Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space Chapter 902 902: Project Utopia ( 4 )

Staring at the swirling space portal, Jiang Ziyi whispered, "Is it impossible for me to alter the destiny of this timeline too?"

"Host, the system has simulated countless scenarios based on the decisions you, Du Fengyan, Du Beiye, and Shrotam have made thus far. To attain the ideal conclusion you desire, there remains but a single viable solution."

Upon hearing Jiva's pronouncement, Jiang Ziyi fell silent for a beat before replying, "Executing Project Utopia deviates from my ultimate objective. My daughters will never be sacrificed to preserve this planet."

"An alternative method exists to complete the project without necessitating the sacrifice of the Hosts. Provided we can successfully merge Nishkrayan and Gaia, and upload the final data patch to the core system, we will be able to initiate Utopia."

After a brief pause, Jiva continued, "According to the system's projections, precisely 18 hours remain before planetary annihilation. Host, a decision must be made swiftly. Time is of the essence."

Jiang Ziyi's fists clenched as he declared, "I require time to confer with them."

The instant his words concluded, he activated the space portal, commencing his return journey to the Lin'an City Base.

The very moment of his reappearance was sensed by Jiao Lizhi and Du Beiye, who felt the surge of his energy. With numerous individuals standing guard at the base, a discreet departure was feasible.

Within a span of thirty minutes, they located Jiang Ziyi at Jiao Lizhi's apartment. Upon entering, they observed him placing a steaming bowl of chicken soup onto the dining table.

Acknowledging their presence, he offered a smile and instructed, "Wash your hands, and let's have a meal first."

The two exchanged a glance upon hearing his directive. Despite their burning curiosity regarding his intentions, they dutifully proceeded to wash their hands and take their seats.

Jiang Ziyi proceeded to serve them each a portion of steamed rice and a bowl of soup. Settling into his own seat, he grasped his chopsticks and urged, "Eat while it's hot."

They responded with nods, embarking on their meal in quietude. Famished and weary, they consumed every last morsel, leaving not a drop of soup behind.

Jiang Ziyi observed their hearty consumption with clear satisfaction. Once the table was cleared and the dishes were washed, he finally took a seat opposite them on the couch.

His gaze settled upon them as he stated, "Fengyan, Beiye, I shall not conceal the truth from either of you. In less than sixteen hours, the Matkuna planet is projected to arrive through that very space portal."

"Upon its appearance, its immense gravitational pull will obliterate the solar system. They intend to harvest the energy from every planet and star within this galaxy. At that juncture, all of us shall perish."

"Great Commander, is there truly no recourse to prevent this calamity?" Du Beiye inquired.

"There is indeed a method to halt their advance. However, it necessitates your complete cooperation," Jiang Ziyi affirmed with a nod.

Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi's mind flashed back to a clandestine project she had been involved with during her time in the Tarakam Civilization. Her eyes widened with surprise as she questioned, "Great Commander, you cannot possibly be referring to Project Utopia, can you?"

Du Beiye, perplexed by her sister's sudden exclamation, interjected, "What exactly is Project Utopia? Is it some novel form of weaponry?"

A sigh escaped Jiang Ziyi as he offered his explanation, "Project Utopia is a system meticulously crafted by ten Great Commanders shortly after the Tarakam Civilization was established."

"At that time, Utopia's sheer power ignited the avarice and ambition of countless individuals. To safeguard the Tarakam Civilization from suffering the same fate as our predecessors, four other Great Commanders and I made the difficult decision to dismantle the system."

After a brief pause, he added, "This is how Nishkrayan and Gaia were ultimately brought into existence."

Both Jiao Lizhi and Du Beiye were rendered speechless by this revelation. The concept that their respective systems were, in fact, integral components of Utopia had never crossed their minds.

At this critical juncture, a grim premonition began to form in their hearts.

"Great Commander, if we are to activate Utopia, does this necessitate the merging of Krayan and Gaia?" Du Beiye hesitantly asked.

Jiang Ziyi inclined his head in confirmation.

"However, Krayan and Gaia are intrinsically linked to the Hosts' souls. If they are reassembled, would this not irrevocably lead to the Hosts' demise?" she implored.

His knuckles white, Jiang Ziyi nodded grimly. "There exists a method to guarantee the Hosts' safety. But once the systems are unified, your access to them will be permanently severed. In essence, you will forfeit both your Spaces and your armaments."

Jiao Lizhi contemplated the vast array of items stored within her Space. "Even possessing Spaces and weapons holds no significance if we cease to exist," she stated resolutely.

Drawing a deep breath, she continued, "Great Commander, I implore you, grant me a short period to make preparations. Once I have retrieved all necessary supplies from my Space, I shall grant you complete authorization to utilize Gaia."

Du Beiye pondered for a moment before concurring, "I too require some time to prepare."

Jiang Ziyi acknowledged their requests with understanding. "You shall have a maximum of ten hours. Upon completion of your preparations, return here to find me."

"Understood."

A pact having been reached, they departed from the condominium. While Du Beiye directed his attention toward the laboratory and military barracks, Jiao Lizhi proceeded to the recently constructed warehouse and reservoir zones situated within the 3rd ring road.

These specific warehouses and reservoirs had been requisitioned by the Phantom Team for the safekeeping of their provisions. Consequently, their access to this particular locale was exclusive, barring any unauthorized entry by others.

Upon opening the warehouses, she commenced the task of stocking them with provisions. Every item, encompassing weaponry, ammunition, and crystal cores, was extracted. The Sthanam Crystal, however, was deliberately excluded, a precautionary measure to avert potential peril to the entire base.

With the completion of provisioning efforts in over fifty warehouses, three hours had elapsed.

Wasting no further moments, she journeyed towards the reservoir vicinity. This time, her actions involved replenishing the reservoirs with water from her pond. Following this, she introduced fish, prawns, crabs, and a colossal octopus into these bodies of water.

Her personal ponds and lakes within her space were thoroughly cleansed. Once this task was accomplished, she ventured into the wasteland section. A substantial quantity of crops had been cultivated within her space, ensuring the granary was brimming with provisions.
