Chapter 870: The Herders ( 3 )
Hearing her sister’s question, Jiao Lizhi nodded. "I’m afraid the one attacking the base is the bugs. This situation is similar to the attack on the Lin’an City Base."
"In that case, we can’t waste any more time." After she said this, Du Beiye added, "Krayan, find the Sthanam mines."
Both Systems connected to the satellites and scanned the entire Turtle Island. Twenty minutes later, Gaia’s voice echoed in Jiao Lizhi’s mind.
"Host, one of the mines is located under the mountain, 28 kilometers away from here. Another one is located at the mountain ridge near the western border."
Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi checked the map and realized that the second Sthanam mine was located right at the area where Fu Shenghan received Wen Hanyu’s message.
She exchanged glances with her sister, and both of them nodded. Du Beiye took out a motorbike from her inventory and said, "Sister, hop on."
Looking at the all-black motorbike, Jiao Lizhi smiled and said, "I never expected you to still have it."
"This is a gift from you. I always bring it with me wherever I go."
After her sister sat in the back seat, Du Beiye turned on the engine and said, "Hold tight. We are going!"
Before her words fell, the motorbike let out a low engine roar and disappeared from the spot. This motorbike was built using the Tarakam Civilization’s latest technology.
Using Sthanam crystals as fuel, its speed was several times faster than military aircraft, reaching more than 30,000 km/h.
While this speed was impossible on the Blue Planet, it was a normal speed in the Tarakam Civilization. After all, even for daily life, most citizens traveled using space portals. Even commercial spacecraft already use the speed of light to travel between planets.
The two of them wore battle suits and didn’t feel anything from the speed. It only took them a few seconds to reach the mountain.
After she turned off the engine, Du Beiye stored the motorbike in her inventory and asked, "Sister, is this the place?"
Before Jiao Lizhi could answer, they heard a rumbling sound coming from the mountain foothills. The two of them activated the invisibility function of their battle suits and sneaked closer.
At this moment, a group of guards was talking with a burly man. Although they had never met Borislav Morozov in person, they had seen his picture before.
"Why is he here?" Du Beiye muttered with a frown.
Jiao Lizhi thought for a moment and said, "It seems that this place is under the Organization’s control. Let’s go back and inform our team first."
If their goal was to sneak into the facility and destroy it, they could do it right now. But since they wanted to take the Sthanam crystals away, they needed their members’ help.
Jiao Lizhi didn’t dare to risk her safety by forcefully taking the crystals right now. What if she lost consciousness again?
That would put her in a vulnerable position, and she might be caught by the Organization. If she fell into the Matkuna Race’s hands, she could expect to end up as their experimental subject.
Du Beiye also knew the risk and nodded in agreement. They sneaked away and returned to their team, driving the motorbike.
Meanwhile, Li Sikai and his team had found the place where a group of mutants was hiding.
After they turned off the motorbikes’ engines, Feng Yun put them into his space before he asked, "Brother Sikai, should we go in?"
Li Sikai looked at the surroundings and nodded. This train station had long lost power and was surrounded by darkness. The members took out flashlights and entered the underground station.
The walls were covered with dried blood, mud, and rotten flesh. Due to the lack of ventilation and heating, the air was humid, and the temperature was higher than outside.
The thick, rancid stench hit their faces the moment they pushed open the glass door. Besides the rancid stench, they also smelled a hint of rust—it was the scent of blood.
As they walked further, the men’s expressions changed instantly. Mixed in the air was a musky, slightly fishy smell unique to the mixture of men’s and women’s bodily fluids during intercourse.
Although Pei Yixie had vast knowledge due to her great academic pursuits, she had zero knowledge in this field. She frowned when she smelled the scent.
She pinched her nose and said with a muffled voice, "This place must have rotten fish. This smell is killing me."
The moment Fu Guai heard this, his eyes flickered for a moment. He glanced at her and took out his handkerchief from his pocket.
He handed it to her and said, "Use it to cover your nose."
Hearing his thoughts, Pei Yixie didn’t refuse. After she covered her nose with his handkerchief, she felt much better.
The handkerchief carried his unique scent, the faint scent of pine and earth after the rain. It made her feel calm and relaxed. Unconsciously, she took several deep breaths and let out a sigh.
While she didn’t think anything was wrong with this, the men glanced at Fu Guai, while he averted his gaze and turned his head to the side. They noticed that the tips of his ears had turned red and looked at him teasingly.
As they walked further into the underground train station, Li Sikai heard a faint conversation coming from the distance. He raised his hand and gestured for his team members to stop.
He made some hand gestures, and they nodded. They turned off their flashlights, lightened their steps, and walked close to the wall. With the darkness surrounding them, they controlled their breaths to lower their presence.
Hiding behind the wall, Li Sikai took a peek and saw three men sitting around a small table. They were playing cards while eating some jerky.
From a distance, the meat jerky looked like normal jerky. But considering the lack of supplies and the strength of the mutant beasts, the possibility of that jerky being made from mutant beasts was low.
