I Stack Attributes in the Apocalypse Chapter 4

Chapter 4

[A month after the Black Mist Incident in New York, the Tower Black Mist Incident also appeared in Nanxiang City, China.]

[According to the loss of contact in New York previously, I can confirm that the surroundings of the Southern Village should be sealed off by the black mist. Of course, because the terrain I’m at is low, and I shouldn’t be near the edge of the sealed area, I don’t see the black mist.]

[The power and water systems are temporarily intact, but the Internet and communications are cut off.]

Taking a sip of tea, Lu Ming observed the surroundings while jotting down notes.

[About three minutes after the tower appeared, zombies appeared outside.]

[According to observations, the first batch of mutated zombies are all old people. After mutating into zombies, the physical fitness of these old people has increased greatly, and their agility is comparable to an athlete. Within 100 meters, they can jump a distance of about 3 meters.]

[People who are bitten by zombies will also mutate into zombies. Please note, they don’t need to be bitten to death. As long as they are bitten, they will complete the mutation in ten seconds.]

After writing this, Lu Ming looked at the street again.

At this moment, the chaos on the street had ended. There were still sporadic roars in the residential area, but they were decreasing at a visible rate.

The zombies quickly swept through everything with their astonis.h.i.+ng athletic abilities and explosively infectious abilities.

Due to the astonis.h.i.+ng population density of Nanxiang City, the streets were filled with zombies.

The densely packed zombies were wandering unconsciously. They appeared to be dumbfounded and bewildered, but Lu Ming, who had seen them hunt with his own eyes, did not dare to underestimate them!

[Zombies have extremely strong explosive power. I saw with my own eyes the burly men who were pounced on by the Zombies. They could not break free from the shackles of the Zombies at all. Not only were they fast, but they were also strong.]

[At the same time, Zombies mainly rely on sound to hunt. Their vision is not good, and their sense of smell seems to be average, but their hearing is very sharp.]

[And my safe house uses five layers of soundproofing materials. After an experiment just now, I discovered that the sounds of normal activity inside the house do not seem to alarm the Zombies.]

So much for the preliminary observation record.

Lu Ming closed the notebook and took out a brand-new notebook that was even better than before.

Turning to the first page, Lu Ming wrote.

[A week of fitness plans and dietary arrangements.]

This time, Lu Ming wrote far more seriously than before.

…

[Reasonable fitness arrangements should follow the principle of balance between work and rest. It’s not good to train hard and add weight. You should try your best to provide sufficient time for the body to rest and recover.]

[At the same time, a large amount of consumption requires a significant intake of nutrients to replenish. Otherwise, it will not only fail to have the training effect but it may also deplete the body.]

If Lu Ming’s attribute farming plan was compared to a martial arts secret manual, then the two sentences above serve as the general outline of this martial arts secret manual.

Even if he did not know much, Lu Ming knew that fitness is 30% training, 70% nutrition, and 100% sleep.

He continued to write.

[Monday: Chest, arm.]

[Specific actions: Flatbed bench press, dumbbell bird, rope press…]

[Tuesday: Back, shoulders.]

[Specific actions: Deadlift, Seated Rowing, Seated Dumbbell Press, Barbell Front Press…]

[Wednesday: Leg, Core.]

[Specific actions: Weighted Squats, Leg Raises, Six-Pack Abs Workout…]

[Thursday: Rest.]

[Thursday is a rest day. Try to rest as long as your attributes are maxed out.]

[Friday: Repeat Monday.]

[Sat.u.r.day: Repeat Tuesday.]

[Sunday: Repeat Wednesday.]

[The specific dietary arrangements are mainly High Protein, Moderate Carbohydrates.]

[You have to take an afternoon nap every day and maintain eight hours of sleep at night.]

After completing this plan, Lu Ming carefully reviewed it once again and then proceeded to write it down in detail.

[Everything is about farming attributes. Even on a rest day, the daily attributes must be maxed out.]

[Considering that from now on, supplies cannot be replenished, the daily diet plan needs to be determined based on the quant.i.ty and variety of existing supplies.]

Today was different from the past. With the arrival of the apocalypse, Lu Ming could not buy supplies anymore. Going out was absolutely out of the question, and the meal plan also needed to be adjusted based on the current reality.

After he finished writing, Lu Ming nodded in satisfaction.

“That’s all for now.”

He opened the attribute panel.

Name: Lu Ming.

Age: 25 years old.

Strength: 5.8

Physique: 6.2

Agility: 6.

Skills:

Fitness Lv. 1 (0/100): Maximum attribute points obtained every day increased by 0.1 points.

“Do I actually have an additional skill?”

…

Lu Ming pondered for a moment and quickly guessed the reason for the skill.

Firstly, Lu Ming had indeed learned this knowledge during the day.

Secondly, he must have made a fitness plan tonight.

Actually, Lu Ming did not know much about this attribute panel. After thinking about it briefly, Lu Ming stopped thinking about the reason for the skill appearing and focused on the changes it brought to him.

Looking at the attributes of Fitness Level 1, Lu Ming couldn’t help but nod.

“It’s a good thing. A great thing.”

Through exercising to increase his attributes, there was a limit to the attribute points he could obtain every day. Previously, Lu Ming had deduced that this limit was 0.5, but now that the skill had appeared, the limit was 0.6.

There was indeed not much improvement.

However, since there was the word Lv. 1, it meant that skills could also increase levels. When the level was higher, the effect would clearly not be 0.1.

“Then, how should I increase the proficiency of my fitness skills?”

Lu Ming had the answer without thinking hard.

“Working out, of course.”

“Shall I try it first?”

With this thought in mind, Lu Ming yawned unconsciously.

It was already nine o’clock in the evening. After some thought, Lu Ming did not intend to continue exercising today.

“I’ve already finished farming today’s attribute points. I even moved heavy objects in the afternoon. Training requires a balance between work and rest. Let’s go to bed and rest for the day. We’ll talk about everything tomorrow.”

He got up, left the reading area, went downstairs, and walked into the bedroom.

Lu Ming’s bedroom door was also a specially reinforced high-intensity anti-theft door. He pulled open the door and walked into the bedroom. He turned around and locked the five locks on the door.

At this moment, the windows in the bedroom were also sealed with iron plates. Looking at the bedroom that was nearly 50 square meters, Lu Ming came to the bed and opened the secret door beside the bed.

The secret door led straight down. This was the entrance to the bas.e.m.e.nt.

After crawling down the stairs for about two meters, Lu Ming arrived at the bas.e.m.e.nt.

The s.p.a.ce in the bas.e.m.e.nt was even slightly larger than the first and second floors combined. There were more supplies, medicine, and a diesel generator and fuel stacked inside.

Lu Ming spent every night taking inventory of supplies, and today was no exception.

“Water, food.”

“The food is mainly canned food. There’s also a lot of canned meat, but the salt content is high.”

Salt was a great enemy of fitness. Eating too much salt would cause edema, which would cause swelling in some parts of the body.

Of course, Lu Ming’s intention of working out was not for body shaping, so it did not matter.

After confirming his materials reserves for the first time in the apocalypse, Lu Ming returned to the bedroom with a sense of security.

Stripping off his clothes, he got into bed.

Before long, Lu Ming fell asleep.
