Meanwhile, in the same city though, before nightfall, they were set of things that Nate had been doing.
Right after he left the house, Nate proceeded to explore more about one of the skills that he had not taken seriously, maybe because he had no full picture of how it might be working.
[Inspector: This skill grants the host information about someone or an object, according to the host level]
'Wow..I've not heard of this before '
This was Nate's first time hearing of such a skill.
'But it still sounds cool. Let's test it out '
With that thought in the main Nate proceeded with finding a target to test out the skill.
On the street, they were not much, only some zombie that was wandering around the street.
This brought up a question in Nate's mind.
'Why are there a few zombies on the streets?'
'Or have they gone to plot a secret plan on how to get rid of the human race '
Thinking of this, Nate giggled inside, while shaking his head.
'Such a plan from lows intelligence beings will always end up with them losing '
Nate giggled hard.
[Ding!!!]
[ Find out where the zombies are going]
[Reward:??????]
'Nate! Maybe next time you should mind your own business to avoid unnecessarily quest '
Nate scolded himself.
After looking at the quest for some time, Nate decides to throw it at the back of his mind for the time being.
After all, he still had something at hand now.
Approaching one of the zombies, just like expected, the zombie was walking toward a particular area.
[Inspector]
[Zombie]
[Race = undead]
[Class = zombie infected]
[Health = hungry]
[Killing this zombie would not give the host anything in return]
Seeing the list of things that were displayed on the hologram screen before him, Nate was amazed at the same time.
' This provides me with information about the zombie. its race, class, and even its health, this is cool, if only I had figured this out, then fighting that scum wouldn't have taken much time' Nate thought while looking in a particular direction.
' Anyway, he should be dead by now '
With that, Nate stared at the hologram screen.
'It says he is hungry, should I just help him?'
Nate wandered but soon dismissed the thought.
'What was I even thinking about, helping a zombie, No. '
'Even though I might be one of them now I'm not going to start going around sharing food with another zombie '
' After all, if not for the fact that I have stored all the meats in the inventory, those zombies would have been seeing me as a bag of meat '
Nate could still remember what happened with the last zombies that tried stealing from them, though it was more like snatching Nate's and Peter's meat right in front of the two brothers.
Though Nate ended up killing all the zombies, this also taught him a lesson that zombies don't care for each other.
Nate still wants to check out another thing before leaving the area.
[Inspector]
[Zombie]
[Race = undead]
[Class = bitten zombie ]
[Health = hungry]
[Killing this zombie would not give the host anything in return]
Just like the other zombie, they were nothing that would be given to Nate if he killed the zombie.
But there were also some changes that Nate also noticed...
' Bitten?'
'Those this referee to how it was turned, then if that is the case what about Peter '
Without wasting time, Nate used the inspector on Peter.
[Inspector]
[Name = Peter]
[Age = 16]
[Race = undead]
[Class = zombie horde]
[Level = 1]
[Attributes]
[Strength = 2]
[Agility = 3]
[Intelligence = 1]
[HP = 100/100]
Just like Nate was expecting, the thing that showed up in his interface was Peter's status.
'Now I understand what this "inspector" skill is all about. '
'With this, I can be far ahead of anyone in this game ' Nate thought with excitement.
Carrying that thought in mind, resumes his journey to nowhere in particular.
While walking with Peter, Nate formed the habit of inspecting every single thing that looks strange to him.
The 'inspector ' skill had turned out to be more amazing than he had thought.
After walking for a while, Nate noticed that the night was fast approaching.
Though he had no problem with traveling at night, there seemed to be someone else who was not good with that.
[Ding!!!]
[Host is advised to take shelter before nightfall]
[New quest]
[Survive the first night]
[Reward:???]
'You know, you guys need to be more specific with your quest '
' Just how can you give me a quest without any proper explanation?'
Nate felt like pulling his hair out of his head.
But in the end, he still went and took shelter in a clothing store.
Stepping into the store itself, Nate was surprised.
' Though this does not in any way grant me any point '
'But I think I just hit the jackpot '
They are nothing special about a clothing store, at least to a zombie.
But Nate was not just any ordinary zombie, he was a zombie with high intelligence.
So at this moment, Nate might not be a human again, but he still reasons like one and still has some certain needs a human would also need.
One of those needs, just like you all might know, is clothing.
Yes, Nate might be a zombie, but he still has the same reasoning as a normal human being, and a normal human being needs something like clothes in their daily lives, even though the world is now in a catastrophic situation.
Practically, that was not the main reason Nate was happy, he had no problem staying in one cloth till eternity.
First of all, after making sure that there was no one else following them, Nate brought Peter inside the store.
After encountering Kai, Nate found some problems at hand that he had failed to notice from the start.
This problem was Peter of course, though now that Peter's intelligence had increased to one, the latter had stopped the saliva that was continuously dripping out of his mouth. This was also the reason Kai was able to recognize Peter as a zombie even though he was at a far distance.
Right now, Nate felt like he found something that would help in fixing the problem.
' This is good, from the look of those materials that were used in making that cloth, no doubt this would have cost a lot of money if things were not in the way it is now '
'Sometimes, we call this one of the advantages of living in an apocalyptic world '
Laminated Nate in his mind.
After picking some fancy clothes, one that would make them look more like a badass.
Actually, Nate had taken every single cloth in the store and stuffed it into one bag before placing it in his inventory.
Of course, he did not forget to take out a few for himself and Peter.
He walked straight to the mirror, and though he knew this was a bad idea he still stood before the mirror.
'I won't be changing my clothes alone, I also amend my looks '
