Apocalypse: King of Zombies - Chapter 434

Chapter 434: What… what are you trying to pull?
Falseword unleashed a surge of overwhelming psychic energy, locking Laura in place. Around her, elite zombies swarmed like a pack of rabid beasts, clawing and tearing at her flesh, leaving deep, bloody gashes across her body.

But Falseword’s Death Whisper hadn’t stopped.

Laura’s mind was spinning, her thoughts a blur, ears ringing with a high-pitched whine. Pain exploded across her body as the zombies tore into her—she could feel herself being ripped apart, piece by piece, like she was about to be devoured by this undead frenzy.

With her current strength, there was no way she could take on the Four War Generals and the terrifying Zombie Horde alone.

“Die already!”

Falseword’s eyes gleamed with vicious triumph. He was about to score the first major kill—an S-Class Zombie King, no less—and everything was going perfectly. Laura was seconds away from being swallowed by the sea of corpses.

Then suddenly—BOOM!

A wild, electrifying guitar riff ripped through the sky like a thunderclap. The sound was sharp, manic, and pulsing with raw energy—like the opening act of a blood-soaked rock concert.

At the same time, a thick black fog erupted in the distance, billowing upward like a storm cloud and rolling across the land. It wasn’t just fog—it was alive.

Within the swirling darkness, shadowy figures moved—zombies, hundreds of them. Their faces twisted in grotesque snarls, eyes glowing with malice. Shrouded in the smoke, they looked like demons rising from the ashes of hell.

“What the hell is that…?” Deathspeaker Falseword’s eyes widened, his expression darkening with unease.

But the moment that guitar hit, it shattered his hypnotic hold. Laura snapped back to herself, her body free, her mind clear.

She moved like a beast unleashed.

In a blur of motion, her claws slashed through the air, leaving afterimages in their wake. The zombies that had pinned her down were instantly shredded—limbs flying, torsos split, blood and gore spraying in every direction.

Laura’s slender figure reappeared in the chaos, standing tall amidst the carnage.

She was covered in blood—her own and theirs. Black ichor dripped from deep wounds, and her collarbone was shattered, a brutal fist-shaped dent caved into her shoulder. The sight was gruesome.

But her eyes burned with fury. A twisted grin curled at her lips, savage and bloodthirsty—like a demon that had clawed its way out of hell.

Behind her, the black fog rolled in, wrapping around her like a cloak. From within it, the undead howled.

“Laura! I got your back!”

A booming voice rang out—Bulldozer.

He ripped a massive tree from the ground like it was a twig and hurled it like a javelin. It whistled through the air with a deafening whoosh, slamming into a cluster of zombies and sending them flying like rag dolls.

“Boss! That’s the L.A. Zombie Horde!” Daisy, another Zombie King, shouted in alarm, whipping her head around to look behind.

“Yeah,” Nightbane muttered, eyes narrowing. Ethan had shown up at the exact moment they least wanted him to. It was too perfect—like he’d planned this all along.

With the battlefield shifting, there was no turning back now.

“Kill them all!”

“Hell yeah!” Daisy snarled, her eyes flashing with bloodlust.

But before she could charge, a cloud of spores burst toward her—Lil’ Shroom.

He lunged forward, grabbing the pink flower sprouting from Daisy’s head.

“You little bitch, your fight’s with me!”

“You’re dead meat!” Daisy snapped back, grabbing the mushroom cap on his head.

The two Zombie Kings collided in a brutal, no-holds-barred brawl—claws, fists, and spores flying.

“ROOOAAARRR!”

Kong let out a thunderous roar, charging straight into the L.A. Zombie Horde like a rampaging bull. The ground shook beneath his feet, and zombies were sent flying in every direction as he plowed through them.

From the swirling black fog, Bulldozer stepped forward, his massive frame looming like a mountain. He locked eyes with Kong, sensing a worthy opponent.

He rolled his shoulders, cracked his neck, and broke into a run.

“Picking on our sweet Laura? That’s low, even for you. Let’s see how you handle someone your own size!”

Two titans—powerhouse Zombie Kings—hurtled toward each other like freight trains. Neither slowed down. Neither flinched.

BOOM!

Bulldozer and Kong collided like two meteors slamming into each other, the impact echoing with a deep, bone-rattling thud. A shockwave of raw force exploded outward, blasting nearby zombies off their feet like rag dolls caught in a hurricane.

The two powerhouses were evenly matched. The sheer force of the collision sent both of them staggering back a few steps, their feet gouging trenches in the dirt.

“Die already!” Bulldozer roared, swinging his massive fist straight at Kong’s face.

Kong didn’t flinch. With a furious bellow, he threw his own punch to meet it head-on. No dodging, no tricks—just brute strength against brute strength. They were like two walking tanks, trading blows with the fury of wild beasts.

Each punch landed with a sickening crunch, flesh and bone colliding in a brutal, no-holds-barred slugfest. The ground trembled beneath them as they fought, fists slamming into muscle and bone, neither giving an inch.

Meanwhile, high above the battlefield, Hellhound streaked through the sky like a missile, his sleek form cutting through the air. Below him, thousands of zombie hounds thundered across the ground, following his lead. Hellhound wasn’t just a fighter—he was the scout of this undead army.

But now, all he could see was black fog. Thick, suffocating, impenetrable. It blanketed the battlefield like a living shadow, hiding the enemy’s numbers, their movements—hell, even their presence. Whatever was inside that fog, it was a mystery.

“Caw! Caw! Caw!”

Suddenly, a red-eyed crow shot out of the fog like a bullet, streaking upward straight toward Hellhound.

“Huh?” Hellhound tilted his head, surprised. A crow? Seriously? What kind of idiot bird thought it could take him on?

He raised a claw, ready to snatch it out of the air and turn it into a crunchy little snack.

But then—

CAW! CAW! CAW!

A deafening chorus of caws erupted as a massive swarm of crows burst from the fog behind the first. They filled the sky in seconds, a black tidal wave of wings and beaks, blotting out the sun.

And they were all headed straight for him.

“Holy shit!”

Hellhound’s eyes went wide with panic.

Down below, the Four War Generals of San Diego were fully engaged, but the black fog was creeping in like a living thing, swallowing up their forces. Wherever it spread, the air filled with the screams of zombies—agonized, guttural, and terrifying. But no one could see what was happening inside.

Nightbane’s brow furrowed. Something was off. They were losing ground. The fog wasn’t attacking directly, but its concealment was too effective—it was like fighting blind.

“Falseword! Disperse that damn fog—now!”

“On it!” Falseword snapped, his eyes narrowing. He focused, channeling his immense psychic power. A wave of mental energy surged from him like a storm front, tearing through the battlefield.

As the psychic blast swept forward, the black fog began to unravel, dissolving like mist under a rising sun. It peeled away rapidly, revealing the battlefield beneath.

“The fog’s clearing… finally,” one of the elite zombies muttered, exhaling in relief. All eyes locked on the clearing mist, curiosity and dread mixing in their gaze.

What the hell had been hiding in there?

But just as Falseword was fully focused on clearing the fog—

WHAM!

A sudden, overwhelming psychic force slammed into him like a freight train. It was massive, dense, and sharp—like a thousand steel spikes driving straight into his mind.

“RAAAHHH!”

Falseword’s scream tore through the air. His body convulsed, eyes rolling back as he collapsed to the ground, clutching his head in agony. It was like someone had poured boiling oil into his brain.

He writhed on the ground, howling in pain, his limbs twitching uncontrollably.

“What the hell?!”

The surrounding zombies froze, stunned.

Falseword? Injured? That was unthinkable.

What just happened?

It took a long, agonizing moment before the pain began to ebb. Falseword’s breathing slowed, and his mind started to clear—but he was drained, his psychic energy battered and frayed.

His vision slowly focused on the fog ahead.

And from within that swirling darkness, a figure emerged.

PhD.

He stepped forward, calm and composed, like he’d been waiting for this moment.

Falseword’s voice was hoarse, but laced with fury. “What… what are you trying to pull?”

…
