Chapter 529 Suspicion
That was a sign of the contaminated area collapsing.
After confirming that the gatekeeper was a game called "Remains 2242", Yun Zhao and the others spent six hours finally finding it at the so-called broadcasting station.
The sentries who came in before had searched this place several times.
As the intelligence report stated, the gatekeepers were indeed not broadcasting. They ignored the other items in the room.
"Is the city a game map, and are the advertisements using volunteers and high-quality customers to replace players and NPCs?"
Xia Mingang couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder the other sentries couldn't find them; I wouldn't have thought of this either."
Those neon signs are too deceptive.
Those who entered, like Qi Shiqi, focused almost entirely on the strange text above.
Yun Zhao nodded, "It doesn't generate resources. It's possible that the first batch of resources was looted by the sentinels. After looting, the sentinels left, unlike the players who stay here and play the survival game according to its programmed rules."
It was too weak, and its obsession could not be satisfied, which instead gave rise to resentment.
Qi Shiqi still harbored resentment about the matter of the shadow.
I can't figure out what a shadow does.
"There's nothing here except dark matter."
Xie Tu explained: "The shadows should also be formed from dark matter, with the purpose of dragging outsiders into the darkness and trying to corrupt them so that they stay."
Only in this way can it make sense.
The intelligence report stated that only by hiding in the dark could one escape the shadow.
But everywhere you look there are neon signs; the so-called darkness is simply the place where dark matter is most concentrated.
The gatekeepers are luring those who come in into those areas.
But those who enter are all sentinels, who have a certain resistance to dark matter, and they carry guide hormones and inhibitors with them, and they also have keys in their hands.
Its power is insufficient to quickly erode the sentinels.
Qi Shiqi sighed, "These are just your guesses. Never mind, we've already found the gatekeeper, so let's not dwell on this anymore. I'll go back and organize the data again."
Yun Zhao didn't delay any longer. She slightly raised her hand, and countless cyan fluorescent lights surged into it.
No matter how the gatekeeper struggled, the spiritual threads bound it tightly, constantly devouring its power.
When Qi Shiqi witnessed the gatekeeper's demise for the first time, he was extremely excited and watched intently.
The entire city shook.
The gray sky was like a tattered cloth torn apart by an invisible giant hand, and the murky clouds began to disintegrate and dissipate.
As large swaths of gray clouds fell, revealing the outside world, a blinding golden light pierced the sky, and the scorching sunlight slanted down.
The entire city trembled violently, and the reinforced concrete buildings twisted and deformed like rotten wood in the wind, collapsing layer by layer.
Xia Mingang put his hands in his pockets and looked up, observing the changes around him.
So this is what the polluted area looked like before it disappeared.
＊
Those on the perimeter had already noticed the anomaly and came to provide backup.
Seeing that the five people had appeared unharmed, Guan Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh? No mutants?"
After the sentries discovered the collapse of the contaminated zone, they didn't even see a single monster.
Yun Zhao pointed at Xia Mingang, "You'll have to ask him."
Xia Mingang: "..."
"I will give the mission report to Commander Xia truthfully," Xie Tu said slowly.
Xia Mingang: "..."
Guan Hong smiled awkwardly.
As the captain of the base's guard team, he was responsible for escorting people to the Dawn Base and staying behind to supervise the training.
Unexpectedly, without paying attention, Young Master Xia caused trouble again, and the people from the Dawn Base had to come and clean up the mess.
Xie Tu saw Jiang Mu's car and looked at him questioningly, asking why he had followed them.
Jiang Mu pointed to the opposite hilltop, where a very conspicuous large head was crouching.
He had just received the data when the contaminated area collapsed.
"Luckily, the kids insisted on coming out to play, otherwise, if we had arrived a little later, we would have had to drive an extra hundred kilometers..."
Xie Tu frowned slightly. "The concentration is still rising?"
“It’s 31%. The base wants us to inspect the dark matter outside the contaminated area and send back a few samples for comparison,” Jiang Mu said.
Xie Tu nodded. "We'll talk about it when we get back."
He glanced at the white mythical beast on the opposite mountain out of the corner of his eye, and paused in his steps.
Beneath the white-headed beast, two motionless figures lay, looking extremely familiar...
Guan Hong and the others had already noticed and assumed he was questioning his identity, so they kindly said, "That man came by yesterday. He seems to be from the search team outside your base. He said his sister is missing and he's out looking for her..."
Too far away.
They were at the foot of the mountain, where the smog from the polluted area had not completely dissipated, making it difficult to see the view below.
He Xiang and Cheng Dongqing saw Xie Tu by the car, but they didn't see Yun Zhao behind him.
Xie Tu turned his head and gestured for Yun Zhao not to come over yet.
Yun Zhao was confused, but subconsciously did as Xia Mingang said and moved to the tent area.
The tents were set up in a shady spot with dense trees, in a blind spot.
Xie Tu looked up and waved to the two of them.
He Xiang and Cheng Dongqing saw this and realized they had been discovered again, so they ran away as fast as they could.
“It’s Brother Xie on a mission. Could it be that he spotted our car and, fearing it might be stolen, notified Sister Yun Zhao to have someone guard it?” Cheng Dongqing said.
This explains why Sister Yunzhao knew their car was parked at the foot of the mountain.
He Xiang still felt something was wrong. "Then why can't I get through to Sister Yun Zhao on the phone?"
How would I know?
The two walked quickly down the mountain.
The white beast continued to follow closely behind the two, still completely baffled as to what they were up to.
"Your original body is leaving, you should go back quickly."
Seeing that it was still following, He Xiang said to the white beast, "We have to go back too, you don't need to follow us anymore."
The white-haired beast stared at He Xiang and let out a "woof," trying to get him to let the sloth out to play.
It had never seen that spirit before, and it looked blank, wanting to play together.
But He Xiang couldn't understand it.
He muttered to himself, "Brother Xie won't tell Sister Yun Zhao, will he?"
The two of them did nothing productive all day; they just squatted on the hilltop all morning.
Cheng Dongqing put his arm around his shoulder and said, "It's okay. Just call him brother-in-law later, and we can talk things over."
They didn't work today, so they didn't drive out. When they reached the foot of the mountain, two armored vehicles had already left their original positions and were heading towards the base.
Jiang Mu: [My darling, you're coming back soon.]
Upon hearing the summons, the white-haired beast flapped its wings and flew off in pursuit.
...
Yun Zhao didn't know that He Xiang and Cheng Dongqing were there until she got into the car.
She paused for a moment, remembering that she hadn't replied to He Xiang's message before entering the contaminated area.
"We can't hide it for long. Why don't we go back and talk to them?" Xie Tu suggested.
Her identity is now public.
The town's search team has been at the base for a long time, and sooner or later they will find out about her through other means.
Rather than learning the truth from outsiders and causing everyone to worry, she'd rather tell the truth herself.
Yun Zhao nodded gently, "Let me think about it."
The roof of the car.
Qi Ling asked timidly, "Captain, how much is the reward for killing the gatekeeper this time?"
