"No need, I have a better way to evolve. You should still remember that cross, right?"

"I see. Indeed, the evolution bestowed by a great being is incomparable to my shallow method of evolution. I look forward to your final evolution."

"If fate allows, you will meet. Okay, I'm leaving now."

..................

Meanwhile, after Abigail and the others left, the zombie man who had been observing the situation decided to enter the building to investigate.

"I must find out what the House of Evolution is secretly planning."

However, Zombie Man didn't really know where to find the useful information, but he guessed that such important information should be hidden in the archives or Abigail's office.

So his current targets are these two places.

However, he didn't have a map of the House of Evolution building, so finding a small office and archive in this huge building was a problem.

However, after thinking it over, the zombie man decided to take the risk.

He walked openly into the building through the main entrance. The lobby was full of maintenance workers repairing the damage caused by the battle between the wolves and the guards. The receptionist was sitting at the front desk. So, the zombie man walked straight to the front desk.

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

Seeing the zombie man walk up to her, the receptionist smiled and asked.

"I'm from the Hero Association, and I'm here today to see Abigail."

"President Abigail? I'm sorry, President, she just left, just a few minutes ago."

"That's a real shame. Could you tell me where Abigail's office is? I'm planning to go directly to her office and wait for her."

"I see. But I'm sorry, the president's office is off-limits to visitors when she's not there. You can wait in the lounge for now, and I'll have someone notify you when she returns."

“That’s the only way then. By the way, I have a request. May I walk around the House of Evolution building? Actually, I’m quite curious about your House of Evolution,” the zombie man said with a smile.

"Please wait a moment while I contact my superiors. However, since you are a member of the Hero Association, I think they should agree to your request."

"Then please."

After waiting for a while, the receptionist contacted her supervisor by phone, and soon after, her supervisor sent a reply.

The result was encouraging; the higher-ups approved the zombie man's request for a tour. They even provided him with a guide.

After waiting for a few minutes, a staff member came to the zombie man.

"Hello, my name is Saki. I will give you a tour of the company later. Please take care of me."

"Hello, Ms. Saki, you can call me Toshiya. Nice to meet you from now on."

"Alright, Mr. Junye, please follow me. Is there any place you'd particularly like to see, Mr. Junye?"

"Well, if I may, I'd like to wander around a bit and take another look at the places you're renovating."

"Of course, no problem. Mr. Junye, please come over."

For a while afterward, the zombie man followed the staff member named Saki around the building. During this time, the zombie man meticulously memorized the entire building's map and also noted the location of the archives. In addition, he also noted down some restricted areas.

Moreover, during this time, the zombie man repeatedly tried to extract information from Saki, and eventually he determined that Saki seemed unaware of the House of Evolution's purpose.

"Mr. Junye. This is the top floor of the company, which is also the president's office. There's not much else to see. Let me take you to the lounge."

"Hmm, does that mean the entire floor above is offices?"

"Yes! When the president comes back, you can just go straight to the top floor."

The two then went to the lounge. The zombie man sat on the sofa, and Saki poured him a cup of tea before leaving.

After watching Saki leave, the zombie man confirmed that there were no other staff members or surveillance cameras around, then stood up and left the meeting room.

After evading the security guards patrolling the building, the zombie man finally sneaked to the top floor.

"Is this Abigail's office? Now we need to figure out how to get in."

Reaching the final door in his path, the zombie man fell into deep thought. Breaking it down was obviously out of the question; that would certainly trigger the alarm. As for picking the lock, the zombie man had no idea.

This is when the zombie man noticed the window next to the corridor.

"I hope the window is open," the zombie man thought to himself.

Climbing out of the window, the zombie man dangled from the edge and surveyed the outside. Climbing across from this window wouldn't be easy. However, there was good news: the window in Abigail's office was indeed open.

"Give it a try."

The zombie man prepared to jump directly towards the open window, which was several meters away, but he thought he could give it a try, even if he failed.

Honestly, the zombie man was thirty or forty meters above the ground at that moment. An ordinary person falling like that would definitely be smashed to pieces and die instantly. However, the zombie man wasn't worried about that problem.

Adjusting his posture, the zombie man grabbed the very edge of the window and leaped forcefully to the other side.

Chapter 113 The Monster Association's Demands

At the top of the House of Evolution building, the zombie man finally managed to enter Abigail's office by jumping out of a window.

"Finally in! You almost fell. Now let me see where you've hidden your secrets."

After entering through the window, the zombie man looked around the office, which appeared somewhat empty.

To the zombie man's surprise, this place looked more like a lounge than an office.

However, he didn't pay attention to that; Abigail's preferences were not within his consideration. He looked around the room; there didn't seem to be any place where top-secret documents were hidden.

"Check if there are any important files on the computer."

So, the zombie man went to Abigail's desk and turned on the computer.

However, Abigail is known for her tendency to slack off, so getting her to do her job properly is no easy task. Therefore, when Zombie Gate turned on the computer, he was surprised to find that, apart from a huge number of games, everything else was spotless, as if it had just come from the factory.

"As expected of the person who built the House of Evolution into such a large-scale enterprise, she must have considered the possibility of someone hacking into her computer and stealing information. It seems that obtaining information will not be so easy."

But just then, the zombie man suddenly remembered a file on his desktop. He hadn't paid any attention to it before, assuming that files on the desktop couldn't be anything important. Now, however, he figured he had no choice but to try his luck and see if there was anything of value inside.

After opening the document and reading its contents, the zombie man became serious.

........................

At this moment, at the headquarters of the Hero Association.

"It seems the situation is gradually stabilizing, and all the cities should be able to pull through... This time, the gene enhancers from the House of Evolution have been a great help."

"Important intelligence from Drive Knight? It's about the enemy. The enemy is called the Monster Association. Although we don't know their purpose yet, they call themselves an enemy organization of the Hero Association. They also seem to have technology that can turn humans into monsters. The guy in charge of the organization is called Monster King, Orochi."

"The approximate location of their base has also been teleported over."

"Wow, as expected of Drive Knight!"

"The location is in Z City, a ghost town with hardly anyone living there."

"A territory occupied by monsters...?"

"If the eccentrics there collude with each other and form an organization, that would be understandable..."

"But they even went so far as to kidnap the son of one of our major shareholders. Was he really going to be used as a hostage?"

"Tch... Do you think you can be on equal footing with us just like that? What are they demanding, a ransom?"

"Money is of no use to weirdos."

"I think it means they're telling us not to attack them."

"After all, in principle, they are the ones we should be removing."

"Perhaps they want to use hostages as bargaining chips, such as not treating them as deportees, or even demanding the right to live freely."

"Hmm... If that's the case, then this riot can be explained as the terrifying mental activity of these weirdos."

"While most of these weirdos are savage and violent, acting on their own desires and impulses, they seem to have shown at least the rationality required for teamwork in this incident."

"If they are figuring out how to survive in their own way, it means we have an opportunity. We can cleverly set a trap and then look for opportunities to wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"They will definitely come to contact us. Of course, we must eliminate the weirdo completely, but we can listen to what they have to say first."

“That’s right. We must uphold the trust of our sponsor. Nalikin’s top advisor is one of the top three sponsors. If his son is kidnapped by bad guys, his future funding to the association may be cut off. We must rescue his son!”

Just as a group of people were discussing this matter, the meeting room door suddenly opened, and an ordinary employee walked in.

"News has come from the Monster Association!"

The ordinary employee's words surprised everyone present.

"News has come from the Monster Association!"

"What news?"

However, at this point, the ordinary employee repeated himself again:

"News has come from the Monster Association!"

"Hurry up and tell me!"

But the ordinary employee, as if he hadn't heard the question, continued repeating the same sentence:

"News... has come from the Monster Association!"

"Hello...?" Only then did the people present realize that something was wrong.

"Something's not right with this guy!"

"News has come from the Monster Association! News has come from the Monster Association!..."

As he repeated these words, two horns suddenly grew on the employee's head.

"News has come from the Monster Association!"

However, at this moment, everyone else in the conference room looked terrified.

"He's been parasitized by something!"

"Quickly summon the heroes stationed at headquarters!"

"Hello, this is Meeting Room 7 on the second floor of Hall 1 West..."

One of the members pulled a pistol from his pocket: "Should we shoot?"

"Fire! Shoot him! Shoot him!!"

"Wait!! Let's hear what he has to say!!" At this moment, one of them stopped the others.
