Chapter 72: Bionic Light Zombie
Zorvax pondered for a moment, his gaze fixed on the list. "It doesn’t really matter at this stage," he said, shrugging slightly. "This is just to unlock the evolution, not actually evolve. So, let’s just choose one." His voice was relaxed, but there was a hint of excitement in his tone. His eyes flickered with curiosity as he considered their options.
Ophelia, looking thoughtful, suggested, "Maybe try unlocking the white one?" Her voice was tentative, but her eyes shone with the allure of the unknown. She tilted her head, awaiting Zorvax’s response.
Zorvax nodded slowly, his interest piqued by the idea of the light core path. "Yeah, the white core path sounds intriguing," he agreed, his voice reflecting his intrigue. He stood up, stretching his newly regenerated limbs, a sense of resolve on his face.
Zorvax then accessed the shop interface, selecting to purchase three white cores. The screen displayed:
---
[Buy White Core x3: 30,000]
[Yes/No]
---
Without hesitation, Zorvax pressed ’Yes,’ and immediately, 30,000 zombie points were deducted from his account. The cores, however, were not physically handed to him but kept by the system. He watched the points decrease, a slight frown on his face, but his eyes betrayed a sense of anticipation.
He then returned to the evolution list, his finger hovering over the option to unlock the second evolution. Ophelia leaned in closer, her excitement mirroring his.
---
[Unlock this evolution]
[Yes/No]
---
"Here goes nothing," Zorvax said, a half-smile playing on his lips as he confidently pressed ’Yes.’ A wave of accomplishment swept through him when the system beeped in confirmation, signaling that the second evolution path was now unlocked.
As the new option became available, the name of the evolution appeared on the screen:
----
[Bionic Light Zombie]
[Requirement to Evolve:]
[- 10,000 Evolution Points]
---
"Bionic Light Zombie?" Ophelia repeated, her eyebrows raised in surprise. She leaned in closer to the screen, her eyes scanning the new title. Her tone was a mix of curiosity and wonder.
Zorvax nodded, his expression thoughtful as he considered the possibilities. "It seems like a stronger version with a light element," he mused, his voice filled with intrigue. He paced slowly, his hands clasped behind his back, lost in thought.
"But I wonder," he continued, turning to face Ophelia, "what kind of powers could we harness with the light element? Healing ourselves, maybe?" His voice was speculative, his face showing a blend of curiosity and excitement at the potential abilities they could unlock.
Ophelia tilted her head, considering the idea. "Light element in a zombie... it’s unheard of. It could mean a whole new range of abilities we haven’t seen before," she said, her voice tinged with optimism. Her eyes sparkled with the thrill of discovery, reflecting the potential of their newfound path.
Zorvax nodded in agreement, a sense of eagerness evident in his posture. "Exactly, it could open up opportunities we haven’t even imagined. Healing, maybe even something more," he said, his imagination running wild with the possibilities.
"But still," he paused, turning to face Ophelia with a more contemplative expression, "I think it’s wise to unlock all the options before deciding which path to evolve into." His tone was more measured now, a sign of his strategic thinking.
Ophelia, who had been listening intently, nodded in agreement. "You’re right. It’s better to have a full view of our choices before making such a crucial decision," she responded, her voice echoing his thoughtfulness. She brushed off her clothes, her movements deliberate, signaling her readiness to move forward.
Zorvax, with a renewed sense of purpose, suggested, "Let’s continue hunting other level 3 zombies then. Each one brings us closer to unlocking all the evolution paths." His posture straightened, a physical sign of his commitment to their mission.
Ophelia’s eyes sparkled with determination. "Exactly, and who knows what other surprises we’ll find along the way," she said, a small smile playing on her lips. She picked up her weapon, inspecting it with practiced ease.
"True," Zorvax replied, his eyes meeting hers. "Every encounter, every battle teaches us something new." He glanced at the evolution list one last time before tucking it away. "This journey... it’s just beginning," he added, a hint of excitement in his voice.
"The unknown is always the most exciting part," Ophelia chimed in, her tone lighthearted yet resolute. She adjusted her weapon, ready for whatever lay ahead.
Zorvax and Ophelia then set out, their steps in perfect harmony. The deserted streets of the city stretched out before them, a canvas of untold challenges and adventures. They moved with a shared purpose, their partnership stronger than ever, united in their quest for evolution and understanding.

Far from Zorvax and Ophelia’s location, a group of humans stealthily navigated the desolate streets. The group moved cautiously, their eyes constantly scanning their surroundings. Their expressions were serious, a mix of determination and alertness etched on their faces.
One of them, a tall figure with a scar running down his cheek, broke the silence. "Are they here?" he asked, his voice low and gruff. He peered into the distance, his hand resting on the weapon at his side.
Another, a woman with sharp eyes, nodded slightly. "Yes, they should be around here," she responded, her tone confident. She checked her own weapon, ensuring it was ready for use.
"Good," the third member of the group, a younger man with a keen look, chimed in. "These two zombies are said to be strong. Their zombie cores must be valuable." His eyes gleamed with a mix of greed and anticipation.
The trio shared a smile, a sense of shared purpose uniting them. They continued their advance, their steps careful yet purposeful. However, a hint of overconfidence could be detected in their demeanor.
Little did they know, the true extent of Zorvax and Ophelia’s power. Their underestimation of the duo could prove to be a critical oversight.
As they moved closer to where Zorvax and Ophelia were last seen, the air grew tense with the impending confrontation. The group’s anticipation was palpable, but so was their unawareness of the challenge they were about to face.
