At this moment, they saw them separate and immediately approached.
"Boss, this mutated zombie is acting weird. This time, we found that it didn't attack us!"
"I saw that too, and I guess I know why!"
Elijah smiled slightly.
"Why?"
Quentin asked in surprise.
"There's something more enticing to it than eating you guys!"
"Something enticing?"
Quentin scratched his head.
"You'll see in a moment! Anyway, enough talk. Let's get ready for action!"
After saying this, Elijah looked at Sophia.
"Sophia, keep an eye on the surroundings. If any other zombies appear, sound the alarm immediately!"
"Got it!"
Sophia nodded.
"Fiona and Hannah, support Sophia and take out any zombies that appear suddenly!"
"Understood!"
Fiona and Hannah responded in unison.
"Lily, you and I will deal with this mutated zombie. You just assist from the side and make sure it doesn't escape!"
"Got it!"
Lily swung the large double-bladed flower axe in her hand.
According to Quentin's intelligence, this zombie should have second-tier defensive capabilities.
Among them, only he and Lily could break through the zombie's defense.
Fiona could also do it, but she needed to target weak points like the eyes, nose, and mouth.
Comparatively, he and Lily were more reliable.
Actually, if he were alone, he would have rushed in long ago. But now that they were a team, they needed to cooperate, which was a process of team-building.
"Boss, what about us?"
Zachary spoke up.
"You? Just protect yourselves and don't cause trouble!"
"Oh..."
Zachary reluctantly stepped aside.
After Elijah finished speaking, he immediately picked up a bright silver spear and walked straight towards the mutated zombie. Lily followed behind with her huge double-bladed flower axe.
"They're just going straight over... Will they be okay?"
They couldn't believe it. The freakish zombie that had chased them relentlessly, impervious to all attacks, had just been stabbed like a watermelon?!
"What just... happened?"
Zachary murmured as if in a dream.
"So... so powerful!"
Another henchman swallowed involuntarily and said.
"Totally out of our league!"
Quentin muttered to himself.
"Elijah must have some way to enhance his strength. Otherwise, how could the gap be so huge?"
Thinking this, Quentin felt a surge of excitement.
"Now that I've seen my second-tier ability, I'm eager to improve my strength."
"Wow! Elijah is so powerful. I never even had a chance to take action!"
Lily grumbled and then walked up to the corpse of the second-tier zombie.
"Elijah, what should we do with this body?"
"Dispose... no, keep it. It will be useful when we return to the island!"
Initially, he thought of just discarding it, but Elijah suddenly remembered Whitey.
He had promised to bring Whitey mutated zombie meat next time they met, so he couldn't go back on his word!
At this moment, Elijah also found the second-tier corpse core of this zombie.
He picked it up and found that like the telekinesis zombie, it was a high-quality second-tier corpse core, with a sparkling green tint amidst its orange-yellow color.
"If this continues to grow, it might advance to the third tier! The third tier is a qualitative change, and it won't be this easy then!"
Elijah muttered to himself, then walked towards the pile of corpses guarded by the mutated zombie just now.
In a rotting flesh and foul-smelling heap, he immediately found a glowing fluorescent green plant.
"Sure enough, zombie grass! And it's about to mature!"
Elijah looked at the zombie grass swaying gently with its five leaves and felt somewhat fortunate.
The fifth leaf was about to grow!
If he had come a little later, or if this second-tier zombie hadn't waited and directly consumed it, it might have truly advanced to the third tier.
"Oh? Boss, there's another one of those plants you wanted!"
Fiona and Quentin approached, and Quentin exclaimed in surprise.
"Good find, and this is what I mentioned earlier, the treasure that made the zombies give up chasing you!"
"What? This is the treasure you were talking about?" Quentin exclaimed in surprise. At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.
Could this plant attract zombies? No wonder Elijah asked me to collect it. Could it be to enhance his ability to control zombies?
"Yeah, sorry Quentin, I lied to you earlier! It wasn't my woman who wanted this plant, but it was me!"
"Hey, you could've just told me straight! Just like the corpse core, isn't it all about enhancing zombie strength?!"
Seeing Quentin's misunderstanding, Elijah's face showed a strange expression.
