If that's the case, then this is going to be very interesting.

If consciousness dies and then comes back to life, is the revived self still the same self as before?

The zombie rushed towards Lin Xi at the speed of a hundred-meter sprint, and she instinctively reached out to block it.

Her arm jerked violently, as if a huge steel bar had slammed into it.

Lin Xi winced in pain!

Since my five senses were restored, even the pain has become more intense.

In a direct confrontation, he was no match for her.

After realizing this, she began to consciously avoid attacks.

Seek an opportunity to activate your superpowers.

Isn't it conscious?

As long as she is conscious, her superpower—mind control—can be put to use.

However, he was just too fast.

Lin Xi simply didn't have the spare time to activate her superpower!

—Squeak.

Both of them were drawn to the attention.

It's Chen Jin!

He actually opened the car door and got out at that moment.

Are you crazy?

In just 0.01 seconds, the two fighters were locked in a fierce battle again.

Clearly, this zombie didn't take Chen Jin seriously at all!

When Jiaojiao saw Teacher Chen's action, she looked anxious and wanted to stop him.

But she was only 12 years old, and in terms of strength, she was no match for an adult.

She could only stay in the car and silently shake her head.

Chen Jin made a very difficult decision.

He knew how powerful Lin Xi was, and naturally he also knew that an opponent who even Lin Xi struggled to deal with could easily crush him like an ant.

However, no matter what, Lin Xi is a girl, and a girl who is not yet an adult.

As an adult man, I shouldn't hide behind her like a coward when faced with such a dangerous situation.

Moreover, he is a people's teacher with lofty beliefs who swore an oath to the Party to dedicate himself selflessly.

So, after much internal struggle, he still chose to open the door and face it with Celine without hesitation.

Even in this hopeless situation, he should fight alongside Celine until the very last moment!

Moreover, he wasn't entirely useless. He absorbed all the ordinary zombie crystal cores Celine collected on the road. Although he's not very powerful now, his superpower has at least advanced to level two, which is somewhat useful in terms of defense.

Chen Jin quickly joined the battle. The zombies were displeased to see him charging forward fearlessly and pulled out a hand to grab him.

Chen Jin's heart skipped a beat, and he looked up with a look of fear on his face.

The zombie stared at him menacingly, as if he were an inanimate object.

Immediately afterwards, he felt his body lose control and was thrown into the air!

Chen Jin closed his eyes and felt his body hit the ground, but the pain he had imagined did not come.

He suddenly opened his eyes and quickly checked his condition.

There wasn't a single scratch on him!

Is this how his superpowers were activated?

Thinking of this, he looked at Celine, who was being beaten and forced to retreat step by step.

With his resolve strengthened, Chen Jin charged forward again to try and stop the mid-level zombie.

Someone else, oblivious to their own mortality, stepped in to block the way, further enraging the zombie.

Seeing that it was the same person who had blocked his way, and that he had just thrown so far away but was still unharmed, his anger intensified!

"Foolish human, you're courting death!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi understood.

Sure enough, the consciousness that came back to life from the zombie's brain was just a puppet of slaughter.

He has clearly distinguished himself from humanity as two different species.

He no longer acknowledges himself as human, or perhaps he doesn't even know he was ever human.

Chen Jin clung tightly to the zombie, trying his best to restrict its movements.

At this moment, he felt extremely fortunate. Fortunately, he had awakened his superpower, and fortunately, this superpower made him as hard as steel, which gave him the opportunity to restrict the zombies' movements.

Lin Xi didn't hesitate and quickly activated his superpower—mind control.

The resentment, hatred, and murderous intent in the zombie's eyes gradually faded, but its face would occasionally contort into a ferocious expression, as if it were trying its best to break free from this control.

Fortunately, Chen Jin held on tightly, which successfully rendered the zombie temporarily immobile.

Level 3 mind control can strip a person of their consciousness within fifteen minutes. It is normally useless against zombies, but coincidentally, the mid-level zombie actually developed consciousness.

This also gave Lin Xi an opportunity.

But she also knew that the more powerful the person, the shorter the control time she would have over her superpower.

So she had no choice but to take the risk and activate her powers when she was closest to the zombie.

This way, I can ensure that I have enough time to make him die the moment he loses consciousness.

Lin Xi pulled out a dagger.

The movements even captured some of Tang He's essence—clean, crisp, and a little cool.

Jiaojiao in the car was stunned.

Lin Xi quickly flipped the zombie over, revealing its already ferocious-looking back of the head, and slashed it down.

Chen Jin collapsed to the ground.

The moment he felt the zombie on his body lose its strength, he immediately let go.

Sure enough, the zombie fell straight down. He turned his head in disbelief. What had just happened?

How could such a formidable zombie have fallen in the blink of an eye?

Even though Jiaojiao had a clear view of everything, she was actually quite confused.

She saw the zombies instantly become expressionless, as if under some kind of spell, losing their will to attack.

Then he collapsed.

Lin Xi stopped when she saw a hard object with her dagger and pulled it out with her other hand.

A deep blue crystal core mixed with a sticky, disgusting liquid has finally been produced.

After Lin Xi simply rinsed it with water, the group finally saw its full appearance.

The deep blue crystals, serene like the night sky at seven o'clock, are profound and beautiful.

This luster is comparable to that of the world's most perfect sapphire.

For a moment, everyone was deeply shocked by this beauty.

There was silence for a moment.

[Task completed, reward 200 points.]

The system notification sound brought Lin Xi back to her senses.

She expressionlessly pocketed the crystal core; she wouldn't give away this mid-level crystal core again!

I've had enough of being a victim of injustice.

This kind of thing can only happen once, not twice.

Of course, Chen Jin didn't want it either, since he had gotten the ordinary zombie crystal cores for free before, and Lin Xi hadn't asked him to do anything when dealing with those small fry.

Are you still eating?

Chen Jin and Jiao Jiao exchanged a glance and shook their heads.

Lin Xi sighed, "These two naive people can't even eat? They haven't had enough of a beating from society yet."

Since that's the case, she continued on her way.

After so many days of practice, Lin Xi's driving skills have become more and more stable, and at least Chen Jin has never doubted that she is a novice.

Looking at the road ahead, she unconsciously recalled what the zombie had just said.

He actually called himself a low-level zombie?

--system?
