Ethan was curious. What kind of surprise could it be?
The box was made entirely of alloy, incredibly sturdy, but in Ethan's hands, it felt as pliable as clay. He picked it up, gave it a light tug, and the lid popped open effortlessly.

Ethan picked up the report and skimmed through it.
"X-Virus."

"Zombie Test Subject 1: After injecting the X-Virus into a D-class zombie, its decayed body began to regenerate. Within 24 hours, the body reached peak condition, successfully merging with the virus."
