Watching the zombie father tirelessly wielding a machete on the balcony, Ji Ruxue finally understood why she could hear all kinds of clattering noises from downstairs every day when she was in bed.
Thinking of this, Ji Ruxue felt a sudden realization. No wonder the zombie father hadn't left the house in the past few days; he must have sensed the crisis outside and was practicing combat skills in the house.
Although the zombie father's swordsmanship was quite unsightly, there was no denying that it was indeed an effective way to strengthen his abilities.
Outside, the zombies mutated by the Blood Moon mutation had all evolved, possessing formidable combat power, and they would also undergo some significant changes.
But her zombie father hadn't changed at all until now, obviously one of the most ordinary low-level cannon fodder zombies.
So, tirelessly waving swords, improving his skill with the blade, and strengthening his attack and defense as much as possible was not a bad approach.
At least in Ji Ruxue's memories of her previous life, many survivors would work out to strengthen their bodies for more and better stamina when facing zombies.
As an ordinary zombie without special abilities, it's only through such simple methods that he can improve his survival rate in this apocalypse.
Ji Ruxue watched Lu Chuan practicing his machete swings and for a moment, her mind wandered elsewhere.
And Lu Chuan, seeing Ji Ruxue watching him so intently, thought the little girl was interested in these things.
For a moment, Lu Chuan wielded the machete even more powerfully, the sound of it cutting through the air echoed in the space.
"I didn't expect the little one to be interested in such violent things, it seems I need to practice more diligently, so I can teach her this set of techniques when she grows up," Lu Chuan thought proudly.
In this apocalypse, the only method Lu Chuan could think of was to simply increase survival chances.
The little girl, being a girl interested in handling knives and swords, was a good thing in Lu Chuan's eyes.
After all, the apocalypse is very cruel and won't be lenient because of your age or gender.
Lu Chuan was also happy to share his experiences with her when she grew up, at least to improve the little one's chance of survival.
In this brutal apocalypse, Lu Chuan still felt that enhancing survival ability was more necessary.
In the following days, Lu Chuan just let Little Qiqi play by herself in the living room.
After all, the windows in the seventh-floor bedroom were boarded up to prevent that bloody creature, so the lighting wasn't good.
The sixth-floor living room was much brighter, and as he often trained in combat there, it was more spacious.
Lu Chuan practiced his close-combat skills and blade techniques on the balcony, while Ji Ruxue practiced upright walking in the living room, also honing her telekinesis abilities.
Accompanied by Lu Chuan, little Ji Ruxue walked more steadily each day.
Under Lu Chuan's watch, Little Qiqi was progressing so rapidly compared to ordinary children, it was almost incredible, like a prodigy.
Yet Ji Ruxue's eyes became more determined, with not a hint of childish innocence in her clear black and white pupils.
As the apocalypse progressed, Ji Ruxue felt a sense of crisis growing inside her, becoming more anxious.
After all, since the Blood Moon mutation, the whole world had become fraught with danger.
The abundant release of energy factors in the air caused many zombies to undergo a series of mutations and evolution.
And now, this was just the beginning, the changes would become more terrifying later on.
Meanwhile, many other creatures joined the ranks of evolution.
For an ordinary cannon fodder like her zombie father, there might soon be no room for survival.
So Ji Ruxue knew she had to grow up quickly.
At the very least, she needed to master upright walking quickly, to have some decent mobility.
Only in this way could she help the zombies, and at least not be a burden in this apocalypse.
In such a gradually more brutal apocalypse, an ordinary unevolved zombie, plus an infant not yet able to move freely, seemed like a catastrophic start to Ji Ruxue.
As an empress, if she wanted to turn the tide with such a start, she had no other option but to find a way to quickly enhance her cultivation progress.
Roar!
Just as Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue were methodically improving themselves, suddenly a furious roar came from outside the building.
Upon hearing the roar, Lu Chuan, who was watching Ji Ruxue walk, immediately reacted.
In the next second, Lu Chuan's vision shifted, and he controlled a Corpse Puppet to swiftly arrive at the scene.
He saw, among the greenery of Sunshine District, two zombies who had obviously undergone mutation and evolution post-Blood Moon mutation fighting incessantly.
One of the zombies was very large, standing nearly two and a half meters tall, with muscle-bound strength.
Especially its two strong arms, like bulging dragons, its punches stirred the air with a tigerish wind, causing a chilling sensation.
With its arm swing, it could even smash a crater into the ground.
This was precisely a Tank Type zombie that Lu Chuan had seen and even absorbed a Crystal Core from.
The other one was even more familiar to Lu Chuan, a terrifying blood-colored creature with a quadpedal stance and a low posture.
Though it didn't have the massive size and visual power of the Tank Type, it was extremely agile.
And each attack was equally remarkable.
The sharp claws streaked through the air, if it were an ordinary zombie, it would probably have been killed several times over.
This uniquely postured zombie appeared very strange to Lu Chuan.
To have evolved into such a monstrous form, other zombies might even loathe it...
However, the combat power of this blood-colored monster was indeed terrifying, even Lu Chuan's Corpse Puppet team relied on fully enclosed helmets.
Otherwise, he joked that not many would have survived entering the building.
But through the Corpse Puppet's eyes, Lu Chuan felt a bit puzzled.
Where did this big zombie come from after he blew one to bits a while ago?
Is zombie evolution this frequent?
Most crucially, Lu Chuan noticed that the wounds on that blood-colored monster zombie were healed.
Even the arm that Lu Chuan's controlled Corpse Puppet had cut off had grown back!!
The battle between these two powerful zombies was exceptionally frightening in its fury.
Lu Chuan surmised that these two evolved zombies were likely full of killing intent, probably to seize each other's Crystal Core.
