Chapter 889 889: Attacked From Both Sides ( 10 )
After the small episode, the Phantom Team members continued discussing the weapon.
"Junjie, why didn't you tell us that you can make nano weapons?" Jiao Lizhi asked.
"The cost of the materials is too high. It's not cost-effective. Moreover, my design uses uranium as the main fuel. In the long term, this will cause a lot of health problems."
"Back then, I told my teacher that this design was flawed and couldn't be used. I never expected him to still insist on using it," Mo Junjie explained.
Now that they had learned about the nano weapons, the missing link was finally found.
"No wonder they are searching for the black crystal. They must be using it to replace the uranium," Yuan Ruiyue muttered.
Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi exchanged glances with Du Beiye.
Both of them knew that the Organization's reason for searching for the Sthanam crystal was not as simple as they thought. But they didn't plan to reveal this yet, so they chose to let the others believe this explanation.
After breakfast, Jin Xuyan said, "I will send them back first. All of you wait for me here."
"Understood."
Seeing that they were leaving, the mutants stood up, and one of them asked, "Brother, can you send us away too? We don't want to stay here any longer."
Without Pei Yixie, they couldn't check whether these people had bad intentions or not. But sending them to the Lin'an City Base was no problem. With Xun Che and Wen Hanli there, what could a group of mutants do?
"Follow us," Jin Xuyan nodded.
The mutants quickly picked up their belongings and followed them to the back room. Standing in the middle of the empty room, they looked at him with confusion.
"Hold hands," Jin Xuyan said.
Everyone followed his order. The next moment, their vision blurred, and they felt nauseous. When they could no longer hold on and fell to the ground, they realized they were touching cold, hard ground.
It took them several minutes to recover. When they raised their heads, they saw a tall wall in the distance.
"Get into the car."
Hearing this, they turned and saw a bus on the road. Unwilling to be left behind, they forced themselves to walk over and get in.
When everyone boarded the bus, Jin Xuyan drove while Jiao Lizhi made a call.
"Vice Commander, we will arrive at the base in 10 minutes." After a pause, she added, "Yes, your brother is with us. He also brought his girlfriend. Mm-hmm. Okay."
After she hung up, she said, "Your brother will come out to pick you up personally."
"Thank you," Wen Hanyu nodded.
For the rest of the journey, no one spoke. When they reached the 4th wall entrance, Wen Hanli and a group of guards were already waiting.
As soon as he saw his brother, he rushed over and pulled him into a hug.
"Brother, you are choking me," Wen Hanyu said, patting his brother's back.
Hearing this, Wen Hanli let him go and looked him over. "Are you injured?"
"No, Brother. I'm fine."
"Vice Commander, my team is still waiting for us, so we won't go with you," Jiao Lizhi said.
Wen Hanli turned to her and said, "Comrade Jiao, Captain Jin, thank you for saving my brother."
"Just transfer the points over," Jin Xuyan waved his hand.
"Alright."
Since they had finished the task, both Jin Xuyan and Jiao Lizhi returned to the Second Colony. As for the mutants they sent over, Wen Hanli had the guards settle them according to the rules and regulations.
After regrouping with Yuan Ruiyue and the rest, they used the space portal and teleported directly to the Red Cliff Base's location.
When they appeared, Zhang Yuan and the members were checking their weapons. Seeing them, Xiao Qi's eyes lit up. "Captain, you are finally here."
"Did something happen?" Jin Xuyan raised his eyebrows.
Pei Yixie looked around and asked, "Brother, didn't you meet Cheng Rui, Cheng Yue, and Brother Fuyun?"
"They are not coming with you guys?" Jin Xuyan asked in surprise.
"No, they stayed at the mountain in case you needed backup."
When he heard this, Jin Xuyan wanted to facepalm. He turned to his fiancée and asked in a low voice, "Ah Zhi, can you help me?"
Jiao Lizhi chuckled and said, "Let's go."
They did another space jump to bring the forgotten members back. When they finally reunited, Cheng Rui looked at them with an aggrieved expression and complained, "Captain, how can you forget about me?"
Jin Xuyan pushed him away and said, "Stop whining. Go eat and have a rest. We will have a meeting in two hours."
Cheng Rui swallowed his complaint and lowered his head. "Oh, okay."
Two hours later, the members gathered and sat in a circle inside the cave. Now that they had Jiao Lizhi and Du Beiye with them, they were finally able to get a detailed map of the entire area.
Following the map provided by Krayan, Du Beiye drew a detailed map of the Red Cliff Base and the Sthanam crystal mine. She also marked the areas that were destroyed and damaged.
When she was done, it was Qin Luzi's turn to provide information about the number of commoners and mutants living in each part of the base.
It was an hour later when they finalized the map. The Phantom Team members looked at it and discussed their plans for another half an hour.
In the end, they agreed to sneak into the base and create an opening for Jiao Lizhi to take away the crystals.
"Captain, here is the crystal taken from that cave. We already checked it, and this crystal contains high radiation," Xiao Qi said as he handed over a small piece of black crystal.
After a moment of pause, he asked, "Sister-in-law, collecting this dangerous thing, won't it put you in danger?"
Jiao Lizhi reached out to take the crystal and said, "It's okay."
The next moment, she heard Gaia's voice echoing in her mind. "Warning! The Sthanam crystal is contaminated by unknown materials. Prolonged direct contact will cause damage to the Host's body."
