Chapter 776: 99th Lifetimes ( 1 )
Ten minutes later, the young man opened his eyes and said, "It’s okay now."
Noticing his pale face, Su Ruanyi took out a handful of transparent crystal cores and said, "Thank you for your help."
The young man’s eyes flickered when he saw the crystal cores. Just from the clarity, he knew that these crystal cores were of high quality. The impurities in the crystals were almost nonexistent, as the crystals looked like glass.
He indeed needed the crystals, so he didn’t refuse and said, "Thank you."
"It’s me who needs to thank you."
The young man nodded and went to check on another patient. Since Jiao Lizhi was not in danger, Su Ruanyi’s heart was finally at ease.
She sat beside the bed and said, "Sister Jiao, can you wake up soon? Everyone is worried about you."
While everyone was fighting against the Matkuna soldiers, zombies, and mutant animals, Jiao Lizhi was also fighting against her nightmare.
Standing on the rooftop, she looked at her surroundings and saw the familiar faces around her.
The roars of zombies, the clashing of weapons, the sound of explosions in the distance, and the thick scent of blood made her doubt whether all of this was a dream or a reality.
The throbbing headache due to overusing her ability was like a cruel reminder that everything in front of her was not a dream. But a voice inside her was screaming for her to wake up.
While she was gasping for breath, several zombies suddenly pounced at her. As she stared at their sharp nails and teeth, only one thought flashed in her mind.
"This is not a dream! Her team is trapped here and they might not be able to survive until the reinforcements arrive!"
Her mind was screaming for her to dodge, but her body felt so heavy that she couldn’t even move an inch. At this moment, she could only stare at the sharp nails getting closer to her.
When she thought that it was her end, a figure enveloped by darkness suddenly appeared in front of her.
Crash!
She saw the figure crush the zombies’ heads with his bare hands. Black blood and rotten flesh splashed everywhere, thickening the rancid stench in the air.
Jiao Lizhi reached out her hand, trying to grab the figure’s hand. But before she could touch him, he disappeared from the spot, leaving nothing but the zombie corpses.
She was shocked by his sudden disappearance. Turning around, she tried to find him, but he was nowhere. At this moment, her mind was filled with only one thought: to find him at all costs.
When she saw a figure standing at the edge of the rooftop, she rushed over. But before she could reach him, someone grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
"Lizhi, are you crazy?!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Jiao Lizhi snapped out of her thoughts and turned around. Staring at the familiar yet unfamiliar face, it took her a moment to utter, "Vice Captain?"
The person standing in front of her was Li Qixuan.
Two memories flashed in her mind at the same time. Besides the person in front of her, she knew that she had another Vice Captain. But before she could figure out what was going on, she was pulled away by him.
As they retreated to the center of the rooftop, Li Qixuan said, "Everyone, gather in the middle. Ah Hu, build the wall and block them. Xiong-Ge, treat the injured members first!"
"Understood," the people replied in unison.
Standing behind him, Jiao Lizhi slowly regained her senses. She turned her head and asked, "Where is Mo Bingxue?"
Her voice was hoarse, and due to her weakened condition, it was soft.
"What did you say?" Li Qixuan asked as he killed another zombie.
Licking her chapped lips, Jiao Lizhi repeated herself, "Where is Mo Bingxue?"
This time, hearing her voice clearly, Li Qixuan asked back, "Who the hell is that?" After he killed another wave of zombies, he turned to look at her and asked, with worry clear in his eyes, "Lizhi, what’s wrong with you?"
"You didn’t know her? She is our team member. Don’t you like her, too?" Jiao Lizhi asked in confusion.
"I think your head is injured. That’s why you talk such nonsense in this situation," Li Qixuan said with a frown.
Jiao Lizhi wanted to explain to him, but her words were interrupted by the members’ shouts.
"The reinforcement is here!"
"It’s Commander Jin. The Sanchou City Base actually sent people to help!"
Hearing the familiar yet unfamiliar name, Jiao Lizhi turned to the incoming group. When she saw the leading person and the black flame, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head.
"Ugh!" She fell to the ground and let out a painful groan.
With the arrival of the reinforcement, the pressure had lessened. Li Qixuan squatted down to carry her. But just after he held her hand, a pair of arms suddenly snatched her away.
Feeling the familiar embrace, Jiao Lizhi forcefully opened her eyes. Meeting the cold eyes staring at her, she reached out to smooth out his frown and said weakly, "Brother Yan, what took you so long to come? Don’t frown, I’m fine."
The man’s hands stiffened for a moment before he said, "My team will take over from here. All of you should retreat first."
Before Jiao Lizhi lost consciousness, she managed to say, "Brother Yan, be careful."
Noticing the worry and intimacy in her tone, Jin Xuyan frowned deeper. He stared at her for a long time before he carried her to the military chopper.
When Jiao Lizhi opened her eyes, she found herself lying on a bed in an unfamiliar place. She sat up suddenly, startling the man sleeping on the chair beside the bed.
"You finally woke up," Li Qixuan said.
"Brother Qixuan?" Jiao Lizhi asked with doubt.
"It’s me. Did you become stupid after you overused your energy?" he asked as he checked her condition with his energy. "You are fine, just need rest to recover your energy."
