Apocalypse: King of Zombies

Chapter 468: Balls… gone

“Shit! It’s Genesis Biotech!” Nora’s eyes widened the moment she realized who they were dealing with. Her instincts screamed danger—these people weren’t just passing through. They were here for them.

Genesis Biotech had a reputation, and it was nothing short of monstrous. They hunted down human survivors to use as lab rats in twisted experiments. Anyone caught by them was as good as dead—if not worse. Falling into their hands was no better than getting captured by the Black Hand Legion.

“Run!”

The four of them turned on their heels, bolting without hesitation.

But behind them, a Crystal Core Firearm flared to life. Two glowing energy spheres shot forward, exploding in front of them with twin thunderous blasts. The shockwaves rippled outward, slamming into the ground and cutting off their escape route.

A squad of Genesis Biotech Awakeners charged in right after, clearly aiming to take them alive.

“Then we fight!” Nora barked, her voice sharp and fierce. She’d rather die on her feet than be dragged off in chains.

The four of them drew their weapons, eyes hard with resolve, and clashed with the incoming Awakeners.

But it was no contest. It was like watching cats toy with mice.

Genesis Biotech didn’t want them dead, so they held back just enough to avoid killing blows—but that didn’t make it any less brutal.

“These survivors just don’t know when to quit,” Frank muttered from inside the armored vehicle, watching the scene unfold on a monitor. “They’re all gonna end up in the same place anyway. Why bother struggling?”

On the screen, Nora and her team were completely surrounded—more than ten Awakeners closing in, hemming them in like predators circling prey. The four of them fought back desperately, blades flashing, trying to keep the enemy at bay.

Then one of the enemy—a brute of a man with strength-based powers—swung a heavy kukri with bone-crushing force. It smashed into Nora’s short blade with a metallic screech that rang through the air. The impact split the skin between her thumb and forefinger, blood spurting out as her weapon flew from her grasp.
