Chapter 778: Double Breakthrough ( 1 )
Jiao Lizhi nodded in understanding after she heard Gaia’s explanation. If she remembered everything, she might go crazy after repeating the same life so many times.
"What about the memories just now?" she asked.
"That’s the memories from the first life after the Host arrived on the Blue Planet."
"Is there a way for me to wake up?" she asked again.
"The Host will wake up naturally after the system’s upgrade process is complete."
"How long will the process take?"
"The current upgrade progress is 31%."
Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi knew that she needed to wait for a few more days. Since she had nothing to do, she decided to watch the memories from her previous lives.
While she was stuck in her deep slumber, the battle against the Matkuna soldiers and zombies was nearing its end.
After Du Beiye killed the last Matkuna Captain, she glanced at the map on her left and said, "Krayan, locate the portal location."
"Locating the space portal. Scanning the area. Location locked."
In less than a minute, a red dot blinked rapidly on the map. Seeing this, Du Beiye flew directly toward the location. With her mobile suit, she reached it in just a few minutes.
Floating in midair, she looked at the vast wasteland and said, "Krayan, activate the missiles. I’m going to blow up this place."
"Host, there are more than 1,000 experiment subjects inside."
"Are they still retaining their consciousness as humans?" she asked.
"According to the data we collected, they have lost consciousness."
"Is there a chance for them to regain their senses?"
"The chance is less than 0.05%."
"So, they are nothing but killing machines. Rather than living like the walking dead, it’s better to send them off and free their souls."
After saying this, she added, "Activate the missiles."
This time, Krayan no longer reminded her. "Activating the missiles in five... four... three... two... one..."
As soon as the countdown hit zero, two missiles were shot out from the back of the mobile suit.
Wush~ Boom! Boom!
The missiles flew at high speed and hit the target in two seconds. The explosions shook the ground, creating a massive mushroom cloud.
With the missiles destroying the underground structure, several explosions occurred below the surface.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Not long after, black smoke rose, and fires broke out. Floating in midair, Du Beiye stared at the massive, deep hole and said, "Check for the portal."
The next moment, a clear view of the structure appeared on the screen. The portal had been blown into pieces, with countless Matkuna soldiers’ mutilated body parts scattered around.
"Check for any survivors."
"Host, there are no survivors detected."
Hearing this, Du Beiye nodded and returned to the base. For her, life and death were common. Before she came to this planet, she had experienced countless battles and witnessed the fall of comrades and friends.
Not all wars ended in victory. They had suffered many losses as well.
When she reached the Lunar Base, she deactivated the mobile suit. A blue light enveloped her body for a moment before disappearing. The next moment, she landed lightly on top of the metal wall.
Standing there, she glanced around and saw the destruction left by the prolonged battle.
This time, everyone looked at her with awe, fear, doubt, and calculation. When she met their gaze, Du Beiye said nothing and leaped from the metal wall.
As soon as she landed, Xiao Qi walked over and asked, "Beiye, are you alright? Is that robot your ability?"
"I’m fine, just tired. How is my sister?"
"We’re going back to check on my sister-in-law. Are you coming?" he asked.
"Let’s go," Du Beiye nodded.
Since the battle had ended, the Phantom Team no longer stayed behind and rushed back to the base. They wanted to check on Jiao Lizhi’s condition.
As for the cleanup, wasn’t there still the Silver Snake Team and the Lunar Base officers? They should be able to handle everything.
At the same time, Jin Xuyan had already arrived at their temporary residence. Since Jiao Lizhi was sleeping, she didn’t need to stay in the Health Center for further observation.
The moment he entered the house, he walked into their room and saw his fiancée sleeping soundly on the bed.
Seeing him, Su Ruanyi stood up and said, "Captain."
Jin Xuyan nodded and replied, "Thank you for guarding her. You can rest now."
Su Ruanyi nodded and left the room.
After they were alone, Jin Xuyan sat at the edge of the bed and held her hand. Using his energy, he checked her condition.
Unlike zombies and Mutants, ability-users’ energy cores only turned into crystals when they were on the verge of death. If they died before the crystal formed, their energy would disperse. Therefore, most ability-users didn’t leave behind crystal cores even after death.
But now, Jin Xuyan discovered a tiny crystal, about the size of a grain of rice, in his fiancée’s brain. Curious, he touched it with his energy.
At first, he only intended to poke it, but the moment his energy connected to the crystal, a surge of power rushed out and poured into his body.
The sudden burst caught him off guard. He tried to cut off the connection and pull his energy back, but it was as if the energy were alive, clinging to him tightly.
As it flooded his body, Jin Xuyan felt tearing pain everywhere. If this continued, he would explode.
Cold sweat drenched his body as he forced himself to focus, circulating the energy and attempting a breakthrough. As long as he actively used it, the excess energy wouldn’t be enough to blow him apart.
With this thought, he relaxed and allowed the energy to enter him. The moment he began the breakthrough, a layer of blue energy and black mist enveloped both of their bodies.
Meanwhile, Du Beiye and the rest of the Phantom Team finally arrived. The moment she stepped into the living room, Krayan’s voice echoed in her mind.
"Host, a massive energy fluctuation has been detected from the second floor."
