Feeling his headache lessen, Feng Yun continued to absorb another crystal. This time, he tried to guide the energy in his body and was surprised to find that he was able to do it. Every place the energy passed through was no longer as sore as before.
Before he could soothe the soreness of his muscles and joints, the crystal turned into dust. After experiencing the refreshing feeling of absorbing the energy, he no longer hesitated.
When the fourth crystal turned into fine dust, he finally felt that the emptiness in his body caused by the lack of energy had been filled. Standing on the wall, he created another space crack.
Woommm! Crash!
Learning from his experience, he aimed his skill far away from the wall. Since he still didn't know how to completely control it, he only created a bean-sized space crack that lasted for a second.
Even at a smaller size, he could only use his skill six times before draining all of his ability energy.
Seeing that he was absorbing crystal cores again, Xiao Qi said, "Brother, how about you kill the zombies using a boulder like me? Even if your attack is ruthless and fast, it uses too many crystals."
"Do these crystals have any other use?" Feng Yun asked curiously while absorbing the crystal.
Xiao Qi shook his head and replied, "So far, we only know that these crystals can help us recover our energy and increase our ability level. But judging from our situation, money won't have any value anymore, and we might have to use barter in the future."
"These crystals are not easy to get, as not every zombie has one. So, we might be able to use them to exchange for supplies in the future."
Hearing his words, Feng Yun found it made sense. So, after absorbing two more crystals, he stopped and chose to kill the zombies using a big boulder.
This time, he didn't feel any space fluctuation but noticed that his focus and concentration slowly decreased as he collected and took out the boulder. It was as if he were staying up late and overusing his brain.
While the Phantom Team was fighting against the zombies, the Eagle Team successfully left the factory district.
As they drove in the opposite direction, the soldiers sitting on the bus rooftop saw colorful lights flashing from the factory's direction, and everyone could feel the ground shake following the sound of explosions in the distance.
At this moment, the survivors squeezing inside the buses and trucks only felt fortunate that they had survived the calamity.
Most of them felt guilty as they thought about those who stayed behind to ensure their escape, while at the same time feeling helpless and suffocated due to their inability to help the soldiers kill the zombies.
Even Aunt Wang, who believed it was the soldiers' duty to protect them, was lost in her thoughts and her fear after brushing so close to death.
