After eating, Yun Xiaoxiao took a walk in her villa's courtyard to aid digestion.
She checked her CCTV system again, seeing no abnormalities around her house, she no longer paid it any mind.
She dozed off for about half an hour.
Then, she moved into the special dimension she possessed, continuing her physical endurance training.
This time, her running distance increased to two and a half kilometres.
She also practiced a set of boxing exercises.
Each physical training regimen was extended by five repetitions.
After her training, she was once again completely exhausted.
Just like a dead body, she plunged into the energy spring water.
After cleaning herself up, she popped calcium, zinc, and iron supplements into her mouth.
Her current wish was to grow taller as quickly as possible and leave the days of being petite behind.
Training needs to be gradual and not overly aggressive.
So while resting, Yun Xiaoxiao selected several books in her dimension.
All were medical books.
She thought, in her leisure time, why not learn some useful knowledge.
What if one day, she experiences a headache or uneasiness, she can self-diagnose.
Although superhumans had a better physique than ordinary people, it didn't mean they couldn't fall sick.
In her previous life, she was a superhuman with wood-based abilities.
At first, she didn't realize her abilities.
Even if you're gifted, you don't know when these abilities will be revealed.
Some people awaken their abilities at the brink of a catastrophe, while others might take a few months or even a year to fully awaken their abilities.
Everyone is different.
In her past life, her ability was awakened when she was pushed out to hold off the zombies by Yun Shaokai in the most dangerous moment.
Only because of her abilities was she able to evade the zombies' pursuit and wait for those villains to 'save' her.
However, at that moment, she didn't know she had abilities until she met her 'big brother' who helped her unlock them.
With his help, her abilities grew significantly stronger.
Thinking of this, a glint sparked in Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes.
She wondered where her 'big brother' was now.
After reading medical books for a few hours, Yun Xiaoxiao entered the dimension again.
She used every last bit of her time to continue training.
Only after she soaked in the energy spring did she go to sleep.
In the following two days, Yun Xiaoxiao's schedule was comprised of eating, training, reading medical books, and sleeping.
When she had spare time, she even built herself a large swimming pool.
These days were fulfilling and carefree.
Although her time passed in ease, the outside world was in chaos.
The police, fire department, and military forces were all out in full force to try and tame the situation, but it became worse and worse by the day.
Zombies were relentless killing machines that bit everything in their path, they were not afraid of guns, and they couldn't be injured or killed easily.
Only a headshot could kill them.
If a person was bitten or scratched, they would only continue to remain human for a few seconds to a few minutes, varying depending on individual physique.
Some police squads, on their way to saving others, didn't foresee their own demise. If one of them was bitten unknowingly, the rest of the team would follow suit.
The government buildings have fallen.
People finally realized that this was not a terrorist attack but a grand disaster that couldn't be stopped!
The higher-ups in Rong City issued an urgent notice, revealing the true situation to the public, asking everyone to fend for themselves.
Not only in Rong City, but across the nation and the whole world, people are dying every moment, every day.
Helplessness, despair, and carnage are being constantly enacted in different places.
"Whimper~ Is the government really going to abandon us, leaving us to fend for ourselves?"
"We ran out of food at home. Is there any kind soul who could send a little something our way? We have elderly and children at home. Please, we implore you, may good fortune follow the kindhearted."
"Help! Our apartment building's hallway is infested with zombies. They're banging on the door every day, it's terrifying! I can't take it anymore. I'm all alone at home and running out of food. If this continues, death is the only way out!"
"Folks, don't try to dissuade me. I'm going to fight the zombies to the death. It's either them or me. If it comes to it, I will bite them before I die, I won't be at a loss. I haven't tasted zombie flesh yet, damn it, I'm starving mad! Screw it!"
......
The moment the government's message was disseminated, everyone panicked.
The government had abandoned them.
They hadn't stocked up on food, and if it continued like this, death would be their only option.
As the saying goes, the risk-taker dies of overconfidence, the coward dies of hunger. If you don't risk it, you won't know how you die, ahem, no, you won't know your own strength.
Many brave ones, or those who simply ran out of food, grabbed kitchen knives, mops, rolling pins, hoes and such from their homes, shaking with fear as they opened their doors, ready to risk a venture outside for some food.
Some were immediately tackled by zombies the moment they stepped out.
Some, with hearts pounding, killed their first zombie.
Some discovered they possessed incredible powers and with this newfound joy, their courage grew, as did their ambitions.
Once a person hits rock bottom and desires kick in, they gradually lose their humanity.
Thieves breaking into homes, perpetrators of arson, murder, and torture – they were all present.
The internet, electricity, and water supply still hadn't been cut off yet.
When they do, the world will become even crazier.
When human decency completely vanishes, it signifies the official start of the apocalypse!
As for all of this, Yun Xiaoxiao learned from the internet.
However, she didn't invest much time in it.
Whether others lived or died, it didn't matter much to her.
She wasn't a savior and couldn't save everyone.
The only thing she currently needed to do was become stronger, stronger, and stronger still until she became indestructible, capable of defeating others.
Like this, another five days quickly passed.
During these days, she tried to use her special ability, but to no avail.
In the process, she wasted a crystal nucleus.
Aside from failing to unleash her special powers, she made great strides in other areas.
Thanks to the baptism of the Spiritual Spring Water, she can now run eight kilometers in a single breath.
She can manage one hundred sets of physical exercises in a row.
Her punches are much more destructive.
Overall, she has become stronger and more agile.
The only thing that hasn't changed is her height.
Yun Xiaoxiao stared at her short legs in the mirror, puffing out her cheeks. When will she grow taller?
She decided to channel her frustration into her appetite!
Because she worked out four times a day, almost all the food she consumed was digested, and her appetite grew by the day.
She moved to the dining table and picked up the dishes one by one.
Braised prawns, steamed fish, sweet and sour pineapple pork, cola chicken wings, boiled broccoli, and mushroom scallop winter melon soup...
While enjoying a delicious meal, an unusual sound suddenly came through the surveillance.
Hearing this, Yun Xiaoxiao abruptly looked up towards the surveillance video.
These past few days, a zombie or two had occasionally made it to the outside of the house, but they were instantly fried by the electric grid on the walls.
She thought it was another zombie, but unexpectedly, this time it was not a zombie... but a person!
