CHAPTER 39: CHAPTER 39: COULD ZOMBIE DAD NOT BE AN ORDINARY ZOMBIE?

Lu Chuan did consider leaving some of the mutant giant dog’s meat to make a meat porridge for Little Qiqi.

After all, in this post-apocalyptic world, just drinking milk powder and eating rice cereal would always be lacking in nutrition.

But Lu Chuan really didn’t dare to take the risk with the flesh of the already mutated giant dog, as humans might not be able to consume it.

If the little guy ingests it and gets infected with some virus, that would be terrible...

Whether the meat of these mutant creatures can be consumed needs to be determined later, after some verification and consideration.

"After that blood moon night, humans, zombies, and these surviving creatures must have undergone some kind of mutant evolution."

"If humans can eat the meat of these mutant creatures, then the little guy’s future diet will be much richer than it is now!"

Lu Chuan still thought it was safer to feed this meat to the zombies, since nobody really knows what might exist within the bodies of mutated creatures.

Anyway, he’ll still encounter more mutated creatures in the future, and if their meat truly is edible, there will be plenty of chances in the future, so it wouldn’t matter to miss this one.

Ji Ruxue, in the living room, didn’t know that Lu Chuan was out with the Corpse Team, killing fiercely. She sat cross-legged on the sofa, meditating and cultivating.

You could see Ji Ruxue’s body trembling slightly, because her current body was still too weak.

With the Glazed Breathing Technique running, a large amount of Energy Factor in the air rapidly rushed into her body, continuously improving Ji Ruxue’s physical strength, while enhancing her telekinesis.

A moment later, the aura emanating from Ji Ruxue suddenly surged!

"Great, after so long of cultivating, I’ve finally broken through to level two!"

Ji Ruxue suddenly opened her eyes, those black and white eyes were completely different from the zombies of the post-apocalypse, appearing very bright in the dim living room.

At this moment, Ji Ruxue’s eyes were full of confidence and excitement, because as a baby, breaking through to level two would greatly improve her ability to protect herself.

In Ji Ruxue’s memory, after the initial chaos of the post-apocalypse, everyone began to live a life of mutant evolution.

Also, human survivors categorized humans, zombies, and fierce beasts into nine levels based on their strength.

Level one being the weakest, and nine being the strongest, symbolizing the utmost strength.

Level seven was the king, level eight was the emperor, and level nine was the most powerful Emperor Level existence!

In her previous life, Ji Ruxue had fought her way through in the post-apocalypse, constantly struggling, eventually breaking through to become an Unparalleled Empress!

After the strange blood moon, those who gained evolutionary abilities through mutations were considered level one existences.

If zombies and fierce beasts want continuous evolution, they must mutually devour each other’s Crystal Core, converting it into their own energy.

Zombies and fierce beasts, we can say, only have one path of relentless killing for evolution.

In some ways, humans compared to zombies and fierce beasts have relatively less intense competition.

Human survivors, shortly after the arrival of the post-apocalypse, began to develop drugs that could provide evolution.

By the mid-to-late stage of the post-apocalypse, they utilized ancient relics to create cultivation techniques, allowing humans to absorb Energy Factor from the air, continuously improving their physical condition and advancing their realm.

But currently, it is still the initial stage of the post-apocalypse, and cultivation techniques for humans have not yet been researched.

So at this time, humans’ power is relatively weak compared to zombies and mutated creatures who can quickly evolve by devouring Crystal Core.

However, for Ji Ruxue, these limits do not apply to her.

As a powerhouse who cultivated up to the Emperor Realm, Ji Ruxue’s Glazed Technique was top-tier even in the later post-apocalypse.

Although she is still just a baby, Ji Ruxue still managed to step into the second stage of cultivation with the Glazed Breathing Technique.

In Ji Ruxue’s memory, there should be no humans breaking through to level two at this stage.

Swish! Swish!

Along with Ji Ruxue’s thoughts, the two nails that were deeply embedded in the table quickly flew back to Ji Ruxue’s hand.

You could see the flight speed of the nails was faster after the breakthrough.

Moreover, after continuous practice over this time, Ji Ruxue’s control over the nails became increasingly skilled.

Even recalling it with such a fast speed didn’t cause any harm to her tender little hands.

Ji Ruxue nodded in satisfaction, confident in her dual talents. Now, with her Object Manipulation Ability and Time Manipulation, she could completely protect herself in this post-apocalypse, even protect her zombie dad.

Click!

The sound of the door opening emerged, and Ji Ruxue hurriedly hid the nails and with a wave of her small hand, a nearby plush bear flew into Ji Ruxue’s hand.

When Lu Chuan entered, Ji Ruxue pretended to be a typical child, playing with toys.

In a very good mood, Lu Chuan saw the little one looking lively and cute, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

He quickly walked over to Ji Ruxue’s side, picked up a Barbie doll on the side, and started teasing the little one.

Although Lu Chuan’s way of teasing children was quite rough, Ji Ruxue was sensible, pretending to like it very much, giving Lu Chuan plenty of emotional value.

Ji Ruxue sighed helplessly in her heart, just wishing she could grow up quickly...

"Huh? Wait?!"

Distractedly playing along with Lu Chuan, Ji Ruxue suddenly sensed a faint hint of a bloody smell on her zombie dad!

As one who emerged victorious from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, Ji Ruxue was exceptionally keen on that scent.

Taking advantage of Lu Chuan’s inattentiveness, Ji Ruxue carefully observed, and indeed found traces of blood on Lu Chuan’s body.

Though not obvious, it could be confirmed that it was freshly left.

Meanwhile, Ji Ruxue also found a small tuft of hair.

She quietly picked it up, and when Lu Chuan turned and went into the kitchen to cook, Ji Ruxue cautiously brought the hair to her eyes for inspection.

"What kind of hair is this, completely black and a bit hard, and also long and coarse..."

"This is absolutely impossible for humans or zombies to grow, could it be... a mutated fierce beast?!"

Ji Ruxue guessed silently to herself.

Besides the mutated fierce beasts, she really couldn’t figure out what kind of creature would have such hair.

But the problem is, mutated fierce beasts usually have very strong powers; just with her zombie dad who hasn’t evolved, how could he possibly be a match for a mutated fierce beast?

Could it be... Zombie Dad is not an ordinary zombie?!
