LOGINThe moment we witness the last surviving child in the safehouse getting pinned to the wall by a zombie before having his guts torn out, all the men in the team break down mentally. "Captain, didn't you claim that Selene kept rambling nonsense because she had gone crazy out of fright toward the zombies? Isn't that why you reassured us to keep watch while you and Madeline watched the sunrise on the summit? "Why is it that my newborn has already gotten devoured by a zombie as soon as I return to the safehouse?" Quinton Morwood goes deathly pale at the accusation. My heart feels as though it's gotten torn into pieces as I stare at the tragedy. In my previous life, when the zombies attacked the safehouse, Quinton, who was the captain of the defence team, had taken the entire team with him just so he could watch the sunrise with Madeline Moore at the mountain summit. I did everything I could to summon everyone back to the base. That was how everyone's lives were spared from the zombie attack. But Madeline was pissed that she did't get to watch the sunrise, so she left the safezone angrily on her own. That was how she got grabbed by a zombie and eaten by a horde. By the time Quinton and his squad killed the entire horde, he just hugged Madeline's femur to his chest without saying a single word. On the day I gave birth to my baby, Quinton hacked my limbs off before throwing me into the roaming hordes of zombies. I could only watch as the zombies tore my flesh off my bones before Quinton saved me again by healing me. The cycle kept going on and on until I witnessed the last piece of flesh being torn off my body. "You're the one who killed Madeline, you wretched woman! Since you like competing with her that much, I'll make sure you'll die a worse death than hers!" When I open my eyes again, I've returned to the day the zombies are attacking the safezone.

The next second, a zombie slammed into Madeline and pinned her to the ground. She struggled wildly, but there was no escaping.Another zombie opened its mouth and bit down hard on her leg. A clear, sickening crack of bone breaking echoed through the battlefield."Save me… I'm sorry… Please… It hurts so much…"Her screams rang out, yet no one moved. One by one, more zombies swarmed in and tore into her body with brutal force.Madeline's final gaze was fixed on the sky. Her eyes were filled with sheer despair.When the horde finally dispersed with low, satisfied growls, all that was left on the ground was a blurry pool of flesh and blood.In the heavy silence, the old squad member who had once led the mockery dropped to his knees in front of me. His trembling hands pressed into the dirt as he slammed his forehead down hard."Ms. Lockhart, we wer
"Right! The fence…"However, when the squad rushed toward the control room, they ran straight into a crushing truth."Report—the power for the high-voltage fence… has all been rerouted to the fireworks system on the hilltop!"They came stumbling back. Their faces were completely hollow."What?"Quinton coughed up a mouthful of blood. His eyes were filled with despair and regret.The old squad member who had once defended him finally broke down. He dropped to his knees and screamed, "We did this to ourselves! We threw away our only chance of survival for a woman's birthday!"Hiding behind the rock, I watched it all unfold. My heart felt like it was being cut apart. In the face of a disaster like this, humans were nothing but small, pathetic lives.Still, no matter how small, we couldn't bow to fate.The moment a zombie lunged at Julian, I rushed out without hesitation. I used my injured body to block the fatal strike head-on."Ms. Lockhart, why did you step out?" he asked, loo
Quinton walked up to me step by step. His eyes were cold and cruel. "You witch!"He let out a low, furious growl, then lifted his foot and stomped on my abdomen. As if that wasn't enough, he grabbed my hair and slapped me a few times across the face.My cheek swelled instantly. A sharp ringing filled my ears."Why did you do that?" he roared, not halting his actions. "If it weren't for you, Mom wouldn't have died!"Looking at his hypocritical face, I couldn't help but let out a low laugh. I was laughing at myself, at how blind I had been back then to ever fall for a man as cowardly and avoidant as him.My laughter only pushed Quinton further over the edge. He grabbed my injured hand and dug his fingers straight into the severed finger wound. Blood burst out instantly.The pain shot through me like lightning. My face went ghostly pale, with cold sweat drenching it.By the time I was on the verge of passing out, he flung me to the ground like trash and looked down at me from above
"You still have the nerve to ask about Mom?" I said, looking straight into Quinton's eyes. "She's dead! You killed her with your own damn rocket launcher!"My voice started shaking uncontrollably. In my mind, I still saw the moment Audrey's body was blown apart."Her body is down at the bottom of the cliff, being eaten by vultures! You did this, Quinton! You killed her!" I roared. Tears spilled down in heavy drops.Quinton's knees gave out. He dropped straight down onto the ground. "No way… It wasn't me. How could it be me?"A heavy, suffocating grief swallowed the whole room. It pressed on everyone's chest, making it hard to breathe. Then, from the side where she had been silently standing, Madeline finally stepped forward.Her voice carried just the right amount of confusion as she asked, "But why did the zombie outbreak happen right when it was my birthday?"She frowned slightly, as if she genuinely couldn't understand it. "And why is it that there isn't a single security guar
