nDay 48 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Friday.
nHuo Sheng and Bai Tianyu came to visit yesterday and left in the evening.
nWang Xiong told me that he had already reached an agreement with the official shelter, and he explained the details of the agreement to me, but I only got a rough idea.
nBecause those are all unimportant things.
nI can be sure that I don’t possess any leadership abilities, nor do I have a big-picture perspective. My abilities are limited, and when it comes to matters of development and construction, I feel that I shouldn’t get involved.
nThere’s only one thing I need to do—farm my attributes and become stronger!
nStrength gives me a sense of security.
nTherefore, there’s nothing more important than increasing my strength.
nThis afternoon, Wang Xiong left with Li Zitong, Zhang Lixin, and Zhao
nHonglei. I heard that he went out to clear the zombies.
nZhang Chengcheng told me that from today onwards, the official shelter and our side are prepared to mobilize manpower to eliminate all the zombies within the safe zone.
nIt’s quite a massive project, but I won’t get involved.
nToday’s attribute record:
nName: Lu Ming
nStrength: 92.4
nPhysique: 93.1
nAgility: 113.7
nFree Attribute Points: 3
nFitness Lvi3 (700
/1300)
nSlingshot Lv21 (1345
/2100)
nCrossbow Shooting Lvi5 (312
/1500)
nArchery Lvi5 (788
/1500)
nGun Shooting Lv5 (45
/500)
nUnarmed Combat Lv20 (362
/2000).
nCold Weapon Combat Lvli (488
/1100)
nBasic Spearmanship Lv6 (34
/600)
nThrow Lv6 (152
/600)
nResistance Stance Lv2 (37
/200)
nIt’s worth mentioning that although the Resistance Stance gives a considerable number of attribute points, it is relatively challenging to practice, and progress is a bit slow… but there’s nothing I can do about it.
nI haven’t figured out how to use the 3 free attribute points I accumulated, so I’ll keep them for now.
nApocalypse Calendar, 49th day, Saturday.”
nToday, I learned from Zhao Yongchun the ultimate move of the Zhao Family’s Spear—Cold Light.
nThe Cold Light is a special technique that uses the power generated from the Resistance Stance to thrust the spear, significantly increasing the speed and power of the attack.
nI’m already proficient in the Resistance Stance. Because of this, I grasped the Cold Light technique very quickly. About half an hour later, I mastered Cold Light’s force delivery technique. Zhao Yongchun was amazed and said that I was a genius.
nBut, I know that I’m not a genius. Other than the system’s help, the key to my progress lies in persistent perseverance and rigorous training, akin to that of an ascetic monk!
nOf course, I don’t find it to be a hardship. The feeling of becoming stronger every day makes me happy.
nBy the way, the system did not record the Cold Light skill. Perhaps, from the system’s perspective, Zhao’s family spear skill—Cold Light—is not considered a skill, but rather an advanced technique combining spear technique and the Resistance Stance.
nBut the good news is that practicing the Cold Light can quickly increase the proficiency of the basic spearmanship and the Resistance Stance—yesterday, I said that it was difficult to practice the Resistance Stance, but today, I found a solution.
nIt’s all thanks to me!

nDay 50 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Sunday.
nThe days sometimes feel slow and sometimes fast, but every day is so fulfilling!
nToday, I leveled up without any incidents.
nThe Fitness skill has been upgraded again, reaching Level 14 (88
/1400).

nDay 52 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Tuesday.
nI was on a whim today, and I asked Zhang Lixin for a sniper rifle.
nIn the afternoon, I stood on the observation deck which was raised to 70 meters again, and shot at the zombies.
nI’ve always firmly believed that every zombie I kill now means eliminating a future tyrant! The fewer zombies, the better! The fewer of these things, the safer I’ll be!
nNot to mention that it allows me to increase my proficiency in firearms shooting—it’s killing two birds with one stone!
nToday’s attribute record: (omitted)…

nA week later.
nDay 65 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Monday.
nIn the afternoon, after lunch break, Lu Ming opened his attribute panel.
nThe attributes on it had already changed drastically since 17 days ago.
nName: Lu Ming
nStrength: 171.7
nPhysique: 172.4
nAgility: 203.4
nFree Attribute Points: 45
nFitness Lvi7 (1100
/1700)
nSlingshot Lv24 (888
/2400)
nCrossbow Shooting Lvl8 (321
/1800)
nArchery Lvi9 (621
/1900)
nGun Shooting Lvi7 (510
/100)
nUnarmed Combat Lv24 (65
/2400)
nCold Weapon Combat Lv20 (333
/2000)

nThrow Lvio (515

nResistance Stance Lv9 (0
/900)
nHe got out of bed and went to the mirror.
nA humanoid figure nearly two meters tall appeared in the mirror.
nLu Ming was not wearing pajamas because the original pajamas were already too small to fit his body.
nHe was only wearing shorts.
nLooking at the mirror, he saw that the person in the mirror was two meters tall, with muscles that were entangled like old tree roots covering the surface of his body, like a firm bronze armor.
nHis facial features were sculpted and resolute, masculine yet gentle.
nAfter gazing at himself in the mirror for a long time, Lu Ming grinned and said, “Great, full of strength!”
nThe sudden increase in height and strong muscles meant combat strength!
nIn Lu Ming’s perspective, combat strength could be equated with beauty.
nAs Lu Ming dressed, he pondered another challenging problem…
nZhang Chengcheng’s Gravity superpower could not keep up with Lu Ming’s progress.
nRegarding this matter, Lu Ming had already discussed it with Zhang Chengcheng, Wang Xiong, and the others yesterday.
nFor a Level 3 Awakened to advance further, they needed Tier 3 Corpse Crystals—specifically, the Corpse Crystals of the Tyrant.
nHowever, during this period of time, they did not encounter many Tyrants here or in the official shelter. They encountered only five of them and killed two, obtaining two Level 3 zombie crystals.
nEven with the reserves, it was still not enough for Zhang Chengcheng to advance to a Level 4 Awakened.
nThe situation was stuck in a stalemate.
nWang Xiong said that he had already talked to Huo Sheng. During this period of time, everyone would prioritize hunting Tyrants and collecting Level 3 zombie crystals.
nLu Ming could only express his gratitude and quietly wait.
nAs soon as he walked out of the house, many voices reached his ears.
n“Brother Lu.”
n“Hello, Brother Lu!”
n“Brother Lu!
nAs people passed by outside the door and saw Lu Ming, they all smiled and greeted him.
nDuring this period of time, Lu Ming had also become accustomed to such a scene. After politely nodding and responding with a smile, he stepped forward and arrived in front of the nearby observation tower.
nAfter more than 10 days of expansion, the observation tower had reached a height of 150 meters. Lu Ming tried it and found that even when free-falling from this height, he could land without injury, which gave him the confidence to climb to the top of the tower.
nThere was a ladder on the tower. Lu Ming took a big leap and quickly climbed to the height of 150 meters, standing at the top of the tower, gazing into the distance with an unobstructed view..
