Reborn With My Apocalypse Space Ruben's Price
Chapter 23: Ruben's PricePOV: ChloeI found Ruben in the old stairwell, sitting on the third step with his head lowered.He looked nothing like the man who had sent people searching through our supplies. His shirt was dirty, his beard untrimmed, and exhaustion showed on his face. Every few seconds, he glanced towards the upper floor.His wife was up there.I'd seen her before, leaning against him in the hallway while he helped her back into their apartment. She had looked weak then. I could only imagine how much worse she was now.Ruben noticed me and quickly stood."You shouldn't be here.""I need to talk to you.""There's nothing to discuss."He tried to pass, but I stepped aside and reached into my bag."How is your wife?"His expression hardened. "Leave her out of this."I didn't argue. Instead, I brought out a fresh tomato and a packet of antibiotics.He stared at them."Take these.""Why?""Your wife needs them."He looked at the medicine but made no move to collect it."What d
Reborn With My Apocalypse Space What Mum Chose
Chapter 22: What Mum ChosePOV: ChloeDad's fever finally broke shortly after midnight.I noticed it when I wiped his forehead and found his skin damp but no longer burning. His breathing had also settled, although he still looked weak beneath the blanket."You're getting better," I whispered.He opened his eyes and managed a tired smile. "You should see your own face. You look like you haven't slept in days.""I haven't.""Then you should."I smiled faintly and adjusted his pillow. I had spent most of the night beside him, checking his temperature and watching his chest rise and fall. Every time his breathing changed, I found myself leaning closer to make sure he was still all right.Mum entered with a fresh bowl of water. She placed it on the small table, then pulled a chair beside mine."You've done enough for tonight," she said."I'll stay."She didn't argue. Instead, she sat quietly, rubbing her fingers together as though she was trying to find the right words."Chloe, there's so
Reborn With My Apocalypse Space The Quiet Herd
Chapter 21: The Quiet HerdPOV: MarrForty infected stood in the yard.I watched the drone footage from the control room, studying their movements as rain poured over the abandoned buildings. They had been wandering aimlessly for several minutes, bumping into one another and dragging their feet through the mud.Then one of them dropped to its knees.Another followed.Within moments, all forty were kneeling, their faces turned toward a single window."Play that again," I ordered.The technician rewound the footage. I watched the same thing happen, paying close attention to the moment the first infected lowered its head."Why are they doing that?" he asked."Because they're responding to someone."He glanced at me. "Someone is controlling them?""Not exactly."I leaned closer to the screen. We had spent months studying the pathogen, and there were still things it did that even our best researchers struggled to explain. Most infected lost their ability to think for themselves. But a carr
Reborn With My Apocalypse Space Triage
Chapter 20: TriagePOV: ChloeThe first thing I noticed when I entered Whitlow's infirmary was the number of people waiting for help.Some lay on thin mattresses along the walls, while others sat on the floor with their backs against the windows. A woman held a damp cloth to her son's forehead, and an old man coughed into a handkerchief that was already stained with blood. The nurses moved from one patient to another, but there were too many people and not enough medicine.I tightened my grip on the bag I had brought.Inside were tomatoes and a few other vegetables from the spring in my space. I had picked them that morning, hoping Whitlow would accept them in exchange for the antibiotics Dad needed.He was behind a wooden desk near the entrance, checking a list of supplies. When I placed the bag in front of him, he looked inside and picked up a tomato.“Where did you get these?”“My family had some stored away.”He turned the tomato in his hand, examining its smooth skin. “People wou
Reborn With My Apocalypse Space The Deserter
Chapter 19: The DeserterPOV: ChloeNoah waited until we were safely away from the old house before telling me what he had discovered.“The toll collector is Daniel.”I turned to him, hoping I had misunderstood. “Are you sure?”“I recognised his face as soon as I saw him. He's using another name, but it's definitely him.”I looked ahead without saying anything. After everything that had happened between Daniel and me, I hadn't expected to hear his name again so soon.In my previous life, he had refused to open his door when I begged him for shelter. I had been desperate, hungry and frightened, while he had stood behind that door and left me to face the cold and the infected outside.Yet Noah had seen him collecting tolls from survivors as if nothing had happened.“Did he ask about me?” I eventually asked.“He did, but I didn't tell him where you were. I also warned him to stay away from you.”I nodded, keeping my thoughts to myself. Daniel had made his choice once, and I had no intent
Reborn With My Apocalypse Space Mum's Key
Chapter 18: Mum's KeyPOV: ChloeNoah kept watching me, waiting for an explanation.I glanced at the bloodstain on my sleeve before meeting his eyes. “I can keep certain supplies somewhere safe, away from other people. But using it comes at a price.”His gaze dropped to my sleeve again. “Is that why you've been getting headaches?”I nodded, relieved that he hadn't asked me to explain further. “I need you to keep this between us. Don't tell anyone, not even your wife.”Noah studied my face for a moment before agreeing. “I won't.”He reached into his pocket and brought out a small brass key. Mum had given it to him before we left the old house, telling him that Dad had left something behind that we might need.“We should go before it gets dark,” he said.I agreed, and after telling Mum we were checking the nearby road, we left the store. Noah's wife stayed behind with our parents while we made our way through the quiet streets.The closer we got to our old neighbourhood, the more carefu
