Rank One Zombie

Qin Yi waved. "Just call me Qin Yi."

After which, Qin Yi turned around and walked towards the village.

As Qin Yi had expected, there were much fewer zombies around the village and there were mostly old people and children.

Qin Yi held the big knife in her hand and chopped those zombies directly. The second those zombies smelled the scent of fresh and delicious blood coming from Qin Yi, all of them began pouncing in her direction.

Qin Yi brandished the big knife and got rid of all the zombies in a short while.

At this moment, Xiao Lan suddenly spoke in the Origin Space. "Yiyi, there is a Rank One zombie here."

Qin Yi retracted her knife and furrowed her brows as she asked, "Are you sure?"

Rank One zombies appeared half a year after the apocalypse began but it had only been a couple of days so far. How could there be a Rank One zombie?

Seeing that Qin Yi didn't really believe him, Xiao Lan was somewhat irritated. "Dumb woman, you actually dare to question the words of the great Ice Phoenix King? My mental strength is much stronger than all you humans. You can go take a look for yourself if you don't believe me. It's not far from here anyway. Hmph."

Qin Yi appeased him carefully. "En, I believe you."

It was an ancient mythological animal after all, so Qin Yi believed that Xiao Lan had its own ability. 

Her ice ability would soon breakthrough to Grade Two and this Rank One zombie would be good practice for her. Her ability might breakthrough. 

The speed and strength of a Rank One zombie were much stronger than a beginner zombie. As humans improved, zombies were constantly improving as well.

The zombies in the future would have abilities and even their own thoughts.

Qin Yi took a few steps forward and finally stopped in front of a house after following Xiao Lan's directions.

This house was the best one in this village. Qin Yi's mouth twitched and she quickly took a step back.

At first sight, this Rank One zombie was a little child around the age of six or seven. Its body was green, and it was baring its long sharp teeth, glaring ferociously at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi knitted her brows, lifted her hand, and formed an ice element. Ice thorns began appearing from the ground and they pierced into the little zombie's feet, restricting its movement.

But just restricting its movement slowed down the little zombie's speed.

Qin Yi didn't dare to get distracted. She conjured another ice needle and pierced it into the little zombie's body.

The ice needle may seem small but as long as it was in the zombie's body, it would begin to destroy the zombie's body from the inside.

The little zombie's movements were completely slowed down, and Qin Yi found the right opportunity to conjure an ice arrow, then shot it swiftly towards the little zombie's head.

This move killed the little zombie.

"Dumb woman, there is crystal core in this zombie's head," Xiao Lan reminded Qin Yi.

Seeing that this dumb woman believed it, it magnanimously decided to forgive this dumb woman.

Qin Yi was happy when she heard that. She tolerated the stench and calmly pulled out a small clear crystal core from the little zombie's head.

The beginner zombies didn't have crystal cores and Rank One zombies also rarely had them. Usually, those with crystal cores were Rank Two zombies and above.

Crystal cores were usually transparent. Only ability zombies' crystal cores were colorful.

During the apocalypse, crystal cores were extremely important. Not only did they help ability users to be promoted quickly, but they also triggered the abilities of those ordinary people, allowing them to become ability users.

Also, apartments and other things in the future would require crystal cores as well. During the apocalypse, food was simply too precious so obviously they couldn't just use food to exchange for everything.

Qin Yi conjured some water and washed the crystal core.

This crystal core was only the size of a little finger. It was crystal clear and very beautiful.

Qin Yi placed the crystal core into the Origin Space then walked around in the village again.
