INICIAR SESIÓNThey found the first survivor inside a small storage room.It was an elderly man who had been hiding beneath a metal table.Ethan approached him carefully.“Are you hurt?” The man slowly raised his head.“Please don’t kill me.”“We are not here to hurt you,” Elena said.The man looked at their weapons.“Are you from the military?”“No,” Ethan replied. “We are survivors.”The man began crying.“I thought everyone had abandoned this place.”Elena helped him stand.“Have you seen anyone else here?” The man nodded.“There was a woman.” Evelyn stepped forward.“What woman?”“She had dark hair. She was wearing a torn jacket. She came here with a group of people, but the infected attacked them.”Evelyn’s breathing changed.“Where is she?” The man pointed toward the end of the passage.“She went into the old drainage chamber.”“Was she alone?”“I think so.” Evelyn turned toward the passage.Elena caught her arm.“Wait. We need to know what is inside first.”The man shook his head.“You should
The scientist stepped away from the glass chamber. He had spent years studying the two sisters, but he had never expected Amelia to regain so much of her memory.“Your sister is not here,” he said carefully. “She is somewhere in Westbridge.”Amelia tilted her head.“I know.”“Then why are you smiling?”“Because she is coming for me.” The scientist frowned.“You cannot know that.”Amelia raised her hand. The metal restraints around her wrists began to shake.“She always comes when I need her.”The scientist quickly pressed a button on the control panel.“Security! Increase the restraints. Subject Amelia is becoming unstable.”Several alarms sounded. Amelia did not look frightened.Instead, she stared at the ceiling.“Big sister,” she whispered. “You must hurry.”*****************Several miles away, Evelyn stood beside the broken road.The wind carried the smell of blood and burning buildings. The city had become even more dangerous since the last time she passed through it.Ethan was
After several minutes, Evelyn looked around the ruined street.Then something important came to her mind.“My supplies.”Ethan turned toward her.“What?”“The sanctuary. My supplies. The food, water, medicine, weapons, everything I stored.”Ethan did not answer.Evelyn looked at him.“Did you bring them somewhere safe?”He lowered his head.“No.” She stared at him.“What happened to them?” “Adrian and Bianca took everything.”Evelyn’s face became still.“Everything?” Ethan nodded.“They destroyed the sanctuary. They broke into the storage rooms and took the supplies. They even removed the remaining equipment.”“What about the underground storage?”“They found it.” Evelyn looked toward the ruined city.“What about the generator?” “Destroyed.”“The water system?” Gone.”“The weapons?” “Taken.” She slowly closed her eyes.The supplies had taken weeks to gather.She had spent money, time, and effort preparing for the apocalypse. She had risked her life several times to collect food and me
Ethan glanced in the direction Evelyn had disappeared.“She is moving too fast. We may not be able to catch up with her.”“I know.”“Then how are we going to find her?”Elena looked down at the small device attached to her wrist. It had a cracked screen, and several lights were blinking weakly.“This device can detect her biological signal. It was designed to monitor the subjects of Project Second Dawn.”Ethan frowned.“You have been carrying something like that all this time?”“I didn’t want Evelyn to discover it before I understood what was happening to her.”“Why?” Elena looked at him.“Because I was afraid of what she might become.”Ethan glanced toward the ruined building.“She is still Evelyn.” Elena’s expression softened.“I want to believe that.”She pressed the device. A faint blue light appeared on the screen.[QUEEN SIGNATURE DETECTED.] [SUBJECT: EVELYN HART.][LOCATION: UNKNOWN.] [TRACKING SIGNAL: WEAK.]Elena frowned. The signal is moving away from us.”“Can you follow it
Inside the sealed room, Elena struggled to stand.“They have taken her.” Ethan looked at the monitor.“We have to stop them.”Elena shook her head.“We cannot fight them while that weapon is active.”“Then turn it off!”“I don’t know where they placed the main transmitter.”Ethan looked through the small viewing window.He could see Evelyn on the floor. The sound weapon was still active.The soldiers were carrying the small infected creature toward one of the vehicles.Evelyn’s fingers moved. Then her head slowly lifted.Her eyes fixed on the vehicle.Elena immediately understood what was happening.“Evelyn, don’t!” But her daughter could no longer hear her.The soldier carrying the creature reached the vehicle.The rear door opened. He pushed the small body inside.Then he turned around. A dark shape was standing behind him.He barely had time to raise his weapon.Evelyn struck him. His body flew across the street and crashed against another vehicle.The soldiers shouted.“Target is
Even some of Adrian’s followers seemed unable to resist the pressure coming from Evelyn.Far away, Adrian watched the signal on his screen disappear.His expression became cold.“She killed it.” Bianca stared at him.“Which one?”“The strongest one.” He slowly clenched his fist.“Prepare the next group.”****************** Inside the sealed room, Elena watched the security monitor.She had seen the battle and also noticed something unusual.Evelyn was not attacking every infected creature.Whenever an ordinary infected approached her, she seemed to recognize something in its movement.She watched one small creature crawl from beneath a fallen table.It was thin and weak.One of its arms was badly damaged, and its clothes looked like an old hospital uniform.The creature did not attack. It simply stood near the doorway.Evelyn turned toward it. Her claws remained raised.The small creature took one step forward.Then another. It made a soft sound.Evelyn froze. The sound was not a gro
