The Blood Evil Blade Technique recorded in this manual amazed Lu Chuan immensely.
He never imagined that there could be such a peculiar cultivation technique in the world, beyond his previous understanding of martial arts.
But in a world where even zombies exist, having some extraordinary martial arts doesnât seem impossible.
The myriad of mysteries left Lu Chuan feeling fascinated and reluctant to leave.
However, after Lu Chuan closed the manual, he seemed to feel something wasnât quite right.
This manual looks familiar, where have I seen it before...?
The more Lu Chuan looked, the more he felt this martial arts manual that fell from the sky resembled Little Qiqiâs exercise book?
But the only difference was that the handwriting for the Blood Evil Blade Technique was much more elegant than the little oneâs.
If it werenât for the different handwriting, Lu Chuan wouldâve suspected it was something the little one scribbled for fun.
After all, aside from the penmanship, both the cover and the interior pages were identical.
Although the origins of this manual were unknown, with such a peculiar cultivation technique landing by his side, there was no reason not to cultivate it.
Lu Chuan wasnât bothered about the manualâs origins and immediately began delving into it with great perseverance.
The manual described the blade technique as so powerful that Lu Chuan was eager to witness its might with his own eyes.
Lu Chuan then began wielding his machete, starting his training step by step according to the chants of the cultivation technique.
As his strength continued to improve, Lu Chuan became increasingly aware of how crucial combat skills were to victory or defeat.
After all, even if zombies were of the same level, the outcome was entirely different when he controlled them versus when he didnât.
...
Meanwhile.
Across from the Sunshine District, Gangzi and his Evolution Team hid inside a store, watching the zombies outside constantly transporting supplies into the Sunshine District, causing them to grind their teeth in frustration.
"Damn it! I was wondering why we couldnât find a scrap around here; turns out these zombies took everything away?!"
"But this group of zombies are just a bunch of bloodthirsty creatures, feasting on flesh every day. Why are they transporting human mineral water and bread? When did zombies start going vegetarian?"
The few of them looked at Lu Chuanâs Corpse Puppet team outside, bewildered.
However, a bold idea came to the minds of the Evolvers as they exchanged glances, each seeing the same thought in the eyes of the others.
"Why concern ourselves with why these zombies are transporting supplies; we know for sure that a massive stockpile must be in that Sunshine District now!"
"These zombies took all the supplies, and we went hungry for days because of it!"
Gangzi then nodded and proposed, "If we can get our hands on the supplies in the district, we wonât have to worry about food and clothes afterward!"
Theyâre almost out of supplies and desperately needed a resupply, or else they faced long-term hunger.
Everyone nodded at Gangziâs suggestion.
But soon, the Evolver in charge of healing said apprehensively, "If it were just ordinary zombies, thatâd be fine, but donât forget, thereâs a new type of zombie capable of wielding weapons at the districtâs entrance!"
"That big one is evidently at Tier 2 strength. Are you sure we can handle it?"
Upon hearing this, everyone began to ponder, realizing that such a powerful Tier 2 zombie was indeed a problem.
If it were just a Tier 1 evolved zombie, it wouldnât pose much of a threat to them.
Even with an ordinary Tier 2 evolved zombie, their teamâs coordination could whittle it down over time.
But the zombie before them wasnât just any Tier 2 evolved zombie; it was an unknown existence they hadnât encountered before!
Upon witnessing Er Pang wielding a massive steel rod against a Tier 2 Tyrant Zombie, breaking bones and sinews, it left the Evolver team apprehensive, unwilling to act rashly.
The team leader, the man with slicked-back hair, looked at the supplies carried by the zombies outside. A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes as he gathered the team for discussion.
"Weâve been hungry for so long, and are you just going to watch the supplies slip right through our fingers, letting a bunch of zombies take it all away?"
"Since thereâs a Tier 2 zombie guarding the gate, why donât we sneak in from the outer wall?"
"Although the districtâs walls are high, thatâs only a problem for ordinary people. Do we Evolvers fear a high wall and barbed wire?"
Upon hearing this plan, they briefly contemplated it before nodding in agreement.
As the team leader said, scaling into the district with their skills wouldnât be an issue.
Furthermore, with so many supplies in front of them, they were all tempted to take the risk.
...
Meanwhile, after a brief period of practicing the Blood Evil Blade Technique, Lu Chuan felt incredibly revitalized.
This blade technique was indeed as profound as described, far surpassing Lu Chuanâs previous understanding of martial arts.
Returning to his room, Lu Chuan was making egg fried rice for Little Qiqi, who quickly ran to his side.
"Daddy, make a serving for Sister Zhao Lin too."
Ji Ruxue was still contemplating about winning over Zhao Lin. In the apocalypse, showing some care often helped gain favor significantly.
Moreover, the Nine Deaths Demon Police was still in a state of naive trustfulness.
Lu Chuan nodded and made a portion for Zhao Lin.
But at that moment, Lu Chuan was suddenly alerted.
From the Corpse Puppets patrolling the district, he discovered that someone had sneaked in again overnight.
The Evolver team, eyeing the supplies, had no idea of the terrifying presence residing in the Sunshine District.
Apart from the Evolver on lookout, providing cover fire with a military crossbow, the others climbed into the Sunshine Districtâs yard.
Gangzi and his team were unaware that the moment they climbed in, they were already noticed by Lu Chuan.
Now, hiding in the greenery, they remained undercover, but upon seeing the district teeming with patrol-like zombies, they were terrified.
"What the heck is going on? Is this a zombie stronghold?"
The sight left them speechless with fright.
Watching the swaying figures under the moonlight, Gangzi and his team felt a chill run from their soles straight up their spine.
