"Damn it, this guy actually got away!"
Watching the figure disappear outside the window, Lu Chuan couldn't help but curse silently.
He didn't expect that even with ten Corpse Puppets and ample preparation, the adversary managed to escape.
This zombie could walk effortlessly even on a ninety-degree building facade.
Its movements were so swift, it was practically a born killer.
Lu Chuan secretly felt fortunate he had prepared a helmet ahead of time, or today not only would he fail to capture this blood-red monster, but he would also lose a large number of Corpse Puppets!
This blood-red monster was so fast that Lu Chuan couldn't clearly follow its movements.
This inability to kill it during the mission might alert the monster, giving it a sense of caution or even a desire for revenge!
Its limbs had terrifying strength, easily able to hang inverted anywhere, ready to strike at any moment. This was by far the most challenging Mutated Zombie Lu Chuan had encountered.
Letting this monster escape was like having a ticking time bomb.
If it fled the neighborhood outright, it would be fine, but the fear was it might still be lurking inside, posing a huge threat to him.
This zombie moved silently, making it hard to track its whereabouts. In a one-on-one fight, Lu Chuan was not its match.
The worst part was that the building outside wall posed no obstacle to zombies, allowing them to climb freely like spiders...
Lu Chuan's greatest concern now was that if the blood-red monster sneaked into Building 5, it would be disastrous.
After all, this creature didn't need stairs; even if he stationed several zombies to block the hallways, it would be of no use.
Should it discover Little Qiqi, it could climb the outer wall, rendering defenses useless...
But at the moment, Lu Chuan was at a loss, having underestimated the creature's strength and allowing it to escape...
It's never too late to mend the fold after the sheep have escaped.
Lu Chuan quickly regained his composure and began formulating a defensive plan.
Immediately, he stationed three strong Corpse Puppets, fully armed to patrol inside Building 5 daily, ensuring he would be alerted if the monster infiltrated, preventing a surprise attack.
Looking at the marks the zombie left on the wall, Lu Chuan clicked his tongue in disbelief.
Such a formidable presence, the energy within its Crystal Core was likely far surpassing any large or Agile Type zombies he had encountered before.
If he could devour this zombie's Crystal Core, his strength would surely ascend to another level.
For now, Lu Chuan could only dispatch other Corpse Puppets to continue patrolling the area, hoping to encounter other evolved type zombies.
Having swallowed two Crystal Cores, Lu Chuan felt very confident, but this blood-red monster had given him a reality check.
Lu Chuan urgently wanted to boost his strength; otherwise, if he faced a more powerful zombie, controlling several Corpse Puppets would be futile.
Lu Chuan could now control Corpse Puppets within a 3000-meter radius. This distance was quite extensive.
In the seventh-floor bedroom, Ji Ruxue's Telekinesis had also made considerable progress.
At this moment, she was manipulating two dolls, making them fly around in the air.
Being the Unparalleled Empress, Ji Ruxue initially had no interest in playing with such small toys.
But she wanted to respect Lu Chuan's goodwill, and later found that controlling the dolls was not only fun but also enhanced her Telekinesis, and she became unexpectedly fascinated...
Detecting Lu Chuan's approach from outside the door, Ji Ruxue quickly stopped using Telekinesis and pulled the dolls into her embrace.
As Lu Chuan entered, he saw Little Qiqi happily playing with the dolls here.
The smile was pure, and her eyes shone with unblemished innocence.
Seeing such a pure and wonderful little creature, Lu Chuan's mood seemed to be healed.
"Little one, this world is too dark and broken; I hope when you grow you won't be disappointed by it..."
"I hope you continue growing carefree, and that both of us can keep living in this post-apocalyptic world."
Looking at the little one before him, Lu Chuan felt motivated in everything he did.
Despite the devastation outside the window, there remained a human touch of beauty and purity within this bedroom.
To survive in this world means constant killing, and this bedroom is Lu Chuan's last haven.
Looking at the bedroom window, Lu Chuan's expression became exceedingly serious, and he hurriedly left.
Ji Ruxue curiously watched her zombie dad, who hadn't gone out searching for supplies for days but stayed indoors.
Now coming in and going out with a frown, had something happened outside?
Soon, Ji Ruxue saw her zombie dad returning with a pile of planks and nails.
Then he began nailing the planks onto the window one by one.
That blood-red monster far exceeded ordinary judgment, completely different from regular zombies.
Although it couldn't walk upright, it could scale walls in an exaggerated manner.
Even the outer building walls posed no obstacle, so the previously safe seventh floor was now no longer secure.
Even though Lu Chuan arranged Corpse Puppets to patrol the hallway for safety...
Such zombies could bypass usual paths. If it climbed through the bedroom window, it couldn't be guarded against.
He couldn't constantly monitor the bedroom window, so he had to temporarily board it up.
At least this would prevent being caught off guard, maintaining Little Qiqi's safety to a certain extent.
As Ji Ruxue lay on her bed, she couldn't help but feel puzzled by what she saw.
Her zombie dad had been home for days without venturing out, but today he started boarding the window?
Looking at her zombie dad's serious demeanor, Ji Ruxue lightly raised her eyebrow.
Could it be her zombie dad experienced the formidable strength of Evolved Zombies and was too afraid, wanting to escape the chaos outside?
Ji Ruxue pondered, and it seemed this could be the only explanation since typically zombies wouldn't board up windows.
Even though Ji Ruxue understood, ordinary low-tier zombies instinctively felt terrified when facing evolved Mutated Zombies.
Normal low-tier zombies had no chance against Mutated Zombies.
However, it shouldn't scare him to the point of closing up the windows...
Ji Ruxue helplessly shook her head.
"My zombie dad truly is a coward."
