To ensure a steady supply of fruits and vegetables post-crisis, Jiao Lizhi utilized her pond water to irrigate the desolate land. She then proceeded to re-establish all her genetically modified trees, crops, and vegetables on this revitalized soil.
"Gaia, could you ascertain if the soil is contaminated with the zombie virus?"
After a brief two-minute interval, Gaia's voice resonated within Jiao Lizhi's mind, "Scan complete. No traces of the zombie virus have been detected in the soil."
"Does the pond water possess soil-purifying capabilities?"
"Affirmative."
This revelation spurred Jiao Lizhi into action. Mounting a motorbike, she rode to the opposite end of the wasteland. She then employed her entire supply of pond water to decontaminate the soil, subsequently planting a larger quantity of grains.
By the time she concluded this task, an additional three hours had elapsed. With only four hours remaining until the deadline, the sky began to darken.
A sense of urgency prompted her to address Gaia: "Gaia, assist me in constructing an animal farm for my mutant creatures."
Instantly, metallic fences materialized within her spatial dimension. Jiao Lizhi promptly retrieved them and began their assembly in the wasteland.
These were no ordinary metal fences; they were fabricated with Sthanam Crystal dust, granting them superior durability and quality compared to the strongest terrestrial metals. Upon their interconnection, a translucent barrier shimmered into existence.
Jiao Lizhi, surprised by this development, inquired, "Gaia, what exactly is this barrier?"
"The metal fence incorporates the Tarakam Civilization's most advanced design. It includes a barrier function to ensure the containment of the mutant animals within the designated area."
"But how can I retrieve the mutant animals if a barrier obstructs my path?"
"The system has registered the Host's unique imprint. The Host, along with individuals granted explicit permission, can pass through the barrier unimpeded."
Reassured by this explanation, Jiao Lizhi proceeded to transfer all her mutant animals into the enclosure, also allocating a substantial amount of grass for their sustenance.
Once her supplies, plants, and animals were all situated, the time had come to escort the children and chimeras from her spatial dimension.
As on previous occasions, the system subtly altered their memories before inducing a deep slumber. Jiao Lizhi stealthily entered the bunker area to retrieve the children, leaving behind provisions of food and water before proceeding towards the fourth ring zone.
She then brought out the chimeras, providing them with food, water, and crystal cores. Upon awakening, they would have the autonomy to depart or remain.
Having resided within her space for an extended duration, they gradually reverted to their human forms, retaining only minor residual animalistic physical traits.
With her tasks completed, Jiao Lizhi returned to her condominium. Shortly thereafter, Du Beiye also arrived.
Upon seeing their return, Jiang Ziyi offered a smile and announced, "We have only ninety minutes remaining. Let us commence."
"Great Commander, kindly grant me a brief moment," Jiao Lizhi requested, producing a mobile phone from a drawer in her bedroom and powering it on.
A premonition lingered that she might not survive the activation process of Utopia. Consequently, she intended to record a video message for her fiancé.
Initiating the recording, she spoke with a gentle smile, "Brother Yan, I understand you may be greatly angered upon viewing this message. It is acceptable if you hold me responsible or resent me for making this solitary decision."
She paused briefly before continuing, "I apologize for my selfishness. You have selflessly sacrificed your life for me ninety-nine times. Therefore, this time, the protection will be my undertaking."
"Should I happen not to return to you, I implore you not to grieve for an extended period. You are an exceptional individual, deserving of all the world's finest. Live well and discover renewed happiness."
"Brother Yan, please know that my love for you remains eternal."
As her final words faded, a single tear traced a path down her cheek. Swiftly ending the recording, she secured the phone.
Taking several deep, calming breaths to manage her emotions, she rejoined the others in the living room, her demeanor now serene.
Jiang Ziyi observed her for a moment before asking, "Are you prepared?"
Both Jiao Lizhi and Du Beiye responded with nods.
"Recline and close your eyes."
With all preparations complete, he declared, "Jiva, initiate Project Utopia."
"Project Utopia activation commencing. Extracting Nishkrayan and Gaia's data from the Hosts. Extraction in progress."
In the ensuing moment, both Jiao Lizhi and Du Beiye experienced an intense sensation, as if countless needles pierced their skulls, followed by a feeling of being torn asunder.
Muffled groans escaped their lips as they broke into a cold sweat, their bodies involuntarily curling and contorting in agony.
Standing a short distance away, Jiang Ziyi clenched his fists so tightly that his fingernails dug into his palms. Blood trickled onto the floor, yet he registered no pain, his bloodshot eyes fixed on his daughters writhing in excruciating torment.
Throughout this ordeal, Jiao Lizhi and Du Beiye simultaneously yearned for unconsciousness, but the sheer intensity of the pain rendered even fainting an unattainable solace.Blood trickled from their tightened grips and ruptured lips, their countenances ashen. The ordeal seemed to stretch into an endless age, yet it transpired in a mere seven minutes. As the final fragments of data were being retrieved, a gentle emerald luminescence emanated from Gaia, making its way into Jiao Lizhi's crystalline core. Simultaneously, a silver radiance emerged from Krayan, flowing into Du Beiye's crystal core. "Data acquisition concluded. Transmitting information to the primary network." Instantly after Jiva's pronouncement, Jiang Ziyi experienced an acute agony within his mind. He collapsed onto his knees with a resounding impact, his complexion draining of all color. Distinguishing himself from his daughters, his seasoned awareness prevented any uncontrolled thrashing. He assumed a cross-legged posture, sealed his eyes, and began to guide his internal Qi. At this juncture, in addition to the system's information, a vast influx of spiritual energy surged into his being. This potent energy originated from the Sthanam Crystals meticulously embedded within Gaia's verdant plains. His flesh began to fissure under the sheer force of the energy coursing within him. Mustering his final vestiges of awareness, he activated the dimensional gateway, vanishing from that very location.
