16 Daily Life

Lu Ming realized something else.

After obtaining the attribute system, his recovery ability had greatly increased.

According to the online information, within one to three days after leg exercises, there would be significant "side effects." That was why almost all fitness plans schedule rest days after leg day.However, after his lunch break, Lu Ming felt quite full. Not only had his three-dimensional vision improved, but his fatigue and soreness were also almost gone.

However, after the lunch break, Lu Ming felt quite energetic. Not only did his three-dimensional enhancement increase, but his fatigue and soreness were also almost gone.

This was obviously not a normal physiological phenomenon. It could only be explained by the special attributes of the attribute panel.

After farming his attributes and fitness skill proficiency in the morning, Lu Ming was ready to focus on slingshot shooting and cold weapon combat in the afternoon.

Soon, the entire afternoon passed in cultivation.

Slingshot shooting went from Lv3 (2/300) to Lv4 (5/400), and agility increased by an additional 0.4 points.

The training difficulty temporarily remained unchanged, still at 10th rings 2 points and 1 point for the on-target shots.

There was room for further improvement.

Cold Weapon Combat Lv1 (86/100), upgraded to Lv3 (10/300), Strength and Stamina increased by 0.5 points.

The magnitude of improvement was considerable, demonstrating Luming's hard work during the afternoon.

In the evening, as he started cooking, Luming decided to observe the state of the zombies on the street using the observation hole, instead of reading books or watching videos.

The appearance of the giant zombies basically proved the possibility of evolution for zombies.

The safe house, which was supposed to be foolproof, might no longer be safe in the future, causing unease in Lu Ming's heart.

"Therefore, the surveillance of the outside world should also be on the agenda from now on. I have to observe the potential occurrence of danger at all times, preferably eliminating the danger at its source."

But with his current physical fitness, Lu Ming felt that it was not secure enough.

He had to persevere!

...

The evening passed by punching the sandbag.

Hand-to-hand combat from Lv2 (3/200) to Lv2 (75/200)

At nine o'clock in the evening, after checking the supplies, Lu Ming went to bed to rest.

He closed his eyes and opened them again, and it was already morning.

...

"Today is Day 5 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Thursday, a rest day. Although it's a rest day, my attributes have to be maxed out, and my fitness skill proficiency must also be increased to the maximum.

Although there was no conclusive evidence, I was very certain that the giant zombie I had seen the day before yesterday must be an evolved zombie!

Yes, I firmly believe that zombies could evolve.

Although I have confidence in the defense of my home, it was unknown if steel and concrete could withstand zombies or even more terrifying evolved zombies. I have to make a second preparation—that is, to maximize the use of my attribute panel and become stronger as soon as possible!

First, set a small goal: 100 points in three-dimensional attributes.

This way, I might have the confidence to go out and face the zombies or even the giant zombies, head-on."

"Day 6 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Friday, Chest Workout Day."

"Nothing happened today. At least the zombies on the street didn't move, and we didn't find the giant zombies we saw previously."

"If there's anything worth recording, it should be my appetite."

After my afternoon nap yesterday, my three-dimensional vision was past ten—twice that of a normal adult male.

Correspondingly, my appetite has also increased by two times or even more than that of an ordinary male adult.

"There's bad news. Almost all the fresh goods at home have been eaten. In the future, if I want to replenish my protein, I might need to rely on frozen goods… But the reserves of frozen goods won't last long in the face of my explosive appetite.

Day 9 of the Apocalypse Calendar.

10 a.m.

After farming the attributes for today, Lu Ming opened the attribute panel.

Name: Lu Ming.

Age: 25 years old.

Strength: 13.1 (13.9) ↑.

Physique: 13.6 (14.4) ↑.

Agility: 13.9 (14.7) ↑.

Fitness Lv3 (50/300).

Crossbow Shooting Lv2 (5/200).

Archery Lv3 (108/200)

Hand-to-hand Combat Lv4 (12/400).

Cold Weapon Combat Lv6 (33/600).

While admiring his attributes, Lu Ming observed the outside world through the observation hole.

Unlike the calm days before, there were some peculiar behaviors among the zombies on the streets today.

From early in the morning, the zombies on the street in front of his house seemed to have been summoned by something.

Even though there was no sound, they spontaneously began moving slowly toward Good Hope Village.

Lu Ming was acutely aware that something seemed to have happened in the village, but it was too far away for him to observe.

All he could do was quietly watch through the observation hole at home and wait patiently.

...

The unusual behavior of the horde of zombies was related to the trio of giant zombies and Wang Xiong.

Five days ago, Wang Xiong and the other two were trapped in their home by the horde of zombies.

Lu Ming analyzed the situation but it was only an analysis without solid evidence. After discussion, the three of them decided to wait at home for the time being to see if the zombies would disperse on their own.

The results were obvious.

On the first day, the zombies did not move, and the three of them did not move.

On the second day, the zombies remained still, and the three of them did not move.

On the third day, the zombies did not move, and the three of them still did not move…

The situation has changed today.

The horde of zombies remained still, but the three of them had no choice but to take action.

Because they ran out of food.

The stronger their bodies, the more energy they would consume. This was the law!

Just like how Lu Ming's appetite had increased, Wang Xiong's appetite had also soared after becoming Awakened.

There was not much food reserve in his family to begin with.

After being trapped by the horde of zombies for several days and facing the prospect of starving, Wang Xiong decided not to wait any longer.
