Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Zhao Lin Arrives for the Appointment!
Ji Ruxue looked out the window and frowned; within the district, it remained as calm as ever without any anomalies.
The hulking zombie was still stationed at the gate, and her zombie father was nowhere to be seen.
"Looks like I had an illusion..."
......
Two hours later, Lu Chuan, who had been asleep for a long time in Building Four, finally woke up.
The throbbing sensation in his mind before fainting had long disappeared by now, and Lu Chuan felt incredibly refreshed.
It was as if his entire being had a sense of enlightenment, and his mind seemed to be able to spread freely across all regions.
Lu Chuan immediately began to unleash his Spiritual Power, extending it as far as possible.
After some experiments, Lu Chuan discovered that the range he could currently control his Corpse Puppets had expanded to a full ten kilometers!
This vast distance even surprised Lu Chuan.
After all, his Spiritual Power did not need to consider the existence of buildings, but rather a ten-kilometer radius centered on himself!
Lu Chuan stood up, feeling as if his entire body was brimming with endless power.
Lu Chuan subconsciously lifted his clothes. His body under the jacket had expanded to fill out his clothes.
The dimensions of his musculature were two to three times larger than before, with his whole body packed with muscles like a super soldier.
He found a room with a bedroom and a mirror in Building Four, and looking at himself in the mirror, Lu Chuan was stunned.
The muscle lines all over his body had become angular, filled with terrifying explosive power.
Moreover, Lu Chuan found that he seemed to look more and more human.
The strange green-black skin of a zombie was gone, and his veins, which were previously purplish-black all over, had returned to a normal state.
He appeared paler than an average human, due to his blood not circulating.
Meanwhile, his pupils were still blood-red, but there was already some distinction between the whites of his eyes and his pupils, no longer the uniform blood-red like other zombies.
Lu Chuan always felt that although he had evolved, his physical close-combat strength was not very powerful.
However, after devouring the Crystal Core of a second-tier Tyrant zombie this time, Lu Chuan could clearly feel that even his physical close-combat strength had greatly improved.
Looking at the somewhat trembling ’Lightning One’ beside him, Lu Chuan smiled slightly.
Lu Chuan controlled ’Lightning One’ and led it to a spacious green space downstairs.
Then he issued a command for it to attack him, and instantly ’Lightning One’ burst out with terrifying speed like a cheetah.
As an Agile Zombie, ’Lightning One’ was extremely fast. Even in the past, under Lu Chuan’s control, a second-tier Tyrant zombie couldn’t catch up with ’Lightning One’.
Although it was only at the first tier, it was not comparable to the former Lu Chuan.
However, after his physical strength increased this time, when Lu Chuan faced off against ’Lightning One’ again, he found he could completely keep up with its speed.
’Lightning One’ no longer had the speed advantage in front of him, and Lu Chuan even intentionally used a stopwatch to measure their running speeds, finding that they were indeed neck and neck.
Then Lu Chuan couldn’t wait to engage in actual combat.
Bang!
With a powerful swing of Lu Chuan’s arm, he directly knocked ’Lightning One’ flying.
The physical prowess of both was no longer on the same level.
Lu Chuan looked at his sturdy arms and fists in surprise, unable to imagine the power that could erupt from his own body.
While ’Lightning One’ was an Agile Type zombie and weaker in strength compared to ’Da Pang’, it was still a physically evolved type of zombie, much stronger than his Spiritual Power type zombie self.
At least before devouring Crystal Cores, his pure physical prowess couldn’t even match ’Lightning One’, but now he successfully overwhelmed it.
Feeling the abundant power within, Lu Chuan was extremely excited.
Now, after continuously devouring Crystal Cores, his physical prowess was no weaker than that of ordinary combat-type evolved zombies.
However, Lu Chuan did not forget that his greatest advantage lay in his mind.
With his human consciousness, he could train a variety of combat skills, constantly summarizing experiences and enhancing his combat power in battle, which was much more efficient than zombies’ instinctive fighting methods.
Lu Chuan was very confident now. Even if he faced a Tyrant zombie again, he would have the power to put up a fight, even if he couldn’t win.
But for Lu Chuan, these physical strengths were supplemental.
His biggest change was still his Spiritual Power. Feeling his surging Spiritual Power, Lu Chuan estimated that he could now control second-tier evolved zombies.
He had witnessed firsthand the powerful combat capabilities of that Tyrant that swept through everything uncontested.
Unsure of when he might encounter another Tyrant zombie.
If he could control a powerful Tyrant, combining its strong physical prowess with his combat skills, the combat effectiveness of his Corpse Puppet squad would greatly increase!
If he could control a strong Tyrant, he wouldn’t have to worry too much if that strange, reviving female cop came back.
Then Lu Chuan controlled his Corpse Puppet team, heading further afield to track down evolved zombies.
Although sometimes that female cop seemed foolish, today she has indeed given me a reminder.
In this apocalypse, all kinds of resources can be used by me, without worrying about the moral censure of the past life.
When encountering powerful zombies from now on, I should be more strategic, rather than just thinking about brute force solutions.
...
On the seventh floor, in the living room.
A piece of paper flew around in the air, seemingly filled with writing.
"Hehe, that’s how it’ll be done tonight!"
Ji Ruxue nodded in satisfaction as she looked at the paper flying in the air.
She thought for a long time in the afternoon and decided not to meet with Nine Deaths Demon Police for the time being.
After all, her current body was just an infant’s; meeting the Nine Deaths Demon Police might cause the latter to have brain atrophy...
......
Soon, night fell.
"Dad, I’m sleepy."
Ji Ruxue greeted Lu Chuan early and returned to her bedroom.
It had been over two months since the end of the world, and the once bustling city had long lost its former hustle and bustle.
The neon lights were gone, leaving the city in utter darkness.
However, the moon in the sky was exceptionally bright; with humans gone and many factories halted, the sky over Jianghai City had become much clearer.
Under the moonlight, Zhao Lin stealthily moved along the street.
After bypassing a few wandering zombies, she successfully slipped into a breakfast shop called ’Sunshine Station’ on the outskirts of Sunshine District.
