POV: PHINA

Phina felt the cold, and she immediately knew something was wrong.

It wasn't just the ambient chill of an unheated concrete corridor. It was a sharp, biting frost that seeped straight through the triple-glazed thermopane glass of Sector A, turning my breath into thick, heavy plumes of white vapor inside the command hub.

I rushed to the master environmental terminal, my heart hammering against my ribs.

On the digital display, the exterior ambient temperature sen

  • REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY   Chapter 83: What They Want

    POV: PHINAI thought they wanted my food. I was wrong.The cold static of the radio terminal lingered in the staging area like a threat, the words of the Vanguard tactical transmission repeating in my head over and over again.(Find the secondary terminal before Vanguard Command arrives.)(We know Phina Hastings is holding the central key.)I stood beside Alex, my hands pressed against the cold metal edge of the examination table. The realization hit me like a physical blow. The Apex Vanguard hadn't launched an explosive breach through my eastern wall to plunder my grain silos or seize my medical bays. They hadn't lost half a strike team for diesel fuel.They were hunting for something far more specific: a legacy built long before the sky turned white and the oceans froze solid."The Hastings vault," I whispered, my voice barely audible over the hum of the auxiliary generator. "They aren't looking for survivor rations, Alex. They're looking for my grandfather's lost records."Alex st

  • REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY   Chapter 82: They Know Her

    POV: ALEXThe enemy doesn’t just know Phina has supplies, they know exactly who she is.The staging area in Sector B was bathed in harsh overhead LED floodlights, casting long, sharp shadows across the concrete floor where the equipment salvaged from the dead Vanguard raiders had been laid out. I stood over the stainless steel examination table, wearing thick rubber gloves, systematically analyzing every scrap of gear.I called in Sergeant Vance and the two surviving perimeter guards who had engaged the strike team at the breach."Walk me through their movements again," I said, my voice steady, clinical, and methodical as I held up a recovered tactical radio unit. "Don't skip a single detail.""They didn't move like scavengers or a gang of desperate refugees, Dr. Hart," Vance replied, his shoulder tightly bandaged as he leaned against the table. "They advanced in a classic two-man bounding fire team formation. They called out target sectors using military brevity codes, and when the

  • REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY   Chapter 81: The Fortress Is Under Attack

    POV: PHINASmoke was rising from my home, and I knew immediately that whoever attacked Highland Crest Manor came prepared.The BearCat tore through the valley pass, its heavy tires screaming against the ice as Marcus slammed on the brakes right outside Gate One. The massive exterior reinforced-steel wall, which I had designed to withstand artillery fire, was charred black along the lower east seam. Pungent cordite hung thick in the freezing air, mixing with billowed black smoke pouring from the guard barracks.We scrambled out of the transport before it had even fully stopped, our rifles raised.Inside the courtyard, chaos was mercifully under control, but the signs of a brutal, coordinated assault were everywhere. Guards were applying compression bandages to wounded survivors near the transport bay, while Edwin stood calmly at the central security console, directing the orderly evacuation of vulnerable residents and children down into the secure subterranean bunker.My blood ran cold

  • REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY   Chapter 80: Back To Back

    POV: ALEXWhen the shelter was attacked at dawn, I realized I trusted Phina enough to fight without looking behind me.The blizzard had broken by 05:30 hours, leaving behind an eerie, razor-sharp silence under a pale, bruised morning sky. The storm’s howling roar had ceased, replaced by the faint, rhythmic crunch of heavy combat boots circling the snowy perimeter above our concrete cellar.I snapped awake instantly, my hand flying to my sidearm. Beside me, Phina was already on her feet, her dark eyes sharp, focused, and entirely devoid of sleep."Four contacts on the upper hatch," Marcus whispered, creeping down the concrete stairs with his assault rifle raised. "Two more flanking the rear ventilation shaft. It's the Apex Vanguard squad that tracked us from the warehouse.""We don't let them pin us in a subterranean trap," I ordered softly, gesturing to the Scouting Squad . "James, pull the medics to the inner alcove. Marcus, lock down the central stairwell. Phina, you and I hold the

  • REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY   Chapter 79: Trapped In The Whiteout

    POV: PHINAThe storm arrived so suddenly that even Alex lost sight of the road.We didn't even have time to pursue the fresh boot prints in the clearing before the sky turned from a bruised, heavy gray to pitch black. A sudden, violent arctic squall descended off the North Ridge like a wall of solid ice, bringing sixty-mile-per-hour winds that whipped the snow into a suffocating white fury."Get back in the transport! Now!" Alex shouted, his voice nearly swallowed by the howling roar of the gale.We scrambled into the BearCat, Marcus slamming the heavy steel hatch shut just as a massive gust slammed into the side of the vehicle, rocking thirty thousand pounds of armored steel on its axles. Marcus shifted into low gear, the heavy diesel engine roaring as he attempted to navigate back down the steep logging trail.Within three minutes, visibility dropped to absolute zero.The headlights reflected uselessly off a blinding, swirling sheet of white. The windshield wipers froze solid mid-st

  • REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY   Chapter 78: The Mission North

    POV: ALEXThe only remaining supply route to the northern settlements passed through territory controlled by an armed faction, and there was no way around it.If we wanted to maintain our newly established trade connection with Haven Ridge and reach the isolated agricultural communities in the upper valley, we had to clear the North Pass. The primary highway had been rendered impassable by a massive, thirty-car pileup buried under six feet of hard-packed ice. That left a single, winding mountain road, a narrow asphalt vein cutting directly through the outer perimeter controlled by the Apex Vanguard.I stood at the tactical map in Sector A, adjusting my sidearm holster as I briefed Marcus and the Scouting Squad."We keep the footprint light," I laid out, pointing to the winding blue line on the glass screen. "One armored transport. We aren't going out there to start a war with the Vanguard. We're gathering real-time telemetry on their guard rotations, identifying their road checkpoints
