Lying on the ground, the young female evolver was a mix of shame and rage.
But anger solved nothing, and the livor mortis patches on her face continued to spread.
Soon, she would truly begin to turn into a corpse.
"Oh, getting angry, are we? That's good, anger is good! Where was that spirit before? I love how you disgust me yet can't do anything about it! Weren't you acting all aloof and divine, as if us even looking at you was a sacrilege, you who never deigns to look anyone in the eye! What now, can't I mess around with ordinary women? What does it have to do with you? Or are you upset because you weren't included in the fun? You tried to ruin me! Hahaha, well, here comes your karma! You had it coming!"
The man held a slender long sword, his face twisted into a mocking and repulsive grin.
Among the three, the woman also raised her sword, stabbing fiercely at the general.
She didn't even bother to speak, dealing with ordinary people seemed like a waste of time with just the motion of stabbing.
However, her sword did not hit Maxwell as she had expected; instead, she was blown away by a pair of fists.
The woman's body slammed heavily against the wall, immediately spitting out blood. She looked up, overwhelmed with surprise!
"It's a mutated zombie! How could there be a mutated zombie here!"
She shouted.
"What? A mutated zombie?"
The two men exchanged a glance, not even sparing a look at the young female evolver or their female companion, and immediately tried to escape through the window.
However, could they really escape just like that?
In front of the window, two female zombies suddenly appeared, blocking their escape route.
It was Eva and another level 9 female zombie.
"How can this be!"
"I'm fighting back!"
The two men, gritting their teeth in anger, one unleashed a burst of flame at a female zombie, while the other drew a long sword and heavily chopped at Eva.
But Eva, having advanced to level 10, was quick to react. She dodged the blade by shifting to the side and bit down hard on the man's wrist.
Her movements were so fast, no one even noticed until it was done.
"I've been bitten! I've been bitten by a zombie! Aaaaah!"
The man screamed hoarsely as he flung Eva off and clutched his wrist.
He began to panic.
Fighting zombies at close range always carried the risk of being bitten, and for them, a bite meant the end.
Caught off-guard, the man was quickly exploited by Eva. Seizing the opportunity, Eva struck his chest with her small fist. Despite her small size, as a level 10 zombie, her seemingly gentle punch packed hundreds of pounds of force.
Struck directly in the chest by Eva's punch, the man's chest caved in, leaving him with little hope.
Meanwhile, the other man, who was slightly stronger, cursed under his breath as his burst of flame hit the level 9 female zombie, burning away half her life.
Seeing this, Maxwell quickly directed the mutated zombie to join the fight.
The man produced another burst of flame, but the mutated zombie seemed fearless, charging through the fire and viciously biting into the man's neck.
The man didn't even have a chance to struggle before his neck was snapped, ending his life instantly.
Of course, he had already been infected with the zombie virus, and although he was now dead, after a while, perhaps even longer, he would still rise and become a new zombie.
Both men were dealt with, and the mutated zombie didn't delay, rushing towards the woman who was still trying to crawl away on the ground, with a punch and a bite.
All three scoundrels were taken care of.
The fight was unimaginably quick.
Elsewhere, the young female evolver watched the three being mercilessly beaten, a flash of satisfaction crossing her eyes, before she slowly closed them. When she reopened them, a bit of clarity had returned.
Then, she turned her gaze to Maxwell, worry creeping into her heart that the zombies might kill him too.
The kind-hearted girl clenched her fists, but she was powerless to change anything; she couldn't save him, nor could she save herself.
As she was thinking, she saw Maxwell walking towards her.
The young female evolver looked puzzled.
Because the ferocious, people-slaying mutated zombie showed no reaction to Maxwell.
"What's your name? I mean your real name?"
Maxwell approached her, gently embraced her, and took her hand.
The transformation of the young female evolver into a zombie was ongoing; she was in pain and convulsing, her hands cold. She reciprocated and gripped Maxwell's hand back.
"My name is Carline..."
Her voice was already weak and becoming unclear as she struggled to utter a few words.
"Carline, with my current abilities, I can't save you, but I can let you live on in another way. Would you want that?"
"Don't rush to answer, just think about it. Although you can't be human now, what if there's a way in the future to turn you back into yourself?"
Maxwell called Eva over, and Carline looked at Eva, seeming to understand something, yet not completely. Her reasoning was fading, and her gaze was becoming vacant.
"Okay…"
She responded unclearly, her voice already carrying the unique gasps and growls of a zombie, her throat sounding like a broken, creaking box.
The last patch of human skin on her face was covered by the livor mortis.
The young female evolver's last bits of consciousness faded away.
Her tightly clenched hand loosened.
Maxwell gently laid her back down on the ground.
Carline was a powerful evolver, and her transformation into a zombie took a relatively long time, at least a few minutes.
Before this process was complete, Maxwell decided to first clear out the three human scum.
Among them, the awakened one killed by Eva turned into a zombie first.
In less than a minute, his transformation was complete, and he shakily rose from the ground, screaming and lunging at Maxwell.
Maxwell's mutated zombie quickly dealt with him, then Maxwell stored him in his spatial dimension.
Wow!
It turned out to be a level 5 zombie!
However, this guy must have weakened considerably after becoming a zombie.
Maxwell already had a level 5 zombie in his spatial dimension. He decisively processed the two zombies, fusing them into a new level 5 zombie.
This guy thus vanished from this world.
Soon after, another male zombie also got up.
It was the scoundrel who had used flames as a weapon.
