Ellen didn't have a free hand to fix the backpack sliding off her shoulder. She just tightened her grip and kept climbing.Once she made it up, the last two people stepped forward. They were a married couple. The husband jumped into the elevator shaft first. He pressed himself against the inner wall and reached out his hand."Come on," he said to his wife.She grabbed the doorframe carefully and stretched her arm toward him.Just as their hands finally connected and her body tipped into the shaft… Potatoes suddenly came raining down from above.A whole pile of them.The man's grip jerked violently as the weight shifted. The next second, his wife slipped and fell straight down with the tumbling potatoes."Honey!""My potatoes!"The man and Ellen shouted at the same time.Thud!The woman hit the bottom of the elevator shaft like a sack of meat. Blood spread across the dark floor instantly.Her skull burst on impact. Pieces of bone and flesh were scattered across the concr

"What did you just say?"Jasmine stared at Warren in disbelief, the madness in her eyes giving way to shock."I said your divorce from Osbert was my doing!" Warren replied coldly, as if none of it mattered anymore. "Do you know what he said before he died? He told me to take care of you. Said if I looked after you, he’d fight to the death to make sure I escaped."He laughed harshly."You loved him so much, didn’t you? Then go find him. Go on! Go die with him!"Warren shoved her hard onto the stairs of the upper floor.Below them, the zombie horde was once again trapped at the broken gap on the eighth floor.The echoes of their howling filled the stairwell.For a moment, Jasmine stood there listening. Then suddenly, she grew quiet as the panic drained from her face.She looked up at Warren as he ran ahead alone, and then followed him.Meanwhile, Hayley and her team had already reached the 14th floor.When they got there, Hayley spotted someone familiar.Ellen was sprawled on

Warren had stayed that night for one reason: he wanted to make it clear to Osbert that Jasmine was his now, and that there was no chance for Osbert to come back into the picture.Meanwhile, Ellen had stayed because she had been waiting for the right moment to wedge herself in.The virus outbreak had started outside the building.That night, everyone had been working past midnight. Warren and Ellen went downstairs to the convenience store to grab coffee and snacks for the team.That was when they ran into the security guard. He was injured, and the fear on his face was unmistakable.They helped him into the elevator that required a keycard to access the upper floors.But by the time they reached the company office, the guard had already turned.Right there inside the elevator, the guard mutated.Warren fought him in the confined space, and in the struggle, he realized the guard was turning into a zombie. He barely managed to subdue the guard and locked him inside the elevator, a

Jasmine had always been the kind of person people liked.Her parents were scholars. The family had money and status. Growing up, she had been the kind of girl everyone admired.She excelled in school. She danced ballet. She played piano. She was beautiful, talented, and from a good family.After graduating, she joined the company in this building. Within a few years, her talent earned her the position of art director.Everything in her life had gone smoothly.Even her marriage had been to a man who matched her perfectly in background and ability.But more than anything else, people simply liked Jasmine.She never acted spoiled or entitled; she was gentle and kind. All the good words people used to describe someone seemed to fit her.Now, Jasmine clung to Warren with fierce determination.Her entire life had been destroyed by him. If not for him, she would still be with Osbert.Even if the world had ended, even if they had turned into zombies together, she would have accepted

"Ms. Reid, you're back!"People on the street greeted Hayley's group warmly.They looked clean and healthy. Their clothes were neat, their faces full of color, their bodies strong and well fed."Got new residents with you?" someone asked."Yeah," Hayley said, "but they're joining Base K1."She gave Liam a small look, passing the group over to him.She had already made it clear earlier that she didn't want them.Her own base wasn't short on people, anymore. Every position already had someone filling it.Anyone who wanted to join Haylight Base now had to stand out.At the very least, they needed strong survival instincts, good character, or real ability.Like the students and teachers she had rescued from the zombie-infested high school earlier. Those kinds of people she was willing to bring in herself.Among this group, the only one who really stood out was Jasmine, a water-element Gifted.If Jasmine had actually stepped forward and asked to join, Hayley might have considere
