However, because Elijah and his group were in a state of invisibility, and they were surrounded by a group of obviously formidable zombies, the survivors they encountered avoided them.
"It seems that after a month has passed, most survivors are experiencing a shortage of supplies or have realized the reality and started coming out to search for resources!"
Elijah murmured to himself after seeing a street-side convenience store completely emptied.
Then he turned to Lillian and said, "It's getting late now. Let's find a safe place to rest."
"Okay!" Lillian replied, holding Nora without any objection.
They walked a bit further, and suddenly, the number of zombies decreased. Elijah suspected there was a survivor settlent nearby.
He planned to find a nearby house and also see if they could gather any information from these survivors.
Just as Elijah was about to turn into a residential area, Lillian suddenly grabbed his arm. Elijah looked at her in confusion.
Lillian whispered to Elijah, "There are three people coming this way!"
Elijah listened carefully and soon heard the footsteps of three people. Their voices gradually beca audible as well.
"Dominic, do you think these people will obediently join our group?" one of them asked.
"Hey, we've already expanded to the surrounding area. It's better if they cooperate. If they don't..." Dominic sneered, "They'll get a taste of Ethan's thods!"
The person who asked the question shivered involuntarily, seemingly recalling sothing, then forced a smile and said, "Right! Right! Let's hurry back to the mall. We've lost quite a bit of ti trying to recruit them."
As the voices got closer, the three figures gradually ca into Elijah's sight. All three were n. The one in the middle was extrely tall and muscular, almost like a giant. To his right was a fat man, nodding and bowing, and to his left was a slender man about 1.7 ters tall with an expressionless face.
The three n erged from the residential area and headed straight west. At this point, the fat man glanced in Elijah's direction, and his face imdiately showed a horrified expression.
"Dominic, there are zombies behind us!"
"What?" Dominic turned to look at Elijah and was also shocked to see the group of second-level zombies.
"Damn it, didn't you activate your perception ability?" Dominic cursed in a low voice.
"I did!" the fat man replied, almost in tears.
"Keep your voices down, those zombies haven't noticed us yet!" the expressionless skinny man suddenly reminded them.
Hearing this, the fat man and Dominic fell silent and carefully observed.
Sure enough, they noticed that the group of zombies was just wandering aimlessly and hadn't detected them or moved towards them.
This was because Elijah had ordered the zombies to pretend.
"Damn it, there must be a mutant zombie among them that can shield my perception!" The fat man, feeling bolder now that there was no imdiate danger, started cursing again.
"Not only that, but these zombies are all very sturdy and not at all sluggish. They must have been supplented with flesh, especially the two at the front; they're tall and strong. They could also be mutant zombies!" the skinny man analyzed.
"Should we lure them over and take care of them?" the fat man asked Dominic.
"Forget it, we're here to seize supplies from the mall. No need to complicate things. Besides, these zombies look tough and are blocking the way. This will give the people in the settlent sothing to think about," Dominic sneered.
"Dominic's plan is brilliant!" The fat man flattered him, and then the three continued westward.
"Group? Mall? Recruitnt?" Elijah silently watched the three leave without making a move. Being new here and unfamiliar with the surroundings, he decided to observe and gather information first.
Once the three were out of sight, Elijah led his group to a nearby house and settled Lillian and Nora inside.
"We'll rest here tonight. Nora, I have a task for you. Is that okay?" Elijah said.
"What task do you have for , uncle?" Nora asked curiously.
Elijah took out the spirit plant, which had been mostly consud by Abigail, from his backpack and handed it to Nora.
"This plant is very important to . I'm going out for a while and can't take it with . Can you look after it for ?"
Nora's small hands accepted the pot.
Though it wasn't heavy, it weighed down her hands a bit, but she managed to hold it steadily.
She looked at the plant, which had only one leaf, with wave-like patterns and several firefly-like glows that appeared and disappeared around it, creating a magical effect.
"Don't worry, uncle, I will take good care of it!" Nora said solemnly, like a little adult.
"Good! I trust you!" Elijah wanted Nora to look after the plant to prevent it from emitting those strange fluctuations that could attract zombies. Nora's ability was perfect for shielding it.
anwhile, Lillian asked worriedly, "Are you going out? It's getting dark."
"Yes, I plan to scout the nearby settlent and the mall for information. Don't worry, I'll leave Abigail and this group of zombies here to protect you."

"Abigail?" Lillian looked in shock at the female zombie who seed familiar to her.
"Oh, right, I forgot to ntion. Abigail is the most special zombie I've contracted. She has her own consciousness and is no different from a normal human," Elijah explained, calling Abigail over.
"Abigail, I'm going out for a while. Stay here and protect them!"
"No problem!" Abigail's blood-red eyes glanced at Lillian before she pouted at Elijah. "But I'm running out of second-level candy."
"Uh..." Elijah scratched his head and reluctantly took out the remaining three second-level corpse cores.
"Use them sparingly; these are my last ones!"
"But you still have a third-level one, don't you?" Abigail quickly grabbed the three second-level corpse cores and looked at Elijah with fiery eyes.
"That one... I can't give you; I need it for sothing else!" Elijah said sternly. "Anyway, take good care of them!"
"Got it, mission accepted!" Abigail replied happily, then ran off with the corpse cores.
Lillian stared at Abigail, both shocked and puzzled. "Can zombies regain their intelligence?"
"I'm not sure. So far, Abigail is the only example I've seen," Elijah shrugged. "Alright, you two have dinner. I'll be back soon!"
"Be careful!" Lillian urged.
