Chapter 891 891: Attacked From Both Sides ( 12 )
After she parted ways with Mo Lingshen, Shang Yuanling returned to the central command building to report to Wen Hanli. She also needed to ask Xun Che if he would stay in the office or go back home.
Mo Lingshen climbed the stairs and reached Mo Junjie's apartment in less than 15 minutes. Using the keys, she unlocked the door and walked in.
She thought that the apartment would feel cold and gloomy like her brother's room in their house. Unexpectedly, when she looked around, she noticed several decorations that gave off a feminine vibe.
The painting hanging on the wall was not the usual black-and-white style her brother liked, but a colorful mountain landscape.
On the cabinet near the wall, there was a flower vase. Although the flower was made from a rice paper plant, its color was vibrant and bright.
Mo Lingshen went to the kitchen and saw signs that it had been used. She couldn't imagine her brother, who usually never touched a knife outside of the operating room or laboratory, standing here to cook.
Thinking about the rumors she heard regarding her brother's relationship with Du Beiye, she assumed that the one cooking must be her. Recalling how kind Du Beiye was to her, she felt that it would be nice if she became her sister-in-law.
With this thought, she smiled and went to check her room. Her brother had already informed her that the guest room was hers. The junior master bedroom was her brother's room, and the master bedroom belonged to Du Beiye.
Although her room was located near the bathroom, she didn't have any complaints. Anyway, it made it easier for her to go to the toilet.
She explored the house before taking a long, hot bath.
She changed into a set of comfortable clothes and went to check the kitchen cabinets. Inside, they were full of instant food. Although she was born with a silver spoon, she was not picky about food.
For lunch, she made a bowl of noodles, added two eggs, and some dumplings. For drinks, she boiled water and brewed some coffee.
While she was enjoying her meal, the blizzard finally arrived.
Two hours after the blizzard hit, communication was cut off. Not to mention radio communication, even satellite phones had lost signal.
At this moment, Jiao Lizhi had just come out of her space with her fiancée. Noticing that they couldn't use any communication devices, Jin Xuyan asked, "Ah Zhi, can you contact your sister in this kind of weather?"
Jiao Lizhi nodded and replied, "Both Gaia and Krayan are advanced systems. They don't need to depend on satellites for signals. I can still communicate with my sister through the system."
Jin Xuyan nodded and said, "Then, let's go to the mine."
"Okay."
The next second, Jiao Lizhi activated the space portal, and in less than five seconds, the two of them appeared inside a deep hole. Due to the heavy blizzard, the snow piling up in the hole had reached 1.2 meters high.
To keep his fiancée warm, Jin Xuyan circulated his energy and increased his body temperature. As he hugged her, he looked around and said, "Ah Zhi, there is no one here."
Jiao Lizhi checked her mini map and nodded. The size of the Sthanam crystal mine was five times bigger than the one found in Lunar City.
Fearing that she might lose consciousness after taking so many crystals, Jiao Lizhi set the space portal to activate automatically in five minutes.
When she was done, she held her fiancée's hand and said, "Brother Yan, I will start now."
"Okay."
Raising her hands, Jiao Lizhi muttered softly, "Collect!"
The next moment, the cave shook as if it had been hit by an earthquake. Jin Xuyan held her tighter as he saw the crystals disappear in the blink of an eye.
During the process, Jiao Lizhi felt as if her head was being split open. The pain caused her to break out in a cold sweat. Blood drained from her face, and her body swayed.
Gritting her teeth, she forced herself to stay awake and took everything. While it felt like forever, everything happened in less than four minutes.
After all the crystals were taken away, the ground collapsed, and the two of them fell into a deep, dark pit.
As they fell, Jiao Lizhi started to lose consciousness. But knowing that they were not out of danger, she bit her tongue. The sharp pain cleared her mind for a moment.
Forty seconds passed, and they still didn't reach the ground. Feeling that something was wrong, Jin Xuyan waved his hand, and a fireball flew toward the bottom of the pit.
With the illumination of the fireball, they were finally able to see the surroundings. Unlike the stone and mud they expected, the walls of the pit were covered with an unknown metal.
BOOM!
The fireball exploded upon contact with the ground.
Usually, with the power of his fireball, the ground should have been destroyed. But after a moment, Jin Xuyan was taken aback when he saw that not only was the ground intact, but it even glowed as it absorbed his energy.
Before he could take a better look, the space portal was activated, and the two of them disappeared from the spot. The moment they reappeared inside the small cave near the cliff, Jiao Lizhi fainted.
"Ah Zhi!"
Although he had prepared himself, the moment he saw her faint, Jin Xuyan was still panicked. He held her in his arms and used his body heat to warm her up.
While Jiao Lizhi was absorbing the excess energy of the Sthanam crystals, the sound of a siren echoed through the entire maze-like building located at the bottom of the pit.
Soon after, a group of Matkuna soldiers arrived. They checked the surroundings for a moment before one of them went to report to their supervisor.
Ten minutes later, a Matkuna Captain arrived with a group of people. The man leading the group frowned when he felt the trace of energy fluctuation left in the area.
