Chapter 701: His Secret ( 1 )
Recalling Mo Binxue’s fate when she had brought her into her space before, Jiao Lizhi asked again, "Will they turn into black mist and be absorbed by the space?"
"Now that the system is no longer dormant, the defense protocol has been adjusted. Unless the Host issues a command, the system will not convert living organisms into energy, except for harmful substances on their bodies."
Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi asked, "So as long as they are living organisms, I can bring them into my space?"
"Yes."
"Then why can’t I collect zombies?" she asked again.
"Zombies are not considered living organisms. Although they can move, their bodies are controlled by parasites living in their brains."
"Those parasites are control bugs of the Matkuna Race. To ensure the Host’s safety, the Matkuna Race cannot enter the Host’s space."
After hearing Gaia’s explanation, Jiao Lizhi finally understood why she could bring Mo Binxue and Fu Guai into her space but could not take zombies in.
As for zombie blood and flesh, they were classified as harmful substances, so the space converted and absorbed them as energy.
She looked at the level-4 zombies on the ground and waved her hand. The next moment, they disappeared and reappeared inside her space.
She placed them on the grassland where Fu Guai had been confined before. After she activated the barrier, she prepared 3 basins of pond water and 3 buckets of raw mutant meat for them.
After finishing, she and her fiancé rejoined the team. With the high-level zombies defeated, the low-level zombies lost their commanders, and their attacks became chaotic.
Noticing this, the members felt more at ease. A coordinated attack was far harder to deal with than a disorganized one.
By noon, the Phantom Team had cleared all the zombies. With practiced efficiency, they cleaned the battlefield and packed the zombie corpses into metal cubes.
At the same time, Feng Yun dispersed the spatial barrier and took a rest. Maintaining the spatial space for so long had drained nearly half of his mental energy. After he recovered, he stored all the metal cubes in his space.
Meanwhile, Jiao Lizhi, Xiao Qi, Pei Yixie, and Du Beiye went to collect supplies and furniture in this area. This time, they left nothing behind except empty walls.
When they were done, it was already noon. Checking his watch, Jin Xuyan said, "We will leave after lunch."
The members nodded and began preparing the meal. With Jiao Lizhi around, they preferred fresh food. Meeting their eager gazes, she could only take out 5 mutant chickens from her space.
Looking at the fresh mutant meat, they could not help but salivate.
At this point, everyone knew her space was special, but they had reached a silent understanding. If they wanted to continue living this good life, they would carry this secret to their graves.
With that thought, no one asked questions, and everyone went to their tasks.
During lunch, Jin Xuyan went to find Fu Guai and took a seat beside him. "Fu Guai, do you know them?" he asked.
Hearing this, Fu Guai knew that his brother was asking about the 3 level-4 zombies. He nodded and pulled a mobile phone from his pocket. After typing for a moment, he showed it to him.
"They are my friends back in the Facility. They were taken away before me. I thought they had died."
Jin Xuyan went silent for a moment before asking, "Did you destroy the chip so your Sister-in-law could help them regain their senses?"
Fu Guai nodded and typed for a moment. "Big Brother, since your wife can help me regain my senses, she should be able to help them."
"They are my best friends, and they know a lot about the organization. I believe that with their help, it won’t be long before we find the location of the organization’s headquarters."
Jin Xuyan didn’t know if his fiancée would be able to help them. He considered the pros and cons for a while before saying, "I don’t know if Ah Zhi will be able to help them. But we will do our best. Just don’t get your hopes too high."
Fu Guai nodded and typed again. "Thank you, Big Brother. I understand."
Jin Xuyan patted his brother’s shoulder before leaving. Not long after, Pei Yixie walked over holding a plate of roasted chicken.
She handed the plate to him and asked, "Brother Fu, what are you thinking about?"
Hearing her voice, Fu Guai turned to her and replied, "Nothing."
After consuming a lot of pond water and food produced by Jiao Lizhi’s space, his mind was no longer blurry. As he absorbed more Sthanam crystals, his mental power increased tremendously.
Now, Pei Yixie was no longer able to read his mind as freely as before. Most of the time, she could only guess his thoughts from the subtle expressions on his face.
Since he didn’t want to tell her, Pei Yixie didn’t insist. She sat beside him and ate her lunch in silence.
No one knew that Fu Guai had actually just broken through to level 5 recently. This happened in the middle of the night, and his advancement process was different from others.
As a mutant, he only needed to continue expanding his energy pool. When he reached the limit, the barrier would loosen, and he would enter the next level. He didn’t feel any pain during the breakthrough process, like other ability-users, because his body had already fully mutated.
As for ability-users, their bodies would mutate slightly every time they broke through to another level. Therefore, the higher their level, the longer their lifespan.
Speaking of mutants, there were 3 people in situations similar to Fu Guai’s. Besides Feng Zhen, who had fully mutated, Rong Mo’er and Feng Xiu were only half-mutated.
At this moment, the 2 of them were quarantined inside the Lin’an City Base’s laboratory. Standing outside the room, Gu Shaoze looked at his girlfriend through the glass wall.
Inside the room, Rong Mo’er was tied to the bed with chains. Her red pupils stared coldly at the glass wall. Her skin was now covered with bluish veins and small black spots.
