My 90-Day Survival Manual: I Prepared for Doomsday, Not For Chapter 26: The Outer Tunnel Defense
POV: Alessia Rowan"They are inside the primary access zone," I said, my fingers flying over the glass surface of the central command console as the live radar feeds flickered with green status dots. "Three armored transport vehicles and two personnel vans. Total headcount is thirty-two armed operatives."Corbin stood right beside me, resting his hands on the edge of the terminal desk as he watched the grid lines update in real time. The blue markers representing our remote transit traps were lighting up one by one down the length of the abandoned railway."They're moving too fast," Corbin noted, his eyes narrowing as he tracked their speed. "Briggs didn't train these men for caution. He told them this bunker was an empty civilian storage cellar. They think they're walking into an easy raid.""They're about to find out how wrong he was," I replied, my voice calm, steady, and completely focused.I reached out and tapped the primary control icon labeled ZONE 2 HYDRAULIC BARRIER."Chief

POV: Alessia Rowan"Easy. Just drink slowly. You passed out right after we got back from the transit tunnels."Corbin’s voice was the first thing that reached me.I opened my eyes slowly, blinking against the bright, clean white lights of the Silo Haven medical bay. I was lying on a comfortable examination bed with a soft pillow beneath my head. Corbin sat on a metal stool right beside the bed, holding a glass of cold water with both hands.I pushed myself up into a sitting position, rubbing my temples where a dull, throbbing ache lingered behind my eyes."How long was I out?" I asked, my voice raspy and dry."About two hours," Corbin said gently, handing me the glass of water. "Chief Jennings and the engineering crew finished sealing the tunnel barricades and pulled back inside before dark. But when we brought you back from the lower rail junction, your skin was burning hot, and you collapsed the second we stepped off the cart."I took the glass from his hands, sipping the cool water

POV: Alessia Rowan"We need every single rail cart loaded with seismic charges and hydraulic support beams before sunset, Chief," I said, my voice echoing off the damp stone walls of the abandoned transit tunnel beneath the valley.Chief Jennings wiped grease from his forehead with the back of his hand, leaning against a wooden crate filled with seismic sensors and remote detonator packs. He looked down the dark, curving line of the old underground railway, his breath pluming in the cool air as he nodded firmly."You heard the boss!" Jennings called out to the half-dozen engineers working behind him near the junction tracks. "Stop chit-chatting and get those hydraulic support braces bolted into the lower tunnel pillars! If an army of armored trucks tries to roll down this line, I want these walls to swallow them whole!"Leo, the young electrical technician, hurried over carrying a spool of insulated wire and a digital control pad. "Ms. Rowan, the seismic sensors are wired into the mai

POV: Alessia Rowan"Did you find it?"I stood directly beside the tech lab workbench, my eyes locked on Corbin as he carefully extracted a small, black micro-SD card from the remains of the carbon-fiber quadcopter drone we had shot down from the sky an hour ago.The burned chassis of the aircraft lay across a stainless-steel tray, giving off a faint smell of melted plastic and burnt circuits. Corbin wiped soot from his fingers with a paper towel, holding the tiny data chip up to the overhead laboratory light to inspect its gold contact pins."The internal memory core survived the crash impact," Corbin said, his voice entirely steady as he walked over to the main terminal desk and slotted the memory chip into an adapter drive. "Briggs didn't use a live cloud transmitter for this sweep. He wanted a local physical backup so his radio signals wouldn't trigger our perimeter scanners.""Which means whatever is on that chip is something he didn't want anyone else at regional command to inter

POV: Alessia Rowan"Alessia, please! Do something! Look at them! They're coming right down the road!"Nessa's voice shrieked through the outer intercom speaker box mounted on the perimeter fence post, high, ragged, and trembling with total, unadulterated panic.I stood inside the secure glass observation booth next to the main gate, my eyes fixed on the live security monitors.Outside the three-thousand-volt electric wire, the crowd of survivors who had followed Nessa and Taryn began to scream in raw terror. As the front edge of the massive infected herd rounded the corner of the northern highway, the crowd broke apart like shattered glass. People tripped over backpacks, dropped their supply bags, and scrambled blindly into the tall grass and ditches, running for their lives as the fast-moving horde spilled down the asphalt toward the clearing."They're going to kill us! They're going to eat us!" an older woman in the crowd sobbed, her voice cutting off abruptly as she tripped over a

POV: Alessia Rowan"Open this gate right now, Alessia!" Nessa screamed, her voice cracking over the external speaker box mounted on the perimeter fence post. "You have no right to lock us out! We are your family!"I stood inside the secure glass observation booth next to the main gate, my fingers resting on the small control desk. Beside me, Corbin watched the live video monitors displaying the thirty desperate people crowding against our three-thousand-volt electric wire.I reached out and clicked the toggle switch for the outer intercom."Family, Nessa?" I asked calmly through the speaker, my voice carrying clearly over the static. "Is that what you call the people whose signatures you forged to steal my mother's property deeds?"Nessa flinched, her hands gripping the wire post tighter as her face turned pale. "That... that was Gideon's idea! He forced me to sign those papers! You know how he is, Alessia! Please, I'm your sister! Open the gate before the monsters in the woods find u
