Jiao Lizhi stepped forward and created a water ball. Using her body to block Wen Mo's gaze, she secretly collected the metal ball into her space for a few seconds.
Then, she took it out and smiled when she saw the shiny surface of the metal ball. To cover up her sneaky move, she washed the metal with the water ball and said, "Brother Wen, it's done."
Wen Mo walked over and was surprised to see how clean the metal looked. He checked the metal ball and said, "Sister-in-law, you cleaned it really well. We can definitely reuse this."
"I'm happy to help. If you need to clean more next time, just let me know," Jiao Lizhi replied with a smile.
"Okay."
Once they were done clearing the road, they got back into their vehicles and drove toward the husbandry area. Sitting in the car, Jiao Lizhi stared blankly out the window.
Jin Xuyan noticed but assumed she was just tired and let her be. Unbeknownst to him, Jiao Lizhi was actually checking her space using her mind.
Thanks to the team clearing out so many zombies, she could no longer keep track of how many crystal cores were stored in her space.
Being frugal, she didn't want to use crystal cores to support her space if she could avoid it. Instead, she often collected items stained with black blood or zombie remains into her space so the space could just absorb the energy.
Thinking about her space's ability to absorb the zombie virus, she wondered if she could just put zombies into her space and let it absorb them like it did with Mo Binxue.
If this method is feasible, then she could save energy to kill zombies, and at the same time, save crystal cores to support her own space.
'Maybe I can try it later when we are clearing zombies again,' she thought to herself.
After checking the crystal cores, she turned to the granary. The amount of corn stored there was steadily increasing. However, there were no other crops. Since she had obtained seeds for other types of plants, she wanted to plant them.
With that thought in mind, she checked her farmland—and was stunned by what she saw.
The trees and bushes she had planted earlier had grown so fast that she doubted her eyes. The strawberry bushes were already bearing small fruits, while the trees had grown taller and begun to sprout flowers.
She thought for a moment and decided to move the trees to the grassland then using the black soil to plant rice instead. As for the corn, she planned to replace it with wheat and potatoes to produce more flour.
Opening the settings, she saw that she needed to wait fifteen minutes before the corn was ready for harvest. While waiting, she moved the trees from the farmland and replanted them behind the house.
By the time she was done, the corn was ready for harvest. After collecting the crops, she used 100 m² of black soil to plant paddy, 50 m² for wheat, and 50 m² for potatoes.
She then checked the oxygen level and noticed that it had increased by 10% after adding more crops.
Just as she finished planting her farmland, she heard Jin Xuyan's voice, "Ah Zhi, we are here."
Hearing this, she withdrew her mind from her space and looked outside. The area was filled with zombies and animal bones scattered on the road. Judging from the scene, the chances of finding any living animals were very low.
