CHAPTER 384: TRAP ( 11 )

As the energy flowed toward Jiao Lizhi’s direction, Fu Guai suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. Reaching out his hand, the corner of his lips lifted slightly.

Closing his eyes, he started absorbing the energy into his body. Due to his action, when the energy flow entered Jiao Lizhi’s body, it was left with only 70%.

Sitting not far from his fiancée, Jin Xuyan raised his head and saw the foggy sky start to clear up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Unlike before, the breakthrough process this time took Jiao Lizhi several hours to complete. When she opened her eyes, she let out a long breath and felt her body become much lighter.

Ignoring the black goo covering her body, she checked her energy pool and was stunned when she realized the amount of energy stored inside her core. Compared to ordinary ability-users, her current energy pool should be equal to a level-four ability-user.

When she was done, she heard her fiancé’s voice coming from the house, "Ah Zhi, the water is ready. I will prepare the meal while you take a bath."

Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi nodded and said, "Brother Yan, I want egg porridge."

"Okay," Jin Xuyan replied with a smile.

After Jiao Lizhi washed off the black goo covering her entire body, she soaked in the bathtub while checking her space.

There was no change in the house, but the other areas had a significant change. The cylindrical silo expanded and now could hold 110 tons of grains. The black soil expanded from 800 square meters to 3,200 square meters, with a yield of 60 kilograms per square meter.

The grassland expanded to 80 hectares, while the pond’s depth increased to 50 meters, with the energy contained equal to 15% of a crystal core.

The oxygen level also increased severalfold, while the requirement needed to raise livestock decreased. With the current numbers, she didn’t have to worry about running out of oxygen at all, even if she stayed in her space for the entire year.

The sky limit increased from 300 meters to 600 meters high. As the fog cleared up, the space became brighter. But the crystal cores needed to sustain the space increased to 15 crystal cores daily.

As for the requirement for leveling up, she had to break through to level three and use 5,000 crystal cores. She had no problem with the amount of crystal cores needed. The only problem was her level limitation.

Even with her fiancé helping her by transferring his energy to her so she could continuously drain and recover her energy, it still took her a long time to break through. Now, with a larger energy pool, it would be harder for her to reach level three.

Since this was not something she could rush, Jiao Lizhi decided to plant the black soil first. After they collected more supplies, she also obtained more seeds.

With an area of 3,200 square meters, she planted 1,000 square meters with rice, 500 square meters with wheat, and 400 square meters with soybeans.

Then, she planted 500 square meters with various vegetables, seeds, and fruits, such as lettuce, lentils, carrots, cabbage, radish, eggplant, tomato, asparagus, broccoli, spinach, pepper, etc.

The rest of the area was planted with corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, barley, and other grains.

When she was done, the water had cooled, so she got out of the bathtub, wiped her body, and changed into clean clothes. Afterward, she went to the dining room, where a table of food was ready.

Seeing her coming, Jin Xuyan said, "Ah Zhi, I made your favorite grilled meat, too. Eat while it’s hot."

Pulling a chair across from him, Jiao Lizhi took her seat and said, "Brother Yan, it looks delicious. Thank you."

Reaching out to scratch her nose lightly, Jin Xuyan replied with a smile, "As long as you like it."

While the two of them were having a meal, Fu Guai entered a deep sleep after absorbing the energy.

At this moment, the damage to his body caused by the mutation had recovered by 90%, and he slowly regained his memories as his body recovered.

Jiao Lizhi and Jin Xuyan stayed in her space until dawn before they left. The moment they reappeared outside, the surrounding zombies had been burned into ashes. Looking at the scattered crystal cores, she waved her hands and collected everything into her space.

After she broke through to level two and upgraded her space, she could now collect items from a 150-meter radius. When she was done, they went to check the buildings in the area and collected all supplies before they returned to the airport.

Seeing them coming, Xiao Qi quickly walked over and greeted them, "Captain, Sister-in-law, you are here."

Coming down from the motorbike, Jiao Lizhi asked, "Xiao Qi, are the supplies and fuel enough?"

Xiao Qi nodded and replied, "Sister-in-law, we have enough supplies, but we need more fuel."

Just after he finished his words, several planes landed one after another. Seeing this, Jin Xuyan said, "Ah Zhi, we need ten more planes and more fuel. If possible, it’s better to complete the relocation in four to five days."

Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi nodded and replied, "No problem."

After she said this, she walked to the parking area and waved her hand. The next moment, a giant fuel tank appeared on the empty field. With another wave of her hand, ten massive planes appeared in the area.

The moment Xiao Qi saw this, his jaw almost dropped to the floor. He pointed at the planes and asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, how could you take out such big planes without depleting your mental strength?"

Jiao Lizhi patted his shoulder and replied with a smile, "Brother, I’m already at level two."

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Qi was so stunned that he could only look at her without saying a word. After a while, he finally recovered his composure and said, "Sister-in-law, congratulations."
