End of the World? I'm the Boss novel Chapter 452

Chapter 452 Sotnething Far Worse

A zombie with thought could issue commands to ordinary zombies, conceal its own identity, and orchestrate attacks with a crude but effective strategy. Its intelligence might not be human–level, but the very existence of a thinking zombie was terrifying enough.

Robin’s expression was grim as her eyes swept rapidly across the remaining horde.

She had to find it. Fast.

The thinking zombie wasn’t dangerous just because of its own abilities. A zombie with self–preservation instincts would worry about its own safety.

That meant an extremely powerful zombie was lurking in the shadows, protecting their master.

Perhaps even more than one.

Those hidden bodyguards were the real backbone of the horde, and they were far beyond anything the base’s defenders could handle.

Right at that moment, the fighters on the ground began another rotation, a procedure they’d performed so many times it was practically muscle memory.

But during the handoff, disaster struck.

Three shadows–impossibly fast, faster than anything they’d seen all night–exploded from somewhere within the horde. Before anyone could react, crimson blood sprayed into the air, warm and thick.

Robin’s face twisted. She’d already moved at maximum speed, barely managing to throw up a wall of ice in time.

But the ice only blocked part of the attack. Several people died on the spot.

The sudden carnage left everyone stunned. They hadn’t even registered what had happened before their comrades were dead beside them.

‘What the hell was that?!”

Langston couldn’t stop the words from leaving his mouth.

He’d just been asking whether something could go wrong–and before the words had finished echoing something had.

Those three shadows. What are they? How could anything move that fast!!

“All Heningford Base civilians, retreat inside the walls immediately!”

Robin’s voice cracked like a whip, snapping the paralyzed crowd back to reality

They ran for the gates in a blind panic. The sight of those three shadows had shattered whatever confidence they’d built over the long night.

Chapter 452 Something For Worse

They’d just found their footing, just started to believe they could win.

Finished

Some had even begun thinking zombies aren’t so tough after all–only to have that illusion obliterated in the next breath by three shadows that killed without effort.

The psychological blow was devastating.

Those three zombies were almost certainly Level 6.

Robin had already formed her assessment.

Level 6 zombies…

If there had been only one, she might have been able to handle it.

But now, three Level 6 zombies had appeared at once.

And behind those three, there was still the intelligent zombie pulling the strings.

Four in total…

Robin drew a deep breath. “Elite squads–the remaining 1,000 zombies are yours. I know the pressure is enormous, but the situation is critical. I need you to hold them.

Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter–the three new zombies are Level 6. All three of them! This is serious.”

‘Level 6!”

The words sent a collective gasp through the ranks.

Level 6. And there were three.

I’ll take one. The other two are on the rest of you.”

Robin inhaled.

The others exchanged glances, every face grim. “Understood.”

Level 6 zombies were no joke.

They’d each evolved unique abilities, and their speed alone was leagues beyond anything else in the

Swarm.

Robin couldn’t afford to be careless. She extended her hand, and the Violet Reaper materialized in her grip, radiating a faint purple glow and a palpable aura of death.

Langston stared, dumbfounded.
