Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: A Zombie Diligently Learning Martial Arts!

The zombie crisis erupted so suddenly that many people didn't even have time to react before they were devoured by zombies.

At the beginning of the apocalypse, everyone thought that ordinary zombies were already the final result of mutation.

But no one expected that after the Blood Moon, evolution and mutation began to occur globally.

This newly initiated path of evolution caught many people off guard.

My zombie dad, as an ordinary unevolved zombie, was at the bottom of the hierarchy in this world of global mutation.

Not only would he be killed by human survivors, but he would also be slaughtered by fellow zombies, or even those stronger Fierce Beasts...

As a low-level zombie on the front lines, surviving the apocalypse was already extremely difficult.

He also had to put effort into supporting himself, taking care of his own needs and safety, which was truly demanding for him.

Ji Ruxue felt deeply moved in her heart.

Even in such difficult circumstances, it seemed her zombie dad had no intention of giving up on her.

One must know that in the apocalypse, humanity had become an extremely precious commodity.

People who used to be kind could now commit any filthy and despicable act after experiencing the apocalypse's brutal reality.

Perhaps a gentleman before the apocalypse could transform into a cold-blooded killer after the fall.

It is hard to determine right from wrong, after all, everyone during the apocalypse focused on survival.

For many, merely staying alive was the greatest luxury.

Even those who were alive, even those with abundant resources and strong defenses in survivor camps, would abandon infants and the elderly to escape when necessary.

But her zombie dad had clearly experienced the apocalypse's harshness, transformed into a creature neither human nor ghost, yet he still retained the glory of humanity...

Ji Ruxue silently gazed at the night sky outside the window, her watery eyes revealing composure and calmness beyond her years.

It seemed she needed to speed up her cultivation, as more Evolved Zombies and Fierce Beasts would emerge as time progressed.

Relying solely on her zombie dad's capabilities, survival in this apocalypse was extraordinarily challenging.

With Ji Ruxue's breathing exercises, energy continuously entered her body, making her increasingly powerful.

Ji Ruxue was eager to become stronger, since it was evident her zombie dad couldn't be relied upon, and she had to depend on herself.

Fortunately, after so many days of training, Ji Ruxue had achieved certain accomplishments.

The intensity of her telekinesis had significantly increased compared to before.

At this moment, driven by Ji Ruxue's telekinesis, a silver needle on the bedside table swiftly flew into the air.

Whizz, whizz, whizz!

This extremely fine silver needle danced in mid-air at an incredibly terrifying speed.

Equipped with her Time Control Ability, Ji Ruxue was confident she could now kill undetected.

Even such a tiny silver needle could pierce a skull with the help of her telekinesis boost!

However, Ji Ruxue wasn't complacent about this; surviving the apocalypse required far more than just a few tricks.

As time went on, more powerful zombies and Fierce Beasts would gradually appear, and she needed to grow stronger to have any hope of survival.

...

In the living room, Lu Chuan was focused on reading a combat textbook.

This was what he found when he sent a Corpse Puppet to search the nearby buildings.

The original owner of the room was probably a combat enthusiast, as there were many combat textbooks.

They detailed various close combat techniques including Sanda, Judo, boxing, free fighting, and grappling.

Lu Chuan continuously explored and trained according to what he read in the room.

Having become a zombie and evolved, Lu Chuan's physical constitution was already superior to ordinary humans.

In fact, not many professional fighters' physiques could now surpass that of Lu Chuan.

Moreover, his body was no longer as stiff as that of a low-level zombie, making it easier to perform these complex combat moves.

Humans differ from other creatures in how they develop and use the brain.

These modern combat techniques were scientifically distilled through countless rehearsals in different environments, making for more effective training and attacks on enemies.

From his observations during this period, Lu Chuan noticed that zombie attack methods were primitive and violent.

Without human wisdom, zombies acted on instinct, primarily using claws or sharp teeth in a series of instinctive attacks.

This disorderly attacking method might work against unsuspecting ordinary people, but well-trained combat experts could neutralize the threat.

However, even in real-world situations, no matter how skilled a combat champion is, they wouldn't dare easily engage zombies up close.

This wasn't because human combat techniques were inferior, but because zombies lack intelligence and don't fear death.

Humans are different; they have more concerns because once bitten, they face conversion.

Most humans wouldn't take such risks.

But Lu Chuan was different; given he was already a zombie, getting bitten didn't matter, and he didn't fear the so-called zombie virus.

Retaining human consciousness, Lu Chuan saw it as his greatest advantage, which must be fully utilized.

He differed from other zombies, capable of using weapons most efficiently in battle.

Although his evolution was different from other zombies and didn't enhance close combat abilities,

This advanced scientific combat method might help bridge the gap in physical prowess.

Strength might crush skill, but skill could also manipulate strength.

Moreover, many joint lock techniques in martial arts are decisive and efficient, making them extremely effective even against zombies.

Furthermore, zombies lack the human drive, which means they cannot learn or defend; they act purely on instinct.

Brains triumph over mindlessness.

However, Lu Chuan knew that learning from books alone was shallow; he'd read many news stories about martial artists who ended up getting fatally stabbed despite their skills...

After mastering some basic combat moves and training for a while, Lu Chuan warmed up as he reached the sixth floor.

He maneuvered a Corpse Puppet into the living room, then lifted his telekinetic control.

This Corpse Puppet became his sparring partner, on which he continuously practised the combat skills learned during this period.

If a zombie knew martial arts, no one could stop it.
