Chapter 605, Contaminated Zone 6 (Twenty-Nine)
"In the end, the red-eyed one won."
Jiang Mu continued, "When we returned to Pollution Zone No. 4, you still felt the red eyes watching you, confirming that Zone No. 4 was already in its grasp. Similarly, Qingshan Town is also within Zone No. 4's territory."
At that moment, Yun Zhao lost control and shouted "Come out!" at the sky. It's not hard to guess that she felt the gaze still upon her.
But after the fluorescence broke through the clouds, the red eyes disappeared instantly.
Even the spirit thread of the Azure Phoenix couldn't capture it.
Only on its own territory can it act so recklessly, appearing and disappearing without a trace.
"The gatekeeper who was watching the fun and the red-eyed gatekeeper have matched up."
Yun Zhao turned to look at He Guanghai, "Uncle, have you seen it before?"
"I've met you before..."
He Guanghai still feels lingering fear when he thinks of that scene: "The entire sky was covered by a giant red eye, and when it looked down, it sent chills down your spine..."
The mutant species do not experience fear.
But at that moment, I felt an instinctive shiver.
He Guanghai's voice was hoarse, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the edge of the dining table. "It's not fear, but... like an ant suddenly realizing it's being watched by humans."
Fu Heng heard this description for the first time and turned to look at everyone. "Could it be the source we're looking for?"
Xie Tu put a question mark on the paper. "Possibly."
He Guanghai wasn't very clear about the origin of the matter, so he could only give them as much information as possible. "Actually, the Red Eyes rarely appear. I've only seen it once in all the years I've been here, and for some reason, it has protected Qingshan Town."
The vines and mutants driven by red eyes rarely set foot here.
Yun Zhao was silent for a while, "It's probably because of me, but I don't remember having any connection with it. Maybe it's related to my father?"
The white mist in the spiritual realm has mostly dissipated.
She has basically remembered everything from her childhood, and even now, she still harbors murderous intent towards red-eyed people.
Whatever the reason, it was this that killed my uncles...
"No rush, we'll find them one by one sooner or later."
After Jiang Mu finished speaking, he looked at the two people from the Dawn Base, "Then, next, Shen Ying."
The words fell.
Xie Tu was the first to raise his head.
When the red-crowned crane was mentioned, complex emotions welled up in the eyes of those present.
That person was the founder of the Dawn Base, who led the people of Southwest China through the dark ages.
She and her partners made tremendous contributions to humanity.
He ultimately sacrificed himself to save the world.
The heroes who risked their lives to protect humanity may now be the ones we need to fight against.
"I personally do not hold a positive attitude."
Jiang Mu's reasoning was simple: "The gatekeeper can no longer be called a human being. If Shen Ying really wanted to help, she should have sought help from the two of you whose combat uniforms have red-crowned crane patterns, not from Xia Mingang who knows nothing."
This simple-minded young master, I couldn't even remember who he was when I heard his name.
Obviously, we can't count on that.
Xia Mingang: "..." If the atmosphere weren't so serious and the timing wasn't right, he would have loved to fight without a care in the world.
“I agree with you. It’s not impossible that red-crowned cranes have lost their nature because they live too close to the source.”
Fu Heng initially had an information gap compared to everyone else, but after learning more, she realized that being cautious was the right thing to do.
Yun Zhao then looked at He Guanghai, "Has Uncle seen her before?"
She recalled the admiration and reverence she felt when she first arrived at the base and saw the statue of the young girl.
In fact, people are like trees; the more they yearn for the sunlight, the more they should extend their roots into the dark earth.
Yun Zhao hopes that the red-crowned crane will be the same.
Even in darkness, one still yearns for light.
I hope she is still the same person, and I look forward to seeing her.
He Guanghai pondered for a moment, "As for the humanoid gatekeeper, I don't know which one it is. Perhaps I've seen it, but I don't know myself."
There are too many humanoid creatures in the contaminated area.
Although the gatekeeper's memories occasionally play out in the domain.
But the girl's face remained blurry, and trying to look closely would be very uncomfortable, leaving one's mind in a state of confusion.
"Let's hope she stays rational."
Jiang Mu raised his eyes. "But let me make this clear: if we really encounter her, we won't hold back once she makes a move."
Even though she is the spiritual totem of the Dawn Base.
Yun Zhao spoke frankly, "Xie Tu and I didn't think that way. After all, if we really encountered you, we should ask her to go easy on you."
The Dark Guide, the Sentinel's ultimate nemesis.
Jiang Mu: "..." Speechless.
"Alright, the identities of three goalkeepers have been confirmed."
Fu Heng grabbed the notebook and inquired about the remaining questions, "Uncle, do you know what kind of creature the gatekeeper who's watching the commotion is?"
Practice makes perfect.
Once you get used to calling it that, it's not unacceptable.
He Guanghai: "I roughly know that it is a collectible. It likes to be viewed by people and often lies in the open square, surrounded by crowds. I dare not get too close and I can't see what it is."
Everyone present: "..."
Fearing they wouldn't believe him, He Guanghai explained, "After all, I am a mutant. For the gatekeeper, killing a mutant is easier than crushing an ant. Getting too close to the gatekeeper is extremely dangerous."
He had originally gone there in search of other people.
Qin Zheng and He Jun were there, but they were being held by the gatekeeper and didn't recognize him.
He Guanghai once tried to give them the crystal.
But it didn't work; the stone seemed to be genetically bound to him, rendering it useless to either of them.
He also tried to take two people with him, but all his attempts ended in failure.
However, He Guanghai does not intend to say it now.
Once Zhao Zhao learned the whereabouts of her other two uncles, she no longer cared about the mission.
Xie Tu had previously told him that Zhao Zhao was now the team leader.
She's grown into a young woman now; she should prioritize the bigger picture and not act impulsively...
Unaware of his thoughts, Yun Zhao quickly said, "Uncle did the right thing. Your own safety is the most important thing. You should stay away from the gatekeeper in the future."
Jiang Mu said, "Since you like lively places, it should be easy to find. Knowing the general area should be enough."
It must be said that He Guanghai helped them a lot.
Almost instantly, the 5S team grasped the general situation of the sixth contaminated zone.
"The captain should choose."
After studying it carefully, Fu Yan handed the notebook to Yun Zhao, saying, "We need to break through one by one. My suggestion is to start with the simplest one."
"The simplest?"
Xia Mingang stared at the four gatekeepers on the notebook, utterly speechless: "An eye, a collectible, an alien woman, a hero guide—tell me, which one is the easiest?"
None of them are simple!
Yun Zhao looked at it for a long time, then said, "I choose number five."
Xia Minang: "...misstep."
Although the fifth one is the most mysterious in Uncle He's eyes, it is, without a doubt, her lair.
Yun Zhao explained his reasoning: "Five sentries are still missing. We can't take the wounded with us. After thinking it over, I think it's safest to leave them in the manor castle."
Although Uncle He said there was no danger in the town, it was still Red Eyes' territory.
No one can guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen in Qingshan Town after they leave.
As for those crystals, if they can restore the mutants to their senses, she will definitely go back and get some, in case she finds the other seven uncles later on.
For Yun Zhao, everything that belonged to Yun Jue was hers, and everything in the manor and castle was hers too.
It's perfectly reasonable to go back and get your own things.
Moreover, she knew that, out of consideration for her, there was an even bigger question that everyone tacitly kept quiet about.
—If the manor castle is a separate domain, then who is its gatekeeper?
