Chereads / Zombolution: Unleash the Undying Power / Chapter 14 - Zombie Gunner

Chapter 14 - Zombie Gunner

In a tense standoff, the man with the enormous leg and Zorvax prepared to engage in a fierce battle. With a wicked grin on his face, the man hurled himself at Zorvax, unleashing a powerful, swinging kick.

"You think you can take me down, undead freak?" the man taunted as his leg sailed through the air, aimed straight for Zorvax's head.

Zorvax, nimble and ever-watchful, sprang into action. In a swift, acrobatic move, he leapt into the air, evading the kick aimed at his head. With a blade in hand, Zorvax intended to strike down with a killing blow from above.

Anticipating Zorvax's movement, the man with the colossal leg squatted and propelled himself into a jumping counterattack. The sheer force behind his leg aimed to crush Zorvax and put an end to the fight.

"Underestimating me is your last mistake, zombie," the man sneered, his voice filled with confidence.

In a dazzling display of agility and combat prowess, Zorvax deftly altered his stance mid-air. He swung his leg with precision to intercept the man's approaching kick. Their two limbs collided, sending shockwaves through the surrounding air as the fierce struggle unfolded.

In the wake of their intense clash, the man with the colossal leg gazed at Zorvax with a newfound respect. "Not bad, zombie," he grudgingly admitted, grinning through the pain of their exchange.

Yet, just as the man seemed to appreciate Zorvax's abilities, an unsettling realization washed over him. He felt a strange sensation in his leg, an uncomfortable transformation he couldn't ignore. Bewilderment etched across his face, he gazed down at his once-enormous leg, now reduced in size by a fraction.

"Darn it!" he cursed vehemently, furrowing his brow. The man knew that something was amiss, and the reality of his altered leg left him seething with frustration.

Turning his gaze to the chained woman, the man let out an enraged bellow, "You miserable wench! Strengthen my leg!" But before she could obey his command, Zorvax moved with unparalleled speed and precision, delivering a lethal strike that put an end to the man's demands, forever silencing his threats.

As the man with the colossal leg crumpled to the ground, his intended words of authority dissolved into a final, breathless gasp. Zorvax had struck decisively, ensuring that the man would never regain the power he'd hoped for.

With both men vanquished and the chaotic battle concluded, Zorvax slowly approached the woman who, to his surprise, displayed no trace of fear. He scrutinized her carefully, bewildered by her unexpected demeanour.

As Zorvax drew nearer, the woman suddenly extended her arms, a serene and accepting expression on her face. Her voice, tinged with gratitude, rang out as she spoke, "I thank you, zombie, for ridding me of those tormentors. Now, I wish to embrace death as my escape from this wretched apocalypse world."

Zorvax couldn't fully comprehend the woman's mindset, but he had no time for contemplation. With a quick, deliberate movement, he ended her suffering, granting her the escape she so desperately desired. In the wake of this grim act, a chilling silence settled over the scene, and the woman's wish for release was fulfilled.

The harsh reality of the world had bred profound despair in the hearts of its survivors. The woman's final moments served as a stark reminder that the end of humanity had left some scarred souls yearning for release from the horrors of this new world.

As Zorvax turned around, his tattered form seemed to pulsate with newfound vitality, a strange semblance of life coursing through his undead body. He cast his eyes upon the digital treasure that had become his Evolution Points, the very lifeblood of his existence in this altered world.

A sardonic smile graced his decaying lips, and his lifeless eyes gleamed with the glint of something akin to pride. The readout in the dark recesses of his mind displayed an impressive balance that left him feeling surprisingly invigorated [Evolution Points: 530].

With each pulsation of his hollow chest, Zorvax felt an anticipation building up within him, akin to a crescendo in a haunting symphony of the damned. He knew that with this horde of Evolution Points at his disposal, he was on the precipice of a transformative change, an ascent that would undoubtedly render him a formidable force to be reckoned with.

However, it was not the immediate transformation that had gripped him, but rather the tantalizing prospect of what lay the enigmatic second evolution [???: 200 Evolution Points to unlock]. Curiosity danced through the tenebrous corridors of his mind as he directed his attention to the enigmatic choices.

The Evolution List shimmered, unveiling its arcane possibilities:

Without pausing to ponder, he forged onward and selected the enigmatic second option:

[Unlock: Yes/No]

With unwavering conviction, he boomed a resounding "YES," like an emperor issuing a decree. In response, the system whirred to life, unleashing its magic:

Yet, as the mystic name began to unveil itself in the Evolution List, Zorvax was plunged into bewilderment. An unexpected revelation emerged, sending shockwaves through his very being. He stood frozen, a ghastly entity caught in a moment of disbelief.

His anticipation had now evolved into sheer astonishment. Before him, an entirely novel option presented itself, one that defied his predictions and swirled new possibilities: Zombie Gunner:

---

[Evolution List]

[1. Zombie Warrior: 500 Evolution Points to evolve]

[2. Zombie Gunner: 600 Evolution Points to evolve]

[3. ???: 200 Evolution Points to unlock]

The third option began to unveil itself as what Zorvax had expected. With 330 still in reserve, curiosity propelled him, and he selected the enigmatic unlock option once more:

---

[???: 200 Evolution Points to unlock]

[Unlock: Yes/No]

---

With resolve etched into his formless determination, Zorvax pronounced another decisive "YES," summoning the unknown forth:

---

[??? is being unlocked]

As this third path unfurled, Zorvax's excitement swelled, but as his hollow sockets fixated on the fourth evolution, realization gripped him. The requirement for unlocking the mysterious fourth evolution surpassed his wildest imaginations. It would demand more than he had ever contemplated.
