On the battlefield, Ethan's gaze locked onto the grotesque, bloated figure of the Zombie King, Butcher. The thing was bizarre—its massive gut had arms growing out of it.
No doubt, this was an Aberrant Zombie.
Right now, it was in a frenzy, charging straight for Elias's squad.
"Well, isn't this convenient..." Ethan mused, watching the so-called "reinforcement" barrel toward the battlefield. It almost felt like the damn thing was here to help him.
Butcher's goal was obvious—it was after the high-grade crystal core.
Yeah, not happening.
Ethan activated his stealth ability, slipping into the chaos as he made his way toward the action. This was his specialty—snatching crystal cores right from under everyone's noses.
Meanwhile, the human forces were crumbling, barely holding their ground.
With Jacob's retreat order in place, Elias's squad had no choice but to fall back alongside the Genesis Biotech Awakeners. They couldn't afford to go head-to-head with the Zombie Horde.
