions are gradually disappearing, revealing the dilapidated state of Qinhuai Camp outside.
Now is not the time to speak.
Xie Tu quickly let go of her and led her to the top of the mountain. "The reinforcements should be outside. Let's go to the top of the mountain to take shelter."
"Okay." Yun Zhao found the person and immediately relaxed.
She had just expended a lot of mental energy, and her mood fluctuated wildly, leaving her with no strength at all.
Xie Tu simply picked her up and ran up the mountain.
Two phoenixes circled overhead, guiding the reinforcements.
The sentries of Group Nine simply stayed halfway up the mountain to cover the rear and kill any mutants that tried to rush up the mountain.
Once they left the contaminated zone, all the image mutants disappeared, and the remaining monsters became easier to deal with.
Xie Tu and his men quickly reached the mountaintop.
The two deliberately avoided the sentries outside and found a secluded corner to sit down.
We cannot leave this place until the area below the mountain is cleared.
Xie Tu let her rest against his chest and said, "We'll leave once we've cleaned up down there."
We have no choice but to leave.
Everyone assumed his 'daughter' was on the mountaintop, and that leaving her there would immediately expose the deception.
Yun Zhao was still bothered by his delayed return, which had made her worry: "What were you doing just now?"
"We encountered a troublesome mutant, which delayed us a bit." Xie Tu kissed her forehead, without elaborating.
Yun Zhao asked, "Is it because the Fire Phoenix was so severely corrupted that it's holding you back?"
Xie Tu: "Mm."
Fire Phoenix: [...]
Xie Tu clearly didn't want to continue the topic. He took some food out of his bag, tore open the packaging, and handed it to her.
"Eat something and rest for a while."
Yun Zhao yawned and shook his head. "I have no appetite. I want to sleep."
She was so tired, but now that she'd found someone, she could finally sleep peacefully.
Xie Tu didn't force her, finished the bread in a few bites, and gently patted her back, "Go to sleep, I'll watch over you."
Yun Zhao hummed in agreement, nestled in his arms, closed her eyes, and fell asleep in no time.
*
The contaminated zone No. 344 has existed for too long, and there are countless mutant species inside.
Not only are reinforcements from the Dawn Base stationed on the perimeter.
Upon learning that two S-class soldiers had been caught up in the five-star contaminated zone, Dawn Base immediately dispatched troops to the area.
The sound of artillery fire rose from the foot of the mountain...
Having survived the ordeal, the sentries on the mountaintop collapsed onto the spot, their initial bravado dissipating, and exhaustion immediately washed over them.
It's unbelievable that they actually survived a five-star contaminated zone.
Some people still don't understand why the contaminated area collapsed.
"Because of hope."
Zheng Shao sat on the ground, drinking water in large gulps and taking a big bite of a biscuit. "The gatekeeper saw hope, so his obsession dissipated."
Group 7 happened to be resting right next to them.
Tang Zixuan echoed, "The gatekeeper wants to protect Nanjing, but it only protects the Nanjing of the past. It wants to see the future of Nanjing even more."
S-rank guides are too powerful.
He single-handedly dispelled the dark matter in the sky.
The gatekeeper saw her strength and believed she could make Nanjing truly reappear.
Therefore, contaminated zone 344 collapsed.
Tan Wei still feels lingering fear. "It's fortunate that an S-class guide came in. In this contaminated area, anyone other than an S-class guide would probably die inside."
The contamination level exceeded the sentinel's tolerance level, and the gatekeeper was found but could not be killed.
And large cities with tens of millions of people.
If they hadn't contacted the military immediately, they might have faced even more mutants.
"Isn't there also Captain Xie's daughter?"
"Team Leader Xie's daughter is also amazing. It's true that superior genes are the key to awakening."
"you're right!"
Zheng Shao looked around but didn't see Captain Xie or Guide Yun. He asked suspiciously, "However, I didn't see that little girl behind me. How could Captain Xie and Guide Yun leave the child alone?"
Tang Zixuan: "We don't need to worry about that. Other parents are definitely more concerned about their children than we are."
Zheng Shaoyi thought so too.
Groups nine and ten remained halfway up the mountain to clear out the mutated species.
As the contaminated area completely collapsed, the monsters scattered. The contaminated area was too vast, and the number of mutants near Zhongshan was decreasing.
They can manage for now.
Meanwhile, communication with the outside world is gradually being restored.
The communicators worn by the sentries all crackled to life, receiving messages from the outside world.
The same applies to Yun Zhao and Xie Tu.
The two people's communicators vibrated repeatedly.
Afraid of waking her, Xie Tu silenced her communicator and then checked the message sent by Minister Duan.
[Minister Duan]: After you come out, take Yun Zhao back to the base immediately!
Minister Duan's tone suggested that he was certain the two would be alright.
Xie Tu didn't reply; instead, he checked the messages sent by his teammates.
After so many days, they should have returned to base by now, and the next training and follow-up arrangements need to be made.
Xie Tu opened Song Liang's message, and his pupils contracted sharply when he saw the contents.
Song Liang: "Captain! Something terrible has happened!"
“Just a few days ago, a group of sentries at Dawn Base were taken over by a wild guide, and Minister Han happened to run into them on the way to Dawn Base.”
[Song Liang]: "Minister Han captured the guide alive, and the matter of the Dark Guide has been exposed..."
The four bases were in an uproar.
The guide has existed for over a hundred years, yet such a huge secret remains unknown to anyone.
[Song Liang]: "The base's higher-ups seem to have noticed something. Minister Duan has ordered you to return to the base immediately!"
