After finishing breakfast in the space, Li Yao put on her protective suit and went to the highest point of the Grand Canyon. Da Zhuang was diligently cleaning the house. When he saw Li Yao, he quickly ran over and acted cute and charming. It was almost unbearable to watch the strong man act cute. Li Yao praised Da Zhuang a lot before he let her go.
Li Yao asked the system about today's zombie situation. After scanning, the system replied, "Host, currently there are 22 million level 1 zombies, 53 million level 2 zombies, 18 million level 3 zombies, 9 million level 4 zombies, 6 million level 5 zombies, 520,000 level 7 zombies, 5,800 level 8 zombies, and 200 level 9 zombies. 30 of them are close to breaking through to level 10. Don't worry, host, the highest zombie level is only 12. Spatial cutting can easily handle it."
Since the system was so confident that there were no problems, Li Yao was naturally not worried. She could harvest the crystals when she reached level 12, as higher-level crystal cores had purer energy and were more valuable.
Now she wants to test her superpowers.
Li Yao teleported to a relatively open space, intending to conjure an ice ball and smash it onto the ground in front of her. She stretched out her hand and tried to mobilize her ice-type abilities. Slowly, she saw a ball of ice appear in her palm. This ice ball kept compressing and growing until it condensed into an ice ball the size of a ping-pong ball. It flew hard from her palm to the ground, leaving a small crater and shattered ice.
She stretched out her other hand and activated her fire-type ability. Slowly, a ball of flame gathered in her palm. Thinking of a flamethrower, she reached out and sent the flame flying forward, but the flame could only condense into a fist-sized ball of fire, which flew for more than ten meters before falling to the ground.
It seems this ability really requires a lot of practice. Thinking this, Li Yao switched between ice and fire abilities, alternating between ice balls and fire balls. She wondered if this was another way of playing the legendary dual-elemental ice and fire.
After condensing her power five or six times, she felt a sense of emptiness, which was a sign that her power was exhausted. Li Yao quickly teleported back to the Invisible House, found two ice-type crystal cores and two fire-type crystal cores and began to absorb them. This absorption made her power increase slightly, but it was not yet at the point of advancement. So, for an entire afternoon, whenever Li Yao had free time, she would condense ice balls and fireballs and toss them back and forth for fun.
She gradually became dissatisfied with mere entertainment and wanted to use zombies to hone her lethality. So she had the system pick and choose a level one zombie and teleport her to a place 1 kilometer away from the outpost. Li Yao then teleported there and fought the zombie.
Although there had been continuous harvesting, this was indeed the first time Li Yao had seen a zombie up close. The level one zombie walked almost like a normal person. This was a female zombie, still wearing high heels, her neck was bitten to pieces, her business suit was covered in blood, and she exuded a very peculiar stench. She had never smelled the stench of a corpse before, but she guessed that this might be what it smelled like. The zombie's eyes were covered by a white film, and her nostrils were forward, sniffing the air, so it obviously did not yet have vision.
Li Yao stood about 20 meters away from the zombie and first tried to use her mental abilities to create silver needles to pierce her brain. Obviously, the zombie's brain felt very little pain. She only patted her head to try to stop the pain, and then there was no other reaction.
Next, Li Yao tried to use her mental power to stir the zombie's brain, but unfortunately, her ability was only level 2, so it was a bit of a struggle. She stumbled and barely managed to shatter the zombie's brain before she suddenly collapsed and stopped moving. However, Li Yao's ability was overdrawn. She sat on the ground, panting heavily, holding a level 2 mental crystal core and absorbing its energy. After catching her breath, she had the system teleport the zombie back to the bottom of the canyon. She then teleported back to the invisible house at the outpost. Sitting in the carpeted house, she relaxed and closed her eyes to begin absorbing the crystal core.
After a while, she felt she was ready again, so she had the system send her another level 1 zombie. This time, the zombie was also female, wearing a miniskirt and heavy makeup. Her neck was bitten to pieces, she was wearing a shoe on one foot, but had lost the shoe on the other foot. She was limping and sniffing her surroundings.
This time, Li Yao stood about 18 meters away from her. She first used her ice-based ability to freeze the female zombie's legs and feet. Her lower limbs did indeed slowly begin to freeze, slowing her movements. After taking only two or three steps, her feet were completely covered in ice, and she couldn't lift her feet. At this point, Li Yao couldn't continue attacking her head with her ice-based ability, so she used her fire-based ability to burn her head. The zombie began to howl. Li Yao wanted to finish the battle quickly, so she increased her fire-based ability. After a few breaths, the zombie gradually stopped howling.
With a soft thud, a tiny, rice-grain-sized object, glowing with a soft white light, slid from the zombie's body onto the icy ground beneath its feet.
Once the fire was extinguished, Li Yao saw a headless zombie. After burning the zombie, Li Yao had almost exhausted her superpowers. She put away the level 1 crystal core, teleported the zombie back to the canyon to feed the other zombies, and then teleported back to the invisible house to continue absorbing crystal cores.
