Chapter 735: Borrowing Supplies ( 1 )
The moment she opened the small office door, Jiao Lizhi was pulled into a warm embrace. Before she could say a word, her lips were blocked by soft, cold lips.
Smelling the familiar mint scent, she relaxed her body and let him deepen the kiss. The two of them kissed for a while before they parted.
As they hugged, she asked him, "Brother Yan, what’s wrong?"
The image of Du Beiye’s mobile suit and those aliens flashed in Jin Xuyan’s mind when he heard his fiancée’s words.
He didn’t know what their background was, but he had a feeling that he might be losing her if he didn’t hold on to her. The thought of living in a world without her terrified him.
After a long silence, he finally said, "I just miss you."
Jiao Lizhi felt her fiancé was in a bad mood. But if he didn’t want to tell her, she wouldn’t pry into his secrets. Patting his back gently, she said, "I miss you, too. But we still have a lot of things to do. Let’s take a bath first."
"Okay."
The two of them entered her space and took a quick shower. After they changed into more casual clothes, they reappeared in the room.
Fortunately, the combat suits were made with advanced nanotechnology. There was a protective barrier layer, making the suits easy to clean. They only needed to wash them with warm water and dry them.
When Jiao Lizhi and Jin Xuyan came down, the members had prepared dinner. The dinner was simple but generous in portion.
Before leaving the Lin’an City Base, Mother Shen gave 500 scallion pancakes and 500 steamed buns to Shen Jinzhe, which were stored in Feng Yun’s space. So, the members only prepared 2 big pots of egg drop soup.
The members were famished, and they ate more than 100 scallion pancakes. Each pancake was as big as a plate, and most of them ate at least 3 pieces and drank 2 bowls of soup before they were 70% full.
As their ability level increased, their appetite also increased, as their bodies produced more energy and their metabolism became higher.
After they finished their meal, the Phantom Team members rested for 2 hours and absorbed some energy from the Sthanam crystal.
When they were done, they had fully recovered. Even without sleep, as long as they absorbed the black crystal’s energy, their fatigue from not sleeping would disappear.
Since they no longer needed to fight, everyone just wore casual clothes.
Although the distance from their temporary residence to the health center area was not too far, Jiao Lizhi still took out bicycles from her space. Each member had one, and they went to find Yin Yusheng and Gao Bohai on bicycles.
When they arrived at the vast hall, it was already 8 o’clock in the evening. They parked their bicycles and walked into the hall.
The moment the survivors saw a group of Huaxia’s people, they knew that this was the reinforcement team sent to save them.
Jin Xuyan and the members looked around and noticed that besides the Tsardom Empire’s citizens, there were also a lot of Huaxia’s citizens.
When these people saw them, they quickly walked over, and one of them asked, "Comrade, are you sent by the government to bring us back?"
Shaking his head, Jin Xuyan replied, "We are a mercenary team hired by the Commander of the Lin’an City Base. Our mission is to provide support for Lunar Base, not to bring you all back."
"How could that be? The government won’t abandon us. You must be the soldiers," a middle-aged man said in disbelief.
Hearing this, Xiao Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Old man, there is no longer a government in Huaxia. The Capital has fallen, and the higher-ups were either dead or escaped to save their own lives."
"Right now, there are several bases built by prominent families or ability-users. Even if you go back, you still have to work hard to survive. Don’t think of leeching off others," he added.
The moment he finished his words, everyone was dumbfounded. They thought that Huaxia would be the same as the Tsardom Empire. Unexpectedly, the country had fallen.
Hearing their thoughts, Pei Yixie frowned and said, "Although the central government is no longer there, Huaxia is still there. We still have our home country; it’s just that the method of governing the people has changed."
Hearing this, Feng Yun took out several small booklets from his space. He distributed the booklets to them and said, "Everyone, although there is no longer a central government, there are a lot of strong bases in Huaxia. For example, the Lin’an City Base."
"While it couldn’t be called the strongest in the entire country, it is the richest for sure. This is the booklet printed by the Lin’an City Base. You can read the rules and regulations used by them. If you are interested in joining their base, you can follow us back later."
Soon after he finished his words, Lustin Volkov walked over. "Captain Jin, can I also have one of the booklets?" he asked.
Feng Yun glanced at his Captain. When he saw him nod, he handed one booklet to Lustin Volkov.
Opening the booklet, he read for a moment before he said, "Such a wonderful method."
He put the booklet in his pocket before he asked, "Captain Jin, what brings you here?"
Jin Xuyan had already observed the situation in the hall and said, "I came to check on my members."
When he heard this, Lustin Volkov nodded and said, "Thanks to your team members, a lot of people were able to survive. They are currently treating people. Please follow me."
The Phantom Team followed him and went to the corner area, where several curtains were used as screens and created several separate rooms.
"Captain Jin, these rooms are used as temporary operating rooms. Your members are treating people inside," Lustin Volkov explained.
Just after he finished his words, Gao Bohai’s voice came from inside. "The patient is starting to wake up. Give him more anesthetic."
