[Day 48 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Friday.]

[Huo Sheng and Bai Tianyu came to visit yesterday and left in the evening.]

[Wang Xiong told me that he had already reached an agreement with the official shelter, and he explained the details of the agreement to me, but I only got a rough idea.]

[Because those are all unimportant things.]

[I can be sure that I don’t possess any leadership abilities, nor do I have a big-picture perspective. My abilities are limited, and when it comes to matters of development and construction, I feel that I shouldn’t get involved.]

[There’s only one thing I need to do—farm my attributes and become stronger!]

[Strength gives me a sense of security.]

[Therefore, there’s nothing more important than increasing my strength.]

[This afternoon, Wang Xiong left with Li Zitong, Zhang Lixin, and Zhao

Honglei. I heard that he went out to clear the zombies.]

[Zhang Chengcheng told me that from today onwards, the official shelter and our side are prepared to mobilize manpower to eliminate all the zombies within the safe zone.]

[It’s quite a massive project, but I won’t get involved.]

[Today’s attribute record:]

Name: Lu Ming

Strength: 92.4

Physique: 93.1

Agility: 113.7

Free Attribute Points: 3

Fitness Lvi3 (700/1300)

Slingshot Lv21 (1345/2100)

Crossbow Shooting Lvi5 (312/1500)

Archery Lvi5 (788/1500)

Gun Shooting Lv5 (45/500)

Unarmed Combat Lv20 (362/2000).

Cold Weapon Combat Lvli (488/1100)

Basic Spearmanship Lv6 (34/600)

Throw Lv6 (152/600)

Resistance Stance Lv2 (37/200)]

[It’s worth mentioning that although the Resistance Stance gives a considerable number of attribute points, it is relatively challenging to practice, and progress is a bit slow… but there’s nothing I can do about it.]

[I haven’t figured out how to use the 3 free attribute points I accumulated, so I’ll keep them for now.]

[Apocalypse Calendar, 49th day, Saturday.”

[Today, I learned from Zhao Yongchun the ultimate move of the Zhao Family’s Spear—Cold Light.]

[The Cold Light is a special technique that uses the power generated from the Resistance Stance to thrust the spear, significantly increasing the speed and power of the attack.]

[I’m already proficient in the Resistance Stance. Because of this, I grasped the Cold Light technique very quickly. About half an hour later, I mastered Cold Light’s force delivery technique. Zhao Yongchun was amazed and said that I was a genius.]

[But, I know that I’m not a genius. Other than the system’s help, the key to my progress lies in persistent perseverance and rigorous training, akin to that of an ascetic monk!]

[Of course, I don’t find it to be a hardship. The feeling of becoming stronger every day makes me happy.]

[By the way, the system did not record the Cold Light skill. Perhaps, from the system’s perspective, Zhao’s family spear skill—Cold Light—is not considered a skill, but rather an advanced technique combining spear technique and the Resistance Stance.]

[But the good news is that practicing the Cold Light can quickly increase the proficiency of the basic spearmanship and the Resistance Stance—yesterday, I said that it was difficult to practice the Resistance Stance, but today, I found a solution.]

[It’s all thanks to me!]

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

[Day 50 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Sunday.]

[The days sometimes feel slow and sometimes fast, but every day is so fulfilling! ]

[Today, I leveled up without any incidents.]

[The Fitness skill has been upgraded again, reaching Level 14 (88/1400).]

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

“Day 51 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Monday.”

“Today was uneventful as well.”

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

[Day 52 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Tuesday.]

[I was on a whim today, and I asked Zhang Lixin for a sniper rifle.]

[In the afternoon, I stood on the observation deck which was raised to 70 meters again, and shot at the zombies.]

[I’ve always firmly believed that every zombie I kill now means eliminating a future tyrant! The fewer zombies, the better! The fewer of these things, the safer I’ll be!]

[Not to mention that it allows me to increase my proficiency in firearms shooting—it’s killing two birds with one stone!]

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

[Day 53 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Wednesday.]

[Day 55 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Friday.]

[Day 58 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Monday.]

A week later.

Day 65 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Monday.

In the afternoon, after lunch break, Lu Ming opened his attribute panel.

The attributes on it had already changed drastically since 17 days ago.

Name: Lu Ming

Strength: 171.7

Physique: 172.4

Agility: 203.4

Free Attribute Points: 45

Fitness Lvi7 (1100/1700)

Slingshot Lv24 (888/2400)

Crossbow Shooting Lvl8 (321/1800)

Archery Lvi9 (621/1900)

Gun Shooting Lvi7 (510/100)

Unarmed Combat Lv24 (65/2400)

Basic Spearmanship Lv20 (1135/2000)

Throw Lvio (515/1000)

Resistance Stance Lv9 (0/900)

He got out of bed and went to the mirror.

A humanoid figure nearly two meters tall appeared in the mirror.

Lu Ming was not wearing pajamas because the original pajamas were already too small to fit his body.

He was only wearing shorts.

Looking at the mirror, he saw that the person in the mirror was two meters tall, with muscles that were entangled like old tree roots covering the surface of his body, like a firm bronze armor.

His facial features were sculpted and resolute, masculine yet gentle.

After gazing at himself in the mirror for a long time, Lu Ming grinned and said, “Great, full of strength!”

The sudden increase in height and strong muscles meant combat strength!

In Lu Ming’s perspective, combat strength could be equated with beauty.

As Lu Ming dressed, he pondered another challenging problem…

Zhang Chengcheng’s Gravity superpower could not keep up with Lu Ming’s progress.

Regarding this matter, Lu Ming had already discussed it with Zhang Chengcheng, Wang Xiong, and the others yesterday.

For a Level 3 Awakened to advance further, they needed Tier 3 Corpse Crystals—specifically, the Corpse Crystals of the Tyrant.

However, during this period of time, they did not encounter many Tyrants here or in the official shelter. They encountered only five of them and killed two, obtaining two Level 3 zombie crystals.

Even with the reserves, it was still not enough for Zhang Chengcheng to advance to a Level 4 Awakened.

The situation was stuck in a stalemate.

Wang Xiong said that he had already talked to Huo Sheng. During this period of time, everyone would prioritize hunting Tyrants and collecting Level 3 zombie crystals.

Lu Ming could only express his gratitude and quietly wait.

As soon as he walked out of the house, many voices reached his ears.

“Brother Lu.”

“Hello, Brother Lu!”

“Brother Lu!

As people passed by outside the door and saw Lu Ming, they all smiled and greeted him.

During this period of time, Lu Ming had also become accustomed to such a scene. After politely nodding and responding with a smile, he stepped forward and arrived in front of the nearby observation tower.

After more than 10 days of expansion, the observation tower had reached a height of 150 meters. Lu Ming tried it and found that even when free-falling from this height, he could land without injury, which gave him the confidence to climb to the top of the tower.

There was a ladder on the tower. Lu Ming took a big leap and quickly climbed to the height of 150 meters, standing at the top of the tower, gazing into the distance with an unobstructed view..
