Chapter 186: A New Supply Point
In the following days, Katherine continued experimenting by sensing the way spirit plants absorbed corpse cores, continuously ripening fruits and vegetables, and selecting plants that might react to corpse cores.
This experimentation was extremely tedious and boring, and her own Chi capacity was limited.
Although she was nurturing ordinary plants, the sheer quantity was overwhelming.
Therefore, she focused mainly on evenings when she had no other plans to conduct these ripening and selection experiments.
Finally, tonight, after exhausting her Chi once again, she found a plant among dozens that showed a faint reaction to the corpse cores.
Excited, unable to wait until the next day, she dragged Grace along to practice the Hun Yuan Technique together to restore their Chi.
Finally, in the late hours of the night, she ripened the plant that showed a faint reaction to the corpse cores, expending all her energy to fully mature the potted tomato seedling.
Seeing the branches laden with bright red tomatoes, they couldn't contain their joy.
Coincidentally, Elijah arrived at that moment, and they excitedly recounted everything to him.
Though Elijah didn't see the fluorescent glow characteristic of spirit plants on the tomato seedling, after tasting one, he did sense the trace amounts of Chi within.
As the saying goes, the first step is always the hardest, and this successful first step meant they were on the right track!
Having a low Chi content was okay; they could continue to cultivate and select.
More importantly, these plants they cultivated themselves, containing trace amounts of Chi, could be propagated on a large scale.
Little by little, a qualitative change would come sooner or later.
Thinking of all this, Elijah couldn't contain his joy at the time, hugging and touching Katherine affectionately, eventually involving Grace unavoidably...
Last night, Katherine and Grace had worked tirelessly into the early hours, so Elijah decided not to wake them in the morning.
He went downstairs alone and found a quiet spot outside to practice his daily Hun Yuan Technique.
After finishing his morning exercises and returning to his villa, Elijah discovered Emily eagerly waiting for him on the island.
Taking advantage of everyone being occupied with breakfast preparations, Elijah ripened another growth stage of zombie grass into awakening readiness.
Following his usual process, he made a potion and handed it to Emily.
Witnessing Charlotte effortlessly dispatch zombies left Quentin astonished.
Her movements were simple yet effective, devoid of unnecessary actions, akin to a gazelle's swift horns.
Charlotte's mastery of body forging techniques was truly remarkable.
Daisy, Lily, and Olivia also impressed Quentin and his team with their decisive and efficient kills of the zombies. They were no weak women but rather a group of Valkyries in battle!
Gabriel's performance restored their confidence somewhat, but even in combat, Charlotte guided Gabriel, visibly improving his fighting abilities.
This made Quentin and his comrades envious, prompting them to study seriously alongside him.
Meanwhile, Elijah remained relatively idle during the journey, observing everyone attentively.
Whenever he spotted a well-preserved zombie, he would swiftly capture it, implant a Seed of Consciousness, and feed it two corpse cores.
Elijah planned to cultivate another batch of zombies so they would have a variety of abilities for future outings.
With occasional stops to clear zombies along the way, the two groups unknowingly arrived at their destination.
After gradually getting accustomed to each other, Charlotte gradually evolved into the true leader of the two groups.
Upon reaching the mall, she organized the clearing operations based on each person's abilities and weapons, commencing their work to purge the sprawling mall.
Unlike the previous mall they had occupied, this one was significantly larger, integrated with a skyscraper, and occupied a vast area, teeming with numerous zombies.
It even housed a few advanced first-tier zombies, two of which had awakened abilities. However, Elijah swiftly dealt with them.

The team continued clearing until dusk, barely securing most areas of the mall. However, their activities seemed to have attracted more zombies to the perimeter.
With nightfall approaching, clearing the zombies surrounding the mall would take too long!
Although Elijah wasn't afraid of nighttime operations, he had to consider the others. Therefore, the group unanimously decided to spend the night inside the mall.
This was part of their pre-departure plan, ensuring their absence from the base didn't cause concern.
Moreover, they now controlled the underground supermarket, ensuring ample supplies for food and drink.
That night, Elijah diligently practiced throughout, regretting he couldn't enjoy another playful evening with Jasmine. He missed the bumpy ride back to his room from outside the villa.
