With most of the zombies in the area already killed by Pei Yijun and his group, their journey back to the lecture hall was smooth. freewёbnoνel.com
Tailing them at a slow pace, Jiao Lizhi stops to examine the heads of the dead zombies. Using her wooden stick, she poked and stirred the charred brains, searching for crystal cores.
Some of the zombies' brains were burned by Pei Yijun's thunder-type ability and turned into a crisp, black charcoal. With just a light thrust of her wooden stick, the brains crumbled into blackened dust.
If there was a crystal core hidden within, it would remain intact and would glisten under the sunlight. Unfortunately, she found none so far.
At this moment, Jiao Lizhi was like a hardworking honey bee.
She continued her tedious task of poking and stirring the zombie's brain until her arm ached. Yet, out of countless zombies, she found only a level-one blue crystal core with a size no larger than her pinky nail.
Letting out a sigh, she examined the small crystal core. Its faint glow shimmering under the sunlight like a luminous pearl. Despite her frustration, she carefully stored the crystal core in her space.
Unbeknownst to her, the moment she stored the crystal core in her space, something unexpected happened.
Inside her space, the blue crystal core suddenly crumbled into dust, and the energy it stored floated in the air momentarily before being absorbed by the pond.
As the energy disappeared, the hole at the bottom of the pond released a surge of water.
Although the pond was already filled to the brim, the water continued gushing out without a hint of stopping. Strangely, it never overflowed, and the water level remained constant.
Outside the space, Jiao Lizhi finally finished checking the zombies' brains and found three more transparent crystal cores.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead with a smile. She looked at the lecture hall building for a moment before turning around. If nothing unexpected happens, this group of people should leave the university in one or two days.
Rather than waiting with a group of selfish people, she better find a safe place near the university entrance. She still had a fever and needed to rest to recover. If her fever kept dragging on, she didn't know what would happen to her already weak body.
If she recalled correctly, there was a small post for the security guard to stay in. Although the area was small, the post had iron doors and window bars, which made it safer than other places.
