The workers moved the last boxes of food and medicine into the basement while the temperature continued falling.

I stood in the command room watching the digital display change from minus six to minus eight, then minus nine. It wasn't slowing down.

Mike had changed into dry clothes, but exhaustion still showed on his face. He stood beside the inventory sheets, checking each delivery against the list while Lior monitored the security cameras.

“Food is accounted for,” Mike said. “Medici

  • REBORN THIRTY DAYS BEFORE THE ICE AGE APOCALYPSE    33: when The Heat Faltered

    RAYNAThe first warning came before sunrise. I was still in bed when the alarm from the command room sounded through the villa. It was not the usual security alert. This one was longer, sharper, and followed by the announcement that made my stomach tighten.“Thermal system warning….backup power has been activated.”I pushed the blankets aside and reached for my robe. Lior stirred beside me, already waking. “What happened?” he asked.“I don't know yet.”We hurried to the command room, the security supervisor was standing in front of the control panels, studying the readings. Several sections of the thermal grid were marked in yellow, while the main power supply showed that the system had switched to its backup source.“Explain,” I demanded.“The storm buried most of the solar panels overnight,” he replied. “The batteries were already carrying a heavy load, and the charge dropped below the required level and the generator has taken over.”I looked at the external temperature reading, it

  • REBORN THIRTY DAYS BEFORE THE ICE AGE APOCALYPSE    32:A place For Everyone

    RAYNABy the time I entered the main hall the following morning, the villa was already awake. The kitchen staff were preparing breakfast, two guards were changing shifts near the entrance, and the maintenance team had gathered around a table covered with tools and repair lists. It was an ordinary scene, almost painfully ordinary considering the world outside.A few months earlier, most of these people had been strangers to one another. Now they shared meals, work, responsibilities, and the same uncertain future. We had survived the first disasters, but keeping a group of people alive through an endless winter required more than locked gates and full storerooms, it required cooperation.Leo approached with a notebook in his hand. “The department heads are waiting in the meeting room.”“Did something happen?”“No emergency. We finished the weekly reports, and there are a few things they want to discuss.”I followed him inside… Lior was already there, standing beside the large table. He

  • REBORN THIRTY DAYS BEFORE THE ICE AGE APOCALYPSE    31: The Work Of Living

    RAYNAThe morning after Lior's return, I woke to the sound of Sera laughing. For a few seconds, I remained beneath the blankets, listening. Her laughter had become one of the few sounds I never grew tired of hearing. It reminded me that despite everything the world had taken from us, my daughter was still capable of being happy.I got out of bed, pulled on my warm clothes, and followed the sound downstairs. Lior was sitting on the floor beside her, helping her arrange the little wooden animals he had made. The wooden rabbit she had given him before his journey was sitting among them."Mommy!" Sera called when she noticed me. "Look! Daddy brought my rabbit back."I smiled, glancing at Lior. "I can see that.""He kept it safe," she added proudly."I made a promise," Lior replied, lifting the rabbit and placing it in her hands. "And I intend to keep every promise I make to you."Sera hugged it against her chest before returning to her toys. I watched them for a moment, feeling something

  • REBORN THIRTY DAYS BEFORE THE ICE AGE APOCALYPSE    30: The Journey Home

    RAYNAI checked the clock for the third time in less than ten minutes. Lior had promised to contact me before beginning the return journey, but the radio remained silent. The communications supervisor stood beside me, monitoring the frequency while I studied the map spread across the table. The expedition had already travelled farther than any team from the villa since the temperature collapsed. Although they had gathered useful information, I wasn't interested in extending the journey simply to see how much farther they could go. I wanted them home.I picked up the radio and pressed the transmission button. "Lior, this is Rayna. Do you copy?"Static filled the room. I waited a few seconds before trying again. "Lior, report your position." His voice finally came through. "We're preparing to leave the junction now."I immediately straightened. "What's your assessment?""The road ahead is becoming increasingly difficult to navigate. There's a heavy accumulation of snow along the edges

  • REBORN THIRTY DAYS BEFORE THE ICE AGE APOCALYPSE    29:voices Beyond The Snow

    RAYNAI stood in the communications room with the radio pressed against my ear, listening to the faint static that had filled the room for the past several minutes. The expedition had been on the road for hours, and although Lior had checked in regularly, I couldn't completely relax. Every time the radio went silent, my attention returned to it.The last transmission had confirmed that the team was still moving along the northern route. The road was difficult, but the SUV was handling the conditions. Leo had also reported that they had passed the abandoned vehicle near the old junction without finding anyone inside.I glanced at the map spread across the table. Their current position was farther from the villa than I would have preferred, but they were still within the limits we had agreed on."Any update?" the security supervisor asked as he entered."Not yet."He looked at the radio before turning his attention to the map. "The last report was positive. They should be approaching

  • REBORN THIRTY DAYS BEFORE THE ICE AGE APOCALYPSE    28: THE ROAD INTO THE UNKNOWN

    RAYNAThe first journey began before sunrise. I stood in the underground garage, watching Lior inspect the modified SUV for the third time. The vehicle had been reinforced before the worst of the cold arrived, but weeks of freezing temperatures had taken their toll. Its tires had been replaced with heavy-duty winter ones, the engine had received additional protection, and the interior had been stocked with emergency blankets and heating equipment. Even then, I knew none of those preparations could guarantee our safety outside the villa.Lior closed the hood and turned toward me. “The engine is ready. I've checked the battery, the fuel lines, and the heating system. We also have enough fuel for the journey back, provided we don't waste it.”“Provided the road is still passable,” I reminded him.“That's why we're taking the northern route. It's longer, but the main highway is more exposed. The northern road has fewer open stretches, and the trees should offer some protection from the
