Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space-Chapter 25: Golden-colored Crystal Core ( 1 )

As soon as Jiao Lizhi shouted, everyone turned—just in time to see a metal needle hurtling toward Chu Zhimiao at a fast speed.

Although she had joined the team and gone out to find supplies, Li Yang had always protected her. As a pampered daughter from a wealthy family, she had zero combat experience.

When she was facing a life and death situation, Chu Zhimiao couldn't move due to fear. Just as she thought death was inevitable, a shadow appeared in front of her.

A split second before the metal needle pierced her body, Jiao Lizhi swung her boning knife.

Clang! Crack!

The needle deflected due to her attack force, slamming into a nearby wall. Dust exploded into the air as cracks spread across the concrete like a spiderweb.

Jiao Lizhi's arm went numb from the collision force, but she had no time to recover. A heavy pressure surged toward her, making her heart beating fast. Without thinking, she spun around and kicked Chu Zhimiao.

Duagh!

The impact sent Chu Zhimiao flying into Mo Binxue and several nearby men. They crashed to the ground with loud thuds.

The moment Jiao Lizhi sent her away, she turned and raised her boning knife.

Clang! Boom!

A deafening collision sent dust and debris flying. As the dust settled, Jiao Lizhi found herself face-to-face with a grotesque half-rotten creature. For the first time after her rebirth, fear flickered in her eyes.

The zombie's soulless black eyes locked onto hers. Unlike other zombies, it didn't roar or move mindlessly. It simply stared at her—silent and calculating. Then, as if reading her thoughts, a sinister smile crept across the human half of its face.

The moment she saw it, Jiao Lizhi's body reacted before her mind could process the situation. She bent her knees and leaped back.

While she was in the air, she saw the zombie suddenly disappear from the spot. In a blink of an eye, it reappeared behind her.

Sensing the danger, she whirled around, crossing her arms to block the attack.

Duagh! Boom!

The zombie's metal arm struck her with heavy force, sending her flying out of the supermarket lot. Her body slammed into a massive tree across the road and her arms swollen rapidly. Blood trickled from the corner of her lips as she slid down the rough bark.

"Cough!"

As soon as the zombie landed, it grinned and lunged toward her.

"Be careful!" Pei Yijun shouted while waving his hand.

Jiao Lizhi's eyes sharpened the moment she heard his voice. She gritted her teeth, endured the throbbing pain, and raised her hand.

Crack! Prank!

A transparent water shield materialized in a second—only to shatter instantly under the zombie's metal fist.

At the same time, a bolt of lightning struck the zombie's back, halting its movement for a brief moment.

Seizing the opportunity, Jiao Lizhi flicked her wrist, sending three water blades slicing toward the zombie's head at a fast speed.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The blades struck the zombie's neck—but failed to pierce its metal-covered skin. Seeing this, her expressions darkened.

After the zombie regained its movement, it swung its metal fist again. Jiao Lizhi narrowed her eyes, rolling to the side—barely dodging the attack.

Crack!

Its fist embedded itself deep into the tree trunk, leaving a gaping hole.

Standing a few meters from the zombie, Jiao Lizhi was breathing heavily. She turned to glare at Pei Yijun and his team and shouted, "Are you all just here to watch the show?! Attack it together!"

When they heard her words, they regained their senses.

Although they had all awakened their abilities, no one dared to face the zombie head-on after witnessing how it had bashed Jiao Lizhi. After all, they were only ordinary people before the apocalypse. Not to mention fighting against powerful monsters, they did not even dare to go against their class' bully.

Seeing that no one took action, Li Yang clenched his fists and rushed toward the zombie, aiming his punch at its back.

The moment Chu Zhimiao saw this, her eyes widened in horror as she shouted, "Li Yang!"

Duagh!

Due to her shouting, the zombie turned around and blocked the incoming attack.

As Li Yang's fist collided with the zombie's metal arm, his bones broke, and his flesh was torn. Blood seeped from his wounds, dripping to the ground.

The zombie's black eyes glinted with excitement as it caught the scent of blood. Before Li Yang could react, it reached out its huge metal arm and grabbed him.

"Akh!" Li Yang let out a scream as the zombie tightened its grip around his body.

He felt his organs being squeezed together, and his entire body was in pain. The taste of iron surged up his throat and blood flowed from his lips down to his chin.

Trying to save his friend, Pei Yijun waved his hand, and three thunderbolts flew toward the zombie.

Seeing this, Jiao Lizhi's eyes flashed for a moment, and she flicked her wrist. In an instant, water blades appeared out of thin air and flew toward the thunderbolts.

Crack! Boom!

The moment the water blades and thunderbolts collided, the thunderbolts were absorbed by the water blades.

When everyone saw this, their eyes widened in shock, especially Pei Yijun. His thunder-type ability had strong attack power, yet when faced with the small water blades, it had actually lost!

Ignoring their surprised gazes, Jiao Lizhi raised her swollen arms and clasped her palms together.

In an instant, the water blades fused into one. The crescent-shaped water blade morphed into a round water disk. The edges of the water disk glistened under the sunlight, while sparks of indigo thunder crackled around it.

With a wave of her hand, the water disk flew toward the zombie, aiming for the back of its neck.

Noticing the incoming attack, the zombie leaped back, avoiding the strike.

After a series of attacks, Pei Yijun's teammates finally took action. Three wooden balls shot forward at high speed, aiming at the zombie.

Crack! Crack! Crack!
