Chapter 675 Attack From Within
The Magistri's voice, laced with excitement and a hint of menace, echoed through the room as he hyped up the next segment. "This next segment of the show, ladies and gentlemen, is going to be thrilling," he proclaimed with the confidence of a showman well-versed in captivating his audience.
As the large wheel stood center stage, Lenny's gaze was drawn to the various segments, each marked with different, ominous symbols and inscriptions. His eyes narrowed as he tried to decipher the meaning behind them. The segments seemed to represent a range of potential fates, each one more foreboding than the last. His mind raced, trying to predict the implications of each symbol, the possible outcomes that awaited him and Agent 'X'.
"What in the hell is that?" Lenny muttered under his breath, his frown deepening. The wheel was not just a game prop; it was a harbinger of what was yet to come, a roulette of peril and uncertainty.
Agent 'X', despite his recent ordeal and evident pain, also fixed his gaze on the wheel. The same question ran through his mind as he scrutinized the segments, trying to glean some insight into their meaning.
The two rivals, though often at odds, shared a moment of mutual apprehension and curiosity. Whatever lay ahead, it was clear that it would be a test of their endurance, wit, and perhaps even their sanity.
The audience, sensing the tension on stage, watched with a mix of eagerness and anxiety. The wheel, with its mysterious and foreboding symbols, promised a spectacle that was both thrilling and terrifying. The anticipation in the room was palpable, a collective sense of being on the precipice of something momentous and possibly catastrophic.
As the Magistri prepared to elaborate on the rules and mechanics of "SPIN THE WHEEL," the atmosphere was charged with a nervous energy.
Lenny, Agent 'X', and everyone present knew that the game was about to take another twist, one that would push the contestants to their limits and keep the audience on the edge of their seats.
The question on everyone's mind was not just what the wheel would dictate, but how Lenny and Agent 'X' would face the challenges it presented. The game was evolving, and with it, the stakes were rising ever higher.

Meanwhile....
In Glenn's territory, a place that had seemed like a sanctuary amidst the chaos and danger of the outside world, a sudden and terrifying event shattered the illusion of safety.
It started innocuously enough with an ambulance crashing into a wall. The sound of the impact drew concerned citizens, good Samaritans ready to lend aid to those they presumed were victims of an unfortunate accident.
As people gathered around the wreck, the doors of the ambulance burst open, but it wasn't injured passengers that emerged—it was the undead.
These creatures, once human but now driven by a monstrous hunger, leaped out with terrifying agility. Before anyone could react, the first of the undead had sunk its teeth into the neck of an unsuspecting bystander. Blood spurted out as the victim's screams pierced the air, a harrowing sound that marked the beginning of a nightmare.
Another undead creature emerged, grabbing a person with a vice-like grip and biting down with lethal intent. The horror unfolded rapidly, each attack brutal and efficient.
As the initial victims fell, their bodies began to convulse and change, rising again to join the ranks of their attackers. It was a gruesome transformation, a horrifying sight that sent waves of panic through the crowd.
The infection spread like wildfire. The civilians, caught off guard and ill-prepared for such an assault, found themselves overwhelmed. The undead moved with a singular purpose, their numbers swelling with each fallen victim. What had started as a small, contained incident quickly escalated into a full-blown outbreak.
Within a few hours, the territory that had once been a place of refuge was now a scene of carnage and despair. The streets, once filled with the sounds of everyday life, now echoed with the groans of the undead and the screams of the living. The spread of the infection was relentless, its speed and ferocity catching everyone off guard.
As the reality of the situation set in, the inhabitants of Glenn's territory realized they were under attack. But understanding the true nature of their assailants and the danger they posed came too late for many.
The undead, with their insatiable hunger and near-immortal resilience, were a foe unlike any they had faced before.
The crystal ball had been their hope, a shield against the dangers lurking beyond Glenn's territory. However, with the sudden outbreak of the undead within their safe haven, the residents were now facing a threat from within, a danger just as deadly as anything the outside world could conjure.
Father Black, the leader who had guided them through so many challenges, received the news of the attack with a heavy heart. Despite the crystal ball's protection, they were not immune to internal threats, and this realization hit him with the force of a physical blow. The foreboding feeling that had been lingering at the back of his mind now surged to the forefront, a dark premonition of the struggle to come.
Without hesitation, Father Black sprang into action. His orders were swift and decisive, aimed at containing the outbreak before it could spread any further. He knew that every second counted, that the difference between containment and catastrophe could be measured in moments.
Turning to Insect-B, Father Black issued his command. "Insect-B, we need your insects to help contain this situation immediately," he said, his voice steady despite the urgency of the situation. "Deploy them to isolate the infected, to protect the uninfected, and to provide support to our people."
Insect-B, understanding the gravity of the situation, wasted no time. She communicated with her vast network of insects, creatures of various sizes and abilities that had been her allies and tools for many years. At her command, they sprang into action, swarming out to confront the undead threat.
The insects, under Insect-B's control, were a formidable force. Some of them formed barriers, using their bodies to block off areas and contain the spread of the infection. Others attacked the undead directly, their mandibles and stingers a barrage against the relentless foes. And still, others provided support to the terrified and confused civilians, guiding them to safety and away from the chaos.
The territory, which had only moments ago been a place of relative peace, was now a battleground. The sounds of combat filled the air, the buzzing of insects, the groans of the undead, and the cries of the living all merging into a cacophony of survival.
Father Black coordinated the efforts, his mind racing as he tried to stay one step ahead of the unfolding disaster. He dispatched other members of the community to key locations, setting up makeshift barricades, tending to the injured, and providing support wherever it was needed.
As the battle raged, the crystal ball continued to glow above them, a reminder of the sanctuary they had sought to create. But within its confines, a war was being fought, a struggle for survival against an enemy that was relentless and merciless.
