Chapter 81: Attacking The Humans
Zorvax’s journey brought him closer to the human camp where Ophelia was held captive. He paused for a moment, not far from the camp’s perimeter, concealed by the ruins of a crumbled building. His eyes, sharp and calculating, scanned the area, assessing the situation.
He opened his system again, hoping against hope that he was close enough this time. He tapped on Ophelia’s name, his finger hovering over the summon option.

[The target was too far away]

The message was the same: a blunt reminder of his current limitation. Zorvax’s expression hardened with frustration. "Still too far," he grumbled, his voice a low growl of annoyance.
He knew he needed to get closer, but how close was close enough? The uncertainty nagged at him. With a shake of his head, Zorvax pushed the thought aside. "No use guessing," he decided, his tone now resolute. "I’ll just have to get as close as I can."
But before he could inch any closer, Zorvax paused, surveying his surroundings. He noticed a multitude of zombies roaming nearby. They varied in appearance – some were staggering level 1s, others were more formidable level 2s, and a few daunting level 3s roamed among them.
Zorvax turned his attention back to the camp, his eyes narrowing. "You started this," he whispered, a cold edge to his voice. It was time to play his trump card – his unique ability, Zombie Ruler.
With a deep breath, Zorvax focused his energy, feeling the familiar surge of power course through him. He tapped into the minds of the nearby zombies, exerting his will over them. "Attack the camp," he commanded mentally, his voice echoing in the minds of the undead.
Immediately, the level 1 and level 2 zombies responded to his command, focusing on the human camp. Their movements, once aimless, now had a purpose. They began swarming towards the camp, a relentless tide of undead fury.
Some level 3 zombies, sensing the shift in the air, joined the fray, their powerful forms adding to the onslaught. Zorvax watched as the advancing horde engulfed the camp.
For once, Zorvax didn’t hold back. He unleashed all his power, directing the zombies with simple yet effective orders. Despite being a level 2 zombie, his strength rivalled that of a regular level 3. And with his strategic command, even the more formidable zombies fell in line, attacking the camp with renewed vigour.
The scene before him was one of chaos and destruction. Zombies swarmed the camp’s defences, overwhelming the humans with sheer numbers and ferocity. Zorvax looked on, a grim smile playing on his lips. "You forced my hand," he said, almost as if speaking to the humans defending their camp.
He knew that, individually, zombies were stronger than humans. The only advantage humans had was their intellect and strategy. But now, with Zorvax leading the zombie horde, that advantage was nullified.
As the horde of zombies, commanded by Zorvax, converged on the human camp, the bionic human guards were quick to react. The sound of the alarm blared through the camp, a piercing, urgent call to arms.
"Alert! Alert! Zombie breach!" the voice over the loudspeakers announced, its tone frantic yet commanding. The guards, all of whom were formidable level 2 bionics, hurried to their positions. These guards were the result of extensive experimentation with level 2 zombies, making them exceptionally strong and resilient.
Despite their strength, the sheer number of zombies advancing towards them was overwhelming. "Positions, everyone!" shouted the captain of the guards, a tall, bionic human with a stern expression. His eyes scanned the approaching threat, assessing the situation with a tactical mind.
The guards quickly formed a defensive line, their weapons at the ready. The sound of guns being loaded and safety catches being released filled the air, adding to the tense atmosphere.
"Remember your training," the captain continued, his voice firm and steady. "We’ve handled worse. Stay sharp and focus on taking them down one at a time."
As the first wave of zombies crashed against their defenses, the guards sprang into action. The sound of gunfire erupted, punctuated by the guttural growls of the zombies. Despite their bionic enhancements, the guards found themselves hard-pressed to hold back the tide.
Inside the camp, the chaos was palpable. Scientists and technicians, unaccustomed to combat, scrambled for safety. "What’s happening?" cried one young technician, her face pale with fear.
"They’re attacking in full force," replied a more seasoned scientist, his voice tinged with disbelief. "We never anticipated an assault of this magnitude."
Meanwhile, Zorvax watched from a distance, his expression unreadable. His plan was unfolding as expected, yet he remained vigilant, aware that the situation could change at any moment.
As he prepared to join the battle, he checked his system one last time, hoping to summon Ophelia. But the message was the same:
---
[The target was too far away]

A scowl crossed Zorvax’s face, his frustration evident. "I have to get her back," he muttered under his breath, his resolve hardening.
With a determined stride, he began to advance towards the camp, his movements graceful and deadly. He knew that every moment he delayed, Ophelia’s danger increased. It was time to take matters into his own hands.
The battle raged on, the sound of conflict echoing through the deserted streets. The zombies, under Zorvax’s command, fought with a ferocity that was unnerving. The bionic guards, for all their training and enhancements, were gradually being overwhelmed.
"Push them back!" the captain yelled, firing his weapon at an approaching zombie. "Don’t let them breach the inner perimeter!"
But despite their efforts, the zombies kept coming, their numbers seemingly endless. The guards fought valiantly, but it was clear that they were losing ground.
In the midst of the chaos, Zorvax moved like a shadow, his eyes fixed on the camp. He knew that Ophelia was somewhere inside, and he would stop at nothing to find her.
As he neared the camp, he could see the guards struggling to fend off the zombies. "This is just the beginning," he whispered to himself, a grim smile on his lips. The humans might have thought themselves superior with their minds and bionic enhancements, but under his command, the zombies were a force to be reckoned with.
Zorvax’s advance was methodical and precise. He took down any guard that came in his way, his movements a blur of speed and efficiency. His focus was singular – find Ophelia and rescue her from the clutches of the humans.
