Anatomy of a Killer

Chapter 89 – The Red Wedding, Part 11

Alicia’s brutal murder had left behind bite marks. Larry remembered this perfectly, since he was the one who performed the autopsy and provided the agents with the necessary tools to catch the killer.

Of course, all of this was based on a preliminary investigation of the suspects, and that’s where the evidence came in—the evidence that could tell them who was or wasn’t involved.

That w...

Alexandria Community.

"Move all the vehicles and clear the area—I want this space ready to receive my people without any issues!"

In the darkness of the night, everyone in Alexandria moved back and forth carrying large items in their hands. Ever since Jason’s group arrived, a special place had been prepared within the community so the helicopters’ containers co...

Chapter 185 – The Distress Signal

All life is valuable—that’s what Morgan had believed ever since he was saved by Jason’s group. He knew he would be eternally grateful for the safe haven they created in this apocalyptic world, and for sharing it with his family.

It had been nearly a month since Jason had left the prison with a group in search of answers. As one of those responsible for keeping things running ...

“Zz… All units, initiate containment maneuver!”

“Fire!”

Raj, who watched from a distance as Jonathan was hurled violently through numerous walls, stepped forward. Along with the Healing Forces’ special units, he opened fire without restraint on the wave of flames rising before them.

But within seconds, Jonathan, now covered in blood, returned to the battlefi...

Chapter 14 – The Intensity Rises

When one is on the brink of death, they begin to think more deeply than they normally would. Many, in such situations, ask themselves “why,” but Jonathan, caught in a life-or-death battle, never questioned anything.

Instead, he found that if he died, he would be fulfilling a noble purpose.

He had never before worked with such wholehearted devotion to serving othe...

Atlanta, advanced training base.

At that moment, two hundred soldiers stood in perfect formation, wearing special gray combat suits labeled Arm-3J. These special suits had been in development since the growth base was established at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

The Arm-3J combat suits were specifically designed for fighting against all kinds of anomalies. Not...

Chapter 183 – What I Want to Take

Jesus had arrived a little later than Jason. He had heard his words and truly didn’t know what was about to happen now that they were all gathered in this community.

But the truth was, Jason had no intention of leaving this place anytime soon. Even though Gregory chased him down the hallway, the old man stopped when he saw the others doing the same.

Sighing in defeat, G...

Roarrrr!

The creature standing before Jonathan was monstrous to the point it had ceased to be human. Now anyone could see that fierce two-legged beast, bones protruding from its robust body, and a pair of horns from its head that could touch the ceiling.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The temperature dropped, the walls cracked, and everyone felt a growing emptiness in their chests ...

Chapter 12 – Containment of the Dark Entity

"Damn, everything’s gotten out of control..." Jonathan, even if he wanted to leave this place, couldn’t. And, to his bad luck, he realized too late that this mission far surpassed any other he had ever undertaken.

Not only had it involved the mysterious church that oversaw outbreaks of dark entities, but he was also leading a raid against a dark entity of a ...

It is known that the humanity of the future survives and evolves thanks to the contributions of the humans of the past—a fact that is completely true.

And in this case, everyone knows how to face evil thanks to a special order of holy knights who confronted darkness head-on and won.

That’s why The Healing Church, with its wise demeanor, knew certain t...

Alan, who was mid-flight, responded: “Too late, I’ll be fine, and if not, the others will know what to do.”

“Zz… Understood.”

Riya, who had come to Alan’s side when she learned he was leaving the base, looked at him and asked, “Are you worried?”

Chapter 79 - Chaos in the Containment Zones

The death scene at dusk had a great impact on many of the survivors, none of whom, after all, were soldiers or had military training.

All the refugees had been hiding from the infected; many were even terrified at the thought of approaching them, but they had to face them, and those were the orders in this place.

“Do not be afraid, we have the advantage as long as we kill these undead one every t...

Chapter 78 - Questions Everyone Asks

The question Alan kept asking himself was who the wise guy was using a drone to lure the infected toward the base, hoping to trigger an attack.

It was possible that whoever orchestrated this event had one clear goal: to kill everyone in order to seize the resources at the base.

In recent days, people had changed a lot. Most of them now wouldn’t hesitate to kill a good man in exchange for a hot meal.

Not knowing anything more about her brother, she never stopped searching for him. But she couldn’t devote all her time and attention to a single s...

As planned, parts of the states near Texas, along with many other regions of the country, were bombed with napalm. The streets went up in flames, and hundreds of thousands of walkers were turned to ash.

But this couldn’t stop the infected, and everyone in Texas knew that. That’s why it was strictly forbidden to bomb the state unless it was absolutely necessary.

Unless there were millions of infect...

Everyone entered the room, looking around with distrust. As they knew, trusting is good, but not trusting is better. Gregory did not immediately start talking about what his people needed as soon as everyone entered the room; instead, he pointed to the decorations on the walls, especially a painting.

While speaking about his love for the painting, he observed Maggie’s changing exp...

After a series of apologies, it was agreed that this whole matter had come to an end. Although some people in Jason’s group were still upset, since their leader had said the issue was closed, no one else decided to pursue it further.

When things calmed down and everyone lowered their weapons, Carson, who had been worried about something beyond just their safety, broke the silence. They ha...

In the front seat of the black SUV, the young man in an old cotton coat turned his head and asked anxiously, “Boss, should we rush in now?”

The man, whose years of fighting showed in his fierce aura and an old scar at the corner of his right eye, smiled and shook his head. “No rush. With their firepower and level of experience, we won’t kill them before the military arrives. Besides, ...

After hanging up the phone, Jack knew that now, having one of the killers in custody, it would be easier to catch the second.
