Jasmine awakened her ability as she wished, and thanks to the supplentation through Elijah, she didn't feel hungry during her awakening.
Her ability was quite unique; she could freely manipulate the temperature of objects she touched and temporarily withstand corresponding temperatures herself.
Currently, her upper limit for manipulation and tolerance was 200 degrees Celsius, with a lower limit of minus 20 degrees Celsius.
The higher or lower the temperature, the greater the energy consumption for her.
Elijah experienced this ability firsthand through Jasmine.
The sensation of alternating between hot and cold was indescribable! However, its utility was limited; it wasn't very effective against zombies.
Heating water to boiling at 200 degrees Celsius and wielding a tal weapon to slice zombies made it slightly sharper.
On the cooling side, Jasmine's ability was sowhat similar to Hannah's, but she could only create ice and lacked Hannah's finesse in controlling it.
Seeing everyone on the island awakened, Elijah felt he had completed another preparation.
With the contract zombies awakening one after another, all that remained was for Crystal Grass to mature, bringing forth another Tier 3 abilities holder among the island won.
anwhile, he needed to figure out how to contract both Quentin and Ivy as well.
Only then could he leave with complete peace of mind.
After a playful night with Jasmine, on Day 22 of the apocalypse, Elijah once again followed the convoy to the mall.
This ti, he wasn't alone; he brought a zombie with stealth abilities along.
He wasn't here to transport supplies from the mall this ti but to head alone to the nearby computer city, searching for items Vincent needed.
Elijah had Vincent prepare a list beforehand.
Utilizing the stealth ability of the zombie, he managed to evade nurous zombies along the way and arrived smoothly at the computer city.
During this journey, he wasn't just hiding; he was also scouting for suitable routes. Vincent required quite a lot, and Elijah couldn't carry much on his own. Hence, he would need a vehicle to transport everything back.
He navigated, finding optimal paths, bypassing blockages when possible, and even creating passages when necessary. This stop-and-go journey covered nearly a kiloter and took up most of the day.
Inside the computer city, Elijah encountered many zombies. He closed the doors securely and thodically cleared them out. He didn't want to risk being ambushed while transporting supplies.
After spending nearly a day, Elijah had cleared most of the zombies from the computer city. During the process, he even encountered a mutated zombie that posed no threat to him and was swiftly dispatched.
Upon retrieving the corpse core, Elijah was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a Tier 2 core.
However, the zombie itself was weak, not even as formidable as the Tier 2 defense zombie he had encountered previously.
Elijah could only speculate that this zombie had awakened so kind of perception-based ability.
As dusk approached, Elijah quickly packed so easily recognizable equipnt from the procurent list into a whole box and then drove at full speed, crashing his way back towards the mall.
Charlotte, Quentin, and others who had been waiting there imdiately helped clear out a large wave of zombies that followed.
After getting off the car, Elijah joined them in clearing out the remaining zombies.
Quentin, visibly excited, approached Elijah and said, "Boss, my buddy just found a spirit plants today!"
"Oh?" Elijah was surprised.
"Where is it? Take to see!" he exclaid.
"This is the ssage my buddy brought back when he returned with the cars. Zachary and them were clearing zombies around a neighborhood entrance and found it. They've already brought it to the service area!" Quentin explained.
"I see. Let's hurry back then!" Elijah quickly checked that everyone had loaded their vehicles and didn't linger any longer, leading the way back to his own car.
Except for those who stayed behind, everyone boarded their respective trucks. They returned along the cleared road in a grand procession, making their way back to the Coastal Buffer Zone.
Quentin had his brother drive the car away, while he followed Elijah and the others to the service area by the shore.
Upon entering the service area, Quentin imdiately spotted his buddy cradling the blood-red plant like a treasure.
"Quentin!" His buddy saw him and hurried over excitedly.
At that mont, Elijah also stepped out of the car.
"Boss!" His buddy called out loudly to Elijah.
"Hello," Elijah responded before turning his attention to the spirit plants his buddy held, marveling at it.
"This spirit plant is about the sa size as zombie grass, but unlike zombie grass which has pale veins in its green leaves, its entire leaf is blood-red. The patterns and veins on the leaves resemble capillaries and arteries, giving it a very eerie look.
Unfortunately, it looks wilted now due to transplanting and lacks vitality.
Elijah examined it carefully for a while and found it similar to the spirit plants he had in mind. He then asked, 'How did you discover this spirit plant?'
'Isaac took us to clear out nearby zombies,' he explained, 'and I happened to notice near the entrance of a neighborhood that a few zombies clearly heard us killing zombies but didn't co out. I rembered what the boss said about sothing possibly attracting zombies, so I sneaked over and found this spirit plant.
I reported it to Zachary, who brought a few of us to create a big commotion, attracting the zombies. We took them out one by one, until we encountered a tough one—a mutated zombie! But with Zachary's abilities, we managed to kill it in the end and got this spirit plant.'
'Lucky break!' Elijah exclaid.
With this, he confird that this spirit plant was indeed the blood spirit grass he had in mind—a relatively rare type of spirit plant that usually grows in places with strong blood breath.
This blood spirit grass grew near the neighborhood entrance, where presumably many people were killed by zombies, gradually accumulating strong blood breath, which eventually led to the accidental cultivation of this blood spirit grass.
Elijah had never seen this blood spirit grass before in his past life, but he had heard of such spirit plants.
Rumor has it that this spirit plant has a powerful amplifying effect for those with physical abilities, potentially enhancing the physical abilities of awakeners or advanced practitioners to their peak without the need for extensive training or body forging techniques.
There are even rumors that with strong enough physical constitution, one can advance to the third level just by consuming mature blood spirit grass!
Hmm... no, wait, could it be true in his past life?
Elijah glanced at Quentin.
Wasn't Quentin in his past life the one who advanced to the third level with the help of this blood spirit grass?
But the timing doesn't seem to add up.
This blood spirit grass is already nearing maturity; by the ti it matures, it would have likely been eaten by the surrounding zombies.
'What's wrong, boss?' Quentin asked, puzzled by Elijah's glance.
'It's like this—this blood spirit grass is quite valuable. It can be exchanged for a bottle of second-level advancent elixir...'
Upon hearing this, Quentin's face imdiately lit up with joy!"
