Chapter 40

The massive horde of zombies came fast and died fast.

With Lu Ming in charge, the situation remained under control.

Although there were still unavoidable zombies approaching, with Wang Xiong and Zhang Chengcheng covering him, it was just a close call.

Before midnight, before the start of a new day, everything settled down.

Carefully putting away his slingshot, Lu Ming looked down at Zhang Chengcheng.

After thinking for a moment, he said, “Come over at eight o’clock tomorrow morning. I have something to discuss with you.”

Zhang Chengcheng’s gravity superpower sparked an idea in Lu Ming.

He was concerned about his gym equipment wearing out too quickly and not providing enough resistance, but Zhang Chengcheng’s gravity superpower gave Lu Ming a new direction..

Zhang Chengcheng’s face lit up, but she quickly restrained herself.

“Sure, Brother Lu.”

She nodded obediently, turned around to face away from Lu Ming, but could no longer hide the joy on her face.

Lu Ming took the initiative to approach her.

What could it be?

Could it be…

No, no, no. That is a bit far-fetched, and things are progressing too quickly.

But regardless, the fact that Lu Ming took the initiative to look for her was a significant milestone.

It could mean that their relationship was on the fast track and driving together wasn’t far away…

As she indulged in her happy thoughts, Wang Xiong’s untimely voice interrupted.

“I think we’re really short on manpower.”

Wang Xiong walked over from the rear opening, looking at the floor covered in corpses, his head buzzing.

Well, that settled it.

There was no need to do anything else tomorrow. Just dealing with these bodies would keep the seven survivors busy for several days.

But all in all, today was a day to celebrate.

Two Awakened had advanced to Level 2, and the incoming zombie horde was defeated.

With these thoughts in mind, Wang Xiong knocked on the small fortress and called out Zhang Lixin and the others, signing with emotion.

“Brother Lu, you’re awesome!”

Tonight, there was no time for anything else.

Including Lu Ming, the eight people in the gathering place went back to their respective homes to rest, leaving everything for tomorrow.

After a pleasant sleep, Lu Ming opened his eyes.

He devoured twenty large buns in one go and let out a contented sigh.

He went up to the second floor and came to the windowsill to observe the street.

Wang Xiong had already started to clean up the streets with his men.

Zhang Chengcheng was standing below at Lu Ming’s house. She seemed to have spotted Lu Ming. Zhang Chengcheng looked up and waved hard at the dark window on the second floor.

“Brother Lu, you said yesterday that you were looking for me. Now I’m here.”

It was not known how long she had been standing at the door…

Lu Ming opened the window and said to Zhang Chengcheng, “Don’t you have anything to do today? I remember you saying that you’re planning to go back to the original gathering place to take a look and transport food.”

“No, no, our business can wait. Brother Lu’s matter is the most important.”

Since Lu Ming said he had something to discuss, everything else had to take a backseat.

Is food or the Zhang family’s gathering place more important than Brother Lu’s matter?

That was clearly not the case.

Zhang Chengcheng’s response made Lu Ming feel a little embarrassed.

He asked for her help, and she had put aside her own matters to assist him…

What a good person.

Lu Ming quickly said, “My matters can wait.”

Zhang Chengcheng: “My matters can wait also.”

If she can wait, then it’s fine…

Wang Xiong, who was moving the corpses, sighed silently.

There was really not enough food.

However, Lu Ming took Zhang Chengcheng’s words seriously.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ming said, “Alright, wait for me. I’ll come down right away.”

“Sure, Brother Lu.”

Picking up the barbells and dumbbells on the second floor, as well as the squat bench and other equipment, then Lu Ming went downstairs and came to the door.

Standing at the door, Lu Ming hesitated for a moment…

Should I go out or not?

If he wanted Zhang Chengcheng to assist him with his training, the two of them had to come into contact.

First of all, one thing was certain. Lu Ming would never let Zhang Chengcheng into his house, so he had to get out.

But it was the apocalypse outside… with zombies everywhere.

It was dangerous to go out, so he had to be cautious.

Moreover, the human heart was unpredictable. What if Wang Xiong and Zhang Chengcheng intended harm toward him when he went out? What should he do then?

Just as he was about to step out, Lu Ming felt that his decision was somewhat imprudent.

At that moment, the doorbell rang. Lu Ming checked the electronic screen and saw Zhang Chengcheng speaking, “Brother Lu, are you moving things? Do you need our help?”

“No need!”

He bluntly rejected Zhang Chengcheng’s offer of help.

Lu Ming heaved a long sigh.

“Let’s take a gamble.”

After a few days of interaction, Lu Ming felt that those people outside were all good people. There was a high probability that they did not harbor any ill intentions towards him. It seemed that they also did not have the ability to harm him.

As for the zombies outside, they were indeed terrifying, but as long as he stayed within 30 meters… no, within 10 meters of his home, he could quickly retreat inside if there was any danger.

Moreover, once Zhang Chengcheng’s superpower could solve the problems in his training, Lu Ming’s gains would undoubtedly be significant! For the sake of these benefits, Lu Ming felt that taking a little risk was worthwhile.

Lu Ming admitted that he was indeed taking a gamble.

But in the face of the apocalypse, it was necessary to take some risks.

“I’ll take the gamble!”

“Click, click, click, click, click.

The five locks were unlocked. As the gate swung open, the bright sunlight poured in, illuminating Lu Ming, as if he were draped in a golden veil.

Zhang Chengcheng, who was standing at the door, witnessed this scene in awe.

She looked at his chiseled face.

She looked at that sturdy figure.

She couldn’t help but tremble.

‘He truly deserves to be the man who can wield the hammer of Thor.’

Lu Ming arranged the equipment seven meters away from the front door.

Lu Ming tested it back and forth. After confirming that he could run back to the entrance within two seconds, open the door in three seconds, and be back home in five seconds, Lu Ming was somewhat relieved.

Turning around and facing the curious gazes of the others, Lu Ming nodded calmly.

“Hello, everyone.”

“Hello, Brother Lu!”

“Don’t call me Brother Lu. Just call me Lu Ming.”

“Sure, Brother Lu.”

The way they addressed him was not that important.

It was just that everyone was staring at him that made Lu Ming a little uncomfortable—Lu Ming had never been the one in the center of the stage, and he didn’t like that feeling either.

“Um, aren’t you all busy?”

Zhang Lixin came to a realization, and he quickly said, “Busy. We’re all very busy. Brother Lu, you chat with Chengcheng. We’ll get busy first.”

The others also came to a realization.

“You two keep chatting, we’re busy too.”

“Busy, we’re all busy.”

The “crowd” finally dispersed, leaving only Lu Ming and Zhang Chengcheng.

Zhang Chengcheng flicked her hair and said gently, “Brother Lu, what do you need from me?”

After a brief choice of words, Lu Ming said, “Your superpower is gravity, right?”

Zhang Chengcheng nodded.

“I want you to do me a favor. Use your superpower to assist me in my fitness training? What do you think?”

Just this small matter…

Also, you’re an Awakened. Is training really that important?

Is it more important than a beauty?

She was disappointed and puzzled, but on second thought, her doubts dissipated.

The reason why she could not understand Brother Lu’s actions was definitely because she was not at his level.

Zhang Chengcheng smiled and nodded. “Of course, no problem.”
