Mysterious Steel Door
Zorvax stood amidst the aftermath of the carnage, his cold, unfeeling eyes fixed on the gruesome scene before him. The system announcements continued to flood his vision:
---
[Evolution Points +25]
[Evolution Points +25]
[Evolution Points +25]
[...]
---
The ever-increasing evolution points had sent a sinister smile creeping across Zorvax's pallid face. He spoke, his voice tinged with a hint of excitement, "It's incredible. The constant rise in my evolution points... it's exhilarating."
As the relentless zombie horde continued its relentless assault, the survivors from the Red Shark and Green Eagle groups found themselves overwhelmed. Their valiant efforts to fend off the encroaching undead proved futile in the face of the unyielding onslaught.
Finally, with the last of the survivors defeated, the scene was transformed into a nightmarish tableau of devastation and desolation. The only figure left standing amidst the bloodstained battleground was Zorvax, his eerie satisfaction evident in his cold, black eyes.
In the eerie silence that followed, Zorvax contemplated his newfound power. He muttered to himself, "But what if I can make the zombies turn on each other?"
With a sinister thought and a swift mental command, Zorvax compelled the zombie horde to attack one another. As the chaotic melee unfolded, the system announcements once again made their appearance:
---
[Evolution Points +1]
[Evolution Points +10]
[Evolution Points +25]
[...]
---
The scene was one of grotesque violence and chaos as the zombies tore into each other with merciless fervour. Zorvax watched with a cold, detached satisfaction. His pale grey skin stretched into a sinister grin. His lifeless eyes fixated on the omnipresent system notification that glowed before him:
---
[Evolution Points: 3000]
---
The sudden surge of evolution points took Zorvax by surprise, and for a moment, he was at a loss for words. A flicker of surprise crossed his pallid face as he muttered to himself, "I never thought I could accumulate this many evolution points."
As he contemplated the staggering number before him, Zorvax couldn't help but reflect on the multitude of survivors he had encountered in this merciless world. Their sheer numbers had provided him with a bountiful source of evolution points, a testament to the harsh reality in which they all existed.
But as his eyes remained fixed on the system notification, a hint of frustration crept into his voice. "Too bad that my next evolution requires so much more. The requirements are... too much."
Zorvax then gathered and gazed down at the lifeless bodies of the awakeners, Viktor, Maria, and Alex, each one a testament to the relentless brutality of their world. As he observed their still forms, the system notification flashed before him, almost like an eerie beacon:
---
[Summon Available]
[100 Evolution Points to summon: Yes/No]
---
[Summon Available]
[100 Evolution Points to summon: Yes/No]
---
[Summon Available]
[100 Evolution Points to summon: Yes/No]
---
Three identical prompts appeared, each offering the possibility of a summon. Zorvax's mind churned with contemplation as he muttered to himself, "Are the costs of summoning really the same, or is it because it's the first summon?"
Uncertainty gnawed at him as he pondered the implications. With his newfound power and knowledge, he had begun to question the mechanics of this cruel world. Yet, as he weighed the options, a sense of curiosity and determination overtook him. He whispered to himself, "Let's ignore it for now and explore what this base has to offer."
The bodies of the fallen awakeners remained at his feet, silent witnesses to the unyielding trials that defined their existence.
As Zorvax ventured further into the depths of the Green Eagle's base, he was met with a chilling sight. The lifeless bodies of the fallen survivors lay strewn about, a somber reminder of the unforgiving nature of their world. However, none of them were awakeners; they were ordinary humans who had met a grim fate.
While the supplies he discovered were abundant, Zorvax's nature as a zombie rendered them useless to him. The excess food and resources that would have been a lifeline for the survivors meant nothing to a creature that no longer required sustenance.
His exploration led him to a colossal steel door, towering before him like an ancient guardian. Zorvax's curiosity was piqued as he muttered to himself, "I wonder what's behind this door."
He examined the door closely, noticing the thick layer of moss that had accumulated over time. It was a telltale sign that this imposing barrier had not been breached for a considerable duration. Zorvax's interest grew with each passing moment, and he couldn't help but wonder what secrets lay concealed behind this formidable entrance.
Zorvax, undeterred by the formidable appearance of the steel door, raised his colossal bone sword high. With a determined glint in his dark eyes, he swung the massive weapon at the door, aiming to cleave it open. As the sword made contact, an incredible force pushed back against him, nearly sending him reeling.
Though the door remained mostly intact, Zorvax had managed to cut through some of the tough steel, revealing the true strength of this imposing barrier. He muttered to himself, "This door is quite strong."
Refusing to be deterred, Zorvax prepared himself for another strike. With a focused determination, he shifted his stance and readied his colossal bone sword. He mumbled to himself, "Let's see if you can take this."
With a powerful surge of his immense strength, Zorvax unleashed a devastating swing, pouring every ounce of power he possessed into the blow. The colossal bone sword struck the door with a resounding impact, and this time, the results were dramatically different.
The steel door, unable to withstand the full force of Zorvax's strike, groaned under the immense pressure. With a deafening crash, it gave way, bursting open and revealing the enigmatic space that lay beyond. As the dust settled, Zorvax stood before the now-vanquished door.
With the steel door now torn asunder and the passage beyond unveiled, Zorvax stepped into the unknown. His dark eyes remained fixed on the mysterious expanse before him, a realm that had been concealed for an untold period. He muttered to himself, "Let's see what is inside."
Intrigued and driven by a ceaseless curiosity, Zorvax ventured further into the newly discovered chamber, ready to unravel the secrets that lay hidden within its depths.
