Chapter 1

The moment I heard the zombies outside the base howling through the mountain woods, I knew I had been reborn.Instinct took over. I bolted out of the room and lunged straight for the broadcast station's control panel."Attention, everyone! This is not a drill! A large-scale horde is closing in! All personnel, fall back to the underground safe room immediately!"The words had barely left my mouth when the noise outside spiked. The snarls grew thicker, closer, and mingled with panicked screams from the humans."Everyone, move! Now!"I gripped the dagger in my hand, herding the scattered crowd while slashing down a few zombies that had already broken in. "Head to the safe room. Stay together and keep calm!"The retreat was a nightmare. Danger came from every corner.I dragged a few kids who were frozen in shock and shoved them through the reinforced door. Then, I swung back and buried my blade into a zombie's neck before stumbling in after them, barely holding it together.The hea

Chapter 2

Audrey forced her anger down, speaking fast, as if time was working against us. "The base is under siege, Quinton! A full-blown horde! The safe door won't hold much longer! Get the outer high-voltage grid online now!"Everyone's heart jumped into their throat."Mom, what are you talking about? The power's locked in for the hilltop lights. Not a second can go out. If I divert it to the grid, what happens to Maddie's birthday setup?"He let out a dismissive laugh. "Is Selene feeding you panic again? She's that jealous of Maddie, huh? I'm just up here watching the sunrise with her. Yet, Selene has gone so far as to team up with you to spin a lie just to drag me back?"Audrey was shaking with rage. "You foolish idiot! Do you have any idea—"The line went dead, cut off without a second thought. The safe room fell into a heavy silence. Despair spread like an infection."It's over… We're done for this time…"I stared at the door, which was already warped and buckling. My chest tightene

Chapter 3

The breach in the safe room was patched up for now, but everyone knew it wouldn't last for long.I reached out to steady Audrey. "Mom, I'm going with you!"I glanced at the blood on the floor. My voice was firm. "Everyone's counting on us. If we push through, we still have a shot!"Audrey looked at me for a long moment, then finally nodded. I helped her along as we moved forward. A zombie had torn off her left arm, and blood was pouring out of her."Once we get over this ridge… we're almost there…"From halfway up the mountain, we could already make out the outline of the distant base. Hope flickered back to life. And then…A flare shell exploded right in front of us. The blast wave slammed into us, sending us flying.I looked up in shock. Through the haze, I could make out Quinton with his arm around Madeline. A second later, his voice boomed from the loudspeakers on the hilltop, dripping with mockery."Just as I predicted, Selene. Your little act didn't work, so now you're fo

Chapter 4

Madeline's soft voice came through the loudspeakers. "Selene, just throw the body off the cliff! If the zombies catch the scent, they'll come swarming, and you'll die, too!"Several of the squad members who had witnessed everything showed hesitation and unease on their faces.A young soldier, Julian Stone, leaned in and whispered to his teammate, "Mrs. Morwood doesn't look like she's faking it…"He hesitated briefly, then finally voiced what had been stuck in his mind for a long time. "Could something actually happen at the base? What if what she said was true—"Before he could finish, another teammate cut him off. "How could Captain Morwood not know what's going on at the base? I bet his wife is just jealous of Ms. Moore and staged a scene. Women like that always let jealousy get the best of them."Still, Julian wasn't quite convinced. He muttered under his breath, "But what if, though? What if something did happen back at the base? Our families are all still there!"A squad lea

Chapter 5

It meant the safe room had completely fallen. There were no survivors left.Everyone froze in place. The old squad member who had just been mocking us was the first to react. He stumbled forward and threw himself toward the cliff edge, staring down the mountain."It's the Maximum Alert… The Maximum Alert! My wife and kids are still in there!"Julian's face turned ashen. His lips trembled as he stood there in shock.In the heavy silence, I used every last bit of strength I had left and looked at Quinton. "Do you hear that, Quinton? They're all dead… That's the sunrise you bought for Madeline with everyone's lives. Are you satisfied now?"Even your mother, whom you respect the most, was killed because of you!"Back at the base, the safe door was already twisted out of shape, hanging open like a torn mouth.Pools of bright red blood had formed on the ground. Shattered limbs, ripped clothing, and scattered organs were mixed in a grotesque mess.A few zombies were already crouched o

Chapter 6

"You still have the nerve to ask about Mom?" I said, looking straight into Quinton's eyes. "She's dead! You killed her with your own damn rocket launcher!"My voice started shaking uncontrollably. In my mind, I still saw the moment Audrey's body was blown apart."Her body is down at the bottom of the cliff, being eaten by vultures! You did this, Quinton! You killed her!" I roared. Tears spilled down in heavy drops.Quinton's knees gave out. He dropped straight down onto the ground. "No way… It wasn't me. How could it be me?"A heavy, suffocating grief swallowed the whole room. It pressed on everyone's chest, making it hard to breathe. Then, from the side where she had been silently standing, Madeline finally stepped forward.Her voice carried just the right amount of confusion as she asked, "But why did the zombie outbreak happen right when it was my birthday?"She frowned slightly, as if she genuinely couldn't understand it. "And why is it that there isn't a single security guar

Chapter 7

Quinton walked up to me step by step. His eyes were cold and cruel. "You witch!"He let out a low, furious growl, then lifted his foot and stomped on my abdomen. As if that wasn't enough, he grabbed my hair and slapped me a few times across the face.My cheek swelled instantly. A sharp ringing filled my ears."Why did you do that?" he roared, not halting his actions. "If it weren't for you, Mom wouldn't have died!"Looking at his hypocritical face, I couldn't help but let out a low laugh. I was laughing at myself, at how blind I had been back then to ever fall for a man as cowardly and avoidant as him.My laughter only pushed Quinton further over the edge. He grabbed my injured hand and dug his fingers straight into the severed finger wound. Blood burst out instantly.The pain shot through me like lightning. My face went ghostly pale, with cold sweat drenching it.By the time I was on the verge of passing out, he flung me to the ground like trash and looked down at me from above

Chapter 8

"Right! The fence…"However, when the squad rushed toward the control room, they ran straight into a crushing truth."Report—the power for the high-voltage fence… has all been rerouted to the fireworks system on the hilltop!"They came stumbling back. Their faces were completely hollow."What?"Quinton coughed up a mouthful of blood. His eyes were filled with despair and regret.The old squad member who had once defended him finally broke down. He dropped to his knees and screamed, "We did this to ourselves! We threw away our only chance of survival for a woman's birthday!"Hiding behind the rock, I watched it all unfold. My heart felt like it was being cut apart. In the face of a disaster like this, humans were nothing but small, pathetic lives.Still, no matter how small, we couldn't bow to fate.The moment a zombie lunged at Julian, I rushed out without hesitation. I used my injured body to block the fatal strike head-on."Ms. Lockhart, why did you step out?" he asked, loo

Chapter 9

The officer's tone couldn't be colder. "Help you? Who helped all the innocent lives you killed, then?"A scream pierced through the air. The next second, a zombie slammed into Madeline and pinned her to the ground. She struggled wildly, but there was no escaping.Another zombie opened its mouth and bit down hard on her leg. A clear, sickening crack of bone breaking echoed through the battlefield."Save me… I'm sorry… Please… It hurts so much…"Her screams rang out, yet no one moved. One by one, more zombies swarmed in and tore into her body with brutal force.Madeline's final gaze was fixed on the sky. Her eyes were filled with sheer despair.When the horde finally dispersed with low, satisfied growls, all that was left on the ground was a blurry pool of flesh and blood.In the heavy silence, the old squad member who had once led the mockery dropped to his knees in front of me. His trembling hands pressed into the dirt as he slammed his forehead down hard."Ms. Lockhart, we wer
