Chapter 1

"Faith, congratulations! This time, your success rate of guiding us to awaken our elemental abilities struck 100% again!""Yeah! As long as Faith’s here, our Vanguard Base has the highest number of awakened in the entire Federation of Survivors!"Surrounded by the crowd, I felt a flicker of disorientation.The scent at the tip of my nose wasn’t the putrid rot of the zombie pit but the sharp, sterile smell of disinfectant from the lab.I instinctively reached for my arms and legs. They were whole. They hadn’t been broken. There was no bone-deep agony from being torn apart by zombies."Hold on!"Just as General Brett Thomas was about to announce me as this month’s top researcher, my so-called best friend, Ruby Barrett, suddenly stepped forward. Her expression was timid, almost fragile."General, actually… this guidance plan was mine."The moment I looked at her innocent, harmless face, it hit me. I had come back to the exact day Ruby first claimed she’d mastered the Spark of Domi

Chapter 2

Ruby turned her head and shot me a provocative look, her eyes brimming with smug satisfaction.I stood at the edge of the crowd, a faint, cold smile tugging at my lips.Just as I thought.A moment ago, I had cursed her in my mind, calling her an idiot, and she hadn’t reacted at all. However, the second I started thinking through specific skill data, she responded immediately.So her mind-reading skill wasn’t all-knowing. It seemed she could only pick up on the most focused, technical thoughts in my mind."Faith, looks like you’ve got nothing left to say now, huh?" A tall figure pushed through the crowd. It was the captain of the guard, Zachary Bridges, and my current boyfriend. He walked straight to Ruby’s side, gently wiping the sweat from her forehead with clear concern.Then he turned to glare at me, his voice thick with disappointment and disgust. "While Ruby was guiding just now, I saw you standing there, smirking the whole time."What? Seeing her succeed makes you uncomfor

Chapter 3

For the next half month, I stayed by Ruby’s side, "assisting" her.No matter how complex the situation was, the moment we encountered a difficult awakening case, I would immediately construct the optimal guidance model in my mind.A fire-element user going berserk?I silently ran through it in my head, 'Compress oxygen density…'Ruby followed instantly. Success.A water-element user suffering from dehydration?I analyzed internally, 'Replenish electrolytes…'Ruby did the same again. Problem solved, flawlessly.With my cooperation, Ruby’s reputation skyrocketed. She was hailed as the savior of the apocalypse, the Mother of Elements. Some even proposed building a statue in her honor.As Ruby’s position solidified, another matter that drew the attention of the entire base was pushed onto the agenda: the Genesis Initiative.In this apocalyptic world, the human population had plummeted. Preserving superior genetics had become the top priority.The base had set a rule: only men an

I pulled my hand free, a solemn, almost tragic expression settling over my face. "Zachary, you’re right. In the face of humanity’s survival, what does personal love even matter?"I turned and looked at Ruby Barrett, who stood there with guilt written all over her face. "Ruby, since everyone thinks you two are the better match, then I’ll step aside and make it happen. I hope you’ll give humanity the strongest possible child. Don’t let everyone’s expectations down.""Faith..." Ruby’s eyes filled with tears, visibly moved. "Thank you! You’re incredible! Zachary and I will never forget your sacrifice!"Zachary let out a breath of relief. "Don’t worry, Faith. When we have a child, we’ll have them call you their godmother."The entire room erupted into applause.I stood in the corner, watching the pair being elevated onto a pedestal, a cold gaze in my eyes.The party didn’t last long.Three days later, the most critical day arrived. It was the destined day when the base’s Supreme Lead

Outside the isolation chamber, a deathly silence fell.Everyone stood frozen, mouths open, staring at Ruby in disbelief.Even Commander Morris, who was teetering on the edge of a full meltdown, paused for a split second at her shout."Left hand, right hand, slow motion?" General Thomas roared, "Ruby, what are you doing?! Is that supposed to be a guidance protocol?!"Only after shouting did Ruby seem to realize what she had just said. She clapped a hand over her mouth, her face draining of all color.What was happening?Just now, she had clearly sensed that exact phrase flash through my mind, and my mental state had been unwavering, completely certain. It had to be the key guidance formula.So why did it come out sounding like a workout chant?!"N-no… that’s not it!" Ruby stammered, panic setting in, cold sweat beading on her forehead. "This… this is an ancient resonance technique! It uses specific sound frequencies to stabilize the lightning elements!"She babbled excuses whil

Chapter 6

This method was something I had paid for with my life in my past life. Every single step was etched into my memory with absolute clarity.Inside the isolation chamber, Commander Morris, who was on the brink of losing control, paused when he heard my voice."Three inches below your left rib—that’s your energy blockage point. Use the lightning to break through it. It’s going to hurt. Endure it."Commander Morris let out a muffled grunt, but he followed my instructions.The chaotic black-red lightning that had been lashing wildly began to move in a controlled pattern around his body."Even at the elite level, you still have to obey the law of energy conservation. Step three: release the excess charge."Boom!Commander Morris’s eyes snapped open. The blood-red color was gone, replaced by a brilliant violet-gold glow.With a single wave of his hand, a bolt of lightning, condensed to its absolute limit, pierced through half a meter of reinforced insulation and shot straight into the

"During my awakening, my consciousness was blurred, but I could sense two distinct mental forces." Commander Morris pointed at Ruby. "One of them was greedy and frantic, darting around like a thief. It nearly drove me into a complete breakdown."Then he turned to me, and the coldness in his eyes softened instantly. "The other never directly touched me, but that voice was calm and precise, like a beacon guiding me."If Faith hadn’t taken over at the end, I’d already be dead."Commander Morris turned back, his gaze icy as it landed on General Thomas. "General Thomas, this is the Mother of Elements you chose?"Cold sweat poured down Brett’s face as he shot Ruby a furious glare. "Ruby! What do you have to say for yourself?! You dared to deceive the base?!""N-no… that’s not true… Zachary, help me…" Ruby clutched at Zachary’s pant leg in desperation. His face darkened. Without hesitation, he kicked her away."Get off me! You liar!" He pointed at her, righteous fury in his voice. "I tr

Chapter 8

There was trouble on all sides.If we wanted to move that awakened individual, we’d have to break through the zombie horde."I’ll go." I stepped forward without hesitation. "I’m the only one who can guide his spatial ability and stabilize his energy fluctuations.""No. It’s too dangerous." Commander Morris grabbed my wrist, the heat of his palm searing against my skin. "The outside is swarming with zombies. How are you going to protect him on your own?"He turned his gaze to Zachary and Ruby, who were being restrained on the ground. "You said everything you did was for humanity. Then here’s your chance to make it right."Zachary and Ruby’s eyes lit up instantly.Even with the zombie horde outside, having Commander Morris, who was an elite lightning user, there was still a chance. It was far better than being executed or thrown into a death squad."I’ll go! I’ll drive!" Zachary scrambled up, practically tripping over himself in his urgency.Ruby shot me a venomous glance before

Chapter 9

I turned back, catching only a glimpse of that familiar figure being swallowed by a tide of black.Even in her final moments, Ruby’s eyes, which were filled with venom, remained locked on the departing vehicle.In my past life, she pushed me into a pit of zombies. In this life, she reaped what she had sown.Inside the vehicle, the air was still thick with shock. Commander Morris pulled me tightly into his arms."Faith, are you hurt?" His low voice brushed against my ear.I looked up, meeting his deep, piercing gaze. The fear and urgency in his eyes were unmistakably real. For a moment, time seemed to stand still."Thank you," I said softly.Commander Morris released me, his voice low. "No. I should be thanking you. If something had happened to you, I don’t know what I would’ve done."The tension between us felt out of place against the blood-soaked chaos, yet strangely compelling.At last, the vehicle broke free from the encircling horde and arrived at an open, abandoned quarr
