"You went out?" Shen Wangshu immediately woke up.

The zombie couldn't understand what she was saying, and seeing that she didn't seem to even look at the crystal core, it immediately roared in dissatisfaction.

He took her hand and pressed it onto the crystal core.

"..." Shen Wangshu looked at Ah Xuan, who had tucked his sharp nails into his hand to avoid scratching himself, then looked at the crystal core. After a moment of silence, he pinched Ah Xuan's ear first. Seeing that the zombie was satisfied and stopped yelling at him, he carefully picked up the crystal core.

This level of crystal core is very low-grade and not yet very clear. Shen Wangshu looked at it in mid-air for a while, closed his eyes and carefully sensed it, and he could indeed faintly feel a very refined energy. However, for ordinary people, they should not be able to sense any energy within it.

Shen Wangshu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood.

She opened her eyes and was pleasantly surprised to sense her own body.

She felt a cool and warm sensation flowing through her body; it was very comfortable and gentle.

She carefully sensed it and tentatively activated the energy.

A small water balloon hung in her outstretched hand.

The water sphere was small, but it was crystal clear, exuding the lightness and moisture unique to water, which made Shen Wangshu open his eyes in surprise.

She felt like she had unlocked a cheat code, and she really did wake up one day to become a rare superpowered individual. Although her water-based superpower was weak in terms of offensive power, she could be considered a mobile water source.

In the later stages of the apocalypse, after most water sources were contaminated by zombies, water-based ability users became extremely important. Moreover, the water created by these ability users was clear and clean, requiring no further purification, making it especially sought after. Shen Wangshu also knew that while water-based abilities were lacking in offensive power, if used in unconventional ways, they could become a much stronger fighting force.

The human body is 70% water, and if used properly, strangling a person is a very simple thing.

Or it would be very simple to create a giant water sphere to cover a person's head and drown them.

Of course, this method is completely inadequate when facing zombies.

Zombies aren't afraid of the water inside their bodies wringing them even more torn apart. For a zombie, as long as it's not blown in the head, it will never truly die.

Therefore, water-based abilities are a more suitable ability to harm living people.

However, for Shen Wangshu, the fact that Ning Rou's body, which had never awakened any special abilities before, could actually activate one was already a pleasant surprise. She examined her snow-white hands for a long time, knowing that she now had the ability to protect herself, as well as Ning's father and mother. Only then did she notice that Ah Xuan was staring at her with his eyes open.

He seemed curious about the sudden appearance of the water sphere in front of him, watching it warily for a while before reaching out with his sharp finger to poke it. Seeing his finger sink into the water sphere, he roared.

Shen Wangshu looked at him tenderly.

She looked at the crystal core and hesitated for a moment.

Her body seemed to have an unusual craving for the crystal core, wanting to absorb all the energy within it.

But she couldn't help thinking of Ah Xuan.

She didn't know if anyone had ever used zombies to test the effects of the crystal core, but her heart was always filled with doubt.

How do zombies evolve? Besides eating people, how do later-stage zombies evolve into different levels? How do higher-level zombies advance? Superhumans need crystal cores, so what about zombies? A book she once read mentioned that zombies don't fight amongst themselves during their actions, but once a higher-level zombie is eliminated, its remaining body is fought over by other zombies. This is because the bodies of higher-level zombies contain a trigger for zombie evolution.

So, does the crystal nucleus count as such an opportunity?

If the crystal core can replenish Ah Xuan's energy, then he won't have to eat people anymore.

It was just a crystal core, and Shen Wangshu felt she could afford to consume it. However, before that, what she wanted to do more was to find out the origin of this crystal core.

"Did you pick it up outside?" she asked, holding the crystal core.

Ah Xuan stiffly climbed onto the bed, pulled Shen Wangshu into his arms, and licked her face contentedly, making soft gurgling sounds.

He was filled with an irrepressible craving for flesh and blood, but he had to try hard to suppress this instinct and had to lick it first to satisfy his craving.

Seeing that Shen Wangshu valued the crystal core highly, he couldn't help but put on a smug expression.

He seemed to want to show Shen Wangshu how powerful he was as a zombie. He licked Shen Wangshu's face for a long time with reluctance. Hearing her clear laughter, which seemed to be very indulgent, he felt that his food was really good. He got up, picked her up around the waist, and after she subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck, he swayed and walked towards the gate of the villa.

Shen Wangshu keenly noticed that Ah Xuan, who had just turned into a zombie, had become much more agile after just one night. Although his arms and body were still stiff, he had become more nimble.

He carried her to the front door. Shen Wangshu looked at the still-closed, electrified door and then at Ah Xuan.

"How did you get out?" she asked, pinching Ah Xuan's ear.

The zombie had absolutely no interest in the door, and it couldn't be eaten anyway. He hugged Shen Wangshu tightly, tilted his head, and looked at the wall six or seven meters high to the side.

Shen Wangshu's vision blurred, and he felt his body suddenly rise higher, and in the blink of an eye, his field of vision became wide open.

The towering zombie leaped up and landed precisely on the top of the wall.

Shen Wangshu saw that Ah Xuan was holding her on the wall, looking down at the desolate and miserable scene before her.
