Sunshine District, seventh-floor bedroom.
"He’s been out for so long, why isn’t Dad back yet?"
"Could sothing have happened?"
Ji Ruxue stood on the balcony with binoculars, looking into the distance, her brows furrowed with worry.
The gas station caught fire, and even though Sunshine Ho was so distance away, it was still visible.
Staring at the blazing flas and the billowing black smoke, Ji Ruxue instinctively thought of her zombie father.
Could the sudden fire at the gas station be related to Dad?
The thought barely surfaced when Ji Ruxue quickly shook her head.
Her zombie father always handled things steadily. Even under orders from the Corpse King, he would hide in the back and never be the cannon fodder; it shouldn’t be a problem.
Gurgle!
Lu Chuan hadn’t returned for so long that Ji Ruxue’s stomach began to rumble with hunger.
As she continued to grow, her ability to move had improved, but the energy consumption was also increasing.
Seeing that her zombie father still hadn’t co back, Ji Ruxue reluctantly went downstairs to scavenge for supplies.
Fortunately, her zombie father had stocked up quite a bit, and Ji Ruxue took out so biscuits to munch on.
Ji Ruxue couldn’t help but think about her agreent with the Nine Deaths Demon Police last night.
That silly woman isn’t exactly bright. I hope she doesn’t bail on this ti...
"Hmm? Back already?!"
At that mont, Ji Ruxue noticed her zombie father and so Corpse Puppets returning to the complex.
Seeing her zombie father safe, Ji Ruxue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now successfully obtaining a second-tier Crystal Core, Lu Chuan was delighted. While cooking for Little Qiqi, he even added an extra fried egg for her.
After all, just as he needed to devour Crystal Cores to evolve as a zombie, the little one needed energy to grow.
Watching the little one gobble up her food, Lu Chuan then grabbed the paper and pen Ji Ruxue used to practice writing.
"Dad has sothing to do this afternoon, so you stay ho and do your howork."
Seeing the words her zombie father had written, Ji Ruxue wasn’t surprised anymore.
She had already accepted that her zombie father, though transford, still retained his human consciousness.
"Got it, Dad. You go ahead with your work."
Ji Ruxue swallowed a bite of rice, looked up, and flashed a cute smile at Lu Chuan.
She felt secretly pleased, as she still needed to prepare for her eting with the Nine Deaths Demon Police that night, and her zombie father unknowingly facilitated her plan.
After Little Qiqi finished eating, Lu Chuan turned and left.
This ti, he intended to devour a Crystal Core from a second-tier Tyrant zombie, sothing he hadn’t done before, so he wasn’t sure what transformation it would bring.
Concerned that any commotion might disturb Little Qiqi’s studies, Lu Chuan relocated to the fourth building next door.
’Lightning Two’ was stationed below the fifth building to safeguard Little Qiqi.
’Da Pang,’ still wielding dual hamrs, stood guard at the entrance of Sunshine District like a Gate God, valiantly holding the fort.
’Lightning One’ accompanied Lu Chuan to the fourth building.
He anticipated that after devouring the Crystal Core, he might fall into a coma and would rely on ’Lightning One’ for protection.
The enigmatic lady cop who had previously escaped had shouted a warning, making Lu Chuan aware that capable Evolvers might be lurking around his district.
Standing on the balcony, Lu Chuan looked outside a few tis, ensuring all doors and windows were tightly closed to avoid detection by these Evolvers.
Taking the red-orange Crystal Core from ’Lightning One’s’ hand, Lu Chuan was thrilled.
It had been a while since he last consud a Crystal Core, and he was eager to beco stronger.
The Crystal Core was an entire blood-red color, mostly surrounded by an orange aura.
Lu Chuan speculated that when he reached the third tier, the Crystal Core might turn orange.
The Crystal Core looked exquisite, almost like a real crystal.
Holding it in his hand, his blood-red eyes seed to bleed, filled with desire for the Crystal Core.
Without a second thought, Lu Chuan swallowed the red-orange Crystal Core.
Instantly, a vast power exploded within him.
This terrifying power surpassed all the Crystal Cores Lu Chuan had previously devoured, so intense that his body trembled uncontrollably.
Simultaneously, an invisible pressure emanated from Lu Chuan, causing ’Lightning One’s’ body, which was supposed to ensure safety, to shudder under this power.
Although Lu Chuan knew the Crystal Core from a second-tier Tyrant zombie would carry incredible energy, he underestimated the magnitude of its power!
Abundant energy surged into his body, filling every part with a terrifying force.
Lu Chuan, as a non-physically evolved zombie, had devoured nurous Crystal Cores with little change to his body.
Yet, once he ingested the second-tier Core, the monstrous power made his ridians swell, his bones felt reforged like ingots of steel.
Lu Chuan felt an intense heat radiating from his body, a sensation he missed as a long-deceased zombie.
Under this scorching heat, his flesh seed to reorganize, with his muscles becoming more solid.
If Lu Chuan removed his clothes now, he would find his already angular muscles had swelled dramatically.
His fra beca robust, muscles sharply defined, exuding an incredible explosive power.
Even his visible tendons were distinct, his body looked like a ticulously crafted work of art!
The most profound change wasn’t physical, but the sudden surge in terrifying Spiritual Power!
About seventy percent of the potent energy from the second-tier Core stread into Lu Chuan’s mind.
The sudden boost in Spiritual Telekinesis felt overwhelming, as if his brain was about to explode.
Under this terrifying ntal impact, Lu Chuan barely held consciousness before slipping into a haze.
The rapid surge in Telekinesis was astonishing, exceeding any previous evolutionary scale for Lu Chuan.
anwhile, in the bedroom of the fifth building, Ji Ruxue, who was writing sothing, froze and quickly ran to the window.
Looking out in astonishnt, Ji Ruxue felt like she had just heard the voice of her zombie father!
