Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space novel Chapter 53

Li Yang had already noticed about the crystal, but the thought of digging through rotting brains made his stomach churn. He shook his head and said, "If you want them, get them yourself. I'm not touching that disgusting stuff."

Chu Zhimiao pouted when he rejected her suggestion but didn't argue.

Gripping her kitchen knife tightly, she approached the corpse of a zombie their team had killed. Taking a deep breath, she raised her knife and chopped at its skull.

Since her knife was sharp, she managed to split the head with two strikes. Black blood and putrid brain matter oozed out, releasing a stench so foul it made her gag.

"Urgh!" She nearly vomited as the rancid smell hit her.

With teary eyes, she forced herself to stir the mussy, rotten brain. After a few seconds, her fingers brushed against something hard—she had found a crystal.

Her hands trembled as she picked it up. Creating a small ball of water, she carefully washed the crystal and her hands clean before keeping it into her pocket.

Thanks to the soldiers, she and her team hadn't needed to fight much. By the time the zombies were cleared, her group had only killed four zombies.

She went to check their heads. Out of the four, only one contained a crystal.

From this, she realized that although zombies had grown stronger, not all of them carried these crystals. If they were rare, then they were likely valuable. With this conclusion, the thought of digging through rotten brains no longer seemed unbearable.

Not far away, Jiao Lizhi watched her with an amused smile. Compared to the guys, Chu Zhimiao was more observant.

Ten minutes later, the soldiers finished collecting their crystals and gathered around Chen Qianfeng.

"Brother Qianfeng, help us wash these," Xiao Qi said.

Chen Qianfeng snapped his fingers, summoning several floating balls of water above their palms. With another snap, the water balls burst apart, cleansing the crystals of blood and dirt.

Once clean, Xiao Qi took out a bag from his storage space. The soldiers carefully placed the crystals inside before Xiao Qi tied the bag and stored it back into his space.

At this moment, they had collected a total of 17 transparent crystals.

Qin Luzi stood still for a moment before announcing, "Brothers, the area is clear. We can go inside."

The soldiers nodded and walked toward the warehouse gate. Wen Mo stepped forward and raised his hand. Within seconds, the heavy padlock clicked open.

After removing the lock, they pushed the gate wide. When they saw the items inside, their eyes lit up. Inside, towering stacks of boxes filled the massive warehouse, reaching almost to the ceiling.

Seeing this, the soldiers grinned from ear to ear. Without waiting for orders, they rushed inside and began loading the boxes onto the trucks.

Standing nearby, Pei Yijun looked at his friends and said, "Let's go."

He and his team also started gathering supplies, filling their cars with food. Now that Chu Zhimiao could produce two gallons of water daily, they prioritized stocking up on food.
