Chapter 892 892: Attacked From Both Sides ( 13 )
"First Elder, is this the safety measure you are talking about?" the Matkuna Captain said in a mechanical voice.
They were able to communicate thanks to devices developed by the Matkuna researchers that allowed them to translate their language into the Thirteen Colonies' language.
"Rather than finding fault with me here, shouldn't we find the person who took away all the crystals first?" the First Elder replied.
Although these bugs seemed smart due to their advanced technology, they were actually not as intelligent as the human race. No matter how advanced they were, in the end, they were still bugs.
They were able to gain the upper hand against the human race thanks to their long period of evolution.
After he came into contact with these bugs, he discovered that they were a race born from a mix between cockroaches and maggots. That explained their disgusting appearance and their preference for living in dark, damp places.
Hearing his words, the Matkuna Captain thought for a moment and ordered his soldiers to go to the surface and check the situation.
With a massive hole appearing above their camp, the temperature dropped drastically. As cold-blooded creatures, they couldn't survive long in sub-freezing temperatures. So, they had to find a way to block the hole.
Since the First Elder brought earth- and metal-type mutants with him, he ordered them to seal the opening.
As for investigating the thief, he didn't want to get involved.
After all, the crystals mined in this place were all taken away by the bugs. He wouldn't sacrifice his men just to help them. If they wanted to investigate, they should send their own soldiers.
Due to the blizzard, all the Matkuna soldiers sent to investigate died not long after. Facing heavy casualties, the Matkuna Captain could only report to the Matkuna General.
Even though they were eager to catch the thief, the Matkuna General still ordered the soldiers to return and wait until the blizzard passed before continuing the investigation.
On the 15th day after she collected all the Sthanam crystals, Jiao Lizhi finally woke up. When she woke up, her body was covered with a thick layer of black goo.
Seeing her finally wake up, Jin Xuyan smiled and said, "Congratulations on your breakthrough, Ah Zhi."
Unlike her previous breakthroughs, Jiao Lizhi didn't feel any pain this time. The moment the foul stench hit her nose, she frowned. She grabbed her fiancée's hand and brought him into her space.
As soon as she reappeared inside the Space, she rushed to her room and took a long shower.
Jin Xuyan prepared a set of clean clothes for his fiancée before he went to take a shower in the guest bathroom. Since the blizzard didn't show any sign of stopping, they decided to stay in her space and train.
No one expected that the blizzard would last for more than a month. When the blizzard finally stopped, Jiao Lizhi and Jin Xuyan had already left her Space.
Today marked the beginning of the 2nd year of the apocalypse.
In their previous lives, many people died due to the extreme heat that arrived soon after the blizzard. Carrying their past life's knowledge, both of them had already changed into summer clothes.
Soon after the sky cleared, the temperature started to rise. The snow melted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Inside the cave, Chen Wenwu noticed the temperature change and said, "Strange, the blizzard just stopped, but I already feel hot."
As he said this, he started sweating. Feeling hot, he took off his winter clothes and asked Xiao Qi for summer clothes. The members also noticed the drastic change in temperature and changed their clothes.
Just after they finished changing, Jiao Lizhi and Jin Xuyan came over. Pei Yixie, Su Ruanyi, and Du Beiye took this opportunity to change their clothes in the small cave.
When they returned, the ice covering the cliff had already melted, and the sound of the river flowing could be heard.
When everyone was present, Jin Xuyan finally said, "Now that the blizzard has stopped, it's our best opportunity to attack the base."
"Your Sister-in-law and I have already taken the crystals and found an underground base. That base is very strange, as the building can absorb our ability energy."
"Captain, if that underground base is able to absorb our energy, how can we destroy it?" Zhang Yuan asked.
"I think we should inform the Lin'an City Base and the Green Lake Base and ask them for reinforcements," Yuan Ruiyue suggested.
Jin Xuyan thought for a moment and shook his head. "We can't be sure if there is no danger after the winter. So, we can't divide their strength. Right now, we can only depend on ourselves and the people inside."
Hearing this, the members understood their Captain's meaning. There was still Richard Tolstoy and his team inside. If they could attack from both sides, they might be able to take over the base more easily.
"Captain, they don't have any communication devices. How do we contact them?" Xiao Qi asked.
The moment he asked, Jin Xuyan turned to Jian Ziqin and said, "Can you sneak into the base and contact them?"
When Jian Huan heard this, she wanted to refuse the order for her brother. But before she could say anything, Jian Ziqin nodded and replied, "I can merge with the shadows and sneak inside."
Meeting his confident gaze, Jin Xuyan smiled and patted his shoulder. "Old Qin will guide you. Don't worry."
"I will do my best to complete this task," Jian Ziqin replied firmly.
Since this was the first task he received after joining the team, he was determined to complete it. The members discussed the plan for ten minutes before getting ready.
Half an hour later, the members climbed the cliff and sneaked to the area near the base. While the members hid outside, Jian Ziqin circulated his energy and soon turned into a shadow.
Qin Luzi observed the situation on his map and guided him through the communication device given by Mo Junjie.
