Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

"Roar!"

The zombie let out an enraged howl, claws extended as it lunged at the group.

"Bang, bang, bang…!"

In an instant, a fierce battle erupted, with both sides clashing within moments.

"Thud!"

One team member was struck down with a single punch, his chest caving in, killing him instantly.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…"

Immediately after, three more were torn to shreds, blood and gore everywhere!

In just one exchange, seven people were dead!

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, Melvin was furious, his anger boiling over as he wished to tear the zombie to pieces.

However, this zombie was not just incredibly strong; its defense was nearly impenetrable. No matter how much they hacked and slashed, it remained unscathed.

In contrast, only a few managed to escape by luck, while the rest were all dead.

In less than thirty seconds, the once bustling town fell silent, leaving behind a sea of bodies and bloodstained shells, a testament to their existence.

"Huff… huff…"

Melvin panted heavily, looking disheveled and covered in grime and blood. His clothes were torn to shreds, as if he had crawled out of a garbage heap.

Beside him, his remaining teammates were in a similar state, bruised and bloodied, some barely clinging to life.

"This creature is too terrifying. We should leave now," a teammate painfully reminded him, feeling as though every inch of his skin was being pricked by needles.

But Melvin gritted his teeth, eyes filled with intense hatred.

"Even if I die today, I'm going to kill this zombie," he snarled.

His parents, sister, and friends had been captured and eaten by zombies. He was determined to get his revenge!

The other teammates also chimed in, having lost any hope of escape, now only wishing to avenge their loved ones.

"Alright, let's go all out. If we can take down even one of them, it's worth it," the others agreed with determination.

"Good, brothers, charge with me!" Melvin shouted, leading the charge toward the zombie.

The others followed closely, having resolved to fight to the death, preferring to die standing rather than live kneeling.

"Thud!"

A dagger pierced the zombie's head, but it caused no harm.

Seeing this, Melvin slashed down again with his knife, but to no avail.

The other teammates attacked furiously as well.

Unfortunately, the zombie's strength far exceeded their expectations. Even using their martial skills, they could only barely hold off its attacks.

"Thud!"

The zombie kicked Melvin, sending him flying and crashing to the ground.

"Cough, cough..."

Melvin lay on the ground, clutching his stomach and coughing violently, feeling as if his internal organs were about to spill out.

"Melvin, are you okay?"

"Hang in there, Brother Melvin. We're coming to help!"

Seeing Melvin's plight, the remaining teammates abandoned their attacks and ran toward him.

"Roar!"

The zombie roared again and charged at them.

"Even if I die, I'm taking you down with me," Melvin snarled, his eyes fierce. He picked up the dagger from the ground and lunged at the zombie without hesitation.

But just then, a silver streak of light suddenly sliced through the air, accurately hitting the zombie's neck and striking its crystal core perfectly.

In an instant, the zombie froze in place, its eyes slowly closing before it finally collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Whoosh..."

As the zombie fell, a large amount of green mist rose around it, quickly enveloping a ten-meter radius.

Then, the green mist gradually dissipated, and the surroundings returned to silence, leaving only scattered limbs and wreckage.

"Snore... snore..."

A sound of snoring came from the terrified villagers, who had all fallen asleep.

Melvin and his team collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. The fierce battle had left them exhausted and severely depleted.

"Did we... win?" one teammate couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Melvin shook his head bitterly, "We lost..."

Even with so many of them fighting together, they couldn't defeat the zombie. Victory seemed impossible.

Upon hearing this, the others were stunned, their eyes filled with hopelessness.

They were utterly exhausted and had no strength left to resist the zombie. Were they doomed to die here?Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Yawn~"

Just then, a lazy voice suddenly rang out, filled with drowsiness.

When everyone looked up, they saw a woman standing before them.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Melvin asked, frowning and sounding wary.

The woman looked young, with a curvaceous figure. She wore a loose t-shirt with a neckline so low it almost revealed her cleavage. Her skin was fair and smooth.

She was incredibly beautiful, with mesmerizing eyes that seemed to draw you in, a perfectly shaped nose, and tempting pink lips. Her voluptuous curves made her look like a seductive enchantress.

However, Melvin's attention wasn't on her beauty but on her frail appearance, as if she could barely stand.

"Everyone, be careful. This might be another mutant," he warned.

Although Melvin was astonished by the beauty's appearance, he wasn't fooled. He knew she had ill intentions; otherwise, she wouldn't have been hiding and attacking them from the shadows.

Hearing his words, the other teammates became alert.

However, the beauty looked innocent and said, "Don't misunderstand. I just woke up and am a bit sleepy. I'm not the mutant you think I am."

"Hmph, you're lying. We don't believe you."

"Exactly. You defeated so many of us, and now you expect us to believe you'll let us go?"

The other teammates sneered.

Hearing this, the beauty's lips twitched slightly before she sighed, "Well, if you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

Melvin and his team became even more cautious. This woman was too suspicious, openly admitting she was a mutant, which made them even more wary.

"What exactly are you? Why have you been watching us?" Melvin asked sternly.

The beauty shrugged and said wistfully, "Sigh... I'm human, but you insist on seeing me as a monster. What can I do?"

Her voice was soft and melodious, like a singing nightingale, sending shivers down their spines.

However, Melvin and his team remained on high alert, their bodies tense, fearing a sudden attack from this woman. They didn't want to be caught off guard.

Just then, a sudden voice rang out, and everyone turned to see Alex had appeared.

"What are you doing here?"
