On the other side, Du Beiye handed the phone to her sister and walked away to give them privacy.
"Brother Yan."
As soon as Jiao Lizhi called out, she heard her fiancé’s voice, "Ah Zhi, did you detain those people in your space?"
Knowing that she couldn’t hide this matter from him, she replied, "Brother Yan, this matter is a little bit complicated. I will explain it to you later."
"Will it put you in danger?" he asked.
"Don’t worry. The moment they enter my Space, they won’t be able to do anything to me."
Only after hearing this did Jin Xuyan’s worries lessen. "Our team has already cleaned up the First Hospital and is currently at the rooftop garden. We will wait for you and Du Beiye before we go to the wholesale market area."
"Okay. We will be there in half an hour."
"Be careful," Jin Xuyan reminded her.
"I will."
After he hung up the call, Jin Xuyan joined the members and helped them prepare lunch.
Twenty-five minutes later, both Jiao Lizhi and Du Beiye arrived at the First Hospital. It took them another fifteen minutes to reach the rooftop garden. When they arrived, the members had just finished cooking lunch.
Seeing them coming, Jin Xuyan walked over and checked his fiancée from head to toe. When he saw that she was fine, he held her hand and said, "Lunch is ready. Let’s eat first."
While they were having lunch, Jiao Lizhi explained the matter regarding Jiang Ziyi to her fiancé.
After learning about their identity, Jin Xuyan said, "So, you mean that that group is actually alien?"
Jiao Lizhi nodded and replied, "From the information we obtained, the blue dots on Brother Qin’s map should be people who came in contact with the alien. There should be a tracker planted on their bodies."
"Ah Zhi, did you get this information from those people?"
Jiao Lizhi shook her head and replied, "It’s Beiye who told me. She also found out the location of the hidden laboratory. While we are unsure if that place is the Facility, we are sure that it has something to do with the alien."
Without waiting for him to ask, she took out a map from her Space and pointed at the area while saying, "The laboratory should be located in this place."
Staring at the map, Jin Xuyan narrowed his eyes and muttered softly, "The Land of Snow."
If the information was accurate, it would be hard for them to attack the laboratory. Not to mention the distance, the harsh weather and conditions in that area were already a big problem.
"With our current strength, we can’t attack them for now," he concluded.
"We can’t do it for now, but we can inform Xun Che and let him help us get more allies," Jiao Lizhi said.
Jin Xuyan thought about her suggestion and nodded. "I will discuss this matter with him after we go back."
"Okay."
After lunch, the Phantom team rested for another half an hour before they left the hospital and went to the wholesale market. This wholesale market was located near the hospital and only needed one and a half hours of driving.
But due to the damaged road, and since the team was slowing down to gather the zombies, they reached the wholesale market after three hours of driving.
Unlike the hospital, the number of zombies in this area was small. Standing at the entrance of the wholesale market, Qin Luzi checked his map and said, "Captain, there are only some zombies trapped inside the house."
"Everyone, split up to clear the zombies and collect the supplies," Jin Xuyan said.
"Understood."
With his order, the members divided into four teams, with each team having one space-type ability-user.
Although Du Beiye was not an ability-user, the members still thought that she was a space-type ability-user. With large inventory and warehouses, it was not a problem for her to store the supplies.
As usual, Jiao Lizhi teamed up with Jin Xuyan. Since the number of zombies was less than one hundred, the members finished clearing them up in an hour. It took them longer to collect the supplies and they only finished in the afternoon.
Looking at the setting sun, Jin Xuyan said, "We will spend a night here. Tomorrow, we will go to the shopping mall and the five-star hotel area."
"Understood," the members replied in unison and went to find a place to spend the night.
At the same time, another group of people left the Poplar Base on a bus. These people were those who came to the Poplar Base with the Phantom team.
At first, they thought that they were finally able to have a good life here. Unexpectedly, within hours after they arrived, they were not only harassed by the thugs, but also oppressed by the guards.
Compared to the bandit den, life in this base was worse. At least when they were captured by the bandits, they didn’t have to worry about protection fees. But here, not only did they have to guard against others, they still had to pay for everything.
Since there were no laws in the Poplar Base, no one stopped the group when they left. While driving the bus, a young man asked, "Brother Ming, where should we go now?"
Lei Ming checked the map for a moment before he said, "We should go to Lin’an City. With the supplies we have now, it should be enough to last us for five days."
"I heard that the number of zombies at the border has been reduced by more than half. As long as we are not stopping on the way, we should be able to reach Lin’an City in two days at most."
Even though he had a hidden intention to choose Lin’an City, currently, it was the best place for them to head to. Therefore, no one rejected his idea.
During their short stay in the Poplar Base, they heard a lot of rumours about how good the Lin’an City base was. Since wherever they go is the same, it would not hurt for them to take this gamble.
