The Qingshui Farm was littered with zombies that had already died long ago; however, these once bloodthirsty monsters had transformed under Lu Chuan's control into diligent laborers.

Even though the main workforce consisted of cold corpses, it brought the abandoned Qingshui Farm back to life.

Under Lu Chuan's arrangements, the once desolate farm was now thriving with vitality, presenting a scene of prosperity.

Once everything on the farm was properly arranged, Lu Chuan remembered that he had two Crystal Cores left by second-tier mutated animals.

Earlier on the journey, worried about possible accidents, Lu Chuan hadn't let 'Er Pang' consume these Crystal Cores midway.

Now that everything was ready, it was a good time for 'Er Pang' to attempt a breakthrough to the third-tier Evolved Zombie.

If it could break through to the third tier, the combat power of the entire farm would rise another level.

Lu Chuan, full of anticipation, handed these two orange Crystal Cores to 'Er Pang' to swallow.

Quickly, a powerful surge of energy emanated from 'Er Pang'.

Roar!

As expected, with the energy provided by these two Mutated Giant Beast Crystal Cores, 'Er Pang' successfully advanced to a third-tier zombie.

The oppressive force was so powerful that many nearby zombies couldn't help but tremble, with a glimpse of terror in their eyes.

Crack! Crack!

The sound of bones shifting came from within 'Er Pang'.

Lu Chuan widened his eyes, shocked to see that after breaking through to the third tier, 'Er Pang's size became even larger than before, as if inflated!

This sudden growth in size was almost comparable to a truck!

Simply standing in the open space, 'Er Pang's' powerful presence was enough to intimidate all around!

Lu Chuan manipulated 'Er Pang' to test its strength, finding that the power increase after reaching the third tier was truly terrifying!

Squeak~

'Er Pang' exerted both arms effortlessly lifting the heavy truck on the ground!

This strength was far superior to before the advancement.

The metal rod, over three meters long and weighing over a ton, that lay to the side was now wielded by 'Er Pang' with ease!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The swirling wind from the long rod swept everywhere.

The silver afterimage of the long rod even appeared mid-air, such terrifying power made Lu Chuan feel a bit panicky.

As a Tank Type zombie focused on defense, breaking through to the third tier, 'Er Pang' actually began growing scales!

These scales were dark black, resembling high-strength alloy, and covered 'Er Pang's entire body, making it look like a giant warrior clad in heavy armor!

Lu Chuan took a machete to test it, these scales could be considered impenetrable, no matter hacking or stabbing, it couldn't pierce through, only leaving slight abrasions on these robust protective scales!

Lu Chuan patted these scales with a hand, the robust defense was truly astonishing.

"With this terrifying armor, as long as the head isn't hit, 'Er Pang' is practically invulnerable, even capable of blocking bullets."

"Now, 'Er Pang' has directly become the main battle tank in the Zombie Realm!"

This third-tier general guarding the farm gate gave Lu Chuan a great surge in confidence.

Looking from afar towards the farm entrance, 'Er Pang' almost blocked the whole gate, plus a three-meter-long thick metal rod, truly resembling an immensely powerful Gate God!

'Er Pang's' breakthrough to the third tier showed Lu Chuan a new path to becoming stronger.

"In the future, I can hunt more Evolved Zombies and Mutated Animals, and save the Crystal Cores I don't need for these Corpse Puppets."

"Since high-tier zombies are rare, I'll cultivate my own!"

Whether high-tier Mutated Animals or high-tier zombies, the number is indeed scarce at this early stage post-apocalypse.

Although Lu Chuan doesn't fully understand this strange post-apocalypse yet, based on his experiences so far, he can guess that his own evolution speed has been quite fast.

To break through, one can only absorb same-tier Crystal Cores, yet this method of increasing strength is inefficient.

So instead of that, he would slay a large number of low-tier zombies and Mutated Giant Beasts, using these relatively easily obtainable Crystal Cores to feed his Corpse Puppets.

Since there are no high-tier zombies, I'll just use Crystal Cores to elevate these low-tier Corpse Puppets to high-tier zombies!

Having a group of high-tier Evolved Zombies is a completely different concept from a group of common zombies.

The formidable combat power shown by 'Er Pang' after advancing to the third tier made Lu Chuan realize the importance of high-tier zombies.

If he could have a few third-tier Corpse Puppets, their powerful combat capability would be enough to surpass an army of ordinary Corpse Puppets.

Lu Chuan was quite confident that if he had over a hundred third-tier Corpse Puppets now, he wouldn't even fear encountering a real human army.

Of course, this is under the premise of using conventional weapons.

Lu Chuan was momentarily filled with anticipation for the future, believing that he could definitely establish an extremely strong force in time.

The thought alone, with hundreds of high-tier Evolved Zombies behind, brought a smile to Lu Chuan's face.

After all, with sufficient strength, he could ensure the safety of Little Qiqi.

"Oh no! I almost forgot! The corpses of that Mutated Golden Python and Giant Bull haven't been dealt with yet!"

Lu Chuan spent an entire day and night busying with farm affairs.

Now that all his tasks were done, Lu Chuan suddenly remembered the bodies of the Mutated Giant Beasts.

He had previously slain two second-tier Mutated Giant Beasts, although he retrieved the Crystal Cores, the bodies remained unattended.

If not processed in time, these precious flesh could spoil over time.

Even though zombies can devour rotten meat without issue, Lu Chuan still wanted to save this meat for Qiqi to consume.

Should his experiment show that human consumption of these Mutated Animals' flesh is possible, Qiqi's future menu could become less monotonous.

He could then prepare a variety of meat dishes for the little one to enjoy, instead of having to eat fried rice with eggs every day.

Every day, eating fried rice with eggs, not only Qiqi was tired of it, even Lu Chuan felt like he was smelling of it now...

Moreover, Lu Chuan found that there was a generator in the farm, and there was stored oil in the warehouse for power generation.

The refrigerator was large enough to temporarily freeze and preserve this meat.
