Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space novel Chapter 60

Meanwhile, inside the car across from them, Jiao Lizhi leaned against the seat with her eyes closed. After drinking the pond water and eating, she suddenly felt her energy go on a rampage.

This was a sign of breaking through. If she could push past the barrier, she would advance to the next level. If she failed, she could be injured—or worse, die in the process.

Focusing her mind, she guided her energy through her veins, gathering it in her core. Unlike zombies, ability-users' crystal cores only solidified after death.

When alive, their cores functioned more like a cultivator's dantian, storing energy in the brain and circulating it through the veins.

Cold sweat covered her forehead and back as she endured the excruciating pain. It felt as if countless ants were gnawing at her from the inside while her body was being torn apart and reconstructed.

The energy kept circulating through her body, each cycle pushing out impurities through her pores. After countless cycles, the barrier finally cracked.

The moment it broke, a surge of energy rushed into her brain, instantly relieving the pain. Her body felt light and refreshed.

Opening her eyes, she noticed a sticky layer of black liquid covering her skin and frowned. She smelled worse than a zombie. Locking the car doors, she entered her space. As soon as she stepped inside, she rushed to take a shower.

Perhaps her soap was better in this life as she managed to wash away the filth in one go. In her previous life, she had to scrub herself raw before she was able to clean the black liquid on her body.

After changing into fresh clothes, she left her space and reappeared in the car. Stepping out, she took a deep breath and almost choked.

Her five senses had improved—she could see farther and hear more clearly.

The downside? The rancid smell was even stronger than before, making her nose numb.

Pinching her nose, she walked toward the warehouse. Just as she stepped inside, she saw Jin Xuyan approaching.

He handed her a bag, he said, "Ah Zhi, we are done. You can keep the rest of the supplies. These are the crystal cores we gathered. It's for you."

Jiao Lizhi looked at him for a moment and asked, "Brother Yan, are you giving me pocket money?"

Jin Xuyan was momentarily stunned by her words before he chuckled and replied, "If you want to think of it that way, sure."

Then, he rubbed her cheek and added, "Ah Zhi, I will work hard to raise you."

For some reason, Jiao Lizhi blushed when she met his gaze. She pushed his hand away and said, "Help me guard the door."

Seeing her shy expression, Jin Xuyan was in a great mood. He nodded and replied, "Okay."

After the soldiers left, he closed the door and stood outside while Jiao Lizhi quickly stored the rest of the supplies in her space. Fifteen minutes later, she walked out and said, "Brother Yan, I'm done."

Jin Xuyan checked his watch and said, "It will be dark soon. We should find a place to stay for the night."
