After the Mimic Zombies took shape, they charged straight at the Central Province zombies, their faces blank and their expressions dull.
Purple Thorn narrowed her eyes slightly. Thorns burst from her body like countless steel whips, lashing the Mimic Zombies.
Their sharp barbs cut like saw teeth, shredding the Mimic Zombies into drifting white mycelium.
