At this moment, the third-tier zombie was in a miserable state.


    Aside from some minor scrapes and bruises, the most noticeable injuries were two bowl-sized bloody holes and five gashes on its back.


    These were caused by two power zombies and a steel w zombie.


    Through the two bowl-sized holes, shattered lung and heart tissues were visible, and the five gashes prated its body, mirrored on the zombie''s chest.


    Even Elijah''s back bore five distinct white marks from cuts.


    If not for Elijah''s strong defense, the steel w zombie alone could have skewered him.


    Although the steel w zombie didn''t harm Elijah, the two power zombies had hammered him so hard that he felt like his internal organs had shifted, even with the third-tier zombie taking the brunt of the attack.


    His robust defense barely kept him intact, unlike the third-tier zombie, which had directly endured the hits.


    The third-tier zombie was nowpletely motionless, but Elijah stayed vignt, holding it firmly.


    He dragged it to an open space and ordered Abigail to decapitate it.


    Only then was the threat, which had been stealthily lurking and waiting to strike,pletely neutralized.


    Elijah tossed the third-tier zombie''s body aside, took out his knife, and pried open its head to retrieve an emerald-green corpse core.


    "A third-tier corpse core!"


    Elijah cleaned the knife and the corpse core with a cloth and examined it closely.


    It was his first time seeing a third-tier corpse core, as beautiful as an emerald.


    As he observed it, Abigail''s eyes gleamed with desire, and she couldn''t stop swallowing.


    "Mmm~ It must be delicious. I really want it!"


    Unfortunately for her, Elijah quickly pocketed it. He then collected seven second-tier corpse cores he had used as bait.


    These seven corpse cores had served their purpose well!


    After the third-tier zombie failed to assassinate Abigail, Elijah suspected he might be the next target.


    So, he openly ced seven second-tier corpse cores as bait and positioned a few zombies in a surrounding formation.


    Secretly, he also set up more zombies targeting himself.


    If the third-tier zombie couldn''t resist the bait and went for the seven corpse cores, it would face an all-out attack from Elijah and the other zombies.


    If the zombie saw through the trap and targeted Elijah instead, Elijah would rely on his defense to withstand the attack, capture the zombie, and prevent it from hiding again.


    Elijah''s confidence came from Abigail''s ability to withstand the third-tier zombie''s previous attack with her defensive powers.


    The zombie wouldn''t have guessed that Elijah had the same ability. Thus, everything went ording to Elijah''s n.


    Thinking of the voice that warned him, Elijah nced at a nearby multi-story building. On the third-floor balcony, a woman was looking at him in shock.


    Lillian couldn''t believe how powerful this man was! She had witnessed that elusive, dark red zombie systematically eliminate the survivors in this area.


    Among them was a person with seemingly superhuman strength, who also couldn''t withstand the zombie''s sneak attack.


    Only she and Nora, for some unknown reason, had escaped detection.


    Just moments ago, facing the zombie''s ambush, this man didn''t even dodge.


    He took the zombie''s attack head-on and thenmanded the other zombies to attack both him and the zombie.


    Lillian was astonished by the disy, especially by the two powerful zombies who sted the man and the zombie away like cannonballs.


    What shocked her even more was that while the zombie was left in tatters, the man appeared unscathed, only slightly dirty.


    "Who is this man? How can he be unharmed by such a strong attack and evenmand these zombies?" Lillian murmured to herself.


    Continue your adventure at m|v-l''e m,p| y- r


    Then she saw the man extract something from the dead zombie''s head, examine it briefly, and look her way.


    "Thanks for the warning earlier. Would you mind if we came over to talk?" the man said.


    "Of... course!" Lillian responded nervously, then watched as the man smiled slightly and walked into her building.


    Elijah did not let the zombies follow him. Instead, Abigailmanded them to spread out and keep watch. Elijah walked into the building alone.


    He didn''t bring the zombies along, as he was afraid of scaring the other party, although the woman might have already sensed through her abilities that he was apanied by a group of zombies!


    Soon, Elijah arrived on the third floor. Relying on his memory, he found the room where the woman was located. Just as he reached the door and before he could knock, the door opened by itself.


    At the same time, the woman from the balcony appeared at the doorway.


    "She indeed has sensing abilities and can even perceive through walls!" Elijah thought while also taking a clear look at the woman in front of him.


    The woman appeared to be in her thirties, wearing a white shirt and ck trousers.


    She had a curvaceous figure, with her shirt stretched tight and the top two buttons unable to close, revealing a bit of cleavage that was quite eye-catching.


    Below her chest, her waist became very slender, almost small enough to be grasped by one hand, making one want to hold it with both hands.


    Further down, her hips red out in a dramatic curve,parable to her shoulder width, forming a beautiful shape, and extending into two plump, long legs, making her figure appear especially tall and elegant.


    Moreover, her face was also very attractive, with a blend of delicate and striking features.


    She exuded the unique charm of a mature woman.


    The only pity was that her face was a bit pale and slightly haggard, which detracted a bit from her beauty.


    For some reason, Elijah felt that this woman looked somewhat familiar.


    "Sorry... Can we talk outside? My child is still sleeping," the woman said, somewhat nervously.


    Hearing this, Elijah looked into the living room through the entrance and indeed saw a little girl sleeping on the sofa.


    "Of course," Elijah replied indifferently. It didn''t matter to him where they talked.


    Upon hearing this, Lillian carefully closed the door.


    "Is it okay to leave the child alone at home?"


    "It''s fine. Nora is very sensible. Whenever I went out to look for food and water before, she stayed home alone. She''s very brave!" Lillian said proudly. "By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lillian!"


    "I''m Elijah. Thank you very much for your warning earlier!"


    "No need. If anyone should be thanking, it should be me thanking you. If you hadn''t killed that vicious zombie, we would have been trapped in themunity and starved to death!" Lillian shook her head.


    At the same time, her stomach growled a few times, and her pale face blushed slightly, making Elijah momentarily dazed.


    "You were trapped here by that zombie?"


    Having been exposed to many beauties on the ind, Elijah quickly recovered and asked curiously.


    At the same time, he took some wafers and bottled water from his bag and handed them to Lillian.


    "Here is some food and water. Have some. After all, you did help me in a way!"


    "Thank you!"


    Lillian did not refuse. Even if she didn''t need it, her child needed to replenish food and water.
