Psychic power originates from the mind.
A strong mind equals powerful psychic power.
Moreover, psychic power cannot be replenished through energy.
Energy can only accelerate the recovery speed.
Unlike other evolution abilities, picking up a crystal core and absorbing its power can replenish the consumed energy.
Xiao Feng flipped through the recipe book, looking for a method to quickly recover his mental strength.
And indeed, he found one.
Spicy rabbit head.
Eating one can restore thirty percent of mental strength.
Three would almost fully restore it.
With this, Xiao Feng didn’t have to worry about the depletion of psychic power.
However, spicy rabbit head needed to be unlocked before he could make it, so he couldn’t produce it for now.
In addition, rabbits reproduce quickly.
With spicy rabbit heads, there was no need to worry about a shortage of ingredients.
As he was thinking about this, Xiao Feng slowly fell asleep.
The next day, Xiao Feng was awakened by the sounds of zombie roars.
Quickly putting on his clothes and heading downstairs, Xiao Feng saw zombies wandering the street in front of the restaurant once again.
And at this moment, he saw An Ran and Annie walking in from outside.
"Where did you two go?"
Xiao Feng hurriedly pulled them inside.
Zhang Guotao had not been found yet, and now they were in great danger.
But at this moment, Annie slowly extended her right hand and opened her palm.
In her hand was a dim blue crystal core with a touch of gold.
"What is this..."
Holding it in his hand, Xiao Feng asked the system to analyze the crystal core.
Looking at the result, Xiao Feng was stunned.
Third-tier blue crystal core: Elemental type
Function: Metal control
"Is this... Zhang Guotao’s crystal core?"
Annie nodded proudly.
The scars on her forehead were still there, but they didn’t pose much of a threat anymore.
"Did you go out and kill him last night?"
Xiao Feng asked in disbelief.
"How could you leave the restaurant without my permission? What if something happened outside?!"
Xiao Feng slammed the crystal core on the table.
At this moment, Xiao Feng’s inner feeling was not happiness but anger.
Seeing Xiao Feng’s angry expression, Annie lowered her head slowly.
But she extended another hand.
In that hand was the crystal core of the power king who was with Zhang Guotao.
They thought they would receive praise from Xiao Feng, but instead, they got a scolding.
Seeing Anne silent with her head down, Xiao Feng felt a bit sorry for her.
Walking to Anne’s side, Xiao Feng grabbed her arms and said, "Your behavior is too dangerous. What if something happens? What am I supposed to do?"
Then, Xiao Feng looked at An Ran.
Although An Ran was Annie’s mother, she was a complete zombie. Now, no matter what they did, Annie had to take her with her.
"Don’t do this again, okay?"
Xiao Feng advised Annie.
Upon hearing this, Annie nodded slowly.
Picking up the crystal core, Xiao Feng handed it to An Ran.
Then, he handed the other one to Annie.
Now that Xiao Feng had psychic power, he didn’t need any other evolution abilities.
The ability to control metal was relatively rare, and it was a good choice to enhance Annie and An Ran’s levels.
But at this moment, Xiao Feng noticed that Anne had evolved to the level of a fourth-tier mutated zombie at some point.
And even An Ran had promoted to a third-tier zombie.
Looking closer, the information of the mother and daughter immediately appeared in his mind.
Little Bear Zombie: Annie
Level: Fourth tier
Skills: Infection, Little Bear Attack, Little Bear Berserk, Flame Savage Bear
[Little Bear Attack: Can turn the little bear in hand into a flesh zombie to attack enemies. The size of the flesh zombie changes with the owner’s level]
[Little Bear Berserk: The flesh zombie enters a berserk state when its life is below twenty percent]
[Flame Savage Bear: The flesh zombie activates the fire element, covering its body in flames and burning enemies]
Annie, now at the fourth tier, showcased her abilities through the little bear in her hand. Her promotion made the little bear possess even more terrifying attack capabilities.
Teacher Zombie: An Ran
Level: Third tier
Skills: Infection, Teacher’s Command, Teacher’s Command Upgrade
[Teacher’s Command: Can control all elementary school student zombies]
[Teacher’s Command Upgrade: Can control all middle school student zombies]
"Oh my god!"
Amazed by Annie’s advancement, Xiao Feng was even more astonished by Annie’s abilities.
With the Teacher’s Command Upgrade, An Ran could now control middle school zombies. If this trend continues, An Ran might control high school students, college students, and even graduate students. An Ran would truly be the Zombie King.
Moreover, graduate students and doctoral students are rare. If they were infected, there was a high chance they would develop into psychic zombies. Imagine a doctoral zombie who can research and create bombs – how terrifying would that be? And most importantly, they all obey An Ran’s commands.
What happened last night?
An Ran and Annie had both advanced overnight.
At this moment, the zombie roars outside caught Xiao Feng’s attention. Looking out, he saw a giant zombie, over ten meters in size, extending its huge palm to grab a lizard-like zombie and devour it in one bite.
"Zombies are starting to devour other zombies!"
Xiao Feng exclaimed in shock.
Immediately, he left the restaurant.
Now that Zhang Guotao had been killed, Xiao Feng no longer needed to worry about their assassination.
Roar!
Roars echoed as the giant zombie let out a wild howl.
This was a third-tier giant zombie.
After devouring a second-tier lizard zombie in one bite, its strength underwent a qualitative improvement.
Both its strength and thinking had greatly increased.
Next, the giant zombie looked around confusedly, then purposefully walked towards the neighboring large hotel.
When it reached the hotel’s entrance, the giant zombie stopped.
Immediately, it extended its hands and lifted the two bronze lions at the hotel entrance, each over three meters tall.
"He actually... is using these two bronze lions as weapons!"
Xiao Feng exclaimed incredulously.
Holding the two bronze lions in its hands, it looked as if they were two enormous exercise balls.
At this moment, a tongue over ten meters long came from afar and swiftly wrapped around the giant zombie.
In an instant, the giant zombie was entangled and brought crashing to the ground.
Xiao Feng’s gaze was dull. Looking over, he saw a zombie with eight legs, resembling a spider, climbing the wall of a distant building. It was over three meters long and had a tongue entangling ability similar to the ghost-tongue zombie.
It seemed to be another mutated species.
However, the next moment, the giant zombie caught the tongue and forcefully pulled the spider ghost-tongue zombie down.
Assassins were not the match for tanks after all.
Then, the giant zombie picked up the bronze lions and fiercely slammed them onto the spider ghost-tongue zombie.
In an instant, the spider ghost-tongue zombie was smashed into a pulp.
Staring in shock at the scene before him, Xiao Feng muttered, "Have the zombies in Yulin City gone mad?"
