บททั้งหมดของ REBORN SIXTY DAYS BEFORE THE DEAD RISE: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

The cabin was filled with survivors.They sat in circles, on the floor, against the walls. Every available space was occupied by someone who had lost everything and was still willing to fight for something.I stood at the center.Adrian stood beside me.Elena stood on my other side.Daniel was near the door, watching, waiting.I looked at the faces around me.They were tired. They were scared. They were broken.But they were here.And that meant everything."Thank you for coming," I said.The room fell silent."I know we've all lost people. I know we've all suffered. I know we've all been through hell."I paused."But we're still here. We're still breathing. And we're still fighting."A murmur of agreement."I've been running my whole life. Running from the past. Running from the future. Running from myself."I looked at Adrian."But I'm done running."I looked at the survivors."We're going to the Helix facility. We're going to destroy Voss's research. We're going to end this.""Scar

The survivors gathered in the ruins of an old farmhouse.The walls were crumbling. The roof was gone. But it offered shelter from the cold wind that swept across the open fields. We huddled together, catching our breath, trying to process what we had just witnessed.Voss was dead.Or so I thought.But his legacy lived on.The infected army was still out there.Thousands of them.Controlled. Organized. Obedient.They didn't attack randomly anymore.They followed orders.They responded to commands.They were a weapon.And someone was still holding the trigger.I sat against the wall, my body aching, my mind racing. Adrian sat beside me, his hand resting on my shoulder. Elena was across the room, tending to the wounded.Daniel stood near the door, watching the darkness."I don't understand," Elena said. "If Voss is dead, who's controlling them?"I shook my head."Someone else. Someone who knew his plans. Someone who's been waiting for this moment.""Victoria?""Maybe. Or someone worse."

The warehouse was dark and cold.I stood in the center of the room, my eyes fixed on the message scrawled across the wall. Voss's words echoed in my mind, taunting me, challenging me.I know your future. I've seen it. You can't escape your destiny.But I had blocked his signal.I had broken his connection.He couldn't see inside my head anymore.Could he?Maya approached me."Scarlett, there's something else.""What?"She led me to a corner of the warehouse.A large machine sat against the wall.It was covered in dust.But it was still operational."What is it?" I asked.Maya's face was pale."It's a memory extraction device.""A what?""It extracts memories from living subjects. It's how Voss knew about Claire Morgan. It's how he knew about your mother. It's how he knew about everything."I stared at the machine."He used this on Claire?""Yes. She was one of the first subjects. He extracted her memories, all of them. That's how he knew about the marker, the timeline, the cure."I fe

The tunnel stretched into darkness.I led the way, my flashlight cutting through the blackness, illuminating the damp walls and the rusted pipes that lined the ceiling. The air was cold and thick, heavy with the smell of earth and decay.Adrian walked behind me, his weapon ready. Maya followed, her laptop case slung over her shoulder, her eyes scanning for any sign of danger.We had found the entrance near an abandoned warehouse. A hidden hatch covered by weeds and debris. The tunnel was old. Forgotten. But it led to the one place we needed to go.The main Helix research laboratory.The facility that Voss had built to continue his work.The place where he had created his nightmare.The tunnel ended at a steel door.I pressed my ear against it.Silence.I opened it.We stepped inside.The room beyond was vast.Laboratory benches lined the walls. Screens flickered with data. Machines hummed quietly. Tanks of liquid glowed in the dim light.And in the center of the room, rows of examinat

The facility was quiet now.The subjects had been freed. The containment cells were empty. The machines were silent. But there was still work to be done.I walked through the corridors, searching for anything we might have missed. Adrian was beside me. Maya was analyzing the data we'd recovered.Noah was in the main laboratory.He had been there for hours.He had found something.I approached the door.Noah was hunched over a table, surrounded by papers and vials. His face was pale, his eyes wide, his hands trembling slightly."Noah?"He looked up."Scarlett. You need to see this."I walked toward him.He handed me a folder.It was thick, filled with documents. I opened it.The first page read:Project: CureLead Researcher: Dr. Evelyn ValeMy mother's name.I felt my heart skip.I read further.Objective: Develop a cure for the virus. A way to destroy the infection and restore humanity.I flipped through the pages.The research was detailed. Comprehensive. Brilliant. My mother had be
