Chapter 55
The plan to float on water is simple.
The old man and the little girl looked strange. He didn't intend to fight them head-on, so he jumped down from the tree and ran towards the other side of the lake where the bodies were piled up.
The advantages of running fast become apparent at this moment.
In just two minutes, he had already hidden behind a pile of corpses, waiting for the zombies carrying the bodies to approach.
Yes, as they approached, the waterwalker discovered that all the fallen people were dead, now genuine corpses.
He became even more cautious, not daring to make a sound, and held his breath the moment the zombie approached.
He used the knife hidden in his left hand to make a cut on the zombie, and then quickly took out a container from his backpack to collect the blood.
The movements on the water were fluid and graceful.
The zombie's process of putting down the corpse took only two or three seconds. He had already obtained the blood he wanted, carefully put it into his backpack, and quietly ran away.
The little girl turned her head and saw a gash on the zombie's body. "Grandpa, he's gone."
"Never mind him, tell 001 to move the selected corpse back onto the train."

Xi Miao spent the whole day playing with the mermaids, from cat's cradle to musical chairs, and the room was filled with laughter.
At first, the five mermaids were all focused on her, but later, as they had more fun, they started to concentrate on the game.
Perhaps because they had shared the love potion, each person had only taken a small dose, and the effects lasted much shorter than Xi Miao had expected.
By the time Bruru brought the traded items back to her, the effects of the medicine had mostly worn off.
"Thank you," Bruru heard laughter from afar, and the thank you was sincere.
A row of mermaids carrying mermaid veils walked in behind her.
Xi Miao realized that there were so many mermaids in the Silent Sea, but they all looked different, some even strangely shaped.
"Everything is here: eighty bolts of mermaid silk, one hundred fish, one hundred shrimp, one hundred crabs, one hundred snails, two crystal lamps, a set of crystal tables and chairs, a giant clam shell bed, a pair of fine shell hand guards, ten pearl ornaments, and a book on the Water-Cutting Knife Technique."
Xi Miao's eyes lit up when she heard the words "sword technique".
This wasn't included in their agreed-upon compensation!
Brulu smiled at her, clearly knowing what Xi Miao was surprised about.
"Consider this my apology on behalf of these impetuous younger sisters. Please don't be shy."
On the day the Great White Shark Guardian appeared, Brulu spotted Xi Miao's weapon, a long sword about half a person's height, somewhat similar to hers.
After Xi Miao accidentally ingested the love potion, she was clearly startled. Seeing this, Bruru felt somewhat guilty towards the friendly merchant and offered her a gift: a copy of the sword technique.
"I am skilled with a knife. When I was a child, I apprenticed under a master, and the first thing my master taught me was the Water Cutting Knife Technique. This knife technique is of great significance to me, and it is perfect to give it to a friend like you who has come from afar."
Xi Miao now views Brulu through a filter.
I couldn't help but admire her. No wonder she's the eldest princess of the mermaid clan, the future mermaid king! Look at how she handled this! Look at her observation skills! Look at her friendly smile!
She caught the knife, stuffed it into her backpack, and then thanked him sincerely.
"Don't worry, Princess Bruru, I will definitely not let this sword technique go to waste!"
Xi Miao handed the inventoried goods to Bruru, concluding this pleasant transaction.
She didn't even have to swim back to the train herself; Bruru specially arranged for a mackerel shark to give her a ride.
Xi Miao surfaced, and Lisa was sitting by the train door, swinging her legs and waiting for her.
She reached out her hand to Lisa, who pulled her up.
Lisa wasn't good at sweet talk; she simply brewed hot tea and brought it to Xi Miao while she was taking off her diving suit.
Xi Miao drank the whole glass in one gulp. "Thank you!"
Xi Miao had no time to worry about anything else; the first thing she did was learn the Water-Cutting Sword Technique.
The Water Slash Sword Technique emphasizes simplicity and effectiveness, consisting of only three moves, which perfectly complements Xi Miao's Air Swordsman profession.
The first move, the "Water Splashing" move, involves raising the blade from bottom to top, using the splashing water to obscure the enemy's vision, creating a surprise effect.
The second move, the Water-Avoiding Move, allows one to skillfully avoid the resistance of water and swing the knife at the fastest speed.
The third move, the Water-Cutting Move, uses water as a blade; a master can unleash hundreds or thousands of blades simultaneously with a single strike.
In addition, the Air Blade Master can suddenly extend the distance of the blade's strike in a certain move. After learning the Water Slash Blade Technique, Xi Miao is even more powerful in water combat.
Perhaps she could keep a water bottle in her backpack and use the water's momentum when encountering a strong enemy; it might have a surprising effect.
Xi Miao remembered this and turned to look at the store.
"The antidote for discontinuing heart disease has actually been sold!"
Xi Miao was overjoyed, never expecting that players could actually find something like zombie blood.
Before the upgrade, Xi Miao curiously took out the zombie blood to take a look.
The transparent bottle was filled with green blood. The moment Xi Miao took it out, she smelled a sour and rotten odor and quickly handed it over to the system for an upgrade.
Congratulations on successfully reaching Level 3! Your train information has been updated!
Xi Miao opened it and took a look.
Train: Doomsday Shelter
Level: 3
Number of carriages: 2
Durability: 800/800 (Steel Fortress)
Comfort level 200/200 (Home is empty)
Special effect: The shelter can protect family members, and players can invite selected family members (non-players) to join them in the vehicle (1/2).
After the durability was upgraded, it automatically increased by 100 points, and the number of people that can be invited also increased by 1 point.
However, the comfort level was still a pitiful two hundred points. Xi Miao remembered what she had drawn before going to the Silent Sea, and excitedly stood up, pulling Lisa to the door of the small toilet in the train.
"Let's do the renovations, Lisa, you help us choose!"
Xi Miao had previously won a premium bathroom set and a comfortable toilet renovation, and planned to keep them all for herself.
The bathroom set is a shower room, and after use, three small bathroom models appear.
One is modern, one is European medieval, and the last one is retro French style.
"Everything inside is the same, which one do you think looks better?"
This was the first time Lisa had ever seen such a high-class bathroom. Her eyes darted around the three small models several times before she pointed to the one in the middle.
Xi Miao was not surprised at all. The style of medieval European nobles was extremely luxurious, and the high-end set given by the system naturally followed the noble style.
The leaf-shaped windows, the embossed walls painted with gold and silver powder, the golden bathtub and mirror frame, and the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling all exude luxury.
Xi Miao clicked on a random button and selected this style.
The cramped toilet in front of them suddenly transformed into a shower room of 30 square meters, a larger version of the model they had just seen.
Lisa covered her mouth, but still let out a scream, "Oh my god, it's so beautiful!"
The magnified view of the luxury was even more breathtaking; the bathroom was like a golden ballroom, even more beautiful than any ballroom she had ever been to before!
Lisa carefully walked in and asked incredulously.
"Can we really take a shower here from now on?"
“Of course,” Xi Miao chuckled, turning her head to look. The toilet area outside was unchanged, still as cramped and dilapidated as before.
She immediately used all the toilet decoration materials.
However, this time the props are designed for comfort, and there are no luxury options.
Two similar models appeared before Xi Miao's eyes.
She glanced at it casually, and this time without asking Lisa, she directly chose the first one.
Gold and red tiles were applied to the wall, and a particularly unusual toilet appeared in front of Lisa.
She was stunned and asked Xi Miao.
"Are we going to poop on the sofa from now on?"
