Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space

Chapter 773: Unexpected Opportunity

When Jin Xuyan saw the mutant animals and the Matkuna soldiers aim their attacks at his fiancée, rage surged from his heart. In an instant, his eyes turned red, and countless shadow clones emerged from the ground.

As the red moonlight illuminated the ground, the shadow clones turned into flashes of shadows and harvested the heads of the mutant animals and Matkuna soldiers as if they were cabbages.

In just a few seconds, Jin Xuyan arrived. As he leaped into the air, he caught his fiancée and held her close to his body.

With the shadow clones killing the surrounding enemies, he raised his hand, and a black flame dragon flew forward at high speed, burning everything in front of him and turning it into ashes. Even the Matkuna soldiers were not spared from the attack.

Seeing an opening, he rushed forward and leaped onto the metal wall. As soon as they entered the barrier, he held his fiancée’s hand and used his energy to check her condition.

Aside from some internal injuries, her energy was completely depleted. With a wave of his hand, Jin Xuyan absorbed the black flame back into his body.

The moment the black flame entered his body, he transferred the energy into his fiancée. After healing her injuries, he tried to wake her up.

"Ah Zhi, can you hear me? Ah Zhi!"

Despite his calls, Jiao Lizhi showed no sign of waking up. When the members saw this, Su Ruanyi came over and said, "Captain, I will take Sister Jiao back first."

Jin Xuyan knew that no matter how worried he was, he couldn’t leave now while the enemies were attacking relentlessly. After a moment, he nodded and said, "Take good care of her."

"Understood."

After Su Ruanyi carried Jiao Lizhi away, Jin Xuyan returned his focus to the battle.

Even though he didn’t know where the barrier came from, it must have something to do with his fiancée. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have fallen into a coma for no rhyme or reason.

Since that was the case, he would end this battle as soon as possible. He couldn’t afford a prolonged battle in case the damage blocked by the barrier caused his fiancée to remain in a coma.

While the battle raged on, Jiao Lizhi’s consciousness was trapped inside the void. Like before, she floated above her Space and saw everything clearly.

Besides the situation inside her Space, she was also able to see the situation outside. It was as if her eyes could penetrate everything.

She looked around and noticed a faint light in the distance. Turning back to her Space, she realized that the light emitted by the Sthanam crystal was similar to the light in the distance.

"Did this city also have Sthanam crystal?" she muttered to herself.

The crystals planted in her Space were found in Luyang City, so the possibility that Lunar City also had Sthanam crystals was not zero.

Driven by curiosity, she floated toward the light. She didn’t know how long she had been floating before reaching the source.

Looking down, she saw a massive cave underground. Jiao Lizhi didn’t know how deep it was, as the light was faint.

Without a physical body, her consciousness passed through soil, stone, water, and metal, continuing downward. It felt as though she had been flying for a very long time before finally reaching the source of the light.

Seeing the vast expanse of black crystals before her, Jiao Lizhi was stunned. "Is this the reason why the Matkuna General insisted on attacking Lunar City?"

She didn’t know whether this was a dream or reality. But for her to find so many Sthanam crystals, it must be fate. No matter the reason, she wouldn’t leave even a single piece behind for those bugs.

Without these crystals, they wouldn’t have enough energy to activate the Space Portal. This way, they wouldn’t be able to send more soldiers to Earth.

"Those who come shouldn’t think of leaving!" With that thought, she raised her hands and said, "Collect!"

She didn’t know whether she could collect the crystals in her current state or not, and could only try. Unexpectedly, the moment she formed the thought, something inside her body became restless.

Before she could understand what was happening, a powerful suction appeared, with her body as the source.

In the next moment, the crystals were torn from the ground and flew toward her at high speed. Unlike her usual method of collection, the crystals entered her body directly, as if it were a bottomless vessel.

Jiao Lizhi was terrified, but she couldn’t do anything to stop it. At that moment, unbearable pain spread throughout her body. The pain tore not only at her body but also at her soul.

She gritted her teeth and endured it, but it was too much. In the end, she couldn’t help letting out a scream as the absorption speed increased.

"Argghh!"

While her soul and consciousness were on the brink of collapse, her body lay quietly on the bed. Su Ruanyi stared at her but saw no reaction. Unable to leave her side, she sat beside the bed and began recovering her energy.

On the tenth day of the battle, inside Jiao Lizhi’s Space, Jiang Ziyi looked at the Sthanam crystals planted across the grassland and asked, "Gaia, how much energy does the system have left?"

After a moment of silence, a mechanical voice echoed through the Space. "System energy level: Maximum. System energy reserve: Maximum. System energy recharge in process."

Hearing this, Jiang Ziyi frowned and said, "Krayan, report your status."

Soon after, another mechanical voice echoed through the Space. It sounded similar, but with a lower tone.

"System energy level: ninety-five percent. System energy reserve: ninety-nine percent. System energy recharge in process."

"Check the link between the Hosts," Jiang Ziyi said.

This time, Gaia and Krayan replied in unison. "System status: Connected. Communication status: Blocked. Energy source: Shared."

After hearing the report, Jiang Ziyi muttered with concern, "It has been ten days. Why hasn’t Fengyan woken up?"
