Elijah wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that
Abigail's speech and expressions had become more vivid, almost indistinguishable from a normal person's.
However, he didn't have the mood to dwell on these thoughts now.
"Alright! Alright! Can you loosen your grip first?"
"Really?"
Abigail smiled happily, "I saw you and Daisy, along with other women, do this often. I thought you liked it, so I wanted to try it. I didn't expect it to be so hard!"
Hearing this, Elijah's expression grew even darker, and he immediately checked his body thoroughly.
"Fortunately... there are no signs of turning into a zombie!"
Elijah let out a long breath.
If he got infected by a zombie he controlled, it would be quite embarrassing and unfair.
Wait, something's not right!
Elijah recalled what had happened when he was half-awake and quickly asked, "Did you... kiss me just now?"
"Yes!"
Abigail licked her lips, which instantly became plump and shiny, making one irresistibly want to kiss them.
"This is bad!"
Elijah's face immediately turned ashen!
Besides blood, any other tissue exchange with a zombie, even for an Awakened one, could result in becoming a zombie.
"What's bad?"
Abigail asked curiously.
"I... I'm doomed, I'll turn into a zombie because of you!"
Elijah replied angrily.
"Oh... but master, aren't you fine?"
"Uh... that's true!"
Abigail had kissed him for a while now, but why was he still okay?
Could it be that he was immune to the virus?
Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. If he could control zombies, but still get infected by the virus from the zombies he controlled, he would eventually become a zombie.
But in his past life, he controlled zombies for a long time without any issues.
His orientation was still fine!
At this moment, Abigail was cherishing the three second-tier corpse cores in her hands. After a while, she took one out, put it in her mouth, and chewed it with a satisfied expression like a kitten that had sneaked a fish.
After finishing one corpse core, she noticed Elijah staring at her.
Thinking he regretted giving them to her and wanted them back, she quickly hid the remaining corpse cores with both hands and glared at him angrily.

These were hard-earned, bought with her blood. She wouldn't return them.
Hmph! He said they were going to fight zombies!
In the end, the master broke his promise and instead... well, let's just say it was a different kind of fight...
Seeing her protective stance, Elijah couldn't help but smile.
After a night of bloody battle, Elijah confirmed he was truly immune to Abigail's virus.
When Abigail asked for second-tier corpse cores, Elijah gave her four as she requested.
Four second-tier corpse cores weren't enough for Abigail to advance to the third tier, but they satisfied her, so why not?
And even if Abigail advanced, Elijah might not be able to fully control her, but with the intelligence Abigail had shown, Elijah wasn't worried about her betraying him.
In the worst-case scenario, even if she did, Elijah was immune to her virus. Since Abigail lacked powerful attack methods and was only extraordinarily tough to defend against, Elijah was confident he could handle her.
"No one's taking them from you!"
Elijah shook his head with a smile, then continued, "I'm going upstairs to check things out. Do you want to come with me?"
"No!"
Abigail still didn't let her guard down, protecting her second-tier corpse cores and shaking her head.
"I'll keep an eye on this bunch!"
Elijah looked at the surrounding vigilant zombies and said indifferently, "Alright then!"
With that, he went upstairs alone.
Just as he reached Lillian's door, she opened it before he could
knock.
Lillian had changed out of last night's slip dress and was back in her shirt and pants from the previous evening.
Seeing Elijah, it was as if nothing had happened the night before. She led him inside like a guest.
As soon as he entered the living room, Elijah saw the little girl he had seen yesterday, but this time she wasn't sleeping. She was looking at him with big, curious eyes.
"Hi! Hello, your name is Nora, right? You're so cute!"
Elijah tried to put on a friendly expression.
