It took Zane a long while to come to terms with everything he had learned. Other than the two new powerful skills he gained. He also had walked away with Tier II undead servant, and a legendary weapon that was capable of killing corporeal and spiritual beings.
In addition to this the weapon could not be blocked by ordinary means. Meaning that it was bound to cut through weapons and armor with ease. There were also new features to the system such as inscriptions, something he was previously not aware of. Nor did he have any real understanding of their nature.
Either way, Zane took some time to fully come to the understanding of his gains before getting out of bed and getting his day started. He honestly had no idea what Elena, and the others were up to. Or for that matter how the Horde Kings were doing in the background.
Regardless, he would continue with his plans to hunt the awakened. And, perhaps even raising a few of them to test out his new skill and its limitations. Because of this, Zane quickly descended from his room and gathered his companions all of which who had stayed on watch for the night.
For the time being Zane wanted to protect this mansion, and because of that he asked Darren, Lawrence, Jett, and Zander to keep an eye on it. Meanwhile, he would go out into the city with Gwen, Eliza, Beatrix, and Evilyn to watch is back.
Evilyn was a great companion to keep with him at all times because she could vanish into thin air, being completely invisible to all living beings, if she so desired. Even lower ranking undead would not see her outright.
One would have to be a horde king to fully gaze upon Evilyn's spectral form, and even then, they would have to be close enough to see her. Because of this, Zane was comfortable with her watching his back at all times.
It was only after he had issued his commands did Zane and the rest of them wander out into the city looking for a fresh new victim to make their newest companion.

Zane didn't realize it, hell nobody within the Las Vegas Area really did. But not far south, in between the ruins of Las Vegas, and Phoenix Arizona lie another bunker complex. This was home to the Remnant Chapter whose area of responsibility was the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts.
Still, if a man steps foot near the old campus, also known as Themyscira, they will immediately be marked for death by the women in the area. Because of this, most other Factions simply stay away from the old university.
Considering the fact that the Raiders were essentially the exact opposite. A group of men raping, pillaging, enslaving, and murdering everyone they could. It is highly likely that the Amazons were the ones to target them.
Especially since early on, many of the Amazonian outlaws were captured and enslaved by the Raiders. Their grudge was irreconcilable. And it makes the most sense that they would be the ones to attack."
The Governor of the Sonoran Chapter nodded his head in understanding of the situation and was quick to ask about what exactly the plans were to deal with these out-of-control women.
"So... What exactly is our strategy here? The Las Vegas area is one of the more heavily populated regions west of the Rocky. An estimated 50,000 outlaws live in the area. Having seemingly found a way to keep the undead at bay.
If the Amazons are one of the larger and more powerful factions, then they easily have 5,000 or more rabid women who are willing to attack any man in sight? Now that the raiders have been dealt with, they need to be the next faction to go if we wish to retake the region, correct?"
The man in charge of reporting the latest intelligence from the Las Vegas territory was quick to respond to this, affirming that indeed their Marines were ready and willing to put down the awakened outlaws who referred to themselves as "the Amazons."
That is correct. The Colonel assured me that his battalion is on standby just waiting for the order to attack. If you give me permission to do so, I will have our marines assault the Campus in the hour!"
The Governor of the Senoran Chapter was convinced that this was the best course of action and quickly ordered the attack on the old campus of UNLV.
"Very well, permission granted. Let's eliminate these outlaws and restore order to the Las Vegas area!"
With this said, Zane was about to have his second contact with the Remnant forces as he accidentally found himself in a battle between the so called Amazonians and what remained of the former United States Government.
