Thud! Thud! Thud!

The zombie continued to run, but before they could reach the group, their heads flew in the air and they fell down on the ground, dead.

"Wow! This big brother is just like the superheroes in those movies. He is very strong." Kean shook his mother's hand in excitement when he saw this scene.

A moment ago, those man-eating zombies were coming toward them and in the next, they were lying on the down, dead. After witnessing this scene, how could a young kid like him not adore Luke?

"Yeah. He is amazing." His mother also nodded. She was also amazed by this splendid display.

Previously, when they were 'rescued' by the people from the food factory, she didn't see them fight the zombies because those people had baited all the zombies in the vicinity away before 'rescuing' them. Therefore, this was her first time to witness an evolver's power.

Rio and Julia were also in awe of him. Only Lori had a calm expression.

When she noticed her daughter's eyes shine as she looked at Luke, she frowned. She had promised to become Luke's personal maid and do anything he desires. So, it was possible that she may have a sexual relationship with him. That's why she found her daughter's expression, that girls usually have when they look at someone they like, uncomfortable. 𝗳𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐰𝐞𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

'No, I can't let her fall for him or things would turn awkward.' She thought. However, she knew it would be difficult to prevent, given how exceptional he was and how he had saved her.

'Maybe I should tell her the truth about me becoming his maid?' She thought, her brows raised. She then shook her head, not thinking about it any longer and nudged Julia's shoulder, asking, "Are you alright?"

"H-Huh? Yeah, mom. I'm alright." Julia blushed a little and nodded.

Sighing, Lori rubbed her head and walked up to the zombies to collect the drops.

"Don't. More are coming. Stay with them. We can collect them later." Luke hurriedly said when he noticed what she wanted to do.

"0-Okay." Lori nodded embarrassedly. Because she was thinking about Julia and him, she forg0t to pay attention to the surrounding.

She hurriedly retreated to her previous position and looked around. The zombies in 100-200-meter radius seemed to have noticed them and were now running toward them like hungry wolves.

She grew anxious when she noticed that there were over 50 zombies in total. Moreover, she could tell that a few of them were high-leveled ones since their speed was faster than others.

"Luke, can you handle them?" She worriedly asked. Although she knew he was strong, she knew it would be difficult to fight so many at the same time while taking care of them.

Hearing her question, others who had also noticed the incoming zombie horde paid attention, their hearts palpitating.

Phew!

Luke didn't answer. Instead, he looked around before pointing at a small half-constructed building at the roadside. "Go. Hurry and hide in there. Don't come out until I tell you to, and be careful, there might be some zombies inside."

Lori understood he wasn't confident of saving them if needed while fighting so many zombies. Therefore, she didn't hesitate. Grabbing Julia's hand, she ran toward the building while shouting at Rio, "Don't just stay there! Follow me inside."

"Y-Yes." Rio glanced at Luke and said, "Sir Luke, please be careful." After saying this, he ran after Lori with his wife and son. freew ebnovel.com

"Dad, we shouldn't leave that big brother alone." Kean said, looking back at Luke standing alone in the middle of the road.

"Don't worry. He will be alright." Rio said through clenched teeth. He wasn't sure if Luke could come out alive and this made him feel helpless because their lives were connected to him. If he fell here, they would also die.

Luke heard what the little guy said and a light smile appeared on his serious face.

Grawr!

07:02

Tap! Tap! Tap!

By the time Lori's group entered the building, the zombie horde had arrived near him. There were six high-leveled zombies in the group that were only 15 meters away from him.

Suddenly, Luke's eyes turned cold. He activated both [Berserk] and [Mana amplification] at the same time. The sword in his hand was instantly coated with 5 mana units and shone with a dim light.

Step!

He took a step forward. Then, just like before, the previous scene replicated itself. He rushed past the zombies and a moment later, six heads flew into the air, their blood splashing around.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The heads and the dead bodies fell to the ground one after another.

"Hmm?" Luke's eyes shone as he glanced at his sword. It still had a hint of shine to it, which meant the mana he used to amplify it wasn't completely used. This was a pleasant surprise.

Grawr! Grrr!

The rest of the zombies in the distance growled and continued to charge toward him.

His eyes flashed and with a thought, he used another five units of mana on the swords. Although he was confident of killing the rest of zombies without doing so too, he didn't want to waste too much time and let them surround him or run past him to get to the building. So, he chose the easiest and fastest way.

After that, he ran toward them, brandishing his sword wildly.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

With each slash, one or two zombies would be cut apart and then fell to the ground, never to move again.

Some had their heads slashed horizontally in half, while some were cut in two from head to toe. It wasn't because he was being wasteful by using so much strength in killing them, but because he couldn't accurately control how much strength he should use in his attacks after using [Mana amplification].

But as he continued his killing spree, he slowly got the hang of it. By the time he killed the twentieth zombie, the sword had lost most of its glow while his [Berserk] skill also had only a few seconds before it stopped working.

However, he didn't mind and used another five mana units to amplify his sword attacks and continued killing.

Meanwhile, Lori and others had entered the building and found a safe spot from where they could see what was happening outside.

While they were watching Luke kill one zombie after another like a killing machine, a skinny zombie with its legs missing crawled down on its hand from the second floor and arrived in front of their room. Its neck was a mangled mess. One could even see its vocal cord hanging loosely outside.

Because it couldn't snarl like other zombies, nor there were any footsteps, only faint slithering sound, Lori and others who were focused on the happenings outside, didn't notice its presence.

Scree!

"Huh?" When it was only five meters away from them, Julia finally heard the faint slithering sounds from behind.

When she turned her head around and saw the ghastly zombie, her eyes widened in horror. It was her first time seeing a zombie from so close.

However, she didn't panic and hurriedly called out to Lori and Rio, "M-Mom, uncle Rio, there is a zombie right behind us."

"What?" Lori and Rio immediately look back in horror.

When they saw the zombie's condition, they sighed in relief. However, Rio's wife and Kean screamed in fear when they saw it.

"Ahhhhh!"

"Hush! Don't panic. It's a normal zombie and is seriously wounded. I'll take care of it. You guys move away." Lori said to calm them down.

Rio's wife took Kean and ran away without hesitation, leaving only Rio, Julia, and Lori facing the zombie.

"Let me do it." Rio said, taking a deep breath. He didn't want a woman to risk her life in his presence.

Lori, however, shook her head. "No, I'll do it. You take care of my daughter." Since such a wonderful opportunity to become an evolver presented itself to her, how could she let him snatch it away from her?

"Mom…" Julia wanted to advise against it, but before she could say anything, Lori moved.

Whoosh!

Clenching the sword in her right hand tightly, she arrived beside the zombie and slashed down at its head with all her strength.

Dang!

As the sword landed on its head, the sound of metal colliding against a hard object sounded. Although a two-inch wound appeared on the zombie's head, it didn't die. The recoil of the attack, however, caused the web between Lori's forefinger and thumb to split and blood to gush out.

"Ssss…" She winced in pain and hurriedly retreated backwards.

The zombie was enraged at being attacked. It turned its body in Lori's direction and slithered toward her furiously.

Seeing this, Lori disregarded her injury. Gripping the sword tightly with both of her hands, she leaned her body forward and slashed. However, this time, she targeted its neck, which was easier to cut than the head.

Katcha!

The sword cleanly slashed through the neck, detaching it from the rest of its body.

Thud!

The zombie fell to the ground, no longer moving. However, its head was still twitching.

Taking a few deep breaths to calm her throbbing heart, she walked over to the zombie head and pierced the sword through its right eye, killing it thoroughly.

Thud!

She then fell to her knees and,

Blergh!

Started vomiting. Although she had seen a lot of bloodshed and corpses today, killing one herself was an entirely different thing. She felt so disgusted and panicky that she couldn't help but retch for a few minutes straight.

"Mom, are you alright?" Julia ran over to her side and patted her back.

After Lori calmed down, she wiped her mouth and smile brightly at her. "Yes. I'm alright, my baby girl."

She was so happy now that she wanted to jump around like a child because the moment she pierced the sword through the zombie's eye; she heard a mechanical sound in her head.
