Urgent report!\" came a tense voice from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both men snapped to attention. General Cross immediately called out, \"Come in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door swung open, and three figures rushed inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren’t you the team monitoring the Tier 9 zombie?\" General Cross asked, frowning in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General, we’ve got critical intel. That Tier 9 zombie might’ve been killed!\" one of them blurted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>General Cross and Colonel Mitchell shot to their feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Explain. Now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three scouts quickly laid out everything they’d seen, not skipping a detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they finished, General Cross and Colonel Mitchell exchanged a look—both visibly shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they didn’t trust the integrity of their own men, they’d have thought this was some kind of joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An eight-person squad? Do we even have a team that strong in the compound?\" General Cross asked, turning to Colonel Mitchell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mitchell ran through the roster in his head but came up blank. A squad capable of taking down a Tier 9 wouldn’t be flying under the radar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then something clicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General, remember what Director Vaughn said yesterday? About a new squad arriving—all Tier 6 Enhanced? I think there were eight of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right! That’s them!\" General Cross’s eyes lit up. \"Get Director Vaughn in here. Now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, a man in his thirties strode briskly into the command room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General Cross, you called me over in a rush—what’s going on? I’ve got a few things on my plate right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Put them on hold,\" General Cross said sharply. \"Where’s that eight-man squad that arrived yesterday? The Tier 6 Enhanced team. Where are they right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Vaughn blinked. \"Wait—you already know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know too?\" General Cross shot a glance at the three scouts, just as confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scouts looked equally puzzled. They’d come straight here after returning—how did Vaughn already know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m in charge of Enhanced personnel,\" Vaughn said, as if it were obvious. \"Of course I’d know first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, we’ll sort that out later. Just tell me—where are they now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enhanced Enforcement Division.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the room sucked in a sharp breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You sent them to the Enhanced Enforcement Division?!\" General Cross’s eyes went wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah,\" Director Vaughn replied, like it was obvious. \"Didn’t you already hear? They killed people inside the compound—of course they had to be taken in. But apparently, they’re a handful. The team down there couldn’t handle them and called me in. I was just about to head over when you summoned me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colonel Mitchell looked between them, confused. \"Wait... something’s not adding up here. General, why are you acting like this is a big deal? Don’t you know what they did today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I do. They killed people in the compound.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s when everyone realized—this was a complete misunderstanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move! We’re going to the Enhanced Enforcement Division!\" General Cross barked, already heading for the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re going personally?\" Director Vaughn blinked. \"Isn’t that a bit much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A bit much?\" General Cross snapped. \"If this isn’t handled right, the entire compound could go up in flames!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colonel Mitchell flinched. \"It... it can’t be that serious, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they rushed out, General Cross suddenly asked, \"Who did they kill?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tyler from Ironfang Squad, along with over a dozen of their members,\" Colonel Mitchell answered quickly. \"From what we gathered, Ironfang Squad started it. They tried to shake them down and got steamrolled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Steamrolled?\" General Cross snorted. \"They didn’t just kick a steel plate—they kicked a damn titanium wall. Shit! We’ve been way too soft on those Ironfang bastards. Now look what it’s cost us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General Cross,\" Colonel Mitchell said, still trying to wrap his head around it, \"what the hell is going on? Why are you so worked up over this squad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That Tier 9 zombie,\" General Cross said grimly. \"It’s dead. Killed in its own lair—surrounded by hundreds of thousands of zombies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the ones who did it?\" Colonel Mitchell added. \"There’s an eighty percent chance it was them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Vaughn’s eyes went wide. Then his face turned pale. \"Shit—we need to get there now. The guys at Enhanced Enforcement don’t hold back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like that, the three top brass of the compound took off at a dead sprint toward the Enhanced Enforcement Division.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Enhanced Enforcement Division—nightmare of every Enhanced in the compound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was where rule-breakers were punished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The compound’s rules for Enhanced were pretty relaxed, but there were still lines you didn’t cross: no killing inside the compound, no attacking civilians, no rape. The old-world laws didn’t work anymore, so the compound had its own post-apocalypse code.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Break it, and you got sent here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Best case? You left with broken bones. Worst case? You didn’t leave at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leadership knew the times called for harsh measures. And the Enhanced Enforcement Division delivered. Their brutal methods kept even the strongest squads in line. No one dared test them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right now, something was... off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Division, the eight \"offenders\" were casually strolling through the facility, looking around like tourists on a field trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Military Police? The feared enforcers of the compound?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were trailing behind like defeated interns, dead-eyed and silent, forced to give a guided tour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were the same MPs that every Enhanced in the compound feared. But now? They looked like they’d rather be anywhere else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could you blame them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that they didn’t want to enforce the rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They just couldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quick glance at the floor told the story—bodies everywhere. Dozens of MPs were down, groaning or unconscious. Some of them were Tier 7 Enhanced—the Division’s top combat assets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the eight were first brought in, the MPs had tried to assert dominance. Standard procedure: rough them up a little, make them cooperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment they made a move, they were flattened. One hit. No powers. No time to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Tier 7s didn’t get a chance to activate their abilities before they were knocked out cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What were the MPs supposed to do? Guns were useless at this level. What were they gonna do—bring in artillery?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Enhanced Enforcement Division. There were no tanks here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, the eight hadn’t gone for lethal force. The MPs on the ground were just incapacitated—no one was dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, the squad seemed genuinely curious about the place. So here they were—MPs turned tour guides, praying someone from the top would show up soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t take much more of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the Division, a massive crowd had gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People loved a good spectacle—especially when it didn’t involve them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone wanted to see what would happen to the lunatics who dared kill inside the compound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumor had it they weren’t just Tier 6. That only made things more interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the crowd, Rourke Vance—captain of Ironfang Squad—had returned. He stood at the front, flanked by every member of his squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was here to watch those bastards die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the military didn’t execute them, he would.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d snapped his brother’s neck in front of everyone. That blood debt had to be paid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the crowd stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of people was sprinting toward the Division.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they saw who was leading them, everyone’s eyes went wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way... even he showed up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1252,"2026-06-02T09:29:44.109Z",1,"novelbin.me","95954caee2ef99ae0cba93e2d3700b99a8431be8e0d58dc888f315e973baef59","apocalypse-king-of-zombies-chapter-1113","apocalypse-king-of-zombies-chapter-1111",1329,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-king-of-zombies-cover.jpg"]
