Chapter six

The news report continued playing, but I barely heard the reporter's voice.

Unexplained illnesses.

Several affected communities.

Authorities assuring the public that everything was under control.

I knew those words.

In my previous life, I had heard them before the world collapsed. Back then, nobody took the reports seriously. People continued going to work, attending parties, and making plans for the future.

I had done the same.

And it had cost me everything.

  • Reborn After the apocalypse    The First Signs of Collapse

    Chapter Seven: HEALTH AUTHORITIES INVESTIGATE MYSTERIOUS ILLNESS.It had begun.And this time, I knew what it really meant.I stared at the headline on my phone, my heart beating faster as I read the short report beneath it. Several hospitals had admitted patients suffering from unexplained fevers, confusion, and unusual aggression. Authorities were urging the public to remain calm while investigations continued.Remain calm.That was what they had told us in my previous life, too.People had believed them. They had continued going to work, shopping, visiting friends, and making plans for the future. They had laughed at anyone who suggested that something terrible was coming.Then the hospitals became overcrowded.The streets became dangerous.And the world we knew disappeared.I locked my phone and stood up.Not this time.I had already died once. I had watched the people I loved betray me, and I had learned the hard way that nobody was coming to save me.If I wanted to survive, I h

    Chapter six The news report continued playing, but I barely heard the reporter's voice. Unexplained illnesses. Several affected communities. Authorities assuring the public that everything was under control. I knew those words. In my previous life, I had heard them before the world collapsed. Back then, nobody took the reports seriously. People continued going to work, attending parties, and making plans for the future. I had done the same. And it had cost me everything. I picked up my phone and searched for more information about the outbreak. Several articles appeared, but most of them contained the same message: officials were investigating a mysterious virus, and the public had been advised to remain calm. I opened one article. According to the report, some infected individuals had developed high fevers and displayed unusual aggression. My fingers tightened around the phone. It was starting. Not the full outbreak, but the first signs. I checked the countdown on my

  • Reborn After the apocalypse    The First Warning

    Chapter Five I barely slept that night.The message from the unknown number kept replaying in my mind.They're watching you now.Who was watching me?And how did they know about my preparations?I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at my phone.I called the number again.Nothing.Straight to voicemail.I tried sending a message.Who are you?No reply.I waited.Five minutes.Then ten.Nothing.I finally placed the phone beside me and rubbed my tired eyes.Maybe it was a prank.Maybe someone had noticed my unusual purchases and was trying to frighten me.But something inside me refused to believe that.The person knew too much.I couldn't afford to ignore the warning.The next morning, I drove straight to the property.The workers were already there.The outer walls were almost finished, and the reinforced gate was being installed.I stepped out of my car and looked around.This place had to become more than a house.It had to become my lifeline."Miss Elena."I turned toward the cont

    Chapter 4 I couldn't sleep.The message kept replaying in my mind.The world is about to change.Who had sent it?And more importantly, how did they know?I sat on the edge of my bed with my phone in my hand, staring at the unknown number.I called again.Nothing.Straight to voicemail.I tried sending a message.Who are you?No reply.I waited five minutes.Then ten.Nothing.I threw my phone onto the bed and stood up.Maybe it was a prank.Maybe someone had somehow heard about my preparations and was trying to scare me.But deep down, I knew that wasn't it.The wording was too specific.They hadn't said there would be trouble.They had said the world was about to change.Exactly what I knew was coming.I walked to the window and looked outside.The city was peaceful.Cars moved along the road.People walked home from work.A couple laughed outside a restaurant.Children played near a shop.Nobody knew that in three months, most of this would disappear.I closed the curtains.I coul

    Chapter 3 Three months. That was all the time I had left before the world fell apart. I stood in the middle of my new house, staring at the workers installing the final security system. The walls were reinforced, the windows protected, and the main gate strengthened with heavy steel. It still wasn't enough. In my previous life, I had learned that even the strongest shelter could become a prison if the person inside made the wrong decisions. This time, I would make sure that didn't happen. "Miss Elena, we've finished the gate," the contractor called. I walked over to inspect it. The metal was thick, and the locking system was more secure than before. "Good. Please make sure the water storage and backup electricity are ready before the end of the week." He nodded. "We'll finish everything on schedule." After he left, I checked my notebook. Food. Water. Medicine. Batteries. Fuel. Clothes. I crossed off the items I had already purchased. My savings were shrinking quickly, b

We'll have it done soon."I looked at the construction workers.In my previous life, I had never understood how quickly ordinary things could become priceless.things like food, water, medicine Would cos
