Weapon System in Zombie Apocalypse-Chapter 51: Unknown Mass Target

Standing at over twenty feet tall, the monstrosity was a horrifying fusion of muscle, bone, and living armor. Its torso was heavily mutated, with exposed tendons and fleshy tubes pulsing with some unknown energy.

One arm had been entirely warped into a biological shield, a massive, grotesque slab of hardened chitin and layered tissue, capable of withstanding missile impacts without so much as a dent.

Its other arm, elongated and razor-sharp, twitched with a terrifying amount of muscular density, likely capable of slicing through armored vehicles with ease.

Its head was barely recognizable as human, twisted into an elongated, fang-filled maw, devoid of eyes—but it could sense them.

Then it did something they didn't expect.

It turned its head toward the MOA defensive line.

It was aware.

Thomas narrowed his eyes.

"This isn't just a zombie," he muttered. "This is something else."

"Did it just block our missiles? Can you zoom in to that shield and see if we even damaged it?"

The drone cameras zoomed in, focusing on the grotesque biological shield attached to the entity's mutated arm. The surface of the chitinous slab was blackened from the missile impact, but intact.

Not a single crack.

Not a single break in its structure.

The entire artillery barrage had been nullified.

"The shield absorbed all the kinetic energy from the explosion. It didn't even deflect it—it just ate the force."

Thomas's jaw clenched.

"That thing isn't just strong… It's intelligent enough to defend itself at the right moment."

Then—it moved.

With an unnatural, bone-scraping sound, the behemoth raised its massive shield—and then slammed it into the ground.

BOOM!

The sheer impact of the shield hitting the pavement sent a shockwave outward, cracking the roads and sending debris flying in every direction.

Then, the behemoth lunged forward.

It charged, pressing the entire surface of the shield against the road, plowing through everything in its path like an unstoppable battering ram.

Screeching metal. Collapsing concrete. Exploding infrastructure.

The MRT railway above the highway crumbled as the creature's unstoppable momentum tore through the supporting structures like they were made of paper. Massive steel beams snapped, and entire sections of the railway came crashing down, burying thousands of zombies under tons of rubble.

But the behemoth didn't stop.

It kept accelerating, its massive bulk flattening the horde, turning zombies into piles of shattered bones and pulverized flesh. Its sheer size crushed vehicles, mangled roadblocks, and demolished anything that stood in its way.

From the command center, Thomas and his officers watched in horror.

"This thing isn't just some mindless brute!" Marcus shouted. "It's using its shield to turn itself into a living bulldozer!"

"With its current speed, it'll get here in ten minutes," Adrian informed.

"Then throw everything at it! Make it stop charging!" Thomas barked, his fists clenched.

The tactical display in the MOA Command Center flashed red, highlighting the behemoth's approach vector. It was gaining speed, tearing through everything in its path like a juggernaut of destruction.

The MRT was gone, collapsed into a sea of steel and concrete, leaving nothing but a trail of obliteration in its wake. The horde of zombies that had once clogged the streets was now just a pulped mass of crushed bodies.

And it was heading straight for them.

Marcus turned sharply to his officers, who were relaying orders to the ground forces. "I want Paladins and the MLRS firing everything they have! We need to slow that thing down now!"

At the rear artillery positions, the M109A7 Paladin self-propelled howitzers adjusted their targeting systems, focusing all available batteries on the behemoth's projected path.

"All crews, fire at will!"

KA-THUNK!

BOOOOOM!

The first 155mm high-explosive shell detonated directly in the behemoth's path, sending an explosion of shrapnel, debris, and fire roaring across the ruined highway.

More shells followed.

BOOOOOM! BOOOOOM! BOOOOOM!

Each impact shattered the asphalt, sending shockwaves across the battlefield. Chunks of debris and twisted steel were flung into the air.

But the behemoth kept moving.

Its shield absorbed most of the concussive force, leaving it largely unharmed. Every impact only staggered it slightly, its legs pushing through the chaos with terrifying determination.

Further back, the MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System) repositioned, their launch tubes locking onto the charging monstrosity.

"Target confirmed—launching rockets!"

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

A six-missile salvo streaked through the sky, each rocket carrying a 200-pound warhead.

BOOOOOOM!

The explosions engulfed the behemoth in fire, sending thick plumes of smoke and dust into the air.

For a brief moment, visibility was completely obscured.

Everyone in the command center held their breath.

Had it stopped?

The smoke and dust lingered in the air, masking the battlefield. The command center's tactical feed struggled to get a clear read through the infrared haze.

For a brief moment, silence reigned.

Then—

A deafening crack.

Through the thick clouds, a massive object tumbled forward—the behemoth's shield.

It was shattered, massive chunks of chitinous armor splintered across the battlefield, embedded into the streets and the ruins of crushed vehicles.

The unstoppable brute had finally been stopped.

The creature stood motionless, its grotesque form swaying slightly, as if the sudden loss of its shield had left it stunned.

A deep guttural howl ripped from its twisted maw, echoing across the ruins of the city. Its massive arms twitched, the pulsing flesh on its body convulsing violently, struggling to regenerate what had been lost.

But it wasn't regenerating fast enough.

Thomas's hands clenched into tight fists as he saw the monster finally falter.

"NOW! HIT IT WITH EVERYTHING!" he barked.

Marcus immediately relayed the order to all remaining artillery and air support.

"All units—concentrate fire! Target is stunned! Fire at will!"

BOOOOOOM!

A fresh wave of 155mm Paladin howitzer shells detonated directly onto the behemoth, sending massive fountains of black ichor and mutated flesh into the air. The force of the blasts ripped through its torso, exposing layers of twitching muscle and bone underneath.

"Confirmed damage!" an officer called out.

But they weren't done.

"MLRS, fire another volley!"

"Roger! Rockets away!"

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The MLRS rockets launched in unison, streaking through the night sky before slamming into the weakened monster.

BOOOOOOOM!

Each impact sent seismic tremors across the battlefield, gouging deep craters into the streets, tearing apart the behemoth's legs and exposing its raw, pulsating insides.

Another salvo did the job as it exploded at the pulsating insides. Seconds later, it dropped to the ground.

[Congratulations! You have killed Titan!]
