All Chapters of Reborn Before The Apocalypse: My Revenge Begins: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Clara leaned closer to the screen, her mind already racing through the possibilities.Her fingers curled slowly at her sides. Whatever was stored on that device could help them survive.The System screen flickered once before disappearing, leaving Clara alone with her thoughts.She remained seated for several seconds, staring at the empty space where the screen had been before reaching for the map beside her bed.The City Communications Center was on the eastern side of the city, several kilometers from the fire station. The route would take her through some of the worst-hit areas, and after what had happened at the gardening store, she knew she couldn't afford to be careless.If someone inside the station was passing information to the people outside, revealing the mission could put her in danger before she even reached the communications center.Clara folded the map and slipped it beneath her pillow.She would leave in the morning, but this time, she would be careful about who knew

Mark woke to silence.For several seconds, he lay still, staring at the ceiling as he struggled to remember where he was. His head felt heavy, and his mouth was painfully dry. When he tried to move, his muscles felt weak, as though whatever had happened had drained every bit of strength from his body.Then the memories came rushing back.Emily.The food.The survivors collapsing around him. And Emily standing there, watching him with that calm, almost loving smile.Mark suddenly pushed himself upright.His head spun violently, forcing him to grip the edge of the table until the room finally steadied. He looked around the house, his eyes moving from one survivor to another.The house was quiet.Several survivors were still slumped over the table and chairs, while others lay on the floor. A few had begun to stir, groaning softly as they slowly regained consciousness.Mark barely noticed them.His eyes immediately went to the corner where he had left his supplies.His bag was gone.Mark

The infected collapsed one after another as the survivors continued firing, their gunshots echoing between the abandoned buildings.“Keep shooting!” one of the men shouted.Another infected dropped onto the road, its body sliding across the asphalt before coming to a stop. Clara swung her metal rod into the head of another that had gotten too close, then quickly stepped back when two more rushed toward her.“Behind you!” Derek shouted.Clara turned just in time to see an infected lunging at her. She raised the rod and blocked its arms before driving her knee into its stomach. The creature staggered backward, giving one of the survivors enough time to fire a bullet into its head.“Got it!” the survivor shouted.Clara nodded, but she barely had time to catch her breath before another group of infected emerged from between the abandoned vehicles.Her stomach tightened.There were more of them now, and they were appearing faster than the survivors could bring them down.“There's too man

Clara kicked the door open.The first infected lunged through the doorway with enough force to shake the metal frame.Clara stepped aside as one of the survivors raised his weapon and fired. The bullet struck the infected in the chest, but instead of collapsing, it slammed into the wall, staggered for barely a second, then pushed itself upright.Clara's eyes widened.A shot to the body should have put it down.Before she could react, another infected rushed out of the room.Derek fired twice.The bullets struck its chest, forcing it backward, but it recovered almost immediately and charged again.“Back up!” Clara shouted.She swung her metal rod at its face. The blow knocked its head sideways, but the infected recovered far faster than she expected. It twisted toward her and swiped at her face.Clara raised her weapon just in time.The claws struck the metal with a sharp clang, the force driving her several steps backward.Her grip tightened as she realized how much force the creature

The fire station came into view just before sunset. Clara watched it through the windshield as they drove along the familiar streets. After everything they had seen at the communications center, the sight of the station brought a brief sense of relief.They had made it back.But the feeling didn't last long.Her mind kept returning to everything they had discovered, the military transmissions, the BioGen facility, Genesis, and the infected they had fought inside the communications center.Stage Two.Clara tightened her grip on the steering wheel.She had spent most of her previous life believing she understood how the outbreak would unfold. She knew when things would become worse, when the infected would begin changing, and which threats would eventually appear.But this time, everything was happening differently.She didn't know how far ahead of her the new timeline had already moved, and that uncertainty frightened her more than she wanted to admit.The vehicle stopped inside the c
