After the call ended, Shen Jinzhe asked, "Brother Feng, did something happen to your brother?"
"It’s nothing. He asked me to get some high-level crystal cores for him. Maybe he wants to attempt a breakthrough."
Hearing this, Shen Jinzhe nodded and stopped asking. The two of them were busy killing surrounding zombies and had no time for idle chat.
Unlike the red zones in Zhuji City, the red zones in this city were filled with level 2 zombies, and the number of level 3 zombies was high.
In this red zone, they already killed at least 3,000 level 3 zombies, but the number was not decreasing. It was as if they were facing a zombie horde.
Although they were also at level 3, the zombies didn’t feel pain or fatigue. They also had more stamina and strength, making prolonged battles disadvantageous for the Phantom Team.
Fortunately, they had a large supply of water created by their Sister-in-law. Consuming it could help them recover their ability’s energy and stamina. If they were exhausted, they would absorb the crystal cores she provided.
Compared to normal crystal cores, the ones distributed to them had clearer color and purer energy, making them easier to absorb and able to contain more energy.
While the members were tired, the constant draining and recovery of energy pushed them to continue expanding their energy pool, and they already felt the barrier to the next level loosening.
Although they were delighted by their progress, they were also worried about the strange situation. It was very rare for so many level 3 zombies to gather at the same place.
After killing another level 3 zombie, Zhang Yuan looked at his mentee and asked, "Ruanyi, can you continue?"
Su Ruanyi’s forehead and back were covered with cold sweat. She felt a severe headache and tried to hold on, but the dizziness was too much. With a pale face, she gasped for breath and said, "Vice Captain, I’m afraid I can’t continue."
Noticing her condition, Zhang Yuan raised his hand and created a dome-like earth barrier around them. Holding her wrist, he used his energy to check her body.
"Are you a fool?" he asked with a hint of anger.
Su Ruanyi wanted to retort, but she was too weak and could only lean against his chest with her eyes closed.
"Next time, stop when you’re close to your limit. Tell me when you’re tired. Do you understand?"
Her mind was already starting to blur, but she could still hear him, so she nodded weakly. Before she lost consciousness, she felt warm energy enter her body. Soon after, the dizziness lessened, and she slowly regained her senses.
Ten minutes later, she felt sudden pain shoot through her entire body. She bit her lips and let out a groan.
"Concentrate your energy and circulate it around your body. Don’t be afraid. I’m here. Nothing will happen to you," Zhang Yuan said as he absorbed the Sthanam crystal’s energy and transferred it to her.
She was too weak to guide the energy herself, so he had to help her using his own energy. At this moment, he was feeling the tearing pain in his body due to the backlash from Su Ruanyi’s uncontrolled energy.
When the members saw the dome-like barrier, they became worried. Qin Luzi checked his map and said, "Su Ruanyi is in the process of breaking through."
