Chapter 487 The person has been found
The sun was scorching.
Bright spots of light were cast on the wooden floor of the study.
The light was so intense that everything inside the room was shrouded in a blinding halo.
The study was extremely quiet.
Each of the four was lost in their own thoughts, and for a moment no one spoke.
—Light is born from darkness.
Minister Bai paused slightly, seemingly finally understanding the true meaning of those words.
He always believed that his ancestors recorded these words to encourage future generations to look towards the light and not give up hope.
I see.
The base chief held the diary as if it were a precious treasure.
The untouched Biluochun tea on the coffee table had gone completely cold, the tea leaves sinking to the bottom like tiny corpses.
He seemed to have no idea that the matter of the 'Dark Guide' would lead Yun Zhao to come forward and confess.
The base chief sighed, carefully put the diary back into the box, and awkwardly bent down to open the bottom cabinet.
Inside was a safe.
The base manager entered the password, opened the cabinet, and took out a stack of sealed document bags.
As he opened the bag, he said, "When Minister Han sent the message back that day, we were wondering if the Dark Guide, being a special guide, might be related to this matter."
Yun Zhao did not understand the meaning of these words.
It wasn't until the base chief handed her the contents of the file bag that she understood.
The handwriting on it has been rubbed and laminated, and is well preserved.
Yun Zhao recognized Shen Ying's handwriting almost immediately.
The tone between the lines, compared to the carefree attitude in the diary, clearly shows that Shen Ying's state of mind has changed.
By the time you read this notebook, I may already be long gone. I must be frank: I am not the savior you believe me to be. The darkness of the end times far surpasses imagination; countless times, I have struggled in despair, trying to find a glimmer of hope.
During my exploration, I heard of a guide with special attributes who could bring true light to this dark world.
My companions and I searched everywhere for its whereabouts, but to no avail.
Faced with the ever-encroaching darkness, we decided to fight to the death. Even if hope is slim, we must buy more time and opportunities for future generations. We are not afraid of death; we only wish that our sacrifice will bring hope to humanity.
The dark apocalypse is like a surging tide, repeatedly pushing us towards the abyss.
But please believe that light will eventually dispel darkness, and as long as you don't give up, there is still hope for the future.
From now on, do not waste your energy searching for our whereabouts. Defending the base is to safeguard the flame of humanity's survival.
The handwriting is elegant and powerful, but there is a slight tremor at the turns, as if the writer is enduring some kind of intense pain.
Spanning a long period of time, it comes rushing towards us with the determination of Shen Ying and his comrades to die.
Yun Zhao's hands trembled slightly.
—I am not the savior after all.
Upon realizing that she couldn't save the world, Shen Ying must have felt despair.
Minister Bai put his glasses back on, sighed, and realized that the exposure of the Dark Guide wasn't such a bad thing after all.
But just like countless times before, I've struggled with this dilemma.
The person has been found.
Then what?
What should they do to find the source of the disaster and end this world?
...
On the other side.
Team Zero has received news that the captain and Yun Zhao have returned.
The group rushed over and happened to run into Jiang Mu and his group in the inner city.
Everyone welcomed Jiang Mu and his group's visit to their base and went up to greet them.
"Where are the captain and Yun Zhaoren?" Tao Haohao looked around but didn't see them.
Zhou Tianqi poked his head out of the car and pointed in the direction of the villa area, "I'm going to find your base leader."
"Let's go take a look first, we'll have a get-together tomorrow!" Wang Jiayu called to her companions to follow.
We're all so familiar with each other, there's no need to be overly polite.
They were tired from their journey and thought that Sister Yunzhao needed to rest, so they decided to postpone the dinner until tomorrow.
Anyway, for the team members, they eat together all day long and have meals together all the time.
"Okay, see you tomorrow!"
Zhou Tianqi didn't mind. He drove to the accommodation that had been arranged last time, feeling more comfortable than at his own base.
The four of them headed towards the villa area.
Along the way, Duan Xi was a little uneasy, "Wouldn't the captain check the training as soon as he gets back?"
Taking advantage of the captain's absence and Minister Duan's busy schedule, the four of them hadn't been paying much attention to training lately, and now they were afraid that the captain would find out.
Song Liang said calmly, "It's hard to say. Anyway, if the captain asks, I will repeat the truth."
"Old Song! How could you do this?!" Tao Haohao protested.
Wang Jiayu: "Exactly!"
Song Liang rolled his eyes at the three of them: "Even Qi Ling knows to get up early every day for target practice, while you three only come when the sun is high in the sky."
Duan Xi couldn't help but retort, "That's because he still owes the captain money and wants to pay off his debts as soon as possible. How can that be the same?"
The gatekeeper was not killed in two consecutive contaminated zones.
The only valuable items were the dozens of robots brought out from No. 320. The mission points were minimal, not even enough for Qi Ling's daily meals.
"You're not allowed to tell on me, okay? I'll treat you to dinner if necessary."
Duan Xi patted Song Liang on the shoulder, "Or shall we go to the shopping mall later and buy some more things for your niece?"
When Song Liang heard him mention his niece, his expression softened slightly, but he said, "It depends on how you behave."
The four walked outside the villa area.
Duan Xi pointed to the gate not far away, "The captain and the others must be talking about something. Would you like to come to my house for a while?"
Wang Jiayu suddenly realized.
Duan Xi spent all his time hanging out with them, living in the sentry's assigned house, and almost forgot that his home was also in the villa area.
“Sure, anyway, Minister Duan is definitely not home right now,” Tao Haohao replied casually.
A group of people walked in, laughing and joking.
Before even reaching the Duan family's gate, two familiar figures glimpsed as they emerged.
Wang Jiayu perked up and waved frantically, "Sister Yun Zhao! Captain! We're here!"
Several people jogged over.
When Yun Zhao saw this, she greeted her teammates one by one. She was in low spirits, and everyone thought she was just tired.
Song Liang was quite understanding. "Why don't you go back and rest first?"
Anyway, now that he's back, I can see him every day.
Yun Zhao shook his head. "We still need to go to the Operations Department to report back to Minister Duan."
