Lu Chuan looked at the results of his efforts from the night and nodded with satisfaction.
The various storage spaces and open areas in the room were now filled with all sorts of supplies he had brought over.
Even with Qiqiâs considerable appetite, it was definitely enough to last him a long time.
After all, no matter how much the little guy could eat, at the end of the day, he was just a baby, and could only drink formula every day.
With plenty of supplies prepared, Lu Chuan decided to stay at home for a while.
In the apocalypse, survival is key. Moreover, given that he has awakened an ability to control zombies, it means this world is far from as simple as he had imagined.
Lu Chuan could understand that the individual zombiesâ physical abilities could strengthen over time or with constant devouring.
But being able to control zombie actions completely defied the laws of biological nature.
The blood moon hanging high last night made Lu Chuan feel deeply uneasy.
He had changed, and it was hard to guarantee that other zombies wouldnât as well.
No one knew what strange powers zombies might have after evolving, so Lu Chuan decided to lie low for a while.
After all, having just reincarnated in this world and then being attacked by zombies, Lu Chuan didnât feel that his luck was particularly good...
After feeding Qiqi, Lu Chuan decided to observe the building for a while before considering going out after confirming the outside world was safe.
Anyway, he had already gathered a lot of supplies and didnât mind staying a few more days.
"This world is really unfamiliar, changing in peculiar ways every moment..."
"If it were just myself, Iâd accept this neither human nor ghostly life, but now that thereâs Qiqi, I must become stronger!"
Lu Chuan went to the living room and picked up a steel machete about half a meter long.
He had found it in a room on the sixth floor while sweeping through the building earlier.
According to Lu Chuanâs memory of this city, it also prohibited controlled knives.
Who knows what the previous owner of that place did for a living to have such a long machete, and a very sharp one at that.
The straight back and heavy blade made it very suitable for long periods of hacking, typical of a chopping knife.
However, clearly, the previous set of rules didnât apply in this apocalypse.
After a night of the Blood Moon Mutation, besides his ability to control other zombies, Lu Chuanâs physical fitness had also improved significantly.
His bodyâs agility was no different from an ordinary human, whereas before, his limbs were stiff, only capable of simple actions.
But now, he could swing the machete fluidly, with the blade flashing silver arcs in the air.
Though Lu Chuan had never practiced any specific knife skills, as a zombie, his physical strength surpassed ordinary humans.
At this moment, he wielded the machete with powerful and swift movements.
Lu Chuan began to practice knife techniques in the living room following moves he remembered from martial arts novels and movies.
The machete cut through the air with a whooshing sound as it sliced, producing a sound of slicing through the air.
Looking at the machete, Lu Chuan was very pleased; its sharp edge made it an excellent close combat weapon.
The macheteâs lethality far exceeded that of a crowbar.
Lu Chuan felt confident that he could cleave a zombieâs head in half with a single stroke of the machete.
The difference between humans and other animals is that humans can learn to use tools. All those zombies on the street donât know how to use weapons and only know to tear with teeth and claws.
But Lu Chuan was different; with human consciousness, he naturally had to master this more scientific and advanced way of fighting.
Lu Chuan was confident that with a knife in hand, he could at least fight several zombies at once.
While Lu Chuan was practicing his knife skills, Ji Ruxue, after resting for a while, regained her Telekinesis and began to ponder her Talent Abilities.
In this life, Ji Ruxue had two very powerful powers: Time Control.
It was something she had from her previous life, already very familiar with, requiring no practice to release as long as she had enough telekinetic power.
The other was the Telekinesis Control she had newly awakened, which required practice over time to master.
Ji Ruxue concentrated intensely, focusing on a silver needle on the nightstand.
Under Ji Ruxueâs telekinetic control, the silver needle slowly floated into the air.
Following Ji Ruxueâs gestures, the needle drew a path in the air.
The silver needle hovered above Ji Ruxueâs head, looking utterly incredible.
It was like a scene from a sci-fi movie, incomprehensible and unthinkable.
Although Ji Ruxueâs current telekinetic control was slow, she was confident that with enough practice, it would become an invisible killer technique over time.
As her telekinetic power increased, the weight of the objects she could control would also increase over time.
It was a needle now, but perhaps one day she could control flying knives.
And like that, time flew by, and two days passed. In those two days, Lu Chuan practiced knife skills in the living room.
Ji Ruxue practiced her Sky-controlling Power in the bedroom, both living very fully, striving for a better life for each other.
One day, after feeding Ji Ruxue, Lu Chuan noticed something stirring outside.
Lu Chuan looked out the balcony window and saw on the street two zombies tearing into each other.
The commotion of their fight was loud enough for Lu Chuan on the seventh floor to hear.
Lu Chuan was puzzled, as he didnât see any humans around those two zombies.
Having spent a month among them, Lu Chuan knew these creatures fairly well.
Zombies are ruthless, like emotionless killing machines.
But they only act when humans are around.
Typically, zombies donât attack each other except for competing over food.
But there was clearly no food being contested below...
This was why Lu Chuan was so shocked to see the zombies fighting; it went beyond all he understood until now.
