CHAPTER 53: CHAPTER 53: STRANGE, WHY ISN’T THE BIG GUY ATTACKING DAD?

"I... I’m still alive?"

"Could this be hell?"

At this moment, Zhao Lin felt dizzy and unsteady as she got up from the ground and looked around in confusion.

Before Da Pang smashed her to death with a hammer, she had been beaten to the point of bleeding from her seven orifices.

Therefore, everything she saw was covered in dried blood, and as she looked around now, it was nothing but a bloody haze in her vision.

Feeling discomfort in her eyes, Zhao Lin instinctively wiped them and finally regained clarity.

She saw the familiar street around her, the familiar district, and even the giant zombie not far away seemed so familiar.

This wasn’t the Underworld; wasn’t this the Sunshine District she saw right before she died?!

Zhao Lin’s pupils constricted as she realized she seemed to still be alive.

"No, wait! How am I still alive?!"

Zhao Lin was completely stunned.

She hurriedly checked her body, touching and looking all over, finding herself covered in bloodstains but unable to find a single wound, not even a broken bone.

"No, it’s impossible. Wasn’t I smashed to death by that zombie’s hammer? How...?"

This inexplicable turn of events left Zhao Lin utterly bewildered; she clearly remembered a massive hammer striking her abdomen before she died.

The excruciating pain caused her to cough up blood, and then she lost consciousness.

Zhao Lin remembered that before dying, she seemed to hear the sound of her bones breaking, but now, there was nothing wrong.

If it weren’t for the blood covering her, Zhao Lin might have doubted everything before as a mere illusion.

Looking at the towering, demon-like Tank Zombie not far away, Zhao Lin shivered.

Recalling the scenes from earlier in the day, she dared not linger here further and hurriedly fled towards the police station.

Lu Chuan, through Da Pang’s perspective, watched as this person, who had been hit by his flying heavy hammer and was obviously dead with fractured bones, bleeding from the seven orifices—undeniably dead—suddenly stood up eerily in the dark.

Most crucially, she patted herself off as if nothing had happened and turned to run at an incredible speed.

At this moment, Lu Chuan was utterly bewildered by the situation.

Could this woman be like an unkillable cockroach?

Even something like this couldn’t kill her?!

Lu Chuan was certain that this woman was not a zombie.

Because when he saw the body stand up, Lu Chuan immediately went downstairs and arrived at the district entrance.

He immediately began using his Telekinesis to try and control it.

But this woman was entirely different from a zombie; ordinary zombies were like thoughtless empty vessels.

In Lu Chuan’s Telekinesis perspective, all the zombies on the street were mindless puppets, easily controlled by his Telekinesis.

Yet when Lu Chuan tried to use Telekinesis on this woman, he discovered that her body contained a power only humans possess: willpower.

This meant that the policewoman in front of him hadn’t turned into a zombie and still retained human consciousness.

This bizarre phenomenon reminded Lu Chuan of the strong man he had encountered in the shop earlier.

That man looked no different from an ordinary person, maybe just slightly more muscular.

Yet he possessed incredibly strong Divine Power, even managing to knock away the axe of Lu Chuan’s controlled Corpse Puppet, an unimaginable strength for an ordinary person.

The military’s flyers mentioned that Evolvers have appeared among human survivors.

Connecting all these pieces, although Lu Chuan didn’t know what had happened to this mysterious policewoman, he could vaguely guess.

Perhaps after the Blood Moon, the woman had also mutated, and her resurrection was due to being an Evolver.

If not, it would be far too eerie for Zhao Lin, who had fractured bones and muscles torn, to be resurrected.

...

"What on earth happened? Why am I still alive?!"

Zhao Lin ran a great distance and stopped in a secluded corner.

The cool breeze during her sprint cleared her head a little, and now far away from the threat of the Evolved Zombie, Zhao Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at her bloodstained clothes, Zhao Lin frowned.

"The events during the day really happened; I definitely was smashed to death by that Evolved Zombie, and the bloodstains on me can’t be fake."

Zhao Lin just couldn’t understand why, when her bones were clearly shattered, she was now perfectly fine.

She pinched her ribs and arms but felt no pain whatsoever.

There were not even bruises on her, an unreal level of recovery!

"No, there’s something different about me now!"

Zhao Lin glanced behind her, realizing she had run quite a distance in her panic.

Yet she still felt full of energy, much stronger than she was before.

Zhao Lin clenched her fists, feeling strength coursing throughout her body.

After a round of testing, I found that my physical fitness has greatly improved compared to before, with significant enhancements in strength and speed!

Feeling as if reborn, Zhao Lin’s beautiful eyes widened in surprise, filled with astonishment.

Recalling the information she saw on a flyer earlier, Zhao Lin suddenly felt her scalp tingle.

"Could it be... am I also an Evolver?!"

Besides this reason, Zhao Lin really couldn’t understand why not only was she still alive, but her physical condition had undergone such terrifying changes!

...

"Daddy, check."

The next day, in the bedroom on the seventh floor, Ji Ruxue handed her math homework to Lu Chuan for review. The little girl’s manner was adorably charming.

Lu Chuan hadn’t paid much attention initially, but after taking a glance, he was stunned.

What’s going on? Little Qiqi can even do math now?!

Little Qiqi is not even one year old yet, but has already accomplished what other children can do only at a few years old!

Lu Chuan widened his eyes, his whole body a bit stiff as he stared at Little Qiqi’s math work in a daze.

Seeing such a big reaction from Lu Chuan, Ji Ruxue also felt a little flustered.

"Oh no, did I go too far?"

Ji Ruxue really didn’t want to keep pretending to be clueless; acting like a baby who doesn’t understand anything was truly difficult.

She wanted to slowly reveal her extraordinary attributes, hoping to gradually let her zombie father get used to her remarkable progress.

For example, by creating the persona of a genius baby, even if she did things far beyond her age, her zombie father wouldn’t be too shocked.

After the shock, Lu Chuan was extremely delighted.

"Hahaha, Little Qiqi is truly amazing, worthy of being a rare prodigy!"

Lu Chuan didn’t feel anything was wrong; instead, he was incredibly excited.

Perhaps seeing that female police officer die and come back to life before, witnessing her climb up from a corpse, had a huge impact on Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan was already quite unfamiliar with this world, and with the appearance of Evolvers among humans after the Blood Moon changes,

now even such outrageous things like resurrection can happen, so what if our Little Qiqi is just a bit smarter?!

What’s wrong with being able to do arithmetic before turning one?

This is called a prodigy!

Very reasonable!

In such a strange large environment, Lu Chuan felt that unless the little one personally crafted a nuclear bomb, he wouldn’t find anything wrong.

Hehehe!

My daughter possesses the makings of an emperor!

Seeing the little one’s extraordinary intelligence, Lu Chuan was also very pleased.

Being smart enough, at least it could allow the little one to survive longer in the brutal apocalypse of the future.

Lu Chuan looked at Little Qiqi, who was staring up at him with wide eyes like a porcelain doll, feeling all his negative emotions in the apocalypse alleviated.

The little one was so adorable that Lu Chuan instinctively pinched her little cheek.

And this action made Ji Ruxue breath a sigh of relief; in Ji Ruxue’s understanding, the zombie father pinching her cheek meant he was really happy inside.

Seeing the zombie father so happy, Ji Ruxue knew her current situation hadn’t been exposed yet.

Without her father thinking too much, she felt more at ease, seeing that she could continue doing unconventional things to let the zombie father gradually adapt to her.

After all, pretending to be clueless all the time was really tough...

Moreover, after the Blood Moon, almost all living beings are constantly evolving.

Ji Ruxue didn’t want to always face the ever-harsh doomsday in the form of a baby.

With a thought, Lu Chuan’s Corpse Puppet outside spotted the trail of an Evolved Zombie once more.

Lu Chuan immediately placed the little one on the bed, then hurriedly went downstairs.

After Lu Chuan left, Ji Ruxue quickly moved her little legs to the balcony, picking up the massive black telescope to look at the gate of the district again.

She wanted to see if the body of the female officer killed by the Tank Zombie yesterday was still in place.

Seeing the female officer who was crushed by the Tank Type Zombie yesterday, Ji Ruxue felt she had met her somewhere but couldn’t recall where at the moment.

However, a more peculiar scene within the community attracted Ji Ruxue’s attention.

A group of well-built zombies gathered from various corners of the community.

Each of these zombies wore fully enclosed motorcycle helmets, wielding sharp fire axes.

However, a figure in the zombie crowd caught Ji Ruxue’s attention, from familiar clothing it was clearly the zombie father who had just gone downstairs!

This group of zombies moved towards the outside gate of the community, then followed the muscle-bound zombie guarding at the door, leaving Sunshine District together.

Ji Ruxue was stunned: "Strange, at such close range, why didn’t that big guy attack daddy?"
