Chapter 481
Author: Marina Vittori
Dustin was in a dilemma. "Dahlia, you know I'm only average at martial arts. I've never been a Chief Security Officer before. Don't you think I'm not suited for that post?" He was good at fighting and treating illnesses, but he had no experience holding an executive position in a company. It just didn't feel right.

"You just need to be good at fighting." Dahlia smiled at him. "You don't need to do anything. You just need to oversee safety matters and, at the same time, protect me from harm."

"I …" Dustin didn't know what to say.

"Hmph! If you don't want to do it, fine." She pulled a long face. "I'll just die a quick death if someone wants to harm me. It's no big deal."

"Come on, it's not that serious." His eyes twitched.

Dahlia responded, "You're right, it's not that serious. Nicholson Corp. has tens of billions in assets. Of course, I don't need any protection as the newly appointed chairman. It's not like anyone is after their shares. Please just remember to collect my body wh

    Tristan followed Milton's gaze into the distance, where a brilliant white light was streaking toward them at breakneck speed. It carved a glowing trail across the sky, splitting massive clouds as it tore through them. In seconds, the light reached the airspace directly above the harbor. The force of its arrival stirred up hurricane-level winds that violently rocked their helicopter.When the turbulence finally eased, Tristan looked up and saw a figure in white hovering in the air, no more than 600 feet away. With his sharp eyesight, he should've been able to see the figure's face clearly. But no matter how hard he stared, everything remained blurry, as if some invisible force was deliberately obscuring the figure."Milton, can you see what this powerhouse looks like?" he asked.Milton shook his head. "No. I can't make out their face, either. They're clearly hiding their appearance on purpose.""So the powerhouse is deliberately masking their identity," Tristan said, disappointe

    Aboard the helicopter flying over the harbor, Tristan and Milton gazed down at the densely packed zombie horde covering the ground below. The sight filled them with dread.The zombie attack had begun yesterday. In barely more than ten hours, the number of people infected with the zombie virus had already exceeded 10,000.If Tristan hadn't ordered an immediate evacuation of nearby civilians, the numbers would've been far worse. His quick response had kept the outbreak from spiraling completely out of control.Even so, 10,000 bulletproof zombies posed a terrifying threat. Tristan had already launched multiple rounds of airstrikes and artillery bombardments to slow them down.Half the harbor was now in ruins, yet the damage to the horde itself had been minimal. All he could do now was try to contain the spread and buy more time."Your Highness, we've managed to lure almost all the zombies from Harbortown to this location," Milton reported after receiving a message through his earpiec

    Dustin had two ways to deal with the zombie hordes. Besides using mountains to crush them, he could also use supreme divine power to extract the death energy from their bodies.Once drained of that energy, the zombies would collapse into corpses. But the process was inefficient because he would need to extract energy from each zombie individually.When facing thousands of zombies, it was like trying to drain a lake with a cup. It would drain his strength long before it made a difference.Dustin knew brute force was far more efficient than draining death energy individually. The best solution was to herd all the zombies into one place and crush them with his mountain-moving abilities. It was simple, fast, and devastatingly effective.The only challenge lay in concentrating the zombie army. Given their nature, even one escaped zombie could cause the virus to spread rapidly again.After flattening the horde beneath the mountain, Dustin shot upward in a flash and reappeared inside the

    "Your Highness, we just lost over 1,000 men. How can I face the souls of our fallen comrades if I don't slaughter every last one of these monsters?" Neville asked.His expression was one of rage and grief, and his fingers trembled on the blade's handle."The dead can't be brought back to life. Our men have already made their sacrifice. You can't throw your life away too. We have to fall back now. Once we figure out a way to stop them, we'll avenge them properly," Matthias said firmly.Ordinary soldiers could be replaced, but a battle-hardened general like Neville was irreplaceable, and Matthias wasn't about to stand by and let that happen."But Your Highness—""This is an order!" Matthias cut Neville off.As the zombie horde closed in fast on the front line, Matthias grew anxious. Without saying anything, he pulled Neville toward a nearby helicopter.With a deafening roar, the rotors spun to life. The wind kicked up around them as the aircraft lifted off the ground.Just as the

    When the zombie army attacked, Matthias refused to retreat. He led his troops into a full-scale counteroffensive, deploying tanks and artillery against what he saw as nothing more than monstrous corpses.In his mind, even bulletproof zombies couldn't possibly withstand tank fire. A single shell could flatten solid iron, so what chance did the undead stand?The idea sounded solid in theory, but reality was completely different because there were simply too many zombies. When tens of thousands swarmed in from every direction, there was no way to hold them back.These zombies were fearless and would never back down as they charged straight into tank shells and artillery fire, as if they meant nothing to them.The military's defensive fortifications were utterly useless against the zombies. Bullets had no effect, as if the creatures were immune to gunfire.Tanks and artillery could tear their bodies apart, but the problem was efficiency. When facing tens of thousands of zombies, dozen

    "Zombies?" Dustin raised an eyebrow, surprised. "I've heard stories, but I've never actually seen one. Are they really as powerful as the legends claim?"Zombies were abominations that defied the natural order, driven by an insatiable hunger for the living and nearly impossible to kill. They fed on human flesh, especially brains. Wherever they appeared, they spread like wildfire.Ancient records claimed that some of the strongest could wipe out entire cities, leaving nothing but scorched ruins in their wake.Grace replied grimly, "They're creatures of pure darkness, unnatural and dangerous in every way. Their bodies are tough as iron, nearly bulletproof, and incredibly hard to kill. "The scariest part isn't their strength, but the virus they carry. One bite or even a scratch is enough to turn a person into one of them. And once it starts, the infection spreads like wildfire. One turns into ten, ten into 100."Compared to the plague, the zombie virus was far more aggressive and im
