True Apocalypse Game

The Legion Commander frowned and quickly asked,

"What’s about to wake up? That tower has a life of its own?!"

When the tremor hit, the Symbiote zombies before them shuddered violently. Instead of answering the Legion Commander, their faces twisted with utter despair as they rushed to the window in unison, staring out at the high tower in New York City.

At that moment, the twisted, spiraling tower seemed to have come completely alive. It began to writhe and rotate again, straightening into a tall spire that shot straight into the sky!

In the next instant, countless mouths sprouted all over the tower’s surface, and together they emitted a low, droning hum!

"He’s awake... He’s awake..." the thousand Symbiote zombies at the base entrance growled in unison. Their bodies trembled, and tears of blood streamed from their eyes. They looked as if they were mourning the death of their own parents.

The surrounding Salvation Army Warriors on guard duty stirred uneasily, unsure of what was happening. They immediately heightened their alert, aiming every kind of firearm at the Symbiote zombies, ready to eliminate them the moment they rioted.

But what worried the Salvation Army Warriors even more was the tower that had just straightened itself.

In the command room, Nick was also watching through the window as the distant, twisted tower straightened, and he muttered,

"Motherfucker... Did that thing pop a Viagra?"

The ten Symbiote zombies were also weeping tears of blood, their bodies trembling as they chanted incessantly,

"He’s awake... He’s awake..."

Their tone was one of zombies facing their own apocalypse.

The Legion Commander’s sharp brows twitched. An imposing aura emanated from him, and he asked in a deep voice,

"It woke up?"

At the same time, he turned and commanded,

"All units, highest alert! Tell everyone to abandon all illusions and prepare for war!"

The Symbiote zombies had already turned back to face the Legion Commander, a tragic smile on their faces.

"The Destructive... The Destructive has awakened... We will all become its slaves, become a part of it, become a single one of its cells... I don’t want this... To lose my free will, I would rather die... Kill me... Kill me... Kill me!"

With that, the ten Symbiote zombies roared and lunged at the Legion Commander and his men.

The surrounding Salvation Army Warriors, already on high alert, immediately pulled their triggers, unleashing a volley of bullets that riddled the heads of all ten Symbiote zombies, turning them into sieves.

At the same time, the thousand Symbiote zombies waiting outside also roared and charged the surrounding Salvation Army forces.

But the main cannons, anti-aircraft guns, and heavy machine guns that were already aimed and ready instantly spewed tongues of flame, mowing down the Symbiote zombies like wheat. Their bodies were torn to pieces, blasted into a pulp on the spot.

Even with over a thousand zombies, they stood absolutely no chance against heavy weaponry that was already poised to fire!

But what puzzled the Salvation Army Warriors was that although the zombies looked ferocious and terrifying, they never brandished their claws or fangs. They also clearly knew which weapons were more powerful, with many lunging directly into the muzzles of the anti-aircraft guns.

It didn’t look like an attack at all, but rather a collective suicide—a charge that welcomed death...

In the command room, the high-ranking officers of the Salvation Army stared at the ten headshot Symbiote zombies on the floor, their expressions grim.

They had heard the Symbiote zombies’ last words, so they naturally understood that the creatures had truly chosen to commit suicide!

But why would they do that?

They were already zombies—to humans, they were just walking corpses. Why would they choose to die a second time!?

It was simply inconceivable!

In this bio-apocalypse, could there possibly be something that even zombies were afraid of?

The Salvation Army Warriors once again looked up at the tower outside.

They had all heard the words of the Symbiote zombies loud and clear.

He’s about to awaken... the Destructive...

This "Destructive" was clearly the thing that had terrified the Symbiote zombies.

And it was obviously connected to the tower.

The Legion Commander’s gaze was profound as he stared at the tower.

Previously, Li Tongchen and the others had discussed whether zombies possessed intelligence. Their conclusion was that for the barren, withered brains of zombies to achieve sapience, countless individuals would have to form a Symbiote to collectively transmit and process information.

The very structure of a zombie’s brain, it seemed, was also conducive to this kind of information transfer.

This was why, when the Symbiote zombies appeared, the Legion Commander was able to instantly recognize them for what they were: a Symbiote.

But now, things were clearly changing again...

Just then, Vasily, Mick, and others walked in hurriedly, reporting to the Legion Commander,

"Legion Commander, according to satellite imagery, it’s not just New York City. The towers in urban ruins everywhere seem to have awakened. They’ve all straightened up..."

"That’s right. Special electromagnetic waves have been detected in the atmosphere. Zombies everywhere are being affected and have started gathering at the towers!"

They didn’t need to be told. Everyone could see it through the windows. The zombies that had been aimlessly wandering through New York City were now, as if possessed or sleepwalking, stampeding toward the tower in the city center.

It was as if they had all received a signal!

Li Tongchen, dressed in a white lab coat, also rushed in. His expression was grave as he asked the Legion Commander,
