Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space

With their Captain back, the Phantom team members were no longer as worried as before. While everyone was fighting, Jiao Lizhi went to Chen Zhiyi and handed him a handful of ice-type crystal cores.

Seeing this, Jiang Lixin asked, "Sister, why did you give us so many crystals? We still have some left."

Jiao Lizhi checked Chen Zhiyi's wound and said, "Even though the wound doesn't show any mutation signs, Brother Chen's current level won't be able to suppress or expel the zombie virus from his body. He has to break through level one to increase his chance of survival."

When they heard this, Chen Zhiyi was taken aback. He thought he would be fine after a while. But after hearing her words, he noticed that his limbs were stiffer than before.

While the process wasn't as fast, he was indeed slowly turning into a zombie. Realizing this, he lowered his gaze and said, "I understand."

"Husband, forcefully breaking through might be dangerous," Jiang Lixin said worriedly.

"If I can stay alive and keep my arm, I will take the risk," Chen Zhiyi replied with a smile.

Seeing the determination in his eyes, Jiang Lixin stopped trying to persuade him.

Jiao Lizhi handed the crystal cores to him and said, "Brother Chen, focus your mind and don't worry about anything else. I will stay here to guard you with Sister Jiang. You will be fine."

"Okay."

As Chen Zhiyi started absorbing the energy from the crystals, Jiao Lizhi said, "After absorbing the energy, don't store it directly in your brain. Use the energy to clear the blockage in your meridians and refine your body."

Following her instructions, Chen Zhiyi slowly felt the difference. Before, he only focused on absorbing the energy to improve his ability.

But now, after using the energy to clear the meridians and strengthen his body, he felt that the amount of energy he could absorb was greater than before.

In less than five minutes, one crystal had turned into dust.

With a stronger physique and wider meridians, it would be easier for the ability-user to absorb energy and use it during battle.

While he was absorbing the crystal cores, Li Qixuan was surprised to see how fast his absorption rate was.

Even someone with high talent like himself still needed at least twenty minutes to absorb a crystal, so how could someone with average talent absorb the crystal faster than him?

As he observed Chen Zhiyi, Feng Yun's gaze was locked on him. When he noticed that Li Qixuan was observing the crystal cores in Chen Zhiyi's hand, he moved his body to block his gaze.

As their gazes met, Feng Yun smiled and asked, "Brother Li, if you are distracted during battle, you might lose your life. So, you should focus on the enemies in front of you."

Meeting his cold eyes, Li Qixuan returned the smile and replied, "When I feel tired, I get distracted easily. I might need to rest now, I can't continue fighting for now."

Hearing this, Feng Yun pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, "Brother Li, I didn't know that you were incapable."

The moment he heard those words, Li Qixuan gritted his teeth. No man would accept being called incapable. He forced a smile and said, "Brother Feng, you should watch your words. I'm very capable, okay? I'm just tired."

"Oh? But you said you can't do it anymore," Feng Yun said with doubt.

Right now, Li Qixuan felt that this person was taunting him. If he said he was tired, it was equivalent to admitting that he was incapable. But if he said he was capable, then he couldn't observe Chen Zhiyi and wouldn't be able to find the reason behind his fast absorption rate.

After a moment of hesitation, he still said, "I'm not tired. I still can do it."

Feng Yun smiled when he heard this and patted his shoulder while saying, "Then focus on the enemies. Don't worry about Brother Chen. With Sister-in-law and Sister Jiang guarding him, he will be fine."

Since he had said so, Li Qixuan could only focus on killing the zombies. As for the other matter, he could figure it out later. There was a lot of time in the future, and he was not in a rush.

Meanwhile, Mo Junjie overheard their conversation and glanced at Jiao Lizhi. He had noticed the difference between the crystal cores he obtained from the zombies and the ones given by her.

There were no impurities in the crystals she gave unlike the crystal cores from the zombies, so the absorption rate was higher and faster. He didn't know where she got the crystals or how she removed the impurities, but he was sure it had something to do with either her space or her water.

As a researcher, he was curious about her space and her water-type ability. But without proper tools and machines, even if he wanted to conduct experiments and tests, he couldn't do it now. So, he could only hold back his urge to go into the lab.

In the midst of various thoughts swirling in the team members' minds, Jiao Lizhi was busy guarding Chen Zhiyi.

Even though Jiang Lixin was a healer, her healing-type ability was not even level one, so it would be impossible for her to guide the energy inside her husband's body and help him break through safely.

At this moment, Jiao Lizhi was placing her fingers on Chen Zhiyi's wrist as she sent her energy into his body. Since he was focused on absorbing the energy, he didn't notice an unknown cold energy entering his body.

As her energy probed inside, Jiao Lizhi was surprised when it came into contact with the zombie virus. She wrapped the virus with her energy and tried to send it into her space.

She didn't know if this method was possible, but it wouldn't hurt to try. So after she made up her mind, she thought, 'Collect!'
