After the rescue team evacuated a large number of survivors from the Jiangnan City District, Lu Chuan was finally able to relax and not have to keep an eye on the district every day. Life returned to its usual state.

He left his physical body at the well-defended Qingshui Farm, practicing the Blood Evil Blade Technique daily.

After this period of cultivation, his combat skills had improved considerably. Although he hadn't reached the level described in the cultivation technique, his combat power had significantly increased compared to before.

It was precisely by controlling Lightning One in the Jiangnan City District and using the power of the Blood Evil Blade Technique that he effortlessly killed two formidable Evolvers.

Lu Chuan was confident that if he continued to cultivate in this way, he might indeed achieve the miraculous state described in the cultivation technique.

Outside of this, Lu Chuan's life was like that of a diligent farm owner, inspecting the vegetable fields daily, strolling in the orchard...

Although Zhao Lin could chat with Little Qiqi, Lu Chuan wasn't comfortable letting Little Qiqi spend too much time with this woman.

So every day, he still personally accompanied the little one for a period of time.

Thanks to the Corpse Puppets' constant clearing, the mountains and forests near Qingshui Farm had been mostly cleared of dangers.

After taking the little one on a walk around the farm each day, Lu Chuan would then take him for a couple of rounds around the outskirts of Qingshui Farm.

In his free time, Lu Chuan also needed to tend to the growth of the farm's plants, and fortunately, these plants grew normally according to his memory.

With the rescue team and a large number of survivors relocated, Lu Chuan no longer had to handle the Corpse Puppets in the Jiangnan City District as cautiously as before.

He began to massively transport various supplies, while a large number of Corpse Puppets flooded into the district, searching for those leftover Evolved Zombies.

Without interference from human Evolvers, Lu Chuan's life returned to normal, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

...

Swish, swish, swish!

The figures of Lu Chuan, 'Lightning Two,' and 'Lightning Three' flickered continuously on the farm's open ground.

Sparks flew as long blades clashed, and after a few moves, Lu Chuan knocked the long blades out of the hands of both 'Lightning Two' and 'Lightning Three,' causing them to retreat repeatedly.

"Not bad, not bad, this Blood Evil Blade Technique is indeed powerful!"

Seeing the fruits of his recent training, Lu Chuan nodded in satisfaction.

After this period of training, Lu Chuan's blade technique had improved further, allowing him to repel the attacks of two second-tier agile zombies head-on.

"Hmm? Oh..."

Just as he was putting away his steel blade, Lu Chuan suddenly felt a change in one of the Corpse Puppets he controlled.

He quickly ran to the vegetable field and approached a Corpse Puppet that was hoeing the ground.

After examining the Corpse Puppet in front of him for a long time, Lu Chuan couldn't figure out what was happening.

"What's going on? These ordinary zombies can actually evolve?!"

Just a moment ago, while Lu Chuan was honing his blade technique against second-tier zombies, he suddenly felt that he had gained a new first-tier Evolved Zombie.

This surprise prompted Lu Chuan to quickly come and check.

"Weren't these zombies only able to evolve during the Blood Moon? How is it that new Evolved Zombies are appearing after the Blood Moon has ended long ago?"

At this time, Lu Chuan was stunned by the unexpected situation unfolding before him.

Could it be that zombie evolution wasn't caused by exposure to the Blood Moon that night?

He had thought that zombies that didn't evolve that night would never have the chance to evolve.

Was his assumption wrong?

Scratching his head, Lu Chuan carefully recalled his own memories of evolution.

It seemed that he felt something entering his body, like a strange energy, after which he blacked out and began his evolution journey.

Could it be that the Blood Moon brought not just its peculiar moonlight, but a special energy dispersed in the air?

Lu Chuan recalled the Crystal Cores in the brains of the Evolved Zombies and the Mutated Giant Beasts, which seemed to be the products of energy accumulation.

"So it seems... the evolution of zombies is actually caused by the accumulation of energy leading to a breakthrough."

"And after the night of the Blood Moon, a lot of special energy remained in the air, and it's very possible that this energy did not disappear with the Blood Moon!"

A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Lu Chuan's eyes, his bold hypothesis filling him with joy.

If it were indeed as he speculated, wouldn't that mean that even after the Blood Moon disappeared, these ordinary zombies could still successfully evolve?!

"Hahaha! This is great, now there's no need to worry about the dwindling number of Evolved Zombies."

Currently, the number of Evolved Zombies being found by the Corpse Puppets in the Jiangnan City District is decreasing, which worried Lu Chuan since his evolution depended on Crystal Cores.

But now there was no need to worry; over time, the number of Evolved Zombies would only increase.

"Dad, I'm hungry!"

Just as Lu Chuan was inspecting the first-tier Corpse Puppet in front of him, Ji Ruxue came running over from a distance.

The little one now reached up to Lu Chuan's knee.

Since arriving at Qingshui Farm, the little one could drink meat porridge every day and eat fresh fruit, her face becoming ever rounder.

Subtly, she was showing signs of becoming a chubby little girl.

Seeing Little Qiqi before him, Lu Chuan couldn't help but recall the survivors evacuated days before, all of whom had lost considerable weight and were starving to the point of becoming skin and bones.

If it weren't for assistance from the Survivor Base, those survivors would likely starve to death, even if they weren't eaten by zombies.

Lu Chuan smiled and nodded, then quickly walked towards the kitchen.

As he prepared a meal, he looked out the window, watching the little princess running freely in the fields.

Over this period, the little one had grown; she was no longer the baby who could only lie in bed, and she could even run freely in the rustic countryside.

"If ordinary zombies can evolve, doesn't that mean Little Qiqi could become an Evolver?"

If the air truly was filled with special energy, as he speculated, then there was no reason why only zombies could evolve while humans couldn't.

Lu Chuan was constantly concerned about the little one's safety.

If anything happened to him in the future, it would be almost impossible for the little one to survive healthily in the apocalypse.

He tried to provide Little Qiqi with a stable and healthy environment for growth, which was also one of the reasons Lu Chuan sought to continuously evolve.

After all, only with sufficient strength could one survive in this chaotic apocalypse.

As the saying goes, give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. Even if he tried his best to protect Little Qiqi, unforeseen events could still happen.

But if Little Qiqi could become a powerful Evolver herself, then even if Lu Chuan wasn't around in the future, the little one could still have the ability to protect herself.
