Although Jiao Lizhi was confused, she also felt happy. Since she could absorb back the energy spent on attacking, she could save more energy during the fight.
When two ability-users with similar strength fight, the one with more energy would be the winner, therefore, her ability to absorb back the power would be her trump card.
As her mind raced, she opened the door and entered the guard post. Looking at the torn flesh, bone pieces, and dried blood on the ground, she guessed that one of the guards had turned into a zombie and the other had been eaten alive.
Even if the blood scent had dispersed, she still didn't want to spend the night here. She sighed, then turned around and went to check another guard post.
There were four main entrances to Lin'an University, and a guard post was located near each. Since this one couldn't be used, she just needed to find another.
Due to the number of zombies, it took her a long time before she finally found an empty guard post at the west entrance of Lin'an University.
After entering the post, she locked the door and windows before using duct tape found inside to seal the gaps on the windows and door.
Although the zombies outside were normal zombies, it was better to be more careful. It would be troublesome if a level-one zombie were nearby and attracted by her scent.
When she was done, she sat in the chair in the corner and took out a loaf of bread from her space. Instead of drinking the mineral water she collected from the mini market, she filled an empty bottle with pond water.
She was so thirsty that she felt her throat burning and finished half the water in several gulps. Letting out a sigh, she touched her throat and thought, 'Strange, why does this water taste better than before?'
Although Jiao Lizhi didn't know the reason, she felt better after drinking it. Not only did her exhaustion and soreness in her body lessen, but her fever also seemed to subside. She also felt that there was a faint energy similar to the one stored in the crystal cores in the water.
Taking out the thermometer, she checked her temperature. After a beep, she saw the number 37.1°C.
'My fever had finally subsided,' she thought inwardly.
Feeling relieved, she finished her bread and drank the rest of the water before closing her eyes to get some sleep.
At the same time, ten kilometers away from Lin'an University, a group of soldiers was fighting zombies at a gas station.
Their clothes were stained with black blood and rotten flesh as they killed the zombies with military combat daggers and blades.
The soldiers stood in a half-circle formation with their backs to the armored vehicles and the military tactical trucks. On either side of the vehicles, groups of ten to fifteen soldiers fought against the incoming wave of zombies.
'No–I don't want to die!' he thought inwardly. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
