Chapter 19 - CHAP-17: THE WHOLE FAMILY

"This morning at 6:55 Thanks to Brother Alex guidance yesterday, I successfully got food from outside and came back. I got a total of twenty packs of instant noodles, one 4.5L barrel of water, ten packs of bread, five packs of ham sausages, and seven chocolate bars. My dad and my stepmother said I did a good job. My younger brother said if he went out, he would definitely get more than me and only take cheap things."

"This morning at 7:30am My younger brother is now insisting on going out, and my dad wants me to go with him. I really don't know what to say. It's really dangerous outside, and I don't want to go out again."

"Today at 7:42 I'm going out again. My dad said to take advantage of the fewer people now to get more things. He told me to take my younger brother and bring back more supplies. I'm leaving now. Wish me luck, everyone!"

Ashira read her three consecutive posts. The comments below her posts exploded. A group of people praised her, a group cursed her younger brother, and another group asked her for advice. Ashira casually glanced through them. The young girl in her private messages also sent her many messages, but she didn't leave any more comments, only saved the post. Just treating it as a live broadcast.

After watching the show, she went back to exercise.

During the 10 day strengthening period, every minute must be seized!

As usual, she first ran long distances around the edge of the Base, warming up while inspecting her territory, checking if there were any abnormalities around, and if the traps she set were damaged. After confirming there were no abnormalities at all, she returned to the Base to continue her physical training.

Every movement was trained to the extreme. Within 3 minutes, her entire body started sweating profusely.

After 5 minutes, her entire body was drenched in sweat. The pain in her muscles all over her body made her constantly feel like she was on the verge of her limit. A Breakthrough!

Ashira tried to persevere for one more second in every set of training. Fortunately, what she practiced was the most scientific and effective. She also arranged appropriate rest time between each set, so as not to train herself into a wreck.

It was through this almost ascetic, abnormal training process that her physical fitness increased most effectively.

She trained for 5 hours. As usual, after finishing this training session, she took a hot shower and then ate the rice cooker full of rice covered with ten packs of prepared meals.

There was consumption and input; she ate a lot and digested a lot. This was the process of energy transforming rapidly within her body. All of this had to become a part of her strong physique!

When ash opened her computer this time, she saw that there was a new update on the post she had saved. And it was posted just a minute ago.

"I'm really going crazy! I brought my younger brother back after so much hardship. Several times on the way, I was almost killed because of him. Fortunately, there really weren't many Zombies on that road. We came back, but after coming back, I found that he had a wound on him! He just refused to say anything, but when his younger sister found his finger was black, he said he was accidentally scratched by a Zombie's claw! What should I do now?!"

There was also a picture below this post.

It showed her younger brother's finger had been bitten through the skin, and the skin had already turned purplish-black. Netizens in the comments quickly told her that he would mutate and to kick him out.

Ashira also sent her a comment. "Kill him, quickly!"

After she sent this comment, she quickly received a reply.

"Brother alex, you're finally here! I just showed the netizens' suggestions to my dad and stepmother. My dad and stepmother chopped off his finger. They said the injured area was small and he would be fine."

When Ashira saw this, she wanted to curse them for being idiots.

"Leave quickly! Hurry!" After she sent this message, she never received a reply again.

Ash held her spoon and stared at the screen for a full 15 minutes, waiting for a message even as a spoonful of rice grew cold.

The time for Zombie mutation is between 1 and 10 minutes. Those with poor bodies mutate in about a minute, while those with strong bodies and willpower can last for about 10 minutes.

And cutting off the bitten part is simply a joke! The Zombie virus will immediately merge into the blood, rapidly contaminating the entire body, leaving no chance for survival!

Ashira could almost predict the outcome for that girl. Her younger brother would first start with rapid breathing, followed by his entire body turning black, cold, and stiff for about 10 seconds.

If they killed him at this moment, they could still survive. But her biased father and the stepmother who doted on her younger brother would definitely not let her touch him.

Their hesitation for those 10 seconds would allow them to reunite in hell with him. Ash shook her head, completely closed the forum in front of her, found a more lighthearted family drama, and watched it while eating.

It wasn't that she hadn't offered that girl help. If only she had listened to her, hidden in the convenience store from the beginning, completely cut ties with those people, or forcefully killed her younger brother.

She wouldn't have been trapped like this. But 99% of people in this world are like this. They cannot break free from the net that oppresses them. Even if they feel strong reluctance, they will still jump into their own fiery pit without hesitation. As foolish as she was in her previous life.

Fortunately, she could never repeat the same mistakes in this life. Whoever dared to oppress her, she would kill them. Acting willfully, doing whatever she wanted, living her true self in the apocalypse.

Ash stopped looking at the post. After eating, she started training again. She first did some digestive exercises. After her stomach gradually digested the food and felt no burden, she began high-intensity physical enhancement training.

Another 7 days passed in a flash...

Ashira's routine these past few days was: train - shower - eat - sleep - repeat.

Out of 24 hours a day, Ashira spent 18 hours training. Her training was very scientific, and with professional guidance, the more she exercised, the more energetic she became.

Her physical fitness visibly improved. Before, running 10,000 meters would leave her breathless, but now her face doesn't redden and her heart doesn't pound.

Her strength has even doubled! She used to be able to carry a hundred pounds of rice, but now she can carry it with one hand!

In terms of combat skills, she has reached her previous state. Unarmed, she can kill five strong men simultaneously! If she had weapons, she could achieve instant kills!

After finishing her training for the day, Ashira Cook the braised beef and started eating. She used the 500 pounds of fresh beef she had stockpiled before the apocalypse, added various spices, and stewed it in a pressure cooker. After it absorbed the flavor, she took it out, cold-sliced it, and added dipping sauce. Fresh beef, when braised, was too delicious!

Her appetite had become increasingly picky during this time. She didn't want to eat the prepared meals and instant noodles she had bought before at all.

After all, with fresh good things available, who would want to eat those makeshift emergency items. Anyway, Ash had more than enough supplies, and eating alone was completely fine!

While she ate braised beef, she also separately cooked a large pot of big bones with plenty of beef hanging on them, without adding any ingredients except a little salt, for Storm to eat.

Whatever she ate, Storm ate.

Meanwhile, the outside world had long since changed.
