Kapitel 24: Another Safe Zone
Redakteur: Atlas Studios
"Day 12 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Thursday, Rest Day."
"Nothing happened today."
"Wang Xiong still came to harass me today. He brought back four more survivors. I don't remember their names, and it doesn't matter."
"But there's something worth paying attention to."
"Wang Xiong went out today and was attacked by a huge zombie."
"Compared to coincidence, I'm more inclined to believe that the number of giant zombies is increasing as time passes."
"The apocalypse is getting more and more dangerous."
"Physical status record on the twelfth day of the Apocalypse Calendar."
"Pass…"
...
"Day 13 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Friday, Chest Practicing Day."
"Nothing happened today."
"In the afternoon, Wang Xiong came again. He told me something."
"He said that there are other survivors in Good Hope Village, and there are many of them. Today, he went out and brought back a survivor, but he saw signs of living people in the village. From the traces, there were many of them. Wang Xiong is going to follow the traces tomorrow and investigate."
"I actually don't quite understand why Wang Xiong is so obsessed with saving people. But since that's what he wants and he doesn't need my help, he can do whatever he wants."
"Physical status record on the 13th day of the Apocalypse Calendar."
"Pass…"
...
Day 14 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Saturday, Back-Training Day.
"Nothing happened today."
"Wang Xiong didn't come today."
"The good news is that I've leveled up my slingshot shooting to Level 10. The bad news is that with Level 10 slingshot shooting, I can no longer gain proficiency by shooting at targets."
In a sense, I've already maxed out my slingshot shooting skills… Next, I will focus on improving my proficiency in archery.
But thinking about it, if I just shoot at target, my archery skill can only reach Level 10. If I want to raise my skill level, I need to find some live corpses as targets. Unfortunately, Wang Xiong hasn't attracted any monsters recently, and it's not safe to go out…"
"Physical status record on the 13th day of the Apocalypse Calendar."
"Pass…"
...
"Day 15 of the Apocalypse Calendar…"
...
"Day 16 of the Doomsday Calendar…"
...
Day 17 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Tuesday, Back-Training Day.
11 noon.
While making lunch, Lu Ming opened the attribute panel.
Name: Lu Ming.
Age: 25 years old.
Strength: 26.7
Physique: 27.2
Agility: 26.4
Fitness Lv4 (150/400): Maximum attribute points obtained every day increased by 0.4 point.
Slingshot Lv10 (0/1000).
Crossbow Shooting Lv2 (5/200).
Archery Lv7 (55/700)
Hand-to-hand combat Lv8 (523/800).
Cold Weapon Combat Lv10 (0/1000).
After nearly a week, Lu Ming's attributes and skills had changed drastically.
At the same time, his fitness skill had reached Level 4. The basic attributes that Lu Ming could obtain every day had reached 0.9 point.
His cold weapon combat skills had also increased to Level 10.
Holding a dagger, a fire ax, a bat and other cold weapons, Lu Ming felt like he was commanding with ease as he wished.
Unfortunately, like slingshot shooting, after reaching Level 10, Lu Ming could no longer obtain skill proficiency with empty swings.
This meant that if Lu Ming wanted to increase the level of his cold weapon combat skills, he had to either find a living person to spar with or carry a bat and ax to kill a zombie.
This was very annoying…
Soon, lunch was ready.
Rice, chicken breast, dried vegetables.
While eating, Lu Ming was watching videos when he suddenly thought of Wang Xiong.
Wang Xiong had not come to look for him for two days.
...
At this moment, Wang Xiong was at the other end of Good Hope Village.
Over the past few days, Wang Xiong had been carefully exploring Good Hope Village, wanting to find and gather more survivors.
A few days ago, he discovered traces of a large number of living people. Following the traces, Wang Xiong crossed the village and finally made a major discovery at noon today.
In front of Wang Xiong was a large courtyard.
The large courtyard was made up of three five-story low buildings. On the empty side was a large iron gate and a wall around it.
The wall was three meters high. Wang Xiong could still see a crudely-built observation deck inside the wall. Someone was on the lookout.
Nanxiang City was located in the south. In the past few decades, when the country was not developing well, there were many clans here.
As society progressed and the economy developed, the concept of clans has gradually been replaced by something new. However, it was undeniable that in many places, there still existed clan relationships based on blood ties.
Large extended families living together, providing warmth and mutual assistance, have strong cohesion.
And the house in front of Wang Xiong was the ancestral home of the Zhang family in the Good Hope Village.
The Zhang family was also quite well-known in Good Hope Village.
This large family consisted of nearly a hundred people. Although they did not have their own ancestral laws and rules like in ancient times, their cohesion was still quite good.
Every New Year, more than a hundred people gather together. It was a sight to behold in the village.
He observed for a long time.
In the end, Wang Xiong could not suppress his curiosity.
He walked over to the Zhang residence.
Before Wang Xiong could approach the door, he heard a voice from the observation deck behind the wall.
"Someone is approaching! It's a living person!"
After Wang Xiong stopped, he saw the small window on the iron gate open and a pair of eyes peeping out.
These eyes were like searchlights as they scanned Wang Xiong.
When he saw the scar on Wang Xiong's neck from the bite of a zombie, the person behind the door was silent for a moment.
A muffled voice sounded. "An Awakened?"
Wang Xiong was silent for a moment before nodding. "Yes."
"Creak~~"
The big iron door opened.
A tall, burly middle-aged man waved at Wang Xiong.
"Come in quickly."
...
After walking into the Zhang residence, Wang Xiong saw more.
A pile of supplies like a small mountain—this was piled in the courtyard. There was no telling how many resources had been hidden there.
There were women, children, and men carrying bows or machetes in the courtyard.
The atmosphere was a little tense, but considering that it was the apocalypse, there was nothing strange about it.
Before Wang Xiong could observe further, the middle-aged man beside him spoke.
"My name is Jang Ye. I'm the leader here."
"What about you, little brother?"
"My name is Wang Xiong."
"Yes. So are you here to take a look, or do you want to find a safe shelter?"
These words made Wang Xiong hesitate for a moment.
Before he could respond, Zhang Ye said, "If you just want to take a look, I'll bring you around. If you want to join us, we'll welcome you with open arms. After all, Awakened ones can be a lot of help here."
"Brother Zhang, you also know about Awakened ones?"
"Yes, I am one. Besides me, we have two other Awakened ones here. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to guard this territory."
Hearing this, Wang Xiong raised his eyebrows.
There were actually three Awakened here!
This was not a small number.
The door behind him opened again.
A group of people hurried in.
The person in the lead was a woman who was about 25 years old. She carried a bow and arrow valiantly. As soon as she saw Zhang Ye, she immediately walked over.
"Brother, we brought back seven more survivors."
Zhang Ye nodded in acknowledgment and immediately said, "Take good care of them."
