Chapter 45: Breaking Through 50!

They had a good lunch.

After his afternoon nap, Wang Xiong came to his door and said that he and Zhang Chengcheng were going out to find some food to reduce the pressure on Lu Ming’s supplies and hunt giant zombies to obtain zombie crystals.

Food was a good thing, and so were zombie crystals.

Lu Ming expressed that they could go without worry. With him watching over this side, there would be no problems.

After Wang Xiong and Zhang Chengcheng left, Lu Ming opened the window on the second floor. As he shot arrows at the target, he scanned the streets from the corner of his eye like a ferocious tiger patrolling its territory.

Since the last zombie wave, sporadic zombies and even giant zombies had appeared on the streets, but they were either killed by Wang Xiong or shot by Lu Ming.

This caused the number of zombies near this street to decrease. Now, the survivors in the gathering place, even if they made a little more noise, would not easily attract the zombies.

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Lu Ming hoped to encounter some scattered zombies, which would be good help for Lu Ming to train his skills.

However, there really did not seem to be any zombies nearby.

Even Wang Xiong and Zhang Chengcheng had not encountered a situation of being surrounded by a zombie wave recently.

It was another afternoon without zombies.

In the evening, Wang Xiong and Zhang Chengcheng returned, announcing that the peaceful day was coming to an end.

[24th day of the Apocalypse Calendar, Tuesday.]

[Today is the second day of my training exercise under Wang Xiong.]

[I have to admit that having someone to take care of the fitness and not having someone to take care of it are two completely different concepts.]

[Not only did Wang Xiong provide me with professional sports guidance, but he also taught me the key techniques of mixed martial arts and my close combat experience.]

[This morning’s exercise was fulfilling and interesting. In addition to the gains in basic attributes and fitness skill proficiency, the experience points of unarmed combat are also increasing rapidly.]

[I have to give Wang Xiong a thumbs up.]

[Zhang Chengcheng came to see me at dinner today.]

[She told me that she and Wang Xiong went to the Zhang family’s gathering place in the afternoon.]

[The Zhang family’s gathering place hasn’t changed much. There are still so many zombies piled in the courtyard.]

[And the cellar where the food was stored is in the courtyard. There’s no sign of it being opened, which means that the food inside should still be intact.]

[According to the original plan, we should have set off in a week to clean up the zombies in the Zhang family’s gathering place and retrieve the food.]

[But after Wang Xiong confirmed that there were no hunters, the two of them took the lead.]

[The pitiful zombies were swept away—Zhang Chengcheng was the main force.

A gravitational field went down and corpses were everywhere…]

[Her superpower is really terrifying. She can even suppress me to Wang Xiong’s level. It’s obvious how terrifying she is.]

[But that’s not the point. The point is that I don’t seem to have to go out anymore… I wonder if this is something to celebrate.]

[I thought this matter would end here, but I didn’t expect Zhang Chengcheng to say that there are a lot of supplies in the gathering place over there. It’s too time-consuming and labor-intensive to transport them manually.]

[They plan to go to the village entrance first to retrieve the military vehicles and weapons left behind by the army before considering retrieving the supplies.]

[When the time comes, I might have to do it myself.]

[It’s a reasonable choice.]

[Today’s attribute record: (omitted)…]

[25th day of the Apocalypse Calendar, Wednesday.]

[After the exercise this morning, Wang Xiong went to the village entrance himself.]

[During this period, Wang Xiong brought the zombies back twice and was shot by me. It could be considered as opening the passageway between home and the village entrance.]

[After lunch break, Wang Xiong brought Zhang Lixin and the other three men to drive back the military vehicle.]

[The sound of the car moving attracted some zombies—but not many. I killed them one by one with my bow and arrow.]

[I have to say that bows and arrows are indeed not as useful as slingshots… But in order to farm skills and attributes, I still have to find time to use them.]

[Today’s attribute record:]

[Name: Lu Ming

Age: 25 years old

Strength: 39.6

Physique: 40.1

Throw Lv2 (26/200)]

[26th day of the Apocalypse Calendar, Thursday.]

[Morning exercise.]

[In the afternoon, I stood at the window and chatted with Wang Xiong, Zhang Lixin, and the others.]

[I think military vehicles are very important. In the future, when we travel and collect supplies, we have to rely on these four military vehicles. I think the armor of the military vehicles needs to be thickened, the sound of the engines needs to be lowered, and some shooting holes need to be made.]

[Wang Xiong and Bro Soldier also think that what I said makes sense. It’s not urgent to transport supplies. If you want to do a good job, you have to sharpen your tools first.]

[Bro Soldier will take the lead, and Wang Xiong will be the assistant. The two of them are preparing to modify a reliable military vehicle first.]

[What’s worth mentioning is that Bro Soldier gave me a rifle today, the kind with a silencer! It’s just that there aren’t many bullets and there’s no replenishment. I have to use it sparingly. I tried it and successfully activated the skill Firearm Shooting Lvi.]

[Firearm Shooting Lvi (0/100): You have mastered the initial shooting technique of the Firearm. Agility increased by 0.1 point.]

[But I don’t think guns are as useful as slingshots…]

[Today’s attribute record: (omitted)…]

[27th day of the Apocalypse Calendar, Friday.]

[Morning exercise.]

[Nothing to do in the afternoon.]

[Today’s attribute record: (omitted)…]

[Day 28 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Saturday.]

[Morning exercise.]

[In the afternoon, Bro Soldier and Wang Xiong modified a car. Today, I went out for a rare trip and tried the shooting position of the military car—it feels pretty good.]

[The modified shooting position is above the back seat of the car. Standing in the back seat, you can extend your upper body out of the car and start shooting. If you encounter any danger, you can also retreat into the car in time.]

[With this car, I feel that the risk of going out can be reduced by about 1%.]

[Oh, right, there’s one more thing. I don’t have enough ammunition on hand, so I asked Bro Soldier to help me make some arrows, pellets, and discus for throwing. They readily agreed—to the Bro Soldier who can make hunter slingshots, making ammunition is really just a small matter.]

[Today’s attribute record: (omitted)…]

[Day 29 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Sunday.]

[Morning exercise.]

[In the afternoon, Bro Soldier sent over the prepared ammunition. 300 pellets, 30 arrows and crossbow bolts each, and some discuses.]

[But strangely, his face was a little red… he himself said that he was not feeling well.]

[At night, Zhang Chengcheng came and said that Bro Soldier fell ill with a fever. I brought him some fever medicine, but I don’t know if it will work.]

[I pray that Bro Soldier is fine. Because he is a good person.]

[Today’s attribute record:]

[Name: Lu Ming

Age: 25 years old

Strength: 50.4

Physique: 51.1

Agility: 48

Fitness Lv8 (700/800)

Others: omitted.]

[Strength and stamina exceed 50!]

[This is a milestone breakthrough!]

[I feel like I’m full of power!]
