REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY Chapter 77: Trust Can Hurt
POV: PHINAPhina discovered that one of the people she trusted had been selling information about her.The iron doors of the primary holding bay clicked shut with a heavy, reverberating thud that echoed off the cold concrete walls. Standing in the center of the room, flanked by Marcus and two armed guards, was Julian, the chief logistics officer from Cedar. He wasn't a hardened mercenary or a cold-blooded spy; he was an exhausted man in his late thirties with sunken eyes, chapped lips, and trembling hands.I stood before him on the concrete floor, my arms crossed over my chest, my tactical jacket pulled tight against the draft. I didn't yell, and I didn't draw a weapon. My face was a mask of pure, freezing stone, but inside my chest, a sharp, familiar ache burned like acid.I had personally approved Cedar’s inclusion into our trade network. I had authorized the release of their winter ration packs and guaranteed their medical safety. I had extended a hand when the world was ending, an
REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY Chapter 76: The Target
POV: ALEXThe moment we returned from Haven Ridge, the atmosphere inside Sector A took on a hard, razor-sharp edge. The warning Director Vance had passed to Phina wasn't a vague rumor; it was an imminent operational threat. In a dead world, paper currency and offshore bank accounts meant nothing. But a self-sustaining mountain compound packed with years of medical supplies, geothermal energy, high-grade fuel, and automated defense grids? That was the ultimate prize in the wasteland.I immediately ordered Marcus to double the perimeter patrols, calibrate the thermal motion sensors along the North Ridge, and institute strict counter-surveillance sweeps on all incoming radio traffic. The mountain was quiet, but it was the kind of silence that usually preceded an avalanche.At the same time, I started digging into how information about Phina’s stockpiles could have leaked to the Apex Vanguard in the first place.I spent six hours in the central security hub, quietly cross-referencing trad

Chapter 75: The Second City. POV: PHINAHighland Crest Manor was no longer the only place trying to build a future.I stood beside Alex on the observation catwalk in Sector A as Scouting Squad Alpha’s armored utility truck rolled back through the airlock, caked in thick, gray ice. Marcus stepped out from the cab, carrying a sealed tactical data drive, his expression tight with a mix of exhaustion and genuine shock."Miss Phina, Dr. Hart," Marcus called out, climbing the catwalk stairs two at a time. "You need to see this. We went twelve miles beyond the valley pass, past the old industrial sector. We found something."He plugged the drive into the main command console, and the glass screen bloomed into high-resolution aerial and thermal imagery.Spread across a fortified valley basin six hours south was a massive, highly organized survivor settlement built around a former agricultural research university and its adjacent hydroelectric dam. It was called Haven Ridge.I stared at the t
REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY Chapter 74: The Man Who Came Back
POV: ALEXAlex discovered that one of the people Phina rescued was hiding a military background, and he might know more about the collapse than he admitted.The intake bay in Sector B was bathed in harsh, fluorescent light, smelling of wet wool, industrial disinfectant, and the sharp, metallic tang of melted frost. I was running a standard medical screening on the four survivors brought in by the Scouting Squad from a ruined road stop three miles down the pass.Standing against the concrete examination wall was a stocky man in his early forties named Michael Richmond. His intake sheet listed him as a former municipal transit worker, but as I adjusted his sling to treat a dislocated shoulder, I noticed things that didn't fit the profile of a city bus driver.His knuckles were heavily calloused in a pattern unique to hand-to-hand combat training, and when Marcus walked into the bay with his sidearm unholstered, Michael didn't flinch; his eyes immediately swept to Marcus’s trigger finge
REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY Chapter 73: The Regional Power Block
POV: PHINAThe interactive tactical map on the central console glowed in stark, amber hues, illuminating the dark command hub of Sector A.I leaned over the glass display, my eyes tracking the bold red perimeter lines that Alex and Edwin had mapped out using the intelligence files Harrison had just uploaded. Across the valley, the landscape was no longer just a frozen wasteland scattered with desperate refugees; it was being divided into defined territories by an organized, highly dangerous paramilitary force."The Apex Vanguard," Alex said, leaning against the edge of the console as he pulled up the coalition’s leadership file. "Harrison’s father wasn't lying about their numbers. They're composed of former corporate private military contractors, regional police units, and local gang leaders who consolidated power right after the grid went dark.""They control every major logistical artery in the lower valley," I said, my voice cold and focused as I zoomed in on three strategic nodes
REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY Chapter 72: A Deal With My Ex
POV: HARRISONI once believed Phina would give me everything for free; now she made me earn every single bottle of medicine.The battery-powered tablet screen flickered in the dark cellar, reflecting off my stiff, frostbitten face as I read her cold, transactional response over and over again. Four emergency thermal sheets. Six days of dried rations. Three bottles of basic antibiotics. That was it. In exchange, she demanded my father’s classified municipal data files, sector road maps, and real-time movement logs for the local warlord factions."She’s insulting us, Harrison!" Vera shrieked from beneath her pile of filthy coats, her cracked lips bleeding as she glared at the glowing screen. "You were her husband! She built that mountain with resources that belonged to your family's network! Demand that she bring us into the core bunker! Reject her ridiculous deal!""Reject it with what, Vera?!" I screamed back, my voice cracking into a raw, pathetic rasp as I slammed my hand against th
