Chapter 671 She Has a Way
Those particles began to run wild.
Such a massive quantity is like a deadly poisonous fog suspended in the air; unless it is fundamentally eliminated, the crisis will never be resolved.
But now the only one who controlled the dark matter, the Red Eye, has been destroyed.
Does humanity have to rely on Yun Zhao alone to purify all the dark matter in the world?
That's simply unrealistic.
Xie Tu frowned slightly. He didn't participate in the discussion; his attention was all on Yun Zhao.
Not far away.
Yun Zhao was squatting down, her gaze level with Kerry's. She watched as the lively little robot's arms fell limply to its sides, and it gradually went still.
The entire space shook even more violently.
The manor castle, crumbling into pieces, resembles a dream.
Yun Zhao slowly reached out and pulled Ke Li into his arms. The cold body had no warmth at all, and at that moment, tears welled up in his eyes.
The robot didn't die, but who knows when it will find its father.
Even if she finds her, is Kerry still the same Kerry without her childhood memories?
Xie Tu squatted down beside her, dragging his suitcase.
There was no urging, no useless comforting, just quiet companionship.
The world is still collapsing.
The sunlight disappeared, revealing the pitch-black sky outside. Thick darkness surged in from all directions, presenting a sense of nothingness, and exhaling a bone-chilling cold as it rose and fell.
The tester on the communicator instantly spiked to alarming levels.
The disaster is not over yet.
She didn't have much time to calm down.
Yun Zhao took one last look at Kerry, then removed the bow from its head and put it in his bag.
She wiped away her tears and stood up. "Let's go."
"Okay." Xie Tu bent down and put Kerry into the iron box that it had prepared.
The rectangular iron box has a leather interior and a soft blanket at the bottom to prevent damage.
Xie Tu put Kerry inside.
The moment the box was closed, Contaminated Zone Six completely collapsed.
The last glimmer of light inside the castle was swallowed by the dark matter, and the two were instantly enveloped in darkness.
There hasn't been a chance to tell you anything about the uncles yet.
But Xie Tu simply couldn't bring himself to speak at that moment.
She was already very sad.
"Actually, I know..."
But from the darkness, Yun Zhao's voice rang out, "Every time I mention the other uncles, Uncle He's expression changes. Later, when we found Uncle Qin, I secretly looked into your backpack, and there were only three stones inside..."
Yes, she's so smart, how could she not have noticed?
Xie Tu tightened his grip on the box, the corner digging into his palm and causing a sharp pain, but it was nothing compared to the dull, throbbing pain in his chest.
He paused for a long time, until urging voices came from afar.
"You still have me, I will always be with you."
No matter where you are, or under the vast starry sky, until the end of time, until the sea dries up and the rocks crumble.
...
The sixth contaminated zone finally collapsed, but instead of hope, darkness followed.
The blackness was so thick that even light could not penetrate it.
This silently tells everyone that while they were carrying out their mission in the contaminated zone, the dark apocalypse had returned to the world.
Xie Tu quickly realized that this was different from the feeling of slow erosion he had experienced before.
The dark substances outside were frantically seeping into his clothes and wounds, and the moment they touched his skin, they brought a bone-chilling cold and a strange feeling of being "swallowed."
Almost immediately, a small number of black particles appeared in his mental realm.
Such a rapid rate of erosion is unheard of.
Everyone realized the seriousness of the situation and, without further delay, quickly got on the bus.
Kerry couldn't take all the hundreds of supplies he left behind. After consulting with You Fei and the others, they selected a few trucks with important supplies and left the rest behind for the time being.
The outside environment has become even worse than the polluted area, making even breathing feel heavy and sticky.
However, the anticipated scene of the mutants attacking did not occur.
Kree has already dealt with the monsters and dark matter in Zone Six.
Otherwise, given the sheer size of Zone 6, a leak outside would undoubtedly cause an even greater disaster.
"Damn! There's no signal at all!"
As soon as Yun Zhao got into the car, he heard Xia Mingang's anxious voice. He was fiddling with the car's electronic devices. "The navigation isn't working properly either. What's the situation at the nearby sentry posts? Should we go check them out?"
Fu Heng forced herself to close her eyes and rest: "No need. Those who could evacuate should have already done so. As for those who couldn't evacuate, it's too late for us to go now."
Jiang Mu reclined the passenger seat and looked up upon hearing this: "Don't delay, the situation is critical, we need to get back to the base as soon as possible."
“We can’t even see the road now, how are we going to get back? Which base are we going back to?” Xia Mingang couldn’t help but ask.
This is a joint mission.
As is customary, once they emerge, the mission is considered complete, and the combat team should return to their respective bases.
But the situation is special now, and the team should not be scattered, but where to go back has become a problem.
Yun Zhao watched as Xie Tu put Kerry away. "Back to Dawn Base."
Jiang Mu raised an eyebrow: "Reason? We're the closest we've ever been to Dawn Base."
Everyone had their own selfish motives and were worried about the situation at their respective bases.
Especially Xia Mingang, whose grandfather is the base commander and is quite old. I wonder if he can handle it.
He wished he could teleport back to Hope Base immediately to take a look.
Going to Dawn Base is too far; it would take several days to travel there.
Moreover, we can't see the road now, and there's no navigation. We might not even realize we've gone the wrong way in the dark, which is too risky.
Yun Zhao didn't waste any words, "I have a way to eliminate the dark matter, provided that we get back to Dawn Base."
"As for navigation, there's no need to worry. The spirit beings can take turns helping to give directions."
A brief silence fell over the carriage.
They had just been discussing this issue, but upon hearing that Yun Zhao had a solution, they didn't waste any more words and immediately started the car.
The convoy sped through the thick darkness, heading southwest.
...
Dawn Base.
The research institute recently discovered an anomaly in the dark matter and immediately reported it to the operations department, issuing an early warning to the front lines.
The piercing alarm continued for a long time.
The monitoring equipment showed that the concentration of dark matter was soaring at an alarming rate.
The base immediately distributed a batch of protective suits to the public.
Protective suits cannot completely isolate dark matter, but they can reduce intake and save ordinary people's lives to the greatest extent possible.
The atmosphere in the operations building was as oppressive as solidified lead.
In the brightly lit corridor, people hurried by, their faces a mixture of exhaustion and fear.
"Minister... According to the institute's report, the dark matter has undergone a mutation, with its activity index increasing exponentially. The reason is currently unknown..."
The intelligence team leader, who was giving a report, paused. "Frontline soldiers are falling one after another, and the guides are already overloaded. Based on the current troop strength, we can only hold out for a maximum of three days. If we cannot effectively contain the situation before then, there will be no safe zone inside the base..."
