Exclusive Zombie Sacha!

Maxwell checked to see if the two female zombies underground had made any progress.

"Damn, you two really are something!" Maxwell was somewhat speechless.

The underground tunnels were complex, resembling a huge labyrinth. The two zombies wandered around inside, seemingly completely disoriented. It was unclear how they had initially surfaced.

Although the two female zombies seemed to be lost, they were still somehow making their way downward.

Maxwell had a feeling that he would soon find out what was beneath the surface.

...

Supreme Hall was located in a large mountain outside a base city.

In fact, this base city, with its population of over a hundred thousand, was under the jurisdiction of Supreme Hall.

That day, the thunderclap family and the Pena family, along with a large contingent, set off for Supreme Hall.

Without much talk, they went straight into action. The battle was fierce and continued long after it began.

The strength of Supreme Hall was indeed beyond their expectations!

Although the thunderclap and Pena families had the upper hand, taking down Supreme Hall was still a difficult task, indicating that it would cost both families dearly.

This was the thunderclap family's private affair. The Pena family had joined only because they saw a profitable opportunity; they certainly wouldn't be happy about bleeding heavily.

Inside Supreme Hall.

"Father, he has shown us great kindness! It's a life-saving grace! Are you really prepared to do this?" Aubrey said.

Floyd sighed and responded, "How the thunderclap family and Pena family joined forces to deal with our Supreme Hall, unable to take down the academy, and now they've finally eased up, demanding that we hand over the person who killed Samuel. Child, this issue indeed started because of us, but ultimately, the one who killed Samuel is... Father has done nothing and is not that kind of person. Moreover, there were others present at the time, besides us..."

Aubrey was stunned.

At the scene, witnessing everything, aside from the two of them, there were also four others, two men and two women.

It was the other two men who eventually spoke out about Maxwell.

For Supreme Hall, between a stranger and the organization as a whole, it was clear which was more important to them!

The negotiations ended, and the thunderclap family got the answers they wanted.

"One man and two women, unclear voices, and no idea where they went. Supreme Hall gave us this answer; are they playing with us?"

Inside the room, Norris frowned.

"No, they must be telling the truth. Given Floyd's strength, it's possible he could have killed Samuel, but there were others with Samuel at the time. And those people were your men, Norris. You know better than anyone the kind of force they wield together. Norris, Samuel was your brother, and now he's been murdered, with the killer still at large. This matter is yours to handle! You may use anyone from the family. This concerns the honor of our thunderclap family. Whoever dares to mess with our people must pay a price!"

Gross handed Norris a piece of paper with drawings of Maxwell, Eva, and Carline on it.

"Grandfather, please let me borrow Barclay for this task. Just let me find this man, and I, Norris, alone am enough to handle him!"

Norris said confidently, smiling. He was not at the Tier 6 level Floyd had mentioned before; he had already broken through to Tier 7!

"Beep! Daily treasure chest acquired, please open your space to receive the chest!"

As evening approached, the daily treasure chest arrived again.

This time, the first chest Maxwell chose to open was that of the Tier 2 zombie.

Although Maxwell had given her an exclusive zombie slot, he hadn't named her yet; he hadn't thought of a good one.

The chest was green.

"Hopefully, it will contain an exclusive zombie weapon. She's about to enter a competition, after all!" Maxwell thought.

After all, the fighting competition was about to begin, and although she couldn't use abilities, relying on brute strength might work, but she definitely needed a decent weapon. It wouldn't do to have a repeat of the previous incident where the katana Maxwell gave broke upon first clash—that would be really embarrassing!

"Beep! Congratulations, host, you have opened a level 21 treasure chest and received 21 points in all attributes, 21 gene points, 15 ability points, 35 speed points, and obtained zombie equipment: a pair of Swiftstride Boots, and a box of food."

Swiftstride Boots?

It seems that the exclusive slots do tend to yield these special items, but these weren't a weapon.

Maxwell looked at the boots in front of him, which appeared quite ordinary, with nothing special about them.

"But they really do look so ordinary. I don't care much about appearances… Well, hopefully, they perform great!"

Maxwell released the Tier 2 female zombie, handed her the boots, and had her put them on.

"Go on, run and see!"

The Tier 2 female zombie took a stance, and in an instant, she vanished from where she stood. Maxwell turned his head and saw that she had already appeared on the other side of the corridor.

"She's fast!"

"Is this for short bursts of speed?" Maxwell wondered.

"It seems speed might be her strong suit, that's probably why the system produced a pair of boots that enhance speed."

Maxwell nodded, quite pleased. Wearing these boots, the Tier 2 female zombie would likely give him a big surprise.

"It's time to give you a name!"

Maxwell looked at the zombie for a good while before saying, "How about we call you Sacha?"

Since Maxwell had already placed her in an exclusive slot before naming her, the system didn't provide any notification after the naming, but under her exclusive slot, two new characters appeared: Sacha.

Maxwell then brought her back into his space, and began to open other treasure chests.

Afterwards, his body received another boost in enhancement, improving him in various aspects.

"My skin's resistance is so high now, I probably wouldn't even feel it if I got struck by lightning!" Maxwell thought.

Moreover, the bones inside his body had become incredibly hard, likely comparable to steel.

"I really am a huge meat shield! Hahaha!" Maxwell couldn't help but chuckle, turning to look at Eva and Carline, and said with a laugh, "Being a tank standing in front of you guys isn't too bad either!"

In terms of offensive capabilities, Maxwell certainly had them, specifically his lightning attacks. Although he hasn't had this ability for long, thanks to daily enhancements from the treasure chests, the level of this ability should be quite high by now!

These past few days, Maxwell had added a few hundred ability points to it.

And unlike other tank-level Evolvers, his speed and reflexes were top-notch, and his overall abilities were also exceptionally strong.

Although Maxwell hadn't actually learned martial arts, if he were to fight a higher-tier Evolver now, he definitely wouldn't be at a disadvantage, given his physical attributes.

"It's getting dark again!"

Maxwell glanced outside, then turned his attention back to Carline, placing his hand on Carline's shoulder.
