Chapter 910 910: The New Dawn ( 6 )
Du Beiye looked at her sister and asked, "Sister, do you still have your space?"
Jiao Lizhi tried and shook her head. "How about you?"
"I also no longer have my inventory and warehouse."
Since they no longer had any food on hand, they could only leave the room and find something in the kitchen.
The moment Shen Jinyue saw them, she exclaimed in joy, "Sister-in-law, Sister Du, you are finally awake!"
"How's the situation on the front line?" Du Beiye asked.
While Du Beiye went to the kitchen to find something to eat, Shen Jinyue told them about the current situation.
Jiao Lizhi let out a sigh and said, "I never expected that Beiye and I would be sleeping for so long."
"Sister-in-law, you don't know how dangerous the situation was. I heard from the guards that when the red planet appeared, disasters happened all around the world."
"We didn't know what caused the massive space portal to disappear suddenly. But thanks to that, we survived this calamity. Otherwise, our planet might have turned into dust by now."
Hearing her words, Jiao Lizhi and Du Beiye went silent. They knew that everything that had happened before was thanks to Jiang Ziyi. If he hadn't sacrificed himself, this planet would have become an energy source for the Matkuna planet, like their home planet.
They ate in silence while Shen Jinyue continued talking. After the meal, they took a shower and changed into a set of clean clothes.
"Sister-in-law, Sister Du, are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital for a check-up?"
"No need. We are fine," Du Beiye shook her head.
Since they had said so, Shen Jinyue didn't insist. Now that they had woken up, she returned to her home to help her parents. As for the sisters, they went to find their team members.
At this moment, the Phantom Team was resting after they killed a group of mutant beasts. When they saw the sisters, everyone was surprised but delighted.
Mo Junjie walked over and checked Du Beiye from head to toe. After he was sure that she was not injured, he asked, "How are you feeling?"
Du Beiye smiled and replied, "I'm feeling great." Then, she pulled him to the side and told him everything that had happened before she fainted.
After learning what had happened, Mo Junjie pressed his lips into a straight line. He stared at her for a long time before he said, "Beiye, you are very important to me. Please, before you do anything dangerous, can you inform me?"
Seeing his expression, Du Beiye was confused. But as his good brother, she wouldn't be petty and promised him, "Okay. I will tell you everything from now on."
Mo Junjie held her hands tightly and said, "Thank you for being alive."
Du Beiye felt that he was being dramatic and sighed. "Why are you acting as if your mother just survived a calamity?"
"It's not my mother, but my wife," Mo Junjie corrected her in a very low voice.
Even as a mutant, Du Beiye couldn't hear him clearly and asked, "What did you say?"
He shook his head and rubbed her head. "Nothing," he said with a gentle smile.
Meanwhile, Jin Xuyan also learned what happened from his fiancée. He intertwined their fingers as they talked. Unlike Mo Junjie, he didn't say anything about her decision since he had watched the video she left for him.
After a moment of silence, he said, "From today onwards, everything will be fine. All the Matkuna Race has been eliminated, and the zombies are showing signs of weakening."
"The zombies are actually getting weaker?" Jiao Lizhi was surprised.
Jin Xuyan nodded and replied, "We caught one, and Mo Junjie did some tests on it. He found an unknown energy slowly devouring the zombie virus."
"If they weaken, doesn't that mean we won't be able to get crystal cores anymore?"
He smiled helplessly when he heard her words and flicked her forehead lightly. "You only focus on that?"
"Of course. It's very important!"
During the battle, she distributed the crystal cores to the mutants, and she lost all of the Sthanam crystals planted in her space. Now, the only crystal cores she had were those stored in the warehouses.
"Those are consumable." She thought for a moment and said, "Brother Yan, before the zombies lose their power, how about we go out and hunt them down?"
Jin Xuyan considered her suggestion for a moment before nodding. "Alright. I will inform our members. We will depart tomorrow."
"But I no longer have a space," she added dejectedly.
Looking at her pouting, Jin Xuyan chuckled and said, "I will find a spatial ring or necklace for you."
The moment she heard this, Jiao Lizhi's eyes lit up. She hugged him and said, "Thank you, Brother Yan!"
To save time, they informed the members and departed early the next morning.
When Xun Che received the report, he could only rub his temples and complain, "They really know how to get the most benefits."
A few days later, the base announced the discovery regarding the zombie virus. When the mercenary teams learned the news, they quickly departed to hunt the zombies.
Thanks to their efforts, a large number of zombies, zombie animals, and mutant beasts were eliminated in just a few months.
During this period, the news of Xun Che's hot pursuit of Shang Yuanling was as hot as celebrity gossip. It was only recently that the beauty finally agreed to become his girlfriend.
When everyone thought that they had finally been able to change the topic, the news of Xun Che proposing to his girlfriend soon after they got together shook the entire base.
Every time someone asked why he was in such a rush, Xun Che only told them that he was afraid that he would be too old to have children if he waited any longer.
In the midst of the excitement, the base rebuilding process went as planned. As the zombie virus was slowly purified by the unknown energy, the future of the human race was bright.
On a sunny day, 6 months after the alien invasion, Jiao Lizhi was tending the vegetables she planted on the balcony.
Her new wood-type ability could not only be used for attack and defense, but also had healing properties and hastened the growth of plants.
Since the zombies had regressed to Level Two and Level One, the Phantom Team no longer went out to hunt them.
Most of the time, the members would accept missions from the base to eliminate mutant beasts or mutant plants. When they didn't go out for a mission, they would spend time with their friends and family.
After the Mo was finally almost wiped out by the natural disaster and alien invasion, they joined the Lin'an City Base, which is now known as the New Dawn Base.
Mo Junjie and Mo Lingshen still refused to returned to their family and treated them as stranger. Even until now, Du Beiye was still staying with them.
No one know whether she would end up with Mo Junjie or they would stay as close friends. But from the information found by Xiao Qi, Mo Junjie shown a clear intention of progressing their relationship further while Du Beiye still stay clueless as usual.
As for Jiao Lizhi and Jin Xuyan, they were finally able to enjoy their retirement early. The supplies she stored in the warehouse were more than enough for them to last a lifetime.
To avoid wasting resources, she sold them to the base and earned crystal cores. Afterward, she divided the crystal cores among the members equally.
Jin Xuyan also fulfilled his promise and gave her a spatial bracelet with an area of 2,000 square meters. She stored all the crystal cores inside her spatial bracelet and became the wealthiest woman in the entire base.
She had just finished harvesting some fresh tomatoes when she heard her fiancé's footsteps. Carrying the basket, she greeted him with a smile, "Brother Yan, you returned early today."
Jin Xuyan hugged her and gave her a kiss before he asked, "Ah Zhi, do you have time tomorrow?"
"I have no plan for tomorrow," she nodded.
"Then, can you accompany me to visit a place?"
"Sure."
Although she didn't know what he wanted, Jiao Lizhi had a feeling that her fiancé was hiding something from her. Holding back her curiosity, she spent the rest of the day with him, watching old movies.
The next day, she was woken up early by Jin Xuyan. After being urged to wash up and change into a new dress he bought for her, they left their home and went to the central ring area.
When they arrived, Jin Xuyan held her hand and led her into the building.
This building was a chapel before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, it was used as a clinic. But after the expansion of the base, this building's function was restored to a chapel.
As soon as she entered the hall, Jiao Lizhi's heart skipped a beat. She looked at the flowers and ribbons decorating the benches and the candlesticks.
Suddenly, a thought flashed in her mind, and she looked at her white dress. Then, she looked at her fiancé's neat suit.
When they stood on the platform, Jin Xuyan held her hands and looked at her. Noticing her reddened eyes, he smiled and knelt on one knee.
He took out a small black velvet box from his pocket and opened it. Inside was a pair of wedding rings adorned with blue and black diamonds.
Jiao Lizhi was stunned by the simple yet elegant rings.
"Ah Zhi, we have missed each other for 99 lifetimes. In our last life, I witnessed you being devoured alive in front of me, yet I was unable to do anything to save you."
"In those lifetimes, I spent hundreds of years living like a living dead, regretting my weakness, hating the world for taking you away from me. In this lifetime, I am finally able to fulfill my promise to protect you."
He took a deep breath to suppress his emotions and continued, "Ah Zhi, I'm sorry for making you wait for so long."
He looked straight into her eyes and asked tremblingly, "Jiao Lizhi, will you give me the honor of marrying you and becoming your husband?"
Jiao Lizhi felt as if she were in a dream. She didn't even realize that she was crying. She nodded and whispered, "Jin Xuyan, I'm willing to marry you and be your wife."
After she said this, a smile bloomed on Jin Xuyan's face. He took the ring and put it on her ring finger. His hands were shaking from his nervousness.
Seeing this, Jiao Lizhi chuckled.
She stared at the beautiful black diamond ring and reached out to pull him up. Then, she knelt on one knee and put the blue diamond ring on his ring finger.
"Husband, thank you for never given up on me."
As soon as she finished, she was pulled into his warm embrace.
Under the soft sunlight pouring through the colorful glass windows, they shared a long, deep kiss that bound not only their promise to each other, but also their souls.
Jin Xuyan: In this lifetime and every lifetime to come, I promise to find and protect you for the rest of my existence.
Jiao Lizhi: In this lifetime and every lifetime to come, I promise to stay by your side and be your support for the rest of my existence.
