Chapter 181 Your idea is very immature
Qiu Zhiyi condensed a huge water ball in mid-air, and Jiang Yuan controlled the wind to stir the water ball and make it spin at high speed.
In a short while, a tornado-like water column several meters high appeared in the courtyard.
The airflow is thinner at the bottom and close to the ground, but becomes thicker and wider as it spreads upwards, affecting a large area of airflow.
While it can't compare to a large tornado over the sea, a rapidly rotating water column several meters high appearing in a city is not to be underestimated.
Jiang Yuan controlled the direction of the small tornado, and wherever the bottom of the tornado passed, piles of zombie corpses were swept into the vortex of the tornado.
Standing on the side, you can even see the zombie corpses being pulverized by the swirling wind, their flesh and bones polluting the clear water column inside the tornado.
The entire tornado quickly turned blackish-gray, adding a touch of cold ruthlessness.
Lu Yu was quite surprised to see the thick layer of zombie corpses on the ground being swept into the vortex of the tornado and pulverized as it moved.
"It actually works! How did you come up with such a great idea?"
Qiu Zhiyi was also surprised by this operation, "Superpowers can be used like this? It looks pretty impressive."
Anjiewen laughed, "If we can extract the crystal core this way, it will indeed save us a lot of time."
From what we can see now, tornadoes are indeed quite effective at shredding corpses; the only question is whether they can shred skulls.
If they can't crack the skulls, they'll still have to honestly knock their heads off one by one.
Controlling the wind to run at high speed for extended periods is extremely taxing on one's supernatural abilities.
When Jiang Yuan controlled the tornado to roughly sweep away the zombie corpses in the yard, he felt that nearly 60% of his superpowers had been consumed.
This shows that no matter how powerful a superhuman is, when faced with an overwhelming number of zombies, they may exhaust their powers and die inside.
Using superpowers intensively and continuously is extremely taxing.
Jiang Yuan slowed down the tornado and controlled the wind force to split the water column trapped inside the tornado in two.
He led them to two different locations, and as he released the wind, two clumps of water, already stained black with the blood and flesh of zombies, poured onto the ground.
Water quickly seeped into the cracked cement floor, leaving only two piles of zombie tissue.
It was a pile of shredded zombie flesh and clothing.
The other pile consisted of white bones mixed with glittering crystal cores and some gold, silver, and gemstone jewelry.
Qiu Zhiyi leaned over to take a look and exclaimed in surprise, "Jiang Yuan, your trick really works! The bones are all broken into small pieces, and you can't even find a complete skull. All the crystal cores have fallen out. Finding crystal cores in the bone fragments is much easier than knocking the zombies' heads one by one."
An Jiewen and Lu Yu also went over and squatted down to look. There was no meat on the white bones. When they poked at them with a mace, it made a clanging sound.
The bottom layer of crystal cores and jewelry shimmered brightly in the sunlight.
Lu Yu's eyes darted around. "I have a rough idea. Since tornadoes can directly lift up zombies, we don't need to bother killing them first. Jiang Yuan can just use the tornadoes to harvest the living zombies."
It's fast and efficient; in just a short while, it will be transformed into a crystal core and placed before us.
The three of them squatted in front of the pile of bones, busy picking and choosing the crystal cores inside.
Jiang Yuan squatted to the side, panting heavily. "I think your idea is very immature. This method consumes too much of your superpowers and can't be maintained for a long time."
Lu Yu laughed and said, "That's alright. After we harvest this batch of crystal cores, we can exchange them for ability enhancement fluid. Don't drink the ability enhancement fluid you were allocated. Save it for when your ability is almost depleted. That way, you can last longer, right?"
Jiang Yuan: !!!
"You're not going to treat me like a human being."
After Tao Yarong and her group finished clearing the zombies from inside the building, they came to the rooftop and saw twenty or thirty survivors sitting in rows on the edge of the rooftop, looking down with great interest.
They didn't even notice the four of them coming up.
Chu Jie couldn't help but call out, "What's downstairs that you're watching so intently?"
When Cao Yang turned around, he saw several superhumans standing behind them, staring at them strangely.
Cao Yang quickly explained, "The superpowered person downstairs just created a tornado; it was quite a sight."
Tao Yarong: ...
Her first thought was that those guys down there must be up to something new.
Hearing the commotion, the others quickly stood up straight from the railing by the rooftop, looking at Tao Yarong and the others with a mixture of admiration and envy.
They are all superhumans, and such powerful superhumans at that. How can one not be envious?
If they had that kind of ability, they wouldn't be living such a passive life.
Cao Yang said admiringly, "We saw you killing zombies down there, you were so amazing."
Tao Yarong nodded to the survivors as a greeting.
She said to Chu Jie and Hu Wenhao, "Take them back to the base."
Chu Jie wanted to ask them if they weren't going back, but then he thought that they were there to collect supplies and probably wouldn't leave so soon, so he didn't ask any further questions.
Hu Wenhao called to the survivors, "Let's go downstairs and get ready. We're heading back to the base."
The survivors had waited in fear for so long, and now they could finally go to the safe base. Everyone cooperated actively and couldn't wait.
I wish I could fly to the base right now and never have to live like this again, where I could be bitten by zombies at any moment.
When Cao Yang and his group learned that the base was sending people to pick them up, they were already prepared. Armored vehicles and other equipment were all packed up so the survivors could get in and leave.
No one expected that so many people would be killed by a mentally ill person before he passed away.
When they went downstairs, they saw four people squatting next to a pile of bone fragments, picking up crystal cores.
The piles of zombie corpses that used to fill the courtyard have mostly disappeared, with only a few remaining in the corners or next to the vehicles.
Cao Yang was leading the survivors to scavenge the zombie corpses off the vehicle.
Lei Zhe walked to the pile of bones, quite surprised, "What brilliant idea did you come up with to separate the crystal cores from so many zombie heads in such a short time?"
Qiu Zhiyi was rummaging through the crystal cores when he said, "Jiang Yuan used his wind-based superpower to create a tornado, which shredded the zombie corpses, and then filtered them out with water."
Lei Zhe was delighted, "This is great, this is great! Finally, I won't have to knock on their heads one by one anymore."
Jiang Yuan said helplessly, "It can't be used for a long time; the superpower is consumed too quickly."
Lei Zhe said boldly, "That's okay. When you switch to the ability enhancement fluid later, don't drink it. Save it for when your ability runs out, and you'll last longer."
Jiang Yuan: ...
This isn't just one case of not treating him like a human being; it's one or two cases of people treating him like a human being.
When An Jiewen, Qiu Zhiyi, and Lu Yu heard the same words again, they all suppressed their laughter and cast sympathetic glances at Jiang Yuan.
