The moment he heard that the crystal core was gone, the man kicked the guard and scolded, "Continue to search! If you can’t find the core, all of you will pay with your lives!"
Although they felt unhappy, no one dared to go against that man. The group continued to search, but after spending two hours, they still found nothing.
In his rage, the man killed three of the guards before he calmed down. He turned to the group and said, "Bring that thing back!"
After saying these words, he went to the car and left. The group had no other choice but to transport the mutant plant into the truck and carry it back to the laboratory. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
As for the corpses of the guards, they could only remove the protective suits from the cold bodies and left them in the snow.
Inside the space, both Jiao Lizhi and Jin Xuyan were sleeping after their injuries were treated. As for Jiang Ziyi, he was currently absorbing the Sthanam crystal’s energy in the grassland area.
He sat near the black crystal with crossed legs and closed eyes. His body was relaxed and enveloped by a faint blue light. When his face was no longer pale, he finally let out a long breath and opened his eyes.
He stood up and stretched his body for a moment before he said with a sigh, "These crystals are indeed extraordinary. Just absorbing some of them, I can fully recover my energy."
Soon after, Jiang Ziyi noticed a change in the space and said, "Gaia, what’s going on?"
"Great Commander, the Host is currently undergoing a breakthrough process. The space will be upgraded soon."
Hearing this, Jiang Ziyi rubbed his chin and said, "This child’s luck is always extraordinary. I thought she was facing a disaster. Unexpectedly, it’s a blessing in disguise."
After a moment of pause, he added, "Gaia, activate level two upgrade protocol and ensure the Host’s safety."
"Activating level two upgrade protocol. System energy consumption will be reduced to ten percent. Upgrade in process."
The moment the mechanical voice echoed, the entire space was plunged into darkness. Except for the faint glow coming from the Sthanam crystal, there were no other sources of light.
Due to the sudden darkness, the mutant animals became restless and started growling and howling.
Raising his hand, Jiang Ziyi circulated his energy, and the next second, a beam of blue light shot toward the sky at high speed. When it hit the transparent barrier, the blue light exploded and merged with the barrier.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, the area where it was hit glowed with blue light and spread further.
Five minutes later, the barrier was covered with the blue energy, and soon, the entire space was illuminated with a soft, dim blue light. Although it was not as bright as usual, with the darkness dispelled, the mutant animals finally calmed down.
When he was done, Jiang Ziyi patted his palms and returned to the house. From afar, the house was brightly lit thanks to the lamps.
He didn’t know when both Jiao Lizhi and Jin Xuyan would wake up, so he went to practice his cooking skills. Since she asked him to cook, he would make sure she liked his cooking.
At the same time, in Wanling City, Du Beiye was making a phone call.
