Chapter 1

The sound of zombies gnawing on flesh echoed from outside the base, together with the constant thud of their bodies slamming against the gates.My eyes snapped open. I had somehow returned to the day the zombies had besieged the city.I rushed straight to the command center and sounded the alarm.June Morgan, my sister-in-law, grabbed my arm in confusion.“Eira, why did you suddenly sound the alarm? Zombies are everywhere outside the base. Some noise is normal.”I had no time to explain. I grabbed her and Poppy’s hands and rushed toward the air-raid shelter.“The zombies are about to invade the base! You two get into the air-raid shelter now!”Hearing this, June’s face instantly turned serious.“Eira, are you serious? This isn’t something to joke about. Where’s Castiel? Get him to organize defenses immediately.”But she did not know that because Liana Hughes wanted to bathe, Castiel had taken every able-bodied man in the base out to find clean water for her.With not a single

The room temperature seemed to drop instantly. An invisible fear enveloped us. Just then, Poppy’s smartwatch, which she had been fiddling with, finally connected to Castiel’s phone. “Daddy, hurry home! Zombies are in the base!” Hearing his daughter’s words, Castiel grew impatient. “Stop spouting nonsense! How could zombies suddenly get into the base? Daddy is busy. Can you please stop bothering me?” June urgently shouted into the phone, “Castiel, we’re not spouting nonsense! Zombies are already inside the base! Hurry back with reinforcements and save us!” Hearing her voice, Castiel’s tone grew even colder. “June, I’ve told you countless times! I know you’re jealous of Liana. But let me make this clear, your petty tricks won’t sway me one bit.“We’ve found a freshwater source, and I need to protect Liana while she bathes. Stop bothering me with these baseless accusations.” Hearing this, I felt like I had fallen into an ice cave. As expected, just as in my previous lif

I begged Lucian.“It doesn’t matter if we break off the engagement! Just send someone immediately to save June and Poppy, and I’ll do anything you ask!”When he heard that, Lucian froze. He knew how much I cared about him.Back when he was bitten by a zombie, I risked my life to find him the antibody.If I were thinking about abandoning him, it must mean things were really that bad.After hesitating, Lucian finally agreed to send help.I quickly recorded footage of our surroundings to send to him to prove that we were really in danger.Just then, Lucian received a voice note from Castiel.“Eira is pretending. Don’t believe a word she says.”Soon enough, I heard Castiel’s voice on the other end of the line.In that instant, it felt as if I had been plunged into ice water.Did Castiel truly wish for us to die?Lucian’s face darkened the moment he heard it.“Effective immediately, Northern Base is forbidden from answering Eira’s calls. No one is to leave the base! Eira, I wan

Chapter 4

Conrad did not move at all. He said expressionlessly, “Commander Fenton had us wait here specifically to block your way.”I thought I misheard him. “What?!”“Eira, I must say you act very well. You and June trying to deceive us is one thing, but dragging a young child into this is another.”Conrad took Poppy from me, placed her in the car, and addressed me coldly. “Commander Fenton saw through your and June’s scheme long ago.”Poppy kicked and struggled and tried to come back to me.“Please save my mom!”Thick smoke billowed in the distance. It faintly mingled with heart-wrenching screams.Conrad’s eyes flickered, but his anger only intensified.“You involved this young child in your lies!”With that, he locked me inside the car, too.“Conrad, I’m not lying! Your family’s desperately waiting for you!”I pounded desperately on the car door as my heart filled with despair.Conrad drove me to the Southern Base.But as soon as we reached the entrance, we saw crowds of people f

Chapter 5

When he saw the crowd advancing fiercely, Castiel sensed that something was wrong.He hurriedly shielded Liana behind him.Some people pointed their knives directly at Castiel.“Castiel Fenton, we chose you as the base’s leader to protect it!”“Why didn’t you come back when the zombies besieged the city?!”“You’d better give us an explanation for this!”The crowd shouted over each other. Their words were like a torrent threatening to drown Castiel and Liana.Castiel tried to speak, but the furious survivors drowned out his voice.Chaos erupted as the crowd closed in.Castiel momentarily froze and was unsure how to respond.He felt Liana trembling in fear behind him.Suddenly, Castiel drew a pistol from his side and fired three shots into the air.The base instantly fell quiet.The boy who had been brandishing a knife at Castiel backed away in fright.When he saw that it had worked, Castiel roared at the crowd.“Everyone, calm down!“Let me assess the situation first.“

“We respected you, admired you, and listened to your orders without any hesitation, but you took us for fools, Castiel Fenton!”Under everyone’s questioning gaze, Castiel had no way to defend himself. Facts were stronger than words and opinions. After this incident, Castiel’s image in everyone’s eyes had fallen drastically.Liana, who had been hiding behind Castiel, stepped forward.“You all think you can threaten us because you outnumber us? You’re just trying to intimidate us!“This matter has nothing to do with Castiel.“This isn’t the first time. Eira and June were always jealous of me. Maybe they let in the zombies on purpose!“Besides, even if there was a zombie siege, how could there be so many casualties? They must be lying!”One of the women could not listen to Liana any longer. She stepped forward and slapped her.June had saved that woman’s life.Without June, she would have become zombie food.If June really intended to harm others, would she have tried to help

Chapter 7

A flicker of disbelief crossed Castiel’s eyes as his breath quickened.He had loved his wife.After she gave birth, he thought she had lost her charm. The harshness of the apocalypse left her looking gaunt and sallow.I thought Castiel would at least show remorse, but he brushed off June’s death so casually.“I’ll avenge June! I’ll slaughter every last zombie!“Right now, the most important thing is to get me out of here, Eira.”Castiel’s words made me laugh bitterly.“You killed June. Her death was your fault, not anyone else’s. What makes you think I would help you?!”Castiel roared in rage, “Eira, she was just an outsider! I’m your real brother!”‘An outsider?’ I thought.All these years, June had looked after me and cared for me.When the zombies attacked, she shielded me behind her.Meanwhile, my dear brother was out bathing with his mistress!What a laughable family we were!What a pathetic man Castiel was!Even in her final moments, June believed Castiel would com

Chapter 8

We had yet to elect a new leader for the base, but we voted on what to do with the previous leader first.The result was a full landslide approval. While Castiel was still licking the leftovers in the bowl, a group of people rushed to the warehouse.They hit the pair with broken sticks and broke their legs.Their screams echoed in the air. Everyone heard them.But no one cared. They had lost their families because of Castiel’s indifference, after all.Who would feel pity for someone who had not cared for his own people? He was bound to be punished sooner or later.Their legs were broken, and they were unable to move. The people threw them out of the base.Castiel had created this rule in the first place.He must have never thought that the rule would apply to him too someday.Blood oozing out of their legs and Liana’s cry attracted the surrounding zombies.Castiel covered the wound to avoid losing too much blood.Then, he glared at Liana. “Shut up, you idiot!“We will all

Chapter 9

Lucian looked up at us. His voice trembled with rage. “You dare scheme against me?!”I let out a cold laugh.“Weren’t you the one who targeted us first?“We’re giving you two options: leave the Northern Base to us, or feed your people to the zombies.”Lucian was so angry that the veins on his temples bulged. He refused at first, of course.But the zombies closing in on him changed his mind, and he reluctantly conceded.We distributed the base’s special serum to him and his force. It was harmless unless they turned on us.If they betrayed us, they would explode.In this post-apocalyptic world of deceit, it was essential to guard against treachery.With the Northern Base’s manpower and resources, our base’s reconstruction sped up significantly.Single women from the Northern Base began forming relationships with our base members.The previous hostility between the two sides eased considerably as they worked together to rebuild everything.To fortify the base walls, I holed up
