Chapter 153: People like you would be hung on the street lamp in the past
It was an empty flat ground with no trace of C-04 creatures or signs of fighting.
Uncle Zhang drove his own aircraft and came here with bottles of tapioca pearls and oranges.
They all heard the roar of the battle underground, but they were not overly worried. In their previous understanding , Xia Yu had always been very strong and almost no problem could stop him.
"He was right in what he believed, and it was right for him to place his hopes on you."
After looking around and finding no danger, Uncle Zhang spoke to Ximi and Juer in the bottle with words of relief.
Hearing this, Ximi was the first to lose control. She cried, "Uncle Zhang, do you know how much we miss you? Ju'er bullied me when you were not around."
"I didn't. Ximi was the one who caused the most trouble. I was the one who helped her clean up the mess." Ju'er defended.
"Hehe, there is still a lot of time in the future. You can tell me then. Now let me convert my soul into magic power to heal you."
As he said this, blue magic energy suddenly ignited from Zhang Bo's body, and then this energy was infused into the bottle, repairing Ximi and Juer's soul bodies.
In this world, magic power is generated by the soul. Using magic power is equivalent to burning the soul, and the body can repair the damaged soul. When the damaged soul recovers, the intact soul can generate magic power again. In this way, a perfect cycle can be achieved.
But Ximi and Ju'er are undead who have lost their bodies, so every time they use magic, they will consume a part of their non-renewable souls.
That is why their soul bodies become tattered. This is a sign of excessive soul consumption. If they force the use of spells, their souls will completely collapse.
However, as long as magic power is infused into it, the damaged soul body can be repaired.
With the massive infusion of magic power from Zhang Bo, Ximi and Ju'er's damaged bodies were quickly healed, and they also had the strength to get out of the bottle.
Looking at the recovered body and Zhang Bo who seemed to have no problems at all, Ximi was surprised.
"Uncle Zhang, why do you have so much magic power? Where does your huge soul energy come from? I have always hoped to restore you to your original state one day, but why did you come back without saying a word?"
Hearing Ximi's question, Ju'er also looked over curiously. For her, this was also a confusing question.
"This is all because of him." Zhang Bo answered as if recalling something. "It was him who cast the spell of resurrection on me, and it was also him who asked me to convey an important message to you during this period of time."
"Who is he? Why does he do this?" asked Ju'er.
"So that you can seize the chance to survive." Zhang Bo suddenly changed the subject, "He told me that the Star Gate is not a hoax, and the colony really exists. Find his next message and don't give up!"
After hearing these words, both Ximi and Juer's expressions turned into surprise, but a flame of hope rose in their eyes.
The so-called star gate is a teleportation device similar to a space wormhole. It allows people to teleport between any two locations in the universe, but it requires a large amount of magic power as starting energy.
The colony is the first step for mankind to save itself when the first apocalyptic crisis comes.
When the sun leaves the solar system and all humans move to underground cities, the Supreme Union, as the leader of all mankind, will know that this will not work.
Humans cannot survive without the sun, and even if they are alive and well now, there will definitely be problems in the future, so the colonization plan was born.
The key point of this plan is to find a colony suitable for humans in the universe, and then build a star gate there, allowing all mankind to colonize from the earth to the new world and rebuild human civilization.
This plan brought hope to all humans in the dungeon, but what awaited them in the end was not a new world, but universal attention, and the second world-destroying crisis was coming.
Now, suddenly hearing that the colony really exists and the Star Gate is not a scam, Ximi, who has been working hard for this, is the first to react and said proudly to Juer.
"I just said I did nothing wrong, the Star Gate is real!"
"But you didn't know the existence of the colony before, and you are risking everything for a plan that you don't even understand." Ju'er exposed mercilessly.
"Haha, Ximi did nothing wrong." Zhang Bo suddenly interrupted the topic, "You are all the best. You are willing to choose to live in this era. There is nothing more amazing than this decision."
"Look, Uncle Zhang said I did nothing wrong!" Ximi proudly put her hands on her hips, but she soon asked in confusion, "Uncle Zhang, as far as I know, the soul-returning technique will continue to consume the soul, why do you look fine?"
"Well." Zhang Bo knocked on his skull. "Because he stuffed me with a lot of high-quality soul energy, so I'm fine now. Before these souls are completely burned out, I should be fine."
"How long can those souls burn?" Ximi's face showed worry. As far as she knew, the soul-recalling technique could burn souls very quickly.
"Hmm...it should be able to burn for a few decades."
When these words were spoken, Ximi and Ju'er were dumbfounded. This soul was too flammable. It had been burning for decades, and they thought it would only take a few days to be burned up.
"Who is he?" The next moment, the two said in unison.
"He is..."
"Yes, it's me!"
Just as Zhang Bo was about to speak, a blue figure suddenly jumped out from the underground pipe. The lavender skin, blood-red eyes, and the iconic blue short-sleeved suit made the three people recognize him at once.
"Apprentice, I'm so glad that you're okay!" Ximi said happily when she saw that Xia Yu's clothes were not even damaged.
"Welcome back, apprentice." Ju'er also smiled.
But as they laughed, the two of them looked at each other in confusion at the same time.
"Did the apprentice just speak?"
"Well...if I heard correctly, it should be."
"Don't be confused, I did speak."
"Eh?" Ximi's face stretched in surprise. "So you can speak, apprentice? Then why didn't you speak before?"
"I think the apprentice thinks you're too stupid, so he doesn't want to talk to you." Ju'er said disdainfully, "I feel sorry for the apprentice to have a boss like you."
"How is that possible? I'm an excellent boss." Ximi suddenly raised his smug face, "My labor insurance benefits are very good, including follow-up resurrection for accidental sudden death at work. You don't have to worry about sudden death from overtime. Although there are no rest days and wages, you can learn a lot!"
"...People like you would have been hung under the street lamp in the past." Ju'er couldn't help but complain.
"Being a boss requires a boss's vision and assigning work to the right people is the leader's responsibility."
