Lu Ming could not help but sigh. Huo Sheng really had guts…

He was in so much pain, his body hunched over like a shrimp, lying on the ground convulsing.

But, surprisingly, even in this state, Huo Sheng could still spare some time to occasionally chat with Lu Ming. He was quite a tough one.

And the awakening method Huo Sheng developed was much faster than natural awakening.

Soon, Meng Jie and Huo Sheng both completed their awakenings.

There was no need for further experiments. Lu Ming could already hear that their heartbeats had become stronger, and their blood flow was faster—this meant that their physical strength had increased explosively!

Seeing this, Lu Ming could not help but nod. “This method should work.”

After dispelling his worries, Lu Ming looked at the small centrifuge.

The Level 1 zombie crystal had not been used up yet, still having about three-fifths left…

After some thought, Lu Ming went to the centrifuge, picked up another vital mystery factor, pulled out the stopper, and took a deep inhale.

The mystery factor surged into Lu Ming’s nasal cavity.

Lu Ming immediately felt invigorated.

“This feels somewhat comfortable.”

And then there was nothing more…

Beside him, seeing Lu Ming’s actions, Huo Sheng wiped his sweat and said, “There’s not enough.”

He had mentioned before that due to Lu Ming’s strong physique, he needed to consume more of the mystery factor to awaken.

The amount of mystery factor that could awaken an ordinary person was like a drizzle to Lu Ming.

But Lu Ming did not care about this.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Lu Ming could not help but sigh.

There’s no reaction.

Huo Sheng remained silent.

So what I said earlier was in vain?

Lu Ming took out another mystery factor and consumed it again.

Still no reaction.”

He took out the remaining half of the Level 1 zombie crystal from the centrifuge and put it into his mouth while enduring the nausea.

It melted in his mouth, without any nauseating taste.

Great.

The mystery factor, whether it was gas or liquid in his oral cavity, smoothly flowed into Lu Ming’s body… Lu Ming could not help but shiver as if he had eaten an ice cube.

Then, there was still no reaction…

Huo Sheng could not help but scratch his head, ruthlessly tugging at the little hair he had left, and said, “This amount is simply not enough for you… Tianyu.”

After Huo Sheng finished speaking, Bai Tianyu took the initiative to step forward and place a briefcase in front of Lu Ming.

Lu Ming opened it and saw that it was filled with Tier 1 and Tier 2 zombie crystals. There were probably hundreds of them.

From this, it was evident how much Huo Sheng wanted Lu Ming to become an Awakened.

It also showed the tremendous pressure Huo Sheng faced with the appearance of a Level 4 zombie.

However, Lu Ming was no longer in a hurry.

After some thought, he asked, “After becoming an Awakened, the physical attributes will double, right?”

Huo Sheng nodded gently. “Under normal circumstances, yes.”

“So, it’s better to be stronger before becoming Awakened, right?”

After a moment of silence, Huo Sheng nodded again, “Yes.”

“In that case, I won’t rush.”

Currently, Zhang Chengcheng’s gravity superpower was a little outdated, but Lu Ming could still gain attribute points every day.

And the situation now was not a desperate one. It would be more profitable to brush up on attributes and then become an Awakened.

Huo Sheng thought about it and agreed, “I didn’t mean to rush you. You can decide on this matter yourself.”

Lu Ming immediately nodded, “Alright.”

After saying that, he immediately stood up and said seriously, “I should take an afternoon nap now.”

As he spoke, he turned around and prepared to leave. But at the doorway, Lu Ming turned back.

He picked up the briefcase containing the zombie crystals with one hand and the small centrifuge with the other.

He asked, “Can I take these things with me?”

Huo Sheng smiled and nodded. “They’re all yours.”

Becoming an Awakened was a significant event for Lu Ming.

However, it did not bring about much change to Lu Ming’s daily life.

Lu Ming was not in a hurry to become Awakened.

For Lu Ming, the greatest benefit of awakening was the doubling of his physical strength. With Lu Ming’s current three-dimensional attributes approaching 200 points, it was easy to imagine how powerful he would become if he doubled his strength.

However, the problem was that after the three-dimensional attributes doubled, Chengcheng’s superpower would likely no longer assist in training. Then, how would Lu Ming continue to farm his attributes every day?

Another issue was his appetite.

Lu Ming was now a big food tank. He had to eat at least ten kilograms of food for a meal! And he also had to provide for Zhang Chengcheng, a Level 3 Awakened one, whose appetite was not small either.

The food reserves at home could only last a few months with two big eaters. If Lu Ming awakened again and his appetite increased, it would not be long before he faced a food crisis.

So, Lu Ming thought that since he had the method and the awakening materials, it would be better to take it slow, strengthen his foundation, and awaken when he encountered problems he couldn’t handle.

After waking up from his afternoon nap, he gained all his attributes.

In the afternoon, Lu Ming climbed a high place, watched from afar to kill zombies, and farmed his skills. At night, he practiced his spearmanship and resistance stance with the Zhao father and son.

As he got busy, Lu Ming gradually forgot about the Level 4 zombie tentacle monster incident

Day 67 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Wednesday.

[Nothing happened.]

Today, Lu Ming’s fitness skills had reached Lvi8 (100/1800), and he gained some additional daily attributes.

Oh, right, there was another matter.

Yesterday, he took the zombie crystals and centrifuge from Huo Sheng. This morning, Lu Ming tried them out—he used the machine to split a Level 1 zombie crystal into two parts and absorbed one. Unfortunately, it was still ineffective.

It turned out that the quantity was indeed too little.

At night, Lu Ming ate an entire Level 1 zombie crystal.

Then, he had a good night’s sleep.

In short, Lu Ming once again confirmed one thing.

Zombie crystals were probably harmless to him.

Day 68 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Thursday.

Today was still uneventful. He ate well, slept well, and exercised well throughout the day.

The weather was beautiful. It was a perfect day.

Day 69 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Friday.

[Nothing happened.]

The Resistance Stance reached Level 10, earning 10 free attribute points.

He already had a total of 55 free attribute points.

He decided to save them up.

Three days later, on Day 72 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Monday.

At dawn this morning, the Zombie Kings led by Sima Xiao finally completed the assembly of the army.

Nearly one-twentieth of the zombies in the city were summoned by the seven Zombie Kings.

The massive army of zombies quietly gathered dozens of kilometers away from Good Hope Village. They were waiting for the command of the Zombie Kings to launch a full-scale attack, to recapture the sacred Holy Tower, and embrace the glorious evolution!

Today, the sky was covered in dark clouds.

Lu Ming woke up early and ate the noodles prepared by Chengcheng, and got ready to start today’s training.

But suddenly, he heard a piercing bell ringing coming from the gathering place.

The bell ringing was mixed with the terrified screams from the lookout!

“Zombie tide! It’s the zombie tide!!

“An endless sea of zombies!!

Lu Ming frowned and climbed up his watchtower, looking down from a high vantage point towards the distance.

He saw a vast horde of zombies in the distance, rushing towards them like waves.

They were like locusts.

The dust they raised was like a sandstorm.

The sheer number that could not be counted made Lu Ming’s heart sink.

“The big one is coming!”
