These Corpse Puppets, controlled by Lu Chuan, have long lost their own thoughts unless Lu Chuan chooses to disconnect them actively.
Although the Crystal Core is full of temptation for the zombies, these remaining three Corpse Puppets are completely unmoved.
Under Lu Chuan's control, the three Corpse Puppets sped towards the community.
Along the way, perhaps some zombies caught a whiff of them and wanted to come forward and snatch it; Lu Chuan controlled the Corpse Puppets to raise their axes and strike.
Evolved Zombies are somewhat difficult to deal with, but for these ordinary zombies with no thoughts, Lu Chuan's controlled Corpse Puppets could basically take them out with one axe swing each.
The Crystal Core escort team cut through like a hot knife through butter, rushing back to the community.
After taking the Crystal Core, Lu Chuan made these three Corpse Puppets wield fire axes and stand guard before the building's door to ensure the safety of the building.
He then quickly ran to the sixth floor.
Upon seeing the Crystal Core, Lu Chuan was immediately delighted, because he discovered that this Crystal Core was identical to the one he had previously absorbed, white with a touch of red.
This meant that the agile zombie he just encircled and killed was not only an Evolved Zombie but had also devoured a Crystal Core!
"No wonder this Agile Type Zombie was so swift, it turned out it had already evolved once."
Calming the slight excitement in his heart, Lu Chuan then swallowed this Crystal Core.
Instantly, a vast energy once again swept through his body, similar to the feeling before.
Lu Chuan's brain seemed to have expanded immensely again, but with the prior experience, Lu Chuan found it easy this time around.
Clenching his teeth and enduring the process of his telekinesis rapidly increasing, eventually, a very clear-minded feeling returned to his brain.
A faint smile slowly appeared on Lu Chuan's lips; he knew his strength had become stronger again.
Lu Chuan's five senses were once again enhanced, his hearing and vision, among others, had improved significantly compared to before, and most importantly, his telekinesis was far more powerful than before!
Moreover, Lu Chuan's previously very feeble body had finally significantly improved after devouring two Crystal Cores.
His physical strength and speed, along with the defense of his skin, were all much enhanced compared to before!
Lu Chuan had been genuinely envious when he previously saw the massive size and strength of that large figure.
Especially those two arms that were like refined steel, they could withstand attacks from an agile zombie capable of tearing apart a car.
Though his body has not quite evolved to such an exaggerated level, it was much stronger than before.
Waving his fists with the wind roaring beneath, Lu Chuan felt like a martial arts master from a wuxia movie, who has immersed himself in martial arts for many years.
Feeling his current body, Lu Chuan nodded in satisfaction.
Although his evolution direction was always in telekinesis, his previously weak body made him a bit uneasy.
Now, he finally was significantly pleased with himself.
Lu Chuan picked up a steel machete placed by the side and started swinging it.
In an instant, the living room was filled with flashes of the blade, with fierce and sharp whooshing sounds constantly slicing through the air.
This steel machete in Lu Chuan's hands seemed like a deadly weapon.
Excitement flashed across Lu Chuan's eyes; indeed, devouring Crystal Cores accelerated powerups greatly, substantially enhancing his close combat abilities!
Afterward, Lu Chuan concentrated his mind, finding that his telekinesis had also significantly improved than before.
If, initially, after the evolution by the Blood Moon, his telekinesis was roughly like a cup of water.
Now, it had multiplied several times, and could be likened to a washbasin.
Standing upstairs, Lu Chuan conducted a simple test and found that his current telekinetic power was sufficient to control ten zombies!
Moreover, the limit of control distance had reached 3,000 meters!
Feeling extremely excited, Lu Chuan quickly ran downstairs and, among the surrounding zombie hordes, selected ten zombies with healthy limbs and strong bodies to serve as his Corpse Puppet squad.
During this period, Lu Chuan's dispatch of Corpse Puppets didn't miss searching for supplies around here.
For weapons like fire axes, Lu Chuan would make the Corpse Puppets bring them back to the building whenever spotted.
Equipping each Corpse Puppet with a sharp fire axe, these robust Corpse Puppets of average height of one meter eighty now stood in front of Lu Chuan.
Each one bearing a fire axe on their shoulder, exuding an extraordinarily mighty aura!
Looking at his zombie squad, Lu Chuan nodded in satisfaction.
The zombie version of the Axe Gang seemed to have already taken shape.
Standing in front of this zombie squad, Lu Chuan only felt spirited, having shed all the confusion and depression after the apocalypse.
At this moment, Lu Chuan was already conjuring up an image in his mind of commanding a massive Zombie Army, wielding sharp blades in battles far and wide.
Heh heh heh, you may be strong, but so what, in a one-on-one fight, I may not be the rival of those close-combat evolved zombies.
But... when Lu Chuan ventures out, he relies on three things!
Ferocity! Telekinesis! Numerous Corpse Puppets!
Surviving the apocalypse requires influence, who would fight solo against a bunch of small fry that only evolve muscles, not brain!
I'm adopting the spawn-troop strategy! Employing a mass mobilization approach!
You're empty-handed fighting me, sorry, I've got axes and machetes together to serve you.
Martial ethics?
Having more men and more axes is the real good!
Looking at his gradually stronger-armed subordinates, Lu Chuan felt increasingly rich in confidence.
Turning his head towards Building No. 1 in the distance, Lu Chuan slightly squinted, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.
He had not forgotten that in Building No. 1, there existed an extremely terrifying monster, utterly different from any zombie he had encountered before.
Lu Chuan was even hesitant to call it a zombie because as a member of the Zombie Race, he really didn't want to acknowledge his kind with such a creature...
Controlling the Corpse Puppets to experience death first-hand at close range, that blood-red figure brought terrifying shock to Lu Chuan.
Especially after facing an agile zombie today, in comparison, that zombie made Lu Chuan even more apprehensive.
Even this twice-evolved agile zombie couldn't withstand his swarm tactics, but the speed of that blood-red figure was even faster than an agile zombie, and its attacks were even more ferocious.
What Lu Chuan was most concerned about was that the opponent also had a tongue that could serve as a hidden weapon, almost impossible to guard against.
Two zombies were instantly killed; could the ten Corpse Puppets' strength barely swallow the opponent?
After thinking it over, Lu Chuan shook his head; with his current strength, it's still hard to guarantee victory over the opponent.
The main problem was the too little knowledge about that monster, having merely met it once while scavenging for resources before.
Lu Chuan glanced towards the direction of Building No. 1, an apprehensive flash in his eyes.
Considering the opponent's mysterious strength, Lu Chuan decided to find another opportunity in a few days, and send the Corpse Puppets in to test again, to see to what extent this monster's strength has reached.
There was this ticking time bomb around, Lu Chuan's mind couldn't be at ease.
