Living zombies do have an advantage over humans. From the perspective of the ecological chain, humans are more like food for zombies and potential counterparts.
“In my simulations, if nothing goes wrong, humans will never be able to defeat zombies. In short, our situation is really difficult.”
Meng Jie’s remarks evoked a wave of sighs among the high-ranking members gathered in the Guangping Street gathering place.
After a long silence, everyone looked up at Lu Ming on the second floor, through the window.
If Good Hope Village was an isolated island, then Lu Ming was the lighthouse on this isolated island.
With him around, everyone would not lose their direction and would not feel despair!
Facing everyone’s gazes, Lu Ming said softly, “Stay steady and develop!”
This had always been Lu Ming’s survival guideline, and it had never changed.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in unison.
Wang Xiong: “I think so too. The defense system of the gathering place hasn’t been completed yet, so it’s not wise to go out and take risks.”
Zhang Chengcheng: “And Brother Lu will become stronger and stronger. Although zombies will evolve, I still feel that time is on our side.” Chengcheng had always had full confidence in Lu Ming.
Zhang Lixin said, “There’s enough food for the time being. Once we scavenge the supplies in Good Hope Village, it’ll be enough for us for half a year or a year.”
Meng Jie: “My research is also progressing very smoothly. I think if I can find a way to turn ordinary people into Awakened individuals, once the number of Awakened individuals increases, the situation will change significantly.”
Li Zitong:”…” Sorry, I feel like an outsider.
With the regulations set, everyone performed their respective duties.
For Lu Ming, the days had once again entered the rhythm that he was most familiar with.
Exercise, farming attributes.
There was nothing more important than this.
[The 33rd day of the Apocalypse Calendar, Thursday.]
[Exercise in the morning and crossbow arrow shooting in the afternoon.]
[Nothing else happened.]
[Today’s attribute record:]
Name: Lu Ming
Strength: 61.4
Physique: 62.1
Agility: 54-8
Fitness Lv9 (830/900).
Hand-to-hand combat Lvi9 (1025/1900)
Crossbow Shooting Lv5 (105/500)
[The 34th day of the Apocalypse Calendar, Friday.]
[Nothing happened.]
[Today, my hand-to-hand combat skill leveled up to Level 20.1 realized that this skill has reached a plateau. It’s difficult to obtain proficiency even when practicing with Wang Xiong.]
[Wang Xiong told me that with the same physical fitness, my combat skills are no longer inferior to his. There’s nothing more he can teach me.]
[He also said that he’s never seen anyone as gifted in mixed martial arts as I am, in his entire life.]
[Today’s attribute record: (omitted)…]
[The 35th day of the Apocalypse Calendar, Saturday.]
[Nothing happened today, but the gathering place is becoming more and more presentable.]
[Wang Xiong and the others have built a wall, and the original zombie attack array was removed. They also erected an observation tower next to my house, which is over 20 meters tall!]
[According to Zhang Lixin, this observation tower can allow me to rain fatal blows upon the zombies from an elevated position. I tried it, the observation tower is not bad, but the height worries me. Moreover, it’s poorly constructed and it doesn’t look very sturdy.]
[I mentioned this to Zhang Lixin, and he said that they would reinforce it immediately. As for the height issue, he reminded me that I would be fine if I fell from this height. I don’t believe it.]
[Wang Xiong immediately went up and performed a trapeze… He was fine.]
[I also gave it a try… It proved that my worries were unnecessary. This height won’t harm me if I fall. So I think we can increase the height of the observation tower. Being higher up allows for better visibility and longer-range attacks. There is no problem.]
[Today’s attribute record: (omitted)…]
[The 36th day of the Apocalypse Calendar, Sunday.]
[Today, Li Zitong was promoted to a Level 2 Awakened. His awakened superpower is called Earth Manipulation.]
[To put it bluntly, he can control sand, stones, and soil. It’s beneficial to infrastructure and farming. It’s not particularly effective in combat.]
[However, unlike the last time, Li Zitong’s advancement today attracted a zombie wave. Eight hunters led the team, and there were more than 30 giant zombies… The safety of the gathering place underwent a test, and overall, it seemed to hold up well.]
[Oh, by the way, the observation tower is really useful, incredibly useful! We need to increase its height, up to 40 meters!]
[Today’s attribute record: (omitted)…]
[The 30th day of the Apocalypse Calendar, Monday.]
“Omitted.
[The 38th day of the Apocalypse Calendar, Tuesday.]
[The 39th day of the Apocalypse Calendar, Wednesday.]
[The 40th day of the Apocalypse Calendar…]
[The 41st day…]
[The 42nd day…]
[The 43rd day…]
[Today, my agility attribute has officially broken through the 100 mark]
[I’ve become stronger.]
[However, as I became stronger, my appetite has become increasingly astonishing. I ate more than everyone else in the gathering place combined! Moreover, there’s a shortage of protein.]
[At the same time, Zhang Chengcheng’s gravity superpower can no longer keep up with my training intensity.]
[Zhang Chengcheng wants to advance to Level 3 Awakened. There are enough zombie crystals, but the problem is the zombie tide triggered by the advancement.]
[This made me conflicted for a while and I felt that it’s necessary to give it a try.]
The 44th day of the Apocalypse Calendar, Monday.

After waking up from the afternoon nap, Lu Ming checked his attributes panel and realized that his attributes had transformed into their current state.
His body contained immense strength.
Even Lu Ming’s physique had undergone significant changes.
His height had increased from 1.8 meters to 1.9 meters. When he weighed himself yesterday, his weight had already reached 300 catties!
Overall, his figure didn’t look bulky, but he was not lean like Wang Xiong.
He appeared somewhat slimmer than a bodybuilder, but there were limits to his slenderness.
With a light fist clench, power surged from his fingertips.
Just as the doorbell rang, Lu Ming went downstairs and turned on the electronic screen, only to see Zhang Chengcheng standing there.
Brother Lu, I’m preparing to advance.
Yes, I’m coming.”
Lu Ming unlocked the door and walked out.
Today was the day Zhang Chengcheng advanced.
Lu Ming was very concerned about this.
This was because the Gravity Manipulation was very important to Lu Ming. With his current physical strength, fitness equipment and the like were no longer effective. He could only rely on the Gravity Manipulation.
At the entrance of Lu Ming’s house, Zhang Chengcheng was already holding 10 second-tier Corpse Crystals, fully prepared for the promotion.s
Under Lu Ming’s encouraging gaze, Zhang Chengcheng took a deep breath, preparing to swallow the Corpse Crystal.
Unexpectedly, they heard the sound of bells coming from the watchtower.
After more than 10 days of development, the gathering place had mostly been built, and the watchtower was deemed necessary.
The ringing of the bells at this moment indicated that something was happening, At this moment, the bell rang, which meant that something had happened. But it rang only once, suggesting that it was not a big problem.
Zhang Chengcheng temporarily halted her actions and looked at Lu Ming.
He realized that Lu Ming had agilely climbed up his observation tower and was looking into the distance from a high vantage point.
In the distance, at the entrance of Good Hope Village.
A burly middle-aged man carrying a long spear was walking through the streets toward Good Hope Village.
Strangely, the zombies along the way showed no reaction to the man at all, as if the man was one of them..
