The zombie evaded Isaac''s de, its neck immediately regenerating.


    Its body shot out along the knife handle.


    Isaac witnessed such a bizarre zombie for the first time, its body boneless and flexible, capable of unimaginable movements, akin to a snake, and remarkably fast!


    Seeing the zombie approaching, he reluctantly let go of the knife handle, swiftly retreated, and ran away at full speed, soon disappearing into the distance.


    While the zombie''s close-quarters agility was impressive, its pursuit speed wascking.


    After a couple of steps, realizing it couldn''t catch up, it turned back to Henry''s side.


    This zombie was naturally the mutated female zombie controlled by Elijah.


    However, due to the distance, Elijah could no longer exert precise control.


    He could onlymand her to feign copse and attack passing individuals.


    At this moment, themand had beenpleted, restrictions lifted, and she reverted to her instinctual state, immediately ignited with a desire for flesh and blood at the sight of living beings in front of her.


    Henry was still howling in agony, his body drenched in blood.


    He wished he could pass out, but unfortunately couldn''t.


    Though the pain was intense, he could still barely endure it.


    As he watched the zombie inch closer, fear filled his eyes.


    "Isaac...!"


    He roared, recalling Isaac''s words when he once pped his shoulder:


    "Women are like clothes, but men are like brothers!"


    Now it was just the two of them.


    They should look out for each other, never leave nor forsake.


    He remembered that I had just been dragged back by him, stood in front of him, and received a bite from the zombie.


    He thought of the machete still lodged in his bones.


    "Go to hell, you bloody brother!"


    "Damn your mother!"


    Then everything went ck before him, and he lost consciousnesspletely!


    ...


    Azure Isle, inside a luxurious hotel.


    "Do you have others with you?"


    Fiona''s face finally lost itsposure.


    If it was just the two of them, even if they demanded control of Azure Isle, she would have the confidence to take the lead.


    But if their numbers exceeded theirs and they were powerful, then it wouldn''t be so certain.


    "Yes! So, Fiona, do you agree to let me take over Azure Isle?


    Rest assured, you won''t be driven out, but given the same conditions you just mentioned to us.


    I''ll allow you to choose a mansion as your residence and enjoy the ind''s public resources for free, such as water and electricity!"


    The two sat facing each other, Elijah leaning in slightly, exerting his dominance for the first time.


    "Do I have the choice to refuse?"


    Fiona quickly regained herposure.


    She said expressionlessly, "You let Isaac go on purpose, didn''t you? Isn''t it for this moment?"


    "Who said I let Isaac go?"


    Elijah smiled faintly.


    "I see..."


    Fiona suddenly understood.


    "You''ve also set up an ambush outside!"


    She understood everything.


    On the surface, Elijah let Isaac go to gain some of their trust while simultaneously putting pressure on them.


    They would feel grateful but also want to keep Elijah to prevent Isaac''s retaliation.


    Behind the scenes, Elijah and his group had set up another ambush topletely deal with Isaac.


    In the end, regardless of the negotiation oue, the initiative had already fallen into Elijah''s hands as they entered the hotel.


    They had both strength and people.


    The few weak women among them couldn''t resist even if they wanted to.


    It was a cunning n indeed!


    Elijah naturally had no idea about Fiona''s spections.


    His thoughts were simple. Fiona and her group were familiar with everything on the ind, unlike him and Daisy, who were clueless.


    Moreover, they were all women—rtively safe and easy to control.


    Leaving them behind would facilitate his familiarization with and management of the ind in the future.


    Letting Isaac go was indeed deliberate, to create a sense of crisis among them and make them more receptive to these outsiders.


    As for letting the zombie attack Isaac, it was just a casual act. Sess was a joy, but failure didn''t matter.


    Once hepletely migrated to this ind, he would naturally have a way to secure it.


    "It could also be seen as a person, right, Fiona? Do you agree?" Elijah didn''t exin.


    "We have a few conditions!" Fiona said.


    "Please, go on."


    "We acknowledge your upation of this ce, bing the lord of the ind, and we''ll ept you as the leader. But the condition is... I want to be your girlfriend!"


    Suddenly, Fiona smiled, uttering words that shocked everyone.


    Behind Elijah, Gabriel raised an eyebrow, a hint of joy on his face! Is this... bing a brother-inw for real?


    Elijah couldn''t understand what Fiona was up to, but by now, he understood what Daisy wanted. Daisy''s small hand was on his waist, and if his answer wasn''t satisfactory, it might be a fatal blow!


    "Do you really take my little brother seriously?" Oops, no, what little brother? "Gabriel was just joking, you don''t have to take it seriously!" Elijah forced a smile.


    "Elijah, I''m not joking. I really think you two... aren''tpatible!" Gabriel was originally excited, but seeing Daisy staring at him fiercely, he quickly changed his tune.


    Fiona watched this scene, relieved.


    Her biggest worry was that Elijah might have designs on them.


    As the leader and sisters in life and death, she had to take responsibility for the other three women no matter what.


    Although Elijah didn''t seem like a lecherous person like Isaac, appearances could be deceiving.


    In contrast, Daisy was much more astute, so she had to try probing.


    "I think I''m serious! I''ve thought it through, and Gabriel''s suggestion is quite good. You''re not bad looking, and you must be quite strong! I consider myself not bad looking too. Don''t you think I''m not good enough for you?" Fiona bit her lip lightly, giving him a seductive look.


    Elijah couldn''t help but swallow. Not only not bad looking, she was stunningly beautiful, alright! But feeling the tightening grip of the small hand on his waist, Elijah chuckled.


    "Fiona, you''re kidding. I already have a girlfriend..." Elijah put his arm around Daisy''s shoulder.


    "Hmph!" Daisy huffed, ring at Fiona!


    Fiona seemed to just realize, surprised, "So you two... I''m sorry, I was presumptuous! Then, let me talk about other requests!"


    Elijah looked at Fiona, who could barely contain her smile, suddenly realizing. Is this woman testing me? Oh well, let''s hear what conditions she has.


    After all, there''s plenty of time in the future! I''ll make up for it sooner orter.


    "As for the first condition, you cannot forcibly interfere with our lives or make us do things we don''t want to do!"


    "That''s natural. Although it''s the end of the world, we still have to abide by basicws and moral bottom lines. No one can force you, and neither can I. If there really is anything, I''ll discuss it with you in advance and respect your opinions!" Elijah replied solemnly.


    "As for the second condition, if there are any more people joining us in the future, I hope we can be notified. If this person is not to our liking, we have the right to veto!"


    "Hmm..." Elijah pondered for a moment.
