She rubbed her eyes and took small steps as she walked out.

"Little Alice, do you know someone named Fan Bing?" Renault patted the little girl’s head. She was probably this tired from being overly excited about killing zombies yesterday.

Little Alice blinked and nodded. "Uh-huh, I know him. He’s Fan Bing brother from next door."

"Little Alice!" Fan Bing had just come upstairs, his face lighting up in delight at seeing the girl.

Alice turned her head and slowly approached him, then demanded, "You’re still alive? Why didn’t you come to find me?"

"Hell, you little brat! And now you’ve dyed your hair? Really something, huh?"

"This isn’t dyed. It’s because I’ve evolved! Renault brother helped me evolve!"

"Evolve?" Fan Bing was confused, his mind in a whirl.

What is evolution? I’ve never heard of it before!

"Here, look!"

Alice held out her hand, and a white ice spike formed in her palm, floating in mid-air.

Fan Bing’s mouth went from a "…" to a wide "O."

"Holy crap, what’s this? That’s amazing!"

Guo Haoyu just happened to be walking downstairs, holding a pot of porridge and grumbling, "What’s all the noise? Time to eat."

Soon, everyone was seated around the large couch in the living room, each holding a bowl of porridge.

Fan Bing couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked Renault, "Boss Renault, Big Boss, how did Alice evolve?"

"There are many ways to evolve. The fastest and most effective is through external help."

"External help?"

Seeing Fan Bing’s puzzled look, Renault shook his head and said, "Let’s see how our luck is today. If we’re lucky, I can help you evolve."

Fan Bing’s eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Like little Alice?"

"No, everyone evolves differently. The abilities they get vary."

Renault said this and then focused on eating his porridge.

"I’m done! Renault brother, when are we leaving?"

Alice put down her empty porridge bowl, looking at Renault with eager anticipation.

Without thinking, Renault handed the keys to the Range Rover to Alice and said, "Go wait in the car. We’ll be right there."

Fan Bing glanced between Alice and Renault and couldn’t help but ask, "Where are you guys going?"

"We’re going to the Xishan City Base. Haoyu’s family might be there."

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Renault wiped his mouth and then put on the leather jacket that was draped over the couch. Guo Haoyu did the same, grabbing a fire axe and following behind Renault.

"Hell, don’t leave me behind. Can’t we go together?"

"Then hurry up."

Soon, everyone got in the car. Renault and Guo Haoyu sat in the front, while Alice and Fan Bing sat in the back.

The car drove along the road toward the military district.

...

Not far away, in the zombie horde.

A particularly strong and muscular zombie let out a low roar, and the surrounding zombies immediately stepped aside to make way for it.

Scenes like this were beginning to appear all over the world.

People were learning one thing: zombies had evolved!

From their most basic state, they were becoming stronger, with greater strength and faster speed!

Renault drove the Range Rover through the zombie horde.

Thankfully, the gas tank was full. With one press of the accelerator, the car’s exhaust roared to life.

**Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing three Black Iron zombies. You have gained 3 experience points!**

**Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing two Black Iron zombies. You have gained 2 experience points!**

Fan Bing looked nervously at the zombies outside the window.

He was worried about whether the thin tempered glass could withstand the zombies’ attacks. Fortunately, there was no problem.

"Oh my god, what’s that?"

Taking a deep breath, Fan Bing looked outside and exclaimed in shock.

A massive zombie was moving quickly through the horde, heading straight for the Range Rover.

Due to its size, it stood out among the other zombies.

Renault glanced over and was surprised.

Bronze zombies weren’t supposed to appear until the seventh day. It was only the third day—how could one show up so soon?

Either way, he couldn’t let this opportunity pass.

"I’m going out for a bit. Wait here for me."

Renault stopped the car, pulled out his **Zhanmadao**, and prepared to fight the zombie.

"I want to go too!"

Little Alice pressed her hands against the car window, looking pitiful.

"Go? You want to die?"

Fan Bing looked at the zombie, and his fear surged again. He couldn’t imagine what would happen if that zombie got too close.

"No way! I killed seven zombies yesterday. Don’t look down on me, Fan Bing!"

"Seriously? You killed zombies?"

"Of course! I’m really strong now!"

Alice raised her hand, and a white frost began to form. Her face even showed a hint of excitement, eager to get started.

"But Renault…"

Fan Bing suddenly realized something. He turned to look outside the car.

If even little Alice could kill zombies, didn’t that mean Renault was even more powerful?

Not far away, Renault drew his **Zhanmadao** from its scabbard and brought it down on the approaching zombie with a single strike!

Renault had been using the **Zhanmadao** for days now, and it was still as sharp as ever.

**Hiss!**

The massive zombie caught Renault’s scent and let out a low roar. The zombies surrounding him scattered.

Renault looked at the evolved Bronze zombie, his confusion growing.

If the first zombie evolution was happening earlier, did that mean the apocalypse’s timeline was accelerating?

He couldn’t be sure, so he stopped thinking about it.

At that moment, the Bronze zombie raised its sharp claws and slashed toward Renault.

"Claws? Really?"

The Claw Zombie was a type of Bronze zombie, and its evolution ability was its sharp claws.

A Bronze-level Claw Zombie’s claws were as hard as metal, capable of easily breaking glass.

Renault quickly sidestepped, moving with speed far beyond the Bronze level, giving the Claw Zombie no time to react!

**Slash!**

In a split second, Renault maneuvered behind the zombie and struck!

One clean slash, and the zombie’s head flew off.

The move was seamless, executed in one fluid motion!

**Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing one Bronze zombie. You have gained 10 experience points and one evolution crystal!**

**Hiss, hiss!**

The surrounding zombies roared and lunged at Renault.

But Renault wasn’t interested in wasting energy on them. After casually cutting through a few zombies to clear a path, he walked back to the Range Rover.

Fan Bing was in a daze, still replaying the moment when Renault had taken down the powerful zombie with a single slash.

Since when were zombies as easy to kill as cabbages?

Watching Renault return to the driver’s seat and start the car, Fan Bing snapped out of it.

"Boss Renault… Could I be your disciple? I want to kill zombies too!"

Fan Bing’s eyes burned with determination, full of ambition.

Renault: "No."

Alice: "No!"

A bucket of cold water instantly doused his enthusiasm. The fire was extinguished.
