Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space-Chapter 26: Golden-colored Crystal Core ( 2 )
While this attack was effective against a normal zombie, in front of a level-two zombie, it was a child play. Before the wooden balls could hit the zombie, they were shattered by three metal needles.
The zombie looked at them, and with a wave of its rotten arm, the supermarket's signboard suddenly flew toward them.
Seeing this, another member raised his hand, and an earth wall appeared above them.
BAM! Crack!
The signboard smashed into the earth wall with a loud crash, cracking it instantly.
"Cough!" The man coughed up a mouthful of blood as he struggled to hold back the heavy signboard.
He gasped, feeling himself reaching his limit and squeezed a word out, "Run!"
Hearing this, they quickly moved to the side. The next moment, the earth wall shattered, and the man barely avoided the signboard by jumping back.

Bam!
The signboard fell to the ground with a heavy thud, sparks of fire flickering as the metal scraped against the pavement.
Noticing that attacking with their abilities was useless, Pei Yijun took out his dagger and rushed toward the zombie.
Duagh!
The zombie still refused to let go of Li Yang and raised its leg. With a powerful kick, Pei Yijun was sent flying, slamming into a wall. It all happened in mere seconds.
Jiao Lizhi quickly assessed their situation and realized that Pei Yijun and his team were not helping at all. Their chances of winning were slim, and the best strategy was to escape.
But after expending so much energy fighting this zombie, Jiao Lizhi was unwilling to retreat. Thinking about how many soldiers had died at this zombie's hands in her previous life, she swallowed the iron taste in her throat and pressed on.
Focusing her energy on her palm, she controlled the water disk to continue attacking the zombie. Its speed increased as it spun faster and faster.
The zombie dodged her attacks while fending off Pei Yijun and his teammates.
Crack!
After several attempts, her water blade finally cracked the zombie's neck. The layer of metal covering its neck shattered, revealing the rotten flesh underneath.
As the water disk embedded itself in the zombie's neck, Jiao Lizhi clenched her fist, and the water disk turned into liquid instantly. The next moment, the water seeped into the zombie's body, carrying Pei Yijun's thunder with it.
With the electricity wreaking havoc inside the zombie, its grip on Li Yang loosened. Seeing this, Pei Yijun quickly rushed over, kicking the zombie in the chest while simultaneously pulling Li Yang away.
Bam!
The zombie crashed to the ground, struggling to get up. Its mouth opened wide as it let out a silent roar, its black eyes locking onto Jiao Lizhi with murderous intent.
Jiao Lizhi gritted her teeth and withstood the pressure emanating from the zombie. Using her left hand to continue attacking it from the inside, she raised her right arm.
The moment she opened her palm, five water arrows condensed in less than a second. With a swing of her arm, the water arrows shot forward at high speed, piercing the zombie's head.
Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab!
Fearing the attack was not enough, she used the last of her energy to transform the water arrows into a water blade. With a flick of her wrist, the water blade sliced through the zombie's neck, striking the exposed area beneath the metal layer.
The next second, black blood spurted from the severed neck as the head rolled to the ground.
As soon as the zombie was killed, Jiao Lizhi coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed. The water blade dissolved into a splash of water, soaking the road.
Holding her head, she endured the severe headache and nausea—signs of overusing her ability-energy.
Not far from her, Pei Yijun and his team members sprawled on the ground, covered in injuries. The battle had lasted less than ten minutes, but it felt as if a century had passed.
Pei Yijun pushed himself up and said, "Chu Zhimiao, check on Li Yang's condition. The three of you, go inside and get water and some medicine."
Hearing his words, they struggled to their feet and quickly went to carry out their tasks.
After splitting the tasks, Pei Yijun dragged his feet and walked toward Jiao Lizhi to check on her condition. Seeing that her arms were swollen and her face was pale, he said, "Let's go. I will help you to the car. You need to rest and treat your injuries."
Feeling his touch, Jiao Lizhi pushed his hands away and said, "I'm fine."
Pushing herself up, she took several deep breaths and suppressed the nausea. After a while, only a headache remained. Although it was painful, it was bearable.
Ignoring Pei Yijun's concern, she walked to her car. Opening the door, she unzipped her backpack and took out a bottle of pond water. She quickly drank it in several gulps. After finishing, her headache lessened, and her energy recovered slightly.
She grabbed another bottle and drank it. Once she finished the second one, she felt much better and let out a sigh of relief. Her previous boning knife had broken during the fight, so she took out another one from her space.
After closing the car door, she walked toward the zombie's head. With a swift motion, she swung her knife, splitting it in half. Black blood and rotten matter spilled onto the ground as she stirred the brain.
A moment later, she found a golden-colored crystal core, about the size of a thumbnail. Holding the core, she created a small water ball and used it to clean it.
Looking at the shimmering crystal core, a smile finally appeared on her face. Obtaining a level-two metal-type crystal core was an unexpected but welcome surprise. Although the battle had been dangerous, she had gained a lot.
She could feel that after the fight, the barrier of her energy had weakened. If she fought a few more rounds, she might be able to break through to the next level.
