Because after the zombie outbreak, the owner of this house probably escaped with their family.
So, even though the door was left open, there were no bloodstains inside, just some dust, making it look renewed after a simple cleaning.
After tidying up the room, Lu Chuan was very satisfied with the new home for himself and the little one.
The location here is high enough to easily overlook the environment of the district and effectively isolate the spread of smells and sounds, avoiding the anxiety of living on lower floors.
Now that the room is tidied up, the next thing to consider is food storage.
Previously, Lu Chuan had been gnawing on the leftover frozen meat from the stores, but that wouldn't suffice now.
The little one is still so young, many things need to be considered, and the temporary batch of formula he brought back is definitely not enough for the little one.
The little one can drink three big bowls at a time; the appetite is exceptional.
Not to mention, once the little one is weaned, they will need other food to eat.
Lu Chuan made up his mind to store more food in his little nest.
Looking outside, it was still daytime, so Lu Chuan lay down on the sofa.
After all, he was now a zombie. Although the zombies all over the streets ignored him, Lu Chuan was more worried about those survivors hiding in the shadows.
Zombies have no thoughts, they only know to devour living humans, and as a same kind, they won't attack him.
Now, with a world full of bloodthirsty zombies, it's actually the safest for Lu Chuan.
If he were to go out looking for supplies during the day and was spotted by a lurking survivor, it might raise some suspicion.
Despite dressing up as much like a human as possible, the zombies' attitude towards him would still attract the attention of those mindful people.
Humans now can only hide like rats, fleeing frantically from these bloodthirsty zombies.
But if he were comfortably carrying supplies along the streets, it would certainly give away clues.
Merely attracting attention is one thing, the fear is exposing his own nest and the little one as well.
In a post-apocalyptic world, humans aren't much safer than zombies...
Soon, the sun set, and the entire city plunged into darkness.
Due to widespread water and power outages, the once vibrant modern city now presented a scene of deathly silence, punctuated by the occasional zombie roar in the dark night.
For other survivors, the arrival of night is undoubtedly despairing.
Because human vision at night drastically decreases.
To find direction and supplies in this unlit city, one must rely on flashlights or night vision devices.
But zombies aren't entirely restricted in this way, even in the night Lu Chuan could move freely.
Changing clothes, putting on a backpack, and picking up his crowbar specifically for lock-picking, Lu Chuan was ready to set out.
This night serves as the best cover for him.
However, before leaving, Lu Chuan closed the bedroom door and dragged a large cabinet to block the staircase entrance on the seventh floor, preventing other zombies from breaking into the room.
These mindless zombies find it difficult to perform smart actions.
Using the cabinet to block the stairway, even if zombies enter the corridor, they'll eventually be obstructed.
Furthermore, the zombies in this building have been completely cleaned out; new ones usually won't bother climbing stairs.
The little one is still young, not likely to cause too much noise in the room.
However, Lu Chuan did this partly to guard against zombies, and also to prevent humans.
Since becoming a zombie, Lu Chuan has spent the last month living in a store, witnessing many post-apocalyptic calamities through the window.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, most people could still maintain calm and kindness amidst the crisis.
But as deaths increased and food shortages intensified, the dark side of human nature began to reveal itself.
Moreover, those kindest and most willing to help usually died early at the hands of zombies.
Lu Chuan remembers that within days of the crisis, one could often hear women's cries in the streets.
The sound was enough for him to know what was happening, and as weeks passed, the city began experiencing water and power cuts.
Some even initiated flesh trade, just for a bite to eat.
Pushing one's companion towards zombies for one's own escape became a commonplace occurrence in the apocalypse.
Lu Chuan even witnessed survivors who, driven mad by hunger, turned on their partners.
Though he had become a zombie, Lu Chuan restrained himself from hunting humans despite the bloodlust.
But some still alive began to kill and eat their own companions...
These people have lost their basic humanity, unworthy of being called humans, even sparing no child. If the little one were discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.
They'd do anything for a bite.
Lu Chuan resided in an old district called Sunshine District, where each building has a big iron security gate on the first floor.
Lu Chuan closed the iron gate on the first floor and used a rope to tightly bind it before leaving in peace.
The area was mainly residential, and even though households might not have abundant reserves, there was still substantial stock combined.
Packing a substantial amount of food into a hiking backpack, Lu Chuan conveniently hugged the remaining directly in his arms.
If some survivor with night vision goggles were present, they would witness a bizarre scene.
On the dark and quiet street, a bloodthirsty zombie was lurking, carrying a large pile of formula milk...
Suddenly, Lu Chuan sensed something amiss. He looked up sharply and realized that, somehow, the originally dim moon had turned into a Blood Moon!
The moon in the sky seemed freshly stained with blood, appearing eerie in the quiet night.
...
Sunshine District, Building 7, Room 702.
Bedroom, on the bed.
After waking up, Ji Ruxue found the room empty.
"Zombie dad, what are you doing out at night?"
"I really want to pee..."
Well, there are diapers, what a great invention.
At this moment, Ji Ruxue noticed through the partially drawn window that the Blood Moon outside looked incredibly bizarre!
"Blood Moon?!"
"Is it already the night of the Blood Moon?!"
"It seems the era of global evolution is about to begin!"
