"We will give you absolutely anything. Please, kill that monster right now."The muscular man's pathetic shrieks shattered the tension in the convenience store parking lot. He tossed his iron pipe onto the asphalt and fell to his knees, begging Zac. His pride as a fighter had been utterly pulverized beneath the shadow of impending death.The military mutant pivoted its massive frame. Its bloodshot eyes locked onto Zac, who stood casually atop the roof of the sedan. The creature bared rows of razor-sharp teeth dripping with toxic green slime. A low growl rumbled from its throat, generating vibrations so intense they cracked the remaining glass of the convenience store."Your lives hold absolutely no value in this world," Zac replied, his tone as cold as ice. He stared down at the three survivors, utterly diminishing their existence. "I do not need your money. I do not need your gratitude. I need assets capable of operating under my absolute command.""What do you mean by assets?" the s

​"Start the truck's engine right now, Rex! Ram that steel gate before the monster horde tears it down!"​Zac shouted the command, his voice echoing loudly as he pointed toward the exit. Hundreds of rotting hands could be seen slipping beneath the gap of the gates, desperately trying to crawl into the port warehouse.​Rex slammed his foot down hard on the gas pedal. The black cargo truck's diesel engine roared ferociously, spewing thick black smoke from its exhaust. The massive tires spun violently, desperately gripping the concrete floor.​"Hold on tight, Boss!" Rex yelled, viciously spinning the steering wheel to straighten the truck's trajectory.​The steel truck launched forward, slamming into the two-ton iron gates with absolute full force. A deafening explosion of crashing metal filled the night air. The gate hinges were violently ripped from the concrete walls. The thick iron structure was thrown forward, crushing dozens of walking corpses swarming directly behind it.​The truck

"Load all our loot into the back of the truck." Zac issued a flat command, slipping his scalpel back into his coat pocket.​Zac's pale face betrayed not the slightest hint of emotion. He stared at Kira, who was diligently wiping the sweat from Leo's forehead. The golden scanner screen on his retinas had just deactivated, hiding the massive secret he had just discovered. Slitting the hacker's throat right here and now would be incredibly easy. However, Zac had a far more profitable plan. He would keep this venomous snake alive a little longer to lure the Scorpion clan's forces into a deadly trap.​Kira turned to look at Zac and nodded obediently. "Yes, Boss. I will help Rex load these supply bags right now."​The black cargo truck sped away, leaving the ruined secret research facility far behind. The pitch-black night of Force City flawlessly concealed their movements. A cold wind blew through the shattered window, whipping against Zac's face as he meticulously formulated a strategy fo

​"Shut your mouth, or I will rip out your vocal cords this exact second."​Zac delivered the absolute threat, aiming his silver scalpel directly at Rex's throat. The scrawny mechanic froze instantly. His heavy, frantic breathing immediately slowed to a terrified hush. Rex nodded obediently, fighting back a fear that violently shivered through his entire body.​Pitch-black darkness enveloped the port's wastewater drainage sewer. The air was incredibly freezing, heavy with the pungent stench of factory chemicals and human waste. Ankle-deep pools of filthy water soaked their boots. The sound of water dripping from the concrete ceiling echoed, shattering the dead silence of the night.​At the far end of the dark corridor, the rapid, sickening sound of chattering teeth echoed back and forth. The sound originated from dozens of walking corpses crawling along the damp walls. The creatures moved with the disturbing gait of giant spiders navigating the tunnel.​[Tactical warning. Aquatic-varia

​"Shut your garbage-smelling mouth, you ugly creature!"​Zac shouted loudly, shattering the absolute silence within the underground tunnel. His left hand aimed the barrel of the assault rifle directly at the giant yellow eye looming in front of him. His index finger pulled the trigger without a single second of hesitation.​A rapid barrage of armor-piercing bullets tore through the air, spewing bright flashes of muzzle fire. The metal projectiles slammed viciously into the black, scaly face and chest of the aquatic monster. Sparks flew wildly as the bullets violently scraped against the creature's hardened scales. The military-grade assault rifle fire had completely failed to penetrate the apex predator's natural layers of defense.​The giant monster let out a deafening roar. The sheer volume of its shriek generated a massive sonic wave that vibrated all the wastewater flooding the concrete corridor.​[Absolute level threat warning. Third-tier aquatic mutant entity confirmed. The host
