"Nobody's out here..."

The first worker to leap down from the truck spun in a slow circle on the empty asphalt, blinking against the gray light. "Who got us out?"

"Hey, this is a gas station!" another voice shouted. "There's a shop!"

"The rain is still falling. It's just the roof keeping it off us."

"Look, there are water dispensers inside! Hurry!"

I wasn't there to see it, but I could picture it perfectly. A crowd of exhausted people tumbling out of that metal oven, stumbling over each oth

  • Apocalypse Rebirth: Hoarding Millions, Betrayers Cry    ONLY HE DOESN'T HAVE ONE

    Ivy: The external city sirens were wailing in a chaotic, multi-part harmony, piercing the cold night air just as they had in my devastating previous life.Inside the quiet safety of my bedroom, a violent, painfully familiar surge of raw energy tore mercilessly through my bloodstream.My heart hammered wildly against my ribs as my subjective perception of time suddenly slowed to an absolute crawl.I looked across the room at the wooden window frame, then focused intently on the heavy bedroom door five meters away.Flash.I was suddenly standing directly against the wooden door panel.I hadn't physically run or stepped across the floor—I had simply bridged the spatial distance in less than a fraction of a second.[Host has successfully re-awakened: Speed Element Superpower.][System Title Triggered: "Hardworking Awakener."][System Reward Issued: One (1) Second Superpower Selection Card!]A Second Superpower Card already unlocked?In my past, tragic life, I hadn't managed to unlock this

  • Apocalypse Rebirth: Hoarding Millions, Betrayers Cry    DIRECTOR

    "Director Llyod? Did you ask for the technical trace on that incoming private routing?"Lewis, the lead technical analyst for the Federal Security Bureau, stood awkwardly in the open doorway of the director's private office, holding a heavy tactical tablet.Warren Llyod sat heavily behind his massive mahogany desk, his graying head resting deeply in his calloused hands.He looked up slowly, his eyes bloodshot and burning from ninety-six consecutive hours without sleep."Did your team finally pin down the geographic origin of that transmission, Lewis?""No, sir," Lewis admitted, shifting uncomfortably under the intense scrutiny."The call completely bypassed every single signal tower in the region. It didn't hit a military satellite either; it just... magically manifested on our internal switchboard for four minutes and then vanished into thin air. Is this bizarre communication somehow related to the family matter regarding your granddaughter that you mentioned earlier?""It's nothing

  • Apocalypse Rebirth: Hoarding Millions, Betrayers Cry    THE ACID RAIN… STOPPED

    Ian reached casually into the empty air beside him in the dim hallway.Without emitting the slightest sound, a sleek, matte-black compact handgun materialized directly in his open palm.It was lightweight, beautifully custom-engraved in geometric patterns along the metal slide, and perfectly proportioned for a woman's grip."This is for you, Miss Collins."I stared intently at the heavy lethal weapon resting steadily in his small hands, evaluating its condition.Memories of my past, brutal life flashed vividly behind my eyes—back then, Ian had done the exact same thing during our darkest hours, constantly pulling rare military-grade weapons, pristine medical kits, and fresh, unblemished fruit out of thin air to hand to me like humble trinkets."Where on earth did this come from?"I played along perfectly, widening my eyes in feigned astonishment."Are you secretly performing magic tricks for me?"Ian’s pale face broke into a bright, triumphant grin that made him look his actual age fo

    Good.That was my exact strategic plan all along, and having Daniel initiate the proposal saved me from having to force the issue prematurely.The moment the rain finally stopped, the massive volume of accumulated floodwaters would rapidly drain into the overburdened storm sewers, leaving a very brief, critical window of opportunity before the newly awakened infected fully saturated every single block.Staying in a densely populated residential district like this one was a guaranteed death sentence within seventy-two hours."We can head straight out to my grandmother’s old secluded property up in the northern hills," I suggested aloud, deliberately steering the family away from doomed municipal shelters."It's naturally isolated, boasts a very low population density, and is exceptionally easy to fortify against both human and inhuman threats.""Your father’s old military friend owns a massive commercial resort compound on the western outskirts of the metro area," Vera added softly, re

  • Apocalypse Rebirth: Hoarding Millions, Betrayers Cry    WHY IS HE HERE?

    “Are you seriously suggesting we use Jude Collins as a bridge to Ian Carter?”Clara Brooks leaned against the polished mahogany doorframe of the upper-floor corridor, her fingers lightly tracing the ornate trim while her eyes remained fixed on the dismal gray expanse outside.The logic underpinning the proposal was fundamentally sound, resting on cold, calculated opportunism rather than any genuine desire to help others.If Jude managed to establish initial contact with Ian and the mysterious group protecting him, it would keep their own hands entirely clean of early political entanglements.Furthermore, this indirect maneuver would position Ethan and Clara to step in at the precise moment of maximum leverage, seizing control of resources before anyone else realized the true value of the changing geopolitical landscape.“Besides,” Ethan Hayes said, staring intently through the reinforced, multi-layered glass of the upper-floor window, “the streets below are about to turn into absolut

    "What are they thinking, wandering around in the rain like this?" the driver said through the truck's open window. His name was Lewis. "Do they have a death wish?" I could hear him clearly now. He switched on the hazard lights, hoping the three of us would notice. The orange lights blinked through the rain like a signal flare. The crew had come specifically to inspect the final cleanup in this area, just in case any survivors had been missed. "They don't look like survivors," said the captain next to him. His name was Elijah Young, and he watched us for a long moment. We were well-equipped, and two of us walked with a spring in our step. We didn't look distressed in the slightest. Reid, the tall guy, started waving at the truck, hopping up and down to get their attention. Inside his raincoat, he gave them a big thumbs-up. "All along this road, the survivors have already been evacuated," he said into the headset, grinning. "I'm so grateful to the rescue team." "Turn off the hazar
