After Ethan defeated Serpent-Eye, his territory expanded once again. With the land now connected to Little Shadow's domain, the three regions were fully unified.
The total area of the territory now spanned a massive 20 square miles, covering nearly the entire downtown area. Ethan had become an undisputed ruler of the region.
Under his command, the Zombie Horde had more than doubled in size. What was once a force of 10,000 zombies had grown to 25,000, including 5,000 elite fighters and 500 top-tier warriors. These zombies had evolved through relentless battles, devouring Neurocores and flesh, becoming even more powerful.
The leadership structure of the territory also shifted. With Little Shadow joining the ranks, there were now four zombie lords overseeing different regions. Little Shadow took charge of the northern sector, a familiar area that had once been his domain. The PhD zombie guarded the south, while Bulldozer and Laura managed the eastern and western zones, respectively.
