Chapter 576 is out?
—So annoying!
Yun Zhao did not want to answer its voice.
The wreckage of the spacecraft is here; what Dad left behind has once again been swallowed up by Number Six.
The purpose of the badge is unclear; the villagers don't know whether they are looking at the crystal key or the badge.
Too many questions remain unanswered.
She didn't want to leave, but she had no choice.
It's all number six's fault!
"Get out of here! Stay away from me, or I'll force you to kill me now!"
Yun Zhao conveyed a message to it through the little bluebird.
The more agitated she became, the colder her expression grew, and the murderous intent emanating from her was almost impossible to conceal.
Jiang Mu keenly sensed that something was wrong with her and turned his head to look at her.
The little bluebird perched on her shoulder, appearing transparent, pacing back and forth, making sounds that humans couldn't understand, and looking extremely agitated.
In Jiang Mu's memory, Yun Zhao rarely showed strong emotions.
"Bang!"
The car door was suddenly pulled open.
Xie Tu and Xia Mingang stumbled in, carrying two wounded men.
The stench of blood instantly filled the entire carriage, mixed with the putrid odor of mutated plants.
"Close the door! Close the door now!"
Xia Mingang kicked the rear door of the armored vehicle, the metallic clang of which was so loud it hurt people's eardrums.
There was a noise overhead, and the remaining sentries had all climbed onto the roof of the vehicle.
"Hold on tight!" Fu Heng didn't waste any more time, stepped on the gas pedal, and drove straight toward the door with the white halo.
In an instant, the roar of armored vehicles drowned out the commotion outside.
The sentries on the roof clung tightly to the railings, their combat uniforms fluttering wildly in the wind.
Just as the front of the car touched the light screen.
The whole world suddenly fell silent.
The distorted roars, the crackling sounds of bursting plants, and the bubbling of churning gray fog in the contaminated area were all abruptly cut off.
It was as if someone had suddenly pressed the mute button, leaving only the faint sound of the armored vehicle's tires grinding against the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a blinding white light engulfed our vision.
Xia Mingang squinted instinctively and raised his hand to shield his eyes. Through his fingers, he saw the blinding sun.
The scorching heat baked the earth, and the sweltering heat swept over everything. The moment you saw the sun, you felt inexplicably at ease.
They successfully escaped from the bizarre and fantastical world.
Yun Zhao didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.
Xie Tu half-squatted in the carriage, quickly checking the wounded soldiers' injuries. His movements were clean and efficient, his knuckles stained with blood, yet his demeanor was frighteningly steady.
The armored vehicle roared as it sped across the rugged wasteland toward the temporary camp.
Inside the carriage, the smell of blood mingled with the sound of heavy breathing.
Jiang Mu opened the passenger window and leaned out to look back.
Behind them, a thick, almost tangible gray fog churned violently, obscuring the sky and the sun. The dense, almost solid chaos resembled a giant wall connecting heaven and earth, its interior constantly twisting and writhing.
Once it was confirmed that it was completely safe, everyone finally relaxed.
"An inauspicious start."
Jiang Mu pulled his body back out the window and leaned lazily back in his seat. "If people knew that all of humanity's S-class personnel had acted together, they still hadn't even eliminated a four-star contaminated zone..."
He said this, but there was no shame on his face; instead, there was a hint of mockery.
Fu Yu was driving when she heard this and turned to give him a sideways glance.
She was still bothered by this, and her tone was somewhat cold: "It was an accident. If I had two more hours, I would definitely have been able to find the gatekeeper."
The team, representing humanity's highest combat strength, thought they could easily eliminate the contaminated area before setting off, and even gave up on getting the key as soon as they entered.
Reality dealt her a heavy blow.
Indeed, no contaminated area should be taken lightly.
"It's a problem with Dawn Base, isn't it?"
Xia Mingang pulled out a small mirror from somewhere and started fixing his hair in front of it. "Number four is under the jurisdiction of your base, yet there was such a big blunder in the intelligence."
"What does this have to do with us?"
Jiang Mu shrugged: "Don't accuse people unjustly. All the contaminated areas are within the monitoring range. Number Six has been quiet for half a year. Who could have predicted that it would suddenly riot?"
Xia Mingang: "Since you're so close, why didn't you resolve this sooner?"
Jiang Mu leaned back lazily in his seat: "The way you ask that is like asking, 'Why don't they eat meat porridge?' You think the base doesn't want to solve the problem of insufficient combat troops?"
"Heh, do you think I don't know? You were just being lazy and didn't go back at all..." Xia Mingang now dislikes Jiang Mu very much.
In the critical moment, Jiang Mu actually withdrew his spiritual body and got into the car first.
When he and Xie Tu returned with the wounded, countless vines and mutated plants were attacking the vehicle.
The white-haired beast has vanished without a trace.
The water unicorn cried loudly beside it.
Only the Bixi diligently guarded the car, blocking all the attacks from the mutated plants.
While Xia Mingang was pleased with the power of the Bixi, he also felt a sense of dissatisfaction.
Although his spirit body was not very obedient, it was just a spirit body. What wrong had it done? Why should the Bixi bear all the blame?
Is it just because it's durable?
Isn't this bullying? No, it's bullying a spiritual being!
"If you were just a little more diligent, how could number 4 have stayed until now!"
"How diligent? The kind of diligence that accelerates the upheaval in the spiritual realm?"
Jiang Mu tilted his head and smiled innocently, "Remember, in this world, people who are too serious don't live long."
Xia Mingang said irritably, "I don't need you to teach me how to do things!"
The sentry on the roof listened to their argument, remaining silent and trying to minimize his presence.
To avoid the gods fighting and mortals suffering the consequences.
Xie Tu brought the first-aid kit.
Two people were injured. One had his shoulder cut by jagged leaves, the wound so deep that the bone was visible. The other had his right calf injured by thorny vines, bleeding profusely, and the bleeding needed to be stopped as soon as possible.
The sentry thanked him, took the box, and, despite the pain, began to treat his wound.
At the other end of the carriage, Xia Mingang and Jiang Mu had moved from the contaminated area to their personal conduct. Neither of them dared to breathe loudly. While treating their wounds, they couldn't help but look at Yun Zhao, who was sitting quietly at the other end of the seat.
As the team leader, why doesn't she say anything and do something about it?
Yun Zhao seemed oblivious to what was happening inside the car.
She opened the observation window, turned sideways to the crowd, and stared blankly at the receding gray fog outside.
The little bluebird, which had finally calmed down on her shoulder, noticed the annoying gaze and suddenly turned its head, startling the sentries who quickly lowered their heads and pretended nothing had happened.
"Go back to the other side if you want to argue!"
Fu Yan stopped the commotion inside the car, her voice colder than the car's air conditioning: "Since we've all come out alive, let's discuss what we've gained in the contaminated area."
Xia Mingang looked shocked. "The gatekeeper wasn't found, and Zone 4 was absorbed by Zone 6. There's still something to gain?"
"have."
Xie Tu wiped the blood off his body before sitting down next to Yun Zhao. While rummaging through the food in the box, he said, "Although this mission was a complete failure, it also allowed us to witness the devouring characteristics of Number Six."
"Those strange mutated plants can serve as a breakthrough in the investigation, allowing us to get a full picture of what's inside Number Six."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yu glanced at Xie Tu through the rearview mirror.
That's not what she meant.
It was something from the cellar.
If Yun Zhao's father came from an extraterrestrial civilization, this would definitely cause a huge shock to the base.
There really are other civilizations in the universe.
Based on the few clues that have been revealed, their technological level is far superior to that of Earth.
They might even know the origins of the disasters on Earth.
Since that person is Yun Zhao's father, and Yun Zhao is on the side of humanity, could we contact extraterrestrial civilizations through her and use their power to completely eliminate the contaminated area and the mutants?
This is the key point that Fu Qi wanted to discuss.
However, Yun Zhao's condition was clearly not quite right at the moment, so Fu Mo shut up in time, giving her some time to process the situation.
