Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Back in the Space

Lu Zhen and Leng Pan returned to their apartment and took a shower. These past few days they had been so busy that they hadn’t had any time to stop and relax.

Now that they heard about the group of people looking for them, they were even more unlikely to stop. However, today they decided to dedicate at least two hours to each other.

They hadn’t made love for days and they craved each other. So, after taking a shower and getting into bed, their hands were all over each other as if they had communicated in advance.

It didn’t take long for moans and grunts to fill the spacious bedroom.

Two hours later, they were taking another shower after marital satisfaction.

When they went back to bed, instead of lying down to sleep, they sat down with Lu Zhen holding his wife in his arms.

“Baby, you want to go into the space, don’t you?” Lu Zhen said as he brushed Leng Pan’s hair with his fingers.

“Yeah, we have both advanced in superpowers and also gained some combat experience. Especially since we have also had close-combat training with those zombies.

I am sure we can take on several people when fighting. We also have several attack and defense techniques that can protect us in case we get overwhelmed.

I see no reason to be overly cautious and probably miss an opportunity to get stronger.” Leng Pan explained her reasoning to her husband.

“You are right. Being in contact with that meteorite gives us new opportunities to gain more power. So, not using it for fear of being discovered is superfluous.

Moreover, while we hold ourselves back to avoid them, they are closing in on us. It’s better to take time and gain more leverage than just avoiding the problem.” Lu Zhen agreed with his wife’s suggestion.

Indeed, their not using the resources they had for fear of being discovered was both cowardly and unreasonable. Especially since being in contact with the meteorite didn’t just benefit them but their family too.

“Let’s go take a look now. I have a feeling that we will gain something new.” Leng Pan said, and before Lu Zhen could reply, he felt a wave of dizziness, and he was already standing outside the warehouse like always.

“Maybe give me a heads-up next time?” Lu Zhen said with some helplessness.

His wife could be impatient sometimes.

“Sorry.” Leng Pan replied sheepishly.

She didn’t mean to make him uncomfortable. She was just too eager to see what they would find today.

Holding hands, the two walked to the door of the mansion, and as usual, the human-like AI voice came from inside.

“Welcome back Commander Leng.” As the voice faded, the door that had no handle opened and they walked inside.

The place had not changed after so long. The meteorite was still sitting on the holographic table at the center of the room with the pendant beside it.

The purple sparks and energy pulsing from the meteorite had somewhat intensified.

The two didn’t waste time and went to stand before the table. Stretching out their hands, they placed them on the meteorite.

This time, Lu Zhen also joined Leng Pan and touched the rock.

Feeling a pull, Leng Pan felt her head become a little heavy and the voice coming out of the meteorite became a little clearer.

Though the words said still didn’t make sense to her and made her even more confused, she heard a message this time.

’The second invasion is coming. Must awaken Commander Leng. Find project rebirth.’

The message was short, but had significant implications. However, Leng Pan was still confused as to who this commander Leng really was and what she was supposed to awaken.

After the message repeated three times, it went quiet. Leng Pan felt the familiar pull again and she opened her eyes.

She looked at Lu Zhen beside her and found that he was also opening his eyes.

“Let’s sit down and talk.” Lu Zhen said as he pulled his wife by the hand and went to sit on holographic sofas that resembled the table with a meteorite on it.

As soon as they sat down, the usual voice came again.

“Do you need me to serve tea, Commander Leng?”

Hearing how natural this voice kept calling her Commander Leng and then remembering the message she had just heard gave Leng Pan goosebumps.

She was getting more and more confused instead of gaining clarity.

For the first time, she didn’t care what this tea was and just agreed. She needed something to calm her nerves.

“Don’t be afraid. I am here.” Lu Zhen held his wife’s hand and comforted her when he felt her raw nerves that were almost screaming her insecurity.

He hadn’t expected coming into contact with the meteorite to cause such a reaction from her. He didn’t know what she saw, but if she also received a message like his, it might be confusing.

Heck! He has confused himself, but seeing his wife like that, he knew that he didn’t have the luxury of being confused.

Feeling Lu Zhen’s hand caressing hers, Leng Pan took a deep breath and calmed down.

Yes, she wasn’t alone. Why was she panicking? She still didn’t even know what was happening. Why should she let fear or confusion control her?

Just take the bull by the horns and confront whatever is coming. As the two comforted each other, two cups appeared on the coffee table in front of them.

This time, the cup didn’t look holographic but was a real ceramic cup. Leng Pan wanted to say, ’How ancient!’

After all, everything else in that mansion looked like something high-tech that could never be found in this world. So, seeing something that wasn’t made of such technology was surprising.

Leng Pan took a cup and looked at the liquid inside. It indeed smelled like some kind of tea, but whether it was really tea or something else, she wasn’t sure.

Lu Zhen also took his cup and before Leng Pan could comment about how the tea looked so real and not holographic, he had already taken a sip.

Leng Pan was shocked as she found the things here weird and didn’t know if the tea was fit for human consumption.

Lu Zhen, of course, had the same thoughts. That was why he took a sip first to test what it was before his wife could. If it was poison, then so be it. He had to take it first.

Leng Pan turned to observe her husband with a worried expression. She was afraid that the tea wasn’t really tea and might harm him.
