(The following is a serious lie↓↓↓)
Emperor Xiu irresponsibly speculated that the torrential rain in the three days before the apocalypse was spiritual rain, and those who had fevers were all more sensitive to spiritual energy, while the red rain was spiritual rain mixed with some dangerous substances.
He didn't know what the world was like before the apocalypse, but the air after the apocalypse was filled with spiritual energy, mixed with some things that made him uncomfortable, which he would call turbid energy.
This foul air was especially noticeable on the zombies, which may be the reason why the first batch of zombies appeared.
In the timeline, Ximen Hui obtained a basic cultivation technique when he activated the space. He then used the spiritual spring and pure spiritual energy in the space to enhance his superpowers. Other superpowered individuals did not have cultivation techniques or spaces, and took two other paths.
One is the simplest method. After using up your superpowers, your body will automatically absorb spiritual energy to recover. By repeatedly squeezing your superpowers, you can increase the upper limit of your body's energy storage. Once you reach the limit, you will level up.
This method absorbs the turbid energy along with the spiritual energy, but there has never been a case of a superhuman turning into a zombie for no reason in the timeline. Perhaps as long as the spiritual energy outweighs the turbid energy, there will be no problem.
However, if a person with superpowers is bitten or scratched by a zombie of similar strength, this dominance may be broken, so a person with superpowers may also turn into a zombie. A very small number of lucky individuals may awaken a second superpower.
Another way to enhance one's abilities is to absorb the crystal cores inside the brains of zombies.
The current zombies are considered Level 1 zombies. In a month, another rain will fall, causing plants and animals to mutate, and the zombies will undergo a complete evolution. Level 2 zombies will condense crystal cores containing pure spiritual energy, harmless to humans but beneficial to supernatural abilities.
Zombies can also level up; the Zombie King is a prime example. However, since this isn't from the protagonist's perspective, aside from the first level-up due to rain, the conditions for other level-ups are unknown.
001 was perfect for monitoring the villainous boss, so Di Xiu had him keep an eye on him as well.
...
Emperor Xiu used spiritual energy to cleanse and refine this body, removing all the filth. Looking at the slightly murky swimming pool, he decided to make do.
As the night passed, he felt the hunger in his stomach, so he opened a potato chip and started eating. He also drank the 4.5 liters of water. There was no elegance in it, only boldness, which matched his face and body quite well.
After eating five more apples, Di Xiu stood up, stretched his limbs, and asked 001, "One, where is Ximen Hui now?"
"We're still in Anzhou City, 620 kilometers away. If the road conditions are good, it will take seven hours and thirty minutes, not counting rest time."
Obviously, this "if" is impossible.
001 suggested, "Why don't we gather some resources first, and then find a place to stay?"
Emperor Xiu pondered for a moment and nodded.
Judging from Ximen Hui's cultivation history, the cultivation system of this world is quite unique; it does not have the function of abstaining from grains. In other words, Emperor-level cultivators cannot survive by absorbing spiritual energy and need food to sustain their lives.
The fact that zombies can maintain their vital signs without eating or drinking is both anti-scientific and anti-mystical.
"What do you want to eat? I'll see if there's anything nearby. Just so you know, don't even think about hot pot or barbecue unless you're willing to cook it yourself."
"Compressed biscuits".
001 strongly condemned, "How can you have no ambition at all?"
After a moment's thought, Di Xiu said, "Then let's make meat-flavored compressed biscuits."
001: "..."
Di Xiu climbed up from the outer wall and jumped down. He still had the good quality large cloth bag in his hand, which contained soda and a large bottle of Nongfu Spring water. In his other hand, he held an iron rod.
He used the wall for leverage several times, landing silently, but the zombies still followed the scent and gathered around.
In this world, divine sense can be used to impersonate mental power. Di Xiu tested it while eating breakfast. It was effective in causing damage, but it couldn't directly confuse or control zombies, probably because they hadn't grown their brains back yet.
During the process of zombies upgrading, they gradually shed their rotten flesh and their crystal cores condense to become stronger. This process is the process of them re-condensing their consciousness. For example, the zombie king looks no different from an ordinary person and may even have all the memories of his previous life before becoming a zombie.
There are fewer zombies on the streets during the day, and they move very slowly. Logically speaking, zombies at this time do not pose a great threat to ordinary people, but most people are unwilling to go out unless absolutely necessary.
After dealing with the zombies blocking his way, Di Xiu avoided the splashes of rotting flesh and liquid and found a relatively intact car.
The car keys were still in the ignition; he could drive off as soon as he turned on the ignition. He drove to the supermarket from yesterday.
His divine sense was in an extended state, but he only controlled the area within a hundred meters, acting as his eyes. Occasionally, he would detect a zombie about to bite someone, and he would solidify his divine sense and strike it down, giving the zombie a chance to escape.
If the other party doesn't take the opportunity to escape but instead stays there foolishly, he won't bother with them anymore.
It's beyond saving.
There were still many zombies in the supermarket, but there were also four living people. Di Xiu wielded his iron rod, creating afterimages as he fought his way in.
He went straight to the warehouse, where the number of zombies on the outer shelves was less than that inside the warehouse.
The four extra adults are in the warehouse. They are not in any immediate danger, but it appears they are trapped inside.
Emperor Xiu fought his way to the warehouse entrance. Before he could knock, the door opened from the inside, just big enough for one person to pass through. Someone called out urgently, "Come in quickly."
However, they probably didn't expect the person outside to be more burly than they imagined, and the person who had spoken earlier asked his companion to open the door a little wider.
Without turning his head, Di Xiu swatted away the zombie that lunged at him, then instantly stepped into the warehouse, the door slamming shut behind him.
The warehouse was lit up, and three men and one woman were gathered at the door. They looked to be about the same age, and although they had fear on their faces, they were all relatively calm and there was no sign of them crying.
"This door is pretty sturdy; zombies can't get in." The speaker was a boy wearing glasses, who had spoken the previous two times.
The other two boys were responsible for opening the door. They had clearly defined muscles and had obviously worked out. They were staring at Di Xiu's biceps with drooling eyes.
What's particularly noticeable is that the person on the left has a Peppa Pig tattoo on their arm.
The four men looked at the iron rod in Di Xiu's hand, which was full of rotten flesh and blood, with admiration on their faces.
The man with glasses smiled and asked in a friendly manner, "Hello, are you alone?"
Di Xiu paused for a second, nodded, and replied with "Hello."
The guy with the tattoo gave him a thumbs up, his eyes burning with admiration: "Bro, you're awesome! And those muscles, how did you get them?"
The girl stepped on his foot, gritted her teeth and called out "Brother," while the man with glasses coughed softly, signaling him to be mindful of the situation.
"Friend, are you also here looking for supplies?" the bespectacled man asked.
"Um."
As he spoke, Di Xiu had already taken out the large cloth bag from his pocket and started filling it with compressed biscuits.
His decisive actions probably piqued their curiosity, and the girl tentatively asked, "Excuse me, sir, how did you know the compressed biscuits were here?"
"Good eyesight."
