He had no idea what Elijah was talking about.
But then he seed to rember sothing and said in horror, "The corpse core you ntioned... is it the Magic Crystal?"
"It seems so people call it that!" Elijah replied. As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of cold light glead in his hand, and a sharp dagger plunged directly into Nathan's throat.
"Gurgle... gurgle..."
Nathan didn't have ti to dodge; he could only instinctively cover his throat with his hands, trying to press down on the wound Elijah had inflicted.
But it was useless. Blood gushed out of the wound, a considerable amount entering his esophagus and mouth, causing him to vomit blood profusely.
Nathan stared at Elijah with wide, angry eyes, not understanding why this person had suddenly attacked him.
Even knowing the few pieces of information he provided, keeping him alive for mutual verification would have been beneficial!
He was unwilling! So unwilling!
As his blood drained away, Nathan's consciousness began to blur, his heart filled with various resentnts and anger, fueling him to use his last strength to grab at Elijah.
But in the next mont, a flash of cold light, and the hand reaching for Elijah was smashed by a bright silver spear, dropping limply.
But Elijah wasn't satisfied with that and continued smashing Nathan's remaining three limbs with the spear.
"Although I had so grudges with this person, you must rember, in this world today, if anyone shows malice or intent to kill you, don't be rciful. Your kindness won't earn their forgiveness. When given the chance, they will retaliate a hundredfold!" Elijah lectured the won.
"I understand, Elijah!" Lily nodded.
"Yes!" Sophia, who had first discovered Nathan and observed his every move, fully understood that if it were only her, her fate would have been dire.
So she didn't feel that Elijah's attack was wrong.
Hannah and Fiona, needless to say, stood firmly on Elijah's side since choosing him.
At this point, Nathan's eyes finally beca vacant, slowly turning blood-red.
As he lost consciousness, the zombie virus began to take over his body.
Soon, Nathan fully zombified, his mouth suddenly opening wide and letting out a terrifying roar at Elijah.
"Roar~"
Unfortunately, Nathan's arms and legs had been smashed by Elijah, rendering him immobile, making his roars seem absurd and laughable.
"Thunk!" Elijah's spear thrust forward, piercing Nathan's brain completely. This ti, he was truly dead.
Elijah then extracted a second-tier corpse core from Nathan's head.
"Consider it a reward for my rcy!" Elijah muttered, pocketing the corpse core.
If it were according to his initial thoughts after being reborn, he would have thrown him into a horde of zombies to let him experience being torn apart and eaten alive.
However, considering the information Nathan provided about Olivia's mother, Elijah decided to give him a quick death.
Thinking of Olivia's mother, Elijah told the won, "When we get back, don't ntion this to Olivia. Fiona and I will talk to her."
"Okay!"
"Got it!"
Sophia, Lily, and Hannah responded in unison.
"Alright, let's clear a buffer zone around the gas station and then head back!"
Elijah clapped his hands, signaling the won to continue their work.
At the sa ti, he gestured to Sophia to collect Nathan's body.
After all, it was a second-tier body, and Whitey would likely appreciate it.
Sophia understood and found a bag to put Nathan's body in, then placed it in the car.
The group then worked for over an hour, using the vehicles as outer barriers and the fencing as inner barriers, to create a safety buffer zone around the gas station.
They also set up another layer of protection inside the gas station.
Once everything was finished, they got back into the car and drove back.
They didn't take all the supplies from the convenience store; the car didn't have enough space, and they wanted to leave so food for the people who would be guarding the area.
Since they had cleared the way earlier, the return journey was smooth, and they soon arrived back at the service area by the shore.
As they entered the service area, they imdiately saw Quentin leading a group of people waiting there.
"Boss, you're back!" Quentin eagerly watched Elijah park the car.
"Yeah, have you been waiting long?" Elijah asked.
"Not too long, just two hours!" Quentin replied with a big grin.
"Alright, I'll go get the awakening potion for you right away! By the way, have you decided who will use it?" Elijah asked.
"We'll follow your orders, Boss!" Quentin said seriously.
"No, I won't decide. I told you I wouldn't interfere with your team managent!" Elijah replied.
"Well... alright then!" Quentin rubbed his hands and then pulled Zachary over. "Let's have Zachary awaken first!"
"Quentin..." Zachary looked at Quentin gratefully.
"Okay, just wait a bit longer!" Elijah patted Zachary on the shoulder.
"Alright, Boss! No rush!" Zachary tried to contain his excitent.
Seeing this, Elijah said nothing more and had Sophia take Nathan's body and return to the island with so of the won.
Sophia went alone to feed Whitey, while Elijah and the others returned to the villa.
By this ti, Charlotte and her group had already returned and were resting in the living room.
"You're back early today!" Elijah remarked.
"We advanced another two kiloters south. The safe zone is now large enough. We'll leave that area to Quentin and his group. If they want to expand it further, they can do it themselves!" Charlotte replied.
"Exactly, we can't keep doing all the work for our subordinates!" Elijah nodded and then walked into the spirit plants cultivation room.
Currently, he had four spirit plants.
The Crystal Grass had grown more luxuriant over the past two days but still hadn't developed any apertures.
Although Elijah wasn't in a hurry initially, seeing Nathan today made him eager to cultivate another third-tier ability user.
This would ensure that when he went to the west suburb to seek revenge on Matthew, there would be soone to guard the island and keep everyone safe.
So, he buried the second-tier defense zombie's corpse core he got yesterday and today's second-tier stealth ability user's corpse core under the Crystal Grass, hoping to accelerate its growth.
Besides the Crystal Grass, he had three zombie grasses. One was in the seedling stage, which he had just harvested yesterday.
Another was in the early production stage, and the last one was in the mid-production stage.
The mid-stage zombie grass's third leaf had basically grown and was ready for awakening use.
To be safe, Elijah used Katherine's ability to hasten its growth a bit before cutting it down.
Then, using Bella's ability, he revitalized the zombie grass, allowing it to continue growing from the seedling stage.
He then put the zombie grass in a juicer, added so cucumber, celery, sugar, and other ingredients, blended it all together, and poured it into an empty bottle.
"Alright, the awakening potion is ready!" Elijah announced.
