After treating Zi's wounds, Brother Black injected her with an anti-venom serum. With the right medicine and her valiant digitized body, Zi's condition quickly stabilized. Her HP gradually recovered, and her breathing gradually stabilized. Then, from her convulsing state of unconsciousness, she fell into a deep slumber....
*****
Zi was awoken by the aroma of food.
Previously, she had engaged in a fierce battle for a long time, and was unconscious for nearly 7-8 hours. Thus, her body had long displayed an instinctive hunger response. At present, when she smelled the aroma of oatmeal and the sizzling aroma of roasted meat, her appetite naturally overflowed from the depths of her heart, and directly dispelled her drowsiness.
Nevertheless, the instant she awoke, Zi's first instinct was to grab her weapon, and assume an offensive posture as she sat up... following that, she noticed two males nearby casting peculiar gazes towards her.
An awkward silence pervaded the atmosphere. Reef coughed and probed with a probing tone.
"Zi, you're awake? Are you alright? "
Zi's eyes gradually regained clarity from her bewilderment. Her eyes revealed a pained expression as she nodded silently.
"Mhm, I'm alright. Reef, you saved me? Where are we now? "
"The Metropolis of Death." Reef replied solemnly. "Don't worry, we're safe now. Come, have something to eat."
Zi nodded and scooped a bowl of oatmeal for herself. Finally, she couldn't help but ask.
"How did you guys get here?"
Mogensha swallowed a piece of roasted meat.
"Demondream sent a letter to boss.... then activated a space-time wormhole to transport us here."
"Demondream...." Zi couldn't help but shut her eyes and buried her head. She then muttered. "I didn't expect, I thought that item had been taken away by Sable. Who knew the space-time wormhole was actually in her hands!"
"Oh, AK, you seem to have missed out on something." All of a sudden, a voice drifted in from outside. Following that, Sheyan pulled open the zipper of the tent and walked in. He then smiled at Zi and said.
"Demondream also asked us to pass on her last words to you. Her feelings for you have never changed …"
Upon hearing those words, Reef and Mogensha simultaneously revealed an expression of wanting to laugh but not daring to. Instead, they exchanged meaningful glances with each other. Zi's face flushed red as she glared fiercely at Sheyan. Then, she lowered her head and continued eating her porridge.
Sheyan smiled and replied.
"I have to respect the final wishes of a dead person right? Based on my observation, a scout from Glory Party should have already reached the motel we stayed at yesterday. I reckon the Metals Professor will be rushing over with a large group of people soon. Therefore, Zi, tell me about your main mission, we have to hurry."
Zi abruptly raised her head, her pair of bewitching phoenix eyes brimming with dense killing intent.
"What do you mean? Since Fu Lyanna is here, I will not allow her to leave this place alive. The Metropolis of Death shall be her burial ground! "
Sheyan gazed at Zi and earnestly replied.
"Apologies madam, the mission we received from Demondream is to rescue you out alive. This definitely doesn't include a direct confrontation with Glory Party. That would require us to stake our lives! Regretfully, Demondream's remuneration isn't worth that price. "
"You want to get me out of here alive? Then if I die in a duel with Fu Lyanna, and you guys just watch without lifting a finger, wouldn't your mission be a failure? "Zi sneered.
Sheyan shrugged his shoulders and replied.
"You can throw your life away, but the three of us still cherish our lives. Therefore, if you don't follow our arrangements and act on your own accord, then I guarantee in Reef's name, we will only watch from the side."
Reef asked in astonishment.
"Why is it in my name?"
"Fine, fine, fine!" Zi gritted her teeth as she replied. Her expression didn't give off a sinister feeling, instead, it was similar to Xi Zi frowning in love. She stood up and stomped out of the tent.
Brother Black and Reef were instantly startled.
"Boss ….."
Sheyan confidently replied.
"Don't worry, she will return. Even when she was fighting alone yesterday, she didn't give up. Running off to die in vain, she definitely won't do so now."
After speaking, Sheyan scooped a bowl of oatmeal porridge for himself. Then, he used some salad and vegetables to wrap the barbecued meat, and made himself a huge sandwich. After taking a ferocious bite, he took a sip of the oatmeal porridge. He could feel the rich aroma of the oatmeal seeping into his taste buds, before the warm porridge trickled down his throat. He couldn't help but exhale in satisfaction.
After 2-3 minutes, the tent flap was pulled open once again. Zi strolled in with a chilling expression. She walked to the bonfire and scooped herself a bowl of porridge. Then, she slowly drank it. After finishing the porridge, she suddenly asked.
"If I didn't remember wrongly, the death of the Metals Professor, Fu Lyanna, was caused by you right?" “
Sheyan nodded. Because he was chewing on a large homemade hamburger, he couldn't speak clearly.
"Yes, oh, you should add Mister Fanu into the list of victims. I wonder if he has revived?"
"He hasn't. Otherwise, Yuan Zhan wouldn't have betrayed us so easily. If Fanu was still around, he wouldn't have succeeded in becoming a core member." Zi coldly replied.
"Regrettably, because the Illume-union has tilted their party resources towards Yuan Zhan, we don't have many utility points left. I can't offer any equipment to entice you. However, my Illume-union is a high tier party that has been upgraded to lvl 8. Our party's passive ability is rather tyrannical. Explosive strike rate increases by 3%, recovering 20% HP upon entering near-death state. Our active ability allows us to absorb 15% of target's MP! As long as you agree to help, then I will hand over the party leader position to you! With this party, you can rapidly expand your strength, and deal with Glory Party's next assault! "
Sheyan bit on the hamburger in his mouth, as he stared at Zi with an innocent expression for 3 seconds. Then, he bluntly replied.
"Oh! I believe we have a difference of opinion ….. Zi, up till now, I am rather satisfied with my current party, and have no intentions of abandoning it. "
"You ….." Zi truly lost her composure this time, as she glared at him with a murderous glare! "Don't go overboard!! Reef! Is this your intention? If you have any conditions, just say it. There's no need for this brat to spout nonsense with me! "
Reef stared at Zi with an innocent expression.
"Zi ….. I'm sorry, ever since my party was annihilated, Seaman has always been my boss."
Although Zi had always been calm, she couldn't help but be startled.
"What did you say?"
Mogensha lit up a cigar for himself, as he took a deep puff.
"Madam Zi, I don't think boss has any other intentions. Oh, the Illume-union's level is indeed high, and is a formidable party. But in all fairness, they can't be compared to our current party. "
Zi was even more astonished, as she muttered.
"How is that possible? How is that possible? Even Zeus' Glory Party isn't as high level as my Illume-union! "
Reef sighed and replied.
"Sometimes, level isn't everything. Just like how a Tier 1 ability can't be compared to a Tier 8 ability most of the time."
After hearing Reef's words, Zi couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief.
"Don't tell me you guys are ….."
"Silver party." Brother Black no longer kept her in suspense, as he directly displayed the party's attributes. Zi stared blankly for a moment, before taking a deep breath.
"Then why are there only three of you now? You have to understand, your party has an MT, a support, and such tyrannical party attributes. Expanding shouldn't be too difficult right? "
Sheyan chuckled and replied.
"Firstly, a tall tree attracts the wind. Secondly, I don't wish for an unstable element to appear in the party. Thirdly, and most importantly, with my current capabilities, once we expand, I can't guarantee that my position as the party leader won't be challenged."
Zi shook her head. With regards to her concept of rapidly expanding the party, it just so happened to be incompatible with Sheyan. The atmosphere instantly turned awkward. Sheyan pondered a little before earnestly replying.
"Although we have our differences in many aspects, there's a good saying – seek common ground while reserving differences. No matter what, we still have to cooperate. You can't deny this point right, Zi? Therefore, you have to tell us about your main mission. "
Zi took a deep breath and remained silent for a while before replying.
"Because our influence on the storyline of this world is rather intense, now that I've entered this world, the difficulty of the main mission is rather high. It's divided into two stages. The first stage only requires me to collect the genes of 5 different dinosaurs. After completing this stage of the mission, I can return to the nightmare realm. However, there will be no rewards or punishments." As for the second phase, the main mission is rather difficult. It requires me to find that amber. "
"That amber?" Brother Black curiously asked. "What's the relationship between dinosaurs and amber?"
Sheyan's brows furrowed.
"Don't tell me it's that amber?"
Zi coldly glanced at Sheyan.
"That's right, it's that amber. The amber that gave rise to our current situation! The amber with a blood-sucking mosquito embedded in it! It was from that mosquito's stomach that the scientists obtained first-hand information on the dinosaur genes! If it wasn't for that amber, everything in front of him would have been a mirage! It's impossible for it to appear! "

Damn it, I only went to bed at 7 in the morning and woke up at 5 in the afternoon. So the next chapter will probably be updated later, but it won't be past 12. Everyone, curse me!
