With more than ninety percent of the crystals buried under the ground, the pile looked like nothing more than rocks. Before she could find out what was going on, she saw a gush of black energy flow into her spatial device.
The dimmed space absorbed the energy as if it had been starved for millennia. As it absorbed the energy, the fog slowly dispersed and turned into energy that seeped into the core of the spatial device.
This was the first time Jiao Lizhi witnessed how her space actually evolved and upgraded. At this moment, she was too stunned to blink.
As a wisp of consciousness, she lost her sense of time. She didn’t know how long she had been watching the space device evolve. It might have been only an hour, or it might have been a year, who knew?
Feeling bored, she floated around the vast space for a long time. Suddenly, she noticed cracks similar to spiderwebs on the edge of her space.
As she traced the cracks with her fingertips, a strong suction force pulled at her consciousness. Before she was engulfed by darkness, she heard a faint mechanical voice echo in her mind.
’Host...signal...Gaia...lock in location...’
When she opened her eyes, Jiao Lizhi was taken aback as she stared into her fiancée’s pale face. Before she could ask what had happened to him, he leaned down to hug her.
As he buried his face in the curve of her shoulder, Jin Xuyan said hoarsely, "Ah Zhi, you finally woke up."
After a while, Jiao Lizhi finally asked, "Brother Yan, what happened to me?"
Hearing this, Jin Xuyan let her go and replied, "After you took away the minerals, you suddenly fainted."
"How long have I been unconscious?" she asked again.
"It has been half a month."
The moment she heard this, Jiao Lizhi sat up suddenly and said, "Brother Yan, the second rain."
Jin Xuyan nodded and glanced at the closed window. Even from inside, they could hear the clear sound of raindrops hitting the rooftop and windows.
Jiao Lizhi thought for a moment before she said, "Brother Yan, let’s go back as soon as possible."
The two of them knew that this rain would last for a long time, and during this period, it was dangerous to stay outside the base.
"Ah Zhi, we can’t use the chopper."
"Why?"
Jin Xuyan did not reply to her and went to open the window instead. As soon as the window was opened, they saw the dark sky flash as lightning crossed as if it wanted to split the heavens. Thunder roared, mixing with the sound of the heavy rainstorm.
With the current weather, it was indeed impossible to travel by aircraft. Their only option right now was to use cars.
"You just woke up and have not yet fully recovered. Stay here, I will go inform the members. We will depart as soon as possible," Jin Xuyan said before he left the room.
