Ch 82. The War Drums of Lantern Sector
Filthy dust rained down from the stone ceiling of the water prison, settling on the shoulders of refugees huddled together in terror.Thud. Thud. Thud.The sound was no ordinary earthquake. It was the synchronized march of tens of thousands of living dead advancing across the surface of Lantern Sector, directly above their heads. The vibrations were so powerful that puddles on the stone floor rippled violently, while the walls of the water prison groaned as though they were about to collapse.“An apocalypse... This is a goddamn apocalypse!” one of the clan's young men wailed, clutching his trembling head. “There’s no end to those monsters! The ceiling could cave in at any moment!”“Doctor, what are we supposed to do?! My baby won’t stop crying because of that noise!” a woman screamed, clutching her infant with a deathly pale face.Mass panic began spreading like a deadly poison throughout the underground stronghold. A dozen clan loyalists who had been standing at attention moments ear
Ch 81. The Giant Shadow Behind the Fog
The night sky above the Lantern Sector looked as though it were bleeding. Fiery red and sickly green light from the exploding lantern oil facility billowed high into the sky, driving back the thick storm clouds and casting a flickering glow across the muddy pools below.The tremors from the explosion had not yet fully subsided. The air still vibrated with residual force. But amid the swirling dust, an incredibly deep and deafening roar tore through the silence of the night.HRAAAAAAAAARRRGGGHHHH!The sound was nothing like a human or an ordinary zombie.Its frequency was ancient, savage, and filled with such overwhelming dominance that it seemed capable of paralyzing reason itself.Wu Chen, who had only just dragged himself out of the muddy lake, froze where he stood. His dragon cane slipped from his hand. His left hand clutched his chest, which was covered by mutated leather armor. His heart pounded wildly, sending sharp waves of pain through him as the remnants of the Primordial Ser
Ch 80. The Birth of the Monster King
“Cough! Cough! Gahk!”Murky lake water mixed with thick mud surged from Wu Chen’s throat. The former mafia king crawled with great difficulty through the icy shallows toward the shore. His trembling fingers clawed into the roots of dead mangrove trees, dragging his battered body out of the filthy water.His breathing came in harsh, ragged gasps, painfully loud in the middle of the night. His left leg, still stiff from the lingering paralysis, dragged helplessly through the mud.Behind him, Jiao, San, and three other clan loyalists crawled onto dry land. They coughed violently, vomiting up lake water and the remnants of the acidic gas they had inhaled. Their clothes were torn to shreds, their bodies covered in horrific burns and bruises.But they had made it out alive.“Boss... we made it, Boss,” Jiao groaned, collapsing onto his back in the wild grass, his chest heaving. Tears of relief streamed down his soot-streaked face. “We really made it out of hell.”Wu Chen did not answer. With
Ch 79. Escaping Through the Eye of a Needle
“Everyone, run for the drainage chute!”Wu Chen’s roar thundered through the facility, tearing through the shrill decompression alarms screaming throughout the steel corridors.The floor beneath their boots shook violently, as if struck by a tectonic earthquake. The reactor engines in the chamber behind them, already beginning to overload, sounded like metal being ripped apart by invisible blades. Blood-red emergency lights flashed aggressively, illuminating the absolute panic that had seized the hellish facility.Jiao, San, and the remaining clan loyalists stationed at the intersection immediately ran after Wu Chen. Their faces were deathly pale, covered in cold sweat and soot.“Boss! Is the reactor really about to blow?!” Jiao shouted between ragged breaths as he ran alongside Wu Chen.“We’ve got less than a minute before this place turns into an ash crater! Keep running. Nobody stops to catch their breath!” Wu Chen roared.The left side of his chest, now covered in mutated black ar
Ch 78. The Collapse of the Devil's Nest
“Shoot him! Blow his head off now!” Dr. Xue roared in panic, pointing straight at Wu Chen. The scientist’s arrogant composure shattered the instant he saw the flash of vertical red pupils in the young man’s eyes.A dozen elite laboratory soldiers immediately raised their straight-barreled rifles. The muzzles glowed with blinding light as they gathered scorching meridian energy, ready to unleash it.But before their fingers could even pull the triggers, Wu Chen had already vanished from sight.“Too late, bastards,” a voice as cold as ice whispered directly beside the lead soldier’s ear.The mutative effects of the Prototype Serum coursing through his veins had given him an agility beyond reason. Wu Chen shot forward like a demonic shadow unleashed from hell. The soot-covered dagger in his hand flashed through the air.SRAAAT!The throats of two elite soldiers were sliced open in a single, flawlessly curved strike. Blood sprayed across the glass archive shelves. They did not even realiz
Ch 77. Shen Luo's Record of Sins
An oppressive silence settled over the blood-soaked underground chamber.Jiao and San stood frozen in place, the weapons in their hands trembling violently. They stared at the young man who had just risen from a pool of necrotic fluid, their minds paralyzed by a mixture of terror and awe.Wu Chen’s once-severely burned and mangled left chest was now covered in a layer of hard, black skin resembling natural armor. The veins in his neck still pulsed with a brilliant blue glow, remnants of the Prototype Serum coursing through his body. But what truly made the two loyal clan members’ courage falter was their leader’s gaze. Wu Chen’s pupils now bore faintly glowing, blood-red vertical slits in the darkness, exactly like those of an apex predator reigning supreme at the top of the food chain.“Little Boss...” Jiao called out, his voice trembling as he swallowed the bitter lump in his throat. “You... you’re still Boss Wu Chen, right? You haven’t turned into a monster like that walking pile o
