Chapter 79 All Members Assemble
afternoon.
It was time for Yun Zhao's shooting lesson.
The difference in strength between guides and sentries is too great, and they focus on different things.
The four people over there had already released their spiritual forms and started fighting, while Yun Zhao over here was staring blankly at a pile of guns in the armory that he couldn't name.
Inside the armory, all kinds of firearms were neatly arranged on the shelves, and a dazzling array of munitions and ammunition were displayed. Ammunition boxes were piled up in the corner, with detailed parameters and uses marked on them.
Xie Tu strode in, picked through the equipment in the room, and said, "You need to be able to protect yourself, so that you can protect yourself even when we're not around."
I don't expect her to be a sharpshooter, but at least she should be able to use various firearms proficiently.
Yun Zhao's gaze swept over the dazzling array of firearms. "I know, you've said it several times already."
The surroundings were filled with a cold, heavy metallic sheen.
Xie Tu remained with his back to her, selecting weapons from the rack. Upon hearing this, he replied naturally, "Really?"
"Hmm." Yun Zhao walked over and stood beside him, watching him choose a weapon.
She is not very good at understanding people's hearts or handling interpersonal relationships.
Xie Tu patiently explained and emphasized again and again. Although it sounded a bit nagging, it was probably due to the responsibility and burden of being a team leader.
The death of the rabbit brother also left him with a shadow.
Xie Tu spent a long time choosing before selecting a small Diamond Bird and handing it to her, saying, "This one suits you; it's small, convenient, and surprisingly powerful."
Yun Zhao's profile, as he intently observed, appeared quite demure.
She held it in her hand and weighed it in her hand.
It is indeed small and lightweight, making it easy to carry and conceal.
"First, understand its structure and operation method."
Xie Tu took the gun from her hand again and explained it to her one by one, "Look here, this is the safety. Before you shoot, you must check that the safety is off."
Xie Tu skillfully disassembled it, showing her each component. "This is the barrel, which determines the bullet's trajectory and accuracy; the trigger, the key part controlling firing; and this, the magazine, used to load bullets..."
Yun Zhao watched intently, listening carefully to his explanation and discerning the details.
Xie Tu was afraid she wouldn't understand, so he repeated it twice, then had her identify each part one by one, and then reassembled the gun.
"Watch me demonstrate the movements."
He gripped the gun handle with both hands, his body slightly turned to the side, assuming a standard shooting posture.
Xie Tu handed the gun back to him, his voice steady and powerful, "Give it a try."
Yun Zhao then imitated his movements and raised his gun, his posture was very standard.
It seems... not difficult at all?
Once the safety is released, simply aim and fire.
Xie Tu nodded. "Let's go to the shooting range."
Real combat is the only standard for testing strength.
The two walked out side by side.
From then on, Yun Zhao began a fulfilling life of climbing the mountain in the morning for knowledge classes and practicing target shooting in the afternoon.
However... on the fifth day of training.
She barely managed to hit the target.
Not the bullseye...
Xie Tu stood tall and straight beside the shooting range, his expression solemn, looking at her with a furrowed brow.
It's like he's trying to figure out where the problem lies.
That expression seemed to say, "You're the worst player I've ever coached!"
He clearly has a strong learning ability and good comprehension, but he just can't seem to hit the target no matter what he does.
The team members secretly came over to watch.
The group was shocked.
"I once missed the bullseye during training and was severely punished by the captain."
Tao Haohao was questioning his existence, "How can the captain be so hypocritical?"
The rabbit glared at him with dissatisfaction. "You think you can compare to Sister Yun Zhao? The guide doesn't rely on force; she's already very skilled."
The next second.
Yun Zhao fired with perfect form, and with a "bang," the bullet flew a great distance away from the target directly in front of him.
It shot over the back of the mountain.
rabbit:"………"
Yun Zhao himself remained calm and maintained his posture as he fired again, even attempting to use his mental power to track the bullet's trajectory mid-fire.
The little bluebird didn't want to admit that its physical form was useless, so it decided to stay out of sight and avoid seeing it and ran back to its spiritual realm, refusing to come out.
After several more shots rang out, she finally hit the target again.
It's right on the Third Ring Road.
Xie Tu probably used up all his patience on her in this lifetime, and said with a cold face, "Not bad."
rabbit:"……"
Tao Haohao: "???"
Duan Xi: "!!!"
Song Liang turned his head away immediately, unable to bear to look.
The third ring! If it had been a little off, it would have gone out of bounds again. In the past, everyone who missed the bullseye would have been punished.
The captain praised someone with a long face, looking like he was being forced to do so.
Xie Tu seemed to sense something and glanced back at them expressionlessly.
The team members were so frightened that they quickly retreated.
*
By the eighth day.
All residents within the base city have been tested and found safe; the lockdown has been lifted. Security checks have been strengthened at both entrances and exits, and a new isolation procedure has been established.
People entering the city recently are required to undergo a one-hour quarantine and then be tested again for contamination levels.
The investigation team and the biological research institute both submitted their results reports at the same time.
"Pollution Zone No. 28?" Minister Duan put down the report with a solemn expression.
The intelligence team leader nodded. "Yes, after checking each checkpoint along the way, the investigation team found a fleeting figure in the gray fog area of the polluted section of road 28. We suspect it was Zhang Dehui."
Due to the haze, the image was extremely blurry, and only a side view could be captured.
But the blurry image was enough to prove that it was a person.
Someone has entered contaminated zone number 28.
As for whether it was Zhang Dehui, a thorough search of all the surveillance footage revealed no one coming out.
The footage is mainly focused on the spread area and cannot thoroughly investigate the entire range. It may have come from other places but was not captured by the surveillance.
Minister Duan tapped the table lightly in deep thought.
She suddenly stood up, turned to the bookshelf behind her, and pulled out information about contaminated zone number 28.
"If I remember correctly, that place is in the southwestern plains, and in the old days, it was a place called Chengdu."
Minister Duan opened the documents, looked down and said, "The formation time of Contaminated Zone No. 28 is unknown. We only discovered that Shelter No. 28 in the plains had already fallen after the Dark Ages ended."
The date of the fall is unknown.
In a dark, post-apocalyptic world devoid of light and electricity, all communications are completely cut off.
All the shelters established by the state back then have become isolated and helpless islands.
Two hundred years of darkness, the area outside the shelter was filled with monsters and darkness, as well as gray fog that was impossible to distinguish in the darkness.
One wrong step and you could stumble into a strange realm.
At that time, the Dawn Base was preoccupied with its own problems.
They were on the ground, and although there were countless air-raid shelters in the city, the people on the ground felt no sense of security. They were busy building stronger city walls and gates to defend against attacks from mutated creatures and aberrations.
After the Dark Ages ended.
It took them three years to establish communications and gradually make contact with the other three surviving bases.
It was learned that only four shelters remained...
At that moment, everyone felt incredibly heavy-hearted, as if a heavy hammer had struck their hearts, leaving them unable to calm down for a long time.
Minister Duan recalled those past events and said with a complicated expression, "Pollution Zone No. 28 was assessed as four-star by the assessment team."
Another four-star contamination zone...
Apart from the records left over from the old era, Dawn Base knew nothing else about the contaminated area.
The pollution zone No. 28, which is under monitoring, is relatively stable.
It's not a high priority.
Therefore, no combat team has been sent there for a long time.
The deeper reason is that they simply don't have enough manpower.
Apart from Team Zero, all other combat teams operate in pairs, meaning that in the vast base, there are only seven teams exploring the contaminated area.
Only Team Zero is responsible for carrying out four-star missions.
Minister Duan picked up the data sent by the research institute from the table. "That mutant... was completely covered by dark matter the night it was sent to the research institute. The speed of mutation was unprecedented."
"The detection equipment failed to detect it, and the S-class guide's mental filaments were out of control, which shows that the level of danger is far beyond our imagination."
The intelligence team leader stood in front of the table, remaining silent and waiting for the minister's order.
"Task priority adjusted to red; intelligence team submit relevant information immediately."
Minister Duan gave the order: "Notify Team Zero to assemble!"
