Alle Kapitel von Reborn Before The Climate Apocalypse : Kapitel 51 – Kapitel 60

"If my tactical boots melt to this asphalt one more time, I am going to legally sue the Sun!" Ethan yelled, trying to pry his left boot heel off the bubbling black tar near the compound solar panels.SQUULCH-POP!"Ethan, stop complaining about your boots and help me angle these reflective solar shields!" Kai shouted down from the watchtower roof, wiping a stream of sweat off his forehead with a damp shop rag. "The temperature gauge on the main generator just hit fifty-two degrees Celsius! The cooling fans are literally blowing hot hair dryer wind at the batteries!""Fifty-two degrees?!" Ethan squeaked, slapping both hands over his cheeks. "That's not climate change, Kai! That's a medium-rare roast beef oven!""Keep moving, both of you!" I called out, trotting past them while balancing a fifty-gallon barrel of cold well water on my right shoulder. "The afternoon solar spike is coming in twenty minutes! If these cooling units fail, the settlement's emergency meat freezer goes down!""Mi

"If another faction leader tries to flip a table at me, I am going to freeze their chair to the floor!" I announced loudly, marching into the central coalition tent and slamming a heavy stack of water distribution schedules onto the wooden field desk. SLAM! "Mia, calm down. Diplomacy is a delicate art," Adrian said smoothly, not even looking up from his tactical map. He was leaning over a topographic grid with a blue grease pencil, his uniform collar neatly buttoned despite the residual desert heat. "Art?! Sparky, that guy with the camo vest literally tried to chew on a wooden pencil because he didn't want to share three barrels of well water!" I threw my hands up in exasperation, pacing across the dirt floor. "You can't negotiate with turnips who don't understand basic math!" "They understand math just fine," Adrian replied calmly, tracing a blue marker line between the Valley Dam Station and the Ridge-Gate Compound. "They simply calculate that fighting us is cheaper than rat

The heavy black-armored trucks idling outside our perimeter wall looked like giant iron cockroaches on wheels. "Deliver ten thousand gallons of water and fifty crates of food?!" Ethan shrieked from behind the sandbag barricade, holding his flour-dusted wooden ladle like a bayonet. "Do they think Mia's Space is an all-you-can-eat buffets with a drive-thru window?!" "Keep your head down, Ethan!" Kai shouted down from the watchtower, adjusting his secondary rifle sight while squinting through the dust cloud. "Boss, their lead truck is packing a modified heavy turret! And look at their chest plates—they've got specialized suppression rods clipped to their tactical vests!" "They came prepared for ability users," Adrian said coldly, stepping up to the gate railing. Blue lightning crackled along his shoulders, humming with high-voltage static that made the dust particles float around his boots. "They didn't just guess Mia was here. They had exact coordinates and inventory numbers." "Whic

Dust and pulverized concrete filled the morning air like a thick, choking fog.CRACK-RUMBLE-KABOOM!The northern perimeter wall, already compromised by the raiders' siege engines, finally gave out. A massive fifty-foot section of heavy stone and reinforced rebar collapsed inward with a deafening roar, sending high waves of debris crashing down onto the eastern residential block!"Civilians trapped under the upper foundation!" Kai shouted from his observation perch, racking his rifle bolt back as small groups of scavengers pushed through the dust cloud. "Boss! We've got enemy stragglers pushing past the breach, and the central medical tent is taking fire!""Mia!" Adrian called out, his broadsword humming with low, steady arcs of blue lightning as he held the main breach line beside Leo. Sweat and dirt streaked his face, but his voice was crisp, commanding, and absolute."We have three immediate crisis sectors: the trapped civilians under the residential collapse, the medical inventory s

"If you burn one more target dummy into radioactive charcoal, Mia, I am going to make you weave new ones out of mountain straw by hand!" Kai shouted from the edge of the ruined training grounds, holding a clipboard covered in soot.SZZZZZZT-KABOOM!"Kai, target dummies are built to be destroyed! It is literally in their job description!" I yelled back, lowering my hands as the thick violet smoke cleared from the scorched dirt path.A three-inch-thick steel practice plate, set fifty yards away, now had a razor-thin, perfectly smooth diagonal slash right through its center. The edges of the cut were glowing white-hot, but the rest of the metal frame remained completely untouched."Look at that cut!" I cheered, pointing proudly at the severed steel plate with my dark blade. "No massive collateral explosion! No setting the kitchen on fire! Pure, razor-sharp efficiency!""It's impressive, contractor," Adrian said, stepping out from behind the
