CH 4.1

Those days, when the apocalypse had just arrived, were the most chaotic. Human beings were caught off guard by this apocalyptic attack. There were zombies everywhere, the dark sky continued to snow and hail, and the weather was astonishingly cold.

Shen Chi took Shen Liu Mu to live in this small theatre for a week. He would go out to hunt zombies from time to time, and after a week, the income was not bad. From Shen Liu Mu’s waist hung a whip made of dried vines, which Shen Chi personally wove for him. In this amusement park, there are dead vines entangled at the top of the wall. As a wood type ability user, in fact, Shen Liu Mu’s best weapon is not a knife, but such a long wood-related whip.  Of course, only as a medium. Shen Liu Mu, who had absorbed a lot of crystal nuclei, could already instantly turn this small whip of dead vine into a long whip full of sharp barbs! Shen Chi looked at the miraculous appearance of the dried wood and had to say that the nature-related abilities were even more incredible than him, a person with game skills.

In the blink of an eye, the unremarkable dried vine whip grew green and stretched several times. If it was unexpected, the opponent would not be able to react to what was going on. This green whip was full of sharp barbs. Shen Liu Mu only needs to infuse a little energy, and those barbs will become deadly spikes. When encountering a zombie, the small stature Shen Liu Mu would quickly swing his whip on the zombie’s head. With a hand pull, it will be a green flash. The zombie’s head will fall off with a thud, showing how sharp those barbs are. If it happens to be a human being, as long as the whip gets wrapped around his throat, you can easily pierce the aorta and even cut off his head. 

Shen Liu Mu’s talent in this field is so outstanding that he doesn’t need Shen Chi to teach him at all. Shen Chi sighs that if he was in a peaceful world, Shen Liu Mu would probably be the chief/head of perverted murderers…

Initially, as long as Shen Liu Mu had this method, he would have enough ability to save his life. Nevertheless, Shen Chi was still training him to use a knife and even hid a small fruit knife in Shen Liu Mu’s little boots.

In the apocalypse, the abilities are not omnipotent, unlike Shen Chi. As long as he has the Tang man’s crossbow and arrow skills, he can always kill them. Tang man’s output only requires the value of the divine tool. There is no doubt about the endurance, but it has the moment when the ability is exhausted. It’s just like those in the game with inner strength, once the inner strength is exhausted, they are completely abolished, and the same is true for the ability.

Therefore, using a knife is the most basic skill. At least when the body’s power/ability is exhausted, it won’t be as bad as to not even have the strength to truss a chicken. 

This amusement park in Shanghai has become a sea of zombies, with zombies wandering everywhere and not a living soul in sight.

”Dad, I’m hungry.” Shen Liu Mu muttered while rubbing his stomach, not caring at all that his clothes and shoes were covered with blood.

If it was an ordinary child, perhaps it would be impossible for him to adapt to such an environment so quickly. However, Shen Liu Mu may be frightened up to now, but he has never felt dirty, yelled, tired or shed tears.

Shen Chi kicked the automatic beverage machine, hoping there was something good in it.

He prepared a lot of water, but Shen Liu Mu was in the process of growth, therefore it is best not to drink the water that has been contaminated. Although as an ability user he will not be infected because of the water, but in the end, it is still not good for the body. Wood ability is a very special ability. Shen Chi heard from Liu Mu in his previous life, that because of this ability, his body was very sensitive. Food was relatively okay, but regarding water, if it’s not clean, he will be very uncomfortable. It won’t do anything to him, but, after all, it will still cause him pain.

So these days, Shen Chi himself rarely drinks water, and even if he drinks, he would drink from snow, hail water and dew collected in plastic bags. Clean water was left to Shen Liu Mu.

He wished there were more drinks in this automatic beverage machine, even having a can of coffee is also good.

”Wait a minute!” Shen Chi has already begun to consider leaving this amusement park. Although there were many zombies here, and it was a good place to hunt, but there was no edible prey at all. Fortunately, there were many places to sell food in this amusement park. The weather was very cold. Most of the food was not bad, and can still be imported – most of it was just fast food, the nutrition was still not enough. Shen Chi began to consider whether to go to the Shanghai Wild Animal Park once. Although there were likely to be evolved beasts, it was not that dangerous for Shen Chi.

”Dad, look over there!” Shen Liu Mu suddenly spoke.

Shen Chi, who bent down to put all the drinks in the beverage machine into a canvas bag, looked up. In front of him was a restaurant in the amusement park, which could be said to be the best and most expensive one in the entire amusement park. Now the transparent floor to ceiling window has been broken, with a decadent atmosphere. 

Shen Chi’s heart moved. This restaurant may have some delicious things!

”Dad, I just saw a shadow!”

Shen Chi frowned, “Shadow?”

”Yes!” Shen Liu Mu affirmed, “I can’t be wrong, it must be a person running past. It seems to be a small child!”

Shen Chi listened to Shen Liu Mu’s old-fashioned tone and couldn’t help but say with a smirk, “Don’t forget you’re a child yourself!”

Shen Liu Mu curled his mouth in disdain, puffed up his chest and said, “I can already kill zombies!”

Shen Chi knocked his head, “Even if you can kill the zombies, you are still a child!”

After saying that, he picked up Shen Liu Mu and walked towards the restaurant.

There were several zombies wandering in the restaurant’s lobby, which were easily resolved by Shen Chi. When they went upstairs, they saw a few zombie corpses on the stairs.

”There really are survivors here.” Shen Chi said softly. 

Shen Liu Mu tightly hugged his neck, “Dad, is there someone else here?”

”Yeah.” Shen Chi regretted in his heart. Even if there was food in this restaurant, it would have already been occupied by these survivors. However, he didn’t know whether they were lucky or have foresight. In such a time of disaster, hiding in a place where there is food is undoubtedly a smart choice.

”Ah!” A loud scream broke the silence. Shen Chi looked up and saw a young girl in school uniform staring at him with wide eyes.

She looked no more than seventeen years old. Her face was still a little immature but bright and beautiful, her long straight hair tied in a mess behind her head. Her school uniform has long been messy. There were a few cuts in her skirt and could barely cover her underwear.

Shen Chi was not surprised. In the apocalypse, most of the little girls like her didn’t come to a good end. Not to mention women, good-looking men who do not have a certain amount of self-preservation, can only depend on others to survive. Their greatest value lies in their beautiful faces and bodies.

Humans are such creatures. The more they are under bad circumstances, the easier it is to return to their beast-like instincts.

Lin Xiaoyun looked at the young man in front of her, almost unable to hide her shock. At such a time, he came from outside, actually walking calmly, without the slightest look of panic on his face, wearing leather clothes, pants and boots, with leather gloves on his hands. Even apart from such terrible times, Lin Xiaoyun had never seen a more handsome and better-looking man than him. He was holding a very beautiful little boy, with a clean and fair little face, different from those dirty and crying children in this room. It’s a very precocious aura. If more than a week ago, she saw such a large and a small one, she would probably scream immediately, and then look for an opportunity to see if she could take a candid photo to upload to Weibo to show off. But now, she just feels ashamed.
