When Lori and the party had entered the building, Luke lightly waved the sword in hand and took a step forward.

Grrr!

Step! Step!

The zombie growled in response and took two steps backwards, warily looking at him.

Luke's lips curled up into a grin when he noticed this and continued to take one step at a time.

Each time he stepped toward the zombie, it would retreat a few steps. When they were around 50 meters apart from each other, Luke turned around and sauntered away.

Grr!

The zombie growled when it saw him retreat and wanted to attack. Although Luke looked carefree, he was ready for it.

Fortunately for both of them, the zombie's newly gained intelligence stopped it from attacking him. It could feel if it attacked, Luke would turn serious and when that happened, it would lose its life.

face.

Luke glanced at him and smiled. "You can call me big brother from Step! Step! Step! 𝙛𝙧𝓮𝓮𝙬𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝓮𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝙢

Luke continued to walk, looking at ease, and quickly entered the building. He didn't go to the room where Lori and others were but went upstairs and quickly checked all the floors.

After that, he returned downstairs where Lori, Julia and others were looking at him with confused looks on their faces.

"Sir, why didn't you kill that monster?" Kean voiced out their confusion for them, a curious and puzzled expression on his baby face.

Luke glanced at him and smiled. "You can call me big brother from now on."

"Yes, big brother." Little Kean nodded, a cheerful smile blooming on his face.

Luke then glanced at everyone and added, "I didn't kill it because it has something which I need. So, I'm going to follow it and get that thing."

Not giving them any chance to speak, he continued, "I've checked this building and there is no living zombie here. So, you should move upstairs so you can be out of the zombies' detection range in case some pass by the building. Don't make any noise, stay alert and wait for me. I'll be back soon."

Once he finished saying this, he glanced out of the window and saw that the zombie had turned around and was walking away.

"Take care. I'll be back soon." He hurriedly waved them goodbye and rushed out of the window and followed the zombie while staying out of its detection range.

After he followed it for over 10 minutes, he arrived at the end of the of the sector, near the tall city walls.

Just a hundred meter away from the city walls was a garden, half the size of a football field. There was a small pond at in the centre.

The strange thing was that almost all the plantation across the garden had withered as if something had sucked their vitality dry.

Grr! Grr!

The zombie entered the garden while letting out low growls, and walked over to the pond.

'Is it in the pond?' Luke thought when he watched the zombie head toward the pond. He was feeling quite excited after he saw all the withered plantations here.

Why?

Because he knew his guess was correct and there was certainly a treasure, or, to be precise, an evolved plant here.

After the advent of mana, all plants and vegetation would see a rapid growth, which would be obvious in just a day or two, but very few plants could evolve and the plants that could evolve within just a couple of hours after the mana appeared, were even rarer but similarly more precious.

'It seems my luck is quite good. I just hope this plant is usable by humans too. If not, that would be too sad.' He thought.

Humans couldn't use all evolved plants that zombies and beast could because human physique is far inferior to theirs and couldn't contain and digest all the plant's or fruit's potency or deal with their side effects.

Humans realised this after many died upon consuming these fruits or plants, hoping to get a boost in their strength.

When he remembered this, he couldn't help but shudder, and his excitement dwindled by half.

The zombie stopped a few meters away from the plant and crouched down as it looked down in front of it.

Because Luke was over a hundred meters away and the withered vegetation blocked his view, he couldn't see what the zombie was looking at.

He changed his position and finally saw a small bush-like plant.

It had finger-sized triangular shaped, orange colour leaves and there were quite a few berries, as big as a fingernail, hanging on its branches. Some were still green, some showed signs of turning orange, the same colour as the leaves, while a few were already orange.

Suddenly, the zombie extended its hand and plucked one of the ripe berries and threw it in its mouth.

'Fuck!' Luke didn't keep hiding when he saw this and rushed toward the zombie at his fastest speed and his sword glowed with a faint light as he used [Mana enhancement] and infused 20 mana points into it.

When he was 50 meters away, the zombie noticed him and immediately recognised him. It threw another berry which it had just picked into its mouth and stood up.

GROWL!

It growled angrily and lunged at Luke, its right hand clawing at his head. Although it still felt some fear toward him, it couldn't retreat now that he had intruded into its territory.

Bang!

Luke also jumped toward it, his sword slashing ahead.

Clang!

They met mid-air and the sharp zombie claw and the glowing sword clashed against each other, producing metallic sound as they crossed each other.

Thud! Thud!

Both landed on their feet a few meters apart with their backs facing each other.

Luke glanced at his sword and noticed that the glow on it had dimmed by more than half. Although surprised, he wasn't disappointed because,

Psssh! Thud!

He turned around and saw fountains of blood pouring out of the zombie's right hand before half of it fell to the ground.

GROWL!!

As if it felt pain, it let out an anguished howl.

Weng!

Luke didn't wait for it to recover. He hurriedly poured out his last 20 units of mana into his sword, which made it glow brighter than before and rushed at the zombie, slashing at its neck with all his might.freewebno(v)el
