Chapter 1 Reborn

Yvonne Brown was blocking our way out. It was our only path to survival. Our teammates roared at her with everything they had, "This is our last chance to retreat! Either we leave, or all of us are going to die here!"Yvonne was stony and cold. She refused to make way for any of us. "Yves is still on the way. You can spare five minutes. That's no big deal!"Panic was etching itself across our teammates' faces. "You're going to put our lives at risk just for him? Yvonne, that's ridiculous! That's just selfish!"Some of the hot-tempered ones would not stand for this. They charged ahead and tried to pull her away.And then Yvonne fired a shot. The bullet flew past everyone's heads, but only barely. Gasps and sharp inhalations screeched."Are you mad?" they demanded.Yvonne did not flinch in the face of accusations. Instead, she retorted, "You're the selfish ones! You're vile and evil! No one's going on the chopper until Yves is here! You're all cowards who don't deserve to live anyw

Chapter 2 The Revenge Begins

"Y-Yvonne, I…" Yves was breathing heavily, and he couldn't even make a complete sentence, but his eyes gleamed with excitement. "I knew… I knew you'd wait for me."It was a miracle the guy managed to make the journey from eastside to the landing strip. His stamina barely existed.A long sigh of relief escaped Yvonne's lips, and a smile carved itself on her face.But then, a deafening explosion thundered in the distance. The zombie swarm broke through the last line of defense.The chopper closed its door and took off, carrying with it whatever survivors it managed to save.My teammates did not catch the final flight, and they cursed."Yvonne, you madwoman! You just destroyed our only chance at survival! And that idiot! A guitar? You went all the way back right before the retreat just to get a guitar? You think anyone's interested in your performance?"The curses wouldn't stop coming, and my teammates' fury drained Yves of all color he had. If looks could kill, he'd be more shredd

Chapter 3 Promise

Would she keep her promise to Yves, or would she stoop to the lowest and vilest level of humanity when survival was on the line?…The rescue squad was coming, and we had more than enough resources to keep us alive until then.The promise of abundance gave Yvonne confidence. She and Yves started eating through resources like they were nothing.They did their laundry with clean water from the water purifier, consumed emergency medicine like antibiotics as if they were supplements, and even took out batteries from the sanctuary's electronics just to charge their music player.And then it was the evening of the third day. Only half an hour left until the rescue squad's arrival.I was in a meeting with my teammates, but Yvonne barged inside and interrupted us unceremoniously. "Give me the serum, Sieghart!" she ordered imperiously.A frown creased my forehead, and I raised my gaze to meet hers. "Why? Someone infected?"The answer that came from Yvonne shocked everyone into disbelief

Chapter 4 Promise Broken

All the color was drained from Yvonne's face. She turned her eyes to me, disbelief thick within her gaze. "W-What's going on here, Sieghart?"I was standing at the cabin's entrance, and I met her gaze coolly. "There are only six slots available for this rescue, and the military only accepts skilled members. My teammates and I are evidently on that list."A pause later, I said, "There wasn't supposed to be a seventh slot, but I called in a lot of favors with the top guys, and they reluctantly gave me one. Ah, that reminds me. One of you is not going to come with us, obviously."My teammates would've roared with laughter, but they stayed as composed as their bodies and minds allowed them to.Against fully armed soldiers, Yvonne would never try to start anything funny. Trembling, she looked at her precious childhood friend. "Yves, I—"Yves didn't even wait for her to finish. He was already approaching the soldier, his face filled with an unctuous smile. "Take me. I was a famous music

Chapter 5 Lies

Someone was mimicking Yves' earlier promise that seemed so solid and unbreakable. They were trying to get under his skin.The show was nearing its end. I let out a fake sigh and approached the soldier. "Well, it's just one extra person. You can make an exception for them, can't you? I'll talk to your boss if they ask."…The chopper took off slowly. Yvonne was curled up in the corner like a pillbug, and her tears wouldn't stop coming. They'd smeared her makeup and turned it into a blotchy mess.Yves had the gall to approach her. His voice was quiet and careful. "I can explain, Yvonne. I…"Yvonne smacked her palm into his cheek as hard as she could. "Explain, my foot! You called me useless! What now, you're saying it's a lie? You're a bastard, Yves!""I-It's not what you think!" Yves gave me a glance. That was on purpose, obviously. "I had to make Sieghart show his true colors!"Yvonne's arm froze, her second slap dying down. "What do you mean?""It's obvious, isn't it? It was a

Chapter 6 Safe Zone

I would make her watch as her precious childhood friend took off his mask, bit by bit. She would wallow in her despair, and then she would understand the lengths her stupidity had taken her to.…Two days and one night later, we finally landed at the safe zone. Everyone was exhausted. The journey did not give us much time or comfort to rest. Once we got off the chopper, I applied for the best accommodations for my teammates.When it came to Yvonne, however, I told the soldier, "They're unimportant. Just give them a place to sleep. You don't have to go out of your way to provide any comfort."Yvonne flew into a rage. "How can you say that, Sieghart? I'm your girlfriend! You can't just let me sleep in the worst residential area! And it's a mixed zone!"I sneered. "Hey, you don't want to stay away from Yves. The mixed zone should be a good thing for you. You two can sleep together. It's perfect."Yvonne went red. She turned her sights to the tents erected nearby. The people there sm

Chapter 7 Hunt for Ingredient

"I… I learned essential life-saving techniques back at the hospital, and I was a nurse. I can help with the wounded."Yves nervously volunteered himself. "I don't have any skills, but I'm a guy. I can carry stuff.""You? Carry stuff?" My deputy snickered, and he pointed at Yves' still-bruised cheek. "You can't even beat a woman in a fight. Useful? Don't make me laugh."The teammates roared with laughter.Yvonne went white, but she stood her ground stubbornly. "I know we made mistakes, but give us a chance to make up for them. I swear I won't go against your orders this time. I'll follow them to a tee."Nobody believed them. They knew these two only wanted to tag along because the mission paid a hefty reward, and they wanted a cut.I raised my hand and told everyone to quiet down, then I turned around and whispered, "We'll let them tag along. If we run into any danger, we can use them to buy us some time. They'd work as good bait."My teammates trusted me, and they stopped compla

Chapter 8 Alarm

First, there was the rumble of the shutter opening, and then thundering, haphazard footsteps echoed through the air down the hallway."Fuck!" My deputy held up his firearm. "Yves opened up the shutter! That bastard!"I turned my head, but Yves had already run away."Yves, wait!" Yvonne screamed as she rushed over to him, but she could do nothing as she climbed up the safety ladder.With every ounce of strength in her body, she tried to reach out to the stairs, but her hands closed around air. Yves stood on high ground, staring at us triumphantly. There was a smile on his face, and in his arms was the precious sample."Yves, put the ladder down. I need to get up." Yvonne's voice was trembling so hard, it was nearly impossible to make out her sentence.Yves snickered. "Why should I save you?" He clapped the container. "With this baby, I can take all the credit for myself."Yvonne turned as white as paper. "This isn't the deal! You said once you get the sample, both of us can—""Y

Chapter 9 No Forgiveness

Yvonne crawled over to me like a maggot and held the leg of my trousers. "I-I'm sorry, Sieghart. I can't believe I ever trusted that bastard! I'm so stupid! Please, forgive me!"I pulled my leg back. Icily, I said, "You don't deserve forgiveness."On our way out, she kept begging me to forgive her. "Sieghart, we've dated for a long time. Please, give me a chance to prove myself. I won't make the same mistake again! I swear!""Shut up!" my deputy snapped. "Don't call yourself his girlfriend! You nearly cost us our evacuation for that bastard! Then, you wasted our precious serum, and now you almost got us killed! Get your ass out of my sight, or I'm going to shoot you in the head, you bitch!"I pulled out a dagger from my belt and tossed it at Yvonne. "Like I said, you're on your own. You're no longer a part of the team. And I told you we're over, so stop clinging to me."She got on her knees and crawled to me on all fours. Then, she wrapped her arms around my leg. No strength could

Chapter 10 Sacrifice

"Don't do that."My deputy could not believe what I just did. "Sieghart, this bastard betrayed us! Did you forget what he did to us? You can't possibly spare him!"I waved my hand with a smile. "Offing him with a gun is the easy way out for him. Let the zombies do their job. He's going to watch them gnaw away at his flesh, inch by inch. That's the least punishment a traitor deserves."My teammates agreed with me, but Yves, still alive, snarled and broke into laughter."Save me, or I'm destroying the sample! You'll never develop any new serum!" He was holding the sample tightly, and his eyes were filled with mad cruelty.I chortled and slowly took out the same tube of sample from my pocket. "You mean this sample?"Yves' eyes went wide with disbelief, and his face trembled. "Impossible! If you have the serum, then what's in this contai—""Fake sample, obviously." I swirled the tube I was holding. "You think I'd let a traitor like you guard something that important? I knew you'd do
