Gangzi saw the agility and strength of the four people in front of him, and couldnât help but swallow nervously.
It had been over two months since the apocalypse began, and it was the first time he encountered so many Evolvers. The cooperation among the four was seamless, clearly not their first time.
This naturally aroused some curiosity in Gangzi about the fourâs identity.
...
Meanwhile, Lu Chuan was in the Sunshine District, looking at the newly acquired second-order Evolved Zombie below, feeling overjoyed.
The recent incident in the Sunshine District made Lu Chuan realize that he must enhance his strength as quickly as possible.
Lu Chuan controlled âEr Pangâ and âDa Pangâ to stand within the district, and without using weapons, the two giants crashed together.
As a result, the originally very sturdy âDa Pangâ was directly knocked away by âEr Pangâ.
Although both were Tank Type zombies, âEr Pangâ was like an adult picking a fight with a kindergarten, and they werenât on the same level.
âDa Pangâ swung its massive iron hammers, which, to the more enormous second zombie, were akin to holding two toothpicks.
Lu Chuan stood on the balcony, stroking his chin, and fell into deep thought.
From his experience controlling zombies, those with weapons were on a completely different level than those without.
The issue was how to equip âEr Pangâ with a suitable weapon.
âDa Pangâ and the agile zombies could rummage through the hardware store for contraband, but it wasnât as easy for âEr Pangâ.
The strength of a second-order evolved zombie had grown absurdly, capable of throwing cars weighing several tons hundreds of meters away, making ordinary things far from being able to exhibit its power.
Lu Chuanâs eyes lit up. Through his exploration, he found a construction site and a steel mill not far from Sunshine Home, which might house a suitable weapon for âEr Pangâ.
Lu Chuan then controlled âEr Pangâ and âLightning Twoâ to head to the nearest steel mill from Sunshine Home.
The steel mill had long been abandoned post-apocalypse, with a littering of discarded materials.
There were quite a few bodies and wandering zombies inside the mill, but they dared not approach after sensing âEr Pangâs powerful aura.
Lu Chuan directed âEr Pangâ to keep searching for a handy material in the mill.
Finally, Lu Chuan set his sights on a massive metal rod nearly three meters long and roughly thirty centimeters in diameter!
Though he didnât know what it was for, just its weight was intimidating, much more imposing than âDa Pangâs iron hammer.
This solid steel rod weighed a terrifying amount. Anyone else wouldnât think of using such an exaggerated thing as a weapon.
It weighed over a ton, which normal people couldnât even lift, let alone wield as a weapon!
Lu Chuan maneuvered âEr Pangâ to the open center of the steel mill and immediately swung the rod around.
In âEr Pangâs hands, the rod, weighing more than a ton, was swung with ferocity; watching this from âLightning Twoâs perspective made Lu Chuanâs scalp tingle.
To test the weaponâs power, Lu Chuan directed âEr Pangâ to use the rod on an abandoned car on the street.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With one swing, the roadside car was smashed to smithereens, and even when thrown, the rod could pierce through thinner concrete walls!
Seeing âEr Pangâ with a new weapon, Lu Chuan was dumbfounded.
With this three-meter-long steel rod, âEr Pangâ became a Demon Lord of Chaos, possessing the terrifying strength to stop anyone in his tracks!
"As time goes by, thereâll be more Evolvers and Mutated Zombies, so I need to accelerate my evolution too."
A cold gleam flashed in Lu Chuanâs eyes. This incident at Sunshine District had made him deeply aware of the importance of strength.
Now, with âEr Pangâs formidable combat strength, it was time to continue hunting other second-order zombies and Mutated Fierce Beasts, absorbing Crystal Cores to enhance his power.
Inside Building Five of the Sunshine District.
In the room on the fifth floor where Zhao Lin was held, the adorable, princess-dressed Ji Ruxue was feeding Zhao Lin bread, bit by bit.
If one ignored âLightning Oneâ standing at the door with a steel knife and Zhao Linâs bindings, it would indeed be a very warm scene.
Lu Chuan recently noticed Little Qiqi seemed to enjoy chatting with Zhao Lin, so he let the little one feed Zhao Lin.
This way, Zhao Lin wouldnât have to be unchained every mealtime, reducing risk while allowing the little one more social interaction to break the monotony.
Zhao Lin ate the fragrant bread while observing the numerous supplies in the room.
"Little Qiqi, all this baby formula must be for you, right?"
Zhao Lin was quite puzzled about how this amount of formula and baby supplies were gathered...
Compared to the supplies amassed with her team over more than two months, this roomâs collection was abysmal.
Reflecting on the previous battles and the oddities in Building Five, a glint of suspicion flashed in Zhao Linâs eyes.
"Little Qiqi, be honest with sister, Corpse King is probably your dad, right?"
Zhao Lin felt the situation in Building Five was too bizarre, so she looked at Ji Ruxue inquisitively.
Facing Zhao Linâs question, Ji Ruxue only beamed innocently, continuing to tear pieces of bread to feed Zhao Lin.
Ji Ruxue chuckled inwardly, thinking that this Nine Deaths Demon Police wasnât too dumb, but obtaining information about her father from her was impossible.
...
In an alley in Jianghai City, four Evolvers were using medical supplies to tend to Gangziâs abdominal wound.
"So, youâre all from Jianghai City?" Gangzi said solemnly.
One of them, a muscular man with slicked-back black hair, nodded: "Yes, we originally lived nearby, and we came back to see if we had any surviving relatives left."
"Hiding in Jianghai City, you probably donât know, by hunting these evolved zombies and beasts mutated after the red moon, you can obtain Crystal Cores from them."
"These Crystal Cores are treasures post-apocalypse, exchangeable for Evolution Potions at the Survivor Base. Only by becoming an Evolver can one gradually grow stronger!"
