At the same time, Shaun also activated the "Heavy Strike Execution" for the four zombies.

The machete directly cleaved a spider leg, triggering a critical strike and effortlessly severing it. Shaun's mouth twitched; damn it, a beheading! The intense pain brought the mutated poison spider back to consciousness, and it let out a strange screech. But the scream abruptly stopped! Because Shaun swung his arm again, the massive frying pan came crashing down.

Boom!

The spider felt an intense pain, and its anger was hard to contain. How could it tolerate being hit on the head twice in a row? It was about to spit out its web, but then it saw the massive frying pan coming at it once more. Trembling all over, a sense of fear surged within, and it immediately dragged the fat zombie and retreated, not daring to confront it head-on. With its talents and skills suppressed, coupled with its injuries, and having lost one of its legs, it no longer had any fighting spirit.

With a forceful kick of its remaining legs, its body suddenly left the ground and leaped up, taking the fat zombie with it as it climbed up to the ceiling. Its eyes looked at Shaun with malice, activating its "Rapid Climbing" talent in an attempt to escape. Shaun sneered; how could he let it have its way? "Consciousness Transfer!" In an instant, he manipulated the fat zombie's body. Its face was already covered in white spider silk, but its legs were still firmly gripping the spider.

Shaun opened the system's backpack, pouring a large amount of alcohol over both of them. He also poured a significant amount of alcohol into the spider's mouth as a precaution. Then, he took out a lighter, igniting the alcohol, choosing the option to go down together.

The roaring flames spread instantly. The spider trembled incessantly, letting out cries of agony, and its body fell from the ceiling. Shaun retreated continuously to avoid being affected by the flames. The spider's legs swung wildly, knocking over the surrounding tables and chairs. Finally, it let out a desperate screech, meeting its demise.

Without haste, Shaun used a fire extinguisher to put out the flames. Although he had lost one fat zombie, being able to kill a second-tier mutated beast was entirely worth it. He began to consume the flesh of the mutated poison spider. Although raw and cooked meat were no different to him, roasted spider meat seemed to have a unique taste.

"Ding! The host is consuming the flesh of a second-tier mutated beast, Evolution Points +20!"

...

"Ding! The zombies under your command are consuming the flesh of a second-tier mutated beast, Evolution Points +5!"

...

"Ding! The zombies under your command have reached 500/500 Evolution Points!"

"Begin evolution..."

"The zombies under your command have evolved into first-tier elite zombies! Strength, speed, vision, and other aspects have been enhanced! Disguise talent upgraded!"

"Randomly acquired skill: Agility!"

"Agility: Doubles your speed and grants a chance to dodge attacks. Duration: Five minutes. Cooldown: One hour!"

Shaun was overjoyed; Four had finally been promoted to an elite zombie. Rest in peace, Fatball! Shaun retook control of a female zombie by the street and ordered her to consume the flesh of the mutated poison spider. Once again, he gained a hundred Evolution Points. The flesh of the mutated poison spider was devoured, and a white diamond-shaped object fell to the ground – the second-tier mutated beast's crystal nucleus.

He suddenly remembered that he hadn't used the "Harvest" ability.

"Ding! Harvest failed!"

...

It turned out that "Harvest" wasn't about creating something from nothing; it simply helped him quickly obtain the most valuable materials. He should use "Harvest" before consuming. He stored the white crystal nucleus in the crafting space of the system. He had a premonition that this type of crystal nucleus would certainly have other uses and wouldn't be so straightforward.

After consuming the flesh of the mutated poison spider, the newly controlled female zombie also reached the fourth tier, howling incessantly. A second-tier mutated beast was enough to provide three hundred Evolution Points. Shaun felt somewhat elated. Follow me, even ordinary zombies can now devour second-tier mutated beasts! At this point, he completely ignored the charred fat zombie next to him...

His nose twitched slightly.

Hmm?

The scent of survivor's flesh?

He hadn't noticed it before due to being drawn by the mutated poison spider's flesh.

Could there be an unexpected surprise?

Shaun turned directly and walked into the restaurant. The location of the spider was in the lobby, and there were numerous private rooms inside. He walked in slowly and discovered that above each private room hung a giant "egg," all wrapped in white spider silk.

Shaun clearly smelled the scent of flesh inside. Were there humans in there?

Stepping onto the tables, he carefully tore open the spider silk around each "egg." Inside were humans, but many of them were already dead, reduced to mere corpses. They were undoubtedly the "food" stored by the mutated poison spider.

"Um..."

Shaun opened one of the spider silk eggs, and to his surprise, it emitted a sound. His heart filled with joy.

A pale-faced girl rubbed her eyes and gradually regained consciousness. She must have been captured by the mutated poison spider not long ago.

The girl had exquisite features and a beautiful appearance. At this moment, as she slowly opened her eyes, she realized she was in someone's embrace. Due to hunger and hanging upside down, her eyes struggled to focus, only sensing that the other party should be human.

She had thought she was doomed, but who would have thought that someone would come to her rescue? For a moment, a profound sense of happiness surged through her body.

Suddenly, she remembered a classic line and murmured it.

"My future husband is a hero. One day, he will come wearing holy robes to marry me..."

Shaun blinked, looking at the girl's dreamy eyes and infatuated expression.

I can't believe this! It's the apocalypse, and she's still thinking about these things?!

I did indeed come here for you... to take your doggone life!

Shaun bent down directly, biting her neck and injecting the zombie virus into her.

"Ding! The host successfully infected one person, Evolution Points +10!"

Shaun searched through the entire private room in the restaurant, eventually infecting twelve people and gaining one hundred and twenty Evolution Points. Feeling triumphant, he put away the frying pan and continued his evolutionary path with the two zombies.

Four had also become an elite zombie, comprehending new skills, and the strength of the Three Zombie Team had greatly increased.

Shaun now felt a touch of invincible loneliness, capable of facing even that fat cat!

Meow!

A cat's meow came from a distance.

Shaun shuddered suddenly, fell to the ground, and activated his Insightful Eye.

No way! I was just joking.

Sure enough, he saw a massive red shadow rushing over from his right.

"Activate the Aura of a Bystander!"

"Ding! Activation failed!"

...

Why does it always fail at crucial moments?

With a sudden inspiration, Shaun initiated Consciousness Transfer. He directly controlled the newly controlled female zombie.

"Activate the Protagonist's Aura!"

"Ding! Activation successful!"

He controlled the female zombie to move away from the area, hoping to lure away the fat cat. He and Four were both crouching under a table in the restaurant. He prayed not to attract attention; he didn't want to be torn into pieces by the fat cat.

Through the female zombie's perspective, he saw the fat cat speeding towards them. Its speed was terrifying, arriving almost in the blink of an eye. However, to his surprise, the fat cat's body was covered in blood, and the fresh blood completely concealed its golden fur.

At this moment, it was chewing on something, its two big eyes squinting in excitement.

Suddenly, it turned its head and looked at the female zombie with confusion.

Why is this little thing so peculiar!
