In October 2025, an explosion occurs at a remote lab. An unidentified substance is leaked, and the virus makes people go insane. Anyone who is bitten by these rabid creatures becomes one of them. It's like the zombies people see in movies and video games. On the first day of the explosion, my five-year-old, Joyce Fairfield, is still at kindergarten. I risk my life to hurry there, but I can't even find her corpse when I arrive. I can only look at the surveillance footage to see her face, which is ashen with fear. I also see her mouth, "Mommy!" 15 days after the explosion, I finally traverse the city and get to my mother's home. However, all that welcomes me is a destroyed apartment and blood everywhere. 20 days after the explosion, my husband, Emmett Fairfield, calls me one last time from his office, which zombies have surrounded. He tells me not to leave the house. Less than a month after the apocalypse arrives, I lose all my family. I'm alone as I struggle to survive in this dead world. The spread of the virus triggers chaos in mankind. I exchange all my supplies to save a neighboring couple from bandits, leading them to safety in a secure zone where they can live stable lives. However, my kindness is not repaid. Three years after the explosion, the secure zone is under siege by a wave of zombies. As we retreat, my neighbors shove me underneath a car so I'll distract the zombies. Then, they make a run for it and get away. Trusted neighbors betray me. As the zombies eat away at me, I can feel death looming. All I want is to see my family again. Now, I've been reborn. I have six hours before the zombie apocalypse breaks out.
View MoreThe day the zombie wave came upon us, close to 10,000 women, elderly, and children took cover in the safe zone's underground shelter. Everyone looked worried.My colleagues and I did our best to comfort and soothe everyone. Our walls were fortified, and we had plenty of military personnel protecting us.As we did this, we heard the sound of explosions above ground—the zombies were here.Everyone started praying silently. We prayed that we would make it through this and that everyone fighting to protect us would make it out alive.I shut my eyes and prayed, too. When I opened them, I saw sunlight streaming in through a gap. Suddenly, it hit me that I'd changed this world.In my past life, I and many others had died in the zombie wave. But now, we were still alive.I was weak and inconsequential, but my presence had largely affected the world's future.…The battle went on for three days. Even underground, we didn't dare rest or let our guard down. Everyone held their weapons clo
Seven months after the zombie outbreak, we finally drove up to a safe zone's entrance. The gates swung open, and military and medical personnel were on high alert inside. If any of us were found to have been infected, we would immediately be killed.There were over 10,000 survivors in the safe zone. Emmett had already signed up to join the defense squad and would work with the military to protect the safe zone.Meanwhile, I went to the head of the military and showed him the records of my purchases prior to the zombie outbreak. I said, "I've been reborn. In my past life, I died three years after the zombie outbreak."These are records of my purchases before the zombie outbreak. In a year, the safe zone will be overrun by a large wave of zombies. We have to prepare in advance."He took my phone and looked at it in surprise. "Do you know the cause of the virus, then?""That had yet to be discovered when I died."He fell briefly silent. "There are missiles and infrared systems outsi
On the second day of the new year, the sound of running cars came from outside. We also heard gunshots and explosions.I looked out the window to see seven or eight cars drive into the neighborhood. The people in them searched each villa for supplies. These people were dangerous—they were the bandits who'd taken all my supplies in my past life.They broke down the door to the villa next door and dragged the couple inside out. Then, they pillaged the place for food.In my past life, I'd saved the neighboring couple as they'd fought back against the bandits. I'd ended up getting injured and losing all my supplies, yet the people I'd risked my life for had betrayed me in our retreat. They'd shoved me into a horde of zombies.This time, I was going to stand by and watch. The bandits only wanted food—the couple wouldn't be in danger if they didn't attack first."They have plenty of supplies! Go ransack their home!" The woman pointed at my house when she saw the bandits taking her food.
Two months had passed since the zombie outbreak. We heard loud banging on our gate—a crowd had gathered outside."Open up! We know there are people inside!""Keep hiding if you want! We'll feed you the zombies when we get in there!"A woman's weak voice rang out, "Maybe we shouldn't kill them if they're willing to share their food."A loud slap followed. "Shut up!"The woman seemed to fall onto the floor from the force of the slap. She didn't say anything else after that.Joyce curled up in my arms as Mom and I grabbed our guns and headed to the second floor to shoot the unwelcome visitors down. Meanwhile, Emmett guarded the door on the first floor.The gate fell open with a loud crash, and chaotic footsteps stormed into the yard. It didn't take long for someone to step on the nails scattered all over the place. They howled in pain.The noise attracted the roaming zombies, who flooded in and surrounded the group. Several seconds later, all that was left was the sound of the zom
Late that night, I was roused by the loud revving of a car's engine. I peeked out of the curtains to see a car running over zombies as it sped forward before stopping outside a villa at the end of the road.A woman covered from head to toe got out of the car with a baby in her arms. She ran to the villa, but zombies intercepted her and tore them to shreds. I could vaguely hear the baby's cries, but when the zombies dispersed, all that was left was a pool of blood.Adults could withstand the horrible external conditions, but babies couldn't. Parents would do everything they could to provide their children with better environments and keep them alive.Behind me, Emmett said, "I'm glad I became a zombie early on in our past lives.""That's not happening in this lifetime," I said.Suddenly, we heard the buzzing of a drone in the air. I immediately drew the curtains shut.The drone hovered above the neighborhood for a while before circling the area and observing the situation. I watch
One day had passed after the zombie outbreak. We still had water and electricity, but it was hard to tell how long they would last.After breakfast, we surfed the Net to see how things were going. On Twitter, there were images and videos of zombies eating people everywhere.I searched for news of the military entering the city, but just as it had been in my past life, they were nowhere to be seen. This wasn't because they were slow to react, though. As frontliners, many of them had become zombies after being infected by the virus, especially in the initial stages of the outbreak.The government had tried to use large-scale, mass destruction thermal weapons to exterminate the zombies. While this was an effective way to kill them in large numbers, as long as even one remained alive, they would quickly infect a large group again.Ultimately, the military had given up on rescue efforts and had instead focused on building safe zones to protect the surviving humans.That morning, a few
