《BACK FROM THE DEAD: MY APOCALYPSE LEVEL-UP SYSTEM》全部章節：第 41 章 - 第 50 章

Chapter 41: Powering UpThe electric hum of the reactor vibrated straight through the soles of my boots, sending a low tremor up my legs.The red system timer flickered in the corner of my vision, but my eyes stayed glued to the swirling blue sphere hanging over the water pool. The light cast long, dancing shadows across the lead walls, turning the damp room into a cavern of shifting blue."LUS," I breathed, my fingers tightening on the grip of my rifle as I stepped closer to the edge of the walkway. "Tell me this isn't going to blow up in my face."BEEP![Diagnostic Report: Core Reactor Model-V][Primary Magnetic Containment Field: Instability Detected (68% Efficiency)][Coolant Flow: Blocked in Sub-Level 3 Bypass Valves][Warning: Plasma Leak Imminent in 14 Minutes if Unstabilized.]My stomach dropped, a cold spike of panic shooting through my chest. "Fourteen minutes? You said the core was working!""Working does not mean stable, Eva," LUS answered softly in my mind, the blue text

Chapter 43: Securing the BorderThe screams of three hundred terrified people bounced off the mountain walls, mixing with the thunderous roar of the oncoming pack."Move! Clear the gateway! Get the kids in first!" I roared, my throat raw as I slammed my back against the side of the open blast door.Panicked survivors shoved past each other, dropping bags of food, toolboxes, and clothes onto the snow as they scrambled into the warm garage bay. Andrew pulled his two small kids through the heavy steel doorway, his hands trembling so hard he almost dropped them."Keep moving!" Chief Miller yelled, grabbing a weeping woman by the arm and shoving her inside. He turned to me, his broad face slick with cold sweat. "Eva! They’re coming up the hill too fast! The people at the back of the line aren't going to make it!"Down the gravel yard, a rusted yellow pickup truck stalled out. A young woman jammed her foot on the gas, but the engine only let out a sick metallic sputter before dying complete

Chapter 45: Labor and LeverageThe metal pickaxe hit the ground with a dull heavy thud.CLANG!A sharp vibration shot up Marcus’s skinny arms rattling his teeth together. He let out a wet cough, dropping the heavy tool into the snow and sinking right onto his knees. The icy mud soaked through his thin pants biting into his skin but he just didn't have the strength to stand back up."Get up bottom-tier! !" a loud voice barked from above.A heavy boot kicked a spray of slush into Marcus's face. He winced, wiping the gray sludge off his eyes with the back of a shaking hand. He looked up squinting through the falling snow at the guard standing over him.It was one of Chief Miller’s men, a guy named Hank. He wore a wool coat with a shotgun slung over his shoulder and a warm cloud of steam rose from his mouth every time he breathed."I... I can't " Marcus choked out his throat dry and scratchy. "Please... Just give me five minutes. My arms... I can't feel my fingers. My chest hurts badly...

Chapter 47: The Intel TradeThe quiet in the room was heavy, so thick it made my chest ache. Outside, the nuclear reactor hummed quietly under the floor, but inside, neither of us moved a muscle.Justin kept his dark eyes locked on mine. The only thing moving was the steam rising off the two tin cups Miller had left on the table."Three hundred raiders," I said softly, dragging my fingernail around the rim of my mug. "Five tanks. A rocket squad. That’s not a quick raid, Justin. That’s an army.""It's an army built to break down iron doors," Justin said. He dropped his voice so low I had to lean in to hear him over the trucks outside. "They aren't here to trade. They know you fixed the power core, Eva. They want to turn off your lights, kill your guards, and take this mountain for themselves."I didn't flinch. I kept my face totally blank, but my stomach twisted into a tight knot. My right hand stayed flat on the metal table, right next to my gun."How do you know all this?" I asked, s

Chapter 49: The Tier 3 TerrorThe sound was not made by the wind. It was too deep. It sounded like a mountain breaking in half.I grabbed Justin's jacket. Pulled him back as the snow on the ledge fell apart. Huge chunks of ice and rock came crashing down into the gravel sending powder flying over our boots."Get back!" I yelled, my voice loud and clear over the wind. "Vanguard fall back to the pipes!""Stand your ground!" Mark shouted from the rocks his rifle raised. "Light up the cliff! Now!"The flashlights cut through the dark shining lights on the stone wall. The air was freezing. I was sweating and my heart was pounding so hard I thought my chest would break. Beside me Justin was breathing fast and short as he aimed his rifle at the falling rocks."What is that?" Justin whispered, his fingers tight on his gun. "Eva what is there?""It is not a raider, " I said softly, my fingers on the grip of my own rifle. "It is what ate them."A massive black hand slammed onto the edge of the
