Chapter 839: Negotiation ( 5 )
Their briefing only lasted for five minutes. Soon after, the team leaders led their teams to take over the defenses, giving time for the Mutants from the Mo family and the Phantom Team to rest.
Ten minutes later, the members of the Phantom Team gathered in an abandoned house near the center of the base.
Qin Luzi opened the map of Sanchou City and circled several areas with a red marker. "Captain, these are the areas where the possibility of high-level zombies is the highest."
Jin Xuyan and the members studied the map for a moment before Cheng Rui asked, "Brother Qin, why do you think these areas might have high-level zombies?"
"Did you notice that the level of zombies attacking the base was mostly level 1 or level 2?"
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
"If my guess is right, these zombies are just cannon fodder used to wear down our strength. In these areas, most of the zombies are level 4, with several level 5 among them. Compared to other areas, these places have the highest defense."
Jiao Lizhi thought for a moment and muttered, "If the level 5 zombies are also under control, then what level are the zombies controlling this horde?"
Qin Luzi shook his head and replied, "I kept an eye on my map the entire time."
"In a radius of 80 kilometers, the highest-level zombie is level 5. With so many level 5 zombies, they would have long started fighting each other. It’s impossible for them to work together to control the horde."
Just after he finished his words, Jiang Ziyi’s voice echoed in Jiao Lizhi’s mind.
"It’s not impossible if the one planning this attack is Pei Gan."
Jiao Lizhi was taken aback by his sudden comment. "What do you know about him?"
"He is the one who is leading the entire Light of Dawn Organization’s research projects. He is also the one who can contact the Matkuna Race."
"Zombies are the failed product of his experiments. The last information I have about him was that he successfully created Mutants that could be controlled."
"If he could control Mutants, then he must have a way to control the zombies. After all, compared to Mutants who have their consciousness, zombies are just mindless beasts."
After a moment of silence, Jiao Lizhi asked, "Did your unfinished business have something to do with Pei Gan?"
This time, Jiang Ziyi chuckled and said, "He took something from me, and it’s time to return it to the rightful owner."
While she was talking with him, the members had already finished discussing their plans.
"Everyone, recover your energy as much as possible. We will leave in 30 minutes," Jin Xuyan said.
"Understood."
Jiao Lizhi took out a bag of Sthanam crystals and distributed them to the members. When the members recovered their energy, she went to a secluded alley.
With a thought, she pulled Jiang Ziyi out of her space. Standing in front of her, he was still munching on his apple.
Realizing that he was no longer inside her space, he said, "Fengyan, next time you want to pull me out, can you give me a heads-up first?"
Ignoring his words, Jiao Lizhi took out his backpack and handed a satellite phone to him. "Contact me if you need any help."
Jiang Ziyi accepted the phone and reached out to pat her head. "Don’t worry. If I don’t want to die, no one can kill me."
Jiao Lizhi slapped his unruly paw and rolled her eyes. "Who worried about you?" After she said this, she turned and left him alone in that alley.
Looking at her back, the smile on Jiang Ziyi’s face slowly disappeared. He touched his left wrist, and soon a blue screen appeared in front of him.
He tapped several buttons, and soon after, a sentence appeared on the blue screen. "System activated in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... 0!"
The moment the countdown hit zero, a familiar voice echoed in his mind. "Long time no see, Host. I hope everything went well this time."
Hearing this, Jiang Ziyi’s eyes softened, and he replied with a smile, "It’s been a long time, Jiva. Check the system’s status."
"System’s energy: 100%. System’s reserve energy: 100%. All functions: Activated."
"Connect the link with Gaia and Krayan."
"Connecting the link..." After a full minute, Jiva’s voice was heard again, "Soul link connected. Energy sharing function activated."
"Activate the Great Commander’s main system."
"Main system reactivated. Energy status: 50%."
Hearing this, Jiang Ziyi nodded and said, "50% is more than enough." He took another look in Du Beiye and Jiao Lizhi’s direction before he said, "Activate the space portal."
At the same time, Jiao Lizhi suddenly heard Gaia’s voice in her mind.
"Space portal activated. Location locked."
A question mark appeared in her mind as she asked, "Gaia, what’s going on?"
She waited for a while, but still didn’t get any response from her system. Although she had her doubts, she couldn’t get the answer, so she had no choice but to put this matter at the back of her mind for now.
While she was still confused, Jiang Ziyi had already disappeared from Sanchou Base and reappeared at the border of Luyang City.
Unlike Sanchou City, Luyang City was like a ghost town. Not to mention survivors, there were not even zombies seen on the road.
Standing on the rooftop of a tall building, Jiang Ziyi put on his glasses and tapped the rim.
The next moment, a mini map appeared in front of him. The map was filled with dense red dots that people with trypophobia might faint when they saw.
He sneered and said, "A rat will always be a rat. He could only hide underground for his entire life."
After he finished his words, he leaped from the rooftop, and the next moment, a mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
"Flight mode activated."
Unlike Krayan or Gaia, which need an order to activate their features, Jiva was an independent system.
