Boom!
A dull explosion sounded from within the gigantic tower ahead. The lower half near its base, once smooth-surfaced, suddenly bulged with one massive lump after another, like tumors, making everyone's scalp tingle.
The next instant, all those bulges exploded with a thunderous roar, spewing flames, shockwaves, and chunks of flesh!
Every swollen lump had been caused by the blast wave of one or even several bombs!
The outer hide of the giant tower had originally been extraordinarily tough, capable of withstanding even missile strikes, but it proved incredibly fragile against destruction from within!
The rows of gaping, bloody mouths atop the giant tower all let out agonized wails, sounding like the howls of wounded beasts.
Most of the more than three thousand bomb-equipped zombies had been absorbed from one side and had not yet been converted throughout the tower's entire body. As a result, that side of the giant tower had suffered the heaviest damage.
More than half of the giant tower's root-like base, dozens of meters thick, had been blown apart, leaving behind an enormous breach. Blackish-brown filthy blood poured out like a waterfall, its stench nearly flooding the entire central district of New York.
The wounds were charred black and filled with shattered scraps of flesh. Many human bodies that had not been fully absorbed could even be seen, blown directly out by the explosions.
At the sight, the Salvation Army soldiers and the Symbiote zombies all broke into excited smiles.
They had succeeded!
The legion commander and the others exchanged glances and let out long breaths. They had never expected that the giant tower, which even the Mother of All Bombs dropped by strategic bombers had failed to damage, would be destroyed so easily.
Just as the old saying went, the strongest fortress was often breached
