The road is now full of zombies lying everywhere, and there are trash cans kicked over by zombies, so the car speed is not fast.

Sometimes you will encounter a fallen tree lying across the middle of the road, and you will need to get out of the car to move it.

Of course, the most common situation is that survivors are driving to escape the city and encounter zombies, and then the car stops in the middle of the road.

So we went around in circles and took a lot of detours.

"At this rate, we're probably going to have to find a place to spend the night." Ye Lingshuang's tone was a little bad.

He even reached out and rubbed Xu Jinyi's light screen ability: "Xiao Jin, if you encounter a large number of zombies, can you stop them?"

Xu Jinyi: "I don't know, I haven't tried it, but as long as I have the crystal core, I can maintain it forever."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingshuang handed over all of her crystal cores: "Then I'll give these to you. No wonder you want all the crystal cores. So this is how this energy comes from."

"Oh my god, haven't you been consuming crystal cores all along the way?! I can't afford to keep you going!"

Seeing that she misunderstood, Xu Jinyi didn't intend to explain.

"You should keep this crystal core for yourself and absorb it. Improve your superpowers as soon as possible. Otherwise, you won't be so lucky to be rescued every time."

"You're sitting in the car anyway, so you might as well take advantage of this opportunity to absorb more crystal cores, raise your superpowers to level two, and kill more zombies."

After hearing the unfamiliar words from Xu Jinyi's mouth, Ye Lingshuang asked her doubts.

"Absorb? Now?"

"If you want to absorb it, you have to go back to the base!"

Ye Lingtian was driving the car, dodging obstacles on the road. He was confused when he heard the conversation between the two.

Ye Lingshuang's words actually confused Xu Jinyi: "We have to go back to base to absorb the crystal core? What are you talking about? Why not just absorb it directly?"

Ye Lingshuang:!!!

Looking at the crystal core in his hand that was emitting a charming blue light and had sharp corners, Ye Lingshuang was horrified.

If you swallow it directly and absorb it, you will probably die before it is fully absorbed!

Seeing her expression, Xu Jinyi became even more confused: "What's that expression?"

It was only then that Ye Lingtian realized that their conversation was not on the same track at all.

"Xiao Jin, we usually absorb crystal cores by returning to the base, grinding them into powder with a grinder, and then swallowing them."

"Also, the hardness of the crystal core is comparable to that of diamond, so it takes a lot of time to polish a piece of crystal core."

"There are a lot of psychics, so even if dozens of grinders are running at the same time, they won't be enough. And the absorption you mentioned seems different from what we said. Do you have a more convenient method?"

Xu Jinyi's eyes widened as he looked at the two of them as if they were idiots. Finally, he couldn't hold it in any longer: "Hahaha..."

"You guys are killing me. Your base has so many people, including quite a few with special abilities. Haven't you discovered the true purpose of this crystal core?"

"You guys are so stupid."

"Hahaha……"

Xu Jinyi finally understood why Ye Lingshuang looked at her with such horror when she asked her to absorb the crystal core now.

I thought she was eaten alive!

It's so funny!

The brother and sister are embarrassed!

"Then how did you absorb it, Xiaojin? Could you tell us?"

"Hahaha……"

"Wait a minute, let me laugh. You guys are really hilarious. You go to so much trouble to grind the crystal core into powder, eat it, and then poop it out. How much energy can one crystal core absorb?"

"At this rate, when will your abilities be improved? How will you even deal with advanced zombies?"

Xu Jinyi found it funny when she thought about how stupid they were, spending so much effort to grind the crystal core into powder, and finally pulling it out as waste.

The brother and sister were embarrassed again.

However, this also led them to hear another shocking piece of news: "Xiao Jin, are you saying that the zombies have evolved?"

"Don't you feel that the zombies have become more flexible in the past month or so? They're faster and more agile!"

Ye Lingtian's expression turned serious. "No wonder these zombies are becoming increasingly difficult to deal with. Is this world really going to end?"

"With so many zombies, can we really develop a cure for the zombie virus?"

Ye Lingtian suddenly felt a little unconfident.

"Yes, we will definitely defeat the virus and restore the world to its beautiful state."

She also wants to give birth to a baby for her younger brother. Their child cannot grow up in such an environment.

Xu Jinyi reached out and took out two crystal cores from Ye Lingshuang's bag and began to absorb the energy of the crystal cores.

In less than a minute, the two first-level crystal cores gradually shrank under Ye Lingshuang's gaze and finally turned into powder.

One minute!

The crystal core, as hard as diamond, turned into powder. Ye Lingshuang was stunned by the scene.

I also understand why Xu Jinyi laughed like that just now.

Thinking of the dozens of cutting machines running in the base, Ye Lingshuang suddenly realized that they seemed really stupid.

"You try it. Your ability is only at level one now, so it absorbs slowly. The higher the level, the faster it will absorb."

Ye Lingshuang also grabbed two crystal cores: "What should I do?"

Xu Jinyi glanced at the two crystal cores in her hand, silently took one and put it back: "For the first time, one is enough for you to absorb for an hour, no need to rush."

"One hour?!" Ye Lingshuang lost her composure.

"What about you just now?"

Xu Jinyi blinked innocently: "I'm awesome!"

Ye Lingshuang glanced her up and down. She was so delicate, had she ever killed a zombie?

"How do we do that?"

"Concentrate your mental strength and use your supernatural powers. You will be able to feel the energy in the crystal core and then use your energy to absorb it."

Ye Lingshuang followed her method and tried for a long time before finding the trick.

"I saw it. I felt the pure energy in the crystal core. It's not much, but it's several times more than what we could get by eating it. Xiao Jin, you're amazing."

"Can I pass this method back to the base so that everyone can improve together?"

Xu Jinyi nodded: "Okay, this is not a secret. It's just that no one has discovered this method yet."

After getting approval, Ye Lingshuang took out the satellite phone and called back to convey the exciting news.

"My dad said you're welcome to visit our base someday. Thank you so much, Xiaojin. If only we had met you earlier, I wouldn't have to live such a miserable life this month."

Xu Jinyi was not polite: "Then I want to live in a villa, a detached one."

Ye Lingshuang was stunned. She didn't refuse immediately, but she looked a little embarrassed. "Xiao Jin, with the method you told us, living in a villa will definitely not be a problem in my opinion."

"But I don't have the final say on the base, and the rules have already been released. Accommodation will be allocated based on contributions to the base."

"We'll still review your progress every month. If your contribution isn't enough, you'll be moved. So, you can live in a villa, but it's not permanent. It depends on your monthly contribution to the base."

"For example, the method you described might allow you to live in the villa for one to three months. During this period, you have to make contributions to the base in order to extend your stay."
