She could feel it—this man in front of her was the real apex predator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And behind him stood Big Ears and the other four elite zombies, along with a whole mob of vicious-looking undead, all glaring at her like they were ready to pounce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… my underlings said they spotted humans. They set up camp here, so… so we came to check it out,” the Splitjaw Zombie King stammered, trying to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh…” Ethan nodded slowly, the pieces falling into place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only one who knew he was here was that Cyborg from last night. It was obvious now—he’d deliberately leaked Ethan’s location to lure the Canadian Zombie Horde here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trying to stir up trouble. Slow him down. Distract him from finding the stone tablet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Splitjaw Zombie King was trembling with fear. She knew there was no way out of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please don’t kill me! I—I’ll serve you, do whatever you say. I swear I’ll follow your every command!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure,” Ethan said with a nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes lit up with hope. She opened her mouth, ready to thank him, to show her loyalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before she could get a word out, Ethan raised his hand. A pitch-black katana materialized in his grip, and in one smooth motion, he swung it at her neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want you dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shhhk—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade sliced clean through her grotesque head. Black blood sprayed everywhere as her mangled body collapsed to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Canadian zombie had only offered loyalty out of fear. When the real battle came, who knew if she’d turn on him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, she’d already lost an arm—she wasn’t much use in a fight anymore. Better to take the S-grade crystal core from her corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From behind, Shrimpy tilted his head, confused. “Boss, why would a human lead her to us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was that Cyborg from Genesis Biotech,” Ethan muttered, piecing it together. “Guess they’re not above playing dirty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as if no one knew where their camp was located…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the Canadian Zombie Horde was gathering and Genesis Biotech was hunting for the stone tablet, Ethan wasn’t about to let them have it easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A plan started forming in his mind. If they wanted to play games, he’d play right back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go find the Canadian Zombie Horde,” he ordered his crew. “Lure them straight into Genesis Biotech’s camp.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, deep in Canadian territory…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sleek aircraft tore through the sky, descending rapidly into a ruined city swallowed by the apocalypse. This was the main base of the Canadian Zombie Horde—and the stronghold of Malcolm, adopted son of the Crimson Count.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a mechanical hiss, the aircraft’s doors slid open. Sophia stepped out, her pale face twisted with frustration and seething rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malcolm turned to her. “Scarlet Moon. How’d the operation go in the U.S.?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t even ask,” Sophia growled through clenched teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malcolm raised an eyebrow, already sensing something had gone wrong. “What happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was going fine at first. I was this close to breaking into Genesis Biotech’s L.A. headquarters. Then outta nowhere, a whole damn horde of zombies showed up. No clue where they came from—but there were a lot of them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gave him a quick rundown of everything that had gone down in the States.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malcolm nodded thoughtfully. “That really is unexpected. But still, the fact that you nearly took down Genesis Biotech’s L.A. headquarters? That’s no small feat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly,” Sophia said, her tone defensive but proud. “So it’s not like I screwed up—it was just bad luck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right. For now, let’s focus on the fight here in Canada. Once we’ve locked this down, taking the U.S. will just be a matter of time,” Malcolm said, his voice calm and confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sophia agreed. “Don’t worry. With the two of us holding the line, there’s no way we’ll let our father down. So, what’s the situation here in Canada?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malcolm’s expression darkened. “It’s… a little strange,” he admitted, furrowing his brow. He figured now that Sophia was here, it was a good time to talk it through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The U.S. Zombie Horde crossed into Canada and took over a small town near the border. But they’ve been unusually quiet. According to our scouts, there aren’t many zombies inside. Just one really tall, kinda dopey-looking one wandering around.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was thinking… maybe their leader isn’t there? I was about to send in a squad to attack and test the waters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Absolutely not!” Sophia cut in sharply, her voice urgent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t know that Zombie King from L.A. like I do. That guy’s a snake—master of deception and dirty tricks. He’s probably setting a trap, just waiting for you to walk in so he can wipe you out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You really think so?” Malcolm looked skeptical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know so,” Sophia said firmly. “Back when I was still human, I had run-ins with him. No one knows him better than I do. He’s definitely hiding in that town, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh…” Malcolm nodded slowly. If she was that sure, he’d hold off for now and rethink the plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as the two were deep in conversation, a member of the Vampire Race came sprinting over, clearly in a panic, ready to report something urgent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lords! That Zombie King from L.A.—he just showed up on top of a snow-covered mountain with his horde. They ambushed and wiped out a huge number of our incoming zombies!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“???” Malcolm’s face twisted in confusion, completely thrown off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t they just say he was holed up in the town, lying in wait? Now he’s on a mountaintop?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sophia’s expression froze too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did I misjudge him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That doesn’t make sense…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, an awkward silence settled between them. Neither said a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Vampire underling glanced left, then right, clearly uncomfortable but smart enough not to ask questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long pause, Malcolm finally broke the silence. “So… maybe the town is the trap?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…” Sophia opened her mouth, then closed it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahem! But this just proves what I said—he’s as sneaky as they come!” Malcolm added quickly, trying to save face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Ethan hadn’t planned anything that elaborate. He’d just left Bulldozer behind in the border town because the guy was too damn big to fit through the underground tunnels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for their safety? Not a huge concern. If things got dicey, they could always retreat back to the U.S.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Logan was still stationed at the border. That guy would fight to the death to protect the northern front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to Sophia and Malcolm, it was a total mystery. How the hell did the L.A. Zombie Horde vanish from the town and reappear on a mountaintop?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like they were ghosts—here one moment, gone the next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malcolm shook his head. “Looks like gathering our Zombie Horde won’t be as smooth as we thought. We’ll need to be more careful moving forward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah,” Sophia said, her eyes narrowing in thought. “He’s chipping away at our forces, little by little. Like boiling a frog in warm water. We can’t afford to lose any more of our people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, on the other side…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan’s zombie crew had already split up, moving stealthily through the region. Their mission: lure the Canadian Zombie Horde straight into Genesis Biotech’s camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, this wasn’t a job for Laura and the other top-tier Zombie Kings. They were too strong—no way they could fake a retreat. Hell, just showing up might scare the enemy off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the major Zombie Kings, Lil’ Shroom was the best fit for the job. She could shapeshift into a human form, making her perfect for baiting the Canadian zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there were the weaker ones—Big Ears, Shrimpy, and the other two lesser zombies…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here’s a redemption code for everyone:\u003C\u002Fp>",1336,"2026-06-02T09:29:23.633Z",1,"novelbin.me","d571464ebd38b12702aa91ddf4169e5008199e702f10dac7aeefb76b72614d07","apocalypse-king-of-zombies-chapter-651","apocalypse-king-of-zombies-chapter-599",1329,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-king-of-zombies-cover.jpg"]
