Chapter 581, Contaminated Zone 6 (Part 5)
The three of them went to Fuqi's tent first.
Her tent was diagonally opposite, next to Yun Zhao's to the left.
They were talking outside for a long time, but there was no sound from inside.
Yun Zhao stepped forward and called out, but there was no response. She then reached out and lifted the tent flap.
——Empty.
The sleeping bags were neatly folded, and nothing had been touched.
Yun Zhao frowned and turned to ask them, "Has Fu Qi come back?"
With their hearing, they should be able to hear the noise.
Jiang Mu: "No."
Xia Mingang: "It seems not, didn't she go out after getting out of the car?"
The mission was over, and since everyone wasn't that close, Fu Mo's whereabouts were her private matter, and no one thought to ask.
Yun Zhao thought for a moment, then tapped on his communicator and dialed Fu Heng's number.
A moment later, the call connected, but no one answered.
The combat team members wore their communication devices on their wrists 24 hours a day, so it was impossible for Fu Heng not to hear them.
Yun Zhao waited two more seconds, then hung up the phone expressionlessly.
Her intuition was right.
Two possibilities.
Number Six has already followed her out, or they are still in the contaminated area.
The former is shocking; once the gatekeepers manage to leave the contaminated area, it will inevitably bring a new wave of disaster.
In the latter case, Number Six deliberately created an illusion, making everyone believe that they had walked through the door and out of the contaminated area.
But what is its purpose in doing this?
Yun Zhao turned his head and met the gazes of the two people behind him.
She wanted to discuss it with her teammates, but she was afraid that number six would overhear everything.
Jiang Mu's expression was solemn. He glanced at Xia Mingang and said, "Go get your backpack. Let's go check out the medical tents."
Even if Xia Mingang was slow to notice, he sensed something strange about the camp and ran to his tent without saying a word.
The temporary camp here is not large.
Considering the nature of sentries, the medical tents are located in a quiet, secluded spot at the far end, making it convenient for the wounded to recuperate.
Yun Zhao and Jiang Mu waited for a moment, and Xia Mingang soon came out with his backpack.
"Let's go."
The three bypassed the rest area and quickened their pace toward the medical tent.
Wherever Xie Tu and Fu Heng are, as S-class Sentinels, they at least have the ability to protect themselves.
However, once the fourteen sentries believe they have left the contaminated area and lower their guard, they may not be able to detect the anomaly in time.
Jiang Mu walked at the front, his back straight as a knife, yet extremely tense, ready to fight at any moment.
Yun Zhao followed behind him, while Xia Mingang covered the rear.
As they walked along, the once sparse patrols were nowhere to be seen, and the entire temporary camp was eerily quiet.
The empty tent swayed slightly in the heat, and the hot wind swirled sand, brushing against the metal frames of the empty campsite with a soft, almost chuckle-like sound.
It's like an open mouth, waiting for its prey to walk in.
Yun Zhao looked up at the sky several times.
I can't see anything, but the gaze fixed on me never leaves.
It's still watching her.
Ah, the unpleasant smell on him is gone!
The little bluebird perched on her shoulder, tilting its head as it stared at Xia Mingang, who was walking at the back, a hint of doubt flashing in its eyes.
[It's gotten even more annoying!]
Yun Zhao realized something, his body suddenly stiffened, but he quickly continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.
When did this happen?
Xia Mingang went back to get his backpack, and they were separated for less than two minutes. If it was a mutant in disguise, Jiang Mu should have noticed.
Should we remind Jiang Mu?
etc.
When did Jiang Mu appear?
His appearance interrupted her plan to launch an attack on the sky.
Yun Zhao tensed up, keeping his head down to avoid looking at the two of them, and silently asked the little bluebird: "What do you think of Jiang Mu?"
The little bluebird slowly moved its body, turning its head to look at the tall, straight figure in front of it.
Ugh, that annoying sentry again.
Yun Zhao felt somewhat relieved, at least he didn't have to face attacks from both sides.
But what is this thing?
Why couldn't she and Jiang Mu notice anything?
Yun Zhao then thought of the "people" in the camp. On the surface, they looked no different from ordinary people, and each one was extremely vivid. They not only fooled her, but also all the S-level sentinels.
"Xia Mingang".
"what?"
Yun Zhao didn't turn around: "I don't think I've asked about Bi Xi's current situation since we came out. Does he need some counseling?"
"Why did you have to choose this time?"
The voice behind him was nonchalant, "Even though you're the captain, can't you at least consider the timing?"
Yun Zhao pursed his lips. "What's wrong with the timing? I happen to have time now, but I might not have time later."
"Huh? Let's find Fu Yu and Xie Tu first." The voice behind him was as usual.
Jiang Mu paused for a moment, then suddenly drew two swords from the sides of his backpack and launched an attack on Xia Mingang behind him.
Yun Zhao was prepared. The moment he drew his sword, he jogged away from the attack range and hid behind a tent.
"Holy crap! Jiang Mu, have you taken the wrong medicine?"
Xia Mingang leaned back abruptly, his military boots scraping two marks on the sand, barely avoiding the blade.
His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, and his movements, expressions, and even the twitching of his lips were exactly the same as usual.
"Are you fucking crazy?!"
Xia Mingang pointed at Jiang Mu and cursed, "Are you crazy? Why did you suddenly try to cut me?"
Jiang Mu did not retract his blade strike; he countered with another diagonal slash, but this time he clearly held back some of his strength.
Because they look so alike.
He felt nothing unusual.
Jiang Mu turned his head to look at Yun Zhao, who was hiding behind the tent.
Yun Zhao nodded to him, his fingertips twitched slightly, and countless cyan-green fluorescent lights suddenly surged. Without any movement, his spiritual threads rushed over like invisible blades.
Xia Mingang, still furious, changed his expression drastically upon seeing her spiritual thread, and turned to run away in a panic.
Seeing this, Jiang Mu no longer held back his strength, raised his knife and threw it, hitting him squarely in the back.
What happened next was terrifying.
From the wound where Xia Mingang was stabbed, wriggling black vines were visible. His combat suit was torn, and countless black mutated vines emerged from his back, each with a cross-shaped mouthpart at its tip, hissing loudly.
Jiang Mu's figure flashed forward like a ghost, cleaving through the vines with a single blade and pulling out the blade from Xia Mingang's back.
The mutant roared, and slime gushed out instantly, sizzling and corroding as it hit the ground, sounding like countless people screaming in agony at the same time.
Dozens of vines danced wildly in the air like tentacles, heading straight for Jiang Mu.
Jiang Mu retrieved his sword, and while retreating to dodge, he swung his two swords in a crisscross motion, severing the vines in front of him.
At the same time, the bluish-green fluorescence was already upon them.
The mental threads brutally tore through the mutant's defenses and invaded its mental core.
As a guide, she can sense the emotions transmitted through the spiritual threads.
But this time was different. In the depths of its chaotic consciousness, Yun Zhao saw that huge, blood-red eye again.
Yun Zhao groaned, feeling a throbbing headache and his vision gradually darkening.
But this time he did not fall into a coma.
She sensed its consciousness once again.
I want to see how you're living now.
You've changed a lot. Why do you want to stay with those inferior people?
