Chapter 144 Joining forces
The cabinet member next to him quickly explained, "According to current speculation, the other party must have undergone such a change after taking that unknown fruit."
"Maybe it's just temporary..." someone speculated with a hopeful mentality.
"Even if it's only temporary, it still has epoch-making significance!" Qiao Zheng refuted harshly.
"Have the research institute produce a report for me as soon as possible! I want to know if Yu Zhi's situation is replicable, and whether the healer has the ability to evolve their talents!"
"We need to negotiate with the Federation. We also need to send a team to Kamius Star as soon as possible after the game."
"Also... don't send anyone to contact Yu Zhi for now. I'll talk to Zhiyu alone. Old Sheng, you should also communicate more with Jiayi."
One decree after another was issued and implemented at a rapid pace.
In addition to these two largest political entities, there are many large and small families and forces, all of which have different ideas, plans, and layouts at this moment.
Some wanted to try to gain the qualification of Yu Zhi's partner or temporary teammate, some wanted to interrogate Yu Zhi in the name of justice, and some were hiding in the dark and planning something...
Besides this.
There was another person who stared at the live broadcast motionlessly, his lower lip bitten to a bloody mess.
——It was Yu Yu who was imprisoned in the Central Star High Prison.
The high-class prison is specially used to detain upper-class citizens who have committed crimes. Cases like Yu Yu's can even be allocated a nice single cell there.
Although compared to her previous life, this place was probably no different from hell to her.
The environment in the high-security prison is quite humane. After completing their daily labor, prisoners have the right to watch major news and live broadcasts.
The event that was broadcast recently was naturally the one that everyone was paying attention to - the Military Academy League team competition.
Yu Yu originally just watched numbly.
All the hatred, indignation and jealousy in my heart are consumed and worn away by these repetitive days.
She had spent all her strength and dignity in these small windows, simple meals and endless handicrafts.
Until she saw the huge ancient tree as big as the one in her dream.
And that identical fruit.
That should have been hers!
The resentment in her heart burst out again, making her want to throw the plate on the table to the ground.
But she already knew the consequences of losing her temper here, which would be being locked up in a small dark room that could drive a person crazy.
The regret was enough to overwhelm her.
But the only thing I regret is why I didn’t wait a little longer.
She had clearly waited until now, waiting for her to take this fruit and gain this ability when she competed—
Then she will truly become irreplaceable.
Even if the Aletraline incident comes out again, she will definitely be saved.
But now, she can only endure these long twelve years in the cold prison.

Inside the stadium.
Xie Wenyu and the others also had many thoughts.
No one knows the effects and feelings of Yu Zhi's healing better than those who have received it personally.
Not only is it possible to provide contactless comfort to multiple people at the same time, but the healing effect this time is also more exaggerated than before.
Xie Wenyu even felt that the flaws in his bloodline inheritance seemed to have been improved a little.
But he couldn't come to a complete conclusion and needed to use instruments to test it.
Sheng Jiayi, who was standing by, suddenly cried out in surprise: "Why do I feel blood..."
Before he could finish his words, Xie Wenyu quickly covered his mouth.
Then he realized that it was not appropriate to discuss these matters in detail in the stadium.
But when they looked at each other, they realized that this was not just one person's illusion.
Xie Wenyu took a look at the Sky Eye in the sky and asked everyone to set up tents and sleeping bags on the trees first.
Taking advantage of the shelter of the tent above his head, he quickly whispered to the other three, "We need to join forces."
The power of any one party alone is not enough to protect Yu Zhi safely under their wings after she has demonstrated such value.
If they were still engaged in internal intrigue and disputes at this time, it would only give opportunities to those who were eyeing them from outside.
You can be jealous of each other over small matters, but you must never fight over big matters.
But if they unite, they will have already taken over the top three companies in the Imperial Federation.
At most, with the addition of Wei Yuan, it would be enough to protect Yu Zhi firmly.
Qiao Zhiyu, Sheng Jiayi, and Chen Wang all understood what Xie Wenyu meant, and reached a consensus without much discussion.
Even though they are rivals in love on weekdays, they are brothers who have fought side by side many times and have true feelings for Zhizhi.
They can accept each other's existence, but they can no longer accept the addition of other people.
——For example, that abominable fire dragon.

It’s getting late to make some trouble.
Sheng Jiayi fulfilled the promise he made yesterday and hunted two long-eared rabbits and a honey pig.
Now there is more than enough food.
Qiao Zhiyu didn't find any wild honey while collecting firewood, but he did find a kind of edible berry.
Grind it into jam and spread it on the barbecue, it tastes sweet and sour.
It also suits Yu Zhi's taste very much.
After a hearty meal, they roasted the remaining honey pork and put it in a sealed bag to be used as breakfast for the next day.
After finishing, Chen Wang put out the fire, buried the bones, and sprinkled insect repellent powder on them to avoid attracting mosquitoes and animals at night.
Tonight it is Xie Wenyu and Yu Zhi's turn to sleep together.
The two men lay side by side in the tent facing each other.
The expression on Xie Wenyu's face was not much different from before, but there was still a hint of worry and solemnity in his eyes.
"Zhizhi," he gently brushed the hair on the side of Yu Zhi's face behind her ear, "After the team competition, you may be asked to cooperate with some examinations."
"But if you don't want to, I can..."
Yu Zhi smiled soothingly and hooked her fingers around his and began to caress them.
"It's okay, it's just a checkup, it won't hurt me, right?"
Xie Wenyu hummed in assurance, "Of course not, no one will be able to hurt you."
"I'm just worried that you might not be used to it, but if you feel uncomfortable in any way, you can stop at any time without any worries."
"I understand." Yu Zhi nodded.
She understood Xie Wenyu's concerns.
The other party understood better than she did the impact and sensation that her healing talent would cause to the entire interstellar society once it was fully demonstrated.
The Federation and the Empire would definitely want to use her to figure out how to evolve the healer's talent.
But as long as her uniqueness remains, and as long as the top leaders of the Federation are not all idiots, there is no need to worry too much about her interests being sacrificed.
Just like how the Empire cherishes their only SSS-level healer, even though the latter is now too old to provide comfort.
After the whole day today, Yu Zhi felt a little tired.
She took the initiative to hug Xie Wenyu and soon fell asleep peacefully.
However, Xie Wenyu was constantly thinking about the necessary follow-up measures in his mind to ensure Yu Zhi's interests and freedom.
