Apocalypse

I had just been confirmed as a match and was preparing to donate a kidney to my husband's adoptive sister. That night, she left her iPad in the living room. The screen was still on, showing her chat with the doctor: [Doctor, please don't tell my sister-in-law. If she has a kidney removed, her hidden heart condition will flare up, and she won't live longer than three months.] The next day, I canceled the donation without a second thought. My husband flew into a rage. He called me cold-blooded and forced me to sign a divorce agreement that left me with nothing. The next day, I stood outside the hospital room and heard my sister-in-law laughing smugly. "She's so stupid. I faked one chat screenshot, and she actually believed she was sick. Now her penthouse is mine, and we can finally be together openly." My husband kissed her. "Good girl. Later, I'll find you a good kidney on the black market." Outside the door, I sneered. Of course, I knew the chat log was fake. I had come back from the future, after all. In two weeks, the zombie outbreak would begin. Those two so-called siblings who were actually lovers would not only steal my medicine, they would push me out to feed me to the zombies. This time, with only four days left before zombie hordes overran the city, I wanted to see how long a sick woman without a new kidney and a scumbag without supplies could last in that penthouse.

Chapter 1

My eyes flew open as I started to gasp for breath, the pain of my neck being torn open still fresh.

When I thought of Julian and Jessica Taylor, I remembered how they had stolen the last piece of moldy bread I had risked my life to bring back. I remembered how, the moment the zombies broke through the security door, they grabbed me from both sides and shoved me out.

"Melanie, Jessica has bad health! Hold them off for us! I'll never forget what you did!" I clenched my fists, letting the pain remind me this was all real. After a moment, I threw off the covers and got out of bed.

In the living room, Jessica's iPad was still lit on the coffee table. When I saw the chat window on the screen, my lips curled into a cold smile.

Early the next morning, I looked coldly at Jessica in the hospital's VIP ward. She was lying in bed and pretending to be weak while Julian was attending to her at her side. I said, "Doctor, cancel the surgery. I'm not donating my kidney."

Julian turned sharply, disbelief all over his face. "Melanie, are you insane? Jessica's kidney failure can't wait any longer. You're saying you won't donate now? Are you treating us as fools?"

Jessica's eyes reddened, and tears rolled down her cheeks as she tugged pitifully at Julian's sleeve. "Julian, don't blame Melanie. I guess I was just born unlucky... I won't get treatment. Just let me die."

"Shut up! As long as I'm here, I won't let you die!" Julian held her in his arms as if she were some precious treasure, then turned and glared at me. "I never thought you'd be this cold-blooded, Melanie. You were confirmed as a match, and now you're backing out at the last second. Where's your conscience?"

His holier-than-thou attitude made my stomach turn.

"Yes, I'm cold-blooded," I said with a cold laugh. "Since you think I'm so cold-blooded, let's get divorced."

Julian froze, as if he had not expected me to bring up divorce myself. There was a flash of joy in his eyes, then he forced a stern expression on his face and pretended to be heartbroken. "Fine. Divorce it is. I can't spend another day with a selfish woman like you who can watch another person die and do nothing. But don't think you'll get a cent from me. That penthouse downtown was mine before we got married! You'll leave with nothing!"

Without the slightest hesitation, I nodded and said, "Fine."

The next day, I went to the hospital with the divorce agreement ready.

As soon as I reached the VIP ward, I heard Jessica's smug laughter inside. "She's so stupid. She believed one random screenshot. Now we can finally be together openly."

Julian let out a low laugh, his voice full of fondness.

At that moment, I pushed the door open and threw the divorce agreement in Julian's face. "Sign it."

He gritted his teeth and quickly signed his name.

I left the hospital without looking back with the divorce papers in hand. That was because I knew there were only three days left before the zombies overran the city.

Chapter 2
After leaving the hospital, I narrowed my eyes against the sun glare. Julian had owned the penthouse before we got married, but my name had been added to the title. Before the transfer went through, I still had plenty of time to use that hole. I contacted a loan broker who had spent years skirting the edge of the law. Some time later, I met up with the broker. I slid a copy of the title across the table with a firm tone. "A 3,200-square-foot penthouse downtown, worth more than two million in the market. I only want eight hundred thousand, paid today." The broker looked at me, his eyes lighting up. "You really are quite decisive. But the interest..." "Use your highest rate. I don't care," I cut in. Julian would be the one paying it back anyway. No matter how high the interest climbed, it had nothing to do with me. Aside from mortgaging the penthouse, I maxed out every credit card in my name and borrowed the highest amount I could from dozens of online lenders. In just a

Chapter 3
The night before the apocalypse was so calm it felt suffocating. I stood in front of the bunker's observation window made from bulletproof glass and watched dark red rain pour down outside. It was unusually thick with the metallic smell of blood. The news kept cutting in with one grim emergency report after another. "Unexplained mutated rabies attacks have broken out across multiple parts of the city. Residents are advised to stay home and keep all doors and windows closed..." The reporter's voice shook despite his effort to hide it, and faint, piercing screams came from somewhere behind him. I turned to the screen on the wall that was connected to the security cameras back in the penthouse. Julian and Jessica had no idea what was happening outside. They were soaking in the oversized bathtub, rose petals floating on the water, drinking my prized Romanee-Conti and feeding each other peeled grapes. "Looks like it's raining. Why is the sky so red?" Jessica glanced at the tall wi

Chapter 4
By the third day of the zombie apocalypse, the scent of the penthouse's expensive perfume had been buried under the stink of human waste and desperate sweat. No water and no power had turned the two-million-dollar penthouse into a sealed, sweltering can.Julian was half-starved, his eyes sunken as he searched the spacious kitchen and living room for supplies. He and Jessica had just moved in, and they had been too busy playing at romance to think about food.The huge refrigerator held only a few bottles of high-end champagne and a half-eaten box of imported strawberries. Otherwise, it was as good as empty.Julian tore through every cabinet. All he found was half a case of bottled water under the coffee table, a few opened bags of chips, and two cups of instant noodles in the end."That's all?!" Julian threw the bags of chips to the floor and let out a desperate growl. That amount of food and water was barely enough for one meal, let alone a zombie apocalypse with no end in sight.

Chapter 5
Day fifteen of the zombie apocalypse. Famine had fully set in. There was nothing edible left in the penthouse. Even the expensive potted plants had been ripped out by the roots and eaten by Julian. He and Jessica were nothing but skin and bones, their eyes sunken, like two walking skeletons.Jessica was even worse off. Because of her severe kidney failure, her legs were grotesquely swollen, and she no longer had the strength to get out of bed. The urine her body could not expel seemed to seep out through her pores, and the entire main bedroom reeked so badly even flies would seemingly avoid her. She lay on the bed, barely breathing with her eyes unfocused. Julian wandered through the living room, searching every corner for anything they might have missed. Suddenly, his hand brushed against something hard between the leather couch cushions. When he pulled it out, he found a bottle of water that was half full. One of the movers must have shoved it there on moving day! To

Chapter 6
Day twenty-five of the apocalypse. The last drop of water in the penthouse was gone. For the past three days, Julian and Jessica had survived on the water from the toilet tank. Now even the sludge at the bottom had been licked clean. If they did not go out and look for food and water, they would die of thirst within two days. Julian leaned weakly against the corner, gripping a rusty kitchen knife. His cold gaze slid over Jessica. "Jessica, your body won't hold out much longer anyway. Why don't you go into the hallway and make some noise to lure the zombies away? I'll use the chance to take the emergency stairs down and look for food at the supermarket. I promise, once I find food, I'll come back and save you right away." Jessica was gravely ill, but her brain was still working. She knew Julian too well. He wanted to use her as bait and kill her! "No... I won't go..." Jessica trembled in fear, then crawled and stumbled to Julian's feet, clutching his leg tightly. She raised

Chapter 7
Outside the penthouse, the emergency lights in the hallway had long since died. The entire corridor was pitch black, and the air was thick with rot and the heavy smell of blood. Julian leaned against the cold wall, his heart pounding wildly as his legs were shaking from fear and hunger. He gulped with his dry throat and gripped the kitchen knife with both hands. Following the faint green glow of the exit sign, he moved toward the elevator one step at a time. Munch… Crunch… Suddenly, a chewing sound came from around the corner. Julian was stunned and poked half his head out to look. By the elevator, a zombie in a torn Armani suit was crouched on the floor, gnawing on a corpse that had long since become unrecognizable. As if it had smelled fear coming off a living person, the suited zombie suddenly went still. It slowly turned its head. Its cloudy, pale eyes locked onto Julian. A long, dark red piece of intestine was still hanging from the corner of its torn mouth. "Roa

Chapter 8
As the virus ate through him and the shock of nearly dying hit Julian's mind, something sealed deep in his mind suddenly broke. Images that did not belong to this life flashed through his mind, like his life passing before his eyes. They were memories from his previous life. He saw the first day of the apocalypse. I had risked infection and rushed downstairs with a baseball bat, fighting my way back from the supermarket with a backpack full of food. He saw days without water or food. I had placed the last half bottle of water and a piece of moldy bread into his hands, even though I was so hungry I could barely stand. He saw the moment the zombies broke through the door. I had stood at the very front with a knife, screaming for him to take Jessica and leave first. But the final image froze at that front door. It froze on the scene where he and Jessica each grabbed one of my arms, shoved me outside, and locked the door behind me. My desperate, piercing screams as the zombie

Chapter 9
Julian's wails echoed through the quiet hallway. With blood-covered hands, he pounded desperately on the penthouse door. "Jessica! Open the door! Open it now! I've been bitten. Save me!" Julian screamed until his voice cracked, his fingernails scraping and leaving bloody marks on the metal door. Inside the penthouse, Jessica leaned against the wall, trembling as she listened to his miserable screams and frantic pounding. But she did not touch the handle. She covered her mouth tightly instead, her eyes flashing with terror and selfishness. "Open the door! Jessica! You witch! I went out there for you, and you won't open the door?!" Julian cursed outside. Jessica not only refused to open the door, but she also dragged her swollen legs backward inch by inch until she reached the bedroom. Through the thick front door, she shouted, "Julian, you've been bitten! You're about to turn into a zombie! I can't open the door. If I do, I'll die too! You love me so much, so let me live! You

Chapter 10
After Julian died, the horde in the hallway did not leave. The dozens of zombies devoured every bit of Julian's flesh and blood, but they still lingered outside the penthouse. They could smell a living person through the crack under the door. Bang! Bang! The zombies began throwing themselves against the front door. But by the thirtieth day of the zombie apocalypse and a month of neglect, with Julian's frantic pounding and the zombies' relentless attacks, the door finally gave way. Metal groaned under the strain. And then… Bang! With a loud crash, the heavy door collapsed and slammed onto the marble floor of the entryway. Harsh light poured into the condo from outside. And with that light came the horde, like demons from hell. Jessica hid under the bed in the bedroom, both hands clamped over her ears. She was so terrified she lost control of her bladder. Because of her late-stage kidney failure, her body had already broken down badly, and she did not even have the stre
