Chapter 501 Common Traces
Minister Duan didn't think much of it.
She was busy all day and didn't have time to keep track of her teammates' movements.
These small meetings are usually attended by the team leader and logistics personnel, unless there are problems with the report or major errors in the operation, in which case the entire team is required to attend.
Minister Duan placed the documents on the table and notified the intelligence team, the calculation team, and relevant researchers to come up for a meeting.
Xie Tu sat alone at the conference table. "The report was just sent to your account."
Minister Duan nodded, and before everyone had arrived, he turned around and went to the computer to check the documents.
The report is very detailed.
Every decision-making action, from entering the contaminated area to leaving, was recorded, except for the matter of concealing Xiao Yunzhao.
Minister Duan skimmed through the text, reading ten lines at a glance.
She picked up her teacup and calmly said, "We probably all underestimated the abilities of S-class guides."
It's hard to believe that Team Zero managed to escape unscathed from several five-star contaminated zones.
Moreover, in the almost impossible task of contaminated zone 344, he led thousands of people to survive and eliminated the contaminated zone.
Xie Tu lowered his eyes slightly and leaned back in his chair, without replying.
There are some things I've wanted to say for a while.
Minister Duan continued, "The last two missions showed that her mental strength is too powerful, even exceeding our understanding of guide abilities."
Xie Tu's fingertips paused slightly on the table, but his expression remained calm: "Her mental strength is indeed special, but it is still within a controllable range."
Minister Duan looked at him sharply, “Especially this time, the pollution concentration in pollution zone 344 was close to the ‘critical threshold,’ and she alone stabilized the entire area—is that what you call controllable?”
Xie Tu paused for a moment, then slowly said, "She knows her limits."
Minister Duan was speechless at his mindless defense of him.
“Yun Zhao is from the Operations Department, so of course I trust her.”
Minister Duan softened his tone, "But the Dark Guide's affair was revealed at this time. As the only S-class guide, she was too dazzling, and countless eyes were watching her from behind."
The minister's words had a hidden meaning.
Xie Tu remained expressionless and changed the subject, "When will that Bixi arrive?"
Minister Duan glared at him and replied, "He has a name, Xia Ming'ang. Don't keep calling him 'Bixi,' it's easy to offend people."
Xie Tu hummed in agreement. "The grandson of Xia, the base commander of Hope Base?"
Minister Duan: "That's right, they should arrive in the next day or two. Just keep that in mind."
At that moment, there was a gentle knock on the conference room door, and people began to walk in.
Minister Duan and Xie Tu immediately stopped talking.
A small meeting about contaminated zone 344 soon began.
...
After finishing the meeting, Xie Tu went to the logistics department.
Inspect their armored vehicles and the robots they brought out from contaminated zone 320.
He didn't stay there for long. After checking the progress, he went to the shopping mall to buy groceries and then drove back to the training ground.
The team members and Jiang Mu's team have arrived.
A group of people surrounded Qi Ling's robot, chattering away.
"A combat robot? Can we bring it into the contaminated area?"
"It's rechargeable, right? Look at the back, such a big battery. What if there's nowhere to charge it when you bring it in? Are you going to carry it around like that?"
"Don't you have a vehicle? Put it on the roof, or send it to your base's logistics department for modification."
Duan Xi perked up immediately, "Could we change it to be controlled via a mental link? Like the mechs in the movies?"
Wang Jiayu slapped him across the face. "Is this your robot or Qi Ling's? How can Qi Ling use it if it's changed to a mental link?"
"A gentleman uses words, not fists. Wang Jiayu, are you asking for a beating?"
"Come on, there's definitely going to be a practice match today anyway..."
Tao Haohao turned his head and saw the car driving up the mountain. He shouted in a loud voice, "The captain is here!"
The group quickly dispersed and ran to area number 1 to warm up.
Jiang Mu moved a chair and sat under the eaves, looking like he hadn't woken up yet, and lazily glanced at the person who got out of the car carrying a bunch of groceries.
Xie Tu walked over and glanced at the team members who were warming up with their backs to him on the training field.
He said to Jiang Mu, "I won't charge you for the venue. Just keep an eye on these lazy guys. They'll be fined 500 points for every time they slack off, and we'll split the points 50/50."
Jiang Mu neither confirmed nor denied it.
Duan Xi: "..."
Tao Haohao: "..."
Wang Jiayu: "..."
And Qi Ling and Song Liang, who suffered an undeserved misfortune.
That's outrageous!
Even though the captain is so rich, he still doesn't let go of the points in their cards!
Taking advantage of the situation, Orange and her friends caused trouble, "Captain Xie! I'll snitch, they... um..."
Before he could finish speaking, Tao Haohao rushed over and covered his mouth.
Qi Ling silently controlled the robot to walk to the door of the metal hut and quickly went to the next field to run.
Jiang Mu looked at his team members with a half-smile, "I must say, this is a good method. We should treat everyone equally."
Zhou Tianqi and the others already sensed that something was wrong.
Sure enough, Jiang Mu continued, "You're the same. If you dare to slack off, you'll be fined five hundred each time. Try to fine enough to cover the cost of counseling your child next time."
The sentries: "!!!"
Now everyone was equally matched, and they hurriedly ran into the training field.
Xie Tu did not participate in their farce.
He went into the training room, printed out the training plan he had made the night before, handed it to Song Liang, and then took the ingredients back to his home in the valley.
...
Xie Tu entered the house.
Two phoenixes had somehow run downstairs and were playing tricks on each other on the first floor.
The little bluebird saw the man and gave him a cold, arrogant glance, its eyes clearly cursing him.
“I told you last time, what she had wasn’t an injury.”
Xie Tu bent down to change his shoes and calmly explained, "Those are very common marks. They'll appear often in the future. You'll have to get used to it."
The little bluebird couldn't understand, nor could it comprehend.
That doesn't stop it from swearing and cursing.
Xie Tu forbade Huo Feng from translating, went to the kitchen to rinse the rice and put it in the rice cooker, and then quietly went upstairs to take a look.
Yun Zhao was still asleep and didn't even know that he had gone out.
She looked adorably innocent as she slept; she must have been really exhausted last night.
His gaze was lowered, and there was a deep, infatuated look in his eyes.
Xie Tu sat on the edge of the bed and watched her sleeping face for a while before finally getting up, closing the door behind him, and going to the study.
Last night I glimpsed an extra part of her spiritual realm.
That circus didn't seem to be from the old era.
In the old days, technology was very advanced, animal protection laws were well-established, and circuses had long since abandoned animal performances, evolving into theatrical performances of acrobatics, drama, dance, clowns, and other forms of entertainment.
The tents in her scenes resemble an earlier, more popular style.
Xie Tu was looking up relevant information in his study.
According to the information.
The circus originated in the gladiatorial arena of ancient Rome, gradually evolving from an arena until its decline.
Xie Tu couldn't find the colorful tents and buildings that she imagined in her spiritual realm, no matter how many documents he searched.
Perhaps it's because the information is incomplete.
Much of the information circulated into the wasteland era in written form, while images were scarce and their origins could not be definitively determined.
Or perhaps...
Xie Tu lowered his eyes in deep thought.
Could Yun Jue building a circus in her living area be a hint?
