Chapter 423
The cold wind blew across the dirt courtyard. It carried the terrible smell of rotten meat and old blood.Jonah hung on the massive, rusted steel cross. Thick iron spikes were driven completely through the palms of his hands and the tops of his boots. He could not move. He could not kick. He was completely trapped.Below him, the horde of Blessed Ones gathered. They were not fast monsters. They were slow, starving, heavily mutated zombies. Their skin was covered in the pulsing red and black slime of the Dead Zone. Their jaws hung open, dripping thick, dark saliva onto the gray ash.They looked up at Jonah. They smelled his fresh, hot blood.The first zombie reached the base of the cross. It was a man missing half of his face. The monster raised its dirty, sharp claws. It grabbed Jonah’s left leg.The monster opened its rotting mouth. It bit down incredibly hard into the thick muscle of Jonah’s calf.The pain was absolute. It was raw, burning, and completely human.Jonah locked his ja

BANG! The spike went deeper, locking Jonah’s left hand permanently to the metal cross.The man walked around to the right side. He placed another thick iron spike over Jonah’s right hand.BANG! The spike tore through his right palm. Blood sprayed onto the rusted steel.Jonah’s entire body shook with the terrible shock. His breath came in fast, sharp gasps through his nose. His vision went completely black for a second. The pain was an ocean, and he was drowning in it.Without the magical System, there was no auto-healing. There were no pain blockers. He was feeling every single terrible sensation a human body could feel.BANG! The second spike was hammered deep into the steel.Finally, the man knelt down at Jonah’s feet. He took one last, massive iron spike. He drove it directly through the tops of Jonah’s heavy boots, pinning his feet to the bottom of the steel pole.BANG! BANG! It was done. Jonah was crucified.He hung there in the cold wind, bleeding, broken, and helpless. The pain

"When you broke Fort Ashfall," Cain said, his voice dropping to an angry whisper, "you became a legend. People all over the world heard your radio broadcast. They think you are an unbeatable survivor. They think you are a god who can tear down any wall."Cain leaned closer to Jonah’s face."Legends give people hope," Cain hissed. "Hope makes people fight back. And fighting back insults the grand design of the virus."General Silas walked down the steps. He stopped next to Cain. Silas looked at Jonah with deep scientific curiosity."Prophet," Silas said smoothly. "The giant’s body is a miracle of biology and system integration. His scars are unique. If we take him into the laboratories, if we dissect him while he is alive, we can learn how to bind the virus to our own soldiers perfectly. Do not waste him."Cain turned his bald, tattooed head to look at Silas."You are a smart man, General Silas," Cain said coldly. "But you do not understand religion. Science does not rule the world. Be
Chapter 420
Jonah woke up in the dark.For a long time, he did not know where he was. He could not see anything. He could only feel. And what he felt was absolute, terrible pain.His body bounced up and down. Rumble. Rumble. Bump. He was lying on a hard metal floor. The floor was moving. He realized he was in the back of a large, heavy truck.Jonah tried to move his arms. He could not. Thick, heavy iron chains wrapped tightly around his massive chest. The chains squeezed his broken ribs. His wrists and ankles were locked in cold steel cuffs. The metal dug deep into his skin, rubbing against the thick iron scars on his arms.He took a slow, shallow breath. The air smelled like gasoline, dirty exhaust smoke, and raw meat.The magical System inside his head was completely silent. There were no bright blue letters. There was no health bar. There was no Adaptive Reward Conversion to turn his terrible pain into glowing power. He had turned the machine off to save his soul. Now, he was just a man. A v
Chapter 419
The falling roof crushed the other two suicide bombers instantly. It crushed a dozen guards in white masks. It trapped the remaining Elite Zombie under a massive pile of heavy wood.The church was falling apart. The air was thick with choking dust and black smoke. Small fires burned everywhere, lighting the room in a hellish orange glow.Jonah pushed himself up from the floor. He was covered in gray dust and dark blood. His clothes were completely ruined. He could barely stand. His left leg dragged behind him. He coughed up blood. Huurk... cough. He looked at his mind.[STAMINA: 5%][MANA: 1%]“Seven minutes,” Jonah counted in his head. “They are halfway there.”Through the thick smoke, the guards who survived the falling roof raised their guns.BANG! BANG! BANG! A bullet hit Jonah in the stomach, right next to his massive, open wound. Another bullet hit him in the ribs.Jonah fell to his knees. He could not breathe. The pain was absolute, complete torture. There was no magic to sav
Chapter 418
Cain let go of the thick iron chains. "Tear him to pieces," Cain commanded the two massive Elite Zombies. "Eat his heart."The two giant monsters roared. RRRRUUUUMMMBLE!They charged down the center aisle of the church. They were incredibly fast. Their heavy iron plates clanked together loudly. They raised their long, jagged bone swords. Black slime dripped from the sharp edges.Jonah did not have a weapon. He did not step back. He looked deep inside his mind.The magical System was dark. He had turned off the Adaptive Reward Conversion. He did not want to feel the fake, glowing power.But there were two small bars left in the corner of his vision. They were the basic human metrics the System recorded.[STAMINA: 40%][MANA: 15%]He was incredibly tired. His body was bleeding. But he did not need the System to tell him that. He could feel it.“Twelve minutes,” Jonah thought to himself. “It takes twelve minutes to run two miles up the mountain. I have to fight for twelve minutes.”The f
