Chapter 512 Two-Star Contaminated Zone
We cannot let the efforts of the past twenty years go to waste.
If it really is a cycle, we must find a way to break it.
Yun Zhao looked up and exchanged a glance with Xie Tu.
They understood each other implicitly.
The two of them knew perfectly well how to break the cycle.
If it really comes to that, we'll need to eliminate the source, eliminate that "He," and perhaps only then can we save the world.
The Guide of Light knows the source, which can only be at number six.
Yun Zhao did not ask Xie Tu about the results of his examination.
She had witnessed the spread speed of No. 6 long ago; it was faster than No. 344, and its spread range was incredibly vast each time.
She's still lacking in the spiritual realm and wouldn't be a match for "His." If we were to talk about the past now, Xie Tu would definitely disagree.
Yun Zhao was preoccupied with his own thoughts and didn't notice the car heading out of the city.
She didn't realize it until she reached the testing station.
"Going to your place again tonight?"
Xie Tu drove ahead, keeping his eyes on the road: "Qi Shiqi hasn't come out yet. Let's go back and check on Qi Ling."
Yun Zhao was speechless: "Are you making excuses again?"
Xie Tu gripped the steering wheel with one hand and reached out with the other to take her hand. "Okay, next time I won't make excuses, I'll just say it directly."
Yun Zhao actually wanted to go home.
The town's search team had a communicator and must have seen the news on the forum, but when she thought of Qi Ling, she finally agreed.
“They’ve been inside for a day and a night. Can’t Xia Ming’ang send Qi Shiqi out first?”
It's just a two-star contaminated area.
The key isn't hard to get; it should only take a few hours to figure out how to get it out.
Qi Shiqi is an ordinary person, and he can't withstand the erosion. Qi Ling will definitely be worried.
After all, he was his only family in the world.
Xie Tu calmly said, "If Xia Mingang were that reliable, I hope the base wouldn't have sent him here."
Yun Zhao: "..."
Hearing Xie Tu say that, not only Qi Ling, but even she began to worry.
Qi Shiqi may not be related to blood, but he has made great contributions to human society. Yun Zhao certainly doesn't want anything to happen to him.
Xie Tu naturally saw through it and reassured him, "Don't worry, the Hope Base's convoy is guarding outside the contaminated area. If things get bad, they will go in to rescue you."
Yun Zhao nodded.
The car arrived at the training ground quickly.
The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sandy training ground orange-red, and the familiar training equipment, the horizontal bar and parallel bars, cast long shadows in the afterglow of the setting sun.
There was no one outside, and the lights in the training room were off and the door was locked.
The sentries who had completed their day's training had gone back to rest, but the door to the metal hut across the street was open.
The dim light cast shadows, and the silhouette of a robot standing at the door was faintly visible.
Qi Ling was somewhat absent-minded and didn't react to the sound of cars outside.
Until the footsteps drew closer.
He then realized that the captain had returned.
"What are you doing?" Yun Zhao asked, standing at his door.
Qi Ling quickly stood up. "It's nothing, come in and sit down."
The furniture and furnishings in the metal hut remained largely unchanged, but many more household items had been added.
On the metal table sat a water glass and a communication device that had just been received that day.
Yun Zhao entered the room and sat down opposite Qi Ling, asking directly, "Are you worried about Professor Qi?"
Qi Ling hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "He's quite old and just an ordinary person. I'm really worried about him."
There was an inexplicable air of superiority about him in his tone.
Yun Zhao felt awkward listening to this, and Qi Ling also felt somewhat embarrassed after saying those words.
Even though people don't recognize him, he still tries to win them over.
Yun Zhao didn't want to repeat the comforting words his teammates had said countless times.
She thought for a moment, "You should rest well tonight. If you haven't come out by tomorrow morning, let's go check on you."
It's not far anyway, just a few hours' drive away.
Qi Ling's eyes widened, and she subconsciously looked at Xie Tu outside the door. "Really? Won't it interfere with training?"
Xie Tu did not come in.
The living room of the cabin is not large, and the robot takes up a third of the area.
"If you're really worried, go see a doctor. It's no big deal to waste a morning."
Upon hearing what the captain said, Qi Ling's tense nerves relaxed a little, and she nodded hurriedly, "Okay! I'll definitely get a good rest tonight!"
The two did not stay there for long.
After explaining everything, he left the metal hut.
It was already dark outside, and there were no streetlights on the mountain; it was pitch black underfoot.
Xie Tu led her towards home.
He reasonably suspected that his girlfriend deliberately suggested taking Qi Ling over to see him in order to avoid training.
Since returning, she has always been busy with something.
I haven't taken a physical training class until now.
“The contaminated zone on the 24th isn’t far. Should we walk there tomorrow?” Xie Tu asked casually.
Yun Zhao replied without hesitation: "No way!"
Xie Tu compromised: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Indeed, if they needed to go in and take a look, they would have to bring food and ammunition, which she couldn't carry.
Xie Tu quickly came up with an excuse for her and pushed open the courtyard gate.
There are two spirit beings in the house.
The little bluebird got impatient and went into the city to read, so it spent the afternoon playing with the spirit creatures in the training field.
After the other companions left, it flew to Xie Tu's house and sat on the wooden frame to rest.
The little bluebird sensed the arrival of the main body, flapped its wings to greet it, and immediately flew into Yun Zhao's arms.
"I thought you'd forgotten me." Yun Zhao, holding the little bluebird, kicked off his shoes and sat down on the sofa.
"Is it fun?"
The little bluebird raised its head: [Fun! The White Dawn Beast is fun!]
They played together again in the afternoon.
The little bluebird took the white-haired beast to play on the neighboring mountain. That big guy crushed a large area of forest, and the logistics department chased after Jiang Mu to demand compensation.
Trees from the wasteland era are precious.
Many of them were artificially cultivated in the last twenty years.
Yun Zhao poked it: "Stop teasing the white beast all the time, it just wants to play with you guys."
But deep down, she thought, "No wonder Jiang Mu is still all alone."
Given the destructive power of the White Xi Beast and the need for frequent intervention, it costs more money than raising a real child.
The little bluebird sensed her thoughts and proudly raised its head. It was the most powerful; it didn't need its main body to spend money, and it could even earn money to support its main body.
[Next time, I'll visit its spiritual realm.]
Fire Phoenix nodded beside her like a chick pecking at rice.
Yun Zhao: "Then Jiang Mu will be the one to suffer."
Xie Tu didn't follow him in; instead, he turned and went to the kitchen.
He came home too late today, so he only cooked two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, and called her over to eat very soon after.
After the meal, the two went upstairs to rest.
I slept without any dreams.
...
The next morning.
Almost at dawn, Qi Ling got up early, picked up his communicator, and began searching for information on the forum.
There was no news about contaminated zone number 24.
I wonder if the person has come out yet.
Qi Ling did not have permission to log in to the internal system. After hesitating for a long time, she called Xiao Zhang to ask for Qi Shiqi's contact number.
The number cannot be reached when dialed.
Qi Ling panicked immediately.
Today is the third day. It's a level two contaminated zone. Why haven't the people come out yet?
He was getting restless, but he didn't want to urge the captain and Yun Zhao, so he paced around the room anxiously.
