Zombolution: Unleash the Undying Power

Chapter 22: General's Dead

The three of them soon arrived at the desolate location where the general lay lifeless, surrounded by a group of survivors who looked upon the scene with a mix of concern and uncertainty.

Viktor wasted no time and hurried to the body, his expression a swirling blend of anger and deep-seated concern etched across his face. He turned to the survivors, his voice demanding answers. "What happened here?" he asked, his eyes piercing with intensity.

The survivors exchanged anxious glances, their eyes darting between each other. One of them stammered, "We don't know, sir. He just... he suddenly fell down and died."

Viktor's anger flared, and he couldn't contain his frustration. He cursed softly under his breath, the words a barely audible undercurrent of his exasperation. As he bent down to examine the lifeless form of the general, the atmosphere in the room became palpably tense. The survivors exchanged uneasy glances, silently observing the unfolding drama.

With meticulous care, Viktor held the body up for a closer inspection, his fingers brushing against something wet at the back of the general's head. The sudden withdrawal of his fingers only added to the tension of the moment, and the survivors held their breath, not daring to speak.

"Damn it," Viktor muttered, his voice laced with anger. He checked the back of the general's head and found a patch of dried blood. The revelation of a gunshot wound was a shocking discovery, and it sent shivers down the spines of the onlookers.

Viktor's fury intensified, and he couldn't contain it any longer. He shouted, "He's been shot!" The sheer force of his words reverberated through the room, echoing the magnitude of the revelation.

Zorvax, who had been observing the unfolding situation with growing curiosity, couldn't help but interject, "General? Shot?"

Viktor's response was swift, his voice seething with anger as he confirmed, "I know an awakener with the Eagle Eye ability. He's the leader of the Green Eagle Group."

As Viktor clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white from the pressure of his emotions. "So they want to start a war now, huh?" he growled, his expression a storm of anger and determination.

The survivors exchanged worried glances, knowing that the discovery of the general's death and the possibility of an impending conflict had set the stage for a new set of challenges and mysteries in this ever-evolving world.

Viktor, still seething over the situation, turned his attention to Zorvax, who had drawn his colossal bone sword and was now pointing it directly at him. The sudden move caught Viktor by surprise, and he demanded in a bewildered tone, "What are you doing?"

Zorvax's response was brief and to the point. "They're here," he stated calmly.

Viktor's confusion deepened, but before he could voice his concerns, Zorvax swiftly swung the colossal sword. A resounding noise echoed through the room, and in front of Viktor, a bullet fell in two neatly severed pieces.

The action left Viktor momentarily stunned as he watched the broken bullet fragments tumble to the ground. Zorvax's quick reflexes and the might of his colossal bone sword had defied the laws of physics, sparing Viktor from harm.

Amidst the palpable tension and the lingering unease in the room, Viktor couldn't suppress a frustrated shout. His brow furrowed with irritation as he muttered, "To think that they're still here!"

Zorvax, standing tall with his colossal bone sword at the ready, offered a calm and collected response, his posture unwavering. "No, they've left."

Viktor, still perturbed by the recent turn of events, muttered another quiet curse under his breath, his eyes narrowing in contemplation. "Damn it."

He then turned his gaze toward Zorvax, curiosity gleaming in his eyes as he posed a rather unexpected question. "Do you want to become the general?"

Zorvax, taken aback by the term and Viktor's proposal, blinked in mild confusion. "General?"

Viktor, seizing the chance to clarify, leaned forward in his seat and explained, "The general essentially serves as the second-in-command of the group. It's a role of significant importance."

As the realization dawned on Zorvax, a subtle smile gradually graced his lips, and he nodded in agreement. He saw this as an opportunity to solidify his position within the Red Shark Group. In response, Viktor mirrored the smile, securing Zorvax as a strong and capable addition to their ranks.

As the solemn atmosphere settled around the lifeless form of the fallen general, Zorvax approached the body, his demeanor a mixture of respect and curiosity. Just then, a peculiar panel screen materialized before him, catching him off guard.

The displayed options left Zorvax in a state of surprise:

---

[Summon Available]

[100 Evolution Points to summon: Yes/No]

---

Zorvax couldn't help but be taken aback by this unexpected development. The appearance of the panel seemed closely tied to his proximity to the deceased general. Pondering the situation, he silently mused, "So the summon function works like this."

Curiosity and intrigue danced in his mind as he considered the implications. He had encountered other deceased individuals in the past, and now, a new avenue had opened before him.

With an inquisitive spirit, Zorvax walked back to Viktor, where the leader was engrossed in thoughts. He couldn't help but be curious about the identity of the fallen general. As he approached Viktor, he inquired, "Was the general an awakener?"

Viktor, leaning against a nearby table, responded with a solemn nod. "Yes, the general was indeed an awakener. He possessed the ability of arm enhancement."

Zorvax absorbed this information with a grateful nod, a newfound appreciation for the world he inhabited blossoming in his thoughts. He expressed his thanks to Viktor and couldn't help but smile, realizing that it was only the awakeners who could be summoned.

After declining the [Yes] option for summoning, Zorvax chose to explore more about this unique world and its mysteries. He ventured back to the room that had been generously provided to him by the members of the Red Shark Group.

Within the confines of his own space, he had a chance to reflect on the events of the day and consider his future. The evolving world was fraught with challenges, but Zorvax was determined to adapt, grow, and discover all that it had to offer.
