I Stack Attributes in the Apocalypse-Chapter 22

Chapter 22

Day 11 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Wednesday, Leg Training Day.

Early in the morning, after getting everything ready, Lu Ming saw Wang Xiong and Zhang Lixin leaving the house.

Ignoring them, he started his leg workout.

After two hours of high-intensity exercise, Lu Ming’s attributes became:

Strength: 14.7 (15.5) ↑.

Physique: 15.2 (16) ↑.

Agility: 16.7 (17.5) ↑.

Fitness Lv3 (150/300).

The additional 0.4 points in agility were the result of yesterday’s increase in archery skill level, providing attribute gains.

As for skill proficiency:

Slingshot Shooting Lv8 (98/700).

Crossbow Shooting Lv2 (5/200).

Archery Lv4 (108/400)

Hand-to-hand Combat Lv4 (12/400).

Cold Weapon Combat Lv6 (215/600).

With sore legs, Lu Ming cooked and ate. Just as he was done, he heard the doorbell ring again.

Letting out a deep sigh, Lu Ming got up and went to the door. He opened the electronic screen and saw Wang Xiong’s sweaty smiling face.

“Brother Lu, we have two more people in our safe zone today. Look, two beautiful ladies.”

He turned to the side, revealing two stunning figures.

Lu Ming did not pay attention to the women.

He was just full of question marks, wondering:

Safe zone? What safe zone? Where is there a safe zone!?

Wang Xiong, who was standing outside the door, naturally could not see Lu Ming’s expression. He continued to introduce them self-absorbedly.

“This tall beauty’s name is Yu Fei. She was in the self-media before the apocalypse.”

“This short, cute lady’s name is Bai Lu. She’s a teacher at the nearby elementary school.”

The two beauties each had their own characteristics.

Yu Fei was in her early 20s, was tall and slender. At 1.7 meters tall, she was roughly estimated to be less than 100 pounds. Most importantly, she had the right curves in the right places, especially her long legs that were exceptionally eye-catching.

Bai Lu, on the other hand, was a little short, measuring less than 1.6 meters. Despite that, she had a youthful appearance and ample bosom, exuding a unique charm.

However, Lu Ming believed that women would only slow down his progress in becoming stronger!

He did not even look at Yu Fei and Bai Lu. He just stared at Wang Xiong on the display screen before finally speaking.

“So, what’s the matter?”

Hearing Lu Ming’s response, Wang Xiong grinned. “It’s fine, it’s fine. I’m just here to familiarize myself with my brother. We’ll be neighbors in the safe zone, so it’s good to know each other for mutual support.”

Lu Ming: “???”

“Please don’t bother me with such things in the future, alright?”

Lu Ming finally couldn’t bear it anymore.

“Coming every day… Those who understand will know that you’re enthusiastic, and those who don’t will think that this is your house!”

Wang Xiong was a little anxious when he heard that. “Brother Lu, this is not a trivial matter. With more people in our safe zone, we’ll have greater strength. It’s a crucial matter for our future.”

So what exactly is that safe zone you’re talking about?!

Lu Ming was about to complain when Wang Xiong changed the topic. “Besides, Brother Lu, you stay at home every day and don’t know the situation outside. I come to chat with you every day and tell you about the outside world.”

“What’s this equivalent to? This is equivalent to DY or WeChat Moments before the apocalypse, right? No matter how nerdy a person is, he has to have a channel to understand the world, right? At the very least, Lu Ming, don’t you want to know what the zombies outside have evolved into?”

Speaking of evolved zombies, Lu Ming’s expression became serious.

There was indeed a need to understand this.

“So, the zombies outside have evolved again?”

Wang Xiong laughed. “Not really, I walked two streets today and didn’t encounter those giant zombies from before.”

Lu Ming: “???”

However, I have a vague feeling that the zombies seem to be more active.”

“Brother Zhang and I went out this morning…”

Wang Xiong spoke without any intention of stopping.

However, this time Lu Ming did not feel impatient.

Just as Wang Xiong had said, Lu Ming was being a little narrow-minded by relying on observation holes to observe the outside world. With Wang Xiong’s big mouth introducing the outside world, although Lu Ming felt that it was troublesome, after deep thought, he considered it necessary.

…

About half an hour later, Lu Ming interrupted Wang Xiong’s nagging.

“I’m going to take a nap.”

“Sure, Brother Lu, rest up.”

Smacking his lips, he didn’t express satisfaction, but he had to stop.

Leaving Lu Ming’s house with Yu Fei and Bai Lu, they walked on the street until Yu Fei spoke, “Brother Wang…”

Wang Xiong quickly waved his hand, “Just call me Wang Xiong.”

Yu Fei said politely, “Alright, Wang Xiong. the person just now, is he the Brother Lu Ming you mentioned?”

Wang Xiong nodded and said with some emotion, “That’s Brother Lu. We’re in the safe area of Good Hope Village. I’m in charge of external affairs and Brother Lu is in charge of internal affairs. I’m responsible for working outdoors, and Brother Lu is responsible for protecting the safety here.”

“In our safe zone, we can’t do without Brother Lu.”

Hearing Wang Xiong’s words, Yu Fei and Bai Lu’s expressions immediately turned solemn.

They could not forget that just this morning, when the two of them were blocked by zombies, it was Wang Xiong who descended from the sky like a divine godsend and saved them from danger.

The two women were extremely impressed by Wang Xiong—because no one dared to fight a zombie, except Wang Xiong.

He could even handle ten of them at once!

They felt so safe to be by this man’s side.

On the way back, they heard Lu Ming’s name from Wang Xiong and became interested in him as well.

Bai Lu murmured, “But it seems that Brother Lu doesn’t like to chat with people.”

Yu Fei nodded in agreement.

She even felt that Bai Lu’s words were an understatement.

It was more than just not liking to chat with people.

Yu Fei felt that there was something off about Brother Lu—how could someone chat without even showing his face? In this day and age, you have to show your face in online chats…

In short, it was very strange.

Wang Xiong waved his hand.

“Aren’t people allowed to have quirks?”

Bai Lu smiled gently. “Brother Wang, you don’t have any.”

Wang Xiong: “That’s because you don’t know me well.”

“Anyway, today, I’ll introduce you to the place, and show your faces to Brother Lu. In the future, when I’m outside, if there’s any danger here, you won’t have trouble finding the place.”

Yu Fei and Bai Lu nodded repeatedly.

It was not until they reached the door of the safe house that Yu Fei suddenly spoke.

“By the way, Brother Wang, is Brother Lu also an Awakened?”

Wang Xiong nodded.

“Then how is his strength compared to yours?”

Wang Xiong was not sure about that…

However, when it came to strength, Wang Xiong considered himself not inferior to others, especially as a young person with a competitive spirit. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Brother Lu specializes in long-range attacks with a slingshot, and his accuracy is incredible. But when it comes to physical fitness and close combat, I believe I am stronger.”

Yu Fei and Bai Lu were enlightened. “So Brother Wang is stronger then?”

Wang Xiong smiled shyly, accepting the flattery of the two beauties.

“But we can’t compare it that way.”

“Just as I said earlier, I handle external affairs and Brother Lu takes care of internal matters. In our safe zone, Brother Lu’s abilities are also crucial.”

“Of course, Brother Zhang, Sister Meng, Li Gang’s family of three, and the other two are also very important.”

Just as the door to the safe house opened, Meng Jie waved at Wang Xiong.

“My research on the giant zombie has yielded results.”
