Inside Qingshui Farm.
A burst of laughter echoes through the tranquil farm at this moment.
In the small amusement park built by Lu Chuan, Ji Ruxue is having a blast.
She goes from riding the carousel to the roller coaster, and every now and then heads over to the trampoline for some fun.
Originally, Ji Ruxue didnât care much for these amusement facilities, after all, she feels sheâs already lived a new life and is past the age of enjoying amusement parks.
She always believed her mind was very mature, and she couldnât possibly enjoy facilities meant for children.
She initially tried them out just to make her father happy, but unexpectedly, once she started trying, she found herself addicted to it!
Ji Ruxue never imagined that she, once an empress in a past life, would find herself having so much fun with these amusement rides.
Perhaps itâs because she lacked a carefree childhood in her past life, or maybe itâs her biological hormones as a child that have affected her emotions, awakening the childlike heart of Ji Ruxue.
She thought she wouldnât be interested, but now she can only say, "Itâs delightful!"
As an orphan in her past life, she didnât have the conditions to play in amusement parks when young, and when she grew up and earned money, she felt her age was a bit inappropriate to let herself go.
So until now, Ji Ruxue never experienced the joy of playing so freely and happily.
She threw all worries and troubles behind, only wanting to enjoy the current happiness.
Ji Ruxue seems intent on making up for all regrets she had in her past life, here and now.
Meanwhile, Lu Chuan is controlling the Corpse Puppet, continuing to search for traces of Evolved Zombies in the Jiangnan City District.
Though life currently seems very peaceful and stable, Lu Chuan knows that without strong power, this peace is merely fleeting.
Lu Chuan commands ordinary Corpse Puppet squads to constantly search for traces of Evolved Zombies, as ordinary Corpse Puppets arenât Evolved Zombies, they wonât alert those Evolved Zombies.
The tier-two âTyrant Oneâ is like a Grim Reaper wielding a scythe, leaving no Evolved Zombie able to escape his slaughter.
The horrifying claws are a nightmare for Evolved Zombies in the Jiangnan City District.
Even Lu Chuan has lost count of the number of low-tier zombies he has killed during this period to collect Crystal Cores using the Tyrant Zombie.
This tier-two Tyrant Zombie, due to excessive killing, is covered with dark red blood, exuding a lethal aura.
Many survivors in the Jiangnan City District heard the wails of Evolved Zombies and the sound of them collapsing, drawing considerable survivor attention.
These survivors in the district have no idea what happened, they only know that many Evolved Zombies have been hunted.
This is a hugely positive development for the struggling survivors.
The fewer zombies there are, the less of a threat they pose to everyone.
Especially Evolved Zombies, which are a complete catastrophe for most survivors.
Yet survivors were also terrified to find resources fading away, becoming extremely hard to find.
Over several days, Lu Chuanâs harvest was quite good, collecting a sizable amount of tier-one zombie Crystal Cores through searching.
By feeding these tier-one zombie Crystal Cores, Lu Chuanâs Corpse Puppets have achieved significant improvements in their capabilities compared to before.
Among Lu Chuanâs current Evolved Corpse Puppets, aside from âEr Pangâ the tier-three zombie, all other Corpse Puppets have broken through to tier-two, substantially enhancing the combat effectiveness compared to before!
Through experiments during this period, Lu Chuan found this method of feeding Crystal Cores to Corpse Puppets very effective, far quicker than searching for high-tier zombies to enhance their strength.
Moreover, Lu Chuan not only acquired a lot of tier-one Evolved Zombie Crystal Cores but also found a tier-two Tyrant Zombie, which he successfully brought under control.
With the addition of the âTyrant Twoâ, the strength of the Corpse Puppet army has further increased.
Watching the increasingly powerful troops, Lu Chuan himself is growing more confident.
Concurrently, Lu Chuan has gathered a large amount of resources during this time, especially gasoline and diesel.
Regardless of whether itâs the farmâs generator or his transport truck, all rely heavily on these energy resources.
Fortunately, lots of vehicles have stalled in the streets post-apocalypse, perfect for Lu Chuan to collect plenty of gasoline.
After collecting various resources, Lu Chuan controls âLightning Oneâ to drive the truck and prepare to return to Qingshui Farm.
Boom!
Suddenly, a massive fireball slams violently into the truck.
Before Lu Chuan can respond, another fireball follows.
This series of attacks truly catches Lu Chuan off guard, particularly the manner of these attacks completely exceeds his expectations.
Lu Chuan never imagined that while driving peacefully down the street, a huge fireball would suddenly emerge!
During this time, Lu Chuan, wielding Lightning One, has wandered in Jiangnan City District and faced assaults from human survivors or zombies.
However, heâs never encountered this kind of attack before.
Amid these continuous attacks, Lu Chuan can only command âLightning Oneâ to swiftly push open the truck door and leap out to dodge these strong attacks.
Bang!
The massive fireball blasts into the truck, causing it to roar, burning fiercely now, and the surrounding intense heat makes Lu Chuan furrow his brow.
Such sudden flaming attacks really caught him off guard.
By manipulating âLightning Oneâ, with its high speed and agility as a tier-two Agile Zombie, he remains unharmed amidst this assault.
Extremely vigilant, scanning his surroundings, Lu Chuan quickly spots a strange figure not far in Lightning Oneâs sight.
Upon seeing this figureâs appearance, Lu Chuan is stunned.
It turns out to be a zombie with entirely red skin, its bizarre appearance rather striking!
Itâs Lu Chuanâs first time seeing such an unusually malformed zombie, uglier than common zombies.
The creature is staring intently this way, and remarkably, spewing flames from its mouth.
Clearly, the large fireball that suddenly attacked the truck earlier was the work of this red-skinned zombie.
Zombies that breathe fire?
For a moment, Lu Chuan finds himself completely bewildered.
With time passing, he never expected zombies to evolve into such strange species!
