I lay low and gave up, but my servants were caught in a cycle of life and death.

"Have all the zombies been cleared out?"

The cleaver nodded arrogantly, "All cleared! With a single, devastating move, I swept through the entire area!"

"Then why didn't you bring Xiaoli and Shen Rang back?"

"Uh..." the cleaver stammered, "They're pretty fast too. Let me see if they're downstairs yet!"

After saying that, the cleaver ran away in a flash.

Lu Yan ignored him. "Old Hei, let's go to the nearest shopping mall. When we see Chopper and the others come back, have them clear the zombies and roadblocks along the way."

"Yes, Master."

Lu Yan got up, asked Lao Hei to open the door for him, went straight into the bedroom, took off his pajamas, and changed into casual clothes.

Looking at the two holes in the back of his silk pajamas, Lu Yan felt a headache coming on. Even if he went to the mall and bought a lot more clothes, it probably wouldn't be enough for him to wear out.

If only these tattered clothes could be recycled and reused.

Rework?

Is Xiaobai capable of doing this?!

My initial setup for Xiaobai was alchemy and weapon crafting. Making clothes shouldn't be too difficult for it, right?

"Old Black, give these clothes to Little White and ask him if he can turn them back into new ones."

"OK."

Xiao Bai, who was diligently stuffing crystal cores into her stomach for smelting while standing at the bottom of the living room stairs, stopped what she was doing and picked up the tattered pajamas that had suddenly been hanging on the stair railing.

After scanning with its flashing red electronic eyes, it reported to Lu Yan, who was coming downstairs, in a mechanical electronic voice: "Master, this item is a blend of mulberry silk and a small amount of spandex. The structure is damaged and the fibers are broken."

Simply provide the clothes or fabrics you no longer need, and the servant will restore them to their original condition.

If you, Master, provide me with plant fibers, animal fur, mutated spider silk, or silkworm silk from mutated creatures, I can forge them into high-grade armor.

Lu Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this.

This isn't just a tailor, this is practically a post-apocalyptic gear master!

The "alchemy + weapon crafting" setup I created when "enlightening" a novice has indeed shown great potential!

Clothing, food, housing, and transportation are basically all taken care of now. In the future, we can enlighten a plant, give it growth characteristics, and let Lin Ruojin and her brother raise a bunch of chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cows, and sheep. Food will no longer be a problem!

Oh, right! We also need to build a fishpond! We can plant lotus flowers in it; they'll be beautiful, delicious, and we can raise fish there too…

Lu Yan imagined a wonderful future and felt relaxed.

"As long as you can fix it. We don't have the mutated materials now, but once we do, you can make one custom-made for each of us."

As Lu Yan spoke, he turned on the beeping bracelet—

"Brother Yan, why did you run off? Didn't you say you'd come with me to the zoo to contract a mutant beast?!"

Lu Yan picked at his ear. "My supplies are almost gone. I'll go to the mall to restock. That mutated beast isn't going anywhere, what's the rush?"

"There's no one watching them at the zoo anymore, how do you know they won't run away?"

"It's already the eighth day of the apocalypse; those who wanted to escape should have already done so."

"Oh, right. Brother Yan, wait for me, I'm coming to find you!"

Lu Yan hung up the phone, picked up the freshly squeezed energy drink from Xiaobai, and drank it all in one gulp.

Yesterday's energy drink made his ability experience bar drop by one-tenth. If he drinks eight more cups, his ability will reach level four.

Lu Yan took out a deck of cards and played with them. How should he enlighten these playing cards?

"Woof!" (Dad!)

Lu Yan looked up, and Bian Mu rushed in front of him.

Having just had a bath, its long fur was fluffy, soft, and incredibly flowing.

Lu Yan's eyes lit up; the fur of a mutated animal...

"Sweetie, come here, let me brush your fur."

Old Hei immediately brought over a comb. Lu Yan picked it up from the coffee table and looked at the siblings, "Where's the hair you removed when you bathed Lu Bao?"

Lin Ruohua scratched her head, puzzled. "I threw it in the trash can."

"I picked it up. From now on, I'll make sure to collect every single hair my baby sheds."

Upon hearing Lu Yan say this, the Border Collie's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"Woof!" (Dad, you're so good to me!)

Unlike my previous owner, who raised me to make me an internet celebrity dog ​​and make money for him!

Oh oh oh!

At first, he just asked me to act out the script so he could gain some popularity. But when acting out the script didn't work, he started beating and scolding me and wouldn't give me food. I couldn't take it anymore, so I ran away.

Waaaaah!

Lu Yan felt embarrassed and heartbroken. He wanted Lu Bao's fur only because it could be used to make clothes.

The parrot hopped over from the coffee table, waving its wings from side to side, "Boss, your idiot owner got sucked dry by the banyan tree spirit in the neighborhood on the first day of the apocalypse, that was his retribution!"

"A banyan tree spirit?"

"Yeah! I was dozing in that tree that day, and it almost sucked me dry!"

Lu Yan stroked his chin. It seems that after the apocalypse, the most terrifying thing may not be zombies, but uncontrollable mutated beasts, mutated demonic plants, and superhumans.

The task of rebuilding Qingcheng is arduous and has a long way to go.

Fortunately, he doesn't have to worry about this.

However, mutated beasts can be contracted, I wonder if mutated demonic plants can be contracted as well?

"Where is that neighborhood? We'll go check it out after we resupply."

"Okay!" The parrot flapped its wings, its beady green eyes blinking. "I'll bring that banyan tree spirit over and make it my nest!"

"Master, we've arrived at Taiguhui."

Lu Yan stood up and waved his hand, "Let's go! Let's go stock up! Xiao Jin, Xiao Hua, besides food and supplies, you two should also pick out lots of clothes for yourselves!"

Taigu Hui is the first high-end shopping mall in Qingcheng that specializes in luxury goods. Things we couldn't afford before, we can now buy to our heart's content!

Even if he will most likely only wear high-grade armor made of mutated materials in the future, it won't stop him from having fun today!

"Thank you, boss!"

The siblings, their faces beaming with joy, followed Lu Yan out of the RV.

"Master, Master!"

As soon as Xiao Li saw Lu Yan get out of the car, she ran over and hugged his leg, looking aggrieved. "Don't leave Xiao Li behind again!"

Lu Yan pinched her cheek. "I didn't leave you behind. Lao Hei is following you around, isn't he? Go on, let your sister Ruojin pick out some nice clothes for you."

Upon hearing that there were nice clothes, Xiao Li immediately let go of Lu Yan's leg and skipped off to find Lin Ruojin.

The cleaver took the lead and rushed into the shopping mall building.

Remembering the destructive power of a kitchen knife, Lu Yan hurriedly called out from behind, "Be gentle! Don't use the knife's force and break things!"

"Okay~"

The sound of the cleaver echoed long and deep under the mall's dome.

Then came the sound of glass shattering.

"kitchen knife!"

"It wasn't me!" The kitchen knife's voice drifted down from the third floor, sounding aggrieved. "It was that parrot! It crashed into the glass!"

The parrot stood up groggily from the ground. "This glass is so clean! Brother Dao, why didn't you remind me?"

The cleaver snapped, "Why should I remind you, young master?"

The parrot blinked its beady green eyes. "I'll accept you as my older brother. Shouldn't an older brother protect his younger brother?"

The cleaver's arrogance vanished instantly. "Claim me as your brother? Not necessarily. Little brother, you're quite sensible!"

Lu Yan led the group around them and began to stock up on goods!
