While Luke and Lori moved toward the food factory, in the house where Ben and others were staying… Professor Nina, Ben and the boy whose name was James were in the kitchen, silently eating food. Professor Nina had a worried expression and wasn't focused on eating at all. Ben noticed this, stopped gobbling down his food, and reassuringly said to the professor, "Don't worry too much, professor. He is strong and knows what he is doing. He will be alright." Hearing this, James also looked at…-

Since Luke didn't have much stamina to fight for a short while, the duo became even more cautious. They slowly and stealthily moved toward the Lori's house. Even though they encountered a few small hordes of zombies walking here and there, thanks to Lori, who was familiar with the place, they easily evaded them and continued moving toward her house. After walking for a while, Lori excitedly said, "We are almost there. My house is right after this next turn." Luke distractedly nodded. He was…

A while later, Luke and Lori gathered all the dropped items. There were 25 red treasure boxes and this time Luke's luck was good because he also got three skill books. Ignoring the treasure boxes, he grabbed the three skill books and checked their information. After seeing the skills' information, his eyes glowed. Both and were skills he needed very much right now. The latter can resolve his stamina problem to some extent. As for the former, , it would prove useful to better…

Crack! Crack! Just as Luke was about to kill the first zombie, he heard some faint cracking sounds from the center of the gate and his expression changed. 'Damn it. The lock is about to break.' He cursed and his previous leisurely actions became hurried. Slash! With a downward slash, he cut open a zombie's head in two. Before attacking another zombie, he turned his head back and shouted, "Lori, you hide yourself somewhere nearby! You can come out after I kill them." Although Lori…

When she heard him suddenly curse, Lori became worried. By now, she knew he wouldn't easily lose composure if there wasn't some great danger. Since she was running faster than she normally could because he was pulling her along, she couldn't afford to speak and ask what was wrong as it would strain her already strained breathing but she could move her head and look around to see what the problem was. She didn't see anything in front, there was nothing on the right side too, but when she turned to…

"Mm?" Hearing her request, Luke looked into her eyes and seriously asked, "Can you kill?" Lori took a deep breath and nodded with determination. "I can." She at least wanted to carry her own weight and not be a burden to him or anyone else. If she had killed the zombies in the start and become an evolver, she wouldn't have to wait until now to ask him to save her daughter. She could've gone by herself. That's why, she wanted to become an evolver like him. Luke silently looked at her for a moment…

Whoosh! Immediately after Lori jumped out of the window, Luke grabbed her hand and rushed away. Grawr! Crack! Thud! A few seconds later, zombies started pouring out of the window. However, their target had already disappeared from their sight, so they could only walk around aimlessly. … Behind the residential area, there were many half-constructed buildings and houses. The city authorities were making another residential area to accommodate the city's growing population. Huff! Huff!…

Luke smiled at this. He then took Lori and ran in the southwest direction where her home was. As they stealthily crossed blocks after blocks, they only encountered a few stray zombies who Luke easily dealt with. However, it was mostly because this was a residential area and most of the people had gone to college or work. When they were only one block away from her home, Luke halted in his tracks on a turn. "Huff… why did you stop? Are there zom…" Lori was panting after running for so long.…

Hearing her outburst, he asked while looking deep into her eyes. "Just a few blocks away, you say? How can I believe you aren't lying about it to make me agree?" When the store lady heard this, her teary eyes sparkled with hope. Hurriedly wiping away her tears, she shook her head. "No. I'm really not lying, but I also can't make you believe me. But if you found out later that I'm lying, you can kill me right then and there." Luke looked at her without speaking for a moment. He then sighed and nodded,…

After checking that there was no zombie in the house, Ben chose one room on the ground floor, went to the bed and fell asleep as soon as he laid on it. Alice and professor Nina also chose a room on the ground floor. After nodding at Luke, they entered their rooms. Luke waited for the store lady and the boy to enter the house. After they came in, he shut the main door and went upstairs. He opened the first room on the second floor and entered it. 'Mm? It's a girl's room.' He thought when she saw…
