CHAPTER 276: CHAPTER 276: SHADE’S CAPABILITIES

Lu Zhen didn’t tarry for long as he put on more layers of clothes and left together with Shade.

As they got outside, Lu Zhen stopped at the front door and bent over a little to be on eye level with the wolf.

"Do you think you will be able to go out like this or will the weather hurt you?" He didn’t want to do something that might end up hurting the wolf.

Even though he had taken it as his mount, he would not mistreat it. Since it was his companion, it had become a comrade he must protect.

Shade seemed to feel his concern and looked at the snow outside. Even though it was cold, it had a thick skin and thick fur that could keep the cold away.

Thus, the wolf nudged Lu Zhen a little with its snout and continued to walk outside. This was a kind of message telling him that it was fine to go outside.

The man and wolf walked outside and headed towards the gate of the community without looking back.

As soon as they walked out of the gates, they found several zombies loitering around the perimeter of the wall of their community.

There weren’t as many zombies as there usually are, which might be a result of the number of humans within the community reducing significantly the last few days.

This had also lessened the smell of living humans inside. The cold weather also seemed to have affected the ability of the zombies to smell the vitality of humans as it could be seen that they had only noticed Lu Zhen after he had walked out of the gate and made noise with the gate.

However, this didn’t lessen the zombies’ thirst for human blood and flesh. That was the reason why as soon as Lu Zhen and the wolf walked out, those zombies ran towards the two and attacked them.

It was a new experience for Lu Zhen not having to fight and kill all the zombies himself but stood to the side and watched as shade tore those zombies apart.

Moreover, it wasn’t so effortless it was like a dream.

It looked like during the fight they had engaged in it had either gone easy on them, or it had grown stronger.

However, remembering the pile of crystal cores Leng Pan had given it, it looked as if it had advanced.

Its strength had definitely increased. What surprised Lu Zhen was that the wolf was eating the zombies. Not just the Zombie crystal core but the flesh and bones of the zombies as well.

Watching the disgusting scene, Lu Zhen wanted to abandon this wolf. How could it eat something so disgusting?

However, it seemed like the wolf wasn’t eating them because it was greedy. Lu Zhen waited until it was done before talking to it, however he didn’t dare get close because the rotten smell was unbearable.

"Does eating the zombies help you to get stronger?" Lu Zhen had realized that the wolf could understand human language, so there was no need to beat around the bush.

As expected, the wolf nodded its head. It could indeed gain more strength if it ate both the zombie flesh and the crystal cores.

The flesh contained a kind of gas that turned into strength for it to absorb when it ate it.

When he heard this, Lu Zhen didn’t despise his wolf but was very proud of it instead.

"You are very awesome and brave. Being able to eat that thing and not turn into one makes you a kind of a hero.

Okay, let’s get going then. You smelled that huge rock in the mansion, right? See if you can find something with similar energy or smell." Lu Zhen instructed and the wolf squatted down.

Lu Zhen climbed onto the back of the wolf and it got up and sprinted towards the street.

Leng Pan had been watching what was happening through the window and it was only when she saw the two of them disappear into the distance that she turned around and went to sit down.

"Has he left already?" Li Yunjia asked when she saw her daughter-in-law come back to sit down.

"Yes, they have left. I didn’t expect Shade to be so powerful. It can actually eat zombies and nothing happened to it.

It looks like the mutation of animals is a little complicated.

If a human whether superpower user or ordinary dares to touch the flesh of the zombies, left alone eating it, they would definitely turn into one of those zombies in no time.

However, Shade just ate several zombies and nothing happened to him." Leng Pan explained what she had just seen and the others, except for Lu Tao we’re very surprised.

Lu Tao had also been curious about Shade so he had also been standing at the balcony to see what his elder brother did.

Now his worship for his elder brother had only increased.

He didn’t think that any other person could control such a wolf and turn it into a mount to travel on

"That wolf is indeed unusual even in size but I didn’t expect it to be so powerful! The fact that it can eat the zombies showed that it is already immune to the zombie virus.

If it was an animal that didn’t mean much to you or Ah Zhen, it could be used as a study subject to find out how humans could also resist the Zombie virus.

Unfortunately, seeing how you guys treat that wolf, I can tell that you wouldn’t agree." Uncle Li felt that it was a loss that such a good opportunity was lost.

However, he would never set his eyes on something that belonged to his nephew.

He had known his nephew long enough to understand that what he marked as his could not be touched.

"I am sure we will find another way. Now Shade is part of our family and cannot be treated as an object of getting ahead." Leng Pan was the same as her husband. She refused to have what was hers touched.
