He slept in the room until after 10 p.m., tidied himself up, and went out dressed in all black. The sound of the door closing made Steve and his family next door unhappy.
"Roar!" "Hehe!" Lin Xuan quickly put her hands together and bowed to her neighbor's door.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I disturbed you..."
Go down the emergency exit; most of the people who had once hidden here have now turned into zombies.
Some of them lay on the stairs, struggling in vain while growling softly, while others stood in the stairwell, wandering aimlessly.
Lin Xuan did not kill the zombies; they were temporarily her family's protective shield, and she didn't want anyone to know there were no zombies in the building and sneak in to search for supplies.
In her past life, she stayed in this building until her brother came back to find her, and she was not discovered by the survivors outside who were collecting supplies.
It's probably blocked by the zombies in the stairwell. These zombies can be dealt with in about ten days when his brother comes back.
Not daring to stray too far from home, and without activating the Invisibility Vine, she walked uphill into the residential area. She didn't quite remember what was in this area, so she took this opportunity to explore it a bit.
This area is full of newly built residential buildings, and many of the public buildings on both sides of the road are empty. Only one car repair shop, one hardware store and one bakery are open.
Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be no survivors in the public buildings; instead, they were poking at the zombies one by one along the street.
She's trying to figure out how to stab two zombies at once, but hasn't been very successful yet.
Concentrating on controlling one vine is manageable, but if you try to control two at once, you'll lose focus and won't be able to kill the zombie.
Eat one bite at a time, take it slow. Continue poking at the zombies one by one. Lin Xuan passed by a car repair shop, where there were many tires, tools and vehicle parts scattered around. She picked up some of them and then went to the hardware store next door.
The hardware store wasn't damaged much because it was newly opened and very clean and tidy.
Lin Xuan also found small hoes, small shovels, large garden shears, and a machete in the store—tools that can be used as weapons or for farming.
He picked and chose some, leaving some for the other survivors.
Just as Lin Xuan finished putting away the tools, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
She turned around abruptly and saw a rooster, over two meters tall, staring intently at her with two blood-red eyes that bulged out like light bulbs.
It scared her so much she almost threw up her heart.
This is a mutated rooster.
It was enormous, with its eyes bulging out of their sockets, its beak stretched wide open, filled with sharp teeth, and several blood-red growths on its comb. Its wings were flapping, and the feathers at the tips of its wings gleamed with a metallic sheen.
Two feet with sharp claws were slowly pawing the ground, a posture of preparing to attack.
Lin Xuan was still in the position of turning her head to see if the chicken would turn around.
In the five years since the apocalypse, she has never once faced a mutated animal alone.
She serves as a mobile warehouse in the squad, a logistics position. In the event of combat, Xia Feng will be the first to clear away any dangers around her.
If all else fails, she can hide in her spatial dimension. But now that she has superpowers, this is an opportunity. Should she go all out and fight?
While she was quickly calculating in her mind, before she could finish her thought, the mutated rooster suddenly let out a sharp screech and plunged headfirst into the hardware store where Lin Xuan was.
The invisible vines quickly emerged from Lin Xuan's fingers and the skin on the back of her neck, piercing the ground and using the inertia of their elongation to push her backward.
At this moment, Lin Xuan didn't have time to think; she acted entirely on instinct.
The mutated rooster's enormous beak shattered the hardware store's shelves.
It shook its head, and the huge fleshy growth on its head trembled as if it might burst at any moment.
The shop was not very spacious, which restricted the rooster's movement, forcing it to stretch its neck to reach Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan dodged nimbly, poking holes in the mutated rooster with vines as she did so.
She never imagined she could have such skills. Her awakened superpower completely transformed her body, making her fast and powerful. Now her strength has surpassed that of ordinary people in every way.
In the blink of an eye, several bloody holes appeared on the mutated rooster's body, and black and red chicken blood splattered everywhere.
It also gave Lin Xuan a thorough bloodbath. It was already enraged, spread its wings, and scraped long gashes in the walls on both sides, exposing the steel bars inside.
Suddenly, the rooster's body began to tremble violently, its feathers stood on end, and sharp feathers rained down on Lin Xuan.
There was nowhere to hide in the cramped space. The invisibility vines quickly wrapped around his body, forming a net-like shield. The feather blades that hit it were deflected and flew all over the shop, making a clanging sound.
The mutated rooster was instead slashed all over by the feather blades that bounced back, and its shrill screams made Lin Xuan's ears ache.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Xuan parted the vine net to create a gap, and a vine pierced straight into the rooster's open mouth, penetrating its internal organs.
The mutated rooster was in excruciating pain, but it could no longer make a sound. It struggled for a long time before finally collapsing in despair.
The vine slowly withdrew from the chicken's body, trembled a few times in the air, shaking off the chicken blood on its stem, and then shrank back into Lin Xuan's body.
Lin Xuan slumped against the corner, panting heavily. She was both exhausted and excited. She, Lin, had finally made her move and stood up for herself. She had managed to kill a mutated chicken all by herself. If the world hadn't turned out this way, she could have boasted about it for the rest of her life.
He wiped the chicken blood off his face and put his spoils into his spatial storage.
That's when I realized why there was a rooster in the city. But this area isn't exactly the city proper; it's a semi-urban area, so it makes sense that some people raise chickens here.
She remained invisible the entire way back. After all the commotion she and the chicken had caused, it was hard to guarantee she wouldn't attract attention. It was best to keep a low profile for safety.
Back home, I quickly went into my virtual space to change clothes, take a shower, and eat something. Even as I lay on the sofa in my pajamas, my heart was still pounding—it was so exciting!
Little Huang stepped over the edge of the sofa and nuzzled Lin Xuan, saying, "Human, you've had a hard time hunting."
It sniffed around at Lin Xuan, then suddenly started licking her arm.
"Hiss..." A sudden, sharp pain shot through my arm.
Lin Xuan quickly raised her arm and saw a inch-long wound on her upper arm, probably from the fight with the mutated rooster.
The wound isn't deep, and it's healing at a visible rate.
Huh? What's going on? Is this a new function of my superpower?
No, no, she didn't feel any energy fluctuations in her body. Turning her gaze to Xiao Huang, Lin Xuan suddenly had a guess.
She brought Xiao Huang into the space with her. This was the first time she had brought a cat in. Before, she was afraid that it would suddenly mutate and become uncontrollable in the space, so she had always left it at home.
