All Chapters of Reborn 60 Days Before The Apocalypse: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Jake sat on the floor of his living room, shoulders slouched with his head in his hands.Just days ago, he was sure that he had a sure plan to survive the raging storms outside and the starvation it had caused afterwards. Now, it was like all of his plans had been reduced to rubble before his eyes.For starters, Rachel took Ethan. Jake was not sure when or how it happened but Rachel returned and took Ethan with her, leaving only him and Janet in the house. As much as Jake was grateful for having one less mouth to feed, being left alone with his mother was the worst thing that could have happened.Janet kept hitting his shoulder and the back of his head, calling him a "loser" over and over again.“If you had not divorced Scarlett, we would not be in this mess,” she whined in his ear. “We would be living in the biggest and safest house in the neighborhood. We would not be worrying about the flood or food.”Just a few days ago, Janet had not been like this.Jake had managed to get some f

Shawn was an engineer who worked for a well-known automobile manufacturing company in the country. He was in a managerial position and made good money to afford to live in Sparkling Gates for a few years by himself.He and Scarlett had met for the first time when her car refused to start on a morning that she was rushing to work. Shawn had been passing by and spotted her panicking in her driveway and stopped to help without asking for anything in return.The moment he was finished, he went on his way without even introducing himself. If Scarlett had not asked around, she would not have known who he was.This made him the perfect person to become Scarlett’s eyes and ears in the community. He always kept a low profile and rarely got involved in neighborhood gossip so he would not be noticed if he was watching the other neighbors.Like many of the other residents, Shawn had been forced to leave his flooded home near the bottom of the hill that Sparkling Gates was built on to move into th

Seeing that they were losing the crowd’s support, Dylan's younger brother, Lucas, stepped forward and raised his voice."Scarlett should treat every neighbor fairly. She shouldn't favor some people over others," he said in an attempt to remind everyone of why they were here. He knew that the moment the neighbors started to distrust each other, they would lose their leverage of togetherness over Scarlett.Scarlett had always known Dylan's family was difficult to deal with, all of them sharp-tongued and cunning enough to convince people over to their side. Otherwise, the neighbors would never have tolerated him bragging about his so-called kindness for so many years.Now that Lucas had spoken up, everything became clear to her. These selfish people could not even pretend to hide their greed. If anyone stopped and thought a bit beyond their hunger, they would realise that they were being used to put pressure on Scarlett.However, she was long prepared to turn their tricks back on them. S

Scarlett looked at Shirley and her boyfriend, who were both excited about the government's rescue operation, thinking of the most delicate way to burst their bubble.She had to advise them not to rush to the shelter for their own good."I think you should watch the situation for a while first," she said cautiously, looking between their faces. Shirley’s frown was enough to prompt a deeper explanation from Scarlett’s mouth."The shelters may not have enough supplies either and people would be fighting for it. It would be better to use this time to search for more food while you still can. Stay at home for now, and wait until the situation becomes more stable."Despite Scarlett trying to play it off as a casual suggestion, her concern still came out in her voice.Shirley thought about it and nodded, figuring that . "You're right."Shirley could see where Scarlett was coming from. Soon, the other residents would rush to be evacuated by the government. She decided to wait until then befor

No. A chill was not the best word to use to describe this.It was more like he was feeling air in a place that air was not supposed to be able to get to. Slowly, he looked down and saw that his right arm had been completely severed from his body.Just as his brain was struggling to compute what had just happened, agonizing pain shot through his entire body. He keeled over and let out a loud scream, clutching where his arm ought to be.Scarlett watched him groan in pain without a shred of pity in her heart. When she spoke, her voice was completely cold. "Only cowards steal from women."The woman. It was her who did this to him. How did she…Before he could even turn around, Scarlett quietly released a bullet from her Pocket Space. It pierced straight through his heart.His eyes widened in disbelief as his entire body jolted. The next moment, he toppled backward into the floodwater and slowly sank beneath the surface.The man holding the pistol froze, his eyes darting around as he tried
