Chapter 318: Dangerous Breaking Through ( 3 )
The next moment, the zombie virus entered Jiao Lizhi's space together with a wisp of her energy. Since the energy disappeared suddenly, it disturbed the energy flow in Chen Zhiyi's body.
With the energy going out of control, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Startled by this, Jiang Lixin quickly used her energy to heal her husband. While he was injured, Chen Zhiyi continued absorbing the crystal cores and used the energy to suppress the violent energy inside him.
Jiao Lizhi was also taken aback and stopped collecting the zombie virus from his body.
While this method was faster in removing the zombie virus, it was too dangerous. Therefore, she could only use her energy to heal his injuries and suppress the virus while Chen Zhiyi focused on breaking through.
Two hours later, a burst of energy waves spread out from Chen Zhiyi's body as he broke through to level one.
Unlike others, his breakthrough was not as smooth as usual. As the energy waves spread out, he suddenly collapsed, and a layer of ice started forming on his skin, slowly covering him.
Seeing this, Jiao Lizhi turned to her fiancé and shouted, "Brother Yan, we need your help!"
Hearing this, Jin Xuyan sheathed his longsword and leapt toward them. When he arrived, he grabbed Chen Zhiyi's arm and sent his energy into his body. In a few seconds, the ice covering his body slowly melted until it disappeared completely.
While he was transferring his energy into Chen Zhiyi's body, he said, "He is overusing his energy. After resting for a few days, he will be fine."
Jiao Lizhi nodded, leaned closer to him, and asked, "Brother Yan, you are a fire-type ability-user while Brother Chen is an ice-type ability-user. Will it damage his organs if you transfer your energy to him like this?"
Jin Xuyan nodded and replied, "He will suffer some damage due to the incompatibility. But besides me, no one could transfer the energy fast enough to keep up with the draining."
Recalling the green liquid she saw before, Jiao Lizhi said, "How about we let Brother Yin Yusheng try?"
Since there was a wood-type ability-user who could heal others using his energy in his previous life, Jin Xuyan nodded and said, "Yusheng, come over and try to transfer your energy to Chen Zhiyi."
When everyone heard this, they were stunned. This was the first time they had heard that they could transfer their energy to others.
Even though he was skeptical, Yin Yusheng still walked over and asked, "Captain, how can I do it?"
"You need to have skin contact with him and then focus your energy into your hand. Afterward, just send the energy into his body. Remember to try it first and don't use too much energy, or you might kill him accidentally," Jin Xuyan said.
After hearing this, Yin Yusheng nodded and did as his Captain instructed. While he was sending his energy into Chen Zhiyi's body, the little sunflower suddenly popped out from his wrist.
Seeing its master transferring energy into another person, it was unhappy. It also needed energy to grow. Rather than letting its master waste his energy on others, it was better to consume it itself.
As the sunflower thought of this, it suddenly absorbed Yin Yusheng's energy. Feeling his energy being taken by the sunflower instead, he asked, "What are you doing?"
As if it understood his words, the sunflower used its leaves to touch its thin stalk. Five minutes later, the sunflower grew a little bit. When it felt full, it opened its mouth and spat at Chen Zhiyi.
Unlike the green liquid, this time, it spat out a sticky, transparent liquid. As the liquid touched Chen Zhiyi's skin, it seeped into his body through the pores.
The sunflower was a hardworking little flower. Since its master wanted to help this person, it continued spitting at his face.
Spit! Spit! Spit!
Everyone was dumbfounded as they watched this. Xiao Qi was so stunned that it took him a while to recover his senses and said, "Damn, this little sunflower is so rude. It's actually spitting at Brother Chen!"
While everyone was at a loss, Jiao Lizhi exchanged glances with Jin Xuyan. At the same time, Mo Junjie's eyes lit up as he stared at the little sunflower.
At that moment, he only wanted to cut off Yin Yusheng's wrist and take the little sunflower to the lab to experiment on it. Such a rare specimen, it would be a waste not to do some research and find out its benefits.
Suddenly, the little sunflower shivered and turned its head. The moment it met Mo Junjie's eerie smile, it let out a small yelp and turned into green energy as it hid inside its master's body.
"Where did it go?" Mo Junjie asked.
Before anyone could answer him, Chen Zhiyi finally opened his eyes. He looked at them dazedly and asked, "Am I still alive?"
Seeing that he could still ask such a silly question, Jin Xuyan said, "You are not dead yet."
Then, he stood up and said, "Everyone, clear the zombies before sunset."
"Yes, Captain," the members replied in unison.
When the sun slowly dipped into the western horizon, the last zombie was killed by them. Jin Xuyan cleaned up the battlefield and burned all the zombies' corpses into ashes before Xiao Qi and Feng Yun went to collect the crystals.
As for the metal wall, Wen Mo created a gate and transformed the metal platform into a wall, completely enclosing the school area.
"Captain, the entire school area is clear," Qin Luzi said after checking his map.
"We will stay here for the night and leave tomorrow morning. Rest and take turns patrolling," Jin Xuyan said.
With his order, the members went to find Jiao Lizhi and asked for some water to wash off the black blood and rotting flesh from their bodies before taking out self-heating meals and starting to eat.
