(Inside One Of The Tents)

Gong Li\'s question hung in the air and a contemplative expression flashed across Liu Yifei\'s face.

She had also given the matter quite some thought since she had heard about the creature that was hunting down Eve.

Liu Yifei also agreed that tracking down Subject 001 was dangerous but could see Qin Lan\'s point that it was bigger threat if they decided to do nothing.

The ability to connect different spatial locations using portals was a terrifying one since it meant that an ambush could occur at any time or place.

In the middle of the night, in the afternoon or even in the morning…

It would be impossible to remain vigilant twenty-four hours every single day without eventually becoming paranoid or suffering from insomnia.

Liu Yifei hummed thoughtfully as she shifted her body closer to Gong Li and rested her head against her friend\'s shoulders.

She could feel Gong Li\'s body stiffen as her face brushed against her cheek.

A gentle smile flashed across Liu Yifei\'s face as she resisted the urge to plant a kiss against her friend\'s lips.

Maybe she should confess her feelings first…

I mean it was pretty obvious that Gong Li wasn\'t going to confess anytime soon. The only issue was that Liu Yifei wasn\'t exactly sure about her feelings.

She definitely felt something different towards her friend, but this was the first time that she had felt like this towards someone of the same gender.

The last thing that she wanted was to get into a relationship with Gong Li only to realise later down the road that she wasn\'t even gay.

It wouldn\'t be fair to her friend…

Liu Yifei shook her head and tossed those thoughts to the back of her mind. Right now, there were more pressing matters to consider.

She snapped her fingers and two chocolate bars as well as some bottles of water appeared seemingly out of thin air.

She handed the snack and a bottle of water to Gong Li and then took a bite herself out of the chocolate that was still cold.

Crunch!

Liu Yifei enjoyed the sweet sugary taste of the chocolate that filled her mouth. Her ability may not be extremely powerful but it sure was useful.

Her space was capable of storing food, water, and other supplies in the same state as they were before they entered her pocket dimension.

Hot food would remain hot while cold ice cream would never melt.

Liu Yifei finished off her chocolate bar and then opened her mouth to tell Gong Li about her true thoughts.

"I trust Sister Lan to protect us. I think that it would be too dangerous for us to remain in Xyrean Province without her protection," Liu Yifei calmly explained.

"The fact that there are groups of ability users roaming around the province means that there is a possibility that someone has a tracking gift."

"If they stumbled upon our location then it wouldn\'t take long before we get overwhelmed."

Gong Li nodded her head thoughtfully as she twisted the cap off the bottle in her palm and drank its contents.

The cool taste of the water moisturised her throat and allowed her a few seconds to think about what Liu Yifei had just said.

"Well, we do have two days to think about it," Gong Li finally spoke as she wiped her mouth using her sleeve.

"I agree but I\'m just worried about how dangerous it would be to try and break into what is potentially the source of the apocalypse."

"Who knows what kind of dangerous experiments and monster are hidden inside that place…"

Liu Yifei stretched out her arms and yawned as she felt a wave of exhaustion hit her body all at once.

It was getting pretty late, and she was now feeling tired after a long day of training and then having to listen to such shocking news.

Liu Yifei opened her mouth to reply to Gong Li but could feel her eyes slowly begin to close as the call of sleep beckoned to her.

Finally, she gave up the struggle to stay awake and decided that it was probably for the best to at least get a relatively solid three hours of sleep before dawn came.

"We\'ll… we\'ll discuss this more tomorrow," Liu Yifei yawned sleepily as she crawled towards her sleeping bag and lied down.

"Good night, Gong Li… sweet dreams…"

Liu Yifei closed her eyes and was soon in dreamland. Her chest rose and fell as she took in deep breaths and gently exhaled.

Gong Li\'s face flushed red, and she quickly looked away after taking a few sneak peeks at her friend\'s gorgeous body.

She also returned to her sleeping bag but unlike Liu Yifei, it took quite awhile before Gong Li was able to drift off.

(Outside the tent)

"Do you need crystals?" Eve slowly questioned as she walked over to Qin Lan and gently held her hands.

"Yes… I need to become stronger," Qin Lan resolutely replied as she enjoyed the warmth of Qin Lan\'s soft palm.

"Oh wait… I haven\'t told you about my ability yet, have I?"

Eve shook her head and Qin Lan nervously touched the tip of her fingers. She took in a few deep breaths and stared into Eve\'s eyes.

There was nothing but love and affection in the zombie empress\' gaze as she looked at her favourite human.

"I… I can command humans. Well, I am able to enter their minds and control them," Qin Lan explained hesitantly.

"If Subject 001 has allied himself with any humans, then I should be able to turn them into weapons to use against him."

Eve nodded in understanding and smiled sweetly as she leaned forward to brush her lips against the top of Qin Lan\'s forehead.

"Don\'t be nervous… I think that it is a wonderful ability," Eve quietly whispered as she sensed that her favourite human was feeling a bit conflicted.

Eve broke away from Qin Lan\'s grasp and walked over to a nearby bush where she had stored her travel bag.

She unzipped the bag and pulled out a backpack that was covered in dried blood and caked with dirt.

Eve wrinkled up her nose in distaste and secretly scolded herself for forgetting to wash the backpack.

Still, it was the contents inside the backpack that really mattered and hopefully Qin Lan would enjoy her surprise.

Eve walked over to the confused woman and slowly unzipped the top of the backpack to reveal what was stored inside.

Qin Lan\'s eyes widened in disbelieve as she saw dozens if not hundreds of purplish-black crystals packed together.

This was more than enough to upgrade her ability to the next level.
