Gu Lingxiao hadn't taken a shower in a long time, so he took a shower. Looking at himself in the mirror, he realized he had changed a lot compared to before. His figure was very well-proportioned. He used to be less than 1.8 meters tall, but now he was probably 1.85 meters tall.
Evolution brought about significant changes to Gu Lingxiao's physique.
After getting dressed, I went to the other room that had electricity. This room was two or three times larger than the bathroom I had just been in. It had two floors, and the first floor was divided into three areas. The first area contained some medicines and some small medical equipment.
The second room contained some mechanical tools that Gu Lingxiao couldn't understand, among which the only one he recognized was a cutting machine.
Upon entering the third room, which was mostly filled with communication equipment, he closed the door and went up to the second floor, where the room was mostly filled with food. There were several large refrigerators and freezers, and he couldn't tell which of the ingredients in the freezers were good or bad after the power outage had lasted for an unknown period of time.
After all, before the apocalypse, he didn't need to consider these things at all; he was just a delinquent teenager who liked the thrill of extreme sports.
Gu Lingchuan slept for a full day and night. When he woke up again, it was the morning of the third day. By then, the apocalypse had been raging for a month.
It's January 1st, 2020. Today is New Year's Day, and in just over 20 days it will be Chinese New Year. The weather is not as cold as before. In the past, the lowest temperature in Lijiang City could reach below 0 degrees Celsius, but now the outside temperature is basically stable at 20 degrees Celsius.
It's hard to say whether it's good or bad.
The two brothers wanted to cook a meal to celebrate, but they found that neither of them knew how to cook. They knew how to cook noodles by putting the noodles in the pan before boiling the water, let alone anything else. Realizing this, the two decided to find a survivor who knew how to cook.
"By the way, is that nurse at the hospital still alive?"
Gu Lingxiao nodded. He had basically turned the area upside down and naturally saw the nurse.
"She should know how to cook, right? Let's bring her back later, and also look for Lin Yu and his brother. They're so badly injured; it's dangerous for them to be out there."
"What do you want with those two cowards who are afraid of death?" Gu Lingxiao said with disdain.
"You can't say that. Given the circumstances, no one could have survived if they hadn't left, especially since they were the ones who built this place."
Gu Lingxiao was too lazy to argue with him any further.
After a quick bite, the two of them left the Bluefish Survivor Base. A full diesel generator could last for thirty or forty hours without fear of a sudden power outage.
On their way to the hospital, they encountered virtually no danger. The occasional zombies that wandered by posed no threat to them whatsoever. Most of the zombie crystals were given to Gu Lingchuan so he could use them to break through to the second stage.
"Ling Xiao, you can keep it. Although I'm in a hurry to break through to the second stage to recover my legs, you don't need to give it all to me."
"What are you thinking? My second ability slot isn't embedded, so I can't improve it. Otherwise, I would have given it all to you." He only needs to carry a few with him for recovery.
When Gu Lingchuan arrived at the square in front of the hospital, he was shocked by the scene before him. Zombie corpses were scattered all over the ground, and almost no zombie was intact; they had all been hacked to pieces.
Suddenly Gu Linchuan laughed. He had spoken so casually a couple of days ago, even joking about how he hadn't been eaten by zombies. Gu Linxiao must have been furious when he couldn't find him.
Gu Lingxiao went upstairs and brought Li Yan down.
Li Yan couldn't describe how she felt when she saw the two of them again. She felt heartbroken and wanted to cry, but she held back. She was afraid that crying would leave them with the impression that they only knew how to cry and nothing else, which would lead them to abandon her again. If it were just Gu Lingchuan, it would be fine, but Gu Lingxiao was too terrible.
These past few days have been truly desperate. The day Gu Lingxiao found me, I didn't know what had happened, I only knew that this guy seemed to have gone mad, chopping up zombies outside, his eyes were red and he was even more terrifying than the zombies.
"Can you cook?" Gu Lingchuan asked.
Li Yan nodded vigorously.
Let's walk.
In the past, in a peaceful world, it would have been impossible to go a month without a hot meal.
“Take her back, I’ll go hunt some zombie crystals,” Gu Lingxiao said.
"Wouldn't it be too dangerous for someone to do it alone?"
"No." Although the zombies are evolving, most of them have not yet reached the human limit in terms of strength and speed.
Keep in mind that he is now in the second stage of evolution, much like the difference between an adult male and a one-year-old baby.
Of course, this is only what Gu Lingxiao has encountered; it's hard to say what might happen in densely populated areas like the city center.
She vanished from their sight in a flash, heading towards the direction where the factory was gathering. Li Yan didn't ask any questions about the strange behavior of the two men.
It's reasonable for someone to have superpowers when there are already zombies, right?
Upon arriving at the area where the zombies had gathered, he caused a commotion from a distance, with bloodthirsty gazes fixed on Gu Lingxiao's direction.
"Roar~"
The roar made Gu Lingxiao frown. These guys could already roar? They had probably regained their five senses, and their sense of smell and hearing were probably stronger than those of normal humans.
"I really don't know how ordinary people are supposed to survive in this situation."
Having found a narrow passage, Gu Lingxiao made some noise, and a zombie instantly rushed over.
It's incredibly sensitive. This sound wouldn't normally attract zombies a hundred meters away, but now, zombies from three or four hundred meters away are rushing over.
The dense, howling sounds were truly terrifying.
Zombies rushed in through the narrow passage, and at that moment Gu Lingxiao had the fire axe slung over his shoulder in the backpack.
He tightened his grip on the entrenching tool. He had some training in chopping before, but to be honest, it wasn't very effective against zombies, since the zombies wouldn't die if he hit other parts of their bodies.
Only by forcefully splitting open or severing the brain can it be done.
The cracking sound of bones breaking continued for an hour. The passage was filled with corpses, and Gu Lingxiao was panting, but zombies kept pouring in.
Especially after he was scratched, the zombies became even more frenzied, charging even more aggressively as if they had encountered something delicious.
Evolved beings are not infected by the zombie virus, but flesh and blood seem to be more attractive to zombies.
Helpless, Gu Lingxiao had no choice but to teleport away, not even having time to collect the zombie crystals.
By this time, the wound had healed. Inside the four-story factory, there were still many zombie employees wearing electrostatic suits. Teleporting to the second floor, I found that there were still many zombies. I went directly to the rooftop, where there were no people except for some air compressors.
After recovering for a short while, it teleported to the roof of another factory building 100 meters away.
He banged on the iron railing, attracting quite a few zombies, but the zombie that had been blocking the way wasn't drawn over. So he slashed his arm open, spraying blood everywhere.
A large number of zombies were attracted to the building. There were probably thousands of people in the factory alone, plus tens of thousands in the surrounding area, all of whom charged at the building like madmen.
The constant howling from the rugged terrain attracted even more zombies from afar, including many with peculiar appearances. A monster as tall as three meters rampaged through the horde, trampling countless zombies to death.
There were also some small, thin zombies that were incredibly fast and agile, weaving through everything in their path. If it weren't for the other zombies blocking their way, they could probably cover a hundred meters in just one or two seconds.
