Chapter 690: Chapter 678: End of the World Dimension 66

"Why are you planting grains in G city, that’s a zombie den, aren’t you trying to betray humanity?"Liang Can blurted out.

"You’re the one betraying humanity. I didn’t establish the Trading Center, I’m only in charge of selling the food. If you feel I’m betraying humans, you can choose not to buy my food. You can continue consuming nutrient solutions, no one is forcing you to eat." Lin Jingyang, who had grown tired of the vice-base leader’s constant despise, finally retaliated.

"How dare you speak to me like that," said Liang Can out of dissatisfaction when Lin Jingyang, who usually wouldn’t dare to argue with him, stood up against him.

"I speak with humans in human language, and non-humans in non-human language. If you’re mad, you don’t have to listen. I’m not asking for your opinion, I’m speaking with my father." Lin Jingyang retorted.

Innerly, Lin Jingyang felt a great delight. He had wanted to retaliate for long and now, he dared to because he knew they would soon be begging to buy food from him.

A furious Liang Can turned bright red. Seeing those who didn’t get along with him showing ironic smiles, he had a strong urge to kill Lin Jingyang.

"Alright, Liang Can, step aside. We have other important things to ask him," said the base manager, looking at the enraged Liang Can, and feeling a sense of satisfaction- he felt that it serves Liang Can right to have been annoyed by Lin Jingyang.

After that, the base manager and Lin Hao questioned Lin Jingyang about the Trading Center. Lin Jingyang told them everything he could, hiding only the information about Yan Mo and his team.

Following the conversation, Lin Jingyang hung up and they continued discussing the issue of whether to go to G City to buy grain.

Liang Can and his team maintained that it was a trap and strongly objected to the idea.

The base manager and his team felt that the risk was worth taking. If they could secure the food supply, the base would develop better and fewer people would starve.

In the end, they decided to lead a team with Lin Hao to G City. Though this decision would lessen the security of the base, the advantages of securing a food supply outweighed the disadvantages.

Upon his return, Liang Can secretly informed the people of the S-level Base about the matter.

On hearing about the situation in G City, the people from the S-level Base immediately sent their team to assess the situation. If they could secure the grains, they would gain more power towards ruling the world.

Meanwhile, Xia Yue and her team, oblivious of the hidden agenda of the team from the S-level Base, continued to purify more land and water sources, thus restoring more and more places to their original state.

Even if they knew, they would not be afraid, as they held absolute power and hence, faced no danger.

Due to the abundant use of Fuditu, a lot of land had returned to its original state. This started changing the Divine Core of Ziluo, that had previously been polluted by a demon, back to its original state. Ziluo seemed to have evolved. Her Divine Power had also significantly increased.

Now, Ziluo did not have to cast Fuditu herself. She just needed to plant some vine cuttings from her body and the land would gradually return to its original state.

Similarly, Xia Yue received feedback for purifying abundant sources of water. All she needed to do was to form a Water Spiritual Pearl and place it at the source, and the entire river would be purified gradually.

Her Spiritual Power seemed to have slightly evolved too, but it was not as obvious as Ziluo’s.

"I didn’t think frequent usage would have such benefits," Ziluo said excitedly. If before she had been a low-level spirit of the hill, she could now be considered an intermediate-level one.

"The process of the third task, which is to protect animals and plants, is already 70% completed. Last time I checked it was 0%", Xia Yue checked the progress of their tasks and announced with glee.

"What about the other two?" Ziluo asked.

"Lin Jingyang’s is 60% complete, Qi Ran’s is 57%", Xia Yue replied.

"Mr. Yan, keep up the good work on Lin Jingyang’s training. As for Qi Ran, progress is quite slow, his case is difficult to handle," Ziluo turned to Yan Mo, furrowing her brows at the thought of Qi Ran’s task.

[The determining factor in Qi Ran’s case is his wife. Once she wakes up, Qi Ran’s task will be nearly complete.] The system reminded them.

"But his wife was hit hard with the backlash, and she needs Gongde (virtuous deeds). And Gongde is not easily obtained whenever we want," Xia Yue pointed out.

[You blockhead. This might have been the case before, but Ziluo has leveled up and can now use her Divine Power to help.] The system couldn’t help but swear at Xia Yue. If there was no way out, it would not remind them of how to complete the mission.

"If there is a way, just say it. What should we do?" Xia Yue asked anxiously.

[Can you make a red string, like that of a marriage thread?] The system asked Xia Xi.

"Yes," Xia Xi responded with a nod.

[Use a vine from Ziluo to make a marriage string. Bind Qi Ran and his wife together, then together with Ziluo, conduct a joint spell to bind their fate together and share their lives. Then, Qi Ran’s wife will wake up,] the system suggested.

"Can it really be used that way?" Xia Yue was amazed.

[However, it requires the consent of both parties and a shared affection. If until one day, one of them becomes unfaithful, that person will be severely punished.] The system elaborated. It had seen several people use it before. Apart from two pairs who had remained together, the rest had not ended up with satisfactory outcomes.

"We’ll need to lay out the details to him. If he disagrees, this method is useless," mentioned Xia Xi.

"We can ask him later," said Yan Mo.

They had spent more time in this world than the previous ones, yet only half the tasks were completed. It was somewhat slow.

They went straight to Qi Ran’s villa.

"What brings you here?" Qi Ran had ventured them inside and asked them to sit down. He thought they had something important for him to do.

"We now have a way to wake up your wife, but we need to explain the conditions to you first. Have a look and decide whether you can accept it or not," Xia Yue began.

"What’s the method? I’m willing to give up my life for it, as long it can wake her up," Qi Ran immediately responded with anticipation.

"It’s not so serious. If you want your wife to wake up, you need to..." Xia Yue explained the method and its consequences to him.

"I will do it, I don’t regret it. She saved my life. If I were to be unfaithful, I would have moved on after she fell into a coma," declared Qi Ran without any hesitation.
