Chapter 837: Negotiation ( 3 )
Hearing her sister’s words, Du Beiye frowned and said, "Activating the system barrier shouldn’t put you in danger. We have used this barrier countless times before, and nothing happened to you."
"It’s because I took too many Sthanam crystals into my space. When they are planted in my space, they consume too much mental power and could damage my brain nerves."
"There are Sthanam crystals in this base?" Du Beiye was taken aback.
"Before you arrived on this planet, the Phantom Team took a mission to collect an unknown metal at the border of Luyang City. That’s when I obtained the Sthanam crystal for the first time after my arrival."
"Back then, I hadn’t recovered my memories, so I didn’t know the function of the crystal. I handed one-third of the total crystals to the base. Afterward, I never asked what the base did with them."
"Today, I noticed that the Matkuna soldiers seemed to be attacking one area. After Gaia checked the location, we found the Sthanam crystals stored in the cellar."
After she heard her sister’s explanation, Du Beiye could roughly guess the situation. "So, you put all the crystals in your space and fainted because you overexerted yourself?"
"Well, I actually felt nothing. After I fainted, my consciousness floated in the void. Since I had nothing to do, I just took a nap there. Just now, Gaia woke me up as my space had stabilized," Jiao Lizhi replied with a smile.
Du Beiye stared at her sister for a long time before she said, "You are too reckless. Did you forget what happens to the Host if the system fails?"
"I know, but at that time, this was the best way to solve the problem."
"Sister, no matter how many bugs come, Xun Che and his people will be able to handle them. This base is everyone’s responsibility. It’s not yours alone. So, you really should change your ’saintly’ mindset," Du Beiye said with a sigh.
Before her sister could refute her words, she added, "Your man called when you were sleeping. You should call him back."
Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi no longer bothered with her sister and took her satellite phone from the bedside table. The call only rang twice before it was picked up.
"Ah Zhi, how are you?"
Hearing her fiancé’s voice, Jiao Lizhi smiled and replied, "Brother Yan, I’m fine. Don’t worry, I’m just exhausted and fell asleep."
Jin Xuyan frowned and asked again, "Are you really okay?"
Noticing his worries, she said, "I’m really okay. If you don’t believe me, how about I go to your place?"
When he heard this, Jin Xuyan finally heaved a sigh of relief. After a moment of pause, he said, "Ah Zhi, the situation is not good here. The number of zombies keeps increasing, and we can’t leave the base to find the high-level zombies controlling this horde."
Jiao Lizhi was taken aback by his words. If even her fiancé said that the situation was not good, then the actual situation must be very dangerous. "Brother Yan, what’s your plan?" she asked.
"I already informed Xun Che and asked him to send reinforcements. The problem is that there are a lot of zombies with abilities, and some of them are even able to fly. It will be hard to send reinforcements using military choppers."
"Brother Yan, I will go there to pick you up. We can just tell Xun Che about your teleportation ability. This way, we don’t have to use the military chopper and could save time," Jiao Lizhi suggested.
Jin Xuyan let out a low hum and said, "I also have the same plan. But we will only use teleportation if you are really okay."
"Teleportation is not my ability but my system’s feature. Using it will consume the system’s energy, but won’t affect me at all."
After hearing this, Jin Xuyan finally said, "Alright. We will use your teleportation."
"I will go and pick you up first."
Jin Xuyan thought for a moment and said, "Ah Zhi, there are a lot of commoners here, and the base is small."
"Brother Yan, you want to bring the commoners to Lin’an?" she asked.
"I’m worried that there are spies hiding among them. If we bring them to Lin’an, Xun Che will take care of them."
Jiao Lizhi had no objection after hearing his words and agreed readily. "Okay. We will do as you wish."
After they reached an agreement, they hung up the call, and Jiao Lizhi went to find her sister. When she walked out of her bedroom, she saw Mo Junjie was also there.
Seeing him, she asked, "Brother Mo, why are you here instead of resting at your place?"
"Beiye told me about the situation in Sanchou Base. We are ready to go whenever you are ready."
The moment she heard this, Jiao Lizhi looked at her sister with surprise.
"Sister, I told him everything."
Out of all the members, Jiao Lizhi never expected her sister to tell Mo Junjie everything. They had been dropping hints to Feng Yun all this time and agreed to let him discover their secrets.
She was genuinely surprised that her sister trusted Mo Junjie so much. She observed them for a while before she noticed something was off with how Mo Junjie looked at her sister.
’Could it be that he likes Beiye?’ Jiao Lizhi thought to herself.
As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, she didn’t find it surprising at all. Only now did she realize that the relationship between her sister and this man had long changed.
Since her sister trusted him, she would trust her sister. Jiao Lizhi nodded and said, "I’m going to pick up Brother Yan. Both of you will come with me. The situation is not good at Sanchou."
"Sister, we already made the preparations. Let’s go now," Du Beiye said as she stood up.
Mo Junjie also stood up and reached out to hold her hand. His action was so calm and natural as if his intimate behavior was normal.
