Gavin, without batting an eye, pulled a crystal core from the zombie's head, held it in his hand, and examined it carefully.

"It really does look like crystal. It's a bit unbelievable. How could this thing grow out of nothing in the zombie's head in just a few days?"

After he finished speaking, not expecting an answer from Li Xin'er, he immediately raised the crystal core in his hand and asked Li Xin'er,

Is there anything else I need to do?

"Just wash it clean and give it to me." Li Xin'er turned to the large white goose that had just finished rinsing it and called out, "Iron pot!"

Although there was water in the space, it still needed to be put into containers. Not wanting to waste containers, she was also responsible for watering the plants...

I really didn't want to do anything, so the iron pot came in handy again.

Upon hearing Li Xin'er's call, Tie Guo immediately abandoned Ali and ran towards her eagerly.

Master, the goose is here to poop~

As soon as they arrived, they heard Li Xin'er give the order:

"Fighter jet, come over here and take care of this. Give the iron pot to Gavin and rinse it with water."

The intelligence of these two mutated beasts is equivalent to that of an eight or nine-year-old human child, and they have no problem understanding her commands.

They took immediate action, and with the addition of two more, they gained experience and found it quite easy to do.

The fighter jet spat out small flames, burning the zombie's head fragments completely without affecting the surrounding area.

The iron pot opened its mouth, and a clear water-based supernatural power 'pouring out'.

Gavin was speechless upon seeing it and exclaimed in admiration:

"They are really smart, and this evolution in the face of the apocalypse is amazing."

Li Xin'er couldn't bear to look directly at the iron pot's superpower. At least Li Feng's water-based superpower came from his palm.

The iron pot...it always feels like saliva in my mouth~

But if it weren't for its mouth, it would also come from its hands...claws?

Li Xin'er's gaze silently shifted downwards, glancing at the goose feet in the iron pot; they didn't seem to be in much better shape.

Thinking about it that way, I can't even look at the dishes and chopsticks that were washed with a water-based superpower using an iron pot...

While Li Xin'er's thoughts were racing, Gavin was carefully cleaning the crystal core with the iron pot's water-based superpower, while also glancing at the iron pot's head.

After the iron pot awakened its supernatural power and 'expanded' its size, the lump on the goose's head, which is a 'fleshy tumor,' also grew larger.

The fleshy growth on a goose is not a "tumor" in the pathological sense. It is controlled by male hormones and is a characteristic of male geese. It is less noticeable on female geese, similar to the "comb" on a rooster's head.

Gavin's eyes were full of curiosity. If zombies had mutated powers, could they also have them?

Thinking about it this way, Gavin's gaze towards the iron pot became even more intense.

The iron pot felt a chill run down its spine under his gaze. Seeing that the crystal core was clean, it quickly ran away.

Always saying "the troublemaker wants to eat goose!" That scares the goose to death! It's safer to just wash dishes with that idiot!

"Look how scared you are of the iron pot! If you're frightened, will you compensate me with a portable water source?"

Li Xin'er teased Gavin, who then handed her the cleaned crystal core.

"I wouldn't dare scare it; it's just too timid."

After taking it, Li Xin'er raised an eyebrow slightly and said teasingly:

"Isn't it because you're too terrifying? Iron Pot is a fighting goose that dares to chase vultures."

"Haha, that's because vultures are too useless."

Gavin's voice was loud enough that even the vultures far away could hear him, and they started shouting at the top of their lungs.

"Grey Magpie! Don't you dare ruin my reputation in front of Sister Xin!"

Gavin shrugged indifferently, feigning helplessness and disdain.

"See? To be honest, he's not happy about it yet."

Li Xin'er smiled and walked towards the car first, with Gavin following closely behind.

At this moment, the people from Zhan Yi started chatting again, one after another. With so many people, it was lively, and any topic could generate a lot of responses.

Holding the crystal core in her hand, Li Xin'er did not immediately put it into her spatial storage.

A level 1 crystal core can be exchanged for 10 points. She's not in a hurry to use points to exchange for supermarket supplies. As for opening the third floor, compared to 100 million, 10 points are clearly a drop in the bucket.

There are too few level 1 zombies right now. She plans to do some research first, and then wait about half a month until level 1 zombies are everywhere.

In addition, China has a large population base, which is also one of its advantages.

Of the people on the field, only Gavin and Carl, who went to the zoo with Li Xin'er, knew about the existence of the crystal core.

The others, seeing the two of them struggle to bring back a head, then fiddle with it for a while and create something that looked like crystal,

The vulture, being quite outspoken and curious, asked directly:

"Sister Xin, what is this? Did you get it from that head?"

Li Xin'er casually tossed the crystal core towards the vulture.

"Crystal core, something that you'll find in the head of a level 1 zombie."

She never intended to hide the crystal core; it was only a matter of time before everyone found out. Besides, she had already revealed many unusual things, so one more wouldn't make a difference.

Furthermore, she also planned to have the people from Zhan Yi provide labor to collect crystal cores for her.

She doesn't have the patience to pick the kernels one by one herself, and then pick them up and wash them...

The vulture took the crystal core, held it in its hand, and examined it in astonishment, turning it over and over.

"A crystal core?!"

Others also curiously gathered around, each eager to pass it around for a peek.

The pigeon, however, grasped the key point and asked incredulously:

"Level 1 zombie? Sister Xin, do zombies have different levels?"

"Humans can evolve superpowers, and zombies can evolve as well, just a little later."

What we see now are mostly ordinary zombies. Once this crystal core grows in their heads, they will reach Level 1.
