Chapter 30 Who's the real monster?
30 Who's the real monster?
"Do you believe I'll kill you right now if you don't stop shouting?" Luke said in a heavy voice. He didn't want their shouts to alert the others if they weren't already.
Hearing this, the guy with the wooden club trembled in fear and immediately shut up. The other guy pushed the sword closer to Lori's neck and said, "Didn't you hear me? Stop right there if you don't want her to die."
Luke's footsteps didn't pause. Smiling lightly, he said, "Kill her then."
The duo's expression changed completely upon hearing this. The little sense of security they had after taking Lori hostage immediately vanished.
"Y-You are joking, right?" The guy with the sword said.
Luke shook his head and seriously said. "No. I'm completely serious. You can kill her if you want."
Initially, Lori was confused when Luke didn't stop despite the threat, but a moment later, she understood.
It wasn't that he didn't care if she was killed or not, but it was that they couldn't kill her for two reasons.
First, if they killed her, Luke would definitely kill them, which they didn't want to happen.
Second, even if they went crazy and wanted to kill her, they couldn't because she had the magic bracelet with her. She remembered Luke saying that it could save her when she was in danger if he couldn't do it in time.
Although she was a little nervous seeing the sword almost touching her neck, she chose to believe him.
Step! Step! Step!
Luke continued to walk toward them one step at a time.
When he arrived in front of them, Clang!
Thud!
The duo dropped their weapons and fell to their knees, trembling in fear as they pleaded, "Please don't kill us. We'll do whatever you ask."
Lori stepped away from them and walked to Luke's side, coldly looking at the kneeling duo.
"Tell me, how many evolvers are there in the camp aside from the ones I just killed? How strong are they? How many of them have learned skills?" Luke asked. He didn't kill them yet because he wanted to know ins and out of the camp.
The duo hurried to answer. "Yes. Including us, there are 14 more. The strongest is the supreme leader. We don't know what level is he because he never told any of us about it."
"Then there are the left and right camp leaders. I heard both of them have reached level 7. As for the others, most of them are like us who are at level 3-5. As for skills, only the three leaders and a few of their direct subordinate have learned them."
'Two level 7 and one stronger than that.' Luke knitted his brows in contemplation.
Fighting a level 7 human was way more difficult than fighting a level 7 zombie since the zombies couldn't use skills and had a simple fighting style.
Seeing him become silent. The duo hurriedly said, "Sir, you don't have to worry too much. Right now, the supreme leader and the right camp leader aren't in the factory. They had taken half of the guys to kill the zombie in nearby blocks and find other survivors."
Luke's eyes flashed when he heard this and asked, "This means, apart from the two of you, only the left camp leader and two other evolvers are present in the factory?"
"Yes." The duo nodded. A smile appeared on his face. Since this was the case, things became easier.
He then asked, "Your left camp leader and the other two? Where are they? In the storage rooms?"
"Yes. The camp leader and other evolvers live in the storage rooms." The duo nodded.
Remembering something, he asked, "Do you know why is your supreme leader looking for more survivors? From how you are treating the people here, I don't believe your supreme leader is a compassionate person and wants to save them. I'm sure he has some ulterior motive."
The duo revealed confused expressions and shook their heads. "This we don't know. He only told us he wants to save as many people as he could."
Luke smiled mockingly when he heard this, but didn't say anything. From his last life's experience, he knew there was definitely some reason behind their actions because the rulers' didn't care about earth's native people at all.
He then asked, "Okay. Now tell me, which one of you would like to lead me to your left camp leader?"
One of them quickly shouted, "I will do it! I will do it!"
"Since you want to do it, you'll have to kill him first." Luke calmly said.
Hearing this, the duo's eyes widened. Lori on the side also gave him a surprised glance, but didn't say anything.
"What? You can't do it." Luke narrowed his eyes and then glanced at the second guy. "He doesn't want to kill you. How about you kill him and lead to your left camp leader?"
As soon as the second guy heard this, he picked up the sword and, without hesitation, he slashed at his companion's neck. Slash!
Because he could exert his full strength, only half of his companion's neck was cut.
Puchi!
Strems of blood gushed out from the first guy's neck. He looked at his companion in horror. He couldn't believe this guy who had been his friend for years killed him so unhesitatingly.
"W…why?" He asked, trying to stop the blood from flowing out in vain.
The guy who attacked lowered his head and guiltily said. "I-I'm sorry, brother. But I want to live." "Ha… haha!" Hearing this, the first guy laughed, blood flowing out of his mouth. "You… want to live and… I don't? Ha…ha… I also should… not have hesitated." He said in regret. A moment later, he stopped breathing and fell down, dead.
Lori was left aghast at the sight. Luke, on the other hand, only frowned slightly before looking at the killer and saying, "Who's the real monster here?"
He then snatched the sword from his hand and gave it to Lori before ordering him, "Bring our vests."
"Yes." Nodding his head, he walked to the short-haired man and took off the vest he was wearing. After that, he went to another corpse and took off its vest too, before bringing the two to Luke.
Luke wore the one and gave the other one to Lori.
He then looked at the man and coldly said, "People like you shouldn't live."
Hearing this, the man's expression changed. He wanted to say something but,
Slash!
Luke slashed out with his sword and chopped his head off. He then turned to Lori and said, "Let's save your daughter now."
