Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space

Chapter 779: Double Breakthrough ( 2 )

Hearing this, she rushed to the second floor. But before she could touch the door handle, an energy wave pushed her back.

Feeling the familiar aura from inside, her eyes widened as she exclaimed, "Gaia is upgrading?"

"Host, judging from the situation, the probability of Gaia upgrading the System is 99%."

"To upgrade the System, the energy required would be massive. My sister sustained the entire System barrier by herself. Where did she get the energy to upgrade the System?" Du Beiye asked in disbelief.

This time, Krayan had no answer and fell silent.

Even without answers, Du Beiye knew her sister couldn’t be disturbed. To ensure her safety, she sat down and guarded the door.

When Mo Junjie arrived, he saw her sitting there like a statue.

"Beiye, what are you doing here?" he asked, with a hint of amusement in his tone.

Recognizing his voice, Du Beiye opened her eyes and looked at him. "I’m guarding my sister."

Raising his eyebrows, Mo Junjie squatted in front of her and said, "You’ve been fighting for so many days. Aren’t you tired?"

"I can rest while guarding my sister."

Meeting her gaze, he knew her stubbornness was flaring up again. Reaching out, he held her hand and pulled her up. "With so many brothers and sisters living under the same roof, are you still worried someone might harm your sister?"

"Alright, stop frowning. Go wash up first, then we can have a meal together," he added, flicking her forehead lightly.

Du Beiye stared at him with suspicion. She felt that after the battle, this person had suddenly begun to behave differently. Before, even though they were close, he still treated her like a brother.

But today, why did his actions feel similar to how her Captain treated her sister?

All of his actions exuded intimacy. When she met his gaze, Du Beiye felt her heart skip a beat. What kind of gaze is that?!

"W-why are you looking at me like that?" she asked, eyes widened.

Mo Junjie was taken aback by her reaction. He looked at her in confusion and asked, "What do you mean by that? I’m looking at you as usual."

The two of them stared at each other, both lost and confused. After a long silence, Mo Junjie finally broke it. "Alright, go wash up first. I’m hungry."

Du Beiye glanced at him once more before heading to her room. At the same time, Mo Junjie also went to take a shower.

After the members had their meal together, they returned to their beds and fell asleep as soon as their heads touched the pillows.

For the next ten days, Chen Qianxiao’s team and the Lunar Base guards were busy clearing out the battlefield. The snow was still falling without any sign of stopping, and they were running out of firewood and coal.

Although the situation during the siege was dangerous, at least they had a lot of fuel now.

When Andrei Stroganova learned that the Silver Snake team wanted to use the zombie corpses as fuel, he rejected the idea due to the risk of infection. But after more and more people fell sick and caught pneumonia, he had no other choice but to agree.

They burned the zombie corpses to generate heat that kept the pipes from freezing so the water supply was not cut off. Besides that, the heat was distributed using underground pipes to keep the temperature inside several main buildings warm.

The population of Lunar Base was not high, so even when all of the survivors lived in several buildings together, it was not too crowded.

As for the damaged metal wall, they could only dispatch the ability-users to repair it. Since no one was able to create metal, Wen Kai and Wen Mo were also sent to help.

The rest of the Phantom Team members also offered their assistance to patrol, provide water, help in the health center, and investigate the situation outside the base.

At this moment, there were only Du Beiye, Mo Junjie, Li Qixuan, and Fu Guai staying at their temporary residence to guard Jiao Lizhi and Jin Xuyan.

While the four of them were busy with their own things, an explosion was heard coming from the second floor, followed by a strong gust of energy waves.

BOOM!

The commotion alerted them, and they rushed over to check the situation. When they arrived, they saw that the wall and the rooftop had been blasted away.

Floating in mid-air, both Jiao Lizhi and Jin Xuyan’s bodies were enveloped by a blue light, with black mist swirling around them.

After a few minutes, the energy fluctuation finally stopped. The blue light was absorbed by Jiao Lizhi, while the black mist entered Jin Xuyan’s body.

Seeing this, Du Beiye broke into a bright smile. "They had a breakthrough."

Not long after, the two of them finally opened their eyes. At first, Jiao Lizhi was still in a daze, unable to discern between reality and dreams.

During the period of her system upgrade, she had regained all of her previous life’s memories. During her 98 lifetimes, she was entangled with Jin Xuyan for 97 lifetimes.

Only in her first lifetime since she arrived on Earth did they have nothing to do with each other. But even so, he had died to save her life. Perhaps she owed him so much that she was no longer able to pay him back in one lifetime.

She didn’t know why, but from the moment he died for her, their fate became intertwined, so that in every lifetime, it was either she died for him or he died for her. They were never able to grow old together.

It took her a while to regain her senses and realize that her room was destroyed. Before she could react, a pair of arms wrapped around her waist and carried her down.

Seeing that both of them were unharmed, Du Beiye said, "Sister, Captain, both of you finally woke up. I was worried that something bad might happen to you."
