Chapter 588, Contaminated Zone 6 (Part 12)
Armored vehicles sped across the Gobi Desert, their wheels grinding over the rough sand and gravel, raising a fleeting cloud of dust.
The vast wilderness stretches out without end.
The gray-yellow horizon and the leaden sky blurred and merged in the far distance, as if the world had been forgotten here, leaving only boundless silence and desolation.
"You're saying one of the goalkeepers is Shen Ying?" Jiang Mu's face showed undisguised shock.
Xia Mingang, driving an armored vehicle, interjected, "Who is Shen Ying?"
He felt the name sounded familiar, but couldn't quite place it.
Unfortunately, nobody paid any attention to him.
Yun Zhao nodded and explained her reasoning, "The scene Xia Mingang encountered was of her and Xing Nandie. If she hadn't become part of the contaminated area, her memories wouldn't have appeared here."
"Even if she becomes part of the contaminated area, it doesn't mean she can become a gatekeeper."
Jiang Mu digested the information for a while and quickly regained his composure, saying, "Guides have strong mental power. After being mutated into monsters, they retain some self-awareness to varying degrees, but that doesn't mean that a guide can necessarily become a gatekeeper."
Just like the group of guides they had encountered in Contaminated Zone 235.
A group of powerful people were completely suppressed by the little boy who guarded the gate, and in the end, the entire base became the little boy's domain.
“Other guides might not be able to do it, but Shen Ying definitely can,” Yun Zhao said confidently.
—Because Shen Ying is the Dark Guide.
Jiang Mu understood almost immediately; the diary clearly recorded "spiritual traction," and he had already guessed the diary's owner's identity.
Things seem to be getting more and more complicated.
Red-crowned cranes, Yun Zhao's father, the wreckage of a spacecraft from outer space, and the twin towers that Xia Mingang mentioned were similar to the Dawn Base.
What is the connection between these two things?
Is the spiritual symbol of Dawn Base destined to perish?
Yun Zhao thought for a moment and continued, "After we leave here, I hope you can help keep this a secret."
Jiang Mu raised an eyebrow. "The conditions for going out?"
Yun Zhao: "I guess so."
Xia Mingang listened for a long time, but he was still completely confused.
The two girls talking in the dark scene, Yun Zhao and Jiang Mu, seem to know each other and have reached a confidentiality agreement in front of him.
I wanted to ask again, but I was afraid of making myself seem slow-witted.
So Xia Mingang asked, "Are you sure we can get out?"
Six gatekeepers.
Even if they guessed two, they are still trapped in the Gobi Desert and haven't found a single one.
Yun Zhao didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and replied, "Yes, I did it back then."
When the topic came up, the two fell silent again.
The guide captain of the 5S team has a mysterious background and unknown strength, and seems to have intricate connections with the sixth contaminated zone.
She acted completely nonchalant, making it seem as if they were making a fuss over nothing.
The armored vehicle continued to move forward.
This Gobi Desert seemed to have no end; looking up, all that could be seen was desolation, with only the occasional glimpse of dead tree trunks flashing past the car window.
Yun Zhao slowly closed his eyes.
Strands of bluish-green fluorescence, following her will, emerged from the car window, spreading along the route, searching for the barrier at the edge of the area.
The feeling of being watched never disappeared.
Is it still watching, watching how she and the sentries find it?
Yun Zhao was feeling a little sleepy.
From entering number four to being caught up in number six, two days have passed, and she has not rested during that time.
The two sentries beside me were both straight men; their group had never had a guide, probably never considering the physical condition of a guide...
If Xie Tu were here, that would be great.
He was probably holding a bunch of her favorite foods, urging her to rest.
Yun Zhao opened his eyes and said to the two of them, "I want to sleep for a while. I'll put my backpack in front of me and carry it on my back. You two hold onto the backpack straps and make sure you don't get lost."
Jiang Mu: "..."
The way she said it sounded like a parent taking two young children out, afraid they would get lost.
Xia Mingang was not involved; he was busy driving anyway.
Before they could answer, Yun Zhao bent down and pulled out the folding chair next to him to make a folding bed. Then he put his backpack on his chest, lay down on it, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
At first, she felt very uncomfortable being stared at.
But since discovering that it was Red Eyes who was behind it, she has developed a strange sense of calm.
Anyway, those eyes were in the shadows, neither rushing out to make a move nor doing anything fancy.
Sleeping is the most important thing right now.
The little bluebird stood on the backpack, its eyes fixed on Jiang Mu.
Under the watchful gaze of the little blue bird, Jiang Mu sighed and pulled on Yun Zhao's dangling backpack strap.
The carriage fell silent instantly.
Yun Zhao quickly fell asleep, but the fluorescent light spreading outside the car window did not disappear.
While the little bluebird glared menacingly at Jiang Mu, it flapped its wings, searching for the edge of the barrier for its main body.
I don't know how long it's been running.
"Strange, where did those vines go?" Xia Mingang's voice came from the driver's seat.
The further he drove, the more he felt something was wrong.
The armored vehicle sped along for 30 kilometers without encountering any danger.
There was very little dark matter along the way.
It's simply unbelievable.
Jiang Mu, clutching his backpack strap, leaned against the weapon rack, feigning sleep, and did not respond to the sound.
Clearly, the monster who had impersonated Xia Mingang was after him.
That eye didn't seem to harm Yun Zhao.
Because of her father?
Xia Mingang didn't hear anything. He supported himself on the steering wheel with one hand, pulled over the supply box behind the seat, and picked out a box of sandwich cookies, two packs of chocolates, and a bottle of mineral water.
Only then did he realize his mistake.
Everyone else hadn't rested for two days, so why did he volunteer to drive...?
Suddenly, the little bluebird moved.
Found it!
The spiritual thread touched the edge of the barrier.
But the main body had just fallen asleep, and the little guy thought for a second and decided to pretend nothing had happened.
The consciousness of Bixi resounded in Xia Mingang's mind.
"We're here, you idiot, stop the car."
Xia Mingang: "..."
The vehicle began to slow down and slowly came to a stop in the middle of the Gobi Desert.
The little bluebird flapped its wings and flew to the seat, standing there staring at Xia Mingang's back. It raised its head and questioned Bixi: "Did you tell him?"
The Bixi remained silent.
White-haired Beast: [Awoo!]
The little bluebird turned its head to look at Jiang Mu.
Jiang Mu reassured the children who wanted to go out and play, saying, "How about this, there's no rush. Let's rest here for a while before we move on."
The little bluebird was satisfied.
