Zombolution: Unleash the Undying Power

Chapter 40: New Shop Items

The empty land, previously the battleground of a fierce struggle between Alpha and Zorvax, fell into an eerie silence. Zorvax, his enigmatic smile still playing on his charred face, turned his attention toward the girl who had shot Alpha's head.

Unbeknownst to Alpha, Zorvax had summoned the girl, Ophelia, at a strategic moment when Alpha's focus was fixed solely on him.

The girl, Ophelia, had seized a gun from Alpha's subordinate, taking advantage of the brief lapse in Alpha's vigilance to end his life.

With Alpha now lifeless on the ground, Ophelia approached her summoner, Zorvax, her expression a curious mix of innocence and loyalty. "Master, are you okay?" she asked, concern colouring her words.

Zorvax, ever enigmatic, regarded the state of his battered body. "I don't really know, Ophelia. After all, I'm a zombie, to begin with," he replied, his voice filled with a strange blend of indifference and contemplation.

But then, like a ripple in the calm, a digital system announcement materialized before Zorvax, breaking the silence with a simple yet intriguing message.

The words on the announcement were plain and straightforward, but they stirred a curiosity within Zorvax. His charred face, still bearing the remnants of the fiery plasma attack, displayed a hint of contemplation and interest.

Zorvax's enigmatic smile seemed to grow, his curiosity piqued by the prospect of new items in the shop. It was a notion that prompted him to ponder, "What kind of items have been added to the shop?"

With a sense of anticipation, he moved closer to the announcement, his bony fingers hovering over the screen. The land, though previously filled with the intensity of the battle, now held a different kind of intrigue as Zorvax prepared to explore the offerings in the shop.

With deliberate movements, he initiated the process of opening the shop, his skeletal hand deftly navigating the digital interface. The land's desolate aura bathed Zorvax in an eerie glow as he delved into this new development, the air charged with the promise of discovery.

The virtual shop's offerings unfurled before him, presenting a menu of choices and possibilities. The list displayed the current status of Zorvax's resources, his Zombie Points totalling 4,598. It was a testament to the points he had acquired through his unique existence and the encounters in this post-apocalyptic world.

The virtual shop's inventory featured a familiar array of colourful cores, each shrouded in mystery and possessing a high cost. But what truly piqued Zorvax's interest were the newly introduced items that bore the label "Level 2 Regeneration Potion" and "Level 2 Bionic Potion."

Zorvax's pitch-black eyes scanned the digital display, his enigmatic mask reflecting the glow of the interface. His contemplative expression hinted at the intrigue of this new development. "Regeneration potion and bionic-related items?" he mused, his thoughts drifting towards the significance of these additions.

"Regeneration points appear, perhaps in response to my current condition," Zorvax speculated, his attention drawn to the remnants of his own burned body. The charred flesh and skeletal frame bore witness to the destructive power of Alpha's fiery attack.

As he scrutinized the inventory further, Zorvax's thoughts veered toward Alpha and his peculiar bionic suit. "But the bionic-related items," Zorvax mused, a curious glint in his pitch-black eyes. He approached Alpha's lifeless form, examining the suit more closely.

From Alpha's suit, the truth revealed itself to Zorvax. "I've just realized that he was truly similar to the bio-humans from the film," he concluded, noting the parallels between Alpha and the fictional bionic humans.

Zorvax's gaze returned to his accumulated Zombie Points, an impressive total of 4,598 points. His unique status as a Level 2 zombie, coupled with the encounters he had faced, had significantly bolstered his resources.

The decision weighed on Zorvax as he stood before the virtual shop's choices, a perplexing dilemma unfolding before him. The two distinct paths represented by the Level 2 Regeneration Potion and the Level 2 Bionic Potion beckoned, each with its own promise and intrigue.

"Regeneration potion will heal me, as the name suggests," Zorvax mused aloud, his thoughts given voice as he weighed the benefits of this familiar option. The prospect of regaining his lost vitality held a certain allure, the promise of restoration resonating with his battered form.

His thoughts then turned to the enigmatic option—the Level 2 Bionic Potion. The lack of detailed information about this choice stirred his curiosity, the unknown qualities of the potion making it a tantalizing enigma.

Zorvax's frustration bubbled to the surface, his voice carrying a tone of exasperation. "How can the system not provide me with any details about them?" he exclaimed, his skeletal fingers hovering over the digital interface. His ire was directed at the enigmatic system that governed this peculiar world, the lack of transparency in its offerings leaving him dissatisfied.

The question lingered in the air, its implications far-reaching. The room, once a battleground, now served as the backdrop for Zorvax's internal deliberations. The choice before him was not to be taken lightly, as it had the potential to alter the course of his existence in this enigmatic post-apocalyptic realm.

Zorvax's curiosity continued to gnaw at him, compelling him to wonder about the possibilities of the Level 2 Bionic Potion. "I truly wonder what the bionic potion will transform me into," he contemplated, his pitch-black eyes glistening with intrigue.

As he mulled over the unknown, the desolate land seemed to hold its breath, the faint hum of the digital interface permeating the silence. He really didn't know what to choose, the regeneration potion or the enigmatic bionic potion.
