That terrifying figure—the Zombie King—was walking toward them, one slow, deliberate step at a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura’s mouth stretched into a grin that reached her ears, revealing a row of razor-sharp teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She... she’s coming!\" one of the girls whispered, her spine going cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why the hell does this Zombie King have ranged weapons?\" a young man nearby asked, disbelief written all over his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have no idea!\" a middle-aged man muttered, his expression dazed. A chilling thought crept into his mind—could she have come from a lab?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regret hit him like a truck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe they should’ve listened to the team’s warning. Maybe they never should’ve messed with her in the first place...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few others behind them were just as speechless. With a captain like this, it felt like fate had already sealed their doom.s had been living too comfortably for too long. Their sense of danger had dulled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, if that’s how it is, then we’ve got no choice. We fight!\" the middle-aged man said, eyes narrowing with resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three teammates responded in unison. Against a speed-type Zombie King, turning your back to run was suicide. You’d just be offering up your spine for the kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Absolute Zero!!\" the captain roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the air around them plummeted in temperature. It was like being yanked from the middle of a scorching summer into the dead of winter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of freezing energy surged outward, and wherever it passed, the ground iced over in thick, cracking frost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll lock her down. You guys look for an opening to strike!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They nodded quickly, following their captain’s lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speed-type Zombie Kings were terrifying, sure—but they had one fatal flaw. If you could pin them down, all their advantages vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And right now, this plan... it just might work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the frost had barely reached Laura’s feet when her body flickered sideways—unnaturally fast—and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the—?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone froze, stunned. They knew she was fast, but this was insane...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where’d she go?\" the captain muttered, brows furrowed, heart pounding. The unknown was the most terrifying thing of all. A Zombie King disappearing right in front of you? It felt like death could strike at any second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s on the right!\" a woman in the group shouted. She was a psychic-type Awakener, her mental energy spread out like a radar, able to sense even the faintest presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment the words left her mouth—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A monstrous face appeared inches from hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura’s alloy claws slashed forward, aiming straight for the woman’s throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch out!\" a young man behind her shouted, yanking out a machete and diving in front of her. He was a speed-type Awakener too, and his reflexes weren’t bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Metal clashed with metal, sparks flying in every direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman was so close she could hear the screech of steel grinding against steel. Her eardrums throbbed from the sound, and her heart nearly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zombie King’s first target... had been her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank god—he blocked it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as relief washed over her, Laura’s arm began to shift. The liquid metal twisted and writhed, her claw morphing mid-strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single, needle-sharp spike shot out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shlkkk—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It pierced straight through the woman’s forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes went wide, frozen in shock. Warm blood streamed down from the center of her brow, painting her terrified face in red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wh... what the hell...\" the young man beside her stood frozen, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected that. No one had. That kind of attack—so sudden, so precise—it happened in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura had landed a perfect kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as quickly, she darted back, retreating into the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did the rest of the team realize what had just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll kill you!\" the young man snarled through clenched teeth. His teammate’s death had lit a fire in him—rage and grief boiling over. Without thinking, he gripped his machete and charged straight at Laura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! Get back here!\" the middle-aged captain shouted, panic in his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the young man was already halfway there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura’s lips curled into a wicked grin. \"These people have no combat discipline. One teammate dies and they lose their heads. Must’ve grown up in a greenhouse—never seen real battle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t wait. Her body flickered forward, meeting him head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They passed each other in a blur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man ended up behind her—but his head didn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body collapsed to the ground, headless, and skidded forward on momentum alone, leaving a long, bloody trail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain and the remaining girl froze in horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had happened so fast, they hadn’t even seen what went down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-it’s okay... I’m SS-rank too. She won’t kill me that easily,\" the captain stammered, his voice trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was trying to reassure the girl—but mostly, he was trying to convince himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura’s bloodstained eyes locked onto him. Her body crouched low like a predator ready to pounce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain’s nerves were stretched to the breaking point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared wide-eyed, not even daring to blink, every muscle in his body tensed for defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zigzag Blitz...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura whispered the words, and her body shot into motion, zigzagging at impossible speed, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was so fast, the afterimages looked like clones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain’s face twisted in shock. He spun around, eyes darting—there were over a dozen Lauras surrounding him now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, all of them leapt at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A storm of claws and shadows descended on him like a pack of demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even have time to scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seconds later, his mutilated corpse hit the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... please, don’t kill me! I’m just the recorder! I only take notes, I swear! Please—!\" the last girl sobbed, collapsing to the ground, her voice cracking with terror. She looked so small, so helpless, tears streaming down her cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura stepped up to her, claws dripping with blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised her arm—and with a single swipe, slit the girl’s throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Caw—caw—caw—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out in the open plains, Buddy Crow soared over Bulldozer’s head, letting out a series of sharp, echoing cries that rang across the wasteland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Buddy Crow says Laura just wiped out another recon team,\" Bulldozer said, glancing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Queen Laura... she’s a beast,\" Big Ears muttered, clearly impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bulldozer scowled and leaned in toward him. \"So... when do we get to hunt something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax, Bulldozer. The humans’ll be here soon. Just stay hidden in the mist for now,\" Big Ears instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, whatever,\" Bulldozer grunted, then melted back into the thick black fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big Ears stepped out with Shrimpy and Locomotive, signaling Mist to keep pumping out the fog—and to crank it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let’s dangle the bait a little,\" Big Ears said with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem! I’m great at being bait,\" Shrimpy chirped, then grabbed his crotch and gave a little shimmy, striking a pose like he was about to start dancing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big Ears and Locomotive stared at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All those hours of club dancing weren’t wasted after all...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, they waited for the humans to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truth was, a human recon squad had already spotted the area. The massive black fog was impossible to miss—it loomed like a storm cloud over the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing how ominous and unnatural it looked, they assumed something huge and dangerous was hiding inside. No one dared approach alone, so they called in backup from other teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was risky, sure—but scouting Necroterra was their mission. They had to assess the threat before the main force arrived, or risk walking into a death trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone ready? We’re heading into the black fog zone,\" a young man said into his comms, voice steady but tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Replies came in quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Copy that. Our team’s in position—moving in now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On my way. ETA two minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Approaching the target zone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man took a deep breath. He was cautious—maybe even a little scared—but he had to lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This much black fog... there’s definitely something freaky in there. Everyone, stay sharp. Don’t let your guard down for a second.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1354,"2026-06-02T09:29:27.475Z",1,"novelbin.me","ce18dc487dc84817aae1a03d192a929e17340f4baa79bae78ca432e7fa70e581","apocalypse-king-of-zombies-chapter-750","apocalypse-king-of-zombies-chapter-748",1329,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-king-of-zombies-cover.jpg"]
