Apocalypse: Zombie King is the Female Lead's Younger Sister Chapter 154: Learning about Wood Ability

Derek’s wounds had recovered so fast not because of her wood ability. She was sure of it.

Although she could heal people, her proficiency wasn’t as good as Isryn yet. She had difficulty controlling her power to stop wasting the vitality from dissipating in the air. Most of her power still went to waste. Using it to grow seeds was much more effective than healing people.

Derek was taken aback. He checked his scabbing wounds. Not long after this, the scab would fall off, and he would be healthy again.

"Zerra," He paused. "I have healing abilities too. I have awakened the wood power."

She touched her head, sighing. How could she almost forget about it?

"But indeed..." He began again, attracting her attention back to him. "I recover because of the healing ability. Just like the power that Isryn has. Although not all wood ability users can heal people."

Huh? She raised her eyebrows. "Not all of them can heal people?"

He nodded. "It’s also a rare power." His hands went to his face, and then he covered his eyes with his palm before withdrawing them again.

"My eyes have also gradually recovered ever since I acquired this power. It’s healing little by little. I just use the glasses because I am used to them."

Zerra fell silent. Now, she felt a little bad for accusing him.

"You can show your foot to ," he suddenly said amidst the growing silence.

She tilted her head, a little confused. Then, she realized what he was about to do. "Aren’t you still so weak? Don’t worry about and think about yourself. You need that energy to recover."

"That’s fine. Just show ," he insisted.

So stubborn, she grumbled and showed him her foot.

"It’s like a knife laceration. A bit deep. Where did you get such a wound?" Derek asked.

Zerra knew why he asked. Most likely, he was interested in the new type of mutated plant. "It’s near the place where I fell."

She could show him the location, but she needed to deal with the leaves and branch cocoon first, so that he wouldn’t be suspicious of her power.

Her attention soon was attracted by Derek’s power. The familiar vitality flowed out of his hand, heading to Zerra’s wounded foot. She once again tasted the cool sensation.

The more she observed, the more amazed she beca. Derek’s power was bigger than Isryn’s, which ant it was also more powerful than hers. On top of that, his control was magnificent.

He used his power so effectively that not a drop had gone to waste. Even she was a bit envious of the control of his power.

Her wound was no longer as painful as before now. Derek muttered, "It’s done."

His was noticeably a lot paler than before. Zerra took out so food and handed it to him.

"Thanks," they said in unison. A little shocked, they stared at each other before they looked away.

They ate in comfortable silence.

"Zerra," Derek called out.

She turned to him.

"Don’t go out before I recover. We should find a way together. The world outside is too dangerous. The earthquake and landslides might have attracted other mutated animals to co," Derek said in a grim tone.

Actually, she was also curious whether there were others in the forest, excluding Derek and her teammates.

Would she be able to find the culprit who had been making trouble with the mutated animals?

She didn’t imdiately respond to his words. Instead, she asked first. "Besides you, is there anyone else who has co to this forest? Is there another person who has their hands on the mutated animals’ repellent?"

Derek knitted his eyebrows thoughtfully, rembering her ntion of the mutated animals going after people’s residences.

"Do you an soone might have been making trouble?" He muttered thoughtfully. "Then, it will be more dangerous outside. Don’t wander alone carelessly."

Zerra wanted to wait for Derek to get better so that they could find a way out together. She was sure her elder brother might be worried if she hadn’t co back for so long.

But... why did Derek take so long to recover?

After his wounds had scabbed over, he no longer used the bandage. However, he would still occasionally relapse because of his poison. She had tried to detect whether the poison was life-threatening, but...

Derek himself felt imnse pain. The poison wasn’t ordinary.

"I will go out for a while," she frowned.

"Where are you going?" Derek gasped, a little tired. His face beca terrifyingly bluish and purple again.

"You have a lot of knowledge about mutated plants, right?" She had considered this option. "I am planning to go back to the place where you have gotten injured. Then, I will find the plant for you. You must be able to assess its properties, right?"

In the celestial realm, those who possessed wood ability often beca an alchemist. They would make many potions and pills. The ability to detect any plant or ingredient properties was top-notch.

Derek seed to possess such an ability, which was most likely because of his obsession with plants. Zerra saw it from how much he was chattering about the plants in his bag.

The plant she thought to be ordinary had dripped so kind of poisonous ink from its leaves. She would have been poisoned if not for his warning.

"I can indeed do that." Derek stopped. "But it will be dangerous for you to wander alone like that. It’s fine. Just wait a little longer. I think I will be better soon."

She knitted her eyebrows together. Not listening to his words, she still headed to the cave entrance.

"There’s a basket of food and water beside you. Eat and drink them. I will be back soon." She didn’t want to wait. It would take too long. So, without waiting for Derek’s response, she parted the thick vines covering the entrance and went out.

Thankfully, she rembered the sll of the poison. Zerra headed toward the cliff. She spotted mutated animals along the way, but they didn’t attack her like before.

They rely watched her warily, not daring to get close. Even the normal mutated animals–not the zombie ones–acted the sa way.

Since they dared to co, it ant that the tiger wasn’t here...

A roar cut off her thoughts. Oh, she jinxed it again.

The birds and mutated animals scattered away the mont they heard the thunderous roar. Zerra saw sothing jump out of the thick bushes, straight to the ground in front of her.
