Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space-Chapter 132: Mental Breakdown
Feeling his headache lessen, Feng Yun continued to absorb another crystal. This time, he tried to guide the energy in his body and was surprised to find that he was able to do it. Every place the energy passed through was no longer as sore as before.
Before he could soothe the soreness of his muscles and joints, the crystal turned into dust. After experiencing the refreshing feeling of absorbing the energy, he no longer hesitated.
When the fourth crystal turned into fine dust, he finally felt that the emptiness in his body caused by the lack of energy had been filled. Standing on the wall, he created another space crack.
Woommm! Crash!

Learning from his experience, he aimed his skill far away from the wall. Since he still didn't know how to completely control it, he only created a bean-sized space crack that lasted for a second.
Even at a smaller size, he could only use his skill six times before draining all of his ability energy.
Seeing that he was absorbing crystal cores again, Xiao Qi said, "Brother, how about you kill the zombies using a boulder like me? Even if your attack is ruthless and fast, it uses too many crystals."
"Do these crystals have any other use?" Feng Yun asked curiously while absorbing the crystal.
Xiao Qi shook his head and replied, "So far, we only know that these crystals can help us recover our energy and increase our ability level. But judging from our situation, money won't have any value anymore, and we might have to use barter in the future."
"These crystals are not easy to get, as not every zombie has one. So, we might be able to use them to exchange for supplies in the future."
Hearing his words, Feng Yun found it made sense. So, after absorbing two more crystals, he stopped and chose to kill the zombies using a big boulder.
This time, he didn't feel any space fluctuation but noticed that his focus and concentration slowly decreased as he collected and took out the boulder. It was as if he were staying up late and overusing his brain.
While the Phantom Team was fighting against the zombies, the Eagle Team successfully left the factory district.
As they drove in the opposite direction, the soldiers sitting on the bus rooftop saw colorful lights flashing from the factory's direction, and everyone could feel the ground shake following the sound of explosions in the distance.
At this moment, the survivors squeezing inside the buses and trucks only felt fortunate that they had survived the calamity.
Most of them felt guilty as they thought about those who stayed behind to ensure their escape, while at the same time feeling helpless and suffocated due to their inability to help the soldiers kill the zombies.
Even Aunt Wang, who believed it was the soldiers' duty to protect them, was lost in her thoughts and her fear after brushing so close to death.
Out of everyone, only Situ Bani stood in the corner, looking at the rising sun in a daze. After her mental attack against Jiao Lizhi failed and her energy was absorbed instead, she only had the intelligence of a three-year-old child after waking up.
At the front of the fleet, the modified car hit the wandering zombies blocking the road. During their stay in the Phantom Team's camp, the Wen brothers had helped them reinforce their cars.
Even though their cars were not armored vehicles like those owned by the Phantom Team, with the addition of metal planks and metal barbs, their cars' defenses and attack ability increased, allowing them to crush the zombies without a problem.
Behind them, the buses and trucks filled with survivors and Pei Yijun's team followed closely. In the middle of the fleet, four military trucks carried supplies given by the Phantom Team. At the rear of the fleet were two military cars, where Wei Ying and the newly joined soldiers sat.
Sitting inside one of the military cars, the ex-members of the Phantom Team sat with their heads lowered. When they left, they saw the number of zombies. Staying behind meant they were ready to die.
They had thought of staying and fighting alongside their captain, but before they could voice their intentions, Zhang Yuan gave them his last order as vice captain—to join the Eagle Team and survive.
Under his order, they could only leave with heavy hearts.
Noticing their moods, Wei Ying wanted to comfort them, but he didn't know what to say. In the end, he let out a long sigh but said nothing.
When everyone thought that the Phantom Team had sacrificed their lives to allow them to escape, Jin Xuyan and his team were harvesting crystal cores.
After almost two hours of fighting, most of them had run out of energy. Besides Li Sikai and Yun Yusheng, who hadn't awakened their abilities, the one in the worst condition was Xiao Qi.
Due to his overuse of space, he was having a mental breakdown. Unlike other ability users, he couldn't recover his energy by absorbing crystal cores.
At this moment, he was sitting on top of the wall, crying while eating chocolate. As he chewed the chocolate with teary eyes, he looked at Feng Yun and asked hoarsely, "Brother Feng Yun, tell me, why do I feel so tired, sad, and stressed?"
Feng Yun, who also felt the overwhelming negative emotions hitting him stronger the more he used the big boulder to smash zombies, said, "I don't know."
"Don't you feel depressed, too?" Xiao Qi asked again.
After confirming his guess, Feng Yun stopped using his space and took a rest. Sitting beside Xiao Qi, he drank the water given by Jiao Lizhi before saying, "I think the negative emotions you are experiencing now are due to overusing your space."
Hearing this, Xiao Qi pointed at his brothers and asked, "Why don't they feel depressed? Why is it only me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he opened his mouth and bawled his eyes out.
