Chapter 843: Negotiation ( 9 )
Feeling the intense pain in his chest, Pei Gan stared at Jiang Ziyi and muttered in horror, "Who are you?"
Hearing this, the coldness in Jiang Ziyi’s eyes intensified. He twisted the dagger and said slowly, "A dead man has no need to know too much."
As soon as he finished his words, the dagger pierced into Pei Gan’s heart. Unlike before, the moment the tip of the dagger touched his heart, it emitted an extreme heat, melting his heart in a matter of seconds.
Before he could even do anything, he had breathed his last.
"Host, there is no more sign of life coming from the target. The crystal core had formed."
Jiang Ziyi grabbed Pei Gan’s head, and with a swift movement, he beheaded him cleanly.
Under the horrified gazes of the mutants, he crushed the head and took out a crystal core the size of a thumbnail. The crystal core was transparent, but when one looked closely, it was actually a seven-colored crystal core.
He held the crystal core for a while before he said, "Jiva, integrate this crystal core with the main system."
"Understood."
The next moment, the crystal core disappeared from his palm, and a mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
"Integration in process... Integration completed. Main system’s status: fully activated. Energy level: 100%. All features activated. Soul link: connected."
Now that he had taken back what was his, Jiang Ziyi had no intention of wasting time with the mutants. He turned to look at them and said, "Those who wish to live, take out the tracking chip by yourself."
When the mutants heard his words, they knew that if they didn’t follow his order, there was only one end for them, which was death. But if they removed the tracker, it was equal to betraying the Organization, and they would have to live the rest of their lives as wanted criminals.
The mutants exchanged glances for a while before one of them pulled out his dagger and swiftly slashed his own nape. Gritting his teeth, he bore the pain and pulled out the tracker.
Seeing that someone actually chose to betray the Organization, the rest started to waver. They thought for a moment and decided to follow suit. Out of 500 people, only 176 people survived the process of removing the trackers. The rest died on the spot.
Jiang Ziyi let out a chuckle as he watched them with amusement.
When the mutants heard his perverted laugh, they thought that he would kill them. Unexpectedly, after laughing for a while, the masked man disappeared from the spot, leaving them behind.
At the same time, both Jiao Lizhi and Du Beiye felt dizzy and fell to the ground. They couldn’t move for a few minutes.
Fortunately, they were with their team members. The moment the members noticed their conditions, they protected the two of them in the middle of their formation.
When they regained their senses, they heard their System’s voices.
"Patch completed. Main system status: fully activated. Energy level: 100%. All features activated. Soul link: connected."
Feeling confused, Du Beiye asked, "Krayan, what is the meaning of this?"
"Host, the last patch of the main system has been completed. Now the system won’t be running on emergency procedures."
"What about the soul link?" Du Beiye asked again.
"The soul link has been established and won’t be cut off unless the main system initiates the procedure."
Jiao Lizhi frowned and asked, "Gaia, what about this main system? Aren’t you and Krayan the main system?"
"Both Krayan and I are just subsidiary systems. We are running under the main system’s order. The main system is known as Jiva."
"Jiva? You mean the Great Commander’s long-lost system? When did the main system activate? Who is the current host?" She was shocked.
This time, Gaia didn’t give her any explanation and only said, "Jiva could only be activated by the Great Commander and only follow his command."
The moment she heard this, Jiao Lizhi understood everything. "Jiang Ziyi, what the hell are you doing?" she muttered softly.
While they were still trying to find out what was going on, the battle against the zombie horde continued. Thanks to the Phantom Team’s strategy of killing the high-level zombies commanding the horde, the attack finally ended after 15 days.
On the 16th day after the reinforcement from the Lin’an City Base arrived at Sanchou Base, the last zombie was killed.
After a prolonged battle, the Sanchou Base’s wall was on the brink of collapse. Besides the wall, the number of injured mutants was also very high. The only good thing was that they obtained a lot of level 3, level 4, and even level 5 crystal cores.
While the subordinates were busy collecting the crystal cores, the leaders were having a meeting in the presidential suite of the tallest building.
Since this was not a formal meeting room, everyone was sitting on the couches.
Besides Jin Xuyan and Jiao Lizhi, who were eating scallion pancakes with ease, the rest of the people were observing each other closely. The tension in the air was high.
Not long after, the door was opened, and Wen Hanli walked into the room. Seeing him, Jiao Lizhi smiled and nodded at him.
Wen Hanli returned her greeting before he took his seat and said, "I’m sorry for making everyone wait. My name is Wen Hanli, the Vice Commander of the Lin’an City Base. Since everyone is here, let’s start the meeting."
As soon as he said this, his secretary distributed a folder to everyone. Opening the folder, everyone read the document.
After a while, Mo Junlong put the folder on the coffee table and said, "Vice Commander Wen, your base only sent reinforcements in the middle of the battle. What makes you think that we will agree to your demands?"
When he heard this, Wen Hanli smiled and replied, "My base indeed didn’t participate since the beginning of the battle. But nor did your team."
After a moment of pause, he continued, "As everyone knows, the Phantom Team is the one who contributes the most to defending Sanchou Base. They are part of my base, and therefore, it made sense for us to ask for 80% of the crystal cores."
"Even so, my side lost a lot of men. We should at least get 40%," Mo Junzi said.
