Rewriting My Fate in the Apocalypse-Chapter 144: Dangerous Child Zombies

"What’s there to worry about with a grown man? Such little injuries shouldn’t worry him." Li Yunjia replied to her daughter-in-law. This was a typical mother-in-law who had turned her daughter-in-law into a biological daughter and the biological son into a son-in-law.

However, Lu Zhen didn’t seem bothered by this at all. On the contrary, he was happy that his mother loved his wife like her own daughter. He didn’t have to worry about the issues other married men have to face with their mothers competing for their son’s attention with their wives.

"Sister-in-law, what was that all about? Why did you ask us to get back into the car?" Lu Tao asked but before Leng Pan could reply, Lu Zhen asked an important question.

"Do you think you could have defended against the attacks that could hurt me and your sister-in-law?"

Lu Tao thought about how as soon as they got into the car, Lu Zhen had become so bloodied and Leng Pan also had a bleeding arm and shook his head.

"Maybe not. I didn’t even see the attacks clearly. How could I defend against them?" Lu Tao replied to his brother after some thought.

In fact, the first attacks were indeed a surprise and no one had seen them. That was also why both Lu Zhen and Leng pan had gotten hurt. But the ones after that were anticipated so even the elders had seen some of them.

With his supervision, Lu Tao had seen more clearly from the moment the attacks were launched and followed their trajectory to the moment they were broken by his brother and sister-in-law.

In fact, from that fight, he had gained more than if he was fighting personally. He now understood how to counter superpower attacks with weapons without using his own superpowers. He didn’t possess an attacking or defense superpower anyway.

He had realised that even an ordinary person had the potential to fight against superpower users if they found the right weapon and momentum. For this, he admired his brother and sister-in-law.

"Why was that zombie so strong? It was different from the others. Even though it is my first time killing zombies, I managed to kill two or three and they weren’t that difficult to kill. Moreover, they didn’t seem to have superpowers. But the little boy could actually shoot out wind blades, how did he do that if he is a zombie?" Li Yunjia wanted to understand this issue.

She had always thought that only people had superpowers, but witnessing a zombie using superpowers had shattered that thought. What surprised her was that the zombie was just a child.

Child zombies are more dangerous and more powerful than adult zombies. I don’t know the logic behind it, i just know that if you don’t have enough strength and experience, it’s better to avoid them and run if you come across them.

They are dangerous and are a bit more difficult to distinguish than adult zombies. Moreover, having maternal instincts when you see a child zombie is the biggest mistake you could make. They are more cruel than other zombies, so don’t be soft-hearted just because you think it’s a child. That’s how you will die faster." Leng Pan decided to use her knowledge acquired from reading apocalypse novels to educate her family in case they made a mistake that could cost them their lives.

"When you say that they are difficult to distinguish, what do you mean?" Aunt Li asked while holding onto her husband’s hand.

She had been scared out of her wits by the fight between the zombies and her nephew and niece-in-law. She had not expected that fighting zombies could get so dangerous and cause so many injuries.

It was only when she witnessed that fight that she realized that she had been taking the apocalypse lightly. Now, she didn’t dare.

The few of them also understood why Leng Pan had insisted on not giving away their supplies to anyone even if they pretended to be pitiful. If this was what they had to go through every time they went out to collect supplies, then she would not give anyone even a sip of water.

The more supplies they had at home, the fewer times her family had to go out and risk their lives to collect more. If someone wants to eat and drink, they should also risk their own lives. It wasn’t fair that the supplies her nephews and niece-in-law got from suffering serious injuries and risking their lives are given to idle people who stay locked indoors and don’t dare to step outside.

Therefore, from that moment on, aunt Li became the most vocal person against giving out their supplies even to those starving. If one wants food and water, let them go out and fight zombies for it.

"You saw that zombie just now. Unlike others who have rotten flesh falling off, his skin is still intact. Even though it is ashen in color and looks like a corpse, it’s still whole. Moreover, even though his eyes cannot see, he could look as if he was focusing on someone or a place with his eyes.

Other zombies have their pupils disappear and their eyes turn completely white. But child zombies still have their pupils visible, although they are still blind and can only use their sense of smell and hearing. Their senses seem to be more acute than adult zombies as well.

Because of all these factors, you might ignore the fact that the child is a zombie and get tempted to get close and then, that’s your end.

You saw how powerful his attacks were. He is still at the first level and Ah Zhen and I had to combine our strength to fight it. Imagine if it advanced to the second level! What will happen then?" Leng Pan explained what she meant in detail and hoped that her family would be more careful in the future.

"I was wondering why it looked different, so it’s because child zombies are like that. Then won’t it be difficult to distinguish between real children and zombies in the future?" Lu Tao asked curiously.
