He had no idea what Elijah was talking about.
But then he seemed to remember something and said in horror, "The corpse core you mentioned... is it the Magic Crystal?"
"It seems some people call it that!" Elijah replied. As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of cold light gleamed in his hand, and a sharp dagger plunged directly into Nathan's throat.
"Gurgle... gurgle..."
Nathan didn't have time to dodge; he could only instinctively cover his throat with his hands, trying to press down on the wound Elijah had inflicted.
But it was useless. Blood gushed out of the wound, a considerable amount entering his esophagus and mouth, causing him to vomit blood profusely.
Nathan stared at Elijah with wide, angry eyes, not understanding why this person had suddenly attacked him.
Even knowing the few pieces of information he provided, keeping him alive for mutual verification would have been beneficial!
He was unwilling! So unwilling!
As his blood drained away, Nathan's consciousness began to blur, his heart filled with various resentments and anger, fueling him to use his last strength to grab at Elijah.
But in the next moment, a flash of cold light, and the hand reaching for Elijah was smashed by a bright silver spear, dropping limply.
But Elijah wasn't satisfied with that and continued smashing Nathan's remaining three limbs with the spear.
"Although I had some grudges with this person, you must remember, in this world today, if anyone shows malice or intent to kill you, don't be merciful. Your kindness won't earn their forgiveness. When given the chance, they will retaliate a hundredfold!" Elijah lectured the women.
"I understand, Elijah!" Lily nodded.
"Yes!" Sophia, who had first discovered Nathan and observed his every move, fully understood that if it were only her, her fate would have been dire.
So she didn't feel that Elijah's attack was wrong.
Hannah and Fiona, needless to say, stood firmly on Elijah's side since choosing him.
At this point, Nathan's eyes finally became vacant, slowly turning blood-red.
As he lost consciousness, the zombie virus began to take over his body.
Soon, Nathan fully zombified, his mouth suddenly opening wide and letting out a terrifying roar at Elijah.
"Roar~"
Unfortunately, Nathan's arms and legs had been smashed by Elijah, rendering him immobile, making his roars seem absurd and laughable.
"We'll follow your orders, Boss!" Quentin said seriously.
"No, I won't decide. I told you I wouldn't interfere with your team management!" Elijah replied.
"Well... alright then!" Quentin rubbed his hands and then pulled Zachary over. "Let's have Zachary awaken first!"
"Quentin..." Zachary looked at Quentin gratefully.
"Okay, just wait a bit longer!" Elijah patted Zachary on the shoulder.
"Alright, Boss! No rush!" Zachary tried to contain his excitement.
Seeing this, Elijah said nothing more and had Sophia take Nathan's body and return to the island with some of the women.
Sophia went alone to feed Whitey, while Elijah and the others returned to the villa.
By this time, Charlotte and her group had already returned and were resting in the living room.
"You're back early today!" Elijah remarked.
"We advanced another two kilometers south. The safe zone is now large enough. We'll leave that area to Quentin and his group. If they want to expand it further, they can do it themselves!" Charlotte replied.
"Exactly, we can't keep doing all the work for our subordinates!" Elijah nodded and then walked into the spirit plants cultivation room.
Currently, he had four spirit plants.
The Crystal Grass had grown more luxuriant over the past two days but still hadn't developed any apertures.
Although Elijah wasn't in a hurry initially, seeing Nathan today made him eager to cultivate another third-tier ability user.
This would ensure that when he went to the west suburb to seek revenge on Matthew, there would be someone to guard the island and keep everyone safe.
So, he buried the second-tier defense zombie's corpse core he got yesterday and today's second-tier stealth ability user's corpse core under the Crystal Grass, hoping to accelerate its growth.
Besides the Crystal Grass, he had three zombie grasses. One was in the seedling stage, which he had just harvested yesterday.
Another was in the early production stage, and the last one was in the mid-production stage.
The mid-stage zombie grass's third leaf had basically grown and was ready for awakening use.
To be safe, Elijah used Katherine's ability to hasten its growth a bit before cutting it down.
Then, using Bella's ability, he revitalized the zombie grass, allowing it to continue growing from the seedling stage.
He then put the zombie grass in a juicer, added some cucumber, celery, sugar, and other ingredients, blended it all together, and poured it into an empty bottle.
"Alright, the awakening potion is ready!" Elijah announced.
