Three days passed quickly.
During this time, Lu Chuan had almost transformed the sixth floor into a training room.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Muffled sounds kept emanating from the sixth-floor living room, accompanied by the snarls of zombies.
Crack!
Lu Chuan grabbed a zombie's arm, locked its joint, and then swung it forcefully.
This zombie slammed into another one that had just approached Lu Chuan's back, ready to bite.
Lu Chuan swiftly landed a high whip kick, knocking down another zombie beside him, its head flying right off with the blow.
Lu Chuan moved at lightning speed, completing the series of actions almost instantaneously.
After taking down three zombies, the other two barely managed to reach Lu Chuan's side.
Lu Chuan chuckled coldly, diving down to grab and slam the two zombies together.
Crack! Crack!
With Lu Chuan's fists swinging, the snarling zombies' heads were all smashed to a pulp.
Even when attacked by five zombies at once, Lu Chuan now handled it effortlessly.
Lu Chuan found that after evolving, his physical abilities had greatly improved.
Not only strength but also speed, reflexes, and bodily flexibility had all evolved comprehensively!
This significant enhancement made Lu Chuan facing the zombie siege seem like a martial arts master.
His body moved like a dancing butterfly, easily dodging the bites and attacks of these ordinary zombies.
And with the combat skills he had practiced during this period, Lu Chuan could quickly take down several zombies.
With the increase in strength, Lu Chuan could crush zombie heads with powerful punches and kicks!
Lu Chuan nodded with satisfaction, his body now truly resembling that of a post-apocalyptic survivor.
Previously, his frail and stiff body struggled to protect itself against ordinary zombie assaults, a concern that no longer exists!
Lu Chuan controlled the Corpse Puppets and moved these zombies, smashed into pieces, out of the room.
Lu Chuan then simply washed the blood off himself, as he had to feed the little guy soon; being covered in blood wouldn't do.
Returning to the seventh floor, Lu Chuan prepared the formula and fed Little Qiqi spoon by spoon.
Seeing the little one's pure smile, Lu Chuan couldn't help but smile too; the little one's appetite was growing, the milk tasted sweet every day.
Even in this apocalyptic world, Qiqi's appetite hadn't diminished.
After feeding Little Qiqi, Lu Chuan fetched a pile of toys he had scavenged.
Included were Barbie dolls, toy cars, teddy bears, and so on.
Ji Ruxue looked at her zombie dad, awkwardly playing with her, feeling exasperated.
Even though she seemed like a baby, her heart was that of a mature, calm, decisive Unparalleled Empress.
How could children's toys possibly interest her?
But it was still a kind gesture from her zombie dad.
Even as someone who had lived two lives, Ji Ruxue had long outgrown being entertained by small toys.
Yet she felt incredibly warm inside, as she had never felt such love and pampering in either life.
Seeing her zombie dad try so hard, Ji Ruxue forced a slight smile.
Lu Chuan initially felt frustrated seeing Little Qiqi expressionless.
Having never dated or raised a child, he could only imitate what he had seen in dramas.
Thinking he had failed, he was surprised when the little one actually smiled, bringing relief and doubling his efforts in amusing Ji Ruxue.
Ji Ruxue's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, "Being too kind might not be a good thing."
"Nevermind, assume it's training my telekinesis..."
After playing with the little one for a while, Lu Chuan nodded contentedly.
Then he went to the window, a sly grin appeared on his lips.
"Almost ready, time to test that guy's limits."
Lu Chuan selected his squad anew from the wandering zombie horde.
Though evolved zombies were rare, ordinary low-level zombies were still abundant on the streets.
Even with daily combat training, constantly depleting zombies, he could continually replenish his ranks from the surroundings.
After some selection, Lu Chuan had replenished ten Corpse Puppets.
Each one was tall, strong, fully limbed, not previously bitten by others.
The blood-red monster from last time had left a massive impact on Lu Chuan.
Two zombie Corpse Puppets were completely massacred without resistance.
This stark difference in combat power made Lu Chuan never underestimate the opponent.
Looking at these ten robust zombies wielding fire axes, Lu Chuan nodded in satisfaction.
Together, these ten Corpse Puppets exerted a formidable sense of pressure.
Lu Chuan believed that even against giant zombies, the Corpse Puppet squad could chop them to death.
Though looking at these zombies, Lu Chuan felt something still lacked. After some thought, he slapped his forehead.
"I've armed these zombies with weapons, but they need at least some armor!"
Lu Chuan remembered a corner store selling electric bikes and helmets.
He led the zombies to break open the shop door, outfitting each Corpse Puppet with a full-face motorcycle helmet.
Seeing his transformed Corpse Puppet squad standing before him, Lu Chuan beamed with joy.
The ten Corpse Puppets, donning black full-face helmets, holding fire axes in formation, might be mistaken for a biker gang reincarnate.
Lu Chuan tapped the helmets, nodding in satisfaction, the defense should now be adequate.
As for other armor, Lu Chuan didn't provide any, as they were only low-level zombies.
Without armor, he could just control new ones from the zombie horde if necessary.
Zombies are nearly undead, defying biological norms.
For zombies, only the head is fatally vulnerable; protect the head, and even with missing limbs, they can still fight.
Wearing helmets greatly enhances this Corpse Puppet squad's combat abilities.
Even with body tears, as long as the head remains intact, they can swing back with an axe.
Lu Chuan finally nodded in satisfaction.
Then, leading his Corpse Puppet squad, he boldly marched towards Building One.
