Sam had the upper hand, but he knew things wouldn't be this easy. After all, this zombie had absorbed the matter of others, making it a formidable opponent. Unlike Jason and Clementine, Sam had little experience dealing with evolved zombies. He hadn't encountered many himself.
This was a new situation, and Sam was curious to test the limits of this creature. However, something unexpected happened, even beyond the anticipation of former soldiers.
The zombie's face contorted, and multiple heads sprouted from its body. It recognized Sam as a threat, driven by primal instinct or, more accurately, by assimilating the memories of its victims.
Sam smiled, knowing that things were about to become a lot more challenging.
The zombie now possessed the battle experience of multiple soldiers simultaneously.
Sanders, observing the scene, thought to himself if Sam would be able to face it. Even Sam couldn't possibly kill such a formidable foe.
