Chapter 536 Serval
Yun Zhao didn't expect to get an answer so easily.
Fearing she might have mistaken him for someone else, she sent another message to confirm, "What is his spiritual form?"
Jiang Mu: "Serval."
Is it a cat too?
That could very well be a good match for Bai Yu.
Yun Zhao was lost in thought and didn't even notice that Minister Duan and Xie Tu had finished their conversation.
Xie Tu walked towards her, held out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, "What are you thinking about?"
Yun Zhao casually replied, "It's nothing."
She had promised Bai Yu she wouldn't tell anyone; it was someone else's private matter, and nothing was certain yet, so it wasn't appropriate to say more to him.
Xie Tu didn't ask any further questions.
As he sat down, he glanced at the chat box name on the communicator's screen out of the corner of his eye.
Jiang Mu?
"Has Minister Duan left?" Yun Zhao looked up.
There was no one in the office but the two of them.
Xie Tu naturally lifted her wrist and turned off her communicator. "Okay, I need to take care of something."
Yun Zhao: "About the two guides?"
She had just told Minister Duan that she wanted to help the guide improve his mental strength.
"Six teams are not at the base. All twelve teams will compete fairly. We'll have to wait until everyone receives the message."
Xie Tu pondered for a moment and said, "Moreover, we need to discuss the competition method with the guide."
Yuan Lan is alright. She's been at the base for so many years and knows many of the sentries, so she can probably join any team.
The other guide, however, had only recently joined the base.
The guide's own wishes are important, since the final result depends on the compatibility.
In short, it's not so easy for the guide to enter the contaminated area.
Yun Zhao had a lot on her mind, and upon hearing this, she pulled Xie Tu, who had just sat down, to stand up. "Let's go back early. I need to go back and review the data and make the training schedule."
Xie Tu's eyes flickered upon hearing this: "Back where?"
Without hesitation, Yun Zhao said, "Let's go back to my home."
Song Liang drove her into the city that afternoon, and also took He Xiang and Cheng Dongqing home.
Although the two foolish boys knew the truth, they probably wouldn't dare to tell the old town mayor.
She needs to go back and check.
Xie Tu readily agreed, took her hand in return, and walked out of the office.
It's almost time to leave work, and the corridor is bustling with people.
The staff members bumped into the two of them coming out hand in hand, and their expressions varied as they all greeted them.
"Thank you, Team Leader Xie, Cloud Guide..."
Yun Zhao smiled at the staff member and gently scratched his palm, signaling him to let go.
"I'm off work." Xie Tu nodded in response, gripping the hand even tighter.
For couples who have officially become lovers, holding hands is all they do.
He's not someone who's ashamed to be seen.
Yun Zhao couldn't break free and let him lead her into the elevator in front of everyone.
He sweats a lot, and in the summer his whole body is like a furnace.
Yun Zhao's fingertips were damp with the thin sweat from his palms, and the warm touch climbed up his skin as if he were wrapped in a soft, damp cloud.
She scratched him lightly a couple more times, but he gripped her hand even tighter. Fine beads of sweat mingled between their knuckles, making the skin on her wrist itch slightly.
The elevator arrived at the first floor and the doors opened.
The gazes cast down the corridor made one's ears burn.
Xie Tu's taut arm muscles, conveying warmth through his shirt, made his struggling movements seem like a reluctant acceptance.
Yun Zhao looked up and stared at his reddened earlobe. Suddenly, she felt that the sticky heat was not annoying at all. Instead, it was like the chirping of cicadas on a hot summer afternoon, making her heart feel hot.
Until I got on the bus.
Xie Tu finally let go of her, took a piece of paper from his bag and put it in her palm, a smile on his lips, "Wipe your sweat."
Yun Zhao didn't bother arguing with him, took a tissue and wiped the sweat from his palms, "What did you talk about with Minister Duan today?"
It was very late when she arrived.
After leaving the contaminated area, Xie Tu went to the inner city and stayed there for almost the entire day.
Xie Tu started the car. "We talked about the contaminated zone on the 24th, and then had an internal meeting about the increase in dark matter. When you came over, they were discussing Xia Mingang's training arrangements."
"Training schedule?"
Yun Zhao held the scrap paper in her hand, recalling the gossip Bai Yu had just mentioned to her, "What he needs isn't training, but a brain check."
As an S-class character, their strength is not bad.
But with his temperament, if he leads a team into a contaminated area, something could easily go wrong.
Without even figuring out the situation, instead of grabbing the key, he was too busy showing off and ended up killing all the mutants inside.
If Qi Ling hadn't discovered the gatekeeper...
It is estimated that in the end, the only option for them to get out is to level the entire contaminated area.
Xie Tu tapped his fingers lightly on the steering wheel. "So Minister Duan suggested that we take him on the next mission to help him accumulate practical experience."
Yun Zhao gazed at the street outside the window, paused slightly, and asked, "Take him with you???"
Xie Tu hummed in agreement. "But before that, we need to take a look at Bixi."
Yun Zhao had no objections; as long as Xia Mingang followed orders, he was quite useful as a henchman. "Have you chosen a mission for the next time?"
"not yet."
Xie Tu said, "After Fu Heng comes out, if the contaminated area collapses, we will test the contamination concentration again before making a decision."
The Fuheng squad entered the four-star contaminated zone a few days ago.
The research institute's findings are consistent with Yun Zhao's predictions.
The total amount of dark matter hasn't actually changed in the last two hundred years; it's just that most of it is concentrated in the polluted areas.
As the polluted area decreases, dark matter is released, leading to an increase in the concentration of pollution in the air.
A terrifying speculation.
This means that the more contaminated areas are eliminated, the more dark matter will be outside, and the world will fall into darkness again.
The operations department must reach a conclusion as soon as possible in order to deal with the upcoming crisis.
"With me here, will the dark apocalypse return?" Yun Zhao suddenly asked.
She was born with the ability to purify dark matter.
Xie Tu's fingers paused slightly on the steering wheel, and a brief silence fell over the car.
He glanced at Yun Zhao sideways, his voice low: "Your ability can indeed suppress dark matter, but..."
"But what?" Yun Zhao raised an eyebrow.
"But your purification range is limited."
Xie Tu stared straight ahead, his tone calm, "If the contaminated area collapses on a large scale and dark matter erupts instantly, even you will not be able to purify the entire world."
In particular, her mental well-being is incomplete.
Yun Zhao fell silent.
This mission for Fu Sheng's team is more like a test.
A four-star contaminated zone, containing unimaginable dark matter, was released into the outside world the moment it collapsed.
It went unnoticed at first simply because the contaminated areas were limited and the impact on the outside world was minimal, and no one ever thought of it from another angle.
The car quickly entered the outer city area and drove into the parking lot on East Third Street.
Yun Zhao suddenly remembered, "We forgot to buy groceries."
We were so engrossed in our conversation that we completely forgot about it.
Xie Tu paused for a moment, then said, "I'll go buy it now."
Yun Zhao shook her head. "Never mind, Aunt Zhao will probably buy it. Let's just grab something to eat tonight."
Xie Tu didn't care; he was easy to feed and would eat anything.
The two got out of the car and walked towards the apartment building, where they encountered townspeople carrying farm tools back home.
When Old Liu saw that the S-class sentry had arrived again, he smiled and raised his hand to greet him.
